We all know the power of an old song to trigger vivid memories that seem to transport us back in time and space. The songs we loved became woven into a mental tapestry entwined with the people, seasons, and locations throughout our lifespan.  You hear a song you haven't heard in years. Suddenly, you are overcome by flashbacks of people, places, and strong emotions linked to that song. What songs bring back emotional memories from your past?

Click on the links below to enjoy a trip down our musical memory lane.  These songs were selected from the Billboard Chart archives.  If there is a song you remember and don't see it, drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.   If you encounter technical difficulties, please let me know. 

It was exceedingly difficult to find a suitable music service, so I decided to use YouTube (pardon the ads) to play the songs of our youth.  If there is a missing song you would like added, send me a note.
