  • Brings back memories of all I have known, Those who I knew, that are no longer with us and those that I haven't seen in years.

  • A GREAT SONG WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED ON U.A. RECORDS #258 IN 1960

  • Redford

    I agree

    Bobby Redford for president.

    or even JR Ewing.

  • Redford, Nick was a helluva nice guy too.

  • Redford Fortunately Bobby Ewing came back to life the next season. I wish they would rerun "Dallas" I was in surgery during that show. I only got to see Bobby's funeral. "Dallas" My favorite show I lived there for over a year. I even guarded Pam's mom's house. which is in North Dallas. the guy who owned it was Nick DeGuiseppe. The house itself went for 5 million dollars. Quite beautiful it was. Course rich people can't pronounce Cabana right LOL It was great too.
  • Row, row, row your boat, life is but a dream. That's how I feel about the deaths of Michael Landon and Michael Jackson. Any day now, I will wake up and realize it was all a bad dream, just like Bobby Ewing in that cliffhanger episode of the TV show Dallas.

  • This is one of my all time favorite campfire songs. I sing this song to my 8 week old grandson when he's getting ready to go to bed & it puts him in a really good mood so he goes right to sleep.  What a beautiful & peaceful song.

  • I heard this summer when I was 11 years old. Loved it then and love it now.

  • i am learning this song in choir...but it doesn't have the exact same tune.....

  • I know I am a transplant from an earlier time ! I was born in 1965 , this was before my time .I love all the 60's folk music , Just touches The soul. Thank you for this .

  • LOVE THIS SONG

  • Mui Lindíssimo., meu prezado Edgar. Valeu a pena. Um abraço

  • It amazes me that three people can sound like a whole choir, what excellent harmony.

  • I know this is some kind of religious song, but I have always absolutely loved it!

  • The 4th #1 song on the new Billboard Easy Listening (Adult Contemporary) charts. The Highwaymen were the first group to top this new chart.

  • A fantastic song...touches d soul...

  • Love this!!!!

  • Thank you so much for posting this. For a few minutes I can enter grammadoll's time machine and be happy again in a better world. Retro45rpm, thanks much!

  • I would give anything to return to that time when this song came out. Things seemed to be so good and right. My god! What has happened to us in the last fifty years?

  • I was only about 12 years old when this song came out on the radio. But, even at that young age, there was something about that song that really struck a chord with me. To this day I have never grown tired of listening to it.

  • I just love this and it sends my baby to sleep..gorgeous

  • Amazing that this went No1 in the decade that was to give birth to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones et al^^ One of the greatest songs ever written

  • It don`t get any better than this.

  • One of the all time great songs; Gil Robbins, never forgotten. You'll be missed RIP :(

  • my brother loves this song i love it to its so peacefull

  • i like the hallaluya part.

  • Very Very Nice~!~!~

  • The late, multi-talented, Gil Robbins was a member of The Highwaymen.

    "Michael"  -now a Bona Fide American classic- was THEIR song.

    Recording-date? Irrelevant.

    Official Music of The House of David

  • Sorry as I am to hear about Gil Robbins' death, he joined the Highwaymen in 1962 - the year after they recorded this song.

  • My uncle died on the same day(April 9, 2011). I think we will sing this song at his memorial when the family comes together in June to remember him. Awesome song!

  • RIp Gil  I loved this song when i was a kid.

  • Gil was my music teacher when I was in 3rd grade. An engaging smile and a smart bow tie back in 1959. Another iconic folk singer has left us. Rest in peace, Gil; guess the boat made it to shore.

  • RIP Gil Robbins April 9, 2011 One of the great songs of Americana

  • A #1 hit for The Highwaymen in September 1961. It also hit #1 on what is now the Adult Contemporary charts and was #1 in the UK.

  • yes, it is beautiful, an African-American spiritual from the days of the civil war, though modified here..

  • Beautiful song, beautiful picture . . . thanks for posting!

  • Classic Christian song that simply can't be forgotten once you hear it.....

  • absolutely 

  • Almost 50 years ago and I'm still here. Amazing.....An all time favorite song. Takes me back to being a junior in high school. Ya gotta love music...it's like a time machine. Thanks for posting.

  • @grammadoll Yes it is.Time,and time,and half a time.For we are in the time's The key is Glory the lord of Host from the begining.Not the end'sFor they look up for a sun to save them.On a sunday. It is eacy for one to fall for.It was told before time's For it was the morning star.Isaiah 14v12 kjv Rev 22v16.For they must come away from it.They forgoting.What told them, and what made it all.That the little one's may know the truth.Before you go.For then you are of the truth.the Law and testermony.

  • R.I.P CHIT, JAYS, MARIO D. and all my lost freinds

  • To my Dad! I still remember listening to him sing along with this song when it was widely played on the radio. Michael

  • I'm sure he knows we are thinking of him and we miss him Marc. Hugs from your sister, Dana .. xo

  • @writerlady45 It sounds like your father was very lucky too. It's nice to come across something so positive, especially in conjunction with such a beautiful song. God bless.

  • ONE OF MY FATHER'S VERY FAVORITE SONGS...(he always did have good taste) YOU ARE GONE JUST A BIT TOO SOON, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE & MISS YOU ...Clear sailing, ol' bean...wherever you are...Dedicated to Lloyd Pardo - from Marc

  • Dad .. you never had to worry how good a father you were. You were the best father in the world to this girl. I will always love and miss you.

    Dana
