Skinny Bobby Harper (1939 – July 22, 2003) was a Canadian-born radio and video DJ. First making it big in Cincinnati, Ohio at WSAI (AM) and in Kansas City, Missouri at WDAF,〔 he moved to Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1960s and joined the staff of WQXI radio. ''WKRP in Cincinnati'' creator Hugh Wilson had worked with Harper at WXQI and used him as the inspiration for the sitcom's off-the-wall character Dr. Johnny Fever. While in Atlanta, Harper also worked for seven other radio stations, including WPLO, WGST, WLTA, WKLS and WSB.〔 Born and raised in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, Harper was a die-hard hockey fan and served as a color commentator for Atlanta Flames radio broadcasts. After being released from WSB in 1991,〔 Harper stayed in Atlanta but left radio, going to work in the corporate communications office of Delta Air Lines. He went on to work for MARTA and Underground Atlanta before retiring. Harper died on July 22, 2003, in Atlanta from lung cancer.〔 ==References== 〔 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「Skinny Bobby Harper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
