Legendary DJ Segues Back to Stevie Wonder-Owned Airwaves

Once upon a time, KJLH-FM radio personality Levi Booker (“Levi… who loves you!”) brought a ten-block stretch of LA’s Crenshaw Blvd. to a standstill with the on-air directive “stop your cars, turn your radio up and let’s party!”

He’s just one of the many colorful personalities to have inhabited station hallways over the years. Original owner John Lamar Hill gave the outfit its name with his initials, but those call letters took on new meaning in 1979 when entertainer Stevie Wonder purchased the station and launched the “Kindness, Joy, Love, and Happiness” era.
