There have been many good radio personalities. Dan? Still the best, ever. I get a warm fuzzy hearing his voice on old shows. The ribald air checks are priceless!

Ah yes…Daniel Trombley Ingram. The greatest comic on New York Radio.

A genius.

If ever there were magic slippers to take you back to your childhood it would be listening to dan Ingram. His voice, the jingles and the WABC chime remind me of growing up in Brooklyn in the 60s. Today the kids have no idea what we are talking about.

This aircheck is from December 17, 1976. It has a commercial saying “A Star Is Born” with Barbra Streisand comes out that night, and that was the release date of the film.

Format Question:

At 12:24 WABC played It’s Impossible by Perry Como. Why did they do that? When it came out in late 1970, it was considered one of the worst records out (though some despised DOA by Bloodrock more).

That song is clearly MOR (not even A/C but MOR) and should not have been heard beyond 1130 AM (WNEW).

It says “summer of 1977″ on the scroll, however, he says it’s 35 degrees out for the weather at one point? Can’t be summer….

Growing up on Long Island in the sixties, I had the good fortune to watch Big Dan do one of his afternoon shows at WABC. As great as he was on the air, when you combined that with his live antics behind the ‘mic’, you can only imagine the ’show’! His ability to produce a song intro, adlib and sense of timing were second to none. When they made personality DJ’s, after Big Dan Ingram, they broke the mold. Long live the Ingram Flingram!

Wonderful to hear Dan Ingram again… I forgot how engaging he was. I grew up in the country and he made New York City seem even closer… Hot summer days in the pool….with the speakers outside tuned to 77 WABC… Those were the days….Peace to all

After hearing the air check on this site, it reminded me once again about made Dan Ingram so great on WABC. By the mid 1970s, I didn’t listen to WABC verry much (after all, fm was in stereo), but, I still tried to listen to Dan Ingram in the afternoons, especially when I was in a car. I wish that someone had some of the earlier air checks when Dan and Howard Cosell would banter back and forth before and sometimes after, Howard’s sports commentary.

What a phenomal aircheck, but then again, when is there not a phenomal aircheck? especially when Dan Ingram is on it at his best, on the best station WABC. I really wish this was all a dream and Musicradio was coming back on tommorrow. I miss hearing Bruce, Dan, Chuck, Harry & Ron the best of the best all in a league of their own.
