WLS 89 Chicago - Yvonne Daniels - November 15 1979

It was probably the most popular radio station in the midwest. 89 WLS Chicago.

It was ABC’s Top 40 powerhouse from the 1960s into the 1980s.

The names of the DJs who worked at WLS is a list of the best of the best in the radio business... Larry Lujack, Tommy Edwards, Bob Sirott, Fred Winston, Joel Sebastian, Chuck Napp, Art Roberts, Dick Biondi, John Records Landecker, Chuck Buell... and I could go on & on.

This aircheck features one of the few females & African Americans on WLS, the legendary Yvonne Daniels. In 1973, she was the first female air personality hired by WLS. Yvonne worked at several stations including WYNR, WCFL during it's jazz days and WSDM-FM, before getting the call to come to The Rock of Chicago.

On air, Yvonne was tight, brief, & lively, and could definitely compete with the boys.

She was heard by listeners across the country, as she held down the overnight shift for nearly eight years, before she moved across town to WVON, WGCI and later WNUA.

Sadly, Yvonne Daniels passed on in 1991 at 54 years old.

This aircheck features Yvonne Daniels on WLS from 1979.

After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.

You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.

We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!

We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook:   / ellisairchecks
