What song makes you think of your childhood home?
What can I say... I was 5 when my aunt and uncle gave me this album on cassette. It was the first album that was mine, and I remember listening to it in my childhood bedroom on repeat—this song especially. Obviously, my tastes have changed a bit over the last 40 years, but it's difficult to argue that Whitney was anything less than a generational voice and I trace my nostalgic love of 80's leaning pop tropes all back to this album (and Thriller, of course, which was my 2nd album... also a gift from the same aunt and uncle.)
