Dave Hull  Dave Hull, aka "The Hullabalooer", (born 20 January 1934) is a Los Angeles radio personality voted one of the top ten LA radio personalities of all time. Born Jan. 20, 1934, he admits to being 77 with his personal addition herewith dated Mar. 3, 2011. Hull began his radio career in Armed Forces Radio in Casablanca, Morocco and in commercial radio in 1955 at KGFL in Roswell, New Mexico. He got his nickname while working at WONE in Dayton, Ohio. Los Angeles radio historian Don Barrett quotes Hull as saying: "A woman wrote me from a hotel outside Dayton to say she couldn't stand all that hullabaloo. Well, "Webster's" defined it as a 'tumultuous outroar,' so I used it." He reached Los Angeles' KRLA in the summer of 1963 as weekend relief and went full-time there in the 9pm-midnight slot by the fall of 1963. By the end of 1964, Hull's increasing popularity prompted one young female fan, Suzie Cappetta, to write and record a song entitled "Dave Hull The Hullabalooer", which quickly reached the local top 40 charts by early 1965. Hull became close with The Beatles during their 1965 and 1966 American tours. During that time, Hull taped approximately fourteen interviews with the band. He, along with Bob Eubanks, planned The Beatles' 1966 concert at Chavez Ravine (Dodger Stadium). His work with the band earned him the honorary title of "fifth Beatle." "We were told a very interesting story about the album, "Sgt. Pepper." The Beatles always liked drinking "Dr. Pepper," before and after their concerts, in America. Apparently, that beverage was not that accessible in England. The Beatles wanted to call their new L.P. record, "Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." ( "When I'm 64," for an album title, was simply a working title.) We were told, that it was none other than Dave Hull, who told The Beatles they would be in one big lawsuit, if they used the name "Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." At Dave Hull's suggestion, it was changed from "Dr. Pepper's" to "Sgt. Pepper's." And the rest is history." — Bill Earl  Hull worked closely with The Beach Boys, The Dave Clark Five and The Rolling Stones during that period. In December 1965, Hull opened his "Hullabaloo" teen club on Sunset in Hollywood.
