It's quite a testament to his charisma, talent and yes, good looks, how well he's remembered. <br /><br />The guy seemed to start it all on voice alone, charming and amusing listeners on radio. Then he began to get work as a kind of modern Bob Cummings...a handsome rascal with a sense of humor. But Bob didn't have that cloying "quality: Cummings had. His style, as exemplified by his Col. Hogan role, had everyone admiring him.<br /><br />Let's leave out the legendary ending that still has people theorizing what exactly happened.

I have it around here somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's from KNX. One side is Bob Crane goofin' with guests (Jonathan Winters!!) and the other side has the somewhat unlikely radio host Pat Buttram...who was a stand-up comic and roastmaster, though better known as Mr Haney of 'Green Acres.'<br />Ill Folkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208537275049364194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-43138087865532148842014-08-19T17:10:29.491-07:002014-08-19T17:10:29.491-07:00Bob Crane was a long time DJ on KNX in L.A. during...Bob Crane was a long time DJ on KNX in L.A. during the late 50's & early 60's.Timmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572040880471629009noreply@blogger.com
