Two broadcasting legends.

Rick is a great guy. When he was in Birmingham, Alabama at WSGN, he and fellow DJ, Jim Tyler made all my intros when I became a DJ at WVSU / Samford University. Long time no see but great memories from Memphis and LA. Keep on building, Rick. You’ve inspired and entertained millions.

Did you ever happen to know or work with Rob Moree (Hall) in Memphis? He might have been a DJ at that radio station also if you knew Rick Dees, you might have known him. Any information you could give me would be incredibly helpful.

I remember John Long hiring Rick away from WMPS.

Many decades later Rick Dees is still all over the airwaves with the weekly top 40.

Lo and behold, Rick Dees would later announce Saturday morning bumpers on CBS!!!

Dick referenced this interview when he was on Into The Night with Rick Dees (ABC’s short-lived attempt to battle Johnny Carson and Arsenio Hall)…which, ironically, was taped on the same stage as Bandstand!

Rick voice never change till now..

[@tamaraknox2185]

Love this song

[@LogoMan7777]

Little did Dick know that not only would Dick hire Rick for a radio show (The Rick Dees Weekly Top 40), but that Rick and Dick would compete for ratings. (Mostly because Rick hosted Solid Gold from 1984-85)

[@bradlafferty6076]

His dream is for next year the greatest movie ever made comes out...Saturday Night Fever, his song Disco Duck is in the movie and his agent mails in the song late to get on the #1 selling album in the history of the world. That's what waiting for Rick Dees.

[@LogoMan7777]

This song was featured in the movie Saturday Night Fever but was not included on its soundtrack album.

​@@LogoMan7777Plus another one of his songs DOCTOR DISCO, also featured in the movie & not the soundtrack
