Tune in to my radio show "The Love Zone" on WHCR 90.3FM April 9, 2004�for my interview with�the legendary
"Mr. Weldon A. McDougal III"
(Former Motown Promotions Guru)
Being one of the most important person in the�Motown promotion department
Weldon�has been in the�music industry for over�fifty years.
���
His�career began in 1959, when�he started a group called the LARKS
(he sang bass). Then some friends and him started a record label in Philly called Harthon records. BARBARA MASON, EDDIE HOLMAN,�and The�VOLCANO'S, were just some of his artist the started. In 1962�he was hired by�Motown records�as the�east cost promotion man�for the now famous record label. With the help�of Weldon, Motown enjoyed some of their most remarkable achievements. Beginning with continuous radio air play from disc jockey all over the map. Weldon was responsible for making sure artists like "THE TEMPTATIONS, THE FOUR TOPS, THE MIRACLES, THE SUPREMES, THE CONTOURS and even THE JACKSON FIVE were on time for interviews.

To put it straight if it wasn't for Weldon a lot of those artist and others may not have been as successful as they were. Even though it was his job Weldon also had the pleasure of living the dream of becoming friends to these artist.� They would often sleep over at his house whenever they were in town. He would also be the one to keep them out of harms way at time. There was so much that he contributed to there career that has gone unnoticed.

Well, now it's his time to shine. We'll be discussing his career at Motown, the juicy little tidbits that happened offstage, in the recording studios, and much more. I advise you to have your tape recorders on for this interview. It's going to a once in a lifetime event.

Hi NYC Diva, sorry for the delayed reply. Been really busy. I hope you told the OTHER crew about the interview this Friday night with the man......

I spoke to him this morning and he can't wait to get in the studio.

I truly do hope all of the posters call in and speak to him. He deserves his flowers while he's still with us. Every time we speak, he has so much information about the industry that I know the listeners are going to love hearing.
