A MOTOWN SNAPSHOT FLASHBACK! BARRETT STRONG
DJ DON MCLEOD QUITS; WJBK MIRED IN 1959 PAYOLA
WJBK-AM (DETROIT)
Don McLeod, a popular nighttime Detroit radio personality, was the third disk jockey to leave WJBK behind Tom Clay and Dale Young. Tom Clay was fired. Dale Young abruptly resigned. McLeod left the station on Monday, November 23, 1959. Reportedly, all three were alleged having been involved taking gifts, accepting “cash-for-play,” known in the industry as payola, while at the Storer Broadcasting station that year.
