Yes my heart is heavy on the death of HERB KENT. My former boss, former co worker at WVON/WGCI, client, mentor, and friend of over 40 years which all started when he chose me as one of his Teen-DJ's from the old WVON-AM and he and the late Richard Pegue let us teen dj's run with the legendary 'WVON GOOD GUYS' and more through the years. Their stamp of approval helped make us some of the most popular Teen DJ's across Chicago!! I carried his records to the parties until he then chose me to start DJ'ing many of his teen parties in the city! Not to mention all the parties we and others did together at the clubs and halls. Of course I have over 40 years of personal and professional stories and great memories. 
 
But certainly one of my most PRECIOUS MEMORIES are here in this historic photo and others when Herb came to my offices in June 2016 at National Black Wall Street Chicago as our featured guest and received our LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD for National Black Music Month here at our headquarters in The historic Bronzeville where he grew up and was its Honorary Mayor!! How fitting indeed! Glad and humbled to be an ongoing part of the HERB KENT legacy!!
