| Nothing interfered with listening to Paul Harvey. |
From the 50's to the beginning of the 21st century, the smooth, cultured voice
of a mid-western radio broadcaster would reverberate across the airwaves with
the tales of victory over defeat, triumph over despair and winners persevering to
the end. He would recount events in the lives of famous people by using their
first name or a nickname to keep the listener in suspense until he said… “and
that my friend is the rest of the story.”
Paul Harvey became a radio icon with this famous line and
the stories he told held audiences captivated to find out unknown details about
the beginnings of a celebrity’s life or the obstacles overcome by a successful athlete
or politician; facts utterly unknown until revealed through the broadcast of this popular host.
