Arthur Godfrey learned about radio while serving in the Navy and the Coast Guard during the 1920’s. After leaving the service, he was in a near fatal car wreck (Godfrey was on his way to a flying lesson). While recovering, he began listening closely to commercial broadcasts and realized that he would be better suited to be in front of the microphone than hidden in the shack doing technical work. Godfrey made a name for himself as CBS’s morning man in Washington, but is probably best remembered for his talent shows which introduced names like Pasty Cline, Don Adams, Tony Bennett, Roy Clark, Pat Boone and others.
