  1. 42 years ago today, September 1, 1984, Ronnie Milsap debuted at #76 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Prisoner of the Highway”. It went on to peak at #6 and spent a total of 19 weeks on the chart.

    I liked listening to this song on the radio, such a great song from an incredible music legend who released hit after hit from the 1970s into the early 1990s.

    I was very excited to announce a new Lynn Anderson single and played it in heavy rotation throughout that summer of 1988. It was one of our most requested.

    I played this a lot on the radio back then; it had quite a different sound and style. It was in our hot rotation for several weeks. (AM 650 KYAK 1987-1991)

    I'm grateful for my big music collection. This is one of several RVS songs I played a lot back then. It was in our hot rotation for several weeks during my radio days. (AM 650 KYAK 1987-1991)

  5. 42 years ago today, July 21, 1984, Eddy Raven debuted at #61 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “I Could Use Another You”. It went on to peak at #9 and spent a total of 18 weeks on the chart.

    It’s been a fun and exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles in my lifetime. I enjoyed listening to this song on AM 650 KYAK all those years ago. It brings back good memories of that era.

  6. 41 years ago today, July 13, 1985, Vince Gill (w/Rosanne Cash) debuted at #77 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “If It Weren’t for Him”. It went on to peak at #10 for two weeks and spent a total of 18 weeks on the chart.

    This was Vince’s breakthrough single on the Country charts, his first to make it into the Top 10, and one of my favorites from 40+ years ago.

  7. 40 years ago today, July 12, 1986, Schuyler, Knobloch & Overstreet debuted at #75 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “You Can’t Stop Love”. It went on to peak at #9 for two weeks and spent a total of 29 weeks on the chart.

    Practically from the first listen it became a favorite of mine, which inspired me to go out and buy the 45 RPM single 4 decades ago, adding to my collection.

  8. Sylvia is by far my favorite vocalist and entertainer of all-time. She's a wonderful person too, that I'm grateful to have gotten a chance to know.

    For the special occasion of it being the 40-year anniversary of her single hitting Billboard's Country chart, I created a video.

    I hope you might like to check it out. Thank you. 🎶😀🎹🎵

  9. 40 years ago today, July 5, 1986, Sylvia debuted at #73 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Nothin’ Ventured, Nothin’ Gained”. It went on to peak at #33 and spent a total of 15 weeks on the chart.

    I remember hearing this song on “American Country Countdown” with Bob Kingsley. I rarely missed an episode, especially when I knew a Sylvia song would be included.

    This was ETC’s first of 4 straight #1 singles from the album, “Don’t Make it Easy for Me”. It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM records throughout the decades.

  12. 45 years ago today, April 25, 1981, Sylvia debuted at #74 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “The Matador”. It went on to peak at #7 for two weeks and spent a total of 16 weeks on the chart.

    Sylvia made a music video of this song; it was the first concept video to air on CMT when the network made its debut in 1983. It's also among the earlier Country music videos made back then.

  13. 42 years ago today, April 7, 1984, Sylvia debuted at #81 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Victims of Goodbye”. It went on to peak at #24 and spent a total of 14 weeks on the chart.

    Just returned from a road trip to the lower 48 with my grandma and this song had just been released. I’d save my pennies to be able to always buy Sylvia’s singles and her albums.

  14. This is one of the songs she talked about in the interview from the "Nature Child ~ A Dreamer's Journey" album that was finally released in 2022 after 3+ decades. The recording process began in 2020. There were about 5 storybook videos released, but this video is my favorite.

  15. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

  18. My #fave #Chinese #KungFu #drama #MiniSeries while growing up in the #eighties was:

    #LegendOfTheCondorHeroes ❤ We would go to our Grandparents place every weekend & the whole family would watch it together. I remember learning all the words to this theme song & singing along with it. It's not in our mother tongue but most of us understand & can speak it.
