    My husband who has sadly passed away in January this year use to play this song when we were teenagers aged 16 and 17 in the 80's. " Some people are made for each other,, how about us" And we've made it for 34 years until he passed on this year. This song will be forever embedded in my memories of him.

      CONGRATULATIONS both, one in heaven waiting for you friend. Well done. That takes real LOVE and it is so much a matter of giving isn’t it. I feel like you about the song, no one has written a song exactly )of course not!) as beautiful as this. Every song has its own beauty and that’s why I do not compare it as the decades have passed the style of songwriting has changed. So many I love yet ‘How bout Us’ really is fixed in my heart. So happy you wrote this note because it matters, especially to me. I had a bad accident so even though I am a musician my life is much more involved with listening to music now, still wonderful. I am so appreciative of your notices and info about what this means to you. Thank you x💕

      The origins of Champaign can be traced back to a group called The Water Brothers Band. Their lineup comprised Dana Walden on keyboards and vocals, Howard "Leon" Reeder on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, Keith Harden on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, Scott Karlstrom on bass, and Bobby Carlin on drums.[3][4] They recorded a single, "Have You Ever Been Lonely?" backed with "How 'Bout Us" that was released on Sky Records NR6668. The single did not chart.[5][6] Members Walden, Reeder and Day would eventually become part of Champaign.[3][4

      Man you just spoke the truth. My heart hurts. You live not realizing the times will change and then you look up and realize it is gone. I didnt realize how bad I wanted those times back until I heard Slyvester Stalone discussing in an interview about how he missed the precious times that had gone pass. Suddenly, I realized the days I loved so much were gone.

    It is now the month of May, 2022, and this song still rocks the very foundation of my soul, every single time. May those of us who knows the value of love, family and friendship, forever find peace, love and harmony wherever we lay our heads. Love to the world.

      My wife and I also chose this song to dance our first dance together at our wedding then shortly before our wedding Stevie Wonder came out with Ribbons in the Sky and we changed our song. However the words and the beautiful melody of this song still tears at our heart string and is still very special to us both nearly 40 years later.
