I heard this song the other day,it reminded me of what real music used to do for you. Can you here the message in the song ? Todays songs are not putting out that today.
Peace AND Love - very simple? So simple we haven't managed it up till now. Even less of a possibility considering the direction we are going. I had hoped that we would see it realized - my being a naive Vietnam teen generation!! Still a song that means something to me -and in which I believe
This song brings back the memories of innocence, before the realities of death, destruction and mayhem of Vietnam became our wakeup call. Jackie DeShannon probably had no idea what was in store for the next 50 years.
The time was viet nam I was 19 .The spring of 69 Iwas night guard duty.This song came on and missed Ca. And today I'm 63 still sounds great. Thank you Jackie!
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
This song was featured in the finale of the movie Scrooged, and ever since my family associates it with Christmas. A great holiday message song, even if not intended.
It's not god. It's humans deciding to do things better to better the human species. Otherwise you'd have to be calling all the deaths from earthquakes and other natural disasters as gifts from god too.
I agree with all the comments, except for a few, that probably like the slutty stuff! This is a great song, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it! You are out numbered!!!!!
@TvojMati YES! i was just listening to Magical Mystery Tour and it made me think of this song and here i am. can't believe someone else thought the same thing.
No,she is not a great artist....pathetic really.It is the message that is so great...In my life,there have been people who have crossed my path and their anger, and dire straits,have made me think, if only you could put a little love in your heart....
I thing Jackie is one of the most under rated songwriters ever... this is beautiful and as a radio DJ for over 40 years have I played this and more of her songs!!

go listen to jason mraz.....but songs other than im yours his lyrics and singing and meaning is indescribable......he is out of the class of most modern music
Give Jackie a short hairstyle like Pet Clarks and they would look like sisters. Jackie is so beautiful and I love that liittle cry in her voice. So very special.
There is ONE recording artist today who does appear to me to have just about this level of class, and that's Taylor Swift. Unfortunately, she gets drowned out all too much by the Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Pink and Rihanna stuff...
This was the very first record of any kind I ever bought (a 45, I still have it). I was 9 years old and loved this song so much. I remember playing it over and over (as I did with The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar to my parent's dismay!)
Can you imagine if an Artist came along in the current Society and tried to market their song based on the strength of the Lyric's message and simple presentation of it ?
The record company would tell them, "Come back when you've got some slutty gymnastic dance moves with butts and cleavage sticking out, and then we'll talk"
LOL!
This song is just PURE and TRUE and I LOVE IT !
Where is this kind of Love Energy to be found in Today's media ??!
Agreed. Solution: make the media / music industry types (cultural standard destroyers) who promote, package and spew the crap disseminated today into fertilizer. Many in Hollywood and media won't let their kids 'consume' that crap but they have no problem making money appealing to the base nature of mankind to make a buck. "And the world will be a better place, and the world would be a better place, for you - and me, can't you see, can't you see..." ;-D
@majik2hanz people have been complaining about recording companies all the way back to elvis. he hated the crappie movie soundtrack songs he had to sing. what can you say...their capitolists. capitolists are not known for their community standards. a capitolist isn't immoral their ammoral. they just want to make money on whatever sells. if theirs moral issues involved thats for sociaty to settle..they dont care..except for the money. they'll record a murder as long as it sells.
@Zeuszgrl- I LITERALLY ALMOST SPIT OUT MY BEVERAGE IN THE OFFICE WHEN I READ YOUR COMMENT! I am an aspiring musician and feel your pain to the "nth degree." I especially like this song @ the end of "Scrooged," starring Bill Murray. Awesome.
Hello, All. It was uplifting, positive lyrics like these that allowed us to weather the discord and violence in the 60's. We could use more of this type today. PS - I saw Jackie DeShannon when she opened for Neil Diamond way back in the 70's. She sounds even better in person. Peace to ALL.
I wish I were At the top next to the man and able to look out through every woman's eyes anywhere!..in any time environment...She's Way a Friend Lookin Like!
inducted into the songwriters hall of fame in 2010! she we wont be forgotten.. a generation in the future will only view her as a vangaurd. as she was brilliant!!
Maybe the 60's and 70's were AHEAD of their time- It really is TIME TO GROW UP AND LOVE NOW
