Following in the historical footsteps of Jessie B. Blayton, Sr., the founder of WERD-AM 860 on Auburn Avenue in 1949 comes yet another modern-day radio pioneer. He’s Auburn Avenue-based Tom Davis aka “Dr. Love”, the founder and owner of Love Internet Radio at www. dr-love.com. Internet radio is in its infancy. Davis, ventured into the uncharted waters six years ago – far ahead of his competitors in the euphoric d.com. era. “Tom’s been an educator for years, he’s trained a majority of the young disk jockey’s across the nation” opines Allen Johnson, owner of Music Specialists, a 30-year Miami-based veteran of the music industry who has successfully developed an array of entertainment companies.
Love Radio is one of his clients. Dr. Love is one of his favorite friends. “

From 1990 to 1998 Davis helped WRFG in Atlanta move from a barely audible wattage to a 100-thousand watt powerhouse. “One hundred thousand watts is the most you can have,” says Davis who served as the struggling public radio station’s general manager for nearly a decade. “I raised the funds. I put together the engineering package. I made them what they are today.” “He put WRFG on the map and when he left it fell right off,” opines Johnson, a longtime Miami media friend of this reporter, of Davis’s radio prowess. “He brought national promoters; he brought the money they tried years to cultivate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwGS0SnTcrc&t=8s |

“He is the first man of color that I’ve ever met in my life who was able to create grants that created national public radio stations & Community Based Stations.” Although an accomplished musician and trumpet player as a high school performer in Rockford, Illinois Davis was convinced as a collegian that the engineering side of the music business would make for a profitable future. Davis was one of the first blacks in the nation to acquire the skills to put together like an erector-set radio stations. “I did everything from building the towers, to putting the transmission system in place to training the volunteers at numerous stations around the country,” Davis reveals. The stations he built include KNON in Dallas, KBAF in Little Rock and KFFI in Kansas City.

When he got thru he had a score of grants written, the station grew up, and all the major announcers in town right now came through his system.” Then Davis or “Dr. Love” as he is known to his friends and colleagues decided to break new ground by establishing an Internet radio station – a business concept that seemed far-fetched, if not improbable at the time. “It’s the future,” Davis replies when asked what prompted him to launch his Internet station. “What the Internet offers is an opportunity for unsigned artists and unknown artists to get their music played and shared with a large international audience because the Internet and my audience are worldwide.” Davis says that while his station is yet to turn a profit, he can tell that his jazz, blues, gospel and Hip-Hop Love Radio format is steadily |

Ralph W. Hawthorne
An Author, husband, father, grandfather, ordained Elder, and Christian, Ralph W. Hawthorne has many titles, which have been the hallmark of the successful transformation of his life. Hailing from Rockford, Illinois, Ralph has been married for close to four decades to his loving wife, Leteena, with whom they are blessed with four sons and eight grandchildren. A staunch Christian for the past 29 years, Ralph is strongly passionate and dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others in the society who are feeling lost, rejected, and overcome with a sense of hopelessness.
In his debut book, Ralph divulges his life experiences before surrendering his life to Jesus Christ. Ralph was a former player, pimp, gang member, drug dealer, chronic alcoholic, and drug addict. His breakthrough moment came in the most unlikely of places, in the back seat of a police car, where he vividly remembers hearing the voice of God ask him, “You’ve tried everything else, why don’t you just try me?”
A true and living testament to God’s mercy, grace, and second chance, Ralph’s book captures the readers’ attention as he shows his struggles and commitment to overcome his past life and live on to serve God fully. After 29 years of a drug and crime-free and happy life, Ralph is a perfect example of the scripture that says, “Whom the son sets free is free indeed” John 8:36.
