This site is a tribute to  Electrifying Mojo who presided over The Midnight Funk Association at 12 a.m.nightly, and could be heard over the airwaves of metropolitan Detroit, and S.E. Michigan, Toledo and Northern Ohio, and Ontario Canada from 1977 to the mid 1980’s at various Detroit radio stations including, WGPR, WJLB, WCHB, WHYT, WMXD, WTWR (Toledo) and WDTR.

Mojo’s style of no formal play list turned a generation of fans on to music and artists that would other wise never been heard or appreciated in the area, if at all. Although employed at mostly urban stations, Mojo didn’t adhere to the notion that music was divided by race and believed that good music is appreciated by everyone.

Without him, many of us growing up in the era would never have heard of artists and musicians like, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, J.Giles Band, The B-52’s, Kraftwerk, New Order, and so many others, not to mention a true appreciation for funk artists like Parliament / Funkadelic, Rick James, Prince, Zapp and Roger, and far too many others to name them all.

In early 2008, we found that the domain midnightfunkassociation.com was unregistered, and at first, secured it for fear that it would be used for unrelated purposes and be lost forever.  The decision was made later that it should be used as a tribute to the D.J that influenced D.J’s, and the only on air personality that could “Make” an artist, or influence record sales and concert sell outs on a continuous basis, while holding nightly court over an entire area of the country and a generation of loyal fans. Something no other Dj has been able to do since.
