My agent said that I was one of the top three busiest people in the country.

But otherwise, music is about a beat and a message.

For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.

I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.

The stories are success stories. The letters from listeners often touch the heart and can be inspiring.

I must have done about 25,000 promos.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for stars.
