John Records Landecker (born March 28, 1947) is an American Top40/oldies disc jockey with a trademark saying "Records truly is my middle name" who created Boogie Check, Americana Panorama, and satirical songs and bits based on current events such as "Make a Date with the Watergate", and "Press My Conference". He first retired from radio broadcasting on July 31, 2015. Boogie Check was the last humorous feature Landecker did each night on his show for about two minutes. A string of brief telephone calls was put on the air in rapid succession. From July 2007 through June 2012, he hosted "Into the Seventies", a syndicated weekend radio program from TKO Radio Networks.
Landecker returned to Chicago radio on September 28, 2020, joining WGN (AM) as the 7–10 p.m. weeknight evening host.[1]
