Special thanks to Pat, Jay, Tracy and all the Fisher family for allowing us to be a part of the celebration of Life for Joe Fisher, and Thanks to Jimmie Bohorne for bringing so many of Joe’s staff members and friends together.  

       If you lived in South Florida during the Late 60’s, you probably woke up listening to the radio as you dressed for work, or while the children were getting ready for school. When you got into your car, more than likely, the radio was turned to 1470 AM at the station we called our station, WRBD Rockin’ Big Daddy Radio. As the early 70’s rolled in, we were moving and grooving to the best in R&B and Gospel music, starting off in morning drive with Joe Fisher. He took us through the traffic jams and the weather reports, the school lunch menus and the news of the day. His deep and powerful voice kept us in the know as he became more than a Deejay.
