  • way to go man posting a great video on u tube best ive seen in a while this song reminds me of my childhood for some reason

  • Yes!!! I've been trying to find something on this song for years. No one ever seemed to remember anything about it. Thank you!!!

  • Everyone knows that the decade of the 70's was the best decade for almost all genre's of music, including but not limited too, Rock, Country, Pop, and Motown. Can I get an AMEN???

  • I have been looking for this song for 35 years myself. So glad to hear it again. Thanks for posting.

  • I have been trying for years to get a hold of an LP with this song on it!! Does anyone have a copy or 2 around?

  • This is great! Is this from the 45 rpm? If so, do U have the flip side, "Wind Song"; I've been searching for it for years. It is beautiful, one of his unknown best. If anyone has it, would love to hear it again ! ♥♥♥

  • wow blast from the past

  • looked for years for this ---finally found a copy

  • Anyone know where I can find this version? I can only find the instrumental.

  • wow I've been trying to find this song for 40 years never knowing the title. FINALLY! thanx!!

  • You said if i don't see something i'm looking fo to request it there was another version of this song that was recorded by Lobo on the flip side of one of his records if you have that version could you please post it, I've been looking for it a long time as I used to have it on the original Bang Label 45...

    Thanks! Brian...

  • FINALLY! I learned this song when an older sibling brought home the 45, I guess about 5 years old. Though I tried to sing the song for each of them (once grown), nobody seemed to remember but me. so since then, i just carried it around, for almost 40 years. I thought it might have been the dirt band, but couldn't remember the artist! Thanks for the "time machine", 40 years later, I still remember those days as best!

  • What memories! Great song by Frank Mills, I still have the 45 too which I bought in grade school. Sure takes me back!

    Thanks for posting! I'd like to get the whole scoop on this song and why it doesn't appear on any of his albums.

  • Another fine song from the Saturday Night Oldies Show days 1985-1994.

  • Thank you so much for posting this.

  • Was played on WIP in Philly in 1972, and then vanished from radio.  Great song. Thanks for posting.

  • this song made me cry ... more than the girl did, haha

  • It was the coldest, snowiest winter of my life and this song was a hit. Brrrr....

  • I heard this song ONCE in 1972 coming home on a long trip from my Grandfather's funeral and have looked for it ever since. THANK YOU so much for posting this!

  • How this was never a #1 or at minimum, a top 10 hit, I'll never know.

  • I know that all those who remember and love this song are still asking themselves: how could this have not been a top 10 hit? let alone, not even top 40! see my Enigma playlist for similar mysteries.

  • I have the Very Best of Frank Mills CD, and this song is included on it. But it is the instrumental version. Anyone know where I can find this version? I prefer Frank's vocals to the instrumental. :)

  • I am just now discovering the depth of Frank Mills' talent. This is a great song. I had no idea he was a vocalist, too! :)

  • thanx 4 posting...rip Frank Mills

  • I can remember a slightly different version that was called the organ grinders song, but could never find it. This is great.

  • Found it here in under a minute! That's a World Record for me!

    I love to harmonize with it (or is that BUTCHER?)

    You never understand lost loves until you've really grown up.

  • You wouldn't believe all the songs I

    butchered, over the course of my life,

    trying to sing along with 'em when they

    were played on the radio! If i named

    them all, it would be THE ALL-TIME

    PARADE OF MURDERED HITS!!

  • heard this song many years ago and it always stuck with me.

    I searched for it for a long time and finally here it is!!

    Thank you for posting this song makes you reflect.

  • I heard this song in the 60s as a young girl and always remembered the the verses of the song. I have been looking for this version and who sang it for years. Thanks to whom ever posted it brings back memories!

  • Never had the 45, just heard it on the radio when I was a kid. I remember getting teary when I first heard this song. Thanks for sharing!

  • A great song. I almost forgot this one. Thanks for sharing this one!

  • I had forgotten this song existed.  I LOVED the video that took me back to the past. Very well done!

  • OMG... I have wanted to hear this song again for SO long... Nobody I know even remembered it and today I saw you had uploaded it! Thanks for the GREAT flashback... I never thought I'd hear this song again!!!!! :) :) :)

  • thought I may never have heard this one again, it was my ALL time favorite as an 8 year old- thanks

  • Thanks to WKBW this is a very familiar song. Can "Gillian Franks" by Jerry something be next on youtube?

  • Wow..... I still have my 45 of this song (one of the first 10 I ever owned), but, as you can imagine, it is "well played". Thank you for this amazingly clean version.

  • My comments are the same as those of emicrocall and redmancheyenne, posted 3 months ago. Thanks for bringing back this song!!

  • i didn't know frank mills sang.

  • This is for sure worth finding.

  • Ahhh, the early 70s were a great time for AM radio. And so much wonderful stuff from Canada. Thanks for posting.

  • Love this song...sad yet beautiful at the same time...

    Thanks for the memories.

  • This one really brings back memories! Thanks for posting!

  • I remember that too!

  • Thanks so much for sharing this rare and original oldie. I was 10 years old when my sister and I used to play this 45. Since then, it has fallen into obscurity, and is unavailable. I have the instrumental version, and have heard the remake Frank Mills has on his "Best of" album. It's just not the same. Don't know what ever happened to our 45, but remember it well. Thanks again for making this sweet song available for others to relive.

  • You probably know this, but check used bookstores. They often have records, good prices & fair condition, sometimes excellent.

    Flea markets, yard sales, etc. are hunting grounds too.

  • Thank you so much, you just made my day..I been searching for this song for years, last time i heard it, was in the 70's...just befor heading off to school..laval high...

    Thanks again...

  • Haven't heard this song since I was 12. Been searching for it for years! Thanks!!!

  • Thanks so much!! I have wanted to hear this for years!

  • Used to hear this played on CJEZin Toronto - Carl Banas - and just loved hearing Frank's music. Great memories!! Thanks for this!

  • Lord I haven't heard this in 35 years if not more...it brings back warm, fuzzy memories of listening to my transistor radio under the covers after a Leafs game when I was 8 or 9, then listening to CHUM-AM til I fell asleep.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • Who said that time machines can't work? I heard this song, and was instantly and magically transported back over 30 years in time.

  • He was with the Bells and played piano on their North American hit "Stay Awhile". Also his keyboard performance on their song "Fly Little White Dove" is quite good!

    Incidentally, as a vocalist he did a remake of Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" that got a lot of airplay on Canadian radio.

  • Thank You for putting this song on here. I always thought it was a great song. I remember the chorus and use to sing it from time to time to myself but I never heard the song in 30+ years. For some reason, I thought it had come out in the 60's?

  • I remember this song, and I know Frank Mills for his "music box Dancer" but I didn't know he sang too. What a nice surprise to find this and hear it again!! Thanks !!

  • Thank You.

  • Thanks so much for this!! Brings back memories!

  • Love this song!!!

  • Me too. Thank for the comment!!

  • It has been 32 years since I heard this. What a blast fromthe past. Suddenly I'm 13 years old again. THANKS!

  • Your are welcome. Thank for the comment!!
