The Box Tops - Alex Chilton

“His career began with the birth of black radio in Memphis, back when WDIA was on the east end of Union Avenue and B.B. King was just getting started with a 15-minute live program on afternoon radio. Nelson was the station’s studio pianist then, but was hired for the 15 minutes following King…” – The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN), Dec 31, 2017

WDIA was the first radio station in America programmed entirely for African-Americans. Ford Nelson, one of the station’s pioneers, joined WDIA as BB King’s piano player before becoming an on-air personality. Once described as “WDIA’s piano-playing philosopher,” Nelson worked for the station for 64 years before retiring in 2014.
