  • Folks.... it's so nice to be with you, I love all the things you say on youtube.

  • One great song from the 70's..made those little transistor radios sound great!

  • Mom and dad used to take us to an Italian restaurant a couple of towns over. We used to love the place. Spaghetti, meatballs and lots of cheese. After dinner, while they would take their coffee, pop would give us a couple of quarters and we kids would attack the jukebox in the front of the dining room. This was one of the songs my sister always picked. Such great times.

  • wow, this brings back so many wonderful memories of my youth. My first love, I wonder where he is now. Decades later, I stil like this song.

  • High school finished me in 73. (Kicked out) LOLZ! Best song ever for gettin some. ; )

  • The songs of the 60 & 70s are far better to listen to than the music of the 80s and up

  • I finished high school in 1975....It does bring back memories ....God..What a better time than now ... What happened to music ????? Kinda cRAPPY now ..

  • I finished high school in 1974....this takes me back for sure.

  • Sweet songs of the 70's..........sweet memories.

  • Love the slide guitar in this song.....more fond memories, thank you.

  • Makes me so happy to have ears

  • 610 CHTM Thompson, Manitoba, Canada

  • What a great song... :)

  • @hotstuffandicecream Yeah, it was on WPRO AM in those days. A year later I believe, their FM station(WPRO that is) went from Classical to pop and rock. It got a lot of play, but I wonder what happend to them.

  • singer had a nice bluesy vocal...wooda made a good c&w singer, too.

  • Causing commotion in my soul! Yeah! Great Song!

  • whos the singer?

  • @swaney7 the singer is Jim Gold...and the Gallery

  • @Hathorspirit thank you....... i been trying to figure out who the vocalist was forever.

  • @swaney7 Swaney I think its mentioned at the very beginning of the video. I already knew because I have the 45 on vinyl !!

  • Another great song...Thanks!

  • I remember back in the '70's flipping through the radio dial hoping to run into this song and what a treat it was when it came on, then trying to record it on a cassette tape. YouTube and iTunes have spoiled us.

  • @FuzzBug1 I remember doing the same thing...hahaha...too funny..back then people were so much more isolated and you would think you were the only doing things, huh??lol..Great! WICC-AM Bridgeport, CT

  • IT'S SO NICE TO BE WITH YOU AT CHRISTMAS TIME,ALOHA FROM NC

  • when I first fell in love with NBD I loved this song in Dallas Texas back then wow its still sounds just like they are right here .

  • This tune was written by Neil Diamond wasn't it ??

  • One of my all-time favorite 'sing-a-long' songs of the seventies! Great song that blared from my hand-held transistor radio!

  • I love this feel good music!

  • "It's so nice to hear you say: Your going to please me in any way." (Is he with a hooker?)

    The ultimate superficial voice matched with the ultimate superficial lyrics!

  • @unfluster lol..thats funny, I remember this song as a kid, I liked it because it was about Karen Harris so it always felt good, still does. But how misleading for an 11 yr old!?!

  • @unfluster I used to think he said "Your gonna feed me a Milky Way"....lol..hahaha... Honestly I did until you said the above...Man that blows it for me now :(

  • @jseph1234567890 I like your lyrics better! Considering how innocent things were back then, I'm sure that's more likely what he meant.

  • Detroit,best cars and music.

    Sad WTF happend.

    Im 50 and need a job

  • A real Detroit classic from Jim Gold and Gallery? Jim Gold was welder for the Ford Motor Company when he and several Studio Musician friends formed Gallery! The real sound of Motown and Detroit at It's best!!

  • Heard this for the FIRST TIME 2 weeks ago. A Friend of mine sings it at Karaoke. I Love this song, even though it's 10 years older than I am!!!!

  • Great comments all! I remember this song from an old Ktel album I had (and still have somewhere!) Remember those? 22 songs on one record and the damn things would skip if you breathed in their direction! Great memories! Thanks

  • @0010Kev Oh yeah! Ktel was the iTunes of the good ol days!

  • one of my all-time Favorites...............

  • Can't believe I know EVERY word to this! Haven't heard it in forever!!

  • I remember going roller skating and this song being played. oh the memories.

  • I am in a time machine, grade seven, Miss Murchies' class, Canada just won the cup (hockey) and we were spinning 45's on the schools Bell and Howell Record Player. I want to stay here!

  • @TheMightyHope Hey, I just bought a "Bell & Howell" Fish-Eye lens for my new Nikon D5100. Bell & Howell went out of business years ago to my knowlede, but they slap the trade name on a lot of things today. B & H was once a large company. I got my lens from NYC and it works great! Regards to Miss Murchy! A retired Catholic priest in Ontario. P.S. I hope Sidney Crosby stays well. It was a great goal to win the Olympic Gold. Good luck.

  • Great song , love it !

  • I really like this song reminds me of my teenage days....happy listening everyone...

  • I think neil diamond Redo this song

  • @Omegaversal NO THE SINGER JUST SOUNDS LIKE NEIL..

  • Great song!! Forgot all about it until I saw it on the right hand side of another song I was listening to. Brings back the memories.

  • Whenever I hear the opening strains of this song, I am instantly taken back to that summer scene of the six of us; 'The Usual Suspects', all 7th graders; Tom, Liz, Kim, James, Tony and I hanging out in our backyard pool as this song played on our house sterio system. We were just summer chillin that July 1973, dunking the girl's heads under, trying to sneek a quick kiss while my Mother wasn't 'chaperoning'. It was nice when Mom brought out her Chocolate Chip cookies and Lemonade though.

  • Honey I got the notion you cause commotion in my asshole

  • @shutdafup Your youtube handle says it all, shutdafup!

  • This is my husband of 38 years and my song!!!

  • Love the richness of the singer's voice--"ahhh...little things mean a lot"

  • singer sounds like a mix of david cassidy, b.j.thomas and neil diamond.

  • Holy smokes I used to this when i was a wee lad. I love this song.

  • First heard this song on American Bandstand's "Rate A Record"; thought they sounded a little like Neil Diamond...

  • I want to know if all of you who grew up as teens and preteens in the late 60's and early 70's feel like I do; that we have entered a surreal, twilight zone in this 21st century? To some extent it can be blamed on the 'growin old phenoma' of every generation. But why do I feel so out of place as events political and social seem to swirl out of control unlike that which my parents and grandparents experienced?

  • @jeff62rey You're not alone. I'm right there with you buddy. There really is such thing as a time machine and we are traveling in it right now. I just wish we had You Tube back in those days...Well, maybe not. It would have spoiled us.

  • @Raman711 Sure would have spoiled us ... half of the joy of hearing your favorite song was listening to the radio, waiting two hours to finally catch it!

  • @STEPcoach Your not kidding..but you had to shift through one's you didn't like which made it suck sometimes..And I would wander.."how did that get on the radio".....

  • this came out when i was 17 and it will never be forgotten makes me feel young again after all these years

  • Another Great Song from thee 70's.

    Thanx!

  • So nice, so sweet. I miss the 70s and 80s!

  • remember it on my daddys ge console stereo.thats was hi-fi at the time for a broke man raising 2 kids.

  • I heard this song on the radio today (hadn't heard it forever) and couldn't remember who did it. Thanks YouTube for making this inquiry so easy...hahahaha

  • I was 16 then,I believe. Great songs.

  • Did you ever listen to this in the car on an AM radio???????

  • @hotstuffandicecream Hell yeah I did! It was great! I remember the summer hwen this was a big hit! Damn, I wanna turn back the clock!

  • @hotstuffandicecream and listen to music on an eight track player in the car.

  • @hotstuffandicecream

    You ain't lived if you hadn't heard top 40 music blasting out of an A.M. Radio!!!!

    (Sigh) A sign of old age I guess.....I'm just an old guy traveling down the Interstate of life in the left lane, doing forty, with the left blinker on....(Dee Donk.....Dee Donk.....Dee Donk......) (That's the sound of the blinker(s).....)...LOL

  • @hotstuffandicecream Well, Yeah! That was "how we rolled" back in the day! (note the quotes ... clear indicator of being old! HA!) Super stuff from the best years to grow up in.

  • @hotstuffandicecream You bet I did! There wasn't any other way, in those days!

  • @hotstuffandicecream On 56 WHBQ in Memphis.

  • @hotstuffandicecream Yes!+KAAY Little Rock!

  • The first time I heard this song was in the spring of 72.  I just got out of boot camp and was on leave at the time.

  • I was 15 in 1972, a much simpler time and great radio music! Brings alot of memories.

  • Thanks for another great one anippygirl :-)

  • Comment removed

  • Reminded me of the girl I had a crush on in 4th - 6th grade.

  • I used to have a 33 rpm album from K-Tel records, a compilation of different artists, and this song was on it. I may even still have it. I have to check. Anyway, great song. Interesting use of the steel guitar.

  • This was my FAVORITE song when I was little. Man it bring back memories.. Love Gallery! 

  • This was my favorite song when I was in grade school back in mid 70's. Dang, Im old! I also love "Girl, You're Always On My Mind".

  • Oh to be back for just one day in the summer of '72. Mike, Pauley, Kim, Elizabeth and I would ride our bikes down to the Auglaize River every morning that summer that it didn't rain. 12 years old and feeling this bond between us all that wouldn't be broken until after High School. "When I'm feeling down, you're there to pick me up." That's how our gang hung that year! Then I remember turning 13 and suddenly Kim started to look different. One day we locked fingers and the thrill exploded.

  • Great song! It brings back a lot of good memories! Oh to be young and in love again! Brings back the good ole days! Thanks for sharing!

  • Like so many, this song takes me immediately back to the 70's.

  • Oh it's so nice to hear this song, it''s been oh so way too long! Gallery however was not a one-hit wonder, but a three-hit wonder.  Their other hits were "I Believe In Music" and "Big City Miss Ruth Ann".

  • LOVE THIS SONG...GOOD MEMORIES OF THE 70'S!!! LOVE IT ALL!!!

  • @Ricco99100, your not the only one hahaha :)

  • -this is a sweet 70's sound.......kudo's !

  • Just made my day,THANK YOU !!!

  • When this first came out, I thought the lead singer was Neil Diamond.

  • Had missed song,Thank You.Good Taste too.....:)

  • The lead singer sounds just like Mac Davis

  • I wanna buy this song but can't find it?? any help out there?? ty

  • sounds like neil diamond...

    

  • What a precious song that always warms your heart!!! BobbyK

  • No music will ever match the 70's

  • had this on vinyl and played it on a cheap "record player" over and over....the simple seventies...

  • Back in those early 70's we would ride our junior high school bus and we were lucky enough to have a radio. It was one fall afternoon '72 and I was 8th grade, trying to get up the nerve to ask this cute, red head named Monica to the dance.  The bus was really crowded that day and there was one seat left when Monica got on. She sat down and my heart pounded, but something about this song calmed my nerves. We talked. Walked home from the bus stop and it turned out to be a great Fall dance.

  • never heard this before, i like it a lot. it's a great song. thanks for posting.

  • great song with vocals.

  • i woke up with my mind singing this song, so I had to go find it! Thank you!

  • I was 6 when this song was popular.. I lived in Albuquerque New Mexico at the time.. I love all the music from the 70's, brings back a lot of memories.

  • I was 9 1/2 years old when this came out and going to St. Francis Of Assisi Catholic Grammar School in Uptown New Orleans, La and in the 4th grade.

  • singer sounds like neil diamond. at least in the chorus.

  • Comment removed

  • This is just a happy song

  • I didn't pay attention to this song, having a country sound that I avoided but in looking back and listening, I now appreciate it. I give this song "100" for the "acting out" ability!!! and it is so nice to be with you....

  • It's so cool this song is still on the radio....LOVE IT

  • ty for the wonderful songs!

  • Oh it's so nice to hear this again:))

  • Oh, its so nice that this video got re posted !!

  • im 44 i always loved that song, thanks for posting it.

    

  • i'm 16 and songs like this are the only thing that can console me when i see what's hot in the charts these days

  • I was a little kid when this song was on the radio and I thought he used to sing, "oh it's so nice to be with you ...and it's so nice to hear you say, you're gonna *beat* me in every way"....

    LOL, it certainly put a different twist on the meaning there !

  • Ah the good old days got to love em. wish they were here still, this music brings back a lot of GOOD memories

  • thanks for posting this one! Great song, and it gives the trolls another classic to try and mar

  • White music is what music is all about. 

  • great song to listen to without the headache like today's pop music is.

  • Takes me back to what I now realize was the best time of my life!

  • Funny, I thought that music was good back then, and assumed it would get even better. Tunes were memorable, and stuck in your head, so much so that you found yourself whistling 'em. Try to whistle yer average rap tune.

  • 7 years old when this came out.When did the music die ?

  • @freak65candy It didn't die. Just went to sleep. This was out when I was a senior in high school.

  • Comment removed

  • Songs Like this defined a generation. Never, Never forget where you came from.

    songs like these defined your life, It's like a special loving memory. Hearing these

    songs keep precious memories close to your heart. If you wind up with

    nothing at all. This is something that can never be taken away

  • @TheSuperbird43 I miss the 70's I have a lot of happy memories from that era.

  • @TheSuperbird43 well put!

  • @TheSuperbird43, Well said!

  • Love the 70's music. Lucky enough to grow up listening to these tunes when they first came out. Fun, carefree, happy tunes, made you feel good just to be alive!

  • Music then was carefree. Music today is careless. I was only 12 when this came out, but still remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks for posting!

  • @akretowicz I was 10 that year. I remember riding around on my lime green sting ray bicycle and listening to this song on my AM transistor radio that rode in the basket that was strapped to the handle bars of the bicyle...dude, I was so CINDY BRADY! lol

  • I've heard music critics say, and I totally agree, that the 70's were the best decade for music. I used to love this song! Thanks for posting!

  • We all talk about music trends and why now isn't then. Something nobody mentions is that back then they didn't have that music so they had to make it. Now days we have that music because THEY made it. So, what bugs me is that in 39 years we'll still have what they made in 72', but what did 2011 have to offer? 2011 TOP 40 SUCKS!!!!!

  • ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL-TIME...ENDLESS...HEART-TOU­CHING LYRICS

  • Its so nice to come back to the 70s . It was the best time for music and it will always be the best .

  • I was just comming home from Viet Nam when this hit the charts.

  • Just plain good stuff. No arguements

  • Cool...

  • I LOVE YOU BABY! It's so nice to be with you! <3 <3

  • It was 1972, I think that's when i learned how to flip my minnow

  • i remember it well.

  • I remember one junior high school dance when I first got to dance with Elizabeth Duquette and I was so nervous. I was so self conscious until Elizabeth said, "sure, I'd love to dance with you." Not only did we dance that night, but I found out that her family was moving to my neighborhood that May of 1972 and we spent the whole summer riding bikes, splashing our feet in the river, sitting on the couch and co-babysitting our younger siblings when the parents went out for the evening.

  • @jeff62rey cute story..

  • talk about flashbacks ..... smiling and remembering the 70's ..........thank you for sharing.

  • One of my favorites in the late Spring 1972. Oh, the memories of peace sign rings, smiley faces, my Schwinn Stingray bike with banana seat, my red & white Radio Shack record player and my 45s, my Radio Shack cassette player, AM radio, and al the other good stuff.

  • It was "so nice" to hear this song again after so many years. Still a GREAT song and I love it! It says it all!

  • I love this :) A sweet love song that isn't just an oversexed curse-fest

  • Did anyone else out there own the K-TEL album BELIEVE IN MUSIC (1972) ?

    It had 22 great hits from the day. I found the CD a few years back, but it had been cut down to 10 songs and the tracks were different. Wish I could have it just like it was back then on CD!

    

  • @windsong1a I have that album and many more.

  • @windsong1a Yep, I still have it too, along with a bunch of other K-TEL albums.

  • @windsong1a If this is the album you are talking about, I have it. It has 22 hits but the one I have isn't called BELIEVE IN MUSIC. It had songs from Gallery, April Wine, Lobo, Hamilton Joe Frank And Reynolds and more. You tube has this video of the original commercial for the album. Just search

    K-tel Records "22 Explosive Hits" commercial - 1972 .

  • The Seventies, (especially the early 70s) was so rich in good music it was like having multiple orgasms inside your ears and brain!! And it STILL gives me that same feeling (even more so) because today's music has turned to CRAP!

  • I was a cool 5 yr old back in '72...I remember this song!

  • Amen joelenseigne120 ! 1972 was an excellent year for music especially that summer ! 

  • Ain't heard this since the 70s. Thanks.

  • On an American Bandstand show in '72, this was the second lowest rated record on the show ever! Song was released anyway, and charted 2/26/72, spent 22 weeks charted and peaked at #4 Guess teenagers don't always know music!

    By the way it sold a million copies.

  • PANTS DOWN NOW !!!!!!!!!!!.

  • LET'S ALL DROP OUT DRAWS.

  • Thanks momsher1 for reminding it was 1972. I could not remember but for some reason this brings back memory of a good time in my life. It probably related to starting high school.

  • Kind of puts a smile on one's face to reminice about the old days.

  • great time 1972 , good memories ..and "It's so nice to be with you " was one of them ..thank you for sharing the feeling

  • Hey Nippie Girl you have Good Taste in the Oldies i must Say .... You Go Girl !!!!!

  • lol i always thought this was Neil Diamond

  • yaaa was very young loved this song . this just were gone awesome number <3

  • Heard this on the radio the other day, remember it from the 70's (am an African American female). Made me smile, always turn it up in the car and @ home...Used to listen to it on WABC w/Cousin Brucie and other DJs growin up in Harlem, NYC ! The lead singer has the most great male singing voice and the backups w/him delightful, the music also gives a "good" feeling. Hope one day a guy feels this way about me, for real...

  • @missuma2 .........cousin brucie is on sirus 60's

  • @missuma2 i didnt think this song would of been played in harlem in the 70s.. i know your age, so i hope your wish comes true soon.....tommy

  • One of the greatest songs ever made. Richie

  • This brings back memories of seeing kids on swingsets in the park and hearing them singing this song aloud or the other ultra-sweet hit "Playground in my mind" from the early 1970s.

  • Now accepting input for Virtual Time Travel development........

  • One of my favorite songs ever!

  • We had this on 8 track. Have since put it on CD. Great song

  • OMG, I so remember singing this song with my cousin Judy. We thought it was David Cassidy at first....then found out it was one hit wonder Gallery (I guess they are a one hit wonder? Not sure.) Judy loved this song SOOOOO much. LOL. And she was older! TOO FUNNY.

  • What a Crafty Cut!!! hey don't 4get on this album they cut Neil Diamonds "Sunday & Me" and did a helllllllluva job I might add. These guys rock 2 kewll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song cheeres me up when im sad

  • this song makes me smile

  • @joeylenseigne120 yes me to..

    god i was like 10 years old when this was in the charts....

  • @ThePamelaross lol im 13 but most teens hate old school music
