- WLS 89 Chicago - John Landecker - July 24 1978 - Radio Aircheck
John Records Landecker is a radio legend. His radio career spans more than 50 years! His contributions to music radio were so widely respected, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland saw fit to feature him in their radio exhibit. John has entertained radio audiences in Michigan (WOIA, WERX, WTRX, WILS), Philadelphia (WIBG), Chicago (WLS-multiple times, WLUP, G-106, WCKG, WJMK, & WGN), Toronto (CFTR) and Cleveland (Power 108). When he was working at WLS in the 1970s, John was named Billboard Magazine’s Radio Personality of the year. Landecker is the author of “Records Truly Is My Middle Name” (2013), and has released six CDs of his work; “Landecker & The Legends” (’94), “Landecker & The Legends, Volume 2″ (’95), “Baby Boomers” (’96), “Live Long & Perspire” (’97), “Landecker & The Legends, Volume 5″ (’98), and “20th Century Hits and Bits” (’99).
These days, Landecker works on air at Chicago’s 720 WGN, & and he still does Boogie Check on air! And yes, as he will tell you, Records truly is his middle name.
Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008!
One of You Tube's oldest RADIO AIRCHECK MUSEUM with a NEW VIDEO posted daily at 3PM EST.
After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.
You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.
We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!
We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook: / ellisairchecks - Hudba
This brings back memories. I laid in bed as a teenager listening from Ontario Canada on a farm. Chicago was a world away...I thought it must be an incredibly cool place.It blew my mind that I could pick up a station so far away.
WLS was one of the best stations back than & so full of personality.
Landecker: "Say 'Goodnight, John.'"
The C-Kid: "Goodnight, John!"
The C-Kid was easily Boogie Check's most frequent caller.
I wish I could turn back time.
“Still The Same” Bob Seger on WLS is still a haunting sound.
Love it.
One of the first songs he played on his first show on CFTR in '81.
That call-in had some funny bits. Ok, these folks went across the spectrum with Sister Golden Hair, ABBA & A Taste of Honey, to Foghat & Blue Oyster Cult! With a splash of Grease here and there!!!😉
John's got it all! Energy, excitement talking up the songs, perfect timing, engaging with the audience, relating, teasing, along with some
great pipes! Radio was truly at its very best.
Loved this as a young teen
Always enjoyed listening to JRL back in the day, still listening to him on WGN today.
Wow! Hearing all of those station call letters blows my mind! Haven’t heard those in 30 years.
Records truly is his middle name!
One of my favorite jocks from the Top 40 era!
Experienced popularity of John Records Landecker while watching last worthless game of 1989 Chicago White Sox season v. Cleveland at Comiskey Park. Fans in left field lower deck saluted Steve Lyons by chanting "Psycho! Psycho! Ooh-ah!" mimicing Landecker's Boogie Check opening.
Ellis, thank you so much for this. I absolutely love these ones from the latter part of the 70s when his radio voice was starting to converge with his real voice.
I did notice that I seem to hear more earlier audio, or 80s audio, but not a lot from the late 70s, so I tried to post a few.
Great stuff
A great aircheck of an excellent talent!
I knew I heard Fancy's version of Wild Thing!
Also: "Where are they now" about Three Dog Night ... wow
More fun from WLS.
The guy won a Moped. LOL haven't heard about those in years.
YEARS!!!! He didn't exactly sound enthused...maybe he was surprised beyond words!
@@louisb5563 I noticed that too
@@louisb5563 At first he sounded like he thought it was some sort of gimmick! Then he realized it wasn't!
@@ChrisSpil I can believe that!👍🏻 "I won...a moped...really? Ok, great I've never one anything before"!
Haha, I just heard a local news story tonight about somebody having an accident on a moped! I hadn't heard about them in years either!
Night time in the South....WLS
This supersedes my last posting. Was that an F-bomb at 25:50?
01:45 ... My mother had this album. Peter Brown.
Media has changed so much since this era. Back then, it was OK for the audience to be equally witty as the radio hosts and to challenge them. Today, audiences are expected to be submissive, intellectually limited sheep.
HEY ELLIS DO YOU HAVE ANY BEATLES STUFF FROM WABC WLS KHJ ?
I definitely have some from WABC. The others I’m not sure.
Was than an F-bomb at 24:49?
25:48 ... obviously, WLS 89 didn't have time-delay in those days. LOL!
25:54 ... Nice comneback!
Worlds Largese Store WLS 89 Next youu Tell me WCFL/SEARS IS BROKE GOOD A/C DJ RADIO TALENT
For a short time WLS and 1000 AM were sister stations. It was the early part of the century. They were both ABC-owned.
