*tries to decipher my notes and wonders what King If Tge Toast was*<\/p>\n
The key to this is that in order to list a song I wish I heard more often, the song had to be on the radio in the first place.<\/p>\n
So that wipes out a good 1\/3rd of my record collection – all the brilliant songs from unsigned and under recognised artists.<\/p>\n
After a lot of thought, my memory took me back to the late Terry Wogan.<\/p>\n
When he presented his morning show on BBC R2 Sir Terry, every now and then, played music not listed on the BBC Playlist.<\/p>\n
These were his favourites.<\/p>\n
Songs that he loved.<\/p>\n
Terry would frequently slip this song in, when he was able, it would appear as the last track, just before the 8am news.<\/p>\n
And it seems that, with the sad demise of Terry Wogan from the BBCs airwaves, so too has the work of Clifford T Ward slipped from the consciousness of the Nation’s public service radio broadcaster.<\/p>\n
This is a sad double loss.<\/p>\n
The song that I wish I heard more often on the radio is Clifford T Ward’s ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’.<\/p>\n
This is 2’24” of beautifully enunciated, articulate story-telling, from a singer-songwriter who achieved much less fame than very many people possessing just a fraction of his immense talent.<\/p>\n
