Donna Halper was working in a Cleveland, Ohio radio station in 1974 and was looking for a track to put on the air that was long enough to allow for a bathroom break.

When Halper noticed that a track on an album by a new group called Rush was longer than seven minutes, which provided adequate time for the DJ to answer a call from nature. After hearing the track, entitled "Working Man," she then realized that the group was offering a lot more than just a song that was long enough to allow her to slip away from the microphone for a bit.

Since then, Halper has been a staunch supporter of the Canadian rockers and even organized the effort to secure Rush a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. She developed a close relationship with the members of the group through the years, and can always count on a backstage pass when they are performing in the area.

For her efforts that helped lead to the group's recognition,  Rush dedicated their first two albums to her, and she was even hired on by the group's record label, Mercury Records, as first female Director of Artists and Repertoire.
