Johnny Rivers used to jam with Elvis at Graceland in the 60's. One night Elvis sang the tune "Memphis Tennessee" written by Chuck Berry and said he was going to record it since he lived in Memphis and felt like it was like his theme song. Well, Johnny beat Elvis to the punch, he quickly recorded and released it to the public before Elvis. Elvis was really pissed and said to his Memphis Mafia buddies "Don't ever let that Sonofabitch in here again!"
I was the biggest "walllflower geek" in high school you could imagine......and even I was able to cop a feel or two slow dancin' to this. Bless you Johnny Rivers
When nice soft music go to your heart through your ears and then it touches your soul and your imagination can not stop dreaming with pure authentic love, the kind of love that a soft touch of hands makes you breath even more nervous,then you realise love DOES exists as well as romantic people,it's just that we all use masks in this world, a silly game true romantic people do not follow...
We just celebrated our 52 anniversary. When this song came out it became our favorite and has been our song ever since. Still have the same feelings about Her now as I had then.
A little girl came up to me when I was in my uniform one day (Army JROTC) And asked if we can slow dance and we danced to this lol. I made her day now time to slow dance with my gf to this
This song totally brings me back to seventh grade '78 roller skating with my boyfriend Kevin. He was such a sweetheart back then, very smart. We broke up cause my family moved to Cali. I sometime think about where he is today & how he is doing. I love, love this song, it's a beautiful love song! Thank you Johnny Rivers for such beautiful tune. I have downloaded this song to my ipod.
April 14,1981, junior prom in Lebanon VA and slow dancing with Brenda Rasnake. The best night of my life. After 30 I still miss and love her so very much.
You only get one shot with a girl like her and I messed it up somehow, still not really sure why but it ended on Thursday November 12,1981 at 3:17pm.
@TheJer1963 Almost every man has one or two stories like yours. Keep your memories friend, those glorious moments will be alive forever there, we know. Girls have them too.
This played on the airwaves in the spring of '77. It reminds me of love not unrequited but unfulfilled which is why I'm playing this endlessly now having just rediscovered it. We did slow dance and sway, the lights were low but we were never alone......wonder what she's doing now.
To Michelle C. of Des Moines IA. - I Loved you so much in High school. I was "In" Love, you wanted to be just friends, and thats ok. '76 May seem like a long time ago in years, but to me it was this morning. I still love you, and always will. Not long now - cancer. But i'd given up this whole life without you to dance with with you to this song, just once. God I loved your hair, your perfume, even the jewelry you wore. Just once. Just held your hand... once.
@BHSR61 and cbargione .....that is so funny......I also had a Grand Prix!! One of those HUGE tank size one's! Lot's of college memories with that car. I kept it for years after college until my husband made me get rid of it because I didn't drive it anymore and "it was just taking up room in the carport"!! I put up a fuss though because I didn't want to!
My wife and I have 6 kids, from 3 to 13. We don't get much time alone, but when we do it is still amazing. Samantha, you are the one I thought I would never find. I love you!
This music is way befor my time but it was the first kinda music i heard wit my dad and all my uncles jammin to johnny rivers! This song was always the one i loved to hear! Great tune!
I can remember growing up in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. After the football game the dance. There was nothing better than holding my girl and swaying to this song..
I had the ultimate pleasure to dance with my Wife and Daughter at my Son's wedding to this most beautiful song. As we were dancing , I sang , "As we danced together in the dark , so much love in this heart of mine. Whisper to me and hold me close , you're the ones I thought I'd never find...........The moment was PRICELESS !
@bagnumberthree This was playing late one night as I was driving home after my daughter was born. You can go to hell. If you dont like a song,DONT LOOK IT UP!
My boyfriend in high school wanted me to pick a song that could be "our song." So being clever, I chose this one because his last name was Swain - So it was slow dancing Swain to the music. Good times, good memories.
Simplesmente o melhor de todos os tempos! Sua personalide de mostrar o melhor da música nos faz acreditar que podemos viver cada vez mais e aproveitas as melhores coisas da vida! Salve, salve, Johnny.
Tell me something friends...am I going crazy, or has this age in which we reside? I just listened to this newest piece of garbage that is the rage among the kiddz..."Friday," and it was inane, zombie like noise compared to the beauty of this music to which we danced, and to which we found a sort of normal teenage existence in the seventies. Give me just 24 hours back in time, just 24 hours...
@jeff62rey you,re not crazy jeff;we,re still here listening to music from our time,back when a little idle time wasn,t against the law. oh yeah, if you,re gonna wish, wish big ,take a '71 chevelle or a'70 cuda with ya.
@jeff62rey I have a 14 year old niece who really likes the beatles, and has lots of old classics on her MP3. and she says that the modern stuff isn't very good compaired to the beatles music. So maybe there is hope
@musicman3557 hmmm yeah, i'm also a 14 years old and we have ALOT in common. especially the beatles. my classmates tease me about it but i just ignore them
@musicman3557 A&R stands for Artists and Repertoire. They basically look for acts to sign to a particular label. They have other duties but I forget what they are.
reminds me of va beach late 70s cruiseing the strip and hanging with my girl friend at the time.man the 70s sure were some great times.wish we could bring them back one more time.
50Smyth is married to his sisters' uncle cousin's nephew's niece !! But that's ok , Johnny's still that kind of great guy who sends his blessings and condolences !

TO THE GIRL I THOUGHT I WOUKD NEVER FIND LUCKY ME AFTER 12 YEARS ITS JUST YOU AND ME WONDERING WHY I AM SO BLESSED BY YOUR PRESENTS IN MY LIFE TO THE KEEPER OF MY SOLE I GIVE YOU MY LOVE MIVIDA EPNLV
My wife and I first made love to this song back when I was seventeen. Then moments later, Spoonman by Soundgarden started playing...imagining explaining why thats on your love music mix xP
This song is one of my favorites!!! My husband and I dance in the living room to it! This has been my favorite song since I heard it back when I was a kid. I had forgotten about it for a few years when I heard it in a grocergy store on the speakers. This is a song that has influenced my life TOTALLY!!!! I love it, it reflects how I feel about my husband of 16 yrs. Proud to be, Mrs. Anderson
MARIANNA...my girlfriend and i slow danced to this song at my place...it was a dream come true..i have loved this song for decades and always wanted to dance to it with someone i loved...it was special because i love her so much and she loves me...we also kissed in the rain last summer and that was magical..every moment with her is paradise..she outdoes every fantasy i have ever had..i love you
Takes me back to 1977 on the way to the beach in a 1977 Grand Prix- they plated that song a lot back then- loved it then and it still got it! That was when great music was being done!
Buck62sugar -- it does bring a lot of that back. The tight satin shirts whoa. It's a wonderful, simple song that brings back our youth. Love it. JR has such a wonderful voice in these soft songs.
Hey, buck62sugar...what's so wrong with that? (smile) This song is simple and it is simply wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Johnny Rivers, and thank you, TheCinera for sharing.
Makes ya want to throw on some Aramis, put on your finest silk shirt (that fits creepily tight), polyester slacks (from Chess King), platform shoes (no comment), and take your lady out to the finest Fondue restaurant or Tiki bar, ending with a little slow dancing. Yea, i love this song.
me and my lady friend use to do the skaters waltz to this song(won first place!!) that was back in the days that i could skate all night thanks for posting this song it sure brings back wonderful memories!!!!
@NY1love - Actually, yes. I suggested this to my ex for the first dance song at our wedding. She liked the song too and agreed. We always joked about having a Top 40 wedding! The relationship fell through and we never got married, but I remember this song and the good times we had.
lots of good memories attached to this one. I remember slow dancing and singing this to my future wife just before proposing. We had our 30th anniversary this year.
This song brings back hot summer nights, when I was unaware that there is an end to things like those nights. The first slow dance was a few years off yet, wondering what that would be like. It eventually arrived, and it was as nearly as good as this song. God, music brings so much back doesn't it?
Lia `once of Hawaii', 30 years ago this was our sing and we danced to it many nights. But I wasn't the right man for you. I know that, but I'll never stop loving you. I hope you have a good life. And I wish we could dance just 1 more time. Jim
One of his best. This song is one that moves you. You can feel it. It has so much meaning. I remember my Father playing this on a 45 and dancing with my Mother to it RIP both. I was thinking of them and this song came to mind so I sought it out here. Thanks to the poster. Brings back so many memories. They just don't make them like this anymore. I was 5 when I first remember hearing this.
if this song does not close the deal for you at the end of the night, then its not a deal. which means she just wants to be a friend. so if you are on your second or third date and she has not gave it up, then its not it. SONG IS IT.
I heard Poor Side of Town on the radio this morning, so I just had to listen to Slow Dancing when I got home. Transports me right back to high school days. Such fun!
@17865329 See your point ,but definetly can't argue that johnny is the consemate performer that he is ! He does so much charity work for childrens' causes and for that he has my undivided respect !
This was the last song played at my 8th grade prom. I finally got enough courage to dance by then. i never forgot the song. It took me a little while to remember the girl though.
God I love Johnny Rivers. I'm practicing his songs on guitar and vocals . I have a female friend who will do the do do do waah, shoo be doo be... So it's very cool at this time !

Does a guy ever pick a wedding song? I love this song so much, and it seems like the best possible song to dance with your significant other.

@NY1love - Actually, yes. I suggested this to my ex for the first dance song at our wedding. She liked the song too and agreed. We always joked about having a Top 40 wedding! The relationship fell through and we never got married, but I remember this song and the good times we had.

This brings back so many memories, that special girl, all alone, and this playing in the background, and yes slow dancing.

lots of good memories attached to this one. I remember slow dancing and singing this to my future wife just before proposing. We had our 30th anniversary this year.
one of the most underrated artists of my time.

This song brings back hot summer nights, when I was unaware that there is an end to things like those nights. The first slow dance was a few years off yet, wondering what that would be like. It eventually arrived, and it was as nearly as good as this song. God, music brings so much back doesn't it?

Lia `once of Hawaii', 30 years ago this was our sing and we danced to it many nights. But I wasn't the right man for you. I know that, but I'll never stop loving you. I hope you have a good life. And I wish we could dance just 1 more time. Jim

One of his best. This song is one that moves you. You can feel it. It has so much meaning. I remember my Father playing this on a 45 and dancing with my Mother to it RIP both. I was thinking of them and this song came to mind so I sought it out here. Thanks to the poster. Brings back so many memories. They just don't make them like this anymore. I was 5 when I first remember hearing this.

if this song does not close the deal for you at the end of the night, then its not a deal. which means she just wants to be a friend. so if you are on your second or third date and she has not gave it up, then its not it. SONG IS IT.

Probably should be in the Rock N Roll HOF, though the criticism I suppose would
be that some of his biggest hits were covers, he has some great original hits too.

@17865329 See your point ,but definetly can't argue that johnny is the consemate performer that he is ! He does so much charity work for childrens' causes and for that he has my undivided respect !
