Sandy Stewart's best 3 hits are: MY COLORING BOOK; PROMISE OF LOVE; and HEAVENLY FATHER. In musical world, her popularity is similar to that of Shelley Fabares (famed for JOHNNY ANGEL). They are in their peak in late '50s and early '60s, the era of the Twist and instrumental band sound. Afterwards, there come The Beatles, as part of the "British Invasion". HAPPY. VALENTINE'S DAY to all music lovers, with emphasis to DMB. From Edgardo Valentino D. Olaes
Sandy Stewart started to lean towards the Patsy Cline sound in 1968. She also composed songs for Patsy Cline and backdated the release to the fifties for copyright reasons to confuse the press, her many agents etc
For 21 years now, I've been trying to find out who sang this song that was so popular when I was growing up in Cavite, Philippines. Then a few years ago, a younger friend of mine sent me a cassette tape of this song -- but then, without the singer's name! I was so frustrated -- until I came across this song on YouTube just now as I was listening to Johnny Nash's "Walk with Faith in your Heart." Thanks, Onsop, for this one. . . I am sooooo grateful! You helped solve a decades-old puzzle!
A favorite on Fiesta Dancing Nights in the barrios. I can still remember the ladies with their partners swaying their skirts with petticoats to the tune of this lovely song. Thanks for sharing ONSOP.
I wish that we could have this kind of music again. I like it. I grew up listening to my mom's favourite songs such as this one. When I hear this song, I am reminded of the simplicities of life way back then. Those were the days ....
Wow. I'm a '50's fan and a Filipino guy, and I didn't know she was popular there. I'm familiar with her from her appearance in the 1959 rock n' roll quickie "Go Johnny Go" where she rocks out with her version of "Playmates." Thanks for posting.
We who grew up listening to this song might have inadvertenly missed its power it can conjure up at present. Relegated in the abyss of age and forgetfulness and never to be played as the new songs came up, now it can be told that this song is never after all a thing of the past, worthless and irrelevant, but an instrument of the past that can lift and inspire lives by evoking the memories whcih further enrich and ennoble lives
I remember this one too. Reminders of the early "innocent" and sometimes crazy years back in Dumaguete City, Manila, the 50s, the 60s and more. Many of these "oldies" are probably still collecting dusts in the closets of fans in the Philippines but it looks like some are now also slowly starting to come "alive" again. Many thanks to "onsop" and the whole generation of "Boomers", myself included. We are now older, wiser and happier. We all have our memories, the rest have yet to create theirs.

Exactly my sentiments, Ella! The songs during our (my time and perhaps your mom's time, too) era were more meaningful and heartfelt!
Yup, those were the days ......
