Maybe they were your class songs, maybe they were your reationship songs, maybe they played them during aerobics, maybe at a church function, or even one of those motivational media presentation. You know, these were the positive, uplifting songs, full of pure love and can-do spirit!
Here's one from 1982, popularized by the soundtrack to the hit film "An Officer and A Gentleman." Climbed to number 7 on the U.S. Top 40 --
Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes: Up Where We Belong

Neil Diamond - Headed For the Future. As bad as that song was, it did have a positive outlook. Neil tried heading for the new wave future, and that became his last ever US Hot 100 hit single.
