Debbie Lanier's Life and Times: Part 4- Music

Music is the universal language and definitely not short on my mom. She had a great love and ear for music. She always had a radio or boom box going and has a girl had two transitor radios, one for each ear (should I get earphone/earbud royalties?). 

Her musical favorites included The Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, Prince, Karen Carpenter, The Rolling Stones, Eagles, Chicago, Journey, Elton John, Phil Collins, The Spinners, Eminem, Drake, Dr. Dre, Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, The Bee Gees, Earth, Wind and Fire, ELO, Hall and Oates, and all of Motown just to name the artists and groups that stayed in her rotation.  

Mom liked music that had good lyrics and would make you jam and dance. She wasn't big on country music or certain hip hop artists. She also tired of the modern pop scene. 

Debbie Lanier had a great ear for music and was adept at remembering song, album and title for many songs and such. This love for music will also be forever honored.
