Daniel Boone - Daddy Dont You Walk So Fast

[audiomez]

I recall thinking at the time Johnny Maestro and Wes Farrel could' have "nailed" this sucker!!

[naturalaz1]

This song always used to make me cry when I was little because I would imagine what it would be like if my dad left us and my dad used to sing this at parties playing the guitar...then when he died when I was 19yrs old in '86...this song always reminded me of those great days...even though I used to cry...thanks :')

[Tperez671]

THIS IS A GREAT SONG, VERY SAD THOUGH. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND ALL THE MEN OUT THERE THAT YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO HUG YOUR FATHER AND TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM...

I WOULD DO IT EVERY CHANCE I GET....

[DominickFontana]

Fantastic! I'm a grown man and this song still brings a tear to my eye. Wayne Newton had the big hit with this song in America, It is a timeless classic. Thanks so much for uploading it.

[Tperez671]

@DominickFontana TAKES A REAL MAN TO SHED REAL TEARS BROTHER,,, DONT HOLD BACK.... 

[TCBfan62]

This is a beautiful song. Hadn't heard of it until recently.

[jesliveshere]

falling out of love with your partner happens to so many familys..

and when children are involved this one act scars them for life..

im fighting for my son, he'll no his dad

[nilesheather]

My father would've been 79 today. He died 22 years ago this past July. This song makes me think of him every time I hear it. Happy Birthday Daddy. I miss you.

[Iris6576]

We I was a youg girl, like 45 years ago, I can remember saying this to my father....We lived on a cane farm in Burnett Heads, outside Bundaberg.....My youngest sister 10 years my junior said the same....The song relates to my 3 younger sibblins, as they went through the mothert leaving the home...............I had left home.

[EMZZ95x]

[Ettoredipugnar]

Much better than Wayne Newtons cover.

[peanup123]

Thank you so much for putting this song on Youtube. I have tried to find a copy of the Daniel Boone version and it seems like you can only find Wayne Newton version. This is the version that I grew up on. Brings back many memories. Thanks again!

[allenparsons31]

nothing else to say but true grit song brill.

[michaelseidof1]

tears come to my eyes

[lancealot790]

This always reminds me of childhood, listening to it on the radio.

A memory of a more simple and happy time.

[MissPiccollo]

This song made me cry. My dad left when I was little. Later, he told me that just as he had pulled onto the highway, this song came over the radio and he pulled over because he was crying so badly. I wish he had turned around and come back so much it hurts. Please, if anyone out there is thinking of leaving your family, don't. Knowing your parent chose to go leaves behind scars that never really heal. When my dad lost his memory, I prayed he wouldn't remember this. It might have broken him.

[hopethehermit]

@MissPiccollo I was going to leave, but every time I thought of doing so this song haunted me: it didn't need to be played but was just there in my head.

[Tperez671]

@MissPiccollo RIGHT NOW MY SON IS GOING THROUGH A CUSTODY BATTLE WITH HIS EX GIRLFRIEND, SHE HAS TAKEN THE BABY AND WONT LET HIM SEE HIS SON, ITS BEEN A FEW MONTHS NOW AND WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY LIVE, THE COURT IS HELPING US RIGHT NOW. BUT I WRITE YOU CAUSE I UNDERSTAQND YOUR FEELINGS AND WISH YOU COULD HAVE MADE THIS YOUNG GIRL UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE YOUR FATHER IN YOUR LIFE. LOVE YOUR MESSAGE, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

[bluefalconfox]

it's a heart killer for me, but I love it!

On the contrary, your video is good. It's nice to hear other versions of hit songs. Thanks for posting it.

[jlarsson7]

For Dad's everywhere who really care & contrary to popular opinion there are lot's of us out there.

[ChadWilliams25]

I LOVE mp3iiiiify it WORKS just google mp3iiiiify.

[AnthonyBrynt9]

I LOVE mp3iiffy it WORKS just google mp3iiffy.

[lmradioful]

original version by wayne newton.

The best one is this, by daniel boone, in my opinion...

[cmulwee001]

@lmradioful No

This is the original, Wayne Newton's version is the cover/remake.

[muti7777]

Geez... if this doesn't move you, you must be made of stone :)

I do like Tony Christie's version, but this one pips it for me...

[MJL3764]

Nice images - i prefer this version to christies.

[rnv09]

great song just think it is so true that is how it is now for many children sad world we live in it has grown bigger that mummies leave also

[iceblast9]

nice!

[nicoladickeson]

This is the version I remember and I think it is the best

[squadie25]

Wayne Newton-1972; but Daniel Boone had already had a hit with it in Britain in 1971.

[shparkz]

daddy i miss you so much and wish i could see you on this fathers day. I may have never shown you how much i loved you but i did. Wish you were here love you always. xxxx

[MrTrashcan1]

This is okay, but I definitely prefer Wayne Newton's arrangement. Daniel Boone should stick to Beautiful Sunday.

[cmulwee001]

Interesting how you think Daniel should stick to "Beautiful Sunday",when, actually this song came BEFORE "Beautiful Sunday"

[MrTrashcan1]

Touche. All I meant was that "Beautiful Sunday" was his hit, and "Daddy" wasn't, and I think for good reason.

[cmulwee001]

Actually, to me, this would have been a perfect song for Elvis to record. His deep- soulful voice would've suited the song perfectl.-

[yloshaw]

you know i have been trying to find daniel boone music everywhere. thank you. now my kids watch these videos with me and love them too.

[MrSteveUtah]

This si very nice,Not so sure who the the version I loved as a kid,seems there were a few and all from artist I like

[MrSteveUtah]

Tony Christie done this as well

[cmulwee001]

And the Tony Christie version sounds similar to this one, IMO

[mrtrashcan]

I never knew Daniel Boone had a UK hit with this. He didn't show up on the US charts until 1972 with Beautiful Sunday. In 1972, Wayne Newton hit #4 with Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast, and that's the only version I ever knew. And while Boone's verison is nice, I'm still partial to Wayne's. Thanks for posting this!

[lilbrowstalker]

I think Wayne sang it better.

[hkherring]

i cant say much about this. so i will say ( YOU NAILED IT)

[kiruza57]

Una bella cancion,una historia conmovedora,y la mejor version.Un gran tema.

[tweasha]

i would sing this song to myself in my bedroom ,i had to be alone cos it would always bring tears to my eyes, still love it though thanks for posting , this site is so good

[elofan567]

Thank you for your nice comments.

[Brandojack1369]

Yeah,you wouldn't want to show genuine emotion in front of others.

[tinybunny01]
