During its halcyon days dominating the Northeastern Oklahoma radio market, KAKC-AM gave the world several memorable disk-jockeys—it was the era of personality DJs and Top 40 radio: Happy Harry Wilson. Roger Rocka. Dick Schmitz. But the most memorable of all to Tulsa-area teens was: George Basil Seagraves III.
With a name like that (and coming from a family of lawyers), he was destined to become one himself—but at the age of nineteen, while a sophomore at the University of Tulsa, he started on the overnight shift on KAKC six nights a week with the name Scooter Seagraves. His fast-paced patter, upbeat personality, and sharp wit endeared him to Tulsa teens and he would go on to a successful career with stops at stations in Memphis, New Orleans, San Bernardino, and Lafayette, Louisiana.
For Scooter, it started with that mid-night shift in September of 1959 on the top floor of the American Airlines Building, 910 S. Boston Avenue, in Tulsa, with 45 rpm records on twin turntables.
Today, though retired from radio, Scooter B. rocks on. Listen to Scooter tell his story on the oral history website and podcast VoicesOfOklahoma.com.
