This is a riveting 17 minute address by the late legendary radio news commentator Paul Harvey. It was recorded on March 8, 2003 at the R&R Talk Radio Seminar. It was his last speech to the radio industry .
The saddest thing, there are generations of recent past and future generations, who will never know his voice; his greatness. Those who remember him every day at noon, are very fortunate. He was one of a kind!
I wish they would rebroadcast his entire show so the current young generations and future generations could hear a man who stood by his belief and believed in respect for others as well as himself. I found some of his recordings on audible and Apple. So many would benefit from his words. ❤
I grew up listening to his baritone voice describing with great detail every story he told, his daily monologs were spell binding learning to use your imagination in every story he told. A man of great words, and a true American hero of the literary word. RIP, Paul you are dearly missed.
I began at 7 years old, working in my Dad's machine shop simply sweeping and cleaning his machines. Metal lathes, mills, drill presses, bandsaws and grinders would interfere with the clear reception. If memory serves me right, Mr. Harvey's noon show was at 12:30. We broke for lunch at noon, but would not turn on a single machine until we heard the conclusion of the show. Then later in the afternoon, the noisy shop became quiet as a church as we listened to "The Rest of the Story". I worked in that shop until I graduated at 18. I had learned to turn the material on the lathe without fear. I had learned to weld and sweat in that Texas summer heat. But the staple of my youth, the determining compass of my rearing, was Mr. Paul Harvey. He could make me laugh, tear up and swell with pride as he revealed stories of Americans that I thought could be my neighbors. He was a master at such a high level it left him without peers. But millions of fans. I think back to a simpler time when my biggest concern was getting better grades in school and finishing work in time to visit friends. Mr. Harvey was the cement that made me relate to my Dad. Our generation (born after 1955) are the most blessed in the history of the world. Most of us have never been in war, seen poverty that was so deep, the dust from abandoned and neglected farms would get caught in a wind storm and blind the eyes. Yet we saw a President killed when we were in 2nd grade. We saw the Viet Nam war escalate. We saw our moms leave home and go to work. We saw the President's brother killed on TV. We saw political riots unlike we had ever seen in America. We saw a man walk on the moon. Later we saw a President resign from office and when we graduated, the Viet Nam war was over and another. We had it good then and our entire lives. If anyone born in 1956 had problems that kept them from the abundance of wealth and privilege, it is likely something they did wrong. I'm thankful that through all those historical moments that Mr. Harvey chose to be a voice of reason.
R. Very nicely put. There are a lot of eloquent, thoughtful comments here! Must be some of Paul Harvey rubbing off on you all. Just goes to show it's important what we fill our minds with. God bless! ☺🇺🇸
Reminds me of times I would look forward to hearing his versions of the news ; he was well put to geather sort of man ! He had his ways of telling the pro and cons ! Oh how he could open up your mind ! Now days reporter or fake news reporter stand way at the bottom of well in this case they can't compete ; they are really out of his league ! ( guess once in a life time we run in people of great character which is unmeasurable .) had given me vision ! Especially for the Lord
As an 83 year old man I have come to realize how LUCKY I am to have grown up listening to people like Paul Harvey, NOT on TV but on the radio! Some of what he talked about rubbed off on me and made me what I am today.
Paul Harvey was the greatest full of wisdom not full of the other stuff that most journalist today are full of.... probably opened the door for another that has passed that was also great Rush Limbaugh RIP PAUL. RIP RUSH and thanks
When overseas serving in the military, it was Paul Harvey's voice each day on Armed Forces radio that connected us to home more than any other thing. Thank you Mr. Harvey.
Most Amazing AMERICAN that ever lived. I so wish that todays youth had the opportunity I had. To experience this mans radio broadcasts. This man loved AMERICA and painted the most loving and patriotic pictures in your mind that only he could. The main thing I miss these days, Patriotic rhetoric. Imagine the last time you have heard of having Pride in your Country.
He is a mentor to #45 President Donald J Trump who also loves America and We, the People who fought, bled, died for our Freedoms, Liberty, and Constitutional Republic. It's great men like Mr Harvey we NEED NOW, more than ever...to tell Truth, express beauty of our vast Land of Opportunity, uniqueness of The People who all fled Tyrrany, Oppression, Censorship, Religious condemnation, dictators, kings, suppression, communism to Begin NEW LIVES as One People, freely and willingly gave Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the united states of America, to obey and uphold out JudeoChristian foundation, values ethics morality and Principles that made America great. Wherever they came from DOESN'T MATTER! They became anew as a proud American! That's who we have been from start..and are today. Honor. Duty. Courage. Teamwork. Work ethic. Discipline. Selflessness. Fight for fellow man. "The Golden Rule." Honor 10 Commandments. Out Founding Fathers created Declaration of Independence and Constitution as firm believer We, the People have abilities, strengthened by our common beliefs in God, to govern ourselves, with Rule of Law, principles for all to follow same rules, discipline, we are Constitutional Republic which protects and defends Individual Rights of every legal American citizen!!! Grateful, mannerly, empowered people by God's law have Freedom to work hard, dream big dreams, create, improve, create innovations inventions, literature and all parts of LIFE which hearts, minds, and souls can SOAR...and they did, do!!! Today, we need men and women as PAUL HARVEY! Our children need to hear and really listen 👂 to his comments! Raise their souls with HOPE...BE PROUD of WHO We, the People are! STAND UNITED 4 LIBERTY, FREEDOM, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS NOW! Whatever current propoganda media, so-called educators are selling, is antithetical unConstitutional insidious acts Against Humanity, Against Humanity, Freedom, Liberty, our JudeoChristian foundation! Follow Conservative fighters for Liberty especially President Trump, who NEVER STOPS FIGHTING 4 US. Let's Make America Great again now! Spread the words!!
Well said. Wish I was born years ago, when We, the People were taught by Fathers and Mother's FIRST (I was), then proAmerican Patriotic Education "1776 Program" to stress Science, Math, Technical Trades, vocational training, BOOKS, CHALKBOARDS, Discipline, Manners, JudeoChristian foundation values ethics morality and Principles that MAGA! Listen to PAUL HARVEY. READ BOOKS, not internet. WWG1WWA 👍!
One of the most thoughtful, articulate men I’ve ever listened to ! God bless , you will be missed. There will never be anyone that could tell a story like Paul Harvey.
My world would stop every weekday at 12:00 just to listen to this man for many many years as I was emulating my father's routine when I was younger I too became gleefully hooked for what seemed like a lifetime. I sure do miss the wonder that was Paul Harvey.
Like clockwork I would listen to him in my car having lunch at work I was blessed to Russian and had the opportunity to hear his news each and every day rest in peace paul.
I'm sure you weren't alone as a kid, but that why we grow up. Of course, the radical, socialist-progressives teaching our kids in grade school through college to "not" grow up and remain spoiled, rotten and demanding of the selfish desires.
There is no better radio announcer, story teller than Paul Harvey. God made one man to tell the world stories that where real and inspiring, a voice that glued your ears to the radio and listened with intensity. God has him standing at his right side, ready to tell us more stories of truth and wonder. Mr. Harvey is missed by millions.
I drove for Village Cab in Oak Park, Il. part time in the mid 1960's while I was in flight school. It was my privilege to drive Mr. Harvey to O'Hare on 2 separate occasions. He was a gracious, kind man! He liked to ask questions and he was a good listener. He could have had a limousine but didn't mind my taxi. He was a good tipper, but didn't overdo it. That's all I remember.
Out of sight out of mind. I had forgotten about Paul over the past few years. We all have busy lives after all. I just stumbled across this video and was reminded of what a pure joy he was to listen to and what a national treasure he was. Rest in Peace Mr. Harvey and Thank You.
At 57 I MUST SAY "I always loved your broadcasts Mr Paul Harvey." Were we go on we go all. God is cool like that. To All fans of Paul Harvey, Let it be known I love you all no matter your race ,faith and creed. In Jesus name I pray for all to do the same.
I always had to make sure I was able to listen to him. As most of us thirsted for was his "Rest of the Story" segment which I under was written by Paul Jr..
In my opinion, there's no other Commentator that could fill this man's shoes. Paul Harvey, I've listened to him and admired his style since I was 12 years old, I'm 70 now.
Oh, I would love to hear Paul Harvey once again say “Hello Americans”. We lost a treasure when he passed. We lost someone who could captivate his listening audience with a story and the “Rest of the Story”. The tenor of his voice can never be forgotten, his civility and decency can never be discounted. He is the prime example of how radio should be today, yet those in the industry have seem to forgotten what it is all about, As Paul would say, “Good Day”.
He was our day's Poor Richard's Daily Diary. I was sooo blessed to have had him, especially in my formative years. My early bosses, co-workers, 'outside' sub-contractors and I, all listened to his broadcasts every single day for decades while building custom homes. After his noon-time airing, all was right with the world - at least for the rest of the day.
I agree, but it won't work now...with automated radio stations, and fancy tuners people don't want to hear some one like Paul Harvey..when a station airs something like that people just switch stations with a push of button. I grew up with Paul Harvey...I would not have wanted to change the station when he came on, but it would have taken a while to tune in a new station if I had.
@@almcallister6490, I disagree, as a truck driver, traveling the whole of the United States 48 contiguous states, I would search the radio for Paul Harvey. I've met many people around this great nation who felt the same way as I.
Thank you so much! It was his last sentence "Tomorrow is always better than today!" At 76, the negative news depresses more than inspires a person to think so
I'm a 38 year young, father of 4. My mom, who is 75, raised me by herself. I remember listening to Mr. Harvey every time we were in the car. I learned so much from his factual stories, over the years. When I learned of his passing, I was heart broken. The world lost a great great man that day. May he forever rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this video.
Amen bro, well said.. he will be missed, some of the best times in my life we're sitting down with my Grandparents listening to Paul Harvey when i was a kid living in South Carolina. Good times, good times.
As a speech, Drama and Broadcast student at LSU and admittedly rank amateur in 1956 at a radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I was assigned to assist Mr Harvey as he readied his daily ABC broadcast. I got there at about 6 am and he had already been there at least a couple of hours. What a great honor! I spent most of my time watching in awe and learning... he was all work and focus. I don't remember his even asking me to at least get him some water or paper or dial the phone. Complete self sufficiency! So, I got a dollar an hour to just be there...just in case. I treasure that memory and his kindness in Chicago when I was free-lancing there. It took me from that day to 1968 to finally make it to the ABC FM Network as newscaster and general assignments reporter for it and the other three radio networks of American Broadcasting. He was one of the greats who inspired be to continue my career in broadcasting and there I was, working at the same network with PAUL HARVEY! But never again as an "assistant" again. Colleague, yes...certainly but more a FAN of one of the great "originals" who will never be duplicated no matter how many copy or try to imitate or replace him!
I remember back in the 1960's when I was a teenager working for some of the older folks in the neighborhood. One lady had a brother and his family visited regularly. Along about noon the old fellow would say he was going to go sit in the car because it was time for the Paul Harvey broadcast.
I first heard Paul Harvey sitting in a Barber's chair 66 years ago, age 10 (1952) and was captivated by his wizardry with words; and remained so the rest of his life. Whenever possible I would arrange my schedule around his broadcasts. ....so missed!
I remember being a kid in grade school, my dad was a carpenter, and if he was working in the area he would join me for lunch, as us young kids were allowed to come home to eat lunch. The first thing he would do when he walked in the door, would be to put on the radio and listen to Paul Harvey. In fact I don't thing he ever missed a Paul Harvey radio show. Years later I found myself listening to him on his daily radio shows, and now I realize how important of an influence he had on my life. God Bless you Mr. Harvey, their will never be another person who could convay the news better than you did,
My mother would tune him in on our AM station our of Seattle and I loved listening to him as well. Somehow the sound of the AM broadcast added to his magic.
I remember listening to his noon hour show on Armed Forces Radio while stationed in Viet Nam. We couldn't wait to hear that wonderful voice and that great ending. "Good Day".....
Thank you for your service!! I could not get in due to asthma. Am 41 so i went trucking at 21 as my way of supporting my friends and family who serve afar.
I grew up listening to him around the lunch table on my dad's big black radio. He had that voice that held your attention...whether you were a child or adult. How we need his voice today.
My grandfather never missed a Paul Harvey's broadcast. I used to hate when he'd move the dial from my 80's top 40 pop rock to Harvey. Only later in life did I truly appreciate it. This speech is pure gold! "If life were logical, its men who would ride side saddle"
On "If I were the Devil", he could of included, "If I wanted to do away with Godly standards, at all levels I would weaken the Church, by convincing folks they could make more money and it would be more 'convenient' to do away with Blue Laws and have businesses open all week, to include Sunday. Then those who are not working, would also have something to get them away from Church. Thus goes the Church, thus goes the Nation!"
I grew up with his voice on the radio...I'll be 57 in a few days and I am still in awe of his stories and the truths behind them. He was right, he will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those that care to listen. He has touched every one of us through our imaginations. Thank God for his time here in our country and thank you to whoever posts his broadcasts to keep his charcter prevolent.
I remember going to work with my dad and we would always stop and get lunch and listen to Mr. Harvey. When possible in the Navy I'd catch him on the radio we had in the galley ( kitchen) I drove long haul and wasn't able to pass that radio lunch time on to my son... but 99% of the time was able to find him on the radio to hear the lunch time news even if it was rolling down the road. ... Thank you Sir and thank you for " the rest of the story" as well
The exit of such decency will never stand on stage or speak on the microphone with the honor he graced us with again, my ears and heart miss his offer of the "good day" and how I could use it with the garbage we have to wade through today on our multitude of media's
Good work and a classy vid to post, Art. Thank you. As a boy, my dad and I listened to Paul Harvey, while we were shoeing horses. I was born in '72, so you see the time from '77 on... Many a great story was told by that wonderful man. Every one of them, a lesson learned! ❤
My mom said that my father listened to him every day, as did she. My husband and I also listened to him as well. What a treasure he was, and nobody has nor can take his place. Thank for sharing.
NOBODY like Paul Harvey!! What a gentleman. I have thoroughly enjoyed his broadcasts for many years. Wonderful to see such love and admiration for his beloved wife and son. ❤💞💕💖
All of my life, whenever I knew, or heard Mr. Harvey on the radio. I STOPPED.No matter what was going on. He was a blessing of Words for an America that could use him more today than ever. RIP Sir. Everyone should hear your voice at least Once in their life.
Many are the times I would notice someone arriving home in their car, or at the supermarket, park, then not get out of their vehicle for a few minutes. They appeared to just sit there. When I learned that they were finishing a Paul Harvey broadcast, I began to do the same thing. He was wise, talented, and good for our country. Now I am pleased to say that Mike Rowe is doing a similar thing. It is called THAT'S THE WAY I HEARD IT. I am glad he is doing this. I don't do much online but I do catch Mike on You Tube. Mike is not trying to be a Paul Harvey. They each have their own styles. But I appreciate that he is continuing a great tradition.
I was about 9 years old, riding in the car with my dad. A man was talking on the radio. "Daddy, who is that guy?" "That's Paul Harvey." "He's pretty sharp!" That was in the mid 1950's. My opinion has never changed.
The literary genius of Paul Harvey will probably never be repeated. His humbleness is flawless, his eloquence, grace, and poise, are next level intelligence . A 10 % usage is normal, he's 12-14 %
A great Ametican...no BS about him....moral, upright, integrated never hesitant to bring God into his broadcasting!! He will be missed!! The world is a sadder place without him!
He was an Icon in news entertainment. First introduced to his show I was 16 years of age working building houses and dad and uncle would listen to him religiously on the Am Radio every day at lunch. Even as a young kid I was entertained by his stories and narratives. He was always a voice of reason for the American People.
And he has his reward! I'm glad to have lived in an era where such men were respected in their own lifetimes. Now there are few such men, and there is little respect for any kind of "tradition".
Paul Harvey was the greatest master of giving us stories of tremendous wisdom and logic in a captivating way! Thank you Sir for all the knowledge that you have given us!
grown up listening to Paul harvey in the summer time. his stories drew my attention. my grandma had the radio on am. it's nice to hear a comforting voice from my childhood!! he can never be replaced!! r.i.p. Paul harvey though you left the air waves for a better place, but thanks to you tube you are still with us
As a kid, i always listened to Paul Harvey every morning when my dad took me to school. All the news and stories he told were so fascinating to me. Even when he did advertisements for a company, to me it would seem he would make that company so trustworthy to buy from. RIP Paul. Greatly missed.
I'm obsessed with him. I political talk radio, libertarian philosophy... he's the guru I've been looking for. A well spoken man , how rare. But making a slow come back. All his stuff is so relevant to today. This man is a poetic Prophet. No doubt in my mind.
Those immortal words were never weaved together better by any human...."tomorrow ALWAYS has been better than today, and it still will be". The world is a better place for Paul Harvey having been in it, and generations were impacted by his unbelievable and unmatched gift to paint pictures for us with nothing but words. I wish my kids and grandkids could have experienced him.
I LISTENED TO MR HARVEY AS A TEEN IN HIGH SCHOOL....1958...I WAS SO GLAD TO FIND HIM ON CZcams TODAY 04/04/2019!!! SUCH RESPECT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FOR THIS GREAT MAN!!! R.I.P. MR HARVEY, I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU.
A true & honest spirit of humanity captured in an iconic legend of an over-the-air broadcaster, who has forever dynamically personified what respectable news commentating should always be! God Rest Your Soul, Mr. Harvey.
I miss hearing Paul say in the morning, “and now, the rest of the story”! That was always something we looked forward to in the 80s and 90s. He was our entertainment as we were riding or sitting at home or wherever.
What a truly amazing man! If only more people don’t aspire to be like Paul Harvey. I remember so many times driving in my car listening to “The Rest of the Story” and if I arrived at my destination before he finished his broadcast I parked and sat, listening to that wondrously expressive voice, ears pricked, waiting to hear those words that always left me with something to ponder, “And now, (Pause intended). You know, the rest of the story”. Thank you Mr. Harvey for painting those pictures in my mind, for making me, smile and laugh and sometimes cry. You are my hero.❤️✝️🇺🇸
Hi Peggy, Yep. I too would sit in the car waiting for his broadcasts to end. There was no way you could turn off the radio and get out of your car in the middle of his, "the rest of the story" stories!
So glad I had the pleasure to tune into his radio show the last few years of his life. As a young man I learned alot from his "rest of the stories." A true gentleman and class act that we may never see the likes of again.
i too am standing up and clapping . what a positive and everlasting influence this man has had on me and my family members. what a great platform we have in you tube. history and memories are preserved and at our finger tips. paul would be impressed....great post !
I miss this man, his eloquence, his statesmanship, his candor, and his Passion. We need more people like him in our country today.
Beautifully and eloquently put.
Yes 100%
Amen 🤠🙏
The saddest thing, there are generations of recent past and future generations, who will never know his voice; his greatness. Those who remember him every day at noon, are very fortunate. He was one of a kind!
I wish they would rebroadcast his entire show so the current young generations and future generations could hear a man who stood by his belief and believed in respect for others as well as himself. I found some of his recordings on audible and Apple. So many would benefit from his words. ❤
Noon, yes, but Friday, oh yes, Friday - Good morning Americans, ITS FRIDAY!!
We can share him and his wisdom
@@nylben1 YES!
@@amechealle5918 The current media is in bed with the Communists. Therefore, they’ll never broadcast his wisdom.
I grew up listening to his baritone voice describing with great detail every story he told, his daily monologs were spell binding learning to use your imagination in every story he told. A man of great words, and a true American hero of the literary word. RIP, Paul you are dearly missed.
@Hello Bob how are you doing
And now you know the rest of the story. Paul Harvey will always be a timeless voice...and amazing man. RIP

God has him standing at his right side, ready to tell us more stories of truth and wonder. Mr. Harvey is missed by millions.
❤
one like paul doesn"t come by very often,goood day
When a man reaches for the stars I only hope he does so with the humility of Harvey when he gets his hands on one.
if there is a god he is sitting at his side telling him stories
@Melinda Shriver sorry but faith isn't a virtue it's a failure of intellect. Belief without evidence is how people are controlled by others.
I learned from listening to this man through the years. The Rest of the Story was my favorite.
I drove for Village Cab in Oak Park, Il. part time in the mid 1960's while I was in flight school. It was my privilege to drive Mr. Harvey to O'Hare on 2 separate occasions. He was a gracious, kind man! He liked to ask questions and he was a good listener. He could have had a limousine but didn't mind my taxi. He was a good tipper, but didn't overdo it. That's all I remember.
Out of sight out of mind. I had forgotten about Paul over the past few years. We all have busy lives after all. I just stumbled across this video and was reminded of what a pure joy he was to listen to and what a national treasure he was. Rest in Peace Mr. Harvey and Thank You.
Mr Harvey...….you were simply the best...…...a national treasure, and you will be missed!!!
At 57 I MUST SAY "I always loved your broadcasts Mr Paul Harvey."
Were we go on we go all.
God is cool like that.
To All fans of Paul Harvey, Let it be known I love you all no matter your race ,faith and creed. In Jesus name I pray for all to do the same.
Had a flashback listening to this. As a young boy my mother had him on everyday, no matter where she was in the house. Thank you for the memories! ☦️
OH how we need men like Paul Harvey today!
I drove long distance for 30 years. Sometimes i would get lucky and find him three times a day. I heard the same story over and over.
garen garson YOU just might be that man, Garen.
Mike Rowe comes close.
@@Mark-yb1sp Actually I've been thinking of running for office...
@jasen vernor
Interesting
I miss Paul Harvey so much. He was a regular part of my daily routie, for many years.
Same here
Me too..always searched the airwaves while on the delivery truck..somewhere around lunchtime usually..and he never let us down..
I always had to make sure I was able to listen to him. As most of us thirsted for was his "Rest of the Story" segment which I under was written by Paul Jr..
me too never be another one ☹
In my opinion, there's no other Commentator that could fill this man's shoes. Paul Harvey, I've listened to him and admired his style since I was 12 years old, I'm 70 now.
Oh, I would love to hear Paul Harvey once again say “Hello Americans”. We lost a treasure when he passed. We lost someone who could captivate his listening audience with a story and the “Rest of the Story”. The tenor of his voice can never be forgotten, his civility and decency can never be discounted. He is the prime example of how radio should be today, yet those in the industry have seem to forgotten what it is all about, As Paul would say, “Good Day”.
We need men like him now more then never now
He was our day's Poor Richard's Daily Diary. I was sooo blessed to have had him, especially in my formative years. My early bosses, co-workers, 'outside' sub-contractors and I, all listened to his broadcasts every single day for decades while building custom homes. After his noon-time airing, all was right with the world - at least for the rest of the day.
I agree, but it won't work now...with automated radio stations, and fancy tuners people don't want to hear some one like Paul Harvey..when a station airs something like that people just switch stations with a push of button. I grew up with Paul Harvey...I would not have wanted to change the station when he came on, but it would have taken a while to tune in a new station if I had.
@@almcallister6490, I disagree, as a truck driver, traveling the whole of the United States 48 contiguous states, I would search the radio for Paul Harvey. I've met many people around this great nation who felt the same way as I.
Why don’t you be one then?
Yes common sense and fun stories He taught.
probably the most wise and honorable man Ive ever heard speak publicly
STILL the most recognizable voice in journalism.
Thank you so much! It was his last sentence "Tomorrow is always better than today!"
At 76, the negative news depresses more than inspires a person to think so
I'm a 38 year young, father of 4. My mom, who is 75, raised me by herself. I remember listening to Mr. Harvey every time we were in the car. I learned so much from his factual stories, over the years. When I learned of his passing, I was heart broken. The world lost a great great man that day. May he forever rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this video.
Paul Harvey was truly a representative man of the people and above all a man of god.
Amen bro, well said.. he will be missed, some of the best times in my life we're sitting down with my Grandparents listening to Paul Harvey when i was a kid living in South Carolina. Good times, good times.

Paul Harvey is (was) badass!!
As a speech, Drama and Broadcast student at LSU and admittedly rank amateur in 1956 at a radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I was assigned to assist Mr Harvey as he readied his daily ABC broadcast. I got there at about 6 am and he had already been there at least a couple of hours. What a great honor! I spent most of my time watching in awe and learning... he was all work and focus. I don't remember his even asking me to at least get him some water or paper or dial the phone. Complete self sufficiency! So, I got a dollar an hour to just be there...just in case. I treasure that memory and his kindness in Chicago when I was free-lancing there. It took me from that day to 1968 to finally make it to the ABC FM Network as newscaster and general assignments reporter for it and the other three radio networks of American Broadcasting. He was one of the greats who inspired be to continue my career in broadcasting and there I was, working at the same network with PAUL HARVEY! But never again as an "assistant" again. Colleague, yes...certainly but more a FAN of one of the great "originals" who will never be duplicated no matter how many copy or try to imitate or replace him!
I used to listen to Paul Harvey in the military while stationed in Europe in the 70s and 80s. It was the start of every day. Thank you
He was the master of pace and the spoken word. A brilliant man.
I remember back in the 1960's when I was a teenager working for some of the older folks in the neighborhood.
One lady had a brother and his family visited regularly. Along about noon the old fellow would say he was going to go sit in the car because it was time for the Paul Harvey broadcast.
I first heard Paul Harvey sitting in a Barber's chair 66 years ago, age 10 (1952) and was captivated by his wizardry with words; and remained so the rest of his life. Whenever possible I would arrange my schedule around his broadcasts. ....so missed!
I remember being a kid in grade school, my dad was a carpenter, and if he was working in the area he would join me for lunch, as us young kids were allowed to come home to eat lunch. The first thing he would do when he walked in the door, would be to put on the radio and listen to Paul Harvey. In fact I don't thing he ever missed a Paul Harvey radio show. Years later I found myself listening to him on his daily radio shows, and now I realize how important of an influence he had on my life. God Bless you Mr. Harvey, their will never be another person who could convay the news better than you did,
He was the definition of class. His Saturday broacasts hooked me at 14 years old, on a little 250 watt local AM station, and I sure do miss him.
My mother would tune him in on our AM station our of Seattle and I loved listening to him as well. Somehow the sound of the AM broadcast added to his magic.
I listened to him on WABC AM at noon everyday!
Paul Harvey...... good day
I remember listening to his noon hour show on Armed Forces Radio while stationed in Viet Nam. We couldn't wait to hear that wonderful voice and that great ending. "Good Day".....
Thank you for your service!! I could not get in due to asthma. Am 41 so i went trucking at 21 as my way of supporting my friends and family who serve afar.
I grew up listening to him around the lunch table on my dad's big black radio. He had that voice that held your attention...whether you were a child or adult. How we need his voice today.
My grandfather never missed a Paul Harvey's broadcast. I used to hate when he'd move the dial from my 80's top 40 pop rock to Harvey. Only later in life did I truly appreciate it. This speech is pure gold! "If life were logical, its men who would ride side saddle"
We are a Poorer Society for his Passing
Jim what a wonderful statement
Indeed, he was a legend in Radio Broadcasting. There probably will never again be his like!
Well said Jim so true
and now for the rest of the story, Yes we are
We needed him cloned
What an intelligent guy. I grew up listening to him. Always fascinating stories and the best delivery I have ever heard.
Listen to "If i were the Devil"....still spot on 70 years later...
On "If I were the Devil", he could of included, "If I wanted to do away with Godly standards, at all levels I would weaken the Church, by convincing folks they could make more money and it would be more 'convenient' to do away with Blue Laws and have businesses open all week, to include Sunday.
Then those who are not working, would also have something to get them away from Church. Thus goes the Church, thus goes the Nation!"
I grew up with his voice on the radio...I'll be 57 in a few days and I am still in awe of his stories and the truths behind them.
He was right, he will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those that care to listen. He has touched every one of us through our imaginations. Thank God for his time here in our country and thank you to whoever posts his broadcasts to keep his charcter prevolent.
Happy Birthday 🎂💝
His pace and rhythm is unmatched
I could listen to Paul Harvey read the phone book and be riveted by it.
Very true, same here
Paul Harvey said he made up his mind to live forever. He does and will.
he would probably say everyone in this book has a story.here are some of them.
One of the most inspiring speakers I ever heard in my life. Always loved hearing his spots on the radio and “Now you know the *rest* of the story…”
I remember going to work with my dad and we would always stop and get lunch and listen to Mr. Harvey.
When possible in the Navy I'd catch him on the radio we had in the galley ( kitchen)
I drove long haul and wasn't able to pass that radio lunch time on to my son... but 99% of the time was able to find him on the radio to hear the lunch time news even if it was rolling down the road. ... Thank you Sir and thank you for
" the rest of the story" as well
The exit of such decency will never stand on stage or speak on the microphone with the honor he graced us with again, my ears and heart miss his offer of the "good day" and how I could use it with the garbage we have to wade through today on our multitude of media's
GREW UP WITH "PAUL HARVEY NEWS" he was an HONEST MAN, easy to LISTEN TOO...
@Hello Davison how are you doing
Good work and a classy vid to post, Art. Thank you. As a boy, my dad and I listened to Paul Harvey, while we were shoeing horses. I was born in '72, so you see the time from '77 on... Many a great story was told by that wonderful man. Every one of them, a lesson learned! ❤
The beauty of CZcams. You can listen to his radio stories without commercial interruption.
So eloquent...so humble.
We need his love, optism, and truth in today's journalism! Bring back real concern for your fellow Americans!
Well just bring back Conservative journalism ,,,
Live what you say. Say what you mean. Put your money where your mouth is. These are the lessons us and our children need to learn.
My mom said that my father listened to him every day, as did she. My husband and I also listened to him as well. What a treasure he was, and nobody has nor can take his place. Thank for sharing.
What a gift to have these videos from one of the wisest men in my lifetime.
He'll always be the GREATEST in the business. I sure do miss his verbal comfort.
NOBODY like Paul Harvey!! What a gentleman. I have thoroughly enjoyed his broadcasts for many years. Wonderful to see such love and admiration for his beloved wife and son. ❤💞💕💖
All of my life, whenever I knew, or heard Mr. Harvey on the radio. I STOPPED.No matter what was going on. He was a blessing of Words for an America that could use him more today than ever. RIP Sir. Everyone should hear your voice at least Once in their life.
@Hello Jim how are you doing
‘’And that is the rest of the story” loved listening to his stories on the radio. A national treasure !
Many are the times I would notice someone arriving home in their car, or at the supermarket, park, then not get out of their vehicle for a few minutes. They appeared to just sit there. When I learned that they were finishing a Paul Harvey broadcast, I began to do the same thing.
He was wise, talented, and good for our country.
Now I am pleased to say that Mike Rowe is doing a similar thing. It is called THAT'S THE WAY I HEARD IT. I am glad he is doing this. I don't do much online but I do catch Mike on You Tube.
Mike is not trying to be a Paul Harvey. They each have their own styles. But I appreciate that he is continuing a great tradition.
I was about 9 years old, riding in the car with my dad. A man was talking on the radio. "Daddy, who is that guy?"
"That's Paul Harvey."
"He's pretty sharp!" That was in the mid 1950's. My opinion has never changed.
The literary genius of Paul Harvey will probably never be repeated. His humbleness is flawless, his eloquence, grace, and poise, are next level intelligence . A 10 % usage is normal, he's 12-14 %
A great Ametican...no BS about him....moral, upright, integrated never hesitant to bring God into his broadcasting!! He will be missed!! The world is a sadder place without him!
He was an Icon in news entertainment. First introduced to his show I was 16 years of age working building houses and dad and uncle would listen to him religiously on the Am Radio every day at lunch. Even as a young kid I was entertained by his stories and narratives.
He was always a voice of reason for the American People.
Now THIS was a great man.
There was only one Paul Harvey! Wow. Listening to some of his broadcasts, you'd think he was broadcasting today. Amazing.
The voice of of moral reason and hope, is surely missed in today’s world in broadcasting.
...So God made a radio broadcaster.
And he has his reward! I'm glad to have lived in an era where such men were respected in their own lifetimes. Now there are few such men, and there is little respect for any kind of "tradition".
This guy is a magnate. We have lost a dear son. He will not come back to us but, we will go to where he is. And that is the rest of the story.....
Well SAID sir!
@John Thompson,,I am so sorry for your pain. Yes, you will be with him again.
Paul Harvey was the greatest master of giving us stories of tremendous wisdom and logic in a captivating way! Thank you Sir for all the knowledge that you have given us!
I So Love Everything Paul Harvey has written to educate us on the Truth!🇺🇸❤🙏
Such a Truly Wise Man; If Only We'd ALL Listened More Closely❤🇺🇸🙏
I really miss Paul Harvey, when we look at today’s news Folks, there’s no comparison!
Yes Mahoney none whatsoever
The man is unforgettable.
grown up listening to Paul harvey in the summer time. his stories drew my attention. my grandma had the radio on am. it's nice to hear a comforting voice from my childhood!! he can never be replaced!! r.i.p. Paul harvey though you left the air waves for a better place, but thanks to you tube you are still with us
As a kid, i always listened to Paul Harvey every morning when my dad took me to school. All the news and stories he told were so fascinating to me. Even when he did advertisements for a company, to me it would seem he would make that company so trustworthy to buy from. RIP Paul. Greatly missed.
Miss you, and now you know the rest of the story.
I'm obsessed with him.
I political talk radio, libertarian philosophy... he's the guru I've been looking for.
A well spoken man , how rare.
But making a slow come back.
All his stuff is so relevant to today.
This man is a poetic Prophet.
No doubt in my mind.
I remember listening to him on the school bus every morning. A true icon
Those immortal words were never weaved together better by any human...."tomorrow ALWAYS has been better than today, and it still will be". The world is a better place for Paul Harvey having been in it, and generations were impacted by his unbelievable and unmatched gift to paint pictures for us with nothing but words. I wish my kids and grandkids could have experienced him.
I LISTENED TO MR HARVEY AS A TEEN IN HIGH SCHOOL....1958...I WAS SO GLAD TO FIND HIM ON CZcams TODAY 04/04/2019!!! SUCH RESPECT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FOR THIS GREAT MAN!!! R.I.P. MR HARVEY, I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU.
An American treasure that CANNOT be replaced! Requiescat in.pace!! 😢
A true & honest spirit of humanity captured in an iconic legend of an over-the-air broadcaster, who has forever dynamically personified what respectable news commentating should always be! God Rest Your Soul, Mr. Harvey.
I had forgotten now, I realize why I loved him so. Genious
I always loved listening to Paul Harvey as I crisis-crossed this great land. He was and is a great American Icon!
Loved him and he really had some great moments and information to make you think
I was always mezmorized by his voice, and couldn't wait to hear....
The rest of the story..
Amen
I miss hearing Paul say in the morning, “and now, the rest of the story”! That was always something we looked forward to in the 80s and 90s. He was our entertainment as we were riding or sitting at home or wherever.
Bravo! Humility in even an almost mystical individual seems nearly unheard of these days. We have lost so much.
One of the most distinctive voices in radio. I miss him so much.
What a truly amazing man! If only more people don’t aspire to be like Paul Harvey. I remember so many times driving in my car listening to “The Rest of the Story” and if I arrived at my destination before he finished his broadcast I parked and sat, listening to that wondrously expressive voice, ears pricked, waiting to hear those words that always left me with something to ponder, “And now, (Pause intended). You know, the rest of the story”. Thank you Mr. Harvey for painting those pictures in my mind, for making me, smile and laugh and sometimes cry. You are my hero.❤️✝️🇺🇸
Peggy Radeck I sat beside you in the driveway along with our fellow Americans. This guy still jerks a tear from my eye, he is that good.
Hi Peggy, Yep. I too would sit in the car waiting for his broadcasts to end. There was no way you could turn off the radio and get out of your car in the middle of his, "the rest of the story" stories!
So glad I had the pleasure to tune into his radio show the last few years of his life. As a young man I learned alot from his "rest of the stories." A true gentleman and class act that we may never see the likes of again.
i too am standing up and clapping . what a positive and everlasting influence this man has had on me and my family members. what a great platform we have in you tube. history and memories are preserved and at our finger tips. paul would be impressed....great post !
