I used to listen to Rick Dees in the morning on the way to school. I will never forget his "school lunch menus". LOL . Rick we miss you in Memphis!

[@swinde]

Yeah, that "lunch menu" seemed to always include "Hot Buns". I lived there when he was on WMPS and WHBQ.

[@christine2955]

[@erickflash2546]

Ye capital fm sports with sean cardovilis it was abig show.

[@bryanmbasa9608]

In Uganda too. on capital fm. eeishhh now that was music. Rick Dees and Larry King at the time kinda had a similar aura in Radio/TV, I would say. #classicisGold

[@junixsalinas]

[@fortromuloalmendras2444]

Me too bro..early 90s started listen to his AT 40 countdown show..I record in cassette tape..👍💖🇵🇭

[@joseamador255]

First time I heard of Rick Dees. Now I am like all caught up.

[@StorytimewithMayLynn]

The long scene near the end of Bill Cosby ranting and raving about Rick Dees has NOT aged well.

[@bryanmbasa9608]

In the 90s, majority of the teenagers in Uganda recorded the Rick Dees Countdown over their parents old cassette tapes. I can still vividly hear the Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40 jingle in my head. lol

[@itsjemmabond]

Same thing in Nigeria

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

this is an AMAZING bio/EPK type compilation of video clips! I'm a huge fan of Rick Dees....listening to the Weekly Top 40 every Sunday morning, growing up in Grand Rapids, MI was a tradition for me - but even I learned a lot watching this video! great great job on producing this and assembling all these clips together

[@erickflash2546]

This guy was alegend and icant imagine up to 90s he's show was so cool on capital fm 98.4 in kenya.

[@giggles2302]

I grew up with Rick Dees on 102.7 KIIS FM Los Angeles in the 80s. He was HILARICAL! Hands down, my favorite radio talent ever.

[@jmag579]

Dees Nuts

[@josephtafur]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@abrahamgoodman536]

He was my favorite 90's music show in Saudi Arabia.

[@johnnybmean74]

Now you expect everyone to give a crap. All because you wasted your time on some forgotten Conflict (Non-War).

[@markrodriguez9442]

I didn't know that was Rick Dees was playing the 1950's dj on La Bamba. I thought it was some other guy.

[@ApartmentKing66]

Yeah, Rick played KFWB's Ted Quillan. Whoever wrote this copy screwed up Ted's last name. It wasn't "Quinlan."

[@hollyprincipato3287]

I just love the song, Disco Duck. Still a great song!

[@Manji29]

Awesome guy!!

Born Rigdon Osmond Dees III

[@CodenameApollo]

What was the name of the show is starting at @0:29? I need to look it up

[@DC-vv5ii]

OK, ya, but in all honesty, anyone coming out with something like Dis Gorilla needs their voice box cut out.

[@lylewood2029]

Rick Dees... a man desperately trying to be funny.

[@ApartmentKing66]

Not a fan?
