Whitney Houston "Didn't We Almost Have It All?"

It wasn't uncommon to hear soft rock songs from Whitney Houston, Phil Collins or Michael McDonald on Smooth Jazz radio stations. Chicago's former WNUA-FM prominently featured ballads that had fallen off the playlists of Adult Contemporary stations--especially in the station's twilight years before flipping to Spanish (and later Country).

Lenny Kravitz - "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"

I used to wake up to Chicago's B96, but somehow my radio's knob was turned and B96 was replaced by the previous station, 95.5 WNUA.  WNUA was Chicago's Smooth Jazz station and was about as far as you can go musically in the opposite direction of B96.  It took a day for me to realize that I was on the wrong station as WNUA woke me up with "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" by Lenny Kravitz.
