Kingsley died on Oct. 17th just 8 days after making his announcement that he was stepping down from his radio show "Country Top 40" to fight bladder cancer.
Bob hosted "American Country Countdown" for 27 years and his voice was always a welcome one one the weekends. He and Kasem were the guys I hung out with on weekends listening to the radio.
Kingsley began producing "American Country Countdown" the year after Don Bustany and Casey Kasem started the program and he later became host in 1978 after Don Bowman.
Kingsley built a huge audience of fans around the world with his smooth radio voice and very friendly manner. A radio legend is gone, but never forgotten. He was 80.
