Yes, well, sort of. The programme this person is most associated with did feature songs on a regular basis, as well as other material. However, most people would place it in a different category before "musical variety".

Great guess, I was totally off-base in where I was at (which was Don Cornelius of _Soul Train_ or Dick Clark of _American Bandstand_.)
