My first was Lawrence Welk does polka favorites. The year was 1946 and it was a 78 rpm recording. To this day it is on my top ten of all time. I play it every day and it still gets my toes a tappin!
Glen Campbell's 'Galveston' in Woolworths in lower Manhattan. That was in 1969, when I was 11 going on 12. Was waiting with my mom for Sterling Optical to finish making my glasses.
"More Greatest Hits," Connie Francis, 1962. Had a crush on her when I was a kid. Although I no longer care for most of the music she recorded, I still consider that when in her prime she had one of the best combinations of voice, talent, looks, and versatility (recording numerous genres in approximately 15 different languages), of any non-classical, non-opera female singer I have ever heard.
