The Butler did it!  Jerry Butler was brought in from WIXZ/McKeesport, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh.  He began entertaining New Englanders on June 21, 1969.  His last show was in October, 1970, because they needed him at KHJ/Los Angeles!

Jerry took his own life in the summer of 1976, in California.  Fortunately, The BIG 68 Museum has been able to obtain one of the very best airchecks of him. Here, Jerry pulls a weekend overnighter in October, 1969.
