Caption reads: Harv Moore (right) welcomes David Gates (formerly of Bread) to WPGC. David's current single at the time was, 'Sail Around The World' and would debut on the WPGC All Hit Music survey the following week, peaking on #23 on 11/17/73.

A native of Pelham, New York, Harv Moore arrived at WPGC in the Spring of 1963 from WFKY in Frankfort, Kentucky. Initially, he did nights on the FM till sign off at midnight.

Within a few months, Harv succeeded 'Jerry G' (Ghan) in Morning Drive when he left for KYW, then in Cleveland. Just days afterwards, the JFK assassination occurred. Learn more of Harv's remembrances of the event.

Harv was one of the elite Washington DJ's invited to be present at the Beatles first concert in DC in February, 1964. It was at that concert that he met his future wife, Vicki.

He had been doing mornings at WPGC for nearly a decade when his show was rebranded as, 'Harv Moore & Company', reflecting the ever-growing cast of characters he voiced such as the smart-aleck, 'Orville', the nearly senile, 'Gramps', the loveable but dim-witted, 'Kay Sera' and the 'The Colonel', a Southern Gentleman always in search of inventing the next Really Big Thing.

Best remembered as his sidekick was, 'The Red Head'. Originally portrayed by Vicki, the role was taken over by Harv's secretary, Joanie Fierstein in the early '70's who was also one of the original WPGC Money Girls.

Harv would leave for Buffalo in January, 1975 after accepting an offer from former WPGC General Manager, Bob Howard in Buffalo.

Sadly, Harv passed away of complications from Covid on 12/21/25.

It took yet another change in labels before they claimed their first #1 with, 'Midnight Train To Georgia'. After 8 years with Motown they searched for and found greener pastures (not to mention greener cash) at Buddah. Having had previous success with a Jim Weatherly tune in the form of 'Neither', they once again returned to his songbook for 'Midnight', a song originally titled, 'Midnight Plane To Houston'. Ironically, the song was first recorded by another Houston by the name of Cissy who had an R&B hit with it after changing the lyrics. Weatherly's publisher also forwarded the song to Gladys & The Pips who hit #1 nationally with it on the Pop charts and spent its first of three consecutive weeks at #1 on the WPGC All Hit Music survey today in 1973. See enlargement.

Weatherly wrote the tune loosely based on himself. Having been quarterback at Mississippi, a career with the NFL didn't work out for him. He then went to LA to write songs. There, he was in a rec football league with Lee Majors and called him at home one night. Farrah Fawcett who had just started dating Lee answered and said she was about to return home, taking 'the midnight plane to Houston'. Regardless of it being a plane or train, afterwards the group had three more Top Ten hits. Among other notables on the song were Meco Menardo on trombone and Tony Camillo on piano who also produced the track. Accolades in later years included their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 while the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
