My high school prom was 1986 and the theme was “If Only For One Night”. I think I even still have the glass stashed away somewhere. These were the years when Luther made all the girls swoon. Take a listen.
A few years before then, the Gap Band had burst on the scene. Whenever your heart had been run over, this is the song that probably came to mind. Charlie and the boys were playing those Oklahoma cowboy hats tough!

These are definitely some classic choices, for sure. Looks like you had ‘the hits’ at your prom, eh? I’ve always been a big Gap Band fan, too.
Thanks for some good memories!
Very nice choice! You were a couple of years ahead of me but I can appreciate how it feels to remember such good tunes.
Happy OSF! I haven’t heard the Gap Band in many years! Thanx for this reminder…
I invite your blog readers to enjoy this tribute to Barack Obama by The Dells. I didn’t attend my prom … so I hope that you’ll enjoy my substitute selection.
peace, Villager
I was just listening to Luther. Amazing artist! You are on it M! Happy OSF.
Oh, Luther! I definitely have a soft spot for him…
Very nice picks…and I fixed the little issue that you e-mailed me about…thanks for the heads up!
