Legendary Top 40 Radio personality and Radio Hall of Famer John Records Landecker paid a visit to "The BOB & TOM Show" last week to surprise BOB & TOM cast member Chick McGee on his birthday!

Landecker is a hero to McGee, and it was a very cool birthday surprise for Chick and a treat for BOB & TOM listeners, too.

"The BOB & TOM Show" cast brought listeners up to speed on John, his career in Chicago at WLS 890 AM, and The Boogie Check feature, and had him show off his D.J. talent of "talking up the post", which had everyone laughing. Art Vuolo, "Radio's Best Friend", was in the BOB & TOM studio in Indianapolis to capture all the fun for posterity.

Landecker's middle name, the source of questions throughout his career, was not, as most assumed, a stage name. His mother's maiden name was Records (her full name was Majorie Victoria Records) and was given to him at birth.

"Records truly is my middle name" is a saying Landecker frequently used on the air.
