Scotty Brink was brought in from KHJ/Los Angeles to program WRKO in February, 1972, during its "Album Rock" days and left in 1973 when the station moved to high-energy Top 40 programming under new Program Director, Paul Drew. According to Brink, the first thing he did as P.D. was to add Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven .

While he had been a major-market on-air talent in cities such as Chicago and philadelphia, Brink was never on the air at WRKO, ― except when Dale Dorman literally had problems getting his car started one particularly-cold winter day, when Scotty was forced to arise extra-early, and fill in, until "Uncle Dale" was able to slide into the station's parking facility.

Note that while this aircheck is abbreviated, Dale does show up in the full version...and he warmed up quickly and went right to work with the funny stuff he's famous for!  But this wasn't the ONLY time Brink did an airshift at WRKO (making this one a true collector's item); he was also to be "J. J. Jordan for two weeks before Jordan arrived to be on the air!
