Jim Ameche 1965




Jim Ameche was known for his soothing sounds, hosting a high-profile easy listening show. His career began in 1930s radio, portraying the original "Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy." After his brother Don Ameche departed from the Chase and Sanborn Show, Jim took over as the announcer, enjoying numerous successes during the Golden Age of Radio. By the 1950s, he had become a successful DJ in Los Angeles and New York, eventually syndicating his show nationwide. It was also during this period that he signed with AFRTS, continuing his career into the 1960s. Jim passed away in 1983.
