Robert W. Morgan
on American Top 40

Robert W. Morgan will always be remembered for his on-air performances, but Morgan was also an outstanding voice-over talent. Los Angeles was treated to his expertise as a documentary narrator with The History of Rock 'n' Roll, the original "rockumentary", produced for KHJ in 1969.

In the mid 1970's, Watermark Executive Tom Rounds(American Top 40) teamed with Morgan for a series of syndicated radio specials. The Robert W. Morgan Special of the Week was distributed on vinyl and featured interviews with contemporary music stars. Morgan's smooth style was a perfect match for the high-quality production typical of Watermark. Robert was the guest host for American Top 40 twice, on February 8, 1975, and September 29, 1979.

According to American Top 40: Countdown Of The Century by Rob Durkee, Morgan recorded the September 29th show in record time. "We did it in less than an hour," said Morgan. "Forty-some minutes. Everybody was raving, 'that's the fastest anybody had ever done it, including Casey'".
