JACK ARMSTRONG
CHUM Toronto
February 13, 1969 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Doug Thompson/CHUM)

Seventeen years ago, top 40 radio lost a giant.

Jack Armstrong, whose real name was John Larsh, died after a fall at his home in High Point, North Carolina. He was 62. Armstrong jocked all over North America during his career of nearly 50 years. His only Canadian stop was CHUM, where he entertained from June 1968 to February 1969. This is one of his last shows there.

Enjoy Jack Armstrong on CHUM on from February 13, 1969 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.
