Jim "JC" Connors (May 7, 1940 – February 24, 1987) was a popular radio personality (disc jockey) of the 1960s through 1980s in the United States.〔Radio Broadcasting History ("Radio Broadcasting History" "Jim Connors" ), ''Radio Broadcasting History - 440 Satisfaction'', 2008-04-27. Retrieved on 2008-04-27.〕 ==Highlights== Jim Connors earned thirteen Gold records for discovering artists during his career including Harry Chapin and his hit song "Taxi". Chapin later went on to write "W *O *L *D," a song inspired by Connors' life. This song was based on a phone call Harry overheard while in studio with JC at WMEX-Boston. The men began discussing what life as a "jock" is like, which was Harry's inspiration for the hit song. Connors also earned gold with Chuck Berry for "My Ding-a-ling," Wayne Newton for "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast," Joe Simon for "Power of Love," and Mouth & MacNeal for "How Do You Do," along with many others, for exposing the songs to the mainstream audience.〔 Connors was well known amongst radio programmers of the 1960s and 1970s for his programming and promotional abilities along with his ''Think Sheet.'' The 'Think Sheet' was a monthly publication he wrote and distributed to fellow radio programmers making recommendations on airplay for new artists, along with jock jokes and trend analysis based on market research. He was granted the opportunity to speak at the 2nd Annual Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Connors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
