I can’t remember when I had my first Walkman, but I do remember playing Whitney Houston’s album ‘Whitney’ over and over again. That was released in 1987, and I was all of 13 at that time.
I loved my Walkman. Loved it. I had a newspaper route and I always had my Walkman on. I felt so cool and so modern listening to music while ‘working’!
Walkmans. They were pretty cool back then, weren’t they? Of course, technology has changed dramatically since then. We’ve had Discmans, iPods and then the smartphone which could do everything (and was about a quarter of the size of that first Walkman).
