Although I
listened to Top 40 radio almost constantly from the age of 12 and fairly often
even afterwards, only once can I remember actually requesting a specific song. WBT
radio (1110) out of Charlotte NC could be heard easily in Pennsylvania after
dark, and at one point I frequently listened to Rockin’ Ray’s “Sunday Night
Hall of Fame,” which was on the air from 1971 through 1995. On one show he
played “A Quiet Place”, which I had never heard before. I liked it so much that
I sent in a postcard requesting the song the next week. What I can’t remember
is whether or not he actually played it again.
The song
is widely considered to be a classic example of “Carolina Beach Music”, although
it’s much slower and more melancholy that most other CBM songs.
