… Am I that easy to forget? I hope not …
When we first opened this exhibit (7/8/2001), all we knew about Chuck Dann was that he appeared at WKYC in 1967, and he didn’t make the “Power Radio” lineup on February 1, 1968. We believe this aircheck is from January, 1968.Thanks to our great friends who have further identified Chuck Dann as Chuck Riley, later at WIBC in Indianapolis and now a nationally-known voice-over talent. (see COMMENT, below).Otherwise, this is an outstanding (condensed) aircheck and Dann is smooth and personable. It’s really the last hurrah of WKYC personality Top 40. One year earlier, there was no reverb, but REVERB is ON in 1968, Big Jack is gone, (Davey Diamond is in – is this THE Dave Diamond?) and there’s a talk show at 11PM!
(1) Jingles: PAMS Series 33 (Fun!) is featured prominently, as is an all time favorite Voices of PAMS acapella jingle. (2) Spots: Classics for the YoungMobile, Petula Clark for Plymouth, Newport Cigarettes, Campbell’s Soups, Budweiser and Jenos Pizza. Is that Dick Cavett on the Excedrin headache spot? Cavett did a lot of radio work in the 60’s, it seems.
