It's time for a musical version of Wayback Wednesday!
Teeny bopper adoration of pop or movie stars has been happening for years. You could even say it's been going on for centuries (example: Franz Liszt in the 19th century).
The first time I remember this was the Great Debate of the early 1960s. Who was cuter/better/ etc: "Herman Hermits or The Beatles?"
Everyone usually remembers the first record they bought or requested their parents buy. What was yours?
Remember these ads? The Columbia Record Company gambled that members would forget to cancel subscriptions.
I usually bought 45s. I loved Motown, Sly and The Family Stone, The Monkees, and later, Carole King. Actually...I love them all today.
Music can awaken memories. My brother and I will often cite that a particular record was a "summer song" that we heard at the local swimming pool.
What kind of music do you still love?
Have a safe and happy day!
