mine was The Jets Rocket 2 U

"Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb

Though I already did own an early Kool & the Gang & a bunch of Parliament/Funkadelic singles that my cousin left me when he moved out of state.

Shanice- I Love Your Smile

Actually, if we wanna get technical,
the first single I purchased wasn't really a song.
It was this:



In the 4th grade, I was easily amused.

Something by Lisa Lisa I reckon.

Three Dog Night's "Joy to the world"...

Paula Abdul, "The Promise Of A New Day" cassingle. (I was a late bloomer).

Some song by the girl group Jade

Thanks! I was trying to remember what the name was

...strange, I wore that song out back then, but now I never hear it played on the radio stations that play older music

The cassette maxi single... I begged my mother for it and then played it until my tape deck ate it.

"Hey...What?...RESCUE ME"...

"One Woman" is also a good single from that album.

I'm pretty sure this was the first single I bought with my own money. 1990 is when I really started spending money on music. I can't imagine how many thousands of dollars I've spent in the last 18 years...

Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance
Still jammin'

I can't remember entirely, but I think it was "Murphy's Law" by CHERI

JACKSONS- Enjoy yourself !

You just showed your age, like I'm about to do as well.

"Hey Deanie" by Shaun Cassidy
Could this be the "whitest piece of white bread" you've ever heard?!

I win for the uber gay song , slightly edging out Anx.....

I have "Hey Deanie" on one of my 70s compilations,lol.I remember Shaun Cassidy.The girls went crazy over him.He was a late-70s teen idol.Remember his other hit from that period....a remake of "Da Doo Run Run"?

SoulAlive said:

Of course!
Leif Garret as well.



*from the same album as "Hey Deanie" and "Da doo run run"



I don't think anything beats this little piece of "white heat".. The SHOW STOPPER, ASS SHAKIN'..."That's Rock n' Roll"
No wonder I'm so fucked up as an adult...being subjectured to thinking "this" was music back then.

It was either Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John or a Captain and Tenille song. Talk about showing my age

We had so many 45's for years from the 70's and 80's, but my first 45 single was The Locomotion when I was 5. My mom bought it and put my name on the paper case

first CD single was Janet's Together Again

"(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty," KC and the Sunshine Band (1976)

The first Cassette single I remember getting was The Jets - Rocket 2 u.


The first cd single I remember getting was Lisa Stansfield's "You Can't Deny It".

First 45 single bought was "That's All" by Genesis.
