The first disc jockey in Dallas to break radio's color barrier, HENDERSON's career stretched from KLIF (when it was The MiGHTY 1190) to KXXK ("For Groovy Grown-Ups") to KKDA-A (SOUL 73) to KNON.

KNON's WEIRD WARREN HARRIS credited LINNIE for being the "first guy to play soul on a Rock radio station."
