Although I can't remember what the first album I listened to was a child (I bet it was Sesame Street Gold) I DO remember the first album I listened too after Mom and Dad bought me a Walkman for Christmas.
Mom had just received the latest Manilow album too and it was his blues/swing album. I listened to this and walked around the block over and over again. Dancing on the sidewalk and singing at the top of my lungs probably too.
I remember years later when my brother ran for college, he took this CD with him. I was pissed. "Why'd he take the best Barry Manilow CD?!" I thought.
I did listen to this last year. Not bad. Good memories, yet somehow it sounded better through a Sony Walkman.
Then again...what didn't?
