Dewey Phillips

About the artist

"Daddy-O" Dewey Phillips (May 13, 1926 - September 28, 1968) was one of rock 'n' roll's pioneering disk jockeys, along the lines of Cleveland's Alan Freed, before Alan Freed. Starting his radio career in 1949 on WHBQ-AM in Memphis, he was the city's leading radio personality for nine years and was the first to simulcast his "Red, Hot & Blue" show on radio and television. Phillips' on-air persona was a speed-crazed hillbilly, with a frantic delivery and entertaining sense of humor.
