Īlso he had parts in the anthology Destination Freedom, a series written by Richard Durham, dedicated to the retelling the lives of notable Negros in the Americas. In publicity stills, Gibson was pictured straddling a microphone and turntable in jockey silk outfits, and he gained a following playing to a Black audience. When Jack Gibson came to work for him at WJJD a bell rang, and thus was born the idea of Black appeal radio. His bond with the Black migrants to northern cities was from his ‘mushmouth,’ as the first Black radio ‘personality jock.’ He was the first to play hit urban blues records on air, and with success at selling airtime, the station became immensely popular. He came to this by way of his previous employment with the Works Progress Administration as an interviewer. He was the first DJ to speak with a Black southern accent, and frequently used ‘street slang’. His phenomenal appeal was due to the Black jive talk he peppered between songs. He rapidly rose to fame in Chicago, Illinois playing swing and Be-Bop jazz. īenson, the ‘Old Swingmaster’ (born Arthur Bernard Leaner in 1920 in Jackson, Mississippi) as he was known, had come to radio in 1943 as a pastor, but was prohibited from selling airtime, so he switched to become a secular DJ, and mentored some of the Black DJ’s at WGES and WJJD. Gibson began his career in radio under the wing of Al Benson, one of radio’s legends, a jive-patter-talking disc jockey (DJ) of the Be-Bop school at Chicago’s WJJD. In 1989, he was inducted into the Black Radio Hall of Fame. He is listed in the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. To his peers in radio his nickname was “Jockey Jack,” and he achieved renown for his annual Black radio convention, where he was known as Jack the Rapper, for an all-inclusive Black/urban music showcase and convention. He is regarded as the father of the Black appeal radio format. He attended Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri from 1940 to 1942, earning a bachelor's degree in science.
