Next to George Collinet and Leo Sarkisian (of "Music Time in Africa" fame), a fave VOA personality of mine.

While on the subject of the VOA of yore, this might trigger a memory for some of the older guys.  You've probably heard a frag of this song dozens of times, and I ran across this download a few years ago.  It's the theme song - in entirety - from "Music Time in Africa", and is titled "Zamsi", recorded by a nondescript band from Sierra Leone named The Heartbeats.  It was recorded by Leo Sarkisian in the VOA Monrovia studios in 1964.
