Todd T. Taylor is one of our own as he was born in Uhrichsville and attended and graduated from Dennison St. Mary’s. He is the middle son of the late Carmen & Nellie Civiello. Brothers are Rocky & David.
Todd was destined for great things as he was always known as the innovator and one with tireless energy.
Todd graduated in 1961 and within a few weeks was headed to Chicago to attend Midwestern Broadcasting. He landed his first radio job as the Sports Director in Minnesota. Todd would become a music master and a programmer of various radio stations. He has worked in Washington D.C., Louisville Kentucky, Chicago, before returning to Ohio and becoming one of the top DJ’s at WHLO-Akron, WAKR-Akron, WHBC-Canton, WCOL-Columbus, WIZE-Springfield, WINW-Canton and many other stations. He has programmed many stations, was responsible for updating station formats to top 40 and had Number One ratings wherever he graced the airwaves. Todd also had his own Television Shows in various cities doing a weekly music countdown.
Todd was the right arm of Danny Thomas as he became the Voice of ‘St. Jude’ and was flown to various locations to host each station radio-thons. His passion to help children caught Danny Thomas’ eyes and ears as he quickly became known as the Voice of ALSAC for Leukemia Stricken American Children. Todd T., together with his on-air partner Marlo Thomas (That Girl) raised Millions of dollars for St. Jude.
Todd has been the President of the “Radio/Television Broadcasters Hall of Fame of Ohio” for more than 10 years. This Hall of Fame is located in Akron connected to the façade of the Akron Aeros baseball Stadium.
While still in broadcasting and wanting to expand his horizons, Todd created his own Insurance/Investment Agency in 1973 and continues as the main force and President of what is now known as RMC ‘Retirement Marketing Consultants.’
It was only about 16 months ago when some of Todd’s friends enticed him to get back into the music business but this time as a singer. Todd picked up a microphone and hasn’t stopped entertaining since. His show consists of performing all the Oldies you grew up with and he sings the songs just the way you remember them. Instead of just doing a tribute to a certain singer, Todd T. labels his show as “A Tribute to All the Oldies” and this includes all the hits from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and right up to present time.
His show is a super HIGH-ENERGY, non-stop performance with a lot of music history between each song. Remember most of the songs he sings he actually introduced to the music world, emceed them at concerts and is friends with most of the singers/groups. So the entire show is a Musical History tour and there’s a lot of comedy also. You’ll love the many voices that come out of this one crazy music maestro.
You’ll have to see his show to actually believe it and enjoy all the songs, dancing and just plain good ole memories he brings forth.
Todd now resides in Strasburg, at Pine Ridge, with wife Nancy. Their children, Daughter Shelli Lynn, husband Craig and grandchildren Anthony & McKenna, Sons Todd Gregory, and Brice Anthony try to catch as many appearances as possible.
