Many people say "The proof is in the pudding" but the actual saying is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." The Debbie Deb (Deborah Kowalski) song was a big dance-club hit in 1983 but never made the Hot 100. It is one of several 1980s hits which KRTH has recently added to the playlist. KRTH also re-added a Led Zeppelin song which wasn't even released as a single. It's called Stairway something-or-other. Here is the updated list:
