Smith became world famous in the 1960s and 1970s as a disc jockey using
the stage name of Wolfman Jack. Wolfman Jack died of a heart attack in
Belvedere, North Carolina, on July 1, 1995, at only 56 years of age. The
day before his death, he had finished broadcasting his last live radio
program, a weekly program nationally syndicated from Planet Hollywood
in downtown Washington, D.C. Wolfman Jack said that night, "I can't wait
to get home and give Lou a hug, I haven't missed her this much in years."
Wolfman had been on the road, promoting his new autobiography Have Mercy!.
Lou Lamb Smith, Wolfman's wife did get that hug. She met Wolfman at the
door of their home as he arrived from the airport. He opened his arms
wide, smiled and said "One more time." As Lou went to hug him, Wolfman
collapsed in her arms, and died.
