  • She is captivating, but time does march on. The ripples never come back...

  • So, so pretty a song. This version to me, is better than the slow rock ballad in the movie. SO GREAT on so many levels. Profound talent. One of her biggest hits.

  • Donna, I had a major crush on you when I was a kid. You were the highlight of the Beach Party movies and the Shindig TV show. I loved your Dr. Pepper commercials. You and Shelly Fabares ushered me into puberty. Ah, nostalgia...

  • @Wayne92953

    Wayne, don't forget "Annette"! Remember, when she "outgrew" her Mickey Mouse Club outfit (with all respect here)? I wanted to marry her when I would get of age! I agree with with you, gorgeous women - incidentally, Shelley Fabares was Annette's best friend in real life. Great memories...

    Ciao, L

  • Wonderful Donna-You OWN it!

  • Sitll a great singer and beautiful woman!

  • Love this song Donna, Fantastic singer!!!

  • A beautiful rendition of the song Donna sang in BBB. This one I like alot.

  • i sang this at the variety show at my high school && the teacher running it said "THAT SONG IS FROM BEACH BLANKET BINGO!!!" funniest memory ever<3

    i love this, amazing voice she has(:

  • WOW DONNA YOU HAVE TIMELESS BEAUTY. AND STILL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOUR VOICE IS STILL REMARKABLE

  • Great to see Donna again after all this time. VERY lovely lady. The last time I saw her was in 2000 in a very brief segment of an AMC documentary called "Hollywood Rocks The Movies - The Early Years" that was narrated by Ringo Starr. The song was good (a remake of one of her '60s tunes), but the video would have been much better if it was just the guitarist and Donna without all the quick edits, distracting backgrounds and varying angles.

  • This is right off her website

    Shes 63

  • Man, Donna still looks great. She must be in her 60`s now. I loved these movies as a kid. I was in love with her as a kid, after seeing this, I`m falling for her again!

  • this is really beautifull and touching, but i have to say i still prefer the original.

  • She's got one of the best voices and was overlooked in the 60s. Amazing voice and beautiful lady.

  • She should have left well enough alone. I barely got through it. The original is way better.

  • DONNA, THIS IS THE GREATEST! I COULD LISTEN ALL DAY! LOVE YA!

  • I like the stripped down version of this song. You should do a upbeat version.

  • It's a lovely cover of her own song but would have been better with just her and the guitar "player." With a pretty much acoustic, simple song like this, there's no need to pull every trick out of the editing book (I could have done without the backup echo singers, too). Agree that she still looks fabulous.

  • @staytunedfor Amen Brother! No need for all the video trickery with a song like that. I realize that there's no room for subtlety in music videos anymore, but with an arrangement like this one, the subtle approach would have been a better way to go. Donna looks great still - proof that if a woman gets older, there's no need to load herself up with Botox. The looks will mature, but never really diminish.

  • Wow. Donna still has a great voice. Nice to hear something new by her.

  • I can't believe she is in her 60's she looks amazing here.

  • Still a very pretty lady!!

  • great video donna- you haven't lost your touch at all,still good looking chick!!!

  • i was very young but i remember some of her commercials,donna still looks great today,thanks for posting

  • LOVE IT! The "Dr. Pepper Girl" is still gorgeous!

  • Thanks for posting this; it's wonderful to see & hear Donna after so many years.

    She sounds great and is beautiful as ever!!!

  • I just had to say that since I'm in my 50's that my love for Donna keeps growing and I enjoy all her stuff that she's done over the years. I like this version of when I cry. I really think that she should do a version of "to sir with love" with a METAL edge to it... That would be cool!

  • this gives me chills. so great!

  • Still sounds and looks great! =)

  • She still has a great voice. I loved her in all those Beach Party movies!

  • I just got Donnas new CD, MAGIC. Some of the music is experimental but its a thrill to hear Donnas thundering contralto wrap itself around some adult music. As always with Donna, there are those moments that gospel singers call singing in the spirit, when her glorious voice just breaks loose and transcends, taking the listener along with her to a higher place. That has to be why she became a star. She could do that even when she sang a silly beach movie song.

  • Her voice is still great however the arrangement sux though !!!!!!!!!!

    too slow

  • Christ almighty, who the hell edited this thing? Great songstress, great song, some nice shots, but poorly put together. Totally wrong pacing for this wonderful song and artist.

  • @Capt777harris your right about the editing very poor,who ever put this thing together,ugh! pitiful!

  • @Capt777harris, maybe Donna herself? Great body for a women in her 60s (b. 3-7-47). IMDb has shots of her in bikini and leotard.

    This vid though, I think is in bad taste. A little something more conservative would have helped.

  • @deafsubtitles Is so, then she should stick with singing. It's very jerky, and doesn't flow well.

  • @Capt777harris you are totally correct. bad editing.

  • @bluehairspaz Thanks. Whoever did it was probably trying something new, but it's really odd. It doesn't fit the tone of the song at all.

  • Nice...

    have many of Donna's songs on my MP3 player.

  • I am enjoying watching various/all Donna clips on youtube Im watching them all at the moment, would love to see her tour in UK

  • OMG!!!, Lady you are still as classy beautiful .. wow, I love your music and never got to see you when you lived in Hawai'i nei. Mahalo nui loa kaua Donna Thank you for posting this ... Huggles

  • Wow! Deja Vu!

    I remember hearing this song at the movies a long time ago.

    Songs like this made me grow up to write them.

    Thank you for this and thank you Donna!

    ♫ ♫ Merry Christmas ♫ ♫

  • More more more... I love it.... she sounds and looks just as wonderful as I remember thank you.

  • She looks like 40 yrs old here!! I know she's gotta be older, ok, maybe late 40's. WOW! I hope I look like that when I am her age! Thanks for posting this! Not too many women can be in their 50's-60's and still look great! WOW!

  • She was born in 1947.

  • That was very nice. what a talent . Thx.

  • Great song, Donna you still have it. Always loved your voice and this song. That being said, the video is over-produced. When you have a voice like Donna's to work with you don't need to overdo the cheesy video effects. It just detracts from her performance. Donna, keep singing, but find a video director with as much talent as you.

  • This is amazing! Donna Loren is another one of those singers that I have loved since I was a kid. She is still beeautiful and sounds amazing! Is ther a whole CDto go with this? Donna, more please!

  • I don't know which version I like best!

  • sounded good just alittle slow compared to the movie . would of sounded better a little faster. She got passed by like so many other top singers of the 60's

  • WOW, she's still got it!! it's amazing that she still sounds so great at 62.

  • DONNA YOU ARE A TIMELESS BEAUTY! LOVE YA' 4 EVER Dan N.Y.

  • Wow, I mean, like, WOW! A little 45-year-old Beach Party ditty redone as a smokin' torch song. Dang. Works for me. Well done, Donna. Brilliant.

  • Donna is back and sounding better than ever. Now I know there is a god.

  • And I fall in love with Donna all over again

  • You sound great, Donna!

  • G'day from downunda Donna and a great new video...and it was nice working with you last year....

  • Donna Loren back sing? that's great! beautiful voice!

    será o lançamento mais aguardado de 2009! grande cantora, linda voz!

  • Finally, she's back !!! What a great voice !

  • Wow...She sounds great!!!!

  • Its almost surreal watching Donna sing this song again in 2009, but so beautiful. Bravo! Bravo! I wont wait for my birthday to get MAGIC. A new Donna Loren album, I must have it now! hahaha
