About this poem:
My birthday is coming up so I was looking back from my birth in 1969 to the end of my favorite decade of music, the 80's. The only song I'm not a fan of is The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. If I were forced to pick my favorite from the list it would be When Doves Cry by Prince, with Every Breath You Take by The Police being a close second. Right now my favorite album is Weird Al's new album Mandatory Fun. He is a parody artist and I own all 14 of his albums.

I love this, I went through all these songs.

Did you know that 'The First Time Ever I saw Your Face'
became a hit after Clint Eastwood decided to use it in
his movie, 'Play Misty For Me'? The movie is about this
woman that turned into a fatal atraction for Eastwood.thumbs up

Joseph112, thanks for the birthday wishes. I bought myself a car for my birthday this year, a 2000 silver cavalier with 41,000 miles. It has a remote starter which is a neat feature. I can start my car from my apartment.party

marikia, thanks for the birthday wishes. I do have the Roberta Flack song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. I listened to it many times on July 30 trying to get my car home from work as the cooling system was broke and I could only go about three miles or so at a time and then let it cool for 30 minutes. It is my new discovered song.dancing

gnj4u, thanks for your comment. I started buying music in 1983, so the songs from 1983 to 1989 hold the most significance, plus those are my teen years.cheering

ImagineLove, thanks for your comment. There are many songs that didn't make it to number one for the year or number one for a week that are still awesome songs. Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Group, What a Feeling by Irene Cara, among many others.dancing
