Jerry G Bishop was popular DJ in Chicago at WCFL. He also hosted movies on channel 32, where he was known as Svengoolie. Until format change he was on KPOP, out of San Diego until market forces forced change from great Adult Standards format.

Correct!
Jerry G Bishop also worked in Cleveland and interviewed the Beatles before he came back to Chicago (his original home) on WCFL in 1967.
Also, Jerry was heard again in Chicago on WRLL from 2003--to 2006.
 
Here we go getting off-topic again: Who began a radio career first, Jerry G. Bishop or Jerry Bishop? Jerry Bishop did afternoons at WDRC-Hartford in the early 1960s, then worked at KLAC-Los Angeles in the mid-60s, KFMB-San Diego from 1969 to 1974, then back to Los Angeles at KKDJ, KIIS and KGIL. He is also the voice of the Disney Channel (right now promoting all the programs and "Fa-la-la-la-days"). Did Jerry G. start using his middle initial to avoid confusion with the other Jerry? Or did he use it before there was another Jerry?

To continue off topic (sorry) Jerry G Bishop's real name is Jerry Gahn. He started in radio in Evanston, Illinois in 1961. When he went to Washington & then Cleveland he was known on the air as "Jerry G". When he was hired to come back home to Chicago's WCFL, PD Ken Draper said he should have a last name. He and his wife were looking through the Cleveland phone book & chose "Bishop" as his last name.

If they'd started at the back of the phone book and worked forward, could he have wound up as Jerry G. Whiz?

Yes, they took "sin" out of the song for Elvis.

That was the "colonel's" doing. But I believe that Elvis had also previously had a "one night of sin" version out there. My wife is a big Elvis fan. She would know. I will have to ask her.
