I love this stuff!<br><br>LaFlavour was from Ohio, so I heard both "Mandolay" and "Only The Lonely" on the AM station I used to listen to when they were out. I actually have the 45 of "Only The Lonely" that I bought back in 1980. :)<br><br>Dusty Springfield did the original version of "Let Me Love You Once" (as far as I can tell). Greg Lake's version is nice, but Dusty's blows his out of the water (as does her version of just about any song, but then again, I'm a little biased). :)<br><br>I also love "Hole In My Heart" and used to question why Madonna's career took off forever and Cyndi's died too soon. Madonna was probably a smarter marketer. Cyndi still rocks, though. :) Dave, I've already told you how much I love this blog in other posts, but since this was the first anniversary post, I'll say it again – thank you for providing a reason to avoid cleaning my house, doing my schoolwork or even getting to work on time.
