Rick Shaw (born James Harold Hummel; October 24, 1938 – September 22, 2017) was an American disc jockey, radio and television personality, who remains best known for hosting his radio shows on WQAM (1963-1975), WAXY (1975-1990), and Majic (1990-2007). Early life Shaw was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Radio and television career He started in radio as a high school senior. In 1956, he got his first job in St. Louis.

When the show ended, he played the Peterson classic, "Goodnight My Love".[2] Television programs He hosted two television shows, "Saturday Hop" and "The Rick Shaw Show," both on Channel 10 (WLBW). In the 1970's and early 1980s, he was a commercial spokesman in national campaigns for products such as NuVinyl furniture cleaner and NuFinish car wax. He also was president of the Majic 102.7 Children's Fund.[1] Personal life Shaw spent his retirement doing charity work and hosting events. He video-recorded weddings. He loved ocean cruises and cars, buying a 1955 Thunderbird convertible after he retired.[2] Death Shaw died on September 22, 2017, at his home in Cooper City, Florida, where he lived for more than 30 years.
