No one could tell a story like good Ol Casey...listened to him 1985-2001...

Hearing his voice just takes you back to easy times...

Back in Aussie in the 70's, we'd be hang'n out for Casey's show on a Saturday night.....just magic cruis'n 'round town catching up with the rest of the jets in our Rods etc...

@fjbutch Casey Kasem was the best. Never missed his show in the 80s :-)

@fjbutch Casey Kasem was the best. Never missed his show in the 80s. Very rare that a DJ is as enjoyable to listen to as the music. :-)

superboeller, have ya got the AT40 show, where Casey doesn't intro, or outro, 'Startin' over. I'd love to hear that part again, if you've got it!

[WildBill6942]

Ryan Seacrest has nothin on Casey! These were the real days of music!

Brings back memories. Used to listen every Sunday with my Dad from the time I was 5 until I was 13.

Yes, the American Top 40 was broadcast on many great stations in the USA and around the world. Another great station that broadcast it was CkPR, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

a few years ago our local station "My 103.9" was playing old countdowns, and this was one of them, certainly because of the John Lennon tribute. Powerful! ... but on a humourous note, i noticed that they edited out about half of Don Williams' "I Believe In You" (because that might be the ssssssssslowest song ever written, a program director's lament) :)
