  • kelli, this our song. so close but yet so far away. one day, our hearts will be together. remember this song. its ours forever.

  • Wow! I was there, too!!! I've loved Sonny ever since, had the album. Remenber the one called "I just called to say Hello"? What a trip.

  • You're the first person I ever ran into who was at the concert...I wish I could remember who else was on the bill....anyone that you can remember... Hunter Hancock from KGFJ was the MC...what a great show it was!

  • I saw Sonny Knight at my first Rock & Roll show at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles, I was in Jr. High. Others on the show were, the Penguins, Don Julian, The Carlos Bros., The Masked Phantom Band, The Olympics, others I can't remember, I think The Clovers, and James Brown...at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles..this was a very expensive show, $3.00, but you have to remember, it included a movie. A couple of years later, it cost $7 to see Jackie Wilson... the best investment of my life!

  • That's unbelievable!! Inflation is just a scam to screw us!! I used to see 2 movies for 35 cents. Those were the days! Great song, though.

  • this song is dedicated to Kelly. only she and i understand the words to this song. it should be, but can never be.
