I'm wondering if Paul Harvey do narration for son drive-in intermissions? I found some intermission clips on You Tube with a voice that sounds like or similar to him. For example this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKVclt5Ddtk&feature=related & another one that announces "Please replace the speaker on its rack....." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7jq67cfOA

I'm going to assert that he never lent his voice to anything that wasn't directly broadcast-related. The man had broadcasting in his blood. As for those YouTube clips, they certainly do not contain the voice of Paul Harvey. I listened to him for five-and-a-half years while working at a radio station and I know the man's voice.

That's Jay Cooke on those snipes. He was a Colorado Springs radio and television announcer who freelanced at Alexander Film Company in the 50s and 60s.

Paul Harvey narrated a 3-D Slide Show that traveled the country in the late '40's. It was shown in 2006 in Massachusetts.

quote:
HIGHWAY USA (1948)
This show, originally billed as a “half hour holiday”, was produced by the BARBER-GREENE Company as a tribute to the road builders of America (the company produced road building equipment). Their stereo photographers traveled over 20,000 miles to obtain the choicest highway photos, from which 105 were selected for this presentation. Paul Harvey, the famous radio personality, did the narration, which adds old-fashioned punch to the production. The transparencies were originally shot on 5x7" Kodachrome and shown with a specially built projector at more than 100 locations across the US and Canada. Only recently were the original images scanned for this digital presentation... Jon Golden was instrumental in getting the soundtrack transcribed from the original six RCA Victor 16" 2-sided mono records.

Cook's and Harvey's deliveries are certainly similar.
