Listening to Q104.3's Scott Muni tribute as I write this. He will be missed. I have been listening to Scott Muni since I was 9 and got my first transistor radio (only AM at that time). He was a legend on rock and roll radio. Condolences to his family on their loss.

I feel if a part of me has died,I listened to scott and all of the good guys,he was my guide to rock & roll,I know He's up there With John & George,and all the rest of Rock And Roll Heaven,Good Bye Scott,Thanks for all the songs

He was the Professor of them all. There are deep and wonderful memories that are invoked every time I hear his voice. Rock radio was a silly diversion before Scottso, Roscoe and Alison Steele seduced the airwaves.

Scott, you will be missed! Who else will play our Beatles Block? You are part of my memories, growing up, since the '60s. Rest In Peace .. your fans will remember and miss you.

A piece of my childhood just passed on. From ABC to WNEW he was The DJ. Thanks for making radio what it should be, and may never be again. What a long strange trip it's been.

You were a true pioneer. It was about the music! You made music relate to our lives with your comments and stories. Couldn't make it without you...

Words can't describe the loss I'm feeling right now. Along with Allison Steele, Scottso was the best and hippest of all DJs. He turned me on to all the music that was to become the soundtrack of my life! Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
May you rest in peace. You will be missed by all your fans but remembered for eternity.

I'm sitting at my desk still stunned at the news. I went to take a break, hopped in my car to listed to music and heard the news. I grew up listening to Scott, and now another legend is gone. John and George, please take good care of Scottso when you see him. I'll miss you and I am sure that all of New York will too.

My favorite radio show of all time was Scott with John Lennon as co-DJ one Sateuday in the mid 70's. Loved his noon show . Everyone will miss him.

Scottso was in the thick of the fierce arch-rivalries of 77, the "good guys" and "Winsland". What a time it was for a kid to enjoy the radio. Then, what a welcome rasp on the new WOR-FM, before he settled into greatness at WNEW-FM. An era is over. Deepest condolences to those who loved him.

ANOTHER PART OF THE GREAT REVOLUTION THAT WAS ROCK AND ROLL HAS PASSED. NOT A MUSICIAN, BUT A GREAT FORCE IN MUSIC. I THANK HIM FOR ALL THE HOURS I LISTENED. I'LL MISS YOU SCOTTSO.

Scott's voice was my voice of rock & roll. he & Dave Herman and everyone at WNEW taught me about the importance of music.
i will always love his voice,knowledge & appreciation that he has pasted on to me
and thousands of others...how lucky are we
love you Scottso!

As one of wabc's all american's, it was a thrill to hear Scott introduce the group and song "Denise" to his audiences back in 1963, He was a presence, a one of a kind, and will be missed.

I also listened to Scott and the rest of the good guys on my transistor radio when I was a teenager in NYC. Have many happy memories of reading the top 100 lists that were handed out at records shops with a picture of each of the good guys on them and listening to the top 100 countdown on New Year's Eve with Scott Muni.

We listened to Scottso in the 70s"together" even though we met 30 years later. Scottso you were the best! We were so excited to hear him on New York radio years after WNEW FM lost out to commercial music. He will be sadly missed by us and by many others. You were truly "The Professor" of rock and roll. May your memory live on by those of us who appreciate REAL music and hopefully influence others who listen to the commercial garbage that clutters our airwaves today.

I remember growing up in NJ listening to Scott, Allison Steel, Dave Herman, Vin Scelsa and all the other DJ's at WNEW. Scootso was the best.......Farethe Well, Farethe Well, I love You More than Words Can Tell....Listen to the River Sing Sweet Songs and Rock my Soul..................

scott muni will always be remembered as the king of classic rock. his vast knowledge and smooth delivery is surpassed by none. he will be missed

I know as soon as Scott got up to heaven he met allison Steele and the two of them had a few laughs and sat down and listened to geaorge and John jam on a few beatles songs... Going to miss scottso and the British biskets...

Hangin' on 47th Street and 5th Ave. in Brooklyn during the 60's and 70's was made all the more enjoyable for the MUSIC. The man who showed us the way has now gone to what should be a rockin' reward. Scott Muni did it all, so I do not grieve for him. I do grieve for us because we are now short one very, very cool head and heart.

The professor has passed. May his long tenure as the best DJ on NY radio be testament to a man who's passion for R&R and his trade certainly had a great impact on a generation of listeners.You will forever be the standard for anyone who spins a disc is measured by. Rest in Peace Fats.

When I startd college in 1972 I didn't yet own a radio that had FM-from that point on all I listened to was WNEW and I remember feeling so cool and grown-up. Now we are all older and much less cool but Scott Muni will always hold the special memory of the beginning of the journey to adulthood. My husband and I want to say "goodby Scott, we will always miss you."

Scott Muni was the single greatest individual to ever grace the FM radio waves. The list of infulential people on AM radio is endless, Scott being one of them. In 1967, Scott broke the mold by jumping into the "black hole" of FM radio with a full color beacon that changed the landscape for ever.
I worked with Scott for 10 years. Our first project together was to cover Live Aid from JFK in Phiadelphia. Pooling the resources of WMMR and WNEW-FM we raised the bar to new heights. It was actually easier than it sounds, because Scott was there with youthful enthusiasm. Easier because every artist wanted to speak to him. Their first stop of the day was to check-in with Bill Graham, their second was Scott Muni's microphone.
That's just one small bite from a lifetime of special moments. To know him was to love him.
The wake for Scott is scheduled for this Saturday (10/2/04) and Sunday (10/3/04) at the Frank Campbell Funeral Home, located on Madison Avenue at the corner of 81st Street. The viewings are at the following times:

2:00PM-5:00PM
7:00PM-9:00 PM


The funeral service will be held at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Monday morning (10/4/04) at 10:00

Scott was and remains the best. I grew up listening to him every afternoon from 2-6, while I did my homework. Scott, I love you. Until we meet again . . .

There have been many people in our "life and times" that influenced, played a role in our collective consciousness - none more appreciated and loved than Scottso. He made the world of rock n roll come alive for us in ways that no one else could have. He taught many people how to be better humans just by his presence. I am profoundly grateful that we were in earshot. Proof that one person can change the world so much for the better. We are richer for his being here. RIP

I have been listening to Scott since I was 14, I am now 42, Scott was a major influence in my life, he made rock n roll a staple in my life, and I feel I have lost a true friend, even though I had never met him! ROCK ON SCOTTSO!!

i'll always remember the day that Scott was on the air one afternoon back when i was in high school and the stones where promoting their new album at the time (not sure which one) and they where driving around manhattan performing on the back of a flatbed truck. As they drove by the studio Scott ran to the window and began to describe the scene over the air and started with" it's Jagger, Jagger and the Stones"

I started listening to Scott Muni in the mid-80s when I came to New York City to go to college. I am originally from the New York area but moved away as a child and spent my teen years in Florida. I remember the day I came up for my school interview. The minute we landed and I could turn on my walkman, I tuned into WNEW and there was Scott Muni interviewing Joan Jett, which I thought was very cool. The FM radio that I listened to in Florida was a noble attempt at being something that WNEW was, but it didn't quite measure up. The jocks in Florida didn't have the same credibility to invite any number of Rock Stars to the station the way Scott Muni could. Long story short I got to see, or more appropriately hear, the last substantial chunk of the WNEW years as an FM Rock giant. Scottso, along with perhaps Tom Donahue in San Francisco in the 60s invented the format that we all grew up with. This unfortunately evolved into the corporate 'classic rock' format that exists today. I'm glad I got to be part of the generation that lived with radio before it's stale 'classic rock' days, when it was still a format that existed as a vital part of youth culture, and I'm glad I got to be a fan of Scotto's. I was never a huge fan of Q-104.3 because of their limited playlist and some of the frat-boy jocks, but I always tuned in for Scott Muni at noon because he was old school. Always playing The Beatles, and always playing something different from the same old 4 Pink Floyd songs, and same Aerosmith, and Billy Joel songs. I must admit that Scott's passing has made me sadder than anything I have experienced in a while. I feel like a good friend has left the building. Goodbye Scottso, I AM NOW, AND DEFINITELY WILL BE MISSING YOU!!

GROWING UP IN NYC, SITTING ON THE STOOP OR ON THE HOOD OF A CAR LISTNENING TO SCOTTSO ON WNEW WAS THE BEST. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS SITTING THERE WITH YOU. I TRY TO PASS ON THE GIFT OF MUSIC THAT SCOTT MUNI GAVE TO ME TO MY 17 YR OLD SON. AND I THINK BECAUSE I HAD SUCH A GREAT TEACHER IT HAS MADE IT SO ENJOYABLE TO PASS THE GIFT ON TO MY SON.
MAY YOU LIVE IN ALL OF US ...FOREVER...THANKYOU

he was the greatest, radio will never be the same

I recall waiting by my radio, Sony reel-to-reel ready for recording Scottso first playing of Sgt. Pepper. I think it was June of 67. I also recall his love of Richie Havens. He would often play tracks from Haven's first 2 albums. "Sandy" was one I think he played over and over. And I think he opened his shows with a song who's name and artist I've forgotten but it went...."you might wake up one morning, to the sound of something moving past your window in the wind....

I lived in Jersey City New Jersey for the first 35 years of my life and grew up with Scotso..Give me another Stoli !!. I'll never forget listening to the professor the night John was killed and him telling us to hold on to the song "In my Life"..I always did Scott, now I'll hold on to my great memories of you...God Bless...Mike Slane San Diego, CA

Dear Scottso,
I can not believe that our time together on
the radio and this earth has come to a final end. You leave many,many good friends
both listeners and admirers.

Say hello to all those rock legends in the
great beyond and wish them well for all of
us still here. I hope they have the WHEAVEN
Radio going and you are still able to do
some great rock radio shows.

I will tune my dial to hear you when its my time as well.

Long Remember Scottso and Rock and Roll!

Better late than never. I'm sitting here a year later, listening to an old WNEW aircheck, and felt compelled to post. I, too, grew up in Jersey City in the 60s, and "Scottso" was part of our soundscape, from the late afternoons before Cousin Brucie on WABC, to WOR-FM, and then to WNEW-FM. The music he programmed was wonderful. "Elusive Butterfly" by Bob Lind still reminds me of his show and his voice. And the "Things from England" segment introduced me to some great UK music in the 70s. He was absolutely wonderful. Together with Allison and Rosko, they were our afternoon and evening companions, from grammar and high school schoolyard summer nights through the college, and into the working years. They were our soundtrack and our guides to a universe of music. Rest in Peace, Scottso. Now you truly are part of the airwaves.
