WPPZ (Classix 107.9)/Philadelphia’s 'Lady B' To Have A Street Named After Her

Lady B

RADIO ONE/PHILADELPHIA has partnered with the CITY OF PHILADELPHIA and the HIP HOP LIBRARY to honor their Urban Oldies WPPZ (CLASSIX 107.9)/PHILADELPHIA PM drive WENDY CLARK, AKA “LADY B” for her 40 years on-air in PHILLY with a street renaming ceremony. The 5700 Block of Wyndale Avenue will be named “LADY B WAY." The public will be invited to join the ceremony on SATURDAY, AUGUST 13th from noon-3p (ET).

URBAN ONE/VP/Programming COLBY TYNER said, “LADY B is an icon in PHILLY, one of the reasons I wanted to be on the radio. I interned under her when I was 17. This honor is well-earned and deserved.”

VP/GM EZIO TORRES added, "LADY B and I go way back (I'm not allowed to say how far). So, while many in PHILLY, the music biz and around the globe know her as an icon, I am lucky enough to know her as one of the most giving and emotional people I have ever met."

“If there is someone out there that needs a helping hand, she rallies everyone she knows to make a difference to lift up that person. I mean, yes, she is a superstar and knows more about music than most others in the business, but that's because she knows the artist, the producer, and the story behind the song. I am so excited for LADY B to get a street named in her honor and in her neighborhood.”

OM JAY DIXON commented, "LADY B has done so much for our city and is someone who genuinely cares about people. Naming a street in her honor is well deserved and we hope the whole city comes out to show her love on this day and you know it’s going to be a “basement style” celebration."
