STEVEN ALLEN SCOTT

[warm590]

I need a sanity check (!!!).....I remember a DJ on WARM who used to say that singer Linda Scott was his sister, this would have been 1962,1963 time frame...I'm thinking that it was Steven Allen Scott, but from what you guys tell me, Steven was on the mighty 590 in the late 60's/ early 70's...can anybody shed any light on this??

BTW, I was in town a few weeks ago for the Knox disaster commemoration and tuned in 590.....lame and a disgrace to the once Mighty 590. Did enjoy the polka show though saturday afternoon


longing for the good old days

Scott was only his on air name. He also went by the name of Steve "Boom Boom" Cannon at WSBA and other stations, by double G didn't care for that name and made him change it. I believe his real name was something like Cohen. He worked at WARM for a short time in the late 1960s, first doing the all night show and then mid days. During that time al of the jocks had theme songs to open and close their shows. He sued a song by Herb Alpert called "Slick." He was a great talent and had used such things as saying "We're broadcasting to the rice patties of Olyphant and "Hiya Hiya, this is Steven Allen Scott electronic radio program." Don't know what happened to him after WARM.

From the SRO album on A&M Records. Scott Arthur had a Henry Mancini song, can't remember the name but it was upbeat. Harry used to close with a ragtime version from "Those Magnificent Men In their Flying Machines", and Tommy Woods had a customer made Hullabahoo opening. Before that he had a big band song, "Stompin' At the Savoy", Shaver had that great Whispers tune, "Here Comes Joey" derived from their hit, "Here Comes Summer" and he always ended the night show with Jesse Belvin's "Goodnight My Love'. Gilbert had something customized by the Lettermen at the end of his show, "And Now It's Over, We hoped You liked our show owwe, it's over......." those were the lyrics. Ron Allen used to open and this was in the early 60s with Steve Allen's "This Could Be The Start of Something Big".

God, what memories with jocks having to have a theme song. At one time, it was mandatory; not dictated by management, mind you, just something any self-respecting jock just had to have. I had several over the years, but the practice did eventually become passe and most everyone just stopped using them. Oh, and while we're at it, how about jocks having a clever and memorable saying at the end of their show? Those were also must-haves, you just had to have some(generally corny, but you thought profound) words to end the show, like people had sat riveted to the radio for your entire shift just waiting to hear them. My all time fave(used by many, but not me)was that line about how it takes more muscles to frown than smile, so keep on smiling. GAKKKK. Every market in the country had at least one jock who used that groaner. Harry's of course, was the big overdone, "And good-bye, OUT THERE." Always over that music Yonk mentioned, and back-timed to end hard right into the legal ID then news...
