Boston radio DJ Dale Dorman has died. He joined WRKO-AM in 1968, the same year that WBCN-FM went from Classical to counter-culture. Dale provided the perfect contrast to the underground sound of ‘BCN. He was a DJ with a distinctive voice and personality that was just right for the Top 40 format — top 30 at ‘RKO — and he was essential to helping ‘RKO become a longtime ratings leader.
OMG!!! I cannot BELIEVE that Dale has left us!
Oh! How welI recall him on WRKO. Living in Worcester back in the heyday of WRKO, I would listen to Dale every day! He was truly a unique personality. Always witty, fun and “Off the cuff” Dale would make me smile by just hearing his voice.
Like the song says: “How it seems the good they die young. I just looked around and he’s gone.”
Rest in peace!
