WOW!!!! Thank you for the wonderful memories of growing up in NYC in the 1960's. I will always remember 1964---- HOA on W-A-BEATLE-C

Herb Oscar was the BEST morning man WHO EVER LIVED! There will never be another.

The best radio that there ever was!

Thanks for sharing this,,,, i grew up in nyc and remember him well

I was a boy in the early 60s I would remember HOA in the morning it was like part of my DNA I couldn't forget it. I sometimes wouldn't think of him for years and I'd think about the song Hello Again and it all floods back That song is part of my early childhood . Good by HOA and I thank you so very very much. Dover New Jersey.

Now live in Texas but grew-up as a teen in northern Jersey during the 60s and listened to all those great WABC names (HOA, Ingraham, cousin Brucie, Scott Muni, Ron Lundi) on my 6-transistor portable, taking all of this for granted as if it would last forever. The innocence of youth. Thanks for posting Art. Brings back some wonderful memories.

I guess i picked the wrong moment to listen. Cant stop crying. How I miss such great civility of that man. And that song. I, too, woke up to Herb each morning. God bless you, Herb.

I'm 76 years old now and I grew up listening to HOA . Best years of my life. New York Radio " THE BEST "

Wow! What a wonderful Tribute. I lived on Long Island and grew up with Herb Oscar Anderson. My favorite was him singing That Happy Feeling. I was so sad to hear he has passed away. Thank God Cousin Brucie is still around. I live in Florida and listen to him on my Sirius every Wednesday and Saturday. So many happy memories. Those years were the Best!

Utterly fantastic production!

HOA was so great! I listened to him every morning when I got up! Met him once at a Radio Conference...wonderful man!

HERB OSCAR ANDERSON was a great DJ.I met him when he was on WOR RADIO 710 he was frist on subtleting for JOHN GAMBLING when JOHN was on vacation, for a few weeks. I met him on afternoon before he did his show he was on WOR around the BYECENTINAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 1975-1976

Very nice job Art. Thanks so much.

HOA was the jock I listened to on my transistor radio- WABC is in my heart forever- thanks herb for being a fab memory !!!!

This is my first time hearing Herb,as I wasn't old enough to remember when he was on the air. When I started listening to ABC Harry Harrison was the morning dj. Herb certainly has a pleasant personality.

very sad that he passed, listened to him, and many more great disc Rockies in fifties, sixties..scott muni..wolfman jack.. they played those great oldies but goodies..last station that I listened to was the great wcbs fm 101.1 in ny..in the early nineties..listened for a couple of decades.

Goodbye HOA, God bless you, you were a friend to thousands. Thank you for this Art.

Remember, as a kid, listening to Herb Oscar keeping me company on a small transistor radio..one snowy day on Long Island..many years ago..All the Way with HOA!!😅

H O A was like no other Morning Man that New York radio was ever lucky enough to hear.HERB OSCAR ANDERSON

I remember waking up each morning to his show! thanks for the memories

CHEERS! He was a top DJ here in Minneapolis on WDGY before he went to WABC! And I moved to NYC in the early 60s. He signed on WABC at 6 am. And I heard him then!

What a wonderful man Oscar must have been and the countless lives he touched over the years he was in radio.

He is the first radio announcer I remember ever hearing as a kid.....and I would call him Herb BOSCO Anderson....early 60's I was 4 or 5. This is great! Sad to hear he passed.

Hello again here is my best to you are your skies all gray I hope they are blue. RIP HOA !!

Two people who like family, Herb Oscar Anderson on the radio and Walter Kronkite on TV.

Art Vuolo, I thank you so VERY MUCH for the Herb Oscar Anderson tribute you know every time we lose one of the new York radio greats I feel a little more disconnected with our world today. Thank you Art for keeping the memories alive, Anthony

Love this thanks. My radio alarm clock was always set to WABC at 5:59 a.m. so I could wake up to hello again every morning. RIP Herb.

A great tribute!

A beautiful tribute! He was before my time but I listened to WABC from infancy in the year of the Miracle Mets and the Apollo Moon Landing through today. I am glad I caught his streamed Florida radio show in the years before his passing. Sort of old-fashioned but charming and had a great crooning voice. They broke the mold!

What a great post! I grew up in Brooklyn in fifties and sixties. Loved WABC and WMCA. Great to hear and see HOA again.

So sorry to hear the news. HOA R.I.P. Art, excellent tribute.

Nice tribute to a radio icon. Grew up on Long Island and heard him frequently. Most all of the DJs of that era have since passed and that is sad. Even Pete Fornatale ,who I think passed way young. Glad Cousin Brucie is still going strong like the energy bunny..

Sincere natural talent beyond belief!!!! RIP,,, Herb was superb,,,

Thanks Art for capturing one of radio's best and letting those who never heard HOA on WABC know what a treasure he was. Heaven must be playing "Hello Again"!

Another amazing working of "ART"!! Great job, as always!!!

Nice job Art! Thanks for posting!

I was one of those who ordered by mail from WABC the 45 RPM Record Hello Again...along with the White Label Murray the K 1010 Wins Submarine Races

What a moving tribute ! What memories ! RIP-HOA

Well done...well deserved...and he will be well (and fondly) remembered.

I remember listening to this great radio DJ in the 1960's and he was a true heavyweight. HOA will always be one of the best ever and it is sad he is gone. Cousin Brucie is about the only one left.

Thanks, Art. HOA was loved by many.

I woke up every morning to it 😂😂

R,I,P HOA YOU WERE THE GREATEST

Until we hear from you again Herb, Godspeed.

What an amazing unique radio talent Herb was...His coworkers here just loved him....If he was still here he'd be my morning man... Before radio was mostly destroyed by the Clinton administration it seemed like it was probably one of the greatest industries to be in...

What a voice!

I grew up in Far Rockaway NY and WABC radio was my favorite station. HOA was an important part of my young life. I am shocked to hear of his passing. He will always be a part of our lives so therefore he will never be forgotten. in fact he cannot help but be remembered. my deepest sympathy to his family which included his millions of fans. RIP HOA. love ya, man

Joe McCoy was a fabulous DJ in his own right. I remember his passion and voice from WOR-FM.

Our generation of Boomers never gave thought we would age and in time be passing on. Sad but it is happening too much now. Time waits for no one, sad that we cannot live forever in the 1960's. The BEST decade. Hope when I pass that GOD sends me to live again in the 1960's. No computers, YEAH!

Amen. ,, when God takes me home to Heaven. ,, hope i am remembered for being a decent Christian and radio broadcaster too -- God bless Herb

Memories....!!!! The Morning Mayor was the best....

God Bless the one & only HOA. He WAS NY morning radio!! For me, early 60's, from Astoria to St. Michael's in Flushing it WAS HOA before leaving to catch the Q66. RIP HOA!

We've lost a true legend. And that's from a Baby Boomer former NJ guy! RIP HOA!

I remember waking up every morning my mother listening to yoga every morning in the 60s I was getting ready for school

What a wonderful tribute to HOA!

A really great talent! There wasn't a New Yorker that didn't know HOA!

Thans Art and thanks Bob McAllan

Thank You Art!

COULDNT SAY IT ANY BETTER GARY

into 30000 I met herbs son John James at Melbourne Crown Casino obviously was visiting his wife's family I had a crush on him in year 11 I'm 52 years old and run after him with my then boyfriend trailing behind ear tattoo on the shoulder and said oh sorry and he's just smile with his lovely smile Lee gone grey I still recognised him and then he went off with his brother-in-law whoever what year was weird but it was it was just so sweet

OK! He was on WDGY in Minneapolis before this.

Great tribute Mr. Vuolo. RIP HOA. Too bad this was ruined by Sabo commenting and McCoy hogging the video.

Dan Ingram on this too

I remember his son on DYNASTY.

His son John James seemed like an equally great person...

Didn't he start on WMGM in NYC?

There was a UK Pirate Dj in the 60s of the same name ,Was This an assumed name by a Radio Caroline (?) DJ or was it really HOA ?

I've heard Radio Caroline was very popular in the 60s, broadcasting off shore. But probably an assumed name. I was part of a small AM pirate station here in New Jersey at that time.

I was a big fan of 77WABC in NY, but not of Herb. I guess my mother would have liked him. Waaaaay too corny for my taste. I liked his replacement when he left - Harry Harrison.
