WHLI is a radio station located at 1100 AM broadcasting a standards format. Licensed to Hempstead, New York, the station has its studios in Farmingdale, New York and is owned by the Long Island Radio Group, itself a subsidiary of Barnstable Broadcasting.

History

WHLI was first licensed in 1947 to Paul and Elias Godofsky, the owners of WLIB/New York from 1942 to 1944. WHLI began broadcasting local radio just as the nearby potato fields of Island Trees, Long Island were being replaced by houses in Levittown. Long Island was becoming one of America's most lucrative markets. It was one of the first AM/FM pairs. Its FM sister at 98.3FM actually first went on air a short while before WHLI as WHNY. (98.3FM would assume the WHLI-FM calls on January 1, 1948, later becoming WIOK and today is known as "K-JOY" WKJY).

WHLI began as a 250w non-directional AM station at 1100 and was given permission to raise its power to the current 10 kW two-tower directional signal by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1960. It is a "daytimer" and must either reduce power or sign-off at local sunset as it broadcasts on the same frequency as WTAM in Cleveland. The WHLI towers are located next to the Southern State Parkway in Hempstead near the Baldwin Road/Grand Avenue exit. They are a popular landmark as signage touting the WHLI call letters and dial position (1100) have been mounted on the main tower for decades for passing motorists to see.

According to the book ''The Airwaves Of New York''', programming on WHLI in 1947 included dinner music from the syndicated program "Candlelight and Silver" and that the station "looked to the local audience for talent and encouraged amateurs and professionals to audition, welcoming everyone from classical musicians to pop singers and comedians."

From the first day, WHLI aimed to an upscale audience. As "The Voice Of Long Island", the station became the dominant local station in Nassau County with a decent signal into Suffolk and Queens counties. By the early 1950s, WHLI's "Commuter's Time" was the top-rated morning show. The rest of the broadcast day was filled with "familiar good music and local news". The station aired concerts from The Long Island Pops and hours of "Music From The Country Club".

In the 1970s, WHLI played popular music as a Top 40 station, but on Saturday January 21, 1979 it changed to Al Ham's then-new "Music Of Your Life" format. WHLI continues as a locally programmed, top-rated station today playing adult standards with news from CNN and their own news staff.

Studios

WHLI's first offices and studios were in a frame house at 245 Baldwin Road, Hempstead, NY. They stayed there until 1957 when they moved to 384 Clinton Street in Hempstead. (The small street on the north side of the station building was renamed WHLI Way and is still on the map today.) They moved to the third floor of 1055 Franklin Avenue in neighboring Garden City in 1991 and remained there until 2001, when Barnstable consolidated operations for WHLI, WKJY, WBZO & WMJC into a newly designed and constructed- management, sales, promotions and technical operations center at 234 Airport Plaza, Farmingdale, NY. This consolidation makes it the largest, privately owned, radio broadcast facility in New York.

Ownership

WHLI and its FM were run by the Godofskys until February 1979, when they were sold to Williams Broadcasting Corporation for $1.5 million. They were sold again in 1984 to Barnstable Broadcasting, this time for $5.0 million.

Dean Anthony was born in Brooklyn, and he had been one of New York's most listened to personalities since 1964 when he came "back home" after honing his skills in Virginia and Washington DC.

Joining the WMCA "good guys", he quickly gathered a large audience where none existed…. in the middle of the night…playing the hits of The Beatles, The Stones and The Four Seasons and interacting with the audience" one on one" with his "Actors and Actresses" and "Group Therapy"

When the "good guys" run ended in 1970, he switched to "Country Music on WJRZ", then "97/WWDJ Rock & Roll" until 1971 when he joined "beautiful music WTFM"…a nice job, but Dean says it was like being in semi-retirement. In 1977 WTFM switched formats to become New York's first "soft rock" station. Dean did the mid-day, then overnight show until 1981 when a labor dispute resulted in a strike.

The 9-month strike was the proverbial blessing in disguise since that lead to a temporary job on WHLI Long Island, which lasted 22 years.

His schools were Lafayette in Brooklyn and Brooklyn College.

Dean died in October 2003. There is a scholarship at Hofstra University in his memory. There is a great picture of Dean when he was in Washington DC and the Beatles prominently displayed in the lobby of WHLI studios at Airport Plaza in Farmingdale, NY. (BR)

Linda Eder (born February 3, 1961) is an American singer and actress. She made her Broadway debut in the musical ''Jekyll & Hyde'', for which she received 1997 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Nominations, as well as the Theatre World Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Eder is also featured on the concept albums of several other Broadway shows, such as ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'' and ''The Civil War''.

Biography

Eder was born in Tucson, Arizona on February 3, 1961 and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota. Her parents, Georg (from Austria) and Leila (from Norway), exposed her to music at an early age. She cites Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Eileen Farrell as her childhood inspiration. Eder denotes Garland, specifically, as her greatest influence.

Eder has performed on numerous occasions at New York's Carnegie Hall and Palace Theater, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, at the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, State Theatre in Minneapolis, Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre, at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, and at the Wortham Center in Houston.

Before her work on Broadway, Eder gained experience in the entertainment industry. She teamed up with classmate Paul Todd, who had won international awards for his piano and organ playing, and began the "Paul and Linda Show". They traveled all over the U.S. performing concerts. After the duo went separate ways, Eder found herself as a lounge singer at the famous Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. After someone suggested that she should strive for better opportunities, Eder tried her hand at the talent show, ''Star Search'', where she reigned undefeated for a record 13 weeks. Her performance caught the notice of Angel Records and, subsequently, Frank Wildhorn. She starred in two 1991 stagings of his musical ''Svengali'', the 1990 World Premiere, 1995-6 National Tour, and 1997 Broadway production of his ''Jekyll & Hyde'', and the 2003 World Premiere of ''Camille Claudel''. The two married in 1998 and divorced in 2004; they have one son, Jake. Eder is a recipient of the Theater World Award (1996–97) for her work in ''Jekyll & Hyde''.

During Eder & Wildhorn's high-time on Broadway, she received much attention for not only her Broadway vocals, but her pop-albums as well. She made frequent appearances on the ''Rosie O'Donnell Show'' and ''Live with Regis and Kathie Lee'', as well as countless other talkshows, especially displaying her vocal abilities. She also appeared on ''Late Show with David Letterman'', guest hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford while Letterman recovered from heart bypass surgery. Gifford and O'Donnell often proclaimed Eder among the best voices they have ever heard. On O'Donnell's show, she would often be seen playing a clip of Linda's famous single "Vienna," at random moments. She was invited to Gifford's final performance on "Live..." and sang the song "Anything Can Happen," which was written for the musical ''Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure'', and will have its world premiere in 2011 at last (although not starring Eder).

Linda lists her first musical theatre credit to her high school days as the Mother Abbess in ''The Sound of Music''. The first professional Broadway musical production, a national tour, she saw was ''Evita'', a role which she had once expressed interest in playing.

Broadway

As mentioned above, Linda's major theatrical career began in 1988, when she auditioned in Florida in front of musical theater composer Frank Wildhorn for the leading role of Lucy in ''Jekyll & Hyde''. Very impressed with her vocal skills, she was immediately cast, although no production was planned at that time.

Jekyll and Hyde

In 1990, the Alley Theatre in Houston agreed to host the world premiere of ''Jekyll & Hyde'', the first musical ever performed there. The show was extended several times, and Eder received raves for her performance. Following this triumph, Wildhorn debuted the musical ''Svengali'', starring his two leading performers from ''Jekyll'': Linda and Chuck Wagner. The musical also eventually played at the Asolo Theatre in Sarasota Florida in 1991. She then performed with several workshops for ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'', as the leading lady Marguerite St. Just.

In 1995, after several workshops with ''Jekyll & Hyde'', she was once again Lucy; Robert Cuccioli and Christiane Noll starred opposite her. The show debuted at the Theatre Under the Stars in Houston, before moving to Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre. Following these two successful runs, Linda's headlining stint as Lucy traveled across the national from Fall 1995 until Spring 1996, with a hopeful Broadway mounting then. However, the show was delayed.

Finally beginning previews the following March 1997, new creative team members joined, which Linda has both said helped the production greatly, but was also its downfall. Along with the transfer came the dismissal of Lucy's first big number, "Bring on the Men." Although several rumors have circulated as to why it was cut, Linda has said that Director/Choreographer/Scenic Designer Robin Phillips felt that it was unnecessary, did not fit the piece, and a more friendly approach was necessary. Linda on her Greatest Album hits mentions that it was his "stupid decision" to cut the song, which was one of her favourites from the piece. She has however given some praise to him, mostly due to the acting coaching he gave to her. Linda was rewarded with 1997 Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, and a 1997 Theatre World Award for her debut performance. Critics such as Regis Philbin and Rosie O'Donnell considered Eder robbed of a Tony Award nomination, both of which had featured her (and Frank Wildhorn and his other musicals) on their respective shows several times. Eder was married to Wildhorn whilst performing on Broadway, and officially left on August 30, 1998. Luba Mason replaced her. During this time, rehearsals were about to begin for ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'' SP 2.0 to begin, in which many thought Linda would be joining as Marguerite. However, Linda declined (as she was to have a child) and instead Rachel York was cast.

Linda performed for several workshops and demo recordings for Mr. Wildhorn. Most importantly, she did several tracks for his ''Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure'' (previously called "Alice"), which is having its world premiere ten years after the first single ("Anything Can Happen") was released, ''Havana'' (for which she has released the title song and several others), ''Bonnie & Clyde: A New Musical'' (which was to recently star Brandi Burkhardt, but now Laura Osnes, having its world premiere in 2009), ''Dracula, the Musical'' as Mina, ''Cyrano de Bergerac'' ~ The Musical as Roxanne (opposite Douglas Sills in the title role), and finally ''Camille Claudel'', which was written for specifically her, and she was able to perform at 2 runs - one at Goodspeed Opera House and once at the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Linda's next musical outing was in ''Camille Claudel'' in 2003. She performed the role twice that year, at the Goodspeed Opera House. Although the show, presented in an entire chamber-style form, received mixed reviews, Linda gained much attention again. In 2004, it was performed at the New York Musical Theatre Festival however, the show has yet to be produced on a major scale, although several European productions were planned - then scrapped.

The Other Side of Me

Released on September 30, 2008, her new CD ''The Other Side of Me'' has a pop/country feel. This is a departure from the style she is known for which is standards and ballads. Her official site www.LindaEder.com has a posting where Linda says "It took a year and a half to make my new CD, the other side of me, but in reality, it has been a lifetime in the making."

She goes on to say: {{blockquote|As a kid I was a talented but undisciplined piano student. So in one of our early changes of address, the upright piano was left behind. As a young teenager I bought myself a cheap acoustic guitar so I would have a way to accompany my inner poet. What I wrote in those early years and the voice that I used to sing was the truest expression of who I really am. There were no outside influences to color or shape the vowels or direct the emotions. There was no record of past performances to measure up to, just my own words, my own history, and my own voice.

I have finally been given the chance to strip away the costume and sing without the voice of others in my head. I've traveled a long road to find my way back home and I have found it. ''The Other Side of Me'' is my voice.}}

Victoria Hart (born 25 November 1988) is a California-born English jazz-pop singer.

Early years

Hart studied vocals at London music school Vocaltech (Part of Tech Music Schools).

Hart attended an International School in Mougins and finished her GCSEs in the summer of 2004. Having finished school and exams for the summer, she sang jazz to friends and family.

Discovery

At age 15, while living with her parents in France, she was heard singing at a party in a vineyard by producer Geoff Gurd who was so impressed he took her under his wing and began recording her.

Shortly afterward Hart recorded for the first time at Gurd's recording studio. Gurd has written several songs specifically for Hart. Hart, Gurd and Lynne Pearson formed a team of singer, writer/producer and manager who, together with a promotional team, developed Hart's debut album released in June 2007.

In May 2006 she performed at the Cannes Film Festival, Alex Proud heard Hart perform at the Pangea Club and later invited her to sing at the opening night of his new bar and gallery in London, At Proud. The audience included journalists and club owners and from this she was asked to perform at The Pigalle Club, in Piccadilly in London. Hart supported the Blue Harlem group.

In 2007, while working as a singing waitress at the Naked Turtle restaurant in London, the 18-year-old Hart was invited to perform for a benefit party during the Cannes Film Festival hosted by George Clooney and other stars, including Brad Pitt. The story was a press sensation and not soon after Hart had signed a purportedly one-million-dollar contract with Decca Records. This led to the "singing waitress" nickname.

Musical style

Her style has been described as a "renaissance of all things kitsch and fabulously forties", while Decca music mogul Mark Cavell hailed her as, "the Lily Allen of Jazz and if she's good enough for George and Brad she's good enough for Decca.". Her musical hero is Ella Fitzgerald.

''Whatever Happened to Romance''

Her debut album ''Whatever Happened to Romance'' was released on 30 June 2007 and peaked at the number 22 position on the Billboard Top Jazz Album list.

''The Lost Gershwin''

On 27 October 2008 she released ''The Lost Gershwin'', an album of lesser-known songs by George Gershwin. The string quartet Pavao provides backup.

Touring and live appearances

On 1 June 2008, Hart performed at the Southport International Jazz Festival.

During June and July 2008, Hart appeared as the special guest of tenor Russell Watson on his United Kingdom tour. She performed two songs solo and one duet with Watson.

She also performed live on The Today Show on 5 July 2008.

In December 2008, Hart made an impromptu guest appearance with the Guards Big Band at a Super Busking gig in London's Covent Garden as part of Covent Garden's Christmas Delight celebrations. The performance took place in-sync with a visual light display by United Visual Artists in aid of homeless charity Crisis. The live performances can be seen exclusively on the Covent Garden website.

In 2009, Hart performed before British troops in Afghanistan. Before embarking on the trip she took advice from Dame Vera Lynn who performed similar duties in World War II.

In February 2010, Hart appeared at the King’s Head Theatre, Islington, as a guest artist in Taboo-Be-Do! Hits and Misses from the Politically Incorrect Songbook, a show compiled and performed by Terence Terence Blacker and Derek Hewitson of the duo Something Happened. The show was later performed at festivals, including the Hay Festival, and the Aldeburgh Literary Festival.
