LOS ANGELES (AP) — Casey Kasem, the smooth-voiced radio broadcaster who became the king of the top 40 countdown, has died at age 82.

Danny Deraney, publicist for Kasem's daughter, Kerri, says Kasem died Sunday morning.

Kasem's "American Top 40" began on July 4, 1970, in Los Angeles. The No. 1 song on his list then was "Mama Told Me Not to Come," by Three Dog Night.

The show continued in varying forms — and for varying syndicators — until his retirement in 2009. In his signoff, he would tell viewers: "And don't forget: keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."

I can't come out of an uptempo post into a thread about a DJ dying!

I still remember the first time I listened to him... driving to church on a sunday morning, and he was hyping "Eye of the Tiger" by survivor... up a few spots I think... I was a wee lad....

RIP to the best cartoon voice man this side of Mel Blanc

Yep, I was much more familiar with him as Shaggy.

 
Consistently listened to him on America's Top 40 when I was a teenager and loved fm radio.... I was always disappointed if I accidentally tuned into Rick Dees instead.

Great voice man as well.
