Subject: HELP!! 80's Slow Songs
Hey everyone, I really need some help. I'm doing a girl's choice dance in a few weeks with an 80s theme. I was born in the end of 1984, so I'm really lost as to what music to play at the dance ???. I seem to be able to find a TON of fast songs, but I'm not sure what songs are slow. PLEASE if you guys could just help me out and tell me some of the best 80s slow songs, I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks guys.
~NICOLE~
