Raised in southern Missouri, Harry Schlitt won a scholarship to a seminary in Rome, where he was ordained as a priest in 1964. Then it was back to Missouri to start a ministry that led him from teaching high school to the pulpit and then to the airwaves in 1968 with his first deejay-while-a-priest gig for a Top 40 show for teens. To engage the young people who listened, he spliced rock into Christian teachings, a modern kind of churchman that some in the Catholic Church weren’t happy about. (The teens loved him.)
From there, he went to work in radio and TV in Chicago, Las Vegas and San Francisco; on the Armed Forces Radio and Television network; and for the ABC radio network, a career during which he interviewed popular musicians like James Brown, Peggy Lee, The Temptations, Fleetwood Mac and San Francisco hometown favorite Journey.
