We used to have a Condo in Inglewood.

Good filming!

Charlie is not only a broadcast LEGEND but a guy a GREAT BIG heart. He DONATED his VO to a friend's ALBUM project that has raised over $30K in sales to support moms in crisis pregnancies keep their baby or give the child up for adoption; saving over 2,750+ innocent lives as of 2024. A TRUE HERO. We attended his funeral. May he rest in glorious peace. Thank you, Charlie.

Charlie was one of the best. Great content, and related to everyone. Great voice and personality.

I remember listening to him on AFN.

My earliest memory of Charlie was his time on KLAC doing standards. Those were the days!

Charlie Tuna kept me going from mid to late mornings when I was assigned to Germany for most of 1979 - 89.

I love me some 80s as well as the 60s & 70s but K-Earth basically sucks now. I miss the "old K-Earth" 101 KRTH.

He and the Real Don Steele were simply put, the best of the best. So different, so quick and bright and funny. Thank you so much for posting.

Don Steele and Charlie...life is good. Thanks Don Sweeney!

Listening to Charlie in Germany on AFN. That made the basement for my love to the USA. Great guy he was.

Thank you Charlie for your years of Radio Broadcasting R.I.P Charlie

Charlie was one of the best ever. An amazing talent.

I listened to that first show on Thanksgiving day in 67. Charlie Tuna was the best DJ of all time.

Remember his voice in TV program Cinema, Cinema, Cinema. Memories from youth )

What is the song that plays right after the weather if you listen closely at 0:21- 0:23?

I listed to him in 1977 and 1978 while stationed in Panama where we had practically no English radio and TV other than Armed Forces Radio and TV Network and he is someone who really stood out as a top DJ. Thank You Charlie for your keeping us entertained. May you RIP

Such a wonderful DJ! Heard him for years in AFN Europe.

Listen to him during the 1980s in Germany 🇩🇪 on AFN radio 📻

Listening to Charlie Tuna on Armed Forces Radio Television Service while overseas. A connection to home. Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this tribute. Charlie Tuna was a great DJ and personality. I remember he also announced on Scrabble which Chuck Woolley hosted. It’s such Charlie passed away at only 71. KRLA 1110AM was a great station with, unfortunately a terrible signal. It was great to hear him list all the stations he worked at.

What a great video! Just visited the Leonis Adobe museum.. I loved it! Sad to know that Miguel Leonis treated Espíritu as a “housekeeper” when she was his wife and birth him a child 😕

his carrier echos ALL great los angles AM and the move through AM to the FM. I remember from khj passed Kroq. early '60's

I will never forget working on a golfcourse near to Usa airforce base Soesterberg, the Netherlands. Every morning a show with Charlie Tuna. I was and still am impressed with his great voice and the way he made his shows. A real radio personality.

I remember Charlie Tuna was filling in for some other DJ at K-Earth. That day was when I first heard him. I don't know what time slot he was on, but I mainly listened to Shotgun Tom Kelly and Christina Kelley.

What a true pro. Fantastic voice, seems good-natured, and did community service as well! No wonder he was given a star on Hollywood Blvd.

Charlie Tuna was the Announcer on SCRABBLE

This is great video

Chuck Woolory always mentioned Charlie's name a lot as the off- camera announcer on his game show Scrabble. Charlie Tuna and Robert W. Morgan were my favorite California Top 40 jocks. Both had great voices and natural impeccable timing.

He skipped the 6month to year he spent at 1170 KCBQ while he was under a no compete on was it KHJ when he left the 1st time. Lived about a quarter mile away from that blowtorch. Daytimes we got the Q on our telephones, under the sound on XETV, pretty much everywhere KIRK MOORE EL CAJON CA

A great drummer and a very nice person.

Don Sweeney! The guy who handled music charts and worked with Shelly Cohen and Doc Severinsen on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson! Author of "Backstage at the Tonight Show."

Thank you for sharing that Don. I really enjoy hearing Charlie tell stories. He was my favorite Boss Jock from 93 KHJ and I 8listened to him on many of the other stations as well. Great personality. Loved the jokes he posted on facebook. He's definitely missed. Thanks again!

Great work, Don! I'd love to get master copies of that footage for our family archives. While we can't offer compensation at this time, we would be willing to compensate and ask permission if used in a film, biopic, digital online enterprise or book on his life we may release in the future. Best, --Daniel Ferguson

Nice job Don Sweeney

Great stuff!

Great video! Like the local flair!
