Casey "Top 40" Kasem signs off after 39

On July 4, 1970, of of American radio's most recognizable voices, that of Casey Kasem, was first heard on the show Kasem created, "Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Countdown."

Yesterday Casey made it 39. Years that is. The July 4 broadcast was his last. Although he gave over the AT40 show to other hosts years ago, he continued to broadcast a couple of spinoffs. But no more. He's retired.

Casey Kasem's voice will be etched in my head forever. Like Phil Rizzutto broadcasting the New York Yankee's. It's the voice of my childhood memories. Simplier times - great times. Times that were not spent in front of the TV, Computer or pre-recorded downloads on the IPOD. Just listening to the radio and running to hit the "record" button on the cassette player to tape your favorite songs. Best wishes to Casey . . and thanks for the memories!
