I'm sure you are too young to have even heard of the greatest DJ of all time...............Wolfman Jack...Radio 50,000 watts XERB.........
Jack is still a legend many years after his demise. Jack had the largest listening audience worldwide.

Got it on tape. The Wolfman didn't live but a few years after the movie. Incidently, it was a debut for Harrison Ford too.

Yes! Richard DRY FACE, Harrison Ford, Charles Martin Smith and even Susan Sommers was the blond chick. Great movie, really a classic.

The greatest DJ was Larry Miller of the former San Francisco radio station, KMPX FM. In 1966, FM was a very little used radio frequency band. Larry Miller started the whole rock scene on FM.
KMPX was basically a Portugese languange station. Larry Miller brought in albums of obscure artists and played them on a midnight show. The popularity grew to the point that type of music was beginning earlier and earlier until it became the format. I had to go to a hockshop to get my first FM radio for $20! Hey, those things were far and few between and costed about $100 in 1967 money (which is about 10x of today's).
What Larry Miller began took off across the nation. FM Rock became the thing! Wolfman Jack set up shop in Mexico after Larry Miller!
Tom Donahue, as station manager, gets the credit. Donahue is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Donahue, along with Bobby Mitchell, were two SF DJs who produced the last Beatles concert which was in SF. They both got fired for payolla and lost their shirts on the deal. Everyone wanted a percentage from the top!

The entire reason the Wolfman set up shop in Mexico (XERB) was the UNLIMITED wattage of the station and NO regulations. With XERB he could reach the entire U.S. This allowed him to achieve the largest audience in radio broadcasting. His audience was 100 times larger than any other DJ.

In the 60s I lived in England which had state run radio, i.e. radio 1, radio 2, etc.
John Peel was the only DJ playing anything good...not pop, but rock or underground as it was called because Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Cream etc weren't played on other shows, or making top ten singles, so 'pirate' radio stations set up in the Nth Sea on small transmitter ships, Radio Caroline, and before I left Radio Geronimo became the station to pick up the best alternative music, and American Forces Radio broadcasting from Hamburg player some good late night music, Jefferson Airplane, Fank Zappa and so on, to keep the boys morale up till they got back to the 'World' not long after that I was in a bar in an American Airbase town in Nth East Thailand, and a Thai Band were playing the same music, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin which sounded as good as the real thing, it used to be great after being in remote regions to come into one of the airbases and get southern fried chicken, pizza and burgers n beer after living on rice and noodles for months, and live rock music and bourbon and I was in heaven

The late great Larry Levan
The legendary DJ who held court at the Paradise Garage for more than 10 years.
He did 3 + 4 deck mixing long before pitch controls were built into the turntables.
Frankie Knuckles.
While Larry Levan defined the sound of dance music in New York, Frankie Knuckles did the same to house music in Chicago
