Kent's record
  1. I would love to do a national TV talk and variety show showcasing a lot of the R&B artists that I have promoted down through the years. I would like to also inspire the youngsters coming along to get into radio, and I am just delighted to be in the Guinness Book.

  2. It is stupefying, as well as validation and vindication against my college broadcast professor, who told me when I was a straight-A student at Northwestern in the 1940s that even though I was the best student in his class, I'd never make it in radio because I am a negro.

  3. It was so unbelievable, and I have had a love affair with radio since I was 6 years old. And even then I would listen to the blues station, especially a show called 'Red Hot and Lowdown.' And I am still madly in love with radio today.
