Some songs hits to help you think of younger days.

Just to take a break with some memory-jogging thoughts now, brought out by a couple of L.A. Radio.com bits of information from yesterday and today- meaning February 24 and February 25. These last two postings, presented below, really brought back some memories for me of some different times- and, has it been that long since these tunes came out?

For this date in 1997- do you remember where you were? (or how young you were?)

"Top Five Flashback, February 25, 1997: Wannabe by the Spice Girls, Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton, Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down by Puff Daddy & Mase, I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly, You Were Meant For Me by Jewel. "

Then for yesterday's column in LARadio.com that went back to 1983- And how long ago was that? Well, None of the students I had taught at Lincoln High were even born yet, so you know it's going way, way back.

"Top Five Flashback, February 24, 1983: Baby Come To Me by Patti Austin & James Ingram, Shame On The Moon by Bob Seger, Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club.
