Joel Sebastian, J.J. Jeffrey (first show) on 89 WLS Chicago | 1971

Almost 18 minutes of pure heaven. Thanks again to Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks, a huge slice of WLS!

Included: tons of early 70s commercials and those awesome WLS Jingles! J.J. Jeffrey would go on to station ownership later in his career. WLS would go on to number one status later that year.

    When did Joel Sebastian go to WLS? I know he was WCFL in ‘67. And catch United Artists Records promoting Don McLean in June (AMERICAN PIE–single and album–wouldn’t enter BILLBOARD until November).

    JOEL SEBASTIAN WAS ENTERTAINING AND JJ WAS EXCELLENT AS USUAL. I LOVED LISTENING TO HIM WHILE GROWING UP IN CHICAGO.

    Joel was my hero when I worked for him at WCFL in 1965-6. I want to commemorate his life in some way and would appreciate any comments! He died very young, age 54, of cancer and there is very little about him on the Internet….let’s rectify that! Thanks!

    great listening to JJ Jeffries. He was an early jock at Portland ’s #1 top forty WJAB - later on he founded along with fellow JAB jockBob Fuller WBLM - the blimp - and now owns WJAB FM Sports talk station in Portland

    Was there with JJ when he and “Doc” Fuller in Colo, when after the Blimp decided to talk Southern Colorado by storm with 100,000 Watt KCCY, (country-rock mix) wild format, but great FM, then traveled to Iowa to help with Original KJJY.

    Fantastic hearing him again

    I think this aircheck is from Labor Day weekend - around 9/4/71 - which would explain the Don McLean thing. Joel also plays “Peace Train” by Cat Stevens, which didn’t peak on Billboard until November 1971. Joel also mentions a “holiday weekend.”

    Whatever the date, this is classic stuff!!

    Now upon further review, it looks like early June might be right for JJ’s aircheck, since he mentions “Dad’s Day.”

    This must be an edit of two different shows - it looks like the Joel Sebastian segment is from September 1971 and JJ’s stuff is from early June 1971.

    Great hearing JJ Jeffrey again…he was so great on WFIL in Philly, where I first heard him…great delivery, great voice…a bit odd to hear him doing nights…wonder how that happened?
