Known as "The First Lady of Chicago Radio," Yvonne Daniels was an African-American broadcast pioneer. Her soothing voice and knowledge of jazz made her a favorite with listeners throughout America's Midwest.
The daughter of jazz singer Billy Daniels, she began her radio career at a Jacksonville, Illinois, rhythm and blues station. Later she joined WYNR/Chicago, where her jazz show competed with popular disc jockey Sid McCoy on WCFL. At McCoy's urging, WCFL eventually hired Daniels and soon the team was heard in 38 states, thanks to the 50,000-watt power of WCFL.
From 1964 to 1973, Daniels worked at WSDM/Chicago, the nation's first all-female radio station. Her program Daniels' Den consistently won its time slot.
In 1973, she moved to WLS/Chicago, another 50,000-watt powerhouse, where she became the station's first female disc jockey.
During the 1980s, Daniels worked Chicago morning shows on WVON, WGCI and eventually on "Smooth Jazz WNUA." During her 30-year career, Daniels is credited with paving the way for future generations of female radio personalities.
Yvonne Daniels died on June 21, 1991.
Yvonne Daniels was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1995

Most disc jockeys make between $5,000 and $40,000.

For instance, a mobile disc jockey may be paid $800 for one performance, but they may only perform twice a month.
