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.

Paul Davis - "Cool Night"
Sometimes you'll hear lyrics from certain songs and then make an assumption of the song's title. One quick listen to "Cool Night" and you would think the song is called "Come On Over", but it is not. This soft rock gem went all the way to #2 on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 1982 for Paul Davis. Davis's picture on his Greatest Hits album looks like a guy who just finished chopping wood all morning before sitting down to a lumberjack breakfast of eggs, sausage, Canadian bacon, toast, and hot cakes.
