Legendary Philadelphia disc jockey, music fan, and friend of Bruce Springsteen, Ed Sciaky, has died, 55 years old. Ed Sciaky was probably the first disc jockey in the world to play Bruce Springsteen's music on the radio in the early Seventies, and he played an important role in making Bruce a household name on the East Coast. Since then Springsteen has always been prominently featured in his radio broadcasts, not least in his Sundays With Springsteen shows on WMGK where Sciaky has now ended his career way too soon. So far there hasn't been an official reaction from Bruce, but Little Steven told Philadelphia Daily News, "I loved him. I'll miss him". So will thousands of radio listeners in the US and elsewhere. RIP.
