Ron Lundy RIP

Ron Lundy - RIP

“Hello, Love — this is Ron Lundy from the greatest city in the world!” I consider myself lucky to have grown up in the late 60's through the 70's in the NYC metro area for one reason - I was fortunate enough to enjoy the tail end of real top 40 AM radio. And Ron Lundy was a big reason to enjoy it. Watch the beginning montage of New York City in Midnight Cowboy - that's Ron's voice you'll hear (see below). Visit MusicRadio77 for more information on Ron including airchecks.

This WABC aircheck, from December 1969, courtesy of MusicRadio77, is a great place to start.
