Popular Boston and Los Angeles Radio Personality "Emperor Bob" Hudson was Billboard's morning man of the year in 1966. Teamed with Ron Landry at KGBS in 1971, and the two produced the Grammy-winning comedy album "Ajax Liquor Store."

Born Robert Howard Holmes, he led his commandos to mornings on KRLA in 1963. He designed missions for, by his account, 40,000 commandos. One mission was to take over San Francisco, cover it with water and make it the world's largest ice skating rink. Another project was to straighten Sunset Boulevard and create the world's largest bowling alley. Bob regularly signed off his programs by warning the "peasants" to clear the freeway because "His highness is coming."
