Paul Harvey

Paul Harvey has died.

Harvey's voice is synonymous with radio and instantly recognizable by anyone. Nearly every AM radio station I ever worked at carried his "news and commentary", not to mention his "Rest of the Story" program.

He was one of a kind. His delivery was unmatched. He didn't just read the news...he told a story. He plugged advertisers the old-fashioned way...live with a personal spin. He was the elder statesman of radio news...and commentary.

I've long since said goodbye to radio, but Paul never did. I honestly thought he'd outlive us all.

Thank you Paul...Good day!
