Far more love for Don Cornelius – and the stories that go with it – will be shared Thursday morning on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) between 6AM-10AM ET. Both Don and Tom got to know each other while working in Chicago radio. Tom’s reflections, along with a number of other notables that Don Cornelius helped turned the spotlight on, join Tom tomorrow. The planned line-up celebrating Don Cornelius on the Tom Joyner Morning Show include:
Gladys Knight – Recalls how she and the Pips were his first guests ever.
