As rival station WBLS began hiring away staff from that station, WRKS hired her full-time for its morning show and gave her a non-compete clause contract; at this time she started her trademark of talking about African-American celebrities by giving listeners the dirt on the celebs' personal lives.

I'm currently reading two related books at the same time: “Turn the beat around – the secret history of disco” by Peter Shapiro; “Last night a DJ saved my life – the history of the disc jockey” by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton.
