DR.FREDERICK G. SAMPSON, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST BRILLIANT THINKERS, PHILOSOPHERS, AND ACTIVIST.

Frederick G. Sampson II was born in Port Arthur, Texas on August 9, 1928 and started his career teaching mathematics in his hometown. His work as a Baptist minister began in Texarkana, Arkansas and eventually led him to the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, where he served from 1971 until his death in 2001. Dr. Sampson earned numerous degrees: two bachelors from Bishop College; bachelor's and a master's degree from Howard University; and master's degrees from Columbus State University and the University of Louisville. He earned his doctoral degree from Virginia Theological Seminary and earned certificates and honorary degrees from several other colleges and universities. In 1984 and again in 1993 Ebony Magazine named Dr. Sampson one of the 15 Greatest Black Preachers in America. Dr. Sampson lectured at colleges and universities across the country, conducted numerous yearly revivals, created study courses and other materials for the Baptists and for the YMCA, and broadcast regularly on the radio. His work included conducting conferences on black male spirituality, planning the 1965 voting rights march with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and serving as president of the Detroit branch of the NAACP. The Electrifying Mojo (born Charles Johnson in Little Rock, Arkansas) is an American radio personality. He is a disc jockey based in Detroit, Michigan whose on-air journey of musical and social development shaped a generation of music-lovers in Detroit and throughoute southeastern Michigan and Canada and was of importance to the development of Detroit techno.[1][2] He is recognized for having introduced many artists into the Detroit radio market, including Prince, The B-52's, and Kraftwerk,[3] and was occasionally thanked on-air by the artists for his support of their work. Prince granted Mojo a telephone interview[4] following a sold out birthday concert at Cobo Arena on June 7, 1986, during an era when Prince rarely if ever granted interviews. He was visited in the studio by The B-52's and The J. Geils Band with the latter thanking him for playing "Flamethrower" from their album Freeze Frame.[5][6 Mojo's seminal radio show ran from 1977 through the mid-1980s, and while broadcast on stations marketed toward the African-American market, his programming was a combination of soul, funk, new wave, hip hop, and rock.[7] He also wrote music, sometimes under the name "C. J. Surge".[8] After serving in the Air Force, Johnson attended the University of Michigan in the mid-1970s where he began broadcasting on the University radio station and then on Ann Arbor station WAAM (at the time a popular Top 40 station). In 1977, he began broadcasting on WGPR (107.5) in Detroit and soon gathered a diverse audience attracted to his "genre bending" format. Moving to WJLB around 1982, Mojo gained additional listeners at the more easily found 97.9 frequency and billboards throughout Detroit touted the "Landing of the Mothership" at 10:00 every night. Mojo moved to WHYT (96.3) in 1985 and then WTWR-FM in Toledo, Ohio after a management turnover at WHYT in 1987, until 1990, when he accepted an offer to return to the Detroit airwaves at WMXD. At this time, Mojo began doing remote broadcasts, driving around Detroit, talking to people in the city, while his Production assistant Wendell Burke kept the music going at the studio. In the mid-nineties, Mojo went back to WGPR. Musically, this included shows focused on single themes, such as symphonic music by black composers, a survey of the jazz and symphonic music of Duke Ellington, and one alternating the music of Billie Holiday with spoken excerpts from her autobiography. He, as before, frequently played recordings in their entirety. In an unusual arrangement, Mojo was purchasing his air-time from WGPR and then finding his own sponsors for the show. His two primary sponsors at this time were a deli and an insurance agency. He also dedicated airtime to reading excerpts from his 500-plus page book, The Mental Machine (ISBN 0-9639811-1-0), a work of poetry and prose about community and societal ills. The late 1990s brought Mojo to WCHB for a stretch in 1998 where he began broadcasting his show over the internet for a short time. He also was making guest appearances on the now defunct WDTR around 2004. InfluenceEdit Mojo's habit was to play entire recordings without interruption. Mojo would often play hours of Prince's music, not only his hits, but deep album cuts and b-sides. When Prince was about to release a new album, Mojo would often play the album in its entirety, and this practice continued into the 1990s. gy The trio of artists widely cited as the founders of Detroit Techno, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, and Derrick May have all made mention of Mojo's influence on their musical development.
