Unbelievable! I thought this one would never get solved. Twcclassics, do you happen to have a website of the same name? If so, it's great!

Good news! I found the artist yesterday. It's Roy Buchanan. The song is called "Sunset Over Broadway."

I'd love to know what the title and who the artist of this song is, too. Been searching for FOREVER, it feels like. Sounds like it could possibly be a teaming of Dave Lanz & Paul Speer, and I am researching that, as we speak. (What is "H" Flavor?)

Aw, that's it? Drat. Actually, I was hoping for something more.... See, it was because of this early exposure to synthpop (having been introduced to that sample when I was roughly 7 years old) that I feel fully established me as a synthpop fan years before I really got into the Eighties as a pop cultural thing, so I kinda feel that TWC is responsible for my most personally defining pop cultural love. So.

I think I remember what you're talking about. Didn't they have a pic of a small town all lit up at night and the caption said "stay tuned for your local forecast" or something like that?
I would really like to know who does this. It's bugged me for years!

You and me both. It's one of the great "unknowns" in TWC's history.

It almost sounds like it could be taken from a Dire Straits song. The chord progression, which is slightly bluesy, sounds like something they would do. But I'm not sure it is them. What *I'm* driving myself crazy about is finding a segment of the Weather Channel local forecast featuring the Eurythmics' "Here Comes The Rain Again". It's played a very seminal role in my life and I would love it if I could find it.

Check out the "Olympic Forecast" elsewhere in the video collection.
