… Casey At The Mike …
Casey Kasem is heard on his 7-Midnight show from KEWB Channel 91 on October 2, 1962. The fidelity of this partially-scoped recording suggests it was made speaker-to-microphone, but it is nevertheless a rare snapshot of both a veteran Top 40 station and a legendary radio talent.
You’ll hear Casey doing what made him famous  counting down a list of popular songs accompanied by his seemingly professorial knowledge of the performers. It’s the Voice Your Choice feature of his nightly show, and here, he counts down the Top Nine hits of the day.
On this particular evening, The Los Angeles Dodgers and The San Francisco Giants were about to decide who would play The New York Yankees in the World Series. Los Angeles broadcast personality Cleve Herman offers commentary.
