I recently heard a very charming song on the radio and can not seem to find out the title or artist. It is done by a male quartet with a female lead with an intrumental break. Some of the lyrics are: "You don't have to play my request, but I hope that you'll do your best. I've been listening to your show on the radio and you seem like a friend to me." Hope someone out there recognises this gem.

PILOT OF THE AIRWAVES
Charlie Dore

CHORUS: Pilot of the airwaves,
Here is my request.
You don't have to play it,
But I hope you'll do your best.
I've been listening to your show
On the radio,
And you seem like a friend to me.

Or a record of your choice.
I don' t mind. I'd be happy just to hear your voice
Saying, "This is for the girl
Who didn't sign her name."
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same

BRIDGE: Late at night I'm still listening.
Don' t waste my time chasing sleep.
People say I look weary,
But that 's just the company I keep.
Ooooh, you make the nighttime race.
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face.
You're sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me.

REPEAT CHORUS, REPEAT BRIDGE
You're sounding so good to me.
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me.
REPEAT CHORUS

[Charlie Dore appears to be female, if that's her picture on the album cover.]
