This is going to sound strange, but what the heck. Back in 1987, in the delivery room, the doctors had a cassett player playing oldies! This is one of the songs that was playing. My wife would roll her eyes when I would remind her of it. Maybe not the best place to play the song, but it always has meant alot to me. My little girl has married and moved away to start a family of her own, and my wife has passed away, so the song has more an effect on me than ever!
@Dannyrerun I thought you had posted this here before, but I don't see it now, anyway, I'm very glad to have it back...such a neat story (except about your wife, so sorry) Music can have a profound effect on our lives, that's for sure...thank you so much for sharing your story.
I found a lettermen cassette amongst my dad's things when I was twelve or thirteen, and fell in love with their music, especially this song. I would dance around the room listening to this, and dreaming about my crush, haha. :-) I'm pretty young, but I love music with good vocals and a great melody, and you don't hear that in popular music as much anymore.
I had a copy of this song on a 45.then the album...I bought the 8 track of their greatest hits and took it with me overseas during viet nam....wore it out...bought the cassette and listened to it all through college when it came out on cd had to have it and its always close at hand....I am sure listening to the Lettermen all these years got me though some tough and troubled times but when I hear the harmonies everything seems right.......thanks for posting...
@roanokebarry The "thanks" go to YOU for serving your country!! Thank you!!....We know music can be a powerful thing, and your experience just goes to add to that proof...thank you so much for commenting...please continue to enjoy.
Great music by the lettermen, a great group. I believe this was their first big hit and it is still wonderful to listen to today. Great music stands the test of time.
@1968friar1 I remember when this song was at it's peak in our area...wonderful time!! We who were part of that era, I don't believe will EVER tire of these songs...after all, what do we have today?? Thank you for commenting.
@ejdav God Bless you glad for you! Never happen for me but when I listen to this I am driving a 1963 409 chevy on my way to pickup my girl, it is Christmas eve and we are going to Reading Pa to the Embassy theater to watch a James Bond movie - Goldfinger then to midnight mass at her church in Pottstown pa. Good
I heard this song for the first time today. It almost brings a tear to my eye. This. This is real music, not the crap playing in today's generation. It's a shame I was born so late. I would do anything to be a teen during the 50's. For those who have had the opportunity to have experienced this back in the day, you are very fortunate.
@Thegirlnextdoor42 I was, and it was a time that was so fantastic I don't have the words to describe it...at least to do it justice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, for commenting, for the friend invite, and the sub...please enjoy!!
Those times were musically magical. I have been happily married for 47 years, but when I hear song like this along with the likes of, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes & My Prayer (Platters) Night, (Jackie Wilson)At Last, (Etta James) Hurt, (Timi Yuro) Since I Don't Have You, (The Skyliners) & so many others from that era I can't help but think of my first love. I think one of the all time great lines in romantic songs was in Jackie Wilsons Alone At Last. I kiss your finger tips, your eyes, your lips.
for Jill: Fifty years since, but no matter how long it has been, I can still see you in your prom dress and conjure up that old feeling. What a wonderful time to have been involved in your first love.
Now this is music, beautiful music! The harmonies alone soar & send me thru the stratosphere. My favorite Lettermen song hands down! You certainly know what you are doing ejdav! Keep it up with the great quality uploads!
This makes me want to dance under the stars. Thanks Loretta. I needed to hear this again. Thank you, too, ejdav for posting this lovely version by the Lettermen.
@lettermen1 Phil: I knew you would pipe up with the answer!! Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking it up! LOL! ( I was a junior in high school that year .)
@lettermen1 : This was one of the wonderful ones of the sixties for me....I had already liked the song from a Fred Astaire movie, but this arrangement is really a winner. .I can't remember whether I had the 45 or not - if so I'm sure I wore out the grooves!
Today, September 30, 2010, my husband and I are celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary. He played this song over and over for me on a diner jukebox the night we got married. It's been a very special song ever since then. ♫ ♥+♥=♥♥ ♫
This is a song so beautiful it can bring on tears. Around 1:05, what a classic moment in a song! Amazing.... Beautiful..... Haunting..... What more can be said about this classic?
I had never heard this song until The Lettermen had a minor hit here in the UK back in 1961. To me, it is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Thanks for this posting.
I think this is my old 45, I also have it on LP, cassette, and CD. Did you check out the flip side of the Curtis & Del song? I posted it yesterday. Thank you for your comment. You do have "Like Strangers" by The Everlys, right?
I have heard so many renditions of this song and by far The Lettermen ARE the song.
