Lady Red, a radio personality on 106.3 Chicago, shows off her autographed copy of Empire: The House That John H. Johnson Built.
Jay Alan, program director at 106.3 Chicago, was a former Johnson Publishing Company employee who cut his teeth at WJPC. He was personally mentored about the business by John H. Johnson and attributes his longevity in the radio industry to the late media titan.
Lady Red conducted the interview on what would have been Prince Rogers Nelson's 61st birthday. Christian did a mic check by quoting a line from his song My Name Is Prince.
Soul crooner Raheem DeVaughn was at the radio station on the same day to discuss his new CD and two sold-out performances at Chicago's City Winery.
Raheem DeVaughn remembered Christian from when he first entered the music scene in 2002 and visited Johnson Publishing Company for a JET magazine interview. Christian was then an Associate Editor at JET, the weekly newsmagazine.
