The voice, the timing, the quick humor, the laugh, the excitement, the enthusiasm, these are the talents of the greatest top 40 DJ of all time, Big Dan Ingram.
Memories of a very turbulent time! April 10, 1968 was just a week removed from the assassination of MLK JR. Vietnam was raging. Big Dan and WABC offered us a respite from all the craziness of the late 60s. Thanks for posting this, Ellis! Merry Christmas to you!
Certainly takes me back... I remember trying to listen back then. While Dan was quite good at what he did, the continuous wall of chatter and noise got wearying after awhile. I hated how DJs would keep on gabbing right into the song intros.
I still have my year ending top 100's from 1965-72 but I gave away my weekly standings a long time ago. Oh boy ,how I wish I still had them to look at now at my older age.

I cannot even express the influence big Dan had on my sense of humor. I loved him.

Great stuff as always, Ellis!
I used to pick them up at night from STL. I sent away for a copy of the Top 100 of 1968
