My Place: Atco Records

Atco Records was created in 1955 as a companion label to Atlantic Records in New York City, and over the next  quarter century released over a thousand singles.

This week Joel Najman's My Place samples from primarily the early years of Atco records, with memorable recordings by the Robins, Coasters and others.

Joel has been a part of Vermont's radio scene since 1964. He began his career at WIPS in Ticonderoga, New York. In 1965, he moved to WFAD in Middlebury, Vermont, where he attended Middlebury College. Over the years, Joel worked at radio stations WJOY, WQCR, WDOT, WDEV and WVAA where he served at various times as Morning Announcer, Program Director and News Director.
