BWW Review: IN SEARCH OF MY FATHER ... WALKIN' TALKIN' BILL HAWKINS at Atlas
by Roger Catlin - Jan 27, 2018

His father, unknown to him most of his lifetime, was also a significant figure in black radio -- one of the first such DJs in the country, whose jive talking show show in Cleveland had legions of fans and likely influenced another DJ at his station, Allen Freed, in presenting the day's upbeat rhythm and blues as rock 'n' roll.
