BOB CRUZ, MARC SOMMERS
WABC New York
November 28, 1979 (UNSCOPED)
(Contributor: Joe Fazio)
When Dan Ingram moved to
mornings in November 1979, WABC had the perfect choice to replace him.
Bob Cruz - who sounded exactly like Ingram and was hired because of it
- took over afternoon drive and it was like nothing had changed. Cruz
had Ingram's mannerisms and style down pat - it's like the station had
TWO Dan Ingrams. What a find! Also on this aircheck: smooth-sounding
Marc Sommers.
Enjoy Bob Cruz & Marc
Sommers on WABC New York from November 29, 1979 (UNSCOPED) ... in the
Aircheck of the
Week.
NEXT UPDATE: December 4
