Answer: Robert Weston Smith

Wolfman Jack (Robert Weston Smith) was a very popular and successful disc jockey who started his career in 1960. He worked at a variety of stations. It wasn't until he met his manager, Don Kelley, in the late 1960s that it was decided to branch out from radio.

His gravelly voice and his persona lent themselves to performing in film, on television, and on recordings. He appeared in "American Graffiti" in 1973, as well as its sequel "More American Graffiti" in 1979. The royalties from those two movies provided an income for him that allowed him to seek out other opportunities in the entertainment industry.

He appeared as Wolfman Jack in a number of television shows, including "The Odd Couple", "What's Happening!!", "Vega$", "Married... with Children", and "Emergency!".

His voice can also be heard in "Clap for the Wolfman", a song by the Canadian band The Guess Who. Another Canadian band, The Stampeders, released their version of "Hit the Road Jack" in 1979 that contained some lyrics by Smith.

He was also the announcer on the NBC show "The Midnight Special" from 1973-1981. Smith hosted "The Wolfman Jack Show" that was recorded by the CBC network in Canada in 1979 and syndicated to stations in the US. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 57 after a heart attack in 1995.
