Steve Powers (born February 25, 1934 in New York City) is a musician, journalist and teacher who has had a 45 year career in New York City radio and television, as well as academia.
Born in New York City, Powers attended the University of Virginia where he worked at the student radio station, WUVA. He was a member of the UVa Jazz Club, once integrating the university auditorium playing in a concert with Dizzy Gillespie, an experience he repeated thirty years later when he played another concert with Gillespie, at New York's Blue Note club. After UVa, Powers attended the City College of New York where he became editor of Roundhouse Magazine; in 1956 he received a degree in Business Administration from CCNY. In 1987 Powers earned a Ph.D. from New York University, in Neil Postman's Media Ecology program.
After graduating from CCNY in 1956, and serving as a Search and Rescue officer in the United States Coast Guard in Puerto Rico, Powers returned to the New York area and started looking for work as a jazz disc jockey. He was hired by radio station WADS, in Ansonia, Connecticut in 1961 as a newscaster. He subsequently worked as a newscaster and news director for several radio stations in Connecticut. In 1963 he anchored the coverage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy on WICC for 13 straight hours.

Let me saw through the straw for re ensure through my raw,
Raw, raw, can't you see my claws?
I'm laughing at these vermin while I kill it, ha, ha,
They blog on they blogs but I don't see it, Ray Charles,
I hate the way we live today so I'll see you tomorrow,
But if I make it, know we made it, yes I made it just for us,
Just for us, time's is rough can't afford no plane so don't miss this bus,
Miss this bus if you miss this bus, I got my seat, I won't get up,

In my town, in my circle, result, no fumble,
I can't let this chance pass, understand, I'll stay humble,
