Wink died at age 91
Elvis Presley’s good friend, rock-n-roll DJ and TV game show host pioneer Wink Martindale, has died at the age of 91.
Wink’s calling card during his time on in the public eye was his distinct voice, bold sport coats, and his very unique and peculiar first name.
“When I was a kid in Jackson, Tennessee, one of my playmates, Jimmy McCord, couldn’t say ‘Winston,’ which is my given name. He had a speech impediment, and it came out sounding like ‘Winky,’ he told ABC News in 2014. “So Winston turned into Winky, and then I got into the business and Wink it was! It served me well.”
