Billboard Bildungsroman: For the 100th episode of #HitParadePod on @slate.com I go deep on my chart-geek history. Part 1: my musical memoir, Solid Gold to Nirvana. Part 2: the story of Casey Kasem, original #AmericanTop40 host—how he nationalized countdowns, invented the LDD & survived the Dead Dog.
#AmericanTop40 never liked either Simon or Garfunkel as much as I did Simon & Garfunkel.
But All I Know was still pretty good.
A true radio exclusive. 📻
Casey’s #1s — every #1 hit of the ’70s & ’80s, in chronological order, told in Casey Kasem’s own voice. Carefully crafted from thousands of hours of original #AT40 broadcasts.

Is there anything more 1989 than Shadoe Stevens throwing to Enya singing Sail Away...?

#JohnCaffertyandTheBeaverBrownBand aren’t a well known band in Australia. But I got in to them through #americantop40 with #caseykasem and the #eddieandthecruisers soundtracks. Yesterday their saxophonist Michael “Tunes” Antunes passed away at 85. Thanks for the tunes Tunes.

Kemal Amin "Casey" Kasem was born this day in 1932.
Most of us older folks remember Casey’s “American Top 40” countdown, as well as the “Weekly Top 40”.
😁 I listened every weekend, and even enjoyed the song dedications.

Casey Kasem’s American Top 40. 70s and 80s.
I may or may not be addicted to listening to this station on IHeart radio. You can’t beat the diversity. Going from Sister Jean Mead singing a pop version of “The Lord’s Prayer”, to Brownsville Station singing, “Smoking In The Boys Room”. #AmericanTop40 #IHeartRadio
