John R. (born John Richbourg, August 20, 1910, Manning, South Carolina; died February 15, 1986, Nashville, Tennessee) was an American radio disc jockey who attained fame in the 1950s and 1960s for playing rhythm and blues music on Nashville radio station WLAC. He was also a notable record producer and artist manager.
Richbourg was arguably the most popular and charismatic of the four announcers at WLAC who showcased popular African-American music in nightly programs from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. (The other three were Gene Nobles, Herman Grizzard, and Bill "Hoss" Allen.) Later rock music disc jockeys such as Alan Freed, Wolfman Jack, and others mimicked Richbourg's practice of using speech that simulated African-American street language of the mid-twentieth century.
Richbourg's highly stylized approach to on-air presentation of both music and advertising earned him popularity, but it also created identity confusion. Because Richbourg and fellow disc jockey Allen used African-American speech patterns, many listeners thought that both announcers were actually African-Americans. The disc jockeys used the mystique to their commercial and personal advantages until the mid-1960s, when their racial identities as Euro-Americans became public knowledge.

Soon I discovered WLAC and John R, Hoss Allen, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and many others. They determined the musical preferences for my life. Even the commercials were entertaining on WLAC! For more on the history of this station use the link below. http://www.yodaslair.com/dumboozle/wlac/wlacdex.html

An aircheck here of John R selling baby chicks. Pioneering R&B; dj John Richbourg, or John R as his fans knew him, worked the late-night shift at 50,000 watt WLAC out of Nashville, TN. He introduced the national radio audience to future stars that included Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson and B.B. King. After nearly 25 years with the station promoting R&B; and selling not only baby chicks but Swinging Soul Medallions, hot rod mufflers, hair cream and family bibles, he quit in 1973 rather than embrace the station's new pop and rock format. He went on to produce for the Sound Stage 7 label and started his own Seventy Seven and Sound Plus diskeries. He passed away in 1986.

Famous Sea Fights by John R. Hale I propose to tell in non-technical and popular language the story of some of the most remarkable episodes in the history of sea power. I shall begin with the first sea-fight of which we have a detailed history—the Battle of Salamis (B.C. 480), the victory by which Themistocles the Athenian proved the soundness of his maxim that "he who commands the sea commands all." I shall end with the last and greatest of naval engagements, the Battle of Tsu-shima, an event that reversed the long experience of victory won by West over East, which began with Salamis more than two thousand years ago. I shall have to tell of British triumphs on the sea from Sluys to Trafalgar; but I shall take instances from the history of other countries also, for it is well that we shou...
