Who would you say is your greatest musical influence?

The program director of WIBG in Philadelphia in the early to mid 1960s, as that's what I mostly listened to growing up (Top 40 radio, back when it was much more eclectic). To this day you can tell what I'm getting paid to listen to (now that I work in radio) by the style of music I'm writing.
