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)
