Bill Drake, born Philip Yarbrough, is an American radio programmer. He chose his now-legendary last name from among his relatives' surnames because it rhymed with WAKE, the AM radio station in Atlanta, USA where he worked in the 1950s. He accepted radio work in San Francisco and it was in Fresno, California that he met Lester Eugene Chenault, who became his business partner. Wikipedia
