Maybe it's something that happens to the brain at a certain stage in life, but some of the songs I used to hear years ago on WCWA Toledo are coming back to me, sort of - but they're songs I haven't been able to locate online.
One of them was a medium-tempo pop song about Sausalito, California "sau-sa-li-to...I've been gone too long. Bye-bye- baby. . . something something something's got me down."
Or something like that.
Anyone remember it? Know the artist and song title? Better yet, are any playlists or "WCWA top 40" songlistss or the like available from back then to look up anywhere?
There were similar shows, I think, on the old WKYC Radio (AM1100) from Cleveland and maybe on WTVN-AM from Columbus, WXYZ Detroit (AM1270) and WIMA Lima, too. I'm talking about before the Music of Your LIfe days - when it was the softer side of top 40 pop, B-sides, and adult standards.
It really was a pleasure to listen to, with sharp personalities, music that wasn't too soft or too hard, hourly news updates (on the half hour from ABC, I think), etc. Makes me miss the MOR personality format - especially on weekend afternoons.
