Jocko, who claimed to have been an engineer and something of a rocket fan, Murray the K of (Submarine watching) fame, Hal Jackson, who coined the phrase ( Pack the Shellac- still not understood- an exhortation like Go Man Go> maybe) they all had catch phrases as part of their act which is understandable. Dick Clark was briefly a Disc Jockey before ( graduating) to Bandstand and Shindig, etc. Hal Jackson was the first prominent Black Disc Jockey, by the way. another one who somewhat camouflaged the race angle was Chuck Leonard of WABC Music-Radio 77, sometimes abbreviated as ( Chuck-Len). he used to do the Sneak Previews- with Chuck Leonard. I did not know he was a Black man until years later.

Some radio disc jockeys are really announcers or radio personalities. They perform interviews, introducing music, and are sometimes also responsible for programming the playlist for their show. The other radio disc jockeys are more traditional disc jockeys who focus on the performance of transitioning between songs. These radio disc jockeys will often be turntablists (scratch disc jockeys). Mobile Disc Jockeys provide music and amplification equipment at the location of the party. Most mobile disc jockeys perform for house parties, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, school dances, and other infrequent events. Club disc jockeys perform in clubs and bars. They are not generally considered mobile because most clubs and many bars have installed systems which the disc jockey uses. Club disc jockeys are also often specialists in a particular genre of music like classic rock, hip hop, or drum and bass. Turntablists (scratch disc jockeys) use various techniques in their performance to transform the music from its original composition to something unique to them. They blend music, match beats, adjust volume, and rapidly change the direction and tempo of multiple tracks in the process of transitioning between songs. This category is really a performance style that can be utilized in any of the previously mentioned categories.
