It's prom season so here's a prom-inspired playlist. Mostly songs from the 50s to the 80s. I forgot to say that my favorite prom-related film is Carrie directed by Brian De Palma and starring the incredible Sissy Spacek!
Image: Found photo. Probably from the 1970s. The planters are my favorite part.
