I also wish Big Dan a Happy Birthday. The greatest Top 40 DJ of all time. God bless Dan.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Dan Ingram was one of the most flattered guys to ever crack a mic. From the mid-60s to the late 70s you could travel the east coast and hear dozens of guys who tried (in vain) to be a "local" Dan Ingram, right down to failing miserably at dropping a short sing jingle in front of the vocal.

Happy birthday Big Dan. I still laugh and scratch whenever I listen to an aircheck of you.

There was a guy on WMID sounded just like Ingram (the voice) in Atlantic City. Of course WABC itself had a DJ ON the station that sounded like Dan Ingram (Bob Cruz). Happy 77th Dan!
