The other day, my daughter Heather and I had lunch at Wahlburgers in Eau Claire, which led to a short conversation about Donnie Wahlberg and New Kids of the Block.
And, of course, that led me to highlight today's Great Song of 1989: "Hangin' Tough."
Donnie sang lead on the song, a rockin' danceable tune that charted in 14 countries--including #1 in the UK and the US.
Odd factoid: Released as a single in mid 1988, it stayed on the charts long enough to become the first new #1 song of the 1990s--even though it was also the lowest-selling #1 in history at that point.
Be that as it may, it'still a Great Song of 1989-90.
(As for Wahlburgers, anyplace that can serve a Peanut Butter and Jelly Hamburger is tops in my book!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By86PcLufOU
Tomorrow: Back to the '70s for a one-and-a-half hit wonder.
