This Month Sunrise Radio Spotlights the Philly Sound Record Label Cameo/Parkway
YOU CAN'T FIND THIS ANYMORE
“Memory Mountain / Sittin’ and Thinkin’” Pairing
: “Sunrise Radio… You Can’t Find This Anymore. Every now and then, two records from two different worlds end up speaking the same quiet truth. First up, Pat Boone — stepping away from the spotlight and climbing a little higher than folks expected — with a country‑gospel moment from the London vaults called ‘Memory Mountain.’ It’s a song that feels like Sunday afternoon after the storm… just you, the sky, and whatever memories decide to visit.”
“And right after that… we walk into the Sun studio in Memphis. Charlie Rich at the piano — no hurry, no crowd, just a man sorting through the past in that Sam Phillips echo chamber. This one’s called ‘Sittin’ and Thinkin’.’ Two different artists… one long climb through the heart.”
“Pat Boone… then Charlie Rich… on Sunrise Radio.”

The History of Sunrise Radio
As Told in the Tradition of Classic AM Broadcasting
In the early days of the station, before the sun rose on its true identity, the signal carried the call letters KVRA — Keep Vinyl Records Alive. It was a small station with a big idea: to preserve the sound, the spirit, and the craftsmanship of the records that built American radio.
KVRA operated with the same pride as the powerhouse AM stations of the era. Real call letters. Real curation. Real radio.
But as the station grew, something became clear. While other online broadcasters used simple titles and playlists, KVRA carried the weight of a heritage operation — a station with a mission, a memory, and a curator who understood the value of a 45 spinning under a warm stylus.
And so, in the finest tradition of AM evolution, the station stepped into a new identity. The call letters remained part of its foundation, but the broadcast name changed to reflect its purpose.
Today, that station is known as Sunrise Radio.
A place where forgotten singles, regional teeners, R&B promos, and rare artifacts are given a home once more. A station built on the belief that some music isn’t just entertainment — it’s history.
Sunrise Radio proudly carries the motto: “You Can’t Find This Anymore.”
But every sunrise has a beginning. And for this station, that beginning was KVRA — the call letters that lit the first spark and set the tone for everything that followed.
Vault Vinyl and Stories behind the songs
Before the Supremes made it big, they were the Primettes

1961 — A Detroit teen girl group called the Primettes signs with Motown Records after agreeing to change their name to the Supremes at the insistence of label owner Berry Gordy. He had turned them down before, but with persistence and a record on another local label behind them, they had worked their way into Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. studios as background performers, eventually recording demos with Smokey Robinson until Gordy relented and offered them a contract.
