RIP Charlie Jones

Another classic sports announcer voice goes silent...

"SAN DIEGO (AP) - Charlie Jones, the deep-voiced sportscaster whose career as a play-by-play announcer dated to the beginning of the American Football League in 1960, has died. He was 77.

Jones died of a massive heart attack Thursday at his home in the La Jolla district of San Diego, said his wife, Ann.

Jones, who retired in the late 1990s, had been in poor health for several years, she said. Jones worked for ABC and NBC in a career spanning 38 years."
