I have a distinct memory of my cousin and I at the park, having a swinging contest and belting out "You Light Up My Life" at the top of our little lungs.

You have to be little to do that?

I guess I should stop singing Wooly Bully and La Bamba whilst I swing.

Hard to remember the first one i bought as my brothers were 5 and 7 years older than me and there was already a big collection, of which my faves were Build Me Up Buttercup (The Foundations), Dizzy (Tommy Roe) and Red Rubber Ball (The Cyrkle). One of the first I remember buying myself is War's "Why Can't We Be Friends". I actually own a few albums on vinyl, 8-track, cassette, and CD - mostly because of the different audio systems in the cars my parents owned...

Remember the 45's (or 33 1/3's) that came on the cereal boxes?? Those played real good

The "Ballad of Davey Crockett" in around 1956

Hey Ranger,
This was my first 45 as well! We have good taste, huh! I think I still know all the words to "You Light Up My Life".

I remember this!! The one I remember was "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies. It was a freebie on some box of sugary cereal (makes sense!) that I begged my Mom to buy.

Fun memories of hours spent in the basement playing stacks of 45s.!

I never had you pegged as a swinger!

I am sure we must have had some but I can't remember any of the songs...I remember having 8-tracks in the house, vaguely.
