Vik Venus was Smilin' Jack Spector... one of WMCA’s original ‘Good Guys,’ remembered for his lively afternoon show, his “Your Main Man” persona and his sign-off: ‘Look out, street, here I come!’ #JackSpector #WMCA #TheGoodGuys #OneHitWondered

The gimmick paid off, "Moonflight" gave Jack Spector his only #Top40 hit… He followed up with another lunar novelty, “Moon Jack,” but never charted again. Vik Venus was a brief, weird snapshot of late-'60s pop culture/Space Age mania. #JackSpector #VikVenus #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
