Everlasting Love: Valentine's Day Hits, from 1955-1996

Hey there Readers,

Wow, I can't believe this is my 50th blog post, and that people have visited here over 1,000 times!

Being the romantic that I am, I couldn't wait to make this Valentine's Day 2010 playlist that I've put together for my gorgeous sweetheart Jamie, who I love very much!

Each song on this playlist appeared on the Cashbox Singles charts on each Valentine's Day from 1955 through 1996.

It's my pleasure to share them with you and your loved ones.

Jamie planted two rose bushes in my front yard, one that blooms yellow roses, and another oned that yeiled these beautiful lavender roses.

Happy Valentine's Day, Jamie!

This is for you baby, lots of pop music memories for Valentine's Day.

I love you!

Mick
