Random Memorial for Monday 1/22/18

Gone but not forgotten:  yet another Whitney Houston cassette -- *this* time, the one with just her first name as the title.

Just to confirm, I am not showing this photo to protest how wac (sp?) crack is ... nor am I (necessarily) doing something inappropriate on the almost sixth anniversary of her last bath ... I'm just continuing the ongoing series where I'm throwing out the cassettes from the late 80's and early 90's that are duplicated as CDs in the master massive music collection.

As for the tune to feature, I'll skip over all the ballads to select the most up tempo song on the album (I mean cassette ... I mean CD) -- the one that *was* released but that stopped the record of consecutive #1s at seven since it didn't get that high on the charts -- the one that a little boy in high school who was super close to finally running away from home heard and though that Ms. Houston might have been talking to him:

Even though you feel abandoned and alone
Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt
So don't panic when you hit the danger zone
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on you mind
Love will save the day
When you're feeling full of doubt
And fear has got you in a bind
Love will save the day
When your worlds falling apart
All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day
There's an answer in your heart
So let your light shine on my dear
And love will save the day

SPOILER ALERT ... LOVE *DID* SAVE THE DAY:
