Joel Whitburn is an American author and music historian based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin who founded Record Research Inc. in 1970 and put together a team of researchers to examine in detail all of Billboard's music and video chart. Over the years he has edited several books summarizing music chart data. Over the years I have bought some of his books and have referred to them while listening to terrestrial or internet radio.
Ken Kaiser whom I met once at an oldies meet and greets posted on the Oldies Message Board the video seen above which is a video tour of Joel's fantastic record archive. It is 34 minutes long and I just have to listen to it. It is so hard to find the time during baseball season to watch it, so I am posting it on my blog so I'll know where to find. Hopefully, this weekend I'll find the time.
