Walt “Baby” Love - 1972 KHJ Sales Sheet

This is a one-sheet for Walt “Baby” Love from a 1972 KHJ Sales Folder. The text reads:

Walt “Baby” Love ... Mellow ... Soulful ... Together ... Effortless

Walt “Baby” Love is your kind of guy! He’s rugged and tough, he’s been a paratrooper in Viet Nam, he’s been a football player who tried out for the Buffalo Bills, and he’s a guy who’s concerned about people ... majoring in sociology in college.

This completeness comes through on his show as he brings a variety of emotion and expression to the music he plays. Walt is also great in person, he has an infectious wit and light touch that both amazes and amuses people he meets.
