Billy Vera & the Beaters "At This Moment"

Fans of the popular radio request show "Love Notes" might want to download the Radio.com app so they can tune into Boston's "The Cove" radio station. Why? The HD-3 station's imaging voice is none other than John Symons -- who hosted "Love Notes" in Columbus and Chicago. You'll hear old-school soft rock favorites such as "At This Moment" from Billy Vera and the Beaters -- as I did when I tuned into The Cove. Originally released in 1981, "At This Moment" caught fire years later when it aired on NBC's Family Ties. In fact, it went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 1987 after failing to chart in 1981.

Sade "Smooth Operator"

Most people immediately name Delilah when they think about late night radio request shows and hosts, but those in Columbus and Chicago also will name John Symons and his "Love Notes" show. With his smooth baritone voice, Symons earned legions of fans in both markets for his years of playing love songs mixed with listener requests and dedications on the radio. Symons most recently worked for WLIT-FM in Chicago (coincidentally he replaced Delilah), but spent many years at cross-town rival Windy 100 (WNND-FM).

Brenda Russell - "Piano in the Dark"

Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark" was a favorite on Love Notes, a late night dedication show hosted by John Symons.  His popular show aired from 7pm until midnight on Chicago's WNND-FM ("Windy 100") and later on WILV-FM ("Love-FM) from 1998 until 2006.
