Larry..I could say this is a good song and you sing it well, but i don't want to..I want to tell you that EVERYTHING about this is pure finesse...It isn't just that it is a classic..Your warm voice is untouchable...You play that piano that adds such a sweet sound to the song...The lighting and camera angle are perfect for this also..This video brings me back knowing how glad i will be to be here..LOVE the sound of your voice here..You really are a genuine first class act, my friend....ione marie

Oops, *understand

[DiscoverPlatinum]

Thanks for your version. I can under 100% of the lyrics as opposed to 90% from the original version. Very nice tribute and trip down memory lane.

[RICHGREENNOW]

Nicely done!

[auntoni51]

Larry.....I just found out that Annette Funicello is in her final days...I shouldn't have, but i read her conditions and it broke my heart...I said a prayer and i knew i needed your sweet voice and music to warm my soul...And that is exactly what this song is doing....Your voice is making me think of those Beach movies and Annette with the Mickey Mouse club......GOD bless you for your music that is a truly powerful priceless thing....ione marie

[anankl]

That was wonderful. Great performance. Thanks for this great share.

[auntoni51]

Larry.....This is easily a sweet song to hear....And you choosing this one....Perfect one.....Your voice here is so warm, almost like a holiday feel....And that smile...Oh my.....that ALWAYS brightens my days beyond mere words.....Is there a better place to spend the weekend at than your music?......That's a big NO:):).....You are one hell of a musicman!!!.ione marie

This is such a wonderful song, Larry; with your smooth voice and this intimate setting, its effect is like a good glass of wine...warming the listener and leaving them wanting "just one more."

Perfect..

Loved it.

[bookmistress4ever]

What a voice!

[kerasea]

Wow, man you are amazing Larry. You should be a star.

[dllewiszz]

This version is much warmer than the original, Larry ... probably because you put your heart into it like no one else. Another five-star performance!

[SQDLVR]

The first version I ever heard of this song was on my parents Lettermen album "Special Request" but I was 4, later in 1975 I heard the disco version by Frankie Avalon...ugh...I love your cover of this

[podline66]

Oh man you're right.. That disco version was hard to listen to, and I like disco (sorry).. Thanks for the compliment.

[podline66]

But Frankie's 1959 original is magnificent.

[SQDLVR]

I have to agree...and Larry yep I like disco also...

[debbieomi]

Frankie Avalon is one of my mother's favorites.

I'm hoping you'll use some of that footage in more videos some day. I loved the Christmas songs you did that featured home videos. They were truly lovely.

:-)

[auntoni51]

debbie....i loved those christmas songs with the videos too...they were heartwarming:):)!!!!

[auntoni51]

Larry....This is just too wierd....today i was just talking with a lady who was telling me about John Wayne and how frankie was in some of his movies....This cover is a warm sweet version....Put an instant smile on my face and made me feel almost giddy, like a child getting a school snow day...lol.....Your smile could warm the coldest heart:)...........Excellent job.......ione marie
