Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s

early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime.

and proved their worth in ways that made us jump.

These are the number one singles from 1992.

When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 1992, George H.W. Bush was still the U.S. President.
