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.

Christina Aguilera "Beautiful"
STORY BEHIND THE SONG:
The song "Beautiful" caused an ugly scene among Christina Aguilera, Pink and the song's writer Linda Perry. Perry originally mulled a solo career of her own and sought to keep "Beautiful" for herself, but later offered it to Pink while producing her Mizzundaztood album. That offer changed when Aguilera stopped by Perry's house one day and sang "Beautiful". Perry immediately fell in love with Christina's demo of the song and decided to let her keep the song--which didn't tickle Pink. Christina also wasn't happy with Perry. She didn't like her original vocals on the demo and wanted to re-record the song, but Perry would not allow it. Perry claimed the roughness of the demo captured the essence of the song's theme: being imperfect and vulnerable and only wanted the original vocals.Monday, March 26, 2018
