Voice of America

Back late 1987, a 12-inch import came into the radio station.  It was from a British band who went by the name Voice of America.  The song, “Story of Love,” became a cult alt-rock hit, especially in Southern Ontario and Western New York.  

I played the song countless times on the radio and in clubs.  Later, I wrote the liner notes for a series of retro CDs for EMI, parent company of Virgin Records, the home of Voice of America.  One volume featured “Story of Love.”

That’s when it dawned on me that I knew nothing about the band.  And I mean nothing.
