The first DJ I ever heard back in 1963. The memories he brings back are wonderful. Way to go, Cousin!

I listened to him in 1960 when I was at the Signal Corps electronics school at Ft Monmouth, NJ.

I was in grade school when Mom bought "Meet The Beatles!" It was the first album of music that I remember playing all day! . 😊

I listened to Cousin Brucie as a teenager (I could pick up Cousin Brucie in Lawrenceville, VA) late night

Cousin Brucie is a national treasure.I've been listening to him since 1964! He is the greatest D J ever! No one can touch him!

86 n still on the radio wow nice

[@michelleaferrandino3487]

You still sound wonderful just like yourself just like always

WCBS 101.1 FM has been the best radio station New York [City] ever had. Cousin Brucie was a disc jockey, a DJ, a radio personality, and a personality through radio. Although I was too little in the 1960s decade to do more than hear the songs and see the record labels, I hope, even pray, that Cousin Bruce will last a lifetime.💙

during the period of 1960 to 1963, my dad was the engineer working for the abc radio shows. he mostly worked with bruce morrow and dan ingram. although he worked with all of them, my father's favorite was bruce morrow. i met him many times and was a terrific person to talk to. good health to you bruce!!!!!!!!

Why is he a hero? The Beatles/English invasion destroyed the careers of hundreds of American music artists great and small. They also opened the door to the sixties drug culture. with all the horrors that caused. Thank you I met one of the "fab four" in a supermarket in Southampton last year, and I felt like saying you guys and all the British invasion guys should have turned around at the airport. They did nothing but injur this country!

Bruce did not introduce "I Want To Hold Your Hand" to New York. Jack Spector did on WMCA on December 26.

Love Cousin Bruce on 77 AM in the 1960’s and on 101.1 CBS-FM!

A man who introduced the Beatles at Shea Stadium. Amazing!

[@jonbutzfiscina1307]

Come on lets go go go, what a grovie show.... with Cousin Brucie. I started listening back when on a crystal set! I still collect radios today. Sounds better on vintage tube radios. Thank you sir, for all the work you have done so all of us listeners could have a good day regardless.

[@lindawright3145]

Go Cuz, Congratulations! I remember listening to you in 1966 with a little transistor radio and listen to him every week-end. No one better then Cousin Brucie!

[@NothingToDismay]

When Yanks say 'In the world' it always means 'in this country'.
