Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.......

The immortal tag line of the American Top 40 with Casey Kasem who passed away this morning at the age of 82.

His last few years have been sad as he has suffered with Parkinson's and dementia in the midst of a feud between his wife and grown children from a previous marriage.



he had such a unique soothing voice and I for one never missed his countdown show during the 70's and 80's, I especially loved the long distance dedications.


RIP Casey, you're among the stars now.

He did the voice for a few Transformers characters in the 80s cartoon and Shaggy from Scooby, too.

RIP

When I used to track countdowns before stuff was widespread on the net I never missed his on Sunday morning, finding a way to record it if I had to. So it goes.
