    Ewww #1 in 1982 was Olivia Newton John’s “Let’s Get Physical”. That makes me feel old that, that ancient song is only 27 (28 in 2 weeks baby!) years old.

    Ha ha!

    Except for one song, I recognize ALL the songs listed so far. Funny how music is so closely tied to different periods of our lives...High School, college, early in my marriage, etc. True for most folks, no doubt. Love it!:bigsmile:
