AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1287 - March 17, 2024


JACK ARMSTRONG
KKHR Los Angeles
November 11, 1984 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Bill Dulmage)

Sixteen years ago, Top 40 radio lost a legend.

 Jack Armstrong, who the Guinness Book of World Records once cited as the fastest-talking human alive, died after a fall at his home in High Point, North Carolina. Big Jack worked at some two dozen stations around North America including CHUM Toronto in 1968-69. One of those was the short-lived Los Angeles rocker, KKHR.

Enjoy Jack Armstrong on KKHR from November 11, 1984 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.
