In 1962…Beatles manager Brian Epstein had a chance meeting with engineer Ted Huntly at a London record store. After Epstein related his discouragement about the Decca label rejecting the band, Huntly suggested he send a demo recording of the Beatles to EMI and, in particular, to one of their producers, George Martin.
In 1970...The Beatles released the "Let it Be" album to radio.
In 1982...Ron Lundy does last regular show at 77 WABC, prior to format change to Talk.
Ron was on the air in New York City starting in September 1965, first on the overnight shift at WABC before shifting to middays in 1966. He remained at WABC right up until its last day as a music station on May 10, 1982.
In February 1984, Lundy resurfaced at New York's oldies station WCBS 101.1 FM in the mid-morning slot, following former WABC colleague Harry Harrison. According to program director Joe McCoy, the station created the slot especially for Lundy, reducing other shifts from four hours to three.
Lundy retired from WCBS-FM on September 18, 1997.
He passed away at the age of 75 in Bruce, Mississippi on May 15, 2010.
