I was listening to a song on You Tube today which brought back some wonderful memories.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s, before we began broadcasting "Delilah," we aired a successful evening program called "Pillow Talk," which was five hours of love songs, dedications and even some soft jazz.
Sometimes we would play a song that even though it was either not a hit single or only an album cut, we played it because it fit the atmosphere of the show: to relax listeners or perhaps share an emotion with them.
One song we used to play was called "Almaz," sung by Randy Crawford (who incidentally was from Macon). The first time I heard it I thought it was one of the most beautiful melodies I'd ever heard. I found myself singing it to myself all the time.
