New Novel by Chris Ingram Goes Behind the Scenes of Top 40 Radio’s Turbulent Heyday
Oakland Park, FL (PRWEB) August 27, 2014 -- Radio Hall of Famer “Big” Dan Ingram’s storied career ended at the top of the radio ladder, but it didn’t start there. As a young man desperate to reach the summit, he criss-crossed the country, growing family in tow, before reaching his goal of fame and fortune at WABC in New York City, notes this new novel. There, he worked alongside fellow stars Bruce Morrow, Chuck Leonard and Ron Lundy.
Dan and his cohorts led charmed lives with access to the hottest spots and all the hottest women they could handle. Chris Ingram pulls back the curtain on these wizards of the airwaves, providing an imaginative behind-the-scenes view of the performers and their times. Despite all the benefits of fame, they also suffered their share of heartbreaking loss, rising above their private pain to keep the city rocking. “Hey Kemosabe! The Days (and Nights) of a Radio Idyll” is a sensitive, fun-filled flashback to a time when Rock and Roll ruled the airways, and the men who spun the discs were kings.
Author Chris Ingram, son of “Big” Dan Ingram, has a unique insight into the world of the Top 40 personality disc jockey. He followed in his father's footsteps, spending more than 20 years as a news writer, deejay and broadcaster.
