July 18, 1958 — Norfolk, Virginia.
In the back of a dusty little radio studio, a teenager named Bob Smith pressed a headphone to one ear and leaned over the spinning vinyl like it held the secrets of the universe. He wasn’t Wolfman Jack yet — not even close. He was just the station’s gofer: sweeping floors, fetching coffee, and sneaking precious moments behind the control board. But his heart beat in rhythm with the records. Every crackle, every silence between the notes — it all meant something to him. “You don’t just play music,” one of the old-timers had said. “You feel it.” Bob listened.

By the 1960s, the kid with the broom had become a legend with a growl. Wolfman Jack — all howl, grit, and wild rhythm — exploded onto the airwaves from a powerhouse Mexican station strong enough to shake the Mississippi. His voice wasn’t smooth. It was alive. He played the blues, doo-wop, gospel, rock 'n' roll — everything the mainstream tried to ignore. But Wolfman made it gospel.

He wasn’t just a DJ. He was the midnight preacher of rock, the voice in the dark, the rebel heartbeat of a restless generation.
And it all began with a teenage dream, a stack of records, and a dusty studio in Norfolk.

Soar Free and thank you for the music.
