Doowop Stop
Pennsylvania, 1957, at precisely Midnight and under a full moon, a shadowy figure breaks the flimsy lock on a "day timer" radio station transmitter room, cranks up the power to 100,000 watts and broadcasts throughout the Eastern Seaboard, Street Corner Harmony Records { later to be known as DOO WOP }. The authorities responded to the panicked calls of the public, but before they could apprehend him, the intruder slipped out the back door and into Rock and Roll History. Legend has it he left behind only a single clue….a cow bell. He remains wanted to this day. It is rumored that same voice can now be heard throughout the United States on the Nationally Syndicated COOL BOBBY B’S DOO WOP STOP.When he was only 12 years old, inspired by his idol, Alan Freed, armed with a portable record player and stack of 45 RPM records, using the name BOBBY MANN, Bob began his career by DJ-ing birthday parties and Jr. High sock hops. His classmates dubbed him "COOL" BOBBY. He continued to DJ dances, "sweet sixteen" parties, and Bar Mitzvah’s throughout High School. As a Freshman in College, he worked as a part-time D.J. at Temple University’s WRTI, then full time at WHAT for the balance of his college years. After graduation he was on the air at Philadelphia’s WRCP.
Shortly after the 1957 incident, unsure exactly when the statute of limitations expired for breaking and entering a federally licensed and operated facility, he fled to Springfield, Missouri. There, he began broadcasting at KTTS under an assumed identity. He also began a short singing career recording as the "real" Bob Steele. Now he is broadcasting to the world via Internet on Flaming Oldies.com .
