Nice choices there Midas, even Pray was okay at the time... in fact that's probably the only song of his I liked.

I had Shaun Cassidy's Da Doo Run Run album, and then moved on to Foghat Live 8track when I was about 12.. Got my first cassette (Rolling Stones Tattoo You) when I was about 14. I still had albums and 45's but was starting to transition into cassettes around 8th grade.

I bought the CD single because I was unable to find the remixes on vinyl. Still drop that track from time to time.

Can't remember the album but I'm sure it was vinyl. I started buying cassettes for a bit because I didn't have a stereo for a while (only a little cassette player). I didn't get a CD player until the 1990.

I didn't know he was popular in the States. He was a Canadian. I wonder if he still performs these days
EDIT: I remember an episode of Full House where Michelle was addicted to his 1978 classic "Baby Beluga" :D
