Tom Perryman (center) began receiving awards for his
innovative broadcasting and promotional style early on in his career.
Here, congratulating him on winning Mr. DJ USA in 1954 are from left to
right Teddy Wilburn, Artist agent Hubert Long, WSM anchorman Bill
Britton, Doyle Wilburn, and Faron Young. Elvis Presley borrowed the
jacket Tom’s wearing in the picture here to wear at a couple of his
shows and wanted to keep it but Tom wouldn’t give it up. |
