Sue Delany-Leighton, the longtime DJ whose sultry voice San Diego listeners tuned in to on KGB-101.5 FM in the 1980s and ’90s, has died. A tribute to her was posted on the classic rock station’s website Friday.

Delany-Leighton, called the “high priestess of afternoon-drive radio in San Diego,” in an April 28, 1989, San Diego Tribune column, was said to have been suffering from a number of health issues when she died this week, according to an NBC San Diego report.

Delany-Leighton was a mainstay at KGB, where she was also co-host of the popular Delany & Prescott morning show.

Delany-Leighton, a graduate of San Diego State University, lived in Los Angeles.
