Strangely, I couldn’t find much about the case online, and the most extensive piece I found referred to her as “his adulterous wife”. I don’t know what either he or she did in their private lives, but neither deserved to give up their lives for it. He ended that young woman’s life, and it seems to have been shrugged off by judicial and media powers. Ken, why did you not address this in your tribute?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-75887254894120486942019-06-07T11:38:41.304-07:002019-06-07T11:38:41.304-07:00"Figuring out him personally for over 50 year..."Figuring out him personally for over 50 years, he was a sort mild soul, captivated with his music who lived to “unfold love” on the radio"<br /><br />How sweet. The "mild soul" who "lived to 'unfold love' on the radio" murdered his wife in 1971. Her life ended at age 35. <br /><br />Is there a reason why, though you've known Harv for 50 years, you did not mention that fact that he was a convicted murderer?azbadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110497064389817129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-40404458752852383542019-06-07T06:17:54.611-07:002019-06-07T06:17:54.611-07:00The L.A.

I don't know how many more of these memorial blogs I can take. As I get older more and more people from my past are dying. It reminds me of my own mortality.<br />R.I.P.

Technically, I have given a tribute to him, by way of another man, every show that I do.<br /><br />I have an oldies show here: https://www.rockinradio.com/ called "The Electro-Phonic Sound of Brian Phillips"(thirteen years and counting!) and every show, I plug the other DJ's on the site. When Adam J. DeMarais was the newsreader at KRLA, he'd read the news and toss it back to Humble Harve the same way, "And now here's MUCH more music with the Burner HUMBLE Harve on KRLA!" When I do my intro of the other DJ's I introduce Randy Tivens' show (a great one, by the way) by saying, "Listen to the RLT Archives Music Magazine with the Boss-man ROCKIN' Randy Tivens!" with the same cadence that DeMarais used.<br /><br />Thank you Humble Harve for making my time in L.A. memorable.<br />Brian Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485075283223444305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-55774469371967318982019-06-05T06:34:45.089-07:002019-06-05T06:34:45.089-07:00By the way, Ken, Harve is a character in the new Q...By the way, Ken, Harve is a character in the new Quentin Tarantino film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", set in 1969. He's played by actor Rage Stewart. Tarantino's research people contacted me about a year and a half ago in search of high-quality unscoped KHJ airchecks from that time.

Great DJs like Hy "Hyski" Lit, Joe "the Rockin' Bird" Niagara, John "Records" Landecker, Bill Wright Sr., and Frank X. Feller were part of the Wibbage Good Guys. At the other end of the radio dial WFIL (560 AM) -- Famous 56 -- battled it out with WIBG during the mid-to-late 1960s for the moniker of top rock station in Philly with Boss Jocks "Long John" Wade, Dick Heatherton (brother of singer/dancer Joey), Jim Nettleton, Jim O'Brien (who became a popular Philly TV weatherman and was father of Frasier actress Peri Gilpin), "King" George Michael (who became a longtime Washington, DC, TV sports anchor and host of the syndicated "George Michael Sports Machine" highlight show on Sunday nights), Dr. Don Rose, and "Tiny" Tom Tyler, among others. Until album-oriented FM radio took root in the late 60s and early 70s, it was a great time to listen to radio and the big personalities who spun the records and were out and about in the Philly area hosting record hops.MikeKPa.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-70743732510783996732019-06-04T18:26:52.940-07:002019-06-04T18:26:52.940-07:00A beautiful quick remembrance, Ken.

No one was hipper, or badder.<br />Harve's station assignments, which date back to the late 50's, were as follows:<br />WIBG/AM<br />WHAT/FM<br />WHAT/AM<br />WMID/AM<br />WFIL/AM<br />WAAT/AM<br />KBLA/AM<br />KHJ/AM<br />KRLA/AM<br />KKDJ/FM<br />KIIS/FM<br />KUTE/FM<br />KRTH/FM<br />KIQQ/FM<br />KZLA/FM<br />KCBS/FM<br />KVI/AM<br />KISS/AM<br />KIEV/AM<br />Also Harve did many years work for AFRTS, as well as Westwood One.Timmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572040880471629009noreply@blogger.com
