Vrij, Associated Press Hank Snow in 1985 lic, studied for six years to earn certification as a Religious Science minister, and in 1987 abandoned radio to become minister of the Sherman Oaks Church of Religious Science. He later served the organization's Santa Clarita Church. "There's a strong element of showmanship in all successful ministries," the Rev. Leo Fishbeck of the Glendale Science of Mind Center, who trained McCoy, told The Times shortly after McCoy began delivering sermons.

have to move people in some way. Coming from radio, Ron already knew how to do that." Enamored in childhood of live dramatic shows on radio, McCoy landed his first radio job at age 12 on a local station in his native Denver. He acted the boyhood voices of famous artists on a show called "Art Speaks Your Language" and voiced parts in little plays about farm life on a Saturday agricultural show. After more on-the-job training in an Office of War Information radio drama workshop during World War II, he studied economics and history at the University of Denver, intending to go into radio news. But his first job as an adult was in entertainment radio as a disc jockey at Salt Lake City station KALL.

Four years later, in 1958, he moved to Los Angeles as a deejay at KLAC. In 1961, he switched to KFI and began his long stint on talk radio. When McCoy adopted his second Please see MCCOY, A48 By MYRNA OLIVER TIMES STAFF WRITER Ron McCoy, a Los Angeles radio host dubbed the "dean of late night talk radio" who chucked a half-century career on the airwaves to become a Religious Science minister, has died. He was 72. McCoy, who hosted KFI's "Night Owl Show" from 1961 to 1978, died of cancer Dec.

10 in Los Angeles. Known for his melodious voice, sense of humor and nonconfronta-tional style, McCoy estimated that he fielded between 8,000 and 10,000 phone calls a year during that 17-year run. The subjects under discussion, despite strict limits set by station management, ranged from politics to the mundane, or what McCoy always labeled "fudge brownie recipes." "The 1960s were a very controversial time: hippies, the Vietnam War, assassinations, drugs and sex," McCoy told The Times in 1989. "But KFI management had a strict policy against anything controversial. Comedian Joey Adams was on when Ronald Reagan was running for governor and a caller asked him if actors should go into politics.

'Why says Adams. 'Most politicians are clowns "Management didn't let me have a guest for two months after that one," McCoy said. "KFI thought I was incompetent and couldn't handle my guests." After leaving KFI, McCoy had other talk shows successively on hopping aboard a train to leave a lover would become the biggest hit of the year and would eventually be recorded in 36 languages. Among the artists who recorded the song were Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and Emmylou Harris. The success of that hit launched Snow on a prolific career that would see him record more than 100 albums and log hits through 1980.

Among his best-known songs: "I've Been Everywhere," "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such As "I Don't Hurt Anymore," "Hello Love," "Let Me Go Lover" and "Golden Rocket." Snow is largely unknown to many of today's country music fans, even those who are familiar with Hank Williams Tubb, Roy Acuff and other stars of the 1940s and 1950s, and that's a regrettable blind spot, said Willie Nelson, who recorded a 1985 duet album with Snow. "When you talk about traditional country music, Hank Snow is right in the middle of that picture," Nelson told The Times on Monday. "It's people's loss if they don't hear it, because Hank Snow music is the traditional country in its greatest form. It's really a shame that everyone doesn't know this music." Kyle Young, the director of the Country Music Hall of Fame, on Monday called Snow "one of the best songwriters in the history of the music" and added that Snow's use of By GEOFF BOUCHER jlMES STAFF WRITER I Country music's flamboyant fSinging Ranger," Hank Snow, who was born in a tiny Canadian fishing village but created a half-century Nashville career with his rjhinestone suits and rollicking hits such as "I'm Movin' On," died Monday, He was 85. k.

Inspired by western film stars such as Tom Mix, Snow escaped an abusive childhood home and a tleenage stint as a cabin boy on Arcjic fishing schooners to become One; of the biggest stars of the country scene in its post-World Wat II growth years. a young songwriter, Snow drew on musical influences ranging worn country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers to the pop tunes of Tin fart Alley to create his distinctive upd which caught the ear of country legend Ernest Tubb, who pusfied to have Snow added to the Gratid Ole Opry roster in 1949.

That same year, Snow's signature song, "I'm Movin' On," spent a record 21 weeks at No. 1 on the dbujftry charts. The song about unusual rhythms and other musical experiments are under-recognized. "When most people think of him, they think of the tremendous impact that Jimmie Rodgers had on him or they think of 'I'm Movin' arguably his greatest hit," Young said. "But he was a real experimenter.

That is an anomaly in our field now and it was an anomaly then. He was so versatile: Latin rhythms, jazz, blues, Hawaiian, recitations, mambo, gospel." Born Clarence Eugene Snow in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, in 1914, the future singer endured a bleak, brutal youth. After his parents divorced when he was 8, Snow endured ongoing abuse from a Please see SNOW, A49 Los Angeles Times Ron McCoy in 1986 KGIL, KPRZ (later KIIS-AM) and KIEV. But his increasing restlessness with management policies and two shattering divorces prodded him to seek a career change. A five-minute Religious Science show that preceded his "Night Owl" on KFI convinced him to explore that early 20th century religion.

"Religious Science said that if you want to be better than you are, it's all up to you. That's a practical way that made sense to me," he later told The Times.
