Requiescat in Pace Florence Warner
If you watched TV or listened to the radio in the 70’s / 80’s /90’s anywhere in America, I’m sorry to tell you that a famous person you know has died…but you won’t know you knew her until you HEAR her.
Her name was Florence Warner and she was a jingle singer and voice actress in Atlanta. To be clear, I didn’t know I knew her either until she passed this week…and then I heard her.
Florence was the beautiful voice behind some really big brands, with pretty big jingles that played across America (brands like Burger King, Sprite & Hoover as 3 quick examples).
But maybe her most famous work was VERY local in maybe over 100 broadcast markets.
Her voice was EVERYWHERE!
Florence was the singer on the “Hello News” jingles – which won’t mean much unless I rename them for ALL the cities they played in.
If I titled them “Hello Pittsburgh”, “Hello Atlanta”, “Hello Quad Cities” or scores of other cities, you might remember.

But if you LISTEN to the video below and one of your NBC, CBS or ABC affiliates bought the campaign (which so many did) you’ll 100% remember her work.
Requiescat in Pace, Florence. No doubt the Heavenly Choir of Angels will find a spot for you.
