Radio on Record – Late Night Radio

There’s a mystique and romance about the late night DJ. Maybe we should blame Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me. In the words of this song its “my best friend when I’m lonely.”

Written by Bill and Taffy Danoff, of Starland Vocal Band fame, John Denver sings “there’s a world unknown to daytime, is forever going on the airwaves of the nation, between midnight and the dawn.”

 

Look out for a new documentary about the singer, John Denver-Country Boy, this Friday evening on BBC Four.
