::)It's nice for you to look up these songs and singers from those yrs. A few I don't know, but most I do.
When I think of those yrs., I recall having my radio dial set a long time on the rock station and then I'd change because there were a lot of great songs that were in the country stations. And there were some songs you would hear on both such as Richard and Karen's Top of the World or Sweet Sweet Smile.
Crystal Gayle was getting quite a bit of attention as well. I love all her music.
June, July and Aug. of 1981, that was a very stressful and long long summer, because, I was engaged but my fiance' had to work all summer in Ok. before he could move and come get married that late Aug. I worked at a daycare center, and he worked way off at a restaurant. Music wise, he was mostly all into the country music and I sided more to soft rock, so we each learned to appreciate different styles of music more.
anyway, and so it goes...

::)Yes, Crystal is so gorgeous.Those blue eyes could melt a heart of stone. She does have a unique voice. When I was going to college many moons ago, she performed for the college. She was just then getting popular. For folks without a ticket, they could get in to the auditorium. And so, I didn't have a ticket, and sneaked into the back door. The place was packed and I could bearly see her, but I did listen to her for a while.
