When 45s were objects of desire, weekly allowance spent at the record shop, favorites toted to slumber parties in the plastic-handled faux-leather case intended for just that purpose, who would have guessed (a) they'd ever become obsolete or (b) be turned into imaginative, retro desk-top art.
If you fall into the "certain age" category, what was your all-time favorite single?
Happy Valentine's Day.

Love, love me Do--the Beatles. I was, I think, 13, tops. By the time I hit high school, we cared about ALBUMS, not 45s. We were, like, sophisticated by then.
When I was littler, though, I like the MONSTER MASH.
As I said... sophisticated.
I remember those little records - 45s, yes. But, I don't remember a favorite. Now, albums I remember, but as for a favorite there were simply too many -- the Beatles, the Stones, the Doors, Joplin, Hendrix, the Eagles, on and on and on.
I remember one sunny Saturday walking up to the Fairview Mall to Sam the Record Man and buying...The Jackson Five's "I want you back"....99cents!
Had to be "She Loves You" by the Beatles. The first of many 45's I owned. I mowed the front lawn for my brother to earn the money to get it.
I remember Saturday afternoons walking to the library and then out to the new shopping center to the record store and picking out a precious 45 to bring home. Now my music is all on my computer and my mp3 player - who'd have ever guessed?

Thank you for your responses. Once there was more money, albums were the thing, but a favorite song, back in my elementary school days, for 50 cents, hard to beat. The last single I wanted madly was "The One Who Really Loves You" by Mary Wells, heard on the radio during Easter vacation and no record stores had it yet.
