The radio show "The Johnny Otis Show" aired on other Pacifica radio stations besides KPFA, including KPFK in Los Angeles. Additionally, the show actually originated from Los Angeles for a long time (years, as I recall) and wasn't at all as described in this article. For example it was broadcast from the KPFK studios live on a weekday night (I think it was Wednesday) without any audience, and was known for opening its phones to listeners to play R&B requests. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Doranb|Doranb]] ([[User talk:Doranb|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Doranb|contribs]]) 06:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Willie and the Hand Jive==
In case anyone isn't aware this major recording doesn't actually have an article of its own (the title redirects here). This should be rectified. [[Special:Contributions/68.146.72.113|68.146.72.113]] ([[User talk:68.146.72.113|talk]]) 21:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

== Lede ==

As it is, the lede lists Otis as an "American singer, musician, talent scout, disc jockey, composer, arranger, recording artist, record producer, vibraphonist, drummer, percussionist, bandleader, impresario and pastor". That's thirteen job titles, and I think that might be a bit much. Does anyone think we could trim it by ten or so? <font color="green">Evanh2008,</font> <font color="purple">Super Genius</font> <font size="1"> [[User:Evanh2008|Who am I?]] [[User talk:Evanh2008|You can talk to me...]]</font> 21:53, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
