I don't recall seeing anyone propose veteran Top 40 deejay Johnny Holliday for one of the Sunday evening 'CBS-FM "Radio Greats" shows. He and Cousin Brucie are, I suppose, the last on-air personalities from WINS' Top 40 days who are still working. Although Holliday was at WINS only in 1964-65, that was when the legendary Murray the K was there and when WINS and WABC battled for the attention of Beatles fans. JH's recent autobiography shows he's got great stories to tell from that period. And he still sounds terrific on the radio, as anyone who's heard him do play-by-play for the University of Maryland basketball and football broadcasts can attest. I don't recall that he ever participated in any of the 'CBS-FM Radio Greats Reunion weekends, but perhaps someone on this board can clarify that.
