40 years ago today, April 26, 1986, Michael Johnson debuted at #66 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Gotta Learn to Love Without You”. It went on to peak at #12 and spent a total of 20 weeks on the chart.

It’s been a fun and exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles over the years. I bought this one at my favorite record store and added it to my treasured music collection 4 decades ago.
