SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:55 Min.
This track is the theme to the same-named CBS 1978-82 sitcom. As sung by its original artist, Steve Carlisle, this radio-length version leads off Rhino Records’ 1995 album: Tube Tunes, Volume 3 – The ‘80s. The song, as if he is writing a letter to a ex-girlfriend, reflects the perspective of WKRP’s program director/restless industry journeyman, Andy Travis (actor Gary Sandy).
Note: Coincidentally, Carlisle’s singing voice resembles that of actor Richard Sanders (aka WKRP’s nebbish news director, Les Nessman).
REVIEW:
For loyal fans of the 1978-82 TV series, Carlisle’s rendition offers a wonderful three-minute dose of nostalgia. It’s a tune well worth adding to any TV soundtrack playlist.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
