[RRRRapify]

Thank you. My old grandma wants to hear this song, so I plan to play it in the car once I take her for a ride.

[McHaggis62]

My dear old dad used to play his ukelele and whistle this one. It has a special place for me.

[meredith218461]

I've only just discovered these ladies, they're fantastic and such a lovely rendition of this song.

I remember when this was first released during WWII. It was a 3 two sided 78: by Capitol. I was at work when Martin Bloch Disc Jocky for His "Make Believe Ballroom" When he played this song on our shop radio. The whole departed stopped to listen to it and all commented what beautiful close harmony and it neved aged still makes me want to be in love again. NickD

We had a wind-up grammophone, and as a boy I used to fight my brother for the job as a winder. We had Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and many other oldies, really lovely memories of my folks, oh how I miss them !!

[psvsia5555]

This song brings back bittersweet memories ... of loves I had which never even had a chance to reach full flowering (sigh) I do wish one of them might think of me just a little, even just once in a while (sigh) ... Heartfelt thanks to you for posting this song!!

[KatieBelleW]

reminds me of my beautiful cousin who sadly now is gone and we played this song over and over,wish they woulfd make music like this now

[jvmoley]

this was a time when ''words and music'' had meaning-- just listen to it

[hector8752]

I HAVE BEEN SEEKING TUNES FROM THE LENNON SISTERS BUT UNABLE TO GET ANYONE, CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE CAN I FIND SOME OF THEM??

[jerseyguy242]

Anyone who remembers the Lennon Sisters on the Lawrence Show will know the eerie similarity to the original sung here.

[thomaslomas]

love the song , like the version by the beat scene

[nauort23]

The more I listen to music of this era, the more I believe that rock'n'roll is the most overrated slop that was ever sent over the air-waves.

[windmill1947]

[smackitupNflipit]

My grandfather used to love this song.. awesome..

[javcampbell]

[mamakath23]

I grew up with this song. My dad's cousin was married to Michael Edwards, the composer. He was from the coal region in North Eastern PA. Wonderful man! Grand couple!

[TheSciencefiend]

Absolutely delightful. A great era for wonderful music. I truly pity those poor souls who know nothing of this music and who listen to (c)rap thinking that is all there is.

[benjaminfheilenman]

[Agonotheta]

[internezzo]

this is a special song for Louie and me, we have a crackly LP recording of it, next year 2010 it will be 20 years since we met there are still some crackling embers lol.

[dgarnes1]

Their sound is particularly lovely on this song...their voices blend beautifully, as only "sister groups" do

[PaulinaRena]

I love to listen to this version of this beautiful classic over and over. We met The Dinning Sisters' brother, Ace, a number of years ago. He played a great steel guitar. What a wonderful musical family. This music is meant for all ages and it was written by true talent. Thanks once more for posting this. - Paula

What a beautiful song sung by three lovely ladies. Their sweet voices make this old classic really special Whenever I tune in to our music channels on the TV I am always impressed with the beautiful songs of yesteryear . I sit back and relax and feel so peaceful. Not long ago I heard this one by The Dinning Sisters and am so happy you have shared it with us. Thank you Joan. - Paula
