The Late George Michael is tagged here doing a great show on WABC from 2/28/77. Notables here include much signal fading and white noise on the tape, which suggests this was recorded some distance away from New York City. No matter, Michael is in top form, as was the norm on the George Michael Show – he never misses a talkup or hitting the post!

These are the pre-disco days of the 1970s. Sure, a few stiffs are sneaking in, like The Sylvers – Hotline, but this is real Top 40 variety, with a generous dose of Jam jingles, Dan Ingram voiced imaging and that hot reverb!

    A professional and class act all the way.

  2. This is “RADIO” …… not the way it used to be…..The way it’s supposed to be !!

  3. Love this aircheck! “Hotline” wasn’t a stiff however, it was a big hit, pure pop confection.
