[1] In late December 1963, WMCA, with Spector, earned the distinction of being the first New York City radio station to play Capitol Records' groundbreaking single "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles.
Consequently, Spector became associated with the radio station most credited with introducing Beatlemania - and the "British Invasion" musical movement - to New York City listeners.
[3] In 1969, while continuing to work as a DJ in New York, Spector released a single on Buddah Records under the name, "Vik Venus, Alias: Your Main Moon Man".
In it, a reporter asks astronauts questions about a fictional "Achilles moon flight", with the responses taken from snippets of popular songs of the day.
In 1974, Spector left WHN to go to WCBS-FM 101.1 where he hosted a 1955-1964 based Oldies show called "The Saturday Night Sock Hop" and another regular weekend shift.
Late in 1988, Spector left WQCD and joined the staff of WHLI 1100 in Hempstead, New York, playing an Adult Standards format for Long Island listeners.
After participating in a few "Radio Greats" weekends at WCBS-FM, Jack Spector returned to 101.1 as a part-time swing announcer in 1993 while also working five days a week at WHLI.
On March 8, 1994, shortly after starting a recording of Louis Prima's I'm In The Mood For Love, he suffered an apparent heart attack and collapsed.
