CHARLIE GREER - 77 WABC RADIO - 1967

Back


77 WABC- This is New York radio from January 1967, featuring overnight deejay, Charlie Greer.

We've edited the music for time & space - but then, you know all the songs anyway. What we have is all the deejay patter, WABC jingles, and classic commercials for Pepsi Cola, U.S. Navy, and the legendary Dennison Men's Clothiers (Route 22 - Union, New Jersey) where "Money Talks and Nobody Walks".

Finally, Charlie Greer will blow your mind and flip your lid with the sultry sounds of "The Chicken Song".

The Monkees...The Blues Magoos...Frank
Sinatra...and singing chickens. Put 'em all together, and they spell W-A-B-C.

Charlie Greer is a true radio broadcasting legend.

Charlie Greer was on WABC all night in the mid 60s. I was going to college in Illinois, and used to listen to him every night. WABC was 50,000 Watts/Clear Channel and was heard in 37 states.

WABC is has not only been an all-talk station since 1982, but is now equally as legendary as one as it was a music station. WABC currently pays homage to its music heritage every Saturday night, usually from 6:00-10:00 PM Eastern Time with "Saturday Night Oldies," hosted by Mark Simone, and each Memorial Day goes back and plays actual shows from WABC's music days on "Rewound."

I loved WABC. Your father was great! Last of the good rock radios in the U.S.

Thanks a million, bwgreer. Your dad brought a lot of class to the overnight shift at WABC. His "Denison's Clothiers" spots are legendary.

bw, I feel blessed to have lived in Norwalk, CT, as a kid during WABC's heydey. I grew up in a dysfunctional family (who didn't?) and WABC, your dad, Cousin Brucie, Dan Ingram, those jingles, commercials, meant SO MUCH to me and my siblings. Crap, now I'm crying.

This really took me back...Thank You!
