Title: OBIT - Tom Rounds
Post by: dheine1971 on June 05, 2014, 09:37:56 PM

Tom Rounds, who helped launch the long running radio countdown show American Top 40 (AT40 for short) with original 1970-1988 and 1998-2004 host Casey Kasem and co-produced Don Bustany, died this week on June 2, 2014 at the age of 77.

This is definitely sad news for those of us who grew up listening to Casey's Top 40.  Of course, Rounds' death could not have come at a worse time, as Casey himself has been gravely ill for a few months and Casey's wife and daughter are currently in a legal dispute over who should take care of him.

All this happens just as I discover Casey Kasem's American Top 40 through the '70s and '80s reruns. Rest in peace to Tom Rounds.
