Casey Kasem, who was insturmental in Americia's pop music scene in the early 70's passed today at 82.

For those of us from that era, his contribution will never be forgotten.

Part of my teen years, when radio was cool and diverse. He'll be missed.

Been following that one for a while and it was just a matter of time once his daughter got permission to withhold food and start the "end of life" process. Very sad indeed. I used to listen to him all the time.

Pretty sad how it became a cash grab between the family members at the end.

He was an iconic voice. As a kid, I would listen to his Top 40 program every week. I also distinctly remember his "letters" from listeners.

Sad way to end his life like Ted Williams with everybody fighting. See, that's why it's good to blow your life savings before you die. Nothing to fight over! I won't say on what, but I do have some ideas!

It seems to be that way, more often than not.

Great voice to be sure and part of the American culture back in the day. Here's my favorite piece of audio from him. Careful if you're listening to this at work.
