Don Cox on CKLW

[Super Jock]

Hello, do any longtime Detroit radio listeners remember Don Cox, who worked at CKLW in 1971, under the name of Don O'Brien? I heard him on an old compilation aircheck of Detroit area radio stations from 1971. I found out recently about him-- that he spent most of his career in the Miami, Fl. market and that he passed away in 2005. Also, I heard him on an old aircheck when he worked at WQXI in Atlanta. It was the same person.

Cox worked for awhile in Chicago at WEFM in the late 70s. He billed himself as "Cox on the radio"
