He chose a lineup of his favorite R B ballads to soundtrack Washington, DC, that evening. The show was an accidental success. Shortly thereafter he was hired, and his show had a name: The Quiet Storm. • Quiet Storm radio shows have since become a staple of Black communities across the United States.
