Wolfman Jack Tribute

8.4mgs Stills and sounds of Wolfman Jack

[@blakerakeur7957]

Moved from LA in '64 600 miles north and I could get XERB at night on a little transistor radio and when they went to 100,000 watts he was getting callers from Spokane Washington! There will never be anybody like The Wolfman baby, nobody, never, nohow.

[@djtrishm]

Wolfman was the best DJ ever.Few of us can come close to be that cool!

[@ArturoSanchez-jb4li]

Use to listen to the wolfman back in 1967 when i was stationed at Beale AFB in Marysville while guarding a B-52 loaded with Nukes.

[@Zona57Bob]

Me and my 'buds' used to listen to 'The Wolfman' in the 60s-70s in LA. He used to broadcast out of Rosarita Beach just south of the Cal/Mex border. Man, those were some great times! Thanks for posting this!

[@stevenmiles]

Had me a solid state wide band radio black with leather cover which sat on my project desk in my bedroom. I found the Wolfman on late every night in southern California in the early seventies. One night some young girl called in and said I love you Wolfman and he replied back, the Wolfman loves you too darling then he dedicated a song to her. The Wolfman was different in a way that made him feel like family without ever knowing the dude. He was just so down to earth and real on the radio.

[@hhrtwo]

He was great!!! Will never be forgotten!

[@joepall323]

We all grew up with him, a radio DJ icon. We all miss you. RIP Wolfman!

[@joelshelton1190]

I was in the Navy and stationed in San Diego back in the sixties and would listen to Wolfman Jack every night.

[@denlih]

I still remember that Wolfman Jack brought me lots and lots of fun accompanying me when I was working hard on my college entrance exam in the 70s! It was Taiwan CCK American Air Force Radio! Miss you~~~~~~~

[@mccellen]

Listened to the Wolfman when I was a teenager..his radio show was on pretty late, as I recall...I def recall his "howl"...great man.

[@quiltbee]

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

we looked at him as a member of our family when i was a kid even though he was on the radio and we never did meet him in real life -- we loved him

[@charlescisney8153]

When I was a disc jockey I was named Wolf pup Chuck

[@JoelSamuelProductions]

He was a great man. I loved interviewing him back in 1989 on my TV show. He will always be remembered.

[@zman4us]

Thank you Joel

[@SWC44]

I Had the Pleasure of working with Him Twice!!!!!,, Yo are so RITE!!!! a TrueGentleman!!!!!!!!,, Never had to buy a Beer Before the Net, Smartphones,etc,, If some one could tell me His Real Name,, Luckily,, i have One Of the Last, Autobiographys,,Signed From,, Just Bob,,,, Thanks,, He was #1,,,, Jack

[@kenwiens5797]

Thank you for sharing! I loved it every time I heard him over the air waves! Good times, never to be reproduced! No one could take his place!

[@suchidog]

I was lucky enough to listen to the Wolfman in Los Angeles....I am 58 years young, and those really were the good 'ol days!! The Wolfman is never gone as long as you keep him in your heart! Everything Wolfman did was great, but when we were cruising the Blvd on .23 cent a gallon gasoline, the prank calls he made live on the air were the best! Friday and Saturday nights have never been the same!

[@marioterra1905]

Wolfman Jack forever! I would spend hous and hours listening on an old radio until the batteries ran out.

[@sandicue8]

Great sounds back than..it's a joy to know we have this still around to hear..LOL I love the wolfman

[@mtown671]

Wolfman was a unique and loving man. His style was of his own and never copied. He died way to soon. But his legacy lives. RIP Wolfman, you are very missed.

[@colleenross1569]

found this by accident. gotta love the Internet. wolf man was the best.

[@frankpryor8308]

Totally awesome, looked forward to Friday and Saturday nights cruising 1st and 2nd St in San Jose with the Wolfman...the 60's and 70's...The Big X over Los Angeles. Yeah we got him in the Bay Area. He made radio real, entertaining like no other! Wish he was still around, the Wolfman added to life with ❤ and joy and happier..

[@robroiboi]

I WAS there, and believe me, he was TRULY one of a kind. Even until this day, I still miss THE WOLFMAN!

[@dburch7894]

Singing along in 2018. RIP Wolfman.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

😃

[@waikikiwonder2505]

Back in the 80's The Wolfman kept us truckers alive at night as we followed the white line across the nation. His signal was booming across the USA from down in Mexico. Thanks to the Wolfman for the great sounds and memories.

[@classickruzer1]

I had heard that no one would hire him as a D J because his voice was too raspy. So he bought an old radio station out in the boonies in Mexico for a few dollars. It was so far off the beaten path that you needed a jeep to get to it. He got it fired up and the signal could reach Southern CA and Southern Arizona. After a few months or so of broadcasting, the folks in those areas began grooving on him. That got him a job in L A. Don't know how much of that is true, but it is intriguing. I miss his voice. Love his -- ALRIGHT ALRIGHT IT''s the WOLFMAN coming at you baby.. OUUUUUUUUH ..

[@elricm13]

Love the wolfman! great memories

[@zman4us]

Born and raised in Los Angeles, served in the army 66-68, he was part of our lives. Thank you so much for taking the time to express yourself to him and I. Gene

[@dbergum1]

One Bad Ass Dude...Loved his show...RIP My Brother...

[@SWC44]

Wildman Can say That AGAIN,, I worked with Him, when i was 16,, and Im a Antique,,, But Never EVER,, Find a More down to earth GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jack,,,,

[@suchidog]

Hey Wolfman....the "Dog" misses you man....you left us 20 years ago this month, and these last twenty years have been a drag without ya man!....thanks for all of the great Friday and Saturday nights on the mighty 1090 XERB....just cruising Whittier Blvd in SoCal....on 24 cents per gallon gas....thanks for all of laughs and memories....may God keep you resting in Peace....

[@donclickrover]

I am way to young (23) to have had the pleasure of listening to him on the radio. I love what I would call "good music" and I wish I could have heard this man live. The voice of the "good music."

[@kimdkus]

Whaaaa!!!! I miss the wolfman!!! I can remember when I was a kid, I could get his show on the radio, but i'd have to keep the sound down, down, down so my mom would hear. Back then the Wolfman was a parent's nightmare and would destroy me. I miss him!!!! :(((((

[@koolbossjock]

You got that right brother.I was working i WPBR Fla and was lucky to have wolfman sit in with me,he was at our remote the night before and the first thing he said to me was,Bossjock I was listening to you last night,you need to get your ass out to L A.WOW!!He was so kind and great to work with.There is no Radio anymore with no thanks to the FCC and Cheapchannel(clearchannel) and fking computers.RIP Wolfman and thank you for the good times and the kind words. Rock and Roll will stand man.

[@koolbossjock]

You got that right brother.I was working i WPB Fla and was lucky to have wolfman sit in with me,he was at our remote the night before and the first thing he said to me was,Bossjock I was listening to you last night,you need to get your ass out to L A.WOW!!He was so kind and great to work with.There is no Radio anymore with no thanks to the FCC and Cheapchannel(clearchannel) and fking computers.RIP Wolfman and thank you for the good times and the kind words.

[@gerrybou]

He was on both XERB and XERF and various other stations... when he syndicated he was on over 2000 stations, europe, and armed forces radio... so you are both right.... there is a clip of him on XERF on youtube....

[@Taharah007]

I had just moved to NYC in the late 60's. I was so homesick, one cannot imagine, coming from TUCSON AZ...Then, one night, I happened to be scanning for stations and LO and BEHOLD, there was my WOLF MAN out of Laredo Texas!!!! I cried and fell asleep....in peace...I WAS HOME! Good night dear Wolf...We'll never ever forget you!!!

[@Grober7]

my dad said back in the bad old days you could ( on a good night ) hear The Wolfman at least as far north as his little AM box in Montreal. A lot of people complain about the music nowadays, but the only difference is in those days the good music was on the radio. Now you gotta search for it.

[@Thegoldandsilver1]

I used to listen to Wolfman Jack deep in the heart of Northern Arizona in the late 60s, those memories are the greatest!!

[@maryjaneadkisson]

I grew up in the 70's. Not allowed to listen to anything but AM country. I would slip my little transistor under my pillow & fall asleep to Wolf Man in Chicago. Wake up in wee hours & hide it. Wolf Man will always be my idol of 70's rock. RIP

[@andrewcrawfor1381]

as a little kid growing up on the weekends instid of being glued to the tv i was glued to my old beat up am radio listing to the wolfman on friday and saturday nites listined to him till the day he died he will be missed

[@Jansku99]

Greatest DJ of all time, past and future...

[@marcusrios9417]

There will never be another wolf man jack

[@mistabassman1]

He was the best of all at AFN Frankfurt. I used to record the Wolfman Jack Show as I was a boy - only five years old! I didn´t understand the language, BUT ... the music of his voice!

[@trblemkr1d106]

He was the host of our 76' Derby Eve Jam in Louisville Kentucky . If I remember right the bands were Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and The Atlanta Rhythm Section .

[@riverredartstudio]

You are so Right On..!!...It was when I really first heard the Wolfman howl...loved the music...the fun times..!! I miss it all....and especially the Wolfman..!!

[@bloctontodd]

Wolfman, I watched you last night on Grafitti, and am looking over my computer at two pics of you on the wall, one with my ex-stepfather and friend, Rabbit and one with my Aunt Sandra, her husband Marty and her friend Susan, taken at a benefit hosted by the Magic City Boppers in Birmingham, Alabama. You were one of a kind. Thanks for the entertainment. I know everyone in heaven is thrilled to hear your howl! Love ya! Tell Sandra Hello! TJ

[@dipsetphatty]

Wow that brings back memories of when my dad would take us out in our 1976 buick lesabre for Sunday drives ..... Those were the good ol days.....

[@officergarrett]

R.I.P wolfman Jack

[@peschwab4]

I actually forgot all about this guy till I ran across this tribute to him on KZbin! Oh the memories. Makes me fall in love with life and real music all over again. Enjoy everyone!

[@unclewalt56]

My nephew & I visited his estate in Belvedere, NC about 3 days after his death and must have sat there reminiscing for over an hour before finally leaving. ROCK ON WOLFMAN . . .

[@44skins]

Dam straight we miss the Wolfman BIG TIME! Fact is,....as time goes by,.....we miss him bigger and bigger!

[@upyourz69]

Used to hear the wolfie on xerb in los angeles and then the art laboe show at midnight

[@brawyn777]

i grew up listening to the wolfman,he was so kool,the best ever,i miss this old guy!

[@imjustpassinthru]

When I was living in San Diego around 1964 or '65, Wolfman was broadcasting on XERB, an AM station in Mexico somewhere around Tijauna. k. He was the most unusual thing on late evening radio in those days. No one having ever seen him, we all figured he was a black guy. Too much soul for a white guy.

[@dburch7894]

imjustpassinthru Los Angeles listener. 15 back then.

[@chiefslady66]

he ruled the 70's and was the greatest dj ever!

[@DRBWOODY]

Fantastic collage of the Wolfman doing what he did best! Thanks!

[@john111257]

this is radio,AS IT SHOULD BE

[@kenwiens5797]

Amen!

[@bailinnumberguy]

Wanna sound like Wolfman? Smoke 5 packs of cigarettes a day starting at age 7, drink a bottle of bourbon every day starting at 8, gargle w/ lemon juice 5 times a day and eat a lot of popsicles. That'll get you on your way.

[@larrysproul9424]

Wolfman Jack lives on because of the great folks and fans .

[@susiem44]

Forever I will love Wolfman Jack!

[@HideFromMaster]

clap for the wolfman rest in peace

[@suchidog]

Amen! Can't get enough of the Wolfman!

[@中川貞夫-d8e]

Wolf man is the great！

[@borjastick]

The guy was a total star! He really understood radio and how to create atmosphere, plus he could connect with the listener almost one to one. Brilliant.

[@GeneralZodFDNY77]

Man, I loved Wolfman Jack. Hearing his voice took me back to the late 70's watching "The Midnight Special" as a kid. all the great ones are gone, either dying or being taken off the air for these cornballs we have today: Scott Muni, Cousin Brucie (and the entire old WCBS-FM staff before the Jack-FM debacle), and the best of the best, the Wolfman. RIP, and rock on!!!!

[@choclochonclo]

Sure is a sadder world with out the Wolf man .

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

😢

[@ratfink74]

I Love and miss this old guy!!

[@Kilty1000]

omg I used to listen to him in Monteal in the 50's too!

[@22ago]

I used to listen him on SCN Radio Canal Zone Panama.

[@CanisLupus123]

Robert Weston Smith "Wolfman Jack" January / 21 / 1938 - July / 1 / 1995 Rest In Peace

[@rjb073]

Every now and then there comes along that special person that cannot be imitated or copied. Wolfman was a very unique person in that he spoke to us kids like we meant something to society and a time when kids were only to be heard when spoken to. He never judged anyone and never inflamed anyone's persoanl beliefs or dreams. Just wanted to "live and let live." Enjoy your youth. You only get one shot at it.

[@DexterHaven]

Wolfman between songs on the radio: "I told my mother I don't like having big clumps of hair on my back. She said, "That's tufts." "

[@zman4us]

according to a free translation service, from French to English it means,,,Genial wolfman!! thank you for your emissions on europe1 in france in 1981!! that of voucher to remember!!! farewell the friend coordinator radio it + big of all the times! !!!

[@jason75]

GeneralZodFDNY77 Kneel to ZOD!!! bow to ZOD! who is this imbolsile!!!! who is this SUPERMAN!!! I'm remember watching Superman in 78. I also watched mid night special as a kid in the 70's I was howling!!!! I was born 69

[@DangerousDan77777]

A grown man could cry thinking about the way things were, search: the politics of heroin at fox teleivision.

[@jukingeo]

LOL, Ditto here. It was a long time ago when I first saw American Graffiti and it came on TCM and I recorded it on my DVR. After watching it, I started to do some research on the backbone behind the movie and it's music, and that is the late, great Wolfman Jack. Right now I am trying to track down some of his recorded material to listen to.

[@1120tboneballa]

My father has told me stories of Wolfman Jack, and said that he has talked to him on the radio before. He was in Gadsden Alabama in about September or October of 1973. They called him Kentucky. My dad said that he saw a "flying saucer" and he told Wolfman Jack about it. I would loovvvveeee to hear that, but can't find it. :(

[@SteveStalzle]

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby. Today's Radio is so crappy, corporate and pre programmed and homogenized, and the Wolfman was a true original. RIP.

[@TheOldcardave]

Wow! just found out the Wolfman was born four days ahead of me. He in New York, and I in the San Fernando Valley, Calif. Listened to him on KRLA. Great DJ's of the day were also,Dick Hug, Art LaBoe, Hunter Hancock, and Dick Hanes. Yes those were the days, Cruising and playing the radio.

[@lbj46]

the mighty 1090 ,xerb 50 thousand watts of soul power baby, put a bar in your car and drive yourself to drink, man i loved the wolf growin' up in cal. if you love the wolfman get a copy of the book "border radio" it is a great read on bob jones career...

[@TH4TC00LK1D]

I was telling my grandaughters boy friend about The Wolfman and how he wouldsay Hey baby are you naked tonight ,are you naked He doesn't believe me that he could say that on the radio. Does anyone have a track that he can listen to?

[@skinnyblinddude]

May I use the words 'cool' and 'lovely' in the same sentence? I hope so, cause that's what this tribute to the Wolfman is! I used to listen to XERB at the California School for the Blind in Berkeley back in the 60s. That was sure a fun time!

[@misledwolf]

If love the wolfman as I do and are on Face book twitter or any of these sites. Lets give him a memorial tribute post July 1st to honor 1 of the greatest dj's of all times ;~)> xx aka MisledWolf Rest in Peace Wolfman ;~)>

[@fessy4]

I just read on a website called the vault wiki wich is a wiki on the computer game fallout three and it said that the radio host on the game was based of this guy and you can see a resemblance in them i think, how cool!

[@Farrah300]

His last words reportedly were "Its so good to be home". After that, he suffered a heart attack and died in his wife's arms, if I'm not mistaken. Rest in peace Wolfman/

[@dragonflygurl4u]

And he used to ask "Are your little peaches sweet"? and the girls would get all flustered and then he'd yell Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye. In that voice that only Wolfman had. I miss him.

[@HoboGus]

I listened to Wolfman when he was on the 50,000 watt XERB station in Tijuana, Mexico on my car radio in 1969 when I was 19 and was cruzing main st. in Medford Oregon on Saturday nights.

[@misledwolf]

If love the wolfman as I do and are on Face book twitter or any of these sites. Lets give him a memorial tribute post July 1st to honor 1 of the greatest dj's of all times ;~)> xx

[@edwardprice140]

He made you want a space between every song on the radio.

[@mip0]

@Grober7 hmm, ha. I wish I would check to see if that's true, find some facts to back it up with. I'd be a great thing to say if one could say it knowing it's true.

[@dhernandsd]

i grew up in the 60s i love love the wolf man very much i dont know anyone who doesnt all races we didnt have any differances when it came to music

[@msolupi]

I remember when my brother would turn on the radio and Wolfman Jack was on, I was a little girl back then...but yea everyone liked listening to Wolfman.

[@G0IFI]

People in Europe can hear replays of Wolfman Jack's shows weekday evenings on 1398 AM, from Dutch station Big L. I think it's 9 pm UTC.

[@suvmama]

They certainly don't make DJ's like him anymore!! I'm a bit too young to have heard him on the radio, but I did hear him in later years.

[@guywholovesmovies]

its amazing what the world will do just to get off these days. they will completley knock out a huge corporation out of the competition

[@guywholovesmovies]

ur right its just that i had a bet with a friend about this its a long ass story, and i know it sounds stupid, but now i know so thank you

[@1863year]

Using this opportunity this date - to wish the Wolfman Happy Birthday.....the music died a little bit when he left us...........

[@ir10031981]

today is the 16th anniversary of the death of the great late Wolfman Jack. RIP brother, 1938-1995.

[@TheHoodog]

When I was in the Army over seas I always back at the barracks cause Wolf Man Jack was on AFN, nevermiss the broad cast.
