Yessuh, Mistuh Dees. Very possibly I listened to this live on that date, as a young punk 5th grader in West TN. To this day I occasionally answer "yes" in the style of "The Boss"...loved to get ready for school with this show playing in the background. Good times.
Man this is great. Brings back memories. I was an Jr.in high school. East High. Graduated in 78. Rick Dee's was a must every morning before school and on the way to school.
I think it was a co-worker from Memphis who told me Dees had a "cart" deck with nothing but sound effects - at least three machines, I'd guess. In the modern computer age, he'd probably have many more lined up.
Janet O'Connor: When Rick Dees originally played "Disco Duck" on the radio, he worked as a disc jockey at Memphis radio station WMPS; they fired him for playing "Disco Duck" on his radio show and rival radio station WHBQ scooped him up.
Rick Dees was the coolest DJ he wood Challenge the wrestler Jerry Lawler to a radio match and the mayor of Memphis to a row boat race across the Mississippi River he heard about Elvis giving a DJ a new Mercedes out west when he heard his car broke down so he announced on the radio Elvis if you are listening my car is running awful rough this morning
That shot is one of the many PR photos I took of Dees for Freetone Records back when the Disco Duck was just coming out.
Listened to Rick Dees every morning as my dad drove me to school.
Me too. The morning show in early 2000s
@@mrtechpat It was in the mid 1970s when I heard him. We lived in Memphis.
I lived in Florida at the time . He was on KLLS FM in LA
I’m from Memphis
He went back to Memphis couple years ago not sure if he’s still there or not

Damn...brings back memories.
Graduated from 8th grade the day before this clip, 6/1/1977. Such wonderful memories😀😀
Rick Dees Sleez! I know I'm ahead of myself with that segment since it came along after 1980
Yayyyyy
Rick was so freakin' funny!
Still is
Interesting how many of these same sounds effects he used at KIIS in LA.

He never played it, just talked about it...Fired him over the fact he could not keep his mouth shut.

I worked the overnight shift at hbq..called Dee's to wake him..I remember all these sfx..good jock..his pd & the rest..sexual harassment.
"Chuck Wagon" sounds almost like that preacher who used to troll Coast to Coast AM, J.C. Webster the Third.
Who is Sid Leak who wanted to drive a tank in the Army but was told that the only tank he was good for was a septic tank? I find it funny!
No suh mista Dees

Memphis legend Jack Parnell on the McDonalds spot at 14:16 in. too bad it was cut!
KIIS FM 102.7 Los Angeles
Met him as a teenager. He bettered himself. Was happy for him.
Yes when Rick Dees Peaked in the 1980's and 1990's until Seacrest took over his LA Spot.
Memphis was indeed covered with sin in 1977 and it was a fun place to live. I indulged in debauchery of all kinds.
me too
Sounds pretty disrespectful. That can be fixed.
