Cool 2 see Nelons had 2 songs in the top 20 in ‘83 and Karen Peck leading the single for “Wedding Day” . I recognized more in ‘83 and we do not have any SG stations in Maryland. I get it from only 2 hours of Gospel Greats. I was 5 in ‘83.

I turned 8 in 1983, and I wasn’t listening to sG then–didn’t start until ‘88 or ‘89. But I still knew (and have) a lot of the 1983 songs. I was in the middle of an SG hiatus of sorts in 2003, So I’m not familiar with many of those songs at all.

I was 15 in 1983. I remember 99% of those tunes, and also have the original records. Southern Gospel didn’t start cds until around 1989. As far as SG goes, the Cathedrals and Gold City had the most #1 songs during the 1980s. I never listen to the radio anymore since I got a Cd player in my car 11 years ago…

From the survey results, it’s interesting to note that the Cathedrals had more responses on their songs in the 1983 chart than any other groups, and Legacy Five had the top result for the 2003 chart. Now Gold City came in a strong second place for both.

OK, here’s what happened: It hit 100 responses and that’s all it takes! I guess I need to save those, then clear it and start over.
