George “Hound Dog” Lorenz

George “Hound Dog” Lorenz was a true original and Buffalo, New York, will never be the same again. In the mid-50s he was being hailed throughout 27 states and parts of Canada as the granddaddy of rock’n roll. In 1964 he founded WBLK-FM in Buffalo, New York. Although he passed away in May of 1972 at age 52, he remains a symbol of staunch independence and raw talent that has inspired many broadcasters to this day.
