Question
Hi Bong!
What is the best song in the 80's we could dedicate to a retiring professor? This is actually the question of my brother whose professors will be retiring this year.  Incidentally they were also my professor 18 years ago.  So I really wanted something special that would touch their hearts & would show our appreciation.  Thank you.

regards,

Jerry

Answer
Dear Jerry,

The best song for a retiring teacher would still be WIND BENEATH MY WINGS by BETTE MIDLER. But you can also try the following songs (they're not in the 80's though):

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN by CROSBY, STILLS, NASH (1970)
BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL - THE BEACH BOYS (1963)
WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN SCHOOL TODAY - PETE SEEGER
(WHAT A) WONDERFUL WORLD - ART GARFUNKEL (1977 cover version)


Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
