I suppose it really is true that there are some folks who just can't live without one-another. Yes, very sad news, though I can't help but think they were one of those really
special couples. Thanks Paul. All my best wishes to the family.

Some more sad news to report from the Record Research family. Joel's wife, Fran Whitburn, passed away peacefully this
morning after a brief illness. She was 85. One of the kindest, sweetest souls I've ever known. She will be missed.]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2022 11:36:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=62301&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#62301 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=61142&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#61142 Author: Paul Haney

I just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all of the kind words about Joel. The funeral
is later today. I have the honor of delivering the eulogy. Tomorrow is the private burial service near
his lake home in Waupaca, WI. Then next week, we can hopefully get back to a somewhat "normal" schedule
at Record Research.]]> Fri, 24 Jun 2022 05:06:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=61142&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#61142 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=61113&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#61113 Author: LunarLaugh

I don't think the impact of Mr. Whitburn's contribution to
the world of music history can begin to be charted (pun
intended). I know that once upon a time when I was just a
kid looking through the CD bins, I was amazed to see all
those Rhino Billboard CDs that Joel helped put together. At
the time it was rather astonishing to me that one guy was
responsible for all those collections. I later got into his
books and the knowledge and insight I gained from them has
definitely helped shape my musical upbringing.

What a legacy! RIP Joel. ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 14:19:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=61113&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#61113 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=61099&title=r-i-p-joel-whitburn#61099 Author: crapfromthepast

Indeed! I've already gotten a few positive comments from some chart-obsessed listeners! Joel and Casey Kasem were largely responsible for getting me to where I am in the radio world.

The link that Paul posted will expire in two weeks; here's a permanent link to the same interview.

Had a nice chat with our own Ron Gerber about the legacy of Joel Whitburn...
