In 1968, Kaye Fullylove was bitten by the Radio bug and it was during that time she decided that her forte would be a Disc Jockey on the Radio.
In 1969/early 1970's, a new Radio Station called "Soul Sockin' 73" made its debut on the airwaves in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex ushering in a new sound for Radio in the D/FW area. Three Radio Legends, "Super" Chuck Smith, the late Tony Price Ogburn and Bill Mack were the ones Kaye emulated. But "A Certain Person" was missing from the Radio lineup. And that "Certain Person" was the Black Female Disc Jockey whose voice and time had not arrived, yet. The Black Female Disc Jockey in Dallas, Texas made her Radio debut in 1975. More...Kaye Fullylove Her name was Sherry Jones, she was the "First" Black Female Disc Jockey to grace the airwaves in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. She was followed by Pam Dent (1975), Kaye Fullylove (1976) and H.F. Stone (1977) and together these four ladies represented Dallas/Ft. Worth's Black Female Charter Radio Figures (as Disc Jockeys) during 1975-1977. In 1976, Kaye Fullylove's Radio career as a Disc Jockey on K104-FM began only after her journey had taken her through the Nightclubs of Dallas (making her debut during the summer of 1976 at the Club Watergate, the Disco Lady and Playmaker Plaza just to name a few). She is acknowledged and respected by her male Club Disc Jockey peers Dwayne "Sweet D" Banks and Johnny "Mr. Understanding" Haggerty as being "the" First Black female Disc Jockey in the Nightclubs in Dallas, Texas. The fall of 1978, Kaye would land another position as a Disc Jockey at (then) Radio Station XHRM-FM 92* (star) 5 in San Diego, California via Tijuana, Mexico. In the spring of 1979, Kaye and her Radio Colleague Louise Foster were invited aboard the USS Ranger Navy Ship and asked by the Program Director "Brother Brad" Bradford to pre-record Radio Shows on their Radio Station (Armed Forces Radio) for later overseas voyages. The two ladies accepted the invitation and became the First Black Female Disc Jockeys to broadcast aboard a Navy Ship on the Radio from San Diego, California. These two ladies also represent San Diego's Black Female Charter Radio Figures (as Disc Jockeys) during 1978 and 1979. After being detached from radio for almost 20 years, Kaye would return to the #1 Radio Station of her dreams in 1998 on "Soul 73' KKDA-AM". To her surprise her First Radio Mentor "Super" Chuck Smith was still there after all those years and he hired her, not once, but twice. She spent almost 14 wonderful years every weekend doing what she loved the best and that was being a Radio Personality where she reconnected with her former K104-FM audience and bonded with her new "Soul 73' KKDA-AM" listening audience as well. The radio station is now defunct. She also enjoys working behind the scenes at BPEN-TV (Black Premier Entertainment Network-TV) KWDA-LD Channel 30.8, Digital TV in Dallas, Texas working with the owner Vertron T. Lowe and the next generation of newcomers to help keep Legacies alive and establish new Legacies as well. She is also creating her own documentaries on various music legends she feels whose contributions have been major Trail Blazing accomplishments, but are rarely mentioned by the mainstream media or mentioned at all. Kaye is proud to be a part of the Soul Express Radio Family and honored to finally be working with her Big Brother and Mentor-Captain LaMet Wilson. |
