77 WABC New York - 1/23/69 - Dan Ingram

[@rstefanie2622]

As someone who grew up in North Jersey WABC was everywhere. Absolutely a time warp for me. Love the commercials too.

[@larzybernard9617]

This is so cool!! I grew up just outside of NY in NJ in the '60s listening to Dan Ingram and Cousin Bruce Morrow. Thank you very much!

[@glennspitzer3601]

WABC was everywhere in 1969. Everyone on the beach had their transistor radio tuned to 77. Dan Ingram, Harry Harrison, Bruce Morrow , and even Howard Cosell, made this a special time in AM radio. I smile everyone I listen to these clips.

[@c.a.g.3130]

EVERYwhere!

[@statesideqsod]

At Nags Head NC you could also hear WABC on the beach along with all the big NY AM stations that came in great, over the water from NY.

[@teachone2261]

I play these because I was a child that used to listen all the time to 77 WABC ! Trenton NJ was my home and the 60s were THE BOMB !!!!

[@sambradley1968]

From 1972 until he retired in the early '00s, Big Dan was a part of my life, & made the afternoon truly a delight. 😊📻

[@bighuge1060]

It was this year my parents moved us all from New York to Northern New Jersey where we remained for 52 years. I love listening to this as WABC was our main and strongest station.

[@cerliezio]

Wabc was everywhere, Wherever I went it came with me on my car stereo. stopped at the local store and WABC was on. Stopped at any gas station to fill up and check the tires and it was on. Went to the beach (Orchard Beach in the Bronx or Rye Beach)and everybody was tuned in on their little transistor radio. Stopped at the red light and it came on from the car next to me.

[@garyhecksel4809]

RIP Great memories from my time in NY listening to WABC in the late 60's early 70's.

[@RonDylewski]

Amazing talent. Sounds like he could be doing this today. I feel lucky that I listened to him live for years!

[@leebailey6698]

[@garyhanlon6055]

I grew up listening to 77 WABC . Dan Ingrahm, Joey Reynolds, Ron Lundy, Harry Harrison, Cousin Bruce, Don Imus, Herb Oscar Anderson and the rest. they truly were the cast of the Golden years of radio. 👏🙏

[@Billybike1]

He was hysterical! I heard him once say "that was Spank Me and Our Gang" and "She's a Muscular Boy" for A Must to Avoid by Herman's Hermit's cracked me up.. He was great for doing that, gr8 sense of humor!

[@if6was929]

He also called The Partridge Family, The Partridge Cartridge, LOL!

[@Billybike1]

That's what made him so gr8 and a revered DJ was his sense of humor. It was like listening to a comedy show everytime he came on the air. I listen to some of his old broadcasts and still crack up. Another funny character was "The Greaseman"..

Radio wabc made my life fantastic/ thanks Dan Ingram !!!!!!

[@arthureverett8220]

RIP Big Dan Ingram. I grew up listening to him on WABC and CBS fm

[@77WABC]

DAN , Saying Groovy several times , sign of the times in 1969 ..

[@michaelcranstoun8296]

Listen near 11:11 he's reading a commercial for" A&P Italian sausage, your choice hot or sweet for $.79 cents a pound." He was trying not to laugh. Incredible talent.

[@karlhelm875]

what was so funny?

[@michaelcranstoun8296]

I think he must have been thinking about the sexual innuendo of the ad. He had a "twisted " sense of humor, that was what made him great. But this was a "family show " so any jokes are tongue in cheek so to speak.

[@TheRangerforever]

He was laughing.

[@sambradley1968]

I miss Dan Ingram & WABC. 😢📻

[@richarddambrosio3602]

Love Dan's "Do it" over the long intro to the Doors' "Touch Me." No one does radio like this any more.

[@percyholland5592]

Dan Ingram. We'll miss ya, Keemo-Sabe.

[@robmorrison1043]

What is sad is that if he used Kermo- Sabe today, he would be boycotted, banned, fired, made to apologize, take a knee and the station would be having protests in front of the building.

[@DateTwoRelate]

Wasn't Dan on his game on THIS particular cold NYC winter day? Beginning with a "four-letter word" reference and it only got better from there!

[@lauradaly8110]

In between the music, there were quite a lot of commercials.

I remember in '69 (WHAT a great! year: the Mets, the Jets, the Knicks, all champs AND we land on the moon. Amazing year!) when I was 12, sitting up all night on New Years Eve and New Years Day, when WABC played EVERY song in the "Top 100" music power survey, so I could record them all on my Radio Shack cassette recorder.

[@AMEER-114-]

Yeah... All true.. Except for that "moon" buisness...

[@c.a.g.3130]

[@chrisneidenberg3509]

Just seems silly that (for most historical WABC MusicRadio airchecks it seems) the full versions of almost 50-year-old pop songs cannot be played. Some dumb copyright rule, I imagine, and I suppose the "copyright cops" are constantly trolling these websites to see what's going on. Can anyone cite the specific federal law that disallows this, and how does playing the full versions of these songs now, as it happened then for historical purposes , make the (I'm sure now many defunct) record companies, the songwriters, groups or solo artists (or their estates) that much poorer? How is it that You Tube allows the posting of many of the recordings of these songs themselves - from albums or singles - to be played in full?

[@joefriedmanfriedman3087]

They always cut a Jock's radio air check from Rap to Rap, with minimal music track presence, this actually has longer music clips than are typical on these builds.📻📻

[@garytorresani8846]

It has nothing to do with music copyright laws. This is an air check done so the DJ could listen to his work after his show. It activated when the mic turned on. The DJ wasn’t interested in the music. I was in the business for years and air checked all my shows for that reason.

[@PeterDrewVoiceovers]

Was in the business, too. Commonly callled a 'scoped aircheck, short for telescoped aircheck. Dan was a big inspiration for me, a major reason I spent 25 years in radio. I love coming across these airchecks on KZbin, checking in once again with "the Ingram mess."

Good old memories

[@chrisneidenberg3509]

Updating my last post, I do see at least two other WABC YT airchecks, from Nov. 28, 1980 and July 1970, have the full songs playing. Did these good people/posters, willing to share them with us for our enjoyment, agree to pay copyright licensing fees to like BMI and AFSCAP so they could have the full songs heard? I am also aware that on-air talent, for like job-searching purposes, will provide "scoped" airchecks that have the full songs erased, to save time. But I'm pretty sure this January 1969 recording was home-recorded.

[@pressureworks]

Remember when American Pie was played on WABC then after it ended you'd switch to WNBC and they just started playing it.

[@jazzholdouts5896]

He played the Beatles,”A Day In The Life” which was banned from a.m. radio immediately after.I’d love to hear his comment after again, it began with “I can’t play that record anymore”

My favorite radio station in 1960s Mad Men era NYC! Dan Ingram, Murray the K! Number 1 hits of the month past! For today, well I don't know. That is how far down TV and radio is due to political correctness, identity politics, liberals, socialists and Social Justice Warriors!

[@lalumia]

Dan Ingram!! did i ever tell ya bout the time I was driving on the LIE and Dan had received an angry letter from me and while Im driving I hear " I got a letter in the mail from someone or SOMETHING called LaLumia..."(I was being fancy and just used my last name) I almost spiraled into a side rail when he went into a two or three minute tirade, it was a total 'holy shit' moment for me, I listened every day and never heard him do that before or after..of course it was about THE SUPREMES (70's version), what else?

[@lalumia]

If someone has an aircheck with that please let me know..I was driving and obviously didn't know a verbal assault was headed my way or I'd have been home with the tape recorder on standby
