ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Patrick Stewart – A Commanding Voice, An Iconic Legacy Some actors make their entrance before they say a word. Patrick Stewart could do it with a look, a shift in posture or the patient expression of a man waiting for everyone else in the room to catch up. Then came the voice. Rich, precise and instantly recognizable, it could make a Shakespearean speech feel immediate or […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: John Anderson – The Unmistakable Voice You could recognize John Anderson before he finished his first line. There was that bend in a vowel, the earthy rumble underneath a melody, the way a phrase could sound playful one moment and wounded the next. His singing carried the personality of someone who understood exactly what he wanted to do with a song. Across nearly five decades, that […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Tim Curry – Remembering The Voice, the Villains, and the Icon Tim Curry never seemed interested in giving an audience half a performance. Whether he was stalking through a gothic castle in fishnets, turning a board game into comic chaos, terrorizing a small town from behind a clown’s painted smile or sailing alongside the Muppets, Curry brought total commitment to every role. His characters could be outrageous, […]
The Songs, the Spirit and the Legacy of an Icon Dolly Parton once said she hoped to be remembered as a songwriter. That wish now feels almost modest. Parton, who died on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80, leaves behind one of the richest and most deeply loved legacies in popular culture. She was a singer whose voice could sound bright enough to lift a room and vulnerable […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Frank Beard - The Rhythmic Heartbeat of ZZ Top Frank Beard never needed to be the loudest or most visible member of ZZ Top. That was never the drummer’s job. Billy Gibbons had the growling guitar, the unmistakable voice and the sly grin. Dusty Hill brought the bass, the harmonies and a stage presence that perfectly matched Gibbons. Together, the two men became instantly recognizable, with their […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Bonnie Tyler Some singers are remembered for the songs they recorded. Others are remembered for the feeling they left behind. Bonnie Tyler gave us both. Born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951, in Skewen, Wales, Bonnie Tyler came from humble beginnings. She was raised in a working-class family, one of several children, and the daughter of a coal miner. Long before she became known around the world, […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Tommy Hunter Tommy Hunter, known for generations as “Canada’s Country Gentleman,” has died at the age of 89, leaving behind a legacy that helped shape country music, Canadian television, and the sound of family entertainment in this country for more than half a century. Born in London, Ontario, on March 20, 1937, Hunter found country music early. Like so many future performers of his generation, he was […]
ICON RADIO REMEMBERS: Clive Davis, A Life That Shaped Music Clive Davis, one of the most powerful and influential figures in the history of the modern music business, has died at the age of 94. His passing marks the end of a remarkable life and career that stretched across more than six decades, transformed record labels, launched superstars, revived legends, and helped define the sound of popular music for generations […]
Few voices in Classic Hits radio carry the warmth, wit, and unmistakable character of Dennis Locorriere, the longtime voice of Dr. Hook.

Born in Union City, New Jersey, in 1949, Locorriere came up through music during a time […]
