Tom Joyner Morning Show Founder of the Tom Joyner Foundation, BlackAmericaWeb.com, and host of the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, Tom Joyner Sr., is considered one of the most influential, inspirational, and dynamic personalities in the country. From small, southern Tuskegee, Alabama, this 1999 Radio Hall of Fame inductee has ignited a sense of pride in the hearts of seven million listeners in more than 120 radio markets, instilling in us the significance of unity and giving back to one’s community. Savoy magazine’s 2002 Person of the Year, Joyner requires that each person who attends his city-to-city “sky show” bring proof of voter registration…or register at the door. He and members of his crew also have prompted major companies to stop discriminating against African Americas and Hispanics in advertising and are in the trenches with the U.S. Department of Health and Human services, raising health awareness among African Americans. But Joyner doesn’t stop there. A graduate of Tuskegee University, Joyner began his broadcasting career in Montgomery, Alabama, at WRMA-AM immediately after graduation.

Caught the last three minutes of a track around 7:35, possibly called “Time”?
It is probably a soul anthem and I am probably asking for something that requires more soul than I possess to possess, but I would appreciate the name of the artist.

I listen to 94.5 every morning on my way to work, and will continue but finally had to say something after this morning’s discussion about Tiger and someone making it a white/black issue. Firstly, I am a white woman. Here’s the thing, not all white people see every issue as coming down to black/white. I grew up in a home where my use of the word “n****r” was grounds for punishment, my uncle/aunt did civil rights work in the south during the ’40s and ’50s and where my mother taught me to respect people for who they are, not how much money they make OR what color they are. I doubt I’m the only white person in this world who feels this way. Prejudice runs two ways – and I think it’s important for all of us to watch what we say and not be so quick to pull the race card. In the case of Tiger, he made some bad choices and will have to suffer the consequences. How is this a white/black issue unless we make it that.
Tom, for all the good you do, and the morning show keeps me laughing every morning, I’d like you to remember you’ve got a white audience out there too, we’re not all the enemy and some of can dance!!
