AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
For weeks of May 5-12, 2013
Edition #731

Talent: BOB SHANNON
Station: WCBS-FM New York
Date: May 15, 1998
Time: 54:11 (unscoped)

It was a fitting tribute to one of the 20th century's greatest performers, by one of New York's leading jocks.

Within hours of Frank Sinatra's death at the age of 82, Bob Shannon devoted an entire hour of his afternoon drive show on WCBS-FM to Ol' Blue Eyes. Skilfully mixing archival tape with a selection of Sinatra's greatest hits, Shannon put together a tribute worthy of The Voice. It was business as usual for Shannon, whose show for years included regular historical segments like "Rockeology", "Hands Across the Water" and "First and Fourmost."

Enjoy Bob Shannon's tribute to Frank Sinatra on WCBS-FM here.
