KSHE-95’s Shelley Grafman The Architect of Classic Rock Radio: Collector's Edition Softcover Book

In the early 1960s, KSHE 94.7 FM was a small, struggling radio station in St. Louis, Missouri that featured classical music and news. Things began to change in 1964 when the station was sold to Century Broadcasting, which would soon change the format to Classic Rock and hire Shelley Grafman as general manager.

With Grafman at the helm, things changed forever, and St. Louis soon became the hub of rock & roll across the country, featuring Album-Oriented Rock music and cementing FM radio’s place in radio history.

Real Classic Rock was born!

KSHE-95’s Shelley Grafman tells the story of how Grafman and his talented team of deejays, salesmen, and marketers made KSHE the dominant station in the St. Louis market, and in the process, helped launch the careers of many of rock & roll’s most famous artists. This book also features rock ’n’ roll treasures from the never-before-seen private collection of the architect of classic rock radio himself—Shelley Grafman!
