Broadway Bill Lee’s energetic rhyming style was something many tried to duplicate, but few, if any, succeeded.
This aircheck is from 1989 at Hot 97 WQHT, New York.
In addition to engaging with the music and rhyming, pay attention around the 1:00 mark, when the imaging specifically calls out two format competitors.
Enjoy Broadway Bill Lee.
