Praise For
"I can't imagine anyone giving a more honest account of the American Top 40 story than Rob Durkee has."   
                -- Casey Kasem
                   Host, AT40







"Rob Durkee's book is the definitive account of a radio phenomenon, and there is no one more uniquely qualified to tell the story.  He has fanatically researched and documented everything in extraordinary detail, and has probably listened to every show ever recorded several hundred times.  It is certainly a labor of love."        
               -- Shadoe Stevens
                  Former host, AT40




"Rob Durkee's remarkable book,
American Top 40: The Countdown of the Century, is detailed and fun reading.  It's the story of the 'granddaddy of all the countdown shows'...the one everyone else has copied, including me."
               -- Dick Clark
