Lee "Baby" Simms
Lee Baby was the guy who inspired me to get into radio. Although a Top 40 disc jockey for most of his career -- certainly never a freeform disc jockey -- he broke formats all the time and was one of the true outlaws of Top 40 and "AM Radio."
His whereabouts are currently not known by me. If you know, let me know. Last spot I know of was KISQ in San Francisco, 2002.
Link below has a synopsis of his days at WPOP. There's even a short audio clip:

You might like to listen to some tunes by a band in Lawrence KS called "The Lee Baby Sims Show." Their music is influenced by the delta blues, bluegrass, old-time music, and various other genres. "Slaughterhouse Blues" and "In the Cards" is my favorite.
If you would like to hear some vintage Lee Baby Simms, check out his aircheck from 1973 at WWW.Radioloidarity.Blogspot.Com And there are more from 1971 at WWW.Shadoe.Com
