When he retired in 2013 as morning host of WCSX-FM (94.7), his producer Jim O’Brien summed him up this way: “Ken’s the man. He introduced (Bob) Seger to (Bruce) Springsteen. He was there when Journey wrote ‘Don’t Stop Believin.’”
Calvert also was famous for his 16 years as public address announcer for the Detroit Pistons, a role he held until 2001. During his years with the championship-winning Bad Boys, he became known for his “Joe Duuuuumars” pronunciation of the great Pistons player's name.
I think Ken Calvert's voice every time I hear The Final Countdown. <deep sigh> Too young.
