Have you ever had a song stuck in your mind and you try to grasp at the name of the song, who sang it, or how did that tune go? Perhaps you like to remember a moment from the past with a favorite song.
Many years ago in the early 80s, my sister and I came up with the original seeds for this list, the original song list, inspired partial by listening to Top Music Charts on WLS, Casey Kasem's American Top 40s and television shows such as Name That Tune. We first started out by listing our favorite songs on paper. As time went on and we got busy with other things, the list has always been on the back burner until about 6 years ago when my daughter was born. I thought it would be a neat idea to get this list going again so she could have a memory of how silly her mommy was to actually listen to such music.
The funny thing about the Internet is you meet all kinds of people. I mentioned this idea to a few people on line who thought this was a great thing and many of them have added to this list. Then I decided why not make the list a dot com. Why not have a vehicle to catalog a slice of our history of US pop music!
If you need to hear a clip of the songs, please use the search engines for Barnes And Noble to be led to the page with the album which may have a clip of the song. If all else fails, go further down and look for the song on the search engine under "Need More Information?".
So now you know the history, enjoy the list.
This list is in alphabetical order by title and also by decade. To find your song, find the decade of your song then first letter in the song title. If you are still lost, use the search engine below. Some of the songs may be listed in two decades as they are on the cusp of popularity between two decades.
