Richard Holmes

I began to listen to KBCA 105 FM, in 1961. I have so many wonderful memories of listening to Rick Holmes, during the 70's, followed by Jai Rich. And then to have the opportunity and honor to work with both of them, at KJLH 102.3 FM, during the 80's...What a special time! I remember the time Sarah Vaughn came to the station (KJLH), and Rick interviewed her on his evening show. Rick was the first person I knew who owned a Mercedes! Rick and Jai, truly made the 70's and 80's musically FUN...

Rick Holmes’ poetic avenue for bringing great music into the homes of tens of thousands of fervent listeners was instrumental for a young 12 year old to enjoy the likes of Cannonball, Gene, Dexter, Roy and Barry. Streets, Melba, Stephanie, Carmen, Nancy and Ella. I even enjoyed The Moody Blues. It encouraged my quest to broadcast and eventually work in a radio station that you worked at but unfortunately, you left before my arrival. It would have been a cathartic dream to absorb your...

Rick Holmes ........Much love and much respect. The "RH Factor" and "Remember to remember to never forget" God Bless ya Rick.

Hello ALL- I was listening to KBCA in the 60's. We would listen to Rick at ALL times. My eyes are filled with tears when I am took back to the times that I have listened to KBCA. GOD gave US BROTHER RICK for a short time and CALLED HIM BACK TO HIM...PEACE

A diet of Rick A Tick for dinner and Jamming Jai Rich for late nite dessert while listening to KBCA 105.1 on our LA FM radio dial filled my soul & spirit with a mixture of jazz, r&b and information that left me thirsty to drink from the well of flowing waters of life. There will never be a duplicate time in radio ever again.

Thanks to GetGlenn56 for setting me straight on Fantastic, That's You. It's Oliver Nelson with Phil Woods. Great to hear it again.

Rick had an opening theme on KBCA, Fantastic That's You by Hank Crawford, but I can't find that song on any of Crawford's albums. Does anyone know where Crawford's recording can be found?
