Brad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Dan Ingram, Irreverent DJ, Dies at 83 For those of you not from the New York area, Dan Ingram was a very popular DJ from the early 60s until the 21st Century; I used to listen him on WABC in NY in the mid 60s. Cousin Brucie was also another fixture on WABC. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yes, RIP. I was a WMCA guy, thought they were far superior to WABC (and WMCA's Top 57 was far more eclectic than WABC's Top 25, and went far to shape my musical tastes), but I did enjoy listening to Dan Ingram. There was a keen intelligence behind his patter. I remember a moment on WABC-FM/WPLJ around 1970, when they had a show that brought together a number of jocks from different stations to discuss the "DJ life", as it were. Dan Ingram was talking about The Shocking Blue's "Venus," which was banned on WABC. The Shocking Blue were a Swedish group, and while the song was in english, they sang it with heavy Swedish accents. Ingram said the station banned the song because station mgmt thought the way they sang the word "Venus" sounded too much like "Penis." This was probably the first time I heard the word penis said over the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
