      I sang just the t.v. theme song part on the StarMaker App the very day he passed. They don't have the full song unfortunately. I am known as ChromeRose on there if anyone is interested. I'm currently #3 on the list of people who've sang it.

      I loved the show. I loved the characters and the whole cast. But I was only 11 when it came out. To me the big theme was the ENDING SONG! I tried and Tried as many did and some still do to figure out what the lyrics were but finally decided (After I recorded it with a little cassette recorder off the end of the show LOL) that they were actually nonsense probably done in order to mock or just have fun with all those that often said things like "I can't even understand the ltrics to those Rock music songs! Why do you like it?" Or something similar. It turns out that I was actually right. That great hard rockin song that couldn't be bought at a record store and that no one knew the artist was done that way on purpose! I still lov ethat piece! To me it's a movement that perfectly sums up the whole feeling I and Millions of other get when a great, TRULY GREAT Rock N Roll song come on and is blasted at high Volume so I can ROCK OUT TO IT!!! Which I did every single time I had the chance until I finally had an actual recording of it.

    Broke my heart in two
    But baby pay no mind
    The price for finding me was losing you
    Memories help me hide my lonesome feeling
    Far away from you and feeling low
    It's getting late my friend, my love

I still love listening to this genre. Great singing voice this dude has. Who writes these kind of lyrics anymore? I used to work as a locums primary care provider. This song takes me back to those days on the road when I was single and living in hotels and changing clinic locations every 3 months. It was like being on a never ending vacation.

      Black Girl Magic I was truck driver, every state I stopped & took a picture of welcome to Sign. Ive got 35 welcome to signs. Not a glomours job but made good money. It was cool driving in those Mountains out west, a little scary at times. It was a lot of work had to keep track of the miles I drove. Its not fun driving lots of people hate those big trucks on the road.

You put in long hours away from home with often tough road conditions and crazy drivers. You deserve good money and I salute you! Thank you all so much for your hard work! 🌟🏆🤗

    Baby, if you've ever wondered
    Wondered whatever became of me
    I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati, WKRP. Got kind of tired packing and unpacking
    Town to town and up and down the dial
    Maybe you and me were never meant to be
    But baby think of me once in awhile. Heading up that highway
    Leaving you behind
    Hardest thing I've ever had to do
    Broke my heart in two
    But Baby, pay no mind
    The price for finding me was losing you. Memories help me hide my lonesome feelin'
    Far away from you and feelin' low
    It's gettin' late my friend, my love I miss you so
    Take good care of you, I've gotta go. Baby, if you've ever wondered
    Wondered whatever became of me
    I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati, WKRP. Got kind of tired packing and unpacking
    Town to town and up and down the dial
    Maybe you and me were never meant to be
    But baby think of me once in awhile
    I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.
