When Tommy Edwards heard the song “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project while sitting at the Biograph Theater in 1984, he knew it would be the perfect addition to the Bulls’ starting lineup introductions.
Thirty-five years later, “Sirius” remains the anchor of the Bulls’ iconic pregame intros. And though it was relatively unknown at the time Edwards heard it, it has since been incorporated into many venues’ playlists around the world.
Edwards, the Bulls’ longtime public address announcer, reinvented the way teams approach their starting lineup routines. Along with being the man who brought “Sirius” to the Bulls, he was part of the team’s decision to turn the lights off for player introductions.
