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.

Natalie Cole - "This Will Be"
2016 can go away now. Aside from delivering us Donald Trump, the year saw numerous A-List talent taken from the music world. In fact, the year started with the news that Natalie Cole passed away (12/31/15). Despite being notorious for remaking her dad's songs, Natalie's resume will always include "This Will Be". Even though it was a hit in 1975, the tune resurfaced during the 2000s in numerous television commercials for the online dating service eHarmony. In fact, when eHarmony brought back the creepy old white guy (Neil Clark Warren) to do their commercials in 2012, they also dusted off "This Will Be" for the campaign.
