Book Cover & Preview Text
The first week of August 1969 found radio stations across the nation receiving Aurora’s Fire’s new record. The press release informed the media that the song title was a single word. During his radio show the Monday after its release, Harley debuted the record.
“This is the new song from our favorite sons here in Colorado. Here is Aurora’s Fire’s ‘Forever,’” Harley said.
As Harley began to play the song, he failed to notice that he had placed “Touch” on the deck. Thirty seconds into the song, Harley realized he had made a mistake. This wasn’t “Forever” playing. He had no choice but to let “Touch” finish playing, even though he had debuted it by mistake.
Something very miraculous began to happen that evening. Suddenly, as the song began to finish, the KARO’s phone lines began to light up. Many wanted to know the song title and when it would be available for sale. After a deluge of phone calls, Harley had a plan. He would play “Forever,” and then play “Touch.”
