description Trumon Puckett (b. Aug 2, 1917 - d. Jan 30, 1967) - one of Birmingham radio's most famous names. Trumon Puckett was well know in gospel radio circles in both the Black and white communities with his "Gospel Ship" program on WJLD 1400. Beginning his career at WJ:LD in 1944, his on air shift covered some 23 years. He was a ham radio operator and a record promoter, recording one of Birmingham's most famous gospel groups, the Ensley Jubilees. Here, his son Rod Puckett, shares his childhood memories of his father. The 3 minutes clip from 1966 includes Trumon Puckett, Deacon Richmond Davis and the beginning of a sermon by C.L. Franklin. At the close, Trumon introduces "J.J. the Dee Jay." That would have been Ed "Johnny Jive" McClure.
