Chuck Leonard on MusicRadio 77 WABC | Summer, 1979
A lively Chuck Leonard plays the Disco hits of ‘79 on MusicRadio 77. One of our original recordings posted way back in June of 2003, here’s one restored in higher fidelity. Only three years away from News/Talk, WABC is still a HOT station here, with all the energy fans remember.
Note the static crashes in this recording… obviously recorded from some distance from NYC. Believe it or not, listening even with the static from distant thunderstorms just added to the excitement of a Summertime of listening to AM radio. I could tell how bad the storms were going to be by the sheer number of crackles. Am I the only one who felt this way? Sheesh, radio really was an illness one should have been treated for haha!!

CHUCK LEONARD WAS ONE OF THE BEST AIR JOCKS ALONG WITH JACK INGRAM, HARRY HARRISON, RON LUNDY, THE GREATEST DJ’S OF ALL TIME.
WABC’s signal flooded into Montreal after sunset … I was a teenager listening to Chuck Leonard every night from 10-midnight … he was an early influence … inspired me to pursue a career in radio …
