@Tony70504 yea the times were calmer, depending if u were WHITE,,,lol,,,,anyway, the song sounds great and wishing and hoping one was WHITE does make me feel stupid now,,,lol
Beautiful my memories of 5 th grade in Kensington Park elementary in Miami Florida, just recently arrived from Cuba as a 12 year old in February 1962.. and that song a in number 1 spot in the radio..for many weeks....thanks for posting it!!!! great job.
This is a TRUE classic.............Music isn't what it used to be! I was born in 65, but still remember my big sis playing this....on the turntable... GOOD OLE DAYS!
This goes out to my late girlfriend Cindy L Schmidt ( 1956-202) She's still my angel who's in Heaven. Today you would have been 55 yrs old . I still love & miss you. When it's my time to go Honey, Together we will see how lovely Heaven can be, cause Cindy, you're sill an Angel to me. Happy B-day & R.I.P Cindy . xxoo
This is a great song. When I was in my mid-teens, I would go the local diner and play this song over and over. I'm sure some got tired of listening, but that never entered my mind at the time.
I'm very happy I came across this one. It brings back some very happy memories. Thanks for providing me a chance to hear it again.

Glen Campbell on guitar. Hal Blaine on Drums. How could this tune not have been a great top 40 song ?

I have always loved this song. I remember the older girls in their pastel prom gowns, balmy weather, and really, really cool cars.
