RE: What Ever Happened to AC Radio (below)

In case anyone wonders, the term Adult Contemporary was coined by either Bill himself, Ron Fell or someone at The Gavin Report in the 70's. It was their way of getting away from the terms 'middle of the road'("chicken rock?") or 'easy listening' and, of course, another chart they could compile based on airplay/rotation information provided by the 'AC' station's MD's phone calls (YES!--telephones) combined somewhat with actual singles sales nationwide.

Thanks 70radio!

Now-a-days in music, it's difficult to determine 'WHO'S' an adult, and 'WHAT IS' contemporary!!
