On January 6, 1989, Debbie Gibson released “Lost in Your Eyes” — and it didn’t take long to make history. 💖
The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 4, 1989, holding the top spot for three weeks and becoming one of the most unforgettable late-’80s love songs ever.
🎶 Still giving us chills? You can hear it on KOOL 94.5 — playing the hits you grew up with.
💬 KOOL listeners... does this song take you back?
