WPIX Radio in New York to devote himself to the project. As a former disc jockey and music director for WPIX, he convinced the top executives of Twentieth Century Fox to financially back his vision when he and Charlie Smalls, the composer and lyricist, flew to the Coast to present the concept and the songs of the production, and The Wiz became a reality. Ken's understanding of the music scene meant that WPIX was frequently the first New York station to play songs which soon became national hits, and recognition of his insight by others in the music industry led to his involvement in record producing. His achievements, however, extend well beyond the field of music. He hosted the WCBS-TV musical variety program Call Back and acted in the NBC-TV serial Another World. His radio interview programs have featured outstanding public figures ranging from important politicians to critics, minority group leaders and entertainment celebrities.
