Tribute to the OKC DJs of the 1960s

I still remember those days—being in high school, heading to the State Fair of Oklahoma with a group of friends. As soon as we arrived, everyone scattered: some ran straight for the Midway, but I had only one destination in mind.

I made my way to the WKY mobile studio, where radio and TV legend Danny Williams was on the air. The moment he spun those records, the whole crowd came alive. We danced right there in the open air, carried by the music and the magic only Danny could create.

Every so often he’d step outside during a break, smiling, shaking hands, and handing out records. And if you were lucky, he’d place one in your hands—signed, a little treasure from a man who shaped the soundtrack of our youth.

Thank you, Danny Williams, and all the DJs of 1960s Oklahoma City, for filling our lives with music, excitement, and memories that still shine.
