Join CASEY KASEM as he counts down history’s greatest pop music performers of five different eras! Casey Kasem’s Rock & Roll Goldmine features rare performances by legendary artists of rock, soul and R&B, loaded with powerful visuals and fascinating details about these titans of American popular music -- all told in Casey’s trademark "American Top 40" style.

Casey Kasem and his weekly radio program "American Top 40" reach millions of listeners each week. Back in 1962, Casey found a discarded magazine in a trash barrel at the studio. It was full of facts about recording artists. So he began telling stories about the lives of popular musicians during his show, and the "teaser/bio" format became a standard in the radio industry and a familiar part of "American Top 40." Casey is the youngest member ever inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. He has his own star on Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame. And in 1997, Billboard Magazine presented him with its first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. Besides being one of the busiest performers, Casey is also involved in many social and humanitarian causes – vegetarianism, anti-smoking campaigns, anti-discrimination projects, etc. – for which he has received numerous honors. Since 1991, Casey has also participated in Jerry Lewis’ annual Labor Day Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
