Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1969-10-11 J. A. Beauchamp "Cousin Eugene" Rides Heavenbound Express Eugene Walton, otheriwse known as Cousin Eugene by his audience and fellow radio station employees, began on Sept. 29 to broadcast his "Heavenbound Express" Radio program of the finest in gospel music. He can be heard every Monday through Saturday from 3 p.m. until KWAM signs off the air, and on Sundays his regular broadcast time is from 6:45 to 10:00 a.m., and again from 2:30 p.m. until sign off. Cousin Eugene, with the help of a number of local ministers, was successful in convincing th management of KWAM of the need for this daily gospel music program, kind of music not being provided by any local radio station at that time. This gospel music show represents a change in programming for KWAM which has been a country and western station for 18 years. Now the country and western music has been moved to the FM outlet, where it can be heard over KWA-FM-101 which devotes 24 hours a day to country music. This makes it possible for Cousin Eugene's Heavenbound Express program to be braodcast daily on KWAM. Cousin Eugene in Collierville, Tennessee on August 25, 1916 and attended Collierville Junior High School. He moved to Memphis in 1939 and has been with KWAM since 1950. So well appreciated is Cousin Eugene's program, that his church, the Boston Street, Baptist Church honors him yearly with a special service and program to show their gratitude to him for presenting "Heavenbound Express." Cousin Eugene has also been conductor of his own singing group for years, and currently conducts the, "Heavenbound Express Gospel Group". His group makes a number of personal appearances and the money is used to assist distressed families. Cousin Eugene is married and has two daughters, Dorothy Jean of Brooklyn, New York and Euna Flarance. He and his wife live at 824 Randle. Cousin Eugene was voted number two disc jockey in Memphis in the Memphis World D. J. Popularity Contest last year. He encourages his listeners to write him their song requests and their suggestions of how he might improve his show. He feels that maintaining close communications with his radio friends is the best way to be sure his program fits the desires of his audience.
