Baby Boomers and Iconic DJs of the 1960s (Audio)

The 1960s were a transformative period for radio, with iconic DJs like Wolfman Jack, Casey Kasem, and Alan Freed leaving a lasting impact on the industry. Wolfman Jack's gravelly voice and wild persona made him a staple of late-night radio, while Casey Kasem's smooth, friendly voice became synonymous with American Top 40. Alan Freed, known for popularizing the term "rock and roll," played a crucial role in breaking racial barriers in music by introducing white audiences to African American artists. These DJs not only entertained but also shaped the musical landscape of the 1960’s.
