mckee. bar none. he inspired most of the other guys on the list.
Peach the Gospel HARD brother. This only reason this is even being talked about is that most of you aren't old enough to remember McKee is his heyday. Plus McKee has all the awards to back it up!

From my perspective, it's Gary McKee, all the way.

I remember when Gary McKee replaced the Greaseman on Z93. He was definitely past his prime, but still pretty darn good! |

I've got to agree on McKee....
When I first started working at 94Q, He was just plain GREAT, but still had the fire to get better....He worked with the PD every day to do just that, and really didn't have to.
He had all the money he would ever need, and every accolade in the inventory at the time, but wasn't within a thousand miles of complacency.
What a PRO.

One of the best AM guys who did not make was Russ Sponner at WSB. I do not know what happened in Atlanta, but he was LOL funny on WMAK in Nashville.

Red Jones actually still does mornings at WKNG AM 1060 in Tallapoosa. The station now streams 24/7 at wkng.com. |
