Call yourself a "DJ".....Nickie Lee certainly was

[Blackpoolsoul]

I was doing some research on Nickie lee who also recorded as Leroy and found this info which made me smile

Nickie Lee was originally (before he started singing) a DJ in Miami, Florida for WAME and claimed in 1963 to be the world's champion DJ, having done a continuous broadcast (despite medical advice to stop) for 226 hours (nine days, 10 hours) 
The previous record was held by David Hunt, Jacksonville, who went on for 225 hours, in 1959

Nickie Lee was already with WAME in 1963 ... each week the WAME DJ's would pick their choice of the week's releases to plug (he picks 45's by Jimmy Holiday & George Freeman below).

ALSO reggae was always popular in Miami; Nickie Lee cut a cover of a Prince Buster song ahead of "Black Is Beautiful".
