Here's a real head scratcher: not even a month following John Lennon's assassination, his record company released the song "Woman". While the ballad went to #1 on nearly every chart, it somehow stalled on the Hot 100 (at #2) and Adult Contemporary (#4) charts.
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
