Tom Dooley

I was fortunate to work with Tom Dooley during 1976 and 77 at 15Q Knoxville. It was strange, because some days he'd be brother tom dooley and other days he'd be george patrick dooley on the air. he was charged with bringing 15Q from an unbelievable CHR to a mellow soft ac..."someone to turn to. wkvq" complete with NBC news at the top of the hour and no mic in the control room. i didn't know it at the time, but others have said the owners just ran out of money. there were sure good people at 19th and white.

brother tom died last tuesday, nov 9, in dallas.

i'm sure a lot of you already knew, but i just found out yesterday.

i had no heard of Dooley's passing but he was a super talent in radio's heyday (which I deem to be late 50s to mid 70s). I used to listen to him o WSAI in Cincinnati. The great "motormouth" jocks are gone. First, jack Armstrong, then Tom.
