SUNDAYS!!!!! At the Los Angeles Public Library (Homage Promotion)



Jan C. Gabriel, 1940-2010: Drag-strip radio ad announcer famous for 'Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!' (Chicago Tribune, 1/13/2010)

Full throttle. A disc jockey who got his start doing sock hops, he had gained notice in racing circles with scintillating descriptions of the action at Santa Fe Speedway in Willow Springs. He read Christ's script once, and Cronen knew he had his man. "It was the excitement, the way he delivered that line. No one else was able to do that," Cronen said. "That's because he really loved racing."
