In the beginnings of his radio career. (after singing, acting, and writing and producing music), Gene joined RJ (Ron Joseph) in late 1966 at WEEZ-AM radio, and then they rocked over to WIFI-92 FM in Philly, and created the Number One FM Sound in the city, performing at dances and record hops throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and nearby South Jersey. He called his shows "Giant Gene's Discoscene", and later, wrote for Discoscene Magazine. For 3 summers, after he created "Gene Arnold's AM Underground" on WCAM, he also did the broadcast live from the "fun capital of the Shore"...Wildwood New Jersey, where he hosted and MC'd many of the top names in rock music in concerts there, at The Spectrum, The Electric Factory, and on his programs. They included Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge, The Allman Brothers, Chicago, and many more. While credited with the first "popular progressive rock" shows in the area before any major stations had gone to that format, and introducing groups he is still friendly with such as Nazz, his populariy grew from dance music and the dances and shows he performed at for fans throughout the Delaware Valley. Gene also hosted "Gene Arnold's American Scene" on CBS Radio's WCAU-1210, and his syndicated "Duperstar Concerts' and "History of Disco" series.

Our goal is to educate and inform you of the very historic "Sounds Of Philly" that Gene was a vital part of by introducing you to the people who made it, and their ever classic recordings of their worldwide hits.
