Legendary radio commentator Paul Harvey died today. He was 90. His death came as a surprise to me since I heard him on a local radio station during the past week. Cause of death has not been released.
For those of us who worked in radio, the man was a god! In 1990 at the age of 82 he signed a 10 year contract with ABC Radio for $100 million - big money for anyone in radio, especially at 82!
I first heard of Paul Harvey when I was a kid listening to the radio in New York. I thought he was funny. Well, he was funny and serious and down-to-earth. Smart and humble with an arsenal of qualities which would appeal to almost anyone.
He was the best at what he did.
There will never be anyone like him again.
