Skinny Bobby Harper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skinny Bobby Harper (1939 – July 22, 2003) was a radio and video DJ. First making it big in Cincinnati at WSAI (AM), he moved to Atlanta in the late 1960s and joined the staff of WQXI radio, where WKRP in Cincinnati creator Hugh Wilson used him as inspiration for the sitcom's off-the-wall character Dr. Johnny Fever. While in Atlanta, Harper also worked for seven radio stations including WLTA-FM, WKLS-FM and WSB-AM. Born and raised in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, Harper's die-hard hockey fandom drove him to serve as a color commentator for Atlanta Flames radio broadcasts. After being released from WSB-AM in 1991, Harper worked apart from radio in the corporate communications office of Delta Air Lines. He would go on to work for MARTA and Underground Atlanta before retiring.
