Robert Miles - "Children"

The foundations of the Adult Contemporary format come from instrumentals.  I remember my Grandma working a jigsaw puzzle back in the early-80s and listening to "beautiful music" on FM100.  The station somehow was a ratings juggernaut while playing such songs as "The Theme From Hill Street Blues".  Fast forward to 1996, and pop radio was playing "Children", an instrumental from Italian DJ Robert Miles--think of him as 1996's Calvin Harris or Avicci.
