Jonathan Schwartz (radio)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jonathan Schwartz (born in New York City in 1938) is an American radio personality, known for his devotion to traditional pop music.
Schwartz (the son of songwriter Arthur Schwartz) worked at New York's WNEW-FM from 1967 to 1976, followed by stints at WNEW-AM, WQEW, and (currently) WNYC. His weekly Sunday Show, which offers an eclectic mix of music along with conversation and interviews, is simulcast on WNYC and XM Satellite Radio. Schwartz also serves as programming director for XM's High Standards music channel.
In addition to his radio work, Schwartz has performed and recorded as a singer and authored several books. A memoir, All in Good Time, was published in 2004.
Schwartz is known for his on-air anecdotal stories featuring his interactions with Frank Sinatra and other famous people. He is also known for being a virtual walking encyclopedia of everything "Sinatra". Sinatra himself was amazed by Schwartz's knowledge of every song he had ever recorded.
