    What a Canadian classic! This song never gets old!Carole Pope knocked this one right out of the park! Pretty racy for the early 1980s!

    Legends never die or disappear ....... 75 years old and still sings like she did in 1982 ..... conflicting birth dates , it is either 1946 or 1950 in England ..... birth records were a mess as we just came out of a world war .......

    Carol Pope's pipes are as stellar, if not even better than this track was released. I always admired this woman, she set the bar high for all young women who wished for someone to come along and show us what a modern woman during the last days of being defined by traditional standards. Carol Pope ROCKS

    Great song because it was never high jacked by Main Stream Media. "I Kissed a Girl" was politically commodified and hailed the LGBTQ anthem. She is the real trailblazer singing from her heart and deserves credit over due.
