Lucky Cordell discusses Al Benson's power and influence in Chicago

In my opinion, there wasn't before him, nor will there be after him, a Black air personality that will be as powerful as he was. Because at one time, in the entire city of Chicago, if you wanted to reach the Black community you had to go through Al Benson. That will never happen again because there's many personalities now. So no one person will have that ball game again.
