  • He is Back!

    It is great to have Mister Johnson back for his America’s Top Forties. I was a loyal supporter when he was romping through the Billboard charts of the late fifties and sorely missed him when he had to stop this program.

    America’s Top Forties is energetic and fun. America has lost its reverence for history and this breezy program is the cure.
