Bobby Goldsboro Watchin Scotty Grow

[ashleyhockenberry]

Great song!

This really brings back the memories 1974 or thereabouts - wow, I'm getting old

[scottchurchson]

I was named after this song. My mom was 8 months pregnant with me with no idea what to name me until she heard this song on the radio.

Yes, they do grow to fast, I have five children and I do not know where the years went. My oldest will be 40 this year and the youngest just turned 29 . Love this song has a lot of meaning to it. Watch them grow.

In 1970 the man I had just met and did not even know that he was to be my husband, told me when we were listening to this song " that is going to be my son's name" and 8 years later it was. so I love this song for my son and my late husband. It brings back a lot of good memories.

Neither one of my boys are named Scotty and they are in their 20's and 30's now, but this one really hits home. Great song about what is really important. They grow in a hurry!

[mwesley01]

Love this song, but think The Dead Milkmen might just do a better job of it. Ahh...mmm

[zoggy1950]

this is my favorite song by Bobby..I also like "the Straight Life"..

[d4seasons]

@zoggy1950 i love this version better. organ & all.

[tamolli59]

my son Scott was born Dec. 1978. His name is in large part due to this song and a little bit thanks to Scotty Baldwin on General Hospital. :)

[Scott8Anthony]

@tamolli59 I was named after Scotty Baldwin too.

[MrDeerecub1977]

why is he wearing a helmet?

[heavyhitter1977]

My mom named me after this song back in 77'...Lost her to liver cancer on 11/11/2009, love and miss you so much mom!

[harwicke]

Beautiful hair helmet.

My Step-Dad was a morning DJ on WHEN in upstate NY back in the 70's. I had the best music in the city because of him, but for some reason, this is the one that sticks out. Maybe because my name is Scott. Or maybe it's because I'm a dwarf with a sense of humor. Anyways. Good tune for the times. Word.

My mom bought me the 45 when I was baby and she would play this for me and sing it to me. God bless you mom - I lost her 7/22/03 - I miss you singing this to me.

[Scott8Anthony]

@Scottoftl I still have my 45. My parents bought it for me too and played it on birthday every year.

[lazybbones]

Wonderful magic. I've loved Bobby for years. I wonder, though, what his nationality is.  Is he Indian, or what? Thanks.

[dyad2r1]

@lazybbones - Nothing I've read indicates his ethnicity except for one article that said his name was originally spelled Goldsborough.

[mydadssonthumper]

Dad used to sing this song to me as a kid. We lost Dad on 11-06-2009. Thanks Dad for everything. You are the greatest man I ever known. We will always love you.

[Quantanthead]

It was the darndest thing. I'm out cleaning the cat box and this song pops into my head. I just knew youtube wouldn't let me down.
