HISTÓRIA DA MÚSICA

There’s something magical about how music conjures up old memories. Music brings us back to happy times and sad times. To our childhood, our parents, our first kiss, our loves, our children, our old friends. The right song can bring us to a specific place, a precise hour, a time of year. Memory in Top 40 Music brings back some of those memories by reviewing the top of the charts from days gone by, through the eyes of history.
