2894700, so...i'll come back to this to add more, but as a kid....
Posted by Voodoochilde, Thu Jul-31-14 06:49 AM
..i remember as a kid in the 70's, the song i would always put the needle on to get myself in a positive/hopeful mood was "All About Love" by Earth Wind & Fire....

the combination of the music itself and the overall message/approach always kinda helped me focus on getting through whatever bumps in the road life might have been throwin in my path at the time...

...(yeah, now that i think about it, i guess i was one of those 'old kids' is suppose... :))

ill come back to add more songs to the mix, but thats the 1st one that jumped to mind and i gott go to work...
