Bon Jovi's story that started in "Livin' On A Prayer"

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Signature song indeed. Hard to imagine not responding 'Living on a Prayer' if asked to identify the track most synonymous with the band Bon Jovi. Great backstory, Janda.

Such a cool back story and fun facts! Thanks for another great peek behind the song, Janda!

Great episode, thank you again. Amazing Bon Jovi thought it was a throw away. Just goes to show you, even the guy who wrote the words & played the music, doesn’t have a clue if the song will be a hit.

Thanks for watching! In this case, good thing he was swayed by those who heard it as a hit!

Great song from a great album but my favorite track was 'Wanted, Dead or Alive'.

[@behindthesongpodcast]

I hear ya!

[@katk8582]

Great narrative on this one! So many changes in music during that time, this song brought the sound needed to keep Rock'n'roll. The Tommy and Gina story was /is legendary. Thanks for the background and Thanks for another great one!

Thanks Janda You have an awesome job ❤

[@behindthesongpodcast]

Thank you! 😊

Janda, you asked if there were any other couple songs and I can't think of any. But, sure would like to hear about the Lou Reed song Walk on Wild Side and his real life characters from the song. It's a little " Bowie " and how did that song get radio play back in those days. Thanks again, Kat

[@behindthesongpodcast]

That is an excellent idea, thanks for suggesting it!
