Earliest songs U remember on radio?

[crgildart]

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. My mom had it on the radio in the car when I was pretty young. Maybe 4 or 5.

My 8th grade weight training phys ed teacher played Rumors EVERY SINGLE DAY for the entire quarter first period. I still hear those songs in the back of my head whenever I'm lifting and nothing else is playing. It was a great choice, all songs are perfect tempo for lifting.

My brother is 12 years older than I so I grew up with Beach Boys, Beatles, Dave Clark 5, Rolling Stones, and Rat Fink!

When I was a kid Blood, Sweat and Tears were staying at the same Holiday Inn as us and they were hitting on my sisters up at the pool.

We were actually good freinds with Jerry Hyman who was the sax player on the album. He is the one in the back row with the glasses on. Him and his wife lived in Newfoundland Pa.

The first song I remember was American Pie, it struck a cord because we were in the back seat of my brothers Chevy and we thought that was cool and pretended that we were going to drive to the Levy.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

Simon sang this at the Democratic Convention earlier this week -- it was a little rough. I guess he is in his 70s.

Thats golden!

Best I can do ... when I was a pre-teen Jhonny and Edgar Winters were staying in the "off limits" penthouse top floor of the hotel my family stayed at in Miami. Somehow I managed to find my way up there. Took one look at them from across the hall, they were in white tunic looking things which between that, the non-pigmented skin, red pupils of their eyes and long white hair, I thought I was seeing a family of ghost or vampires! Ran out of there as fast as I could!

[tromano]

Thriller.

 

[Don in Morrison]

Little Deuce Coupe

 

[Jenny]

The very first song I remember is also my earliest memory. I was three, and walking down what, to me, was a long road but was probably a long driveway. My parents were house sitting in Oregon for the summer and I remember the song Downtown running through my head, and it assume that's where I thought we were going. I still don't like that song.

 

[Philpug]

Thriller.

Michael Jackson?

 

[Don in Morrison]

Well, actually, though I heard Little Deuce Coupe on my own brand-new transistor radio when I was about 12, the very earliest I remember was when I was about 6 or so, on my mom's radio, and it was Catch a Falling Star by Perry Como.

Back to "Bridge" ... it was late 1970, and we were driving back to CO from Mungumree AL (where we lived a few months for some of my dad's USAF stuff) and there was a snowstorm with those humongous flakes in the dark, where the headlights light them up and you can't stop staring at them. Vivid memory, although I was just 2.

 

[tromano]

Michael Jackson?

Yea. My mom listened to mostly classical music. But I do remember that song coming on one time, it was by accident. So that's the first song I remember from the radio.

 

[KingGrump]

The Platters - Only You (And You Alone)
It came out in 1955. I remember hearing it in 1962.

I'd like to say I remember the song from my early childhood but at the moment I don't.
Will say, over the years whenever that song randomly came on the radio or television, even in my fathers latter years, (mom is 11 years younger), he and my mom would stop whatever they were doing and magnetically break into a slow dance.
Thx for the memory KG
