Fleetwood Mac was one of the biggie artists played on Deaconlight in the mid-1970s. This was BEFORE Fleetwood Mac became a so-called supergroup after Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham joined, although that lineup was played on Deaconlight as well.

This version of Fleetwood Mac featured Bob Welch, an American, at the mic helm. Even WKZL - which back then had the call letters WSGH (for Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point) - played "Hypnotized" from this record. The fact that North Carolina is mentioned in a line of that song might have added to its local popularity, but that is a very good song. Welch wrote that one, by the way, as well as another much-played song called "Emerald Eyes."
