We had records at home. My sister & I are only 14 months in age, and my dad would just shake his head when we had the music playing. 😊 Herman’s Hermits, Paul Revere, The Beatles. We played them on a hi-fi stereo.

Later it was Barry Manilow’s Mandy. Six or severn of us from my PT class (only 20 in the class) went to his concert in St. Louis. None of us had much money, but we splurged and had a great time moving and singing along to his music. 🎶 

You Light up my Life was sung by a dear sorority sister at our wedding. 

Linda Ronstadt was a long-time favorite, Heat Wave, Your’e No Good, When Will I be Loved?
