Vaughn Baskin: But not only that Jim WCHB-AM and WCHD-FM A.K.A. WJZZ would be the influence for WJLB's big move from AM 14 to the now legendary and iconic fm 98 as they would ushering in the new era of not just Black Radio, but also unleashing the CHUrban/Crossover format too as well under their new slogan "Detroit's Strongest Songs!" or "Strong Songs!" for short.

Jim Feliciano: Kim, Thank you for your kind expressive comments on Art Vuolo you recently shared with us on his behalf.. You mentioned your 50 year career in broadcasting, which in part, as you referenced, rekindled many memories of you in the broadcasting business. Anytime in the future, If you ever would like to do a 'guest essay' of your career in the business, we would be more than happy to share your memories (and in your own words) at this USARM site.  We previously have featured you at our former Motor City Radio Flashbacks website and we recalled a couple of memories of your time at WCZY FM in the 1980s, just the same. We would be so honored!  Regards, Jim Feliciano / Jim Hampton

Vaughn Baskin: And nowadays KLIF-FM is also too a News/Talk station as well Jim, so it looks like the almighty KLIF is officially no more. And FYI Jim you've misspelled on the name "Cousin Lenny".

Kim Carson: I really enjoyed this article, Jim. It's a comprehensive look at Art Vuolo's life. When I first got in the business, mid 70's, there were hardly any women at all on the air. And then slowly, but surely you could some of them creep up in his videos, he was documenting history in the making. I've enjoyed a 50 year career and reading your words brought back a lot of memories for me. Art deserves to be recognized for his contributions. Thank you for seeing that and bringing it to fruition.
