Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" Intro + Theme Song & #1 Song (May 14, 1977) 

I was 16 in 1977 and me and my family lived next to Bremerhaven and we could listen to AFN there, the favourite for me and my brothers and sisters was C.K's American Top 40....i will never forget...

Casey had a rich, buttery tone to his voice. I listened to the A.T. 40 with Casey's voice as he "counted down the most popular songs in America". It became a past time of mine from 1987 until my College years in the mid-1990s. He was the biggest reason I became such a pop music fan. May Uncle Casey R.I.P. 💖

I have been a fan of Casey Kasem for years.🙂

Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars. Rest peacefully, Casey.

Great 😃👍 Memories from 1977. I used to American Top 40 Every Sunday during the 70s and Early 80s. My Sundays were always complete. Thank You and God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 You SIR CASEY KASEM AND MR LEO SAYER.

90s kids- “This is Casey Kasem with your weekend top 40”

Thank you for your show hosting memories, Casey Kasem. Rest in peace. We will never forget you.

1977! Sonntag nachmittag! Radio auf Mittelwelle - Suchen / Rauschen und dann: "Here is AFN Nürnberg / Germany. Here is Casey Kasem and "American Top Fouuuurtieee!" Werde ich niemals vergessen! 4 Stunden lang immer die neuesten Hits aus dem Land unserer Träume.....(damals)

Casey kasem was the best,I usted to listen to AT 40 every weekend 😢

We need more people like you Casey - thank you for everything and all that you taught us!!! - and thank you 70's on 7 and WWSW Pittsburgh for the reruns you play.

Good Day My Birthday when this was Aired. I have the original issue LP. I heard the entire countdown 2 Years ago as a re-Airing of this original program. I recall listening to this as a new program back in the 1980's. I would have heard a few of the (late) 1970's ones but don't recall them anymore. Thanks for posting this!

Thank you Casey for ALL you've done all these years. You will be missed,

Still got this 45 record!!!!

RIP, Casey....Thanks for the impact that you made, on the music world & SO many people (including me, of course!!)

R.I.P. we learned soo much from you, Thank you

R.I.P. Casey Kasem! You'll live forever in my memories!

Thanks Casey. 14 May 77, I was a Sgt in the Marine Corps and waiting to be dischared after 4 years in the Corps. Casey thanks for being there 5 October 1973 - 4 October 1977 Semper Fi.

Man this harkens back to my AM radio days when I was a part-time DJ while in college. In fact, I always began my Sunday shift by playing AT40. Upside was the final 2 hours of my show usually captured top ratings in the market, thanks to Casey.

Thanks ... sure brings back the goose bumps! And I thought I was a nut case to have sat next to the Redifussion Box every week copying down the top 40 hits and then listen to Casey signing off 4 hours later ... Keep your feet on the ground ...

Poor little Leo... 😁

懐かしい声だなあ。意味はよく分からなくても声は忘れられません。ご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。

Thank you Casey for everything you did for soooo long !! I’ve heard countless countdowns way back from when you started in July of 1970 !! Now you are no longer here with us in person but you’re countdown is still going strong on satellite radio on weekends across the land and I listen to the A Top 40 each and every Sunday morning on Sirius xm 70s on 7 and thoroughly enjoy going down memory lane with you ❤️

Rock on in peace, Casey.....

Moncton's 103.9 Max FM plays vintage 'AT40' every weekend mornings...the '80s every Saturday, and the '70s every Sunday.

RIP FROM A PUERTO RICAN FAN EDWIN RODRIGUEZ. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

WoooooW! Memories!!! Really great!!! Used to listen to it in Germany on AFN Munich in the 70s & 80s!

Schuckatoom!

I just love this program I just wish they would put these out on c.d. I have some of these shows on albums but I no longer have a way to play them any more!!

Used to listen to him in Turkey on AFN 1977.

Shuckatoom!

Cacey was the best!

It's spelled Nikki Wine FYI. It's always nice to hear the Shukatoom Theme!!!!!

I MISS THIS ! Hootie HOOT !

Does anyone have a recording of Casey at WTAC AM 600 in Flint, MI in the 60's?

I think at the time this was on radio station 1260 WMGC AM.

I Would Have Like To Hear Casey Kasem Do The Top 20 Oldies Countdown On WCBS-FM New York, As a Substitute For Bobby Jay Or Norm N Nite.

love it! Too bad his life ended so lousy...

WMGCAM is, Or should I say, was in Cleveland, Ohio. That's where I currently live.

Ha ha, they didn't beat up "poor Leo" for grabbing the mike away; they beat him up for singing like he was castrated! He got better, though. "You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'" was like fingernails on a blackboard, but I actually bought "How Much Love". :-/ As for CK, it was KJR Seattle Channel 95 back in the day where I lived!

Correct me if I'm wrong but "When I Need You" was played after "Sir Duke" a tribute to Duke Ellington.

You swiped that from a Premiere Radio re-release of this episode (else the "Shuckatoom" theme would have played to the end)

Are we honoring Casey Kasem or making love in this video

Where is 1260 WMGC AM?

At 1:48, please correct the spelling of the word "anxious"

"anchious" ???

Casey kasem in 1970s look like Michael Landon in 1960s

Shuckatoom!
