Radio Legend Paul Harvey Dies
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Paul Harvey, a radio legend who began his career in 1933 while he was still in high school, has died, ABC News reported Saturday. Harvey was 90.
Harvey began his radio career on KVOO-AM while in high school in his hometown of Tulsa, Okla. He was known for his unique, staccato-style delivery of news combined with commentary, which resonated with tens of millions of Americans for more than five decades.
Among the dozens of professional honors Harvey received, he was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame and, in 1992, received the Paul White Award, the highest honor presented by RTNDA, the Radio-Television News Directors Association. President George W. Bush bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Harvey in 2005.
Harvey's wife, Angel, who produced his radio programs, died in 2008. Angel Harvey is credited with creating his popular radio feature "The Rest of the Story."

Wow... I usually don't say "What a loss," but every time I heard his voice on the radio, it takes me back 35 years to when I first heard him as a kid. He was a symbol of stability.

Good day, Paul Harvey! I always enjoyed the rest of the story and the way he ended it all with saying, "good Day!"

Paul Harvey was one of those radio personalities who could stop someone, rolling through the dial on a long car trip, right in his tracks. He had an arresting air presence and a unique delivery style. As has been said, he represented stability, but more than that, he was a tie that bound people in disparate locales together, truly a part of the American experience.
