This Day In History: The Original Rock 'N' Roll Animal, Wolfman Jack, died on this day in 1995 in North Carolina. He was only 57 when he died (my age). He was one of the earliest syndicated Disc Jockeys during the golden age of Rock n Roll. He received a second life after the 1973 George Lucas movie, American Graffiti. His appearance there led to a 1976 Canadian variety television series, and appearances in many TV shows and movies. He lent his voice to the Guess Who's "Clap for the Wolfman" and the Stampeder's 1975 hit "Hit the Road Jack" (both Canadian bands).
