Hear National Radio Hall-of-Famer Smilin’ Jack Woods on WROK [AUDIO]

We're going back into the archives for this one.

Jack Woods is a National Radio Hall of Famer who started his career on WROK back in the early 1960s. He later would form the "Charlie & Harrigan" duo in 1962 at KLIF in Dallas. According to the HOF's website, the station owner teamed up Woods, using the name “Charlie Brown,” and Ron Chapman, a.k.a. “Irving Harrigan,” for a two-man show.

They later would work in Cleveland, San Diego and Washington, D.C., and also sold their show to more than 40 stations nationwide by utilizing pre-recorded segments specifically tailored to each market.

Woods passed away in March of this year.
