Felix
Hernandez
Felix Hernandez, host of the long-running radio show
Rhythm Revue, was born and raised in Philadelphia.
He started his radio career in 1979 as a college student . Although
his first musical love is R&B, Felix has worked closely with other
musical styles, especially jazz.
After several years in Florida and Chicago unsuccessfully pitching
his idea for Rhythm Revue (while spinning jazz and producing radio ads),
Felix introduced Rhythm Revue on Newark's public radio station in 1986.
He also produced BluesStage (1989-1995), an award-winning live blues
series hosted by singer and actress Ruth Brown, and later hosted by
writer and director Melvin Van Peebles.
Now in its 18th year on radio, Rhythm Revue's blend of classic soul
and R&B music received the 2000 March of Dimes A.I.R. (Achievement
in Radio) Award for the Best Weekend Program in New York, and was named
New York's Best Radio Show by New York Magazine.
Felix's Rhythm Revue dance parties in New York City consistently draw
thousands of soul-starved dancers. The dances began in 1991 and are
now in their 16th season.
