10 Songs That I Remember Loving As A Child
These are 10 of the first songs that I ever remember falling in love with as a child (during the early 80’s). I first heard most of them on cassettes in my father’s car, or on the oldies station that I tuned into on the clock radio next to my bed every night before I went to sleep. I still love all of these songs and feel that they played a huge roll in making me the music nut that I am today. What are some of the first songs that you remember being blown away by as a child? Are they still amongst your favorites?
