Livin’ on a Prayer

Rocktober 6th! 

For the month of October, we celebrate Rock Music!

In years past, I’ve gone the route of great rock songs of all time. But this year I wanted to do something a little different,  and have chosen to go with Great Rock Songs of the 80s.

As always, especially when it comes to music, the topic is subjective. But, I’m sure you’ll be happy with my selections for this month. 

Today our song is: Livin’ on a Prayer – Bon Jovi

Wikipedia tells us this about the song:

"Livin' on a Prayer" is a song by the American rock band Bon Jovi, and is the band's second chart-topping single from their third album Slippery When Wet. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, the single, released in late 1986, was well received at both rock and pop radio and its music video was given heavy rotation at MTV, giving the band their first No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and their second consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit.

Regarded as the band's signature song, "Livin' on a Prayer" has topped fan-voted lists and re-charted around the world decades after its release. In 2013, the song was certified triple platinum for over 3 million digital downloads and has since sold over 13 million worldwide making it one of the best selling singles of all time.
