Kasem -- also the distinctive voice of &quot;Shaggy&quot; in the television hit cartoon &quot;Scooby-Doo&quot; -- began his popular &quot;American Top 40&quot; radio broadcast in 1970, counting down Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart of top hits. Stations across the country quickly picked up the up-beat show, in which top hits were played alongside song dedications, anecdotes and biographical information about artists. Kasem died in Gig Harbor, Washington state, publicist Danny Deraney said.</p><br clear="all"/>
