I broke the relationship off 7 years ago because I did not want to live there and would be far off from my family . she got into a little trouble 5 years ago when she was with a guy who was no good that she left before she met the guy she married . Now , I'm kicking myself in the head knowing that we were meant for each other . I miss her and wish her the best .

  • "Wake up Champ! It's not time to go to sleep. Champ! I want Champ! Champ!"

    Ricky Schroeder poured so much emotion into the scene many thought it might affect him

  • My husband left after 38 years of marriage.....reminds me of all those years together...and all the good memories.....it makes me cry...... "My love goes with you"......

  • chris thompson - the VOICE of my youth! thank you so much for all the good music back then and even now! you got all my respect and my admiration.

  • assisti ao filme "o campeão",com jon voight...música que marcou minha adolescencia,sem dúvida...

  • há muito tempo eu procurava está musica obrigado !!!!!!!!!!

  • to meg,, hope you miss me too,, take care,, i love you

  • rememb

    ering late 70's

  • If you like this, check out "California" from the album "Watch" by Manfred Manns Earth Band. Chris sings lead and it has a really haunting instrumental break - top music!

  • Dont care if this is not a top 10 song. It is wonderfully sang. Thanks Chris!

  • I have become estranged from my daughter. She wants nothing to do with me and it is just killing me inside.

    I hope she hears this song and has a change of heart.

    I love you always Kimberly.... More than you will ever know

    Momma

  • @kabrki03 don't give up on her, she is hurting as much as you and if you put the two hurts together you both will come out of the pain and hurt together. hope every thing work out for you both, and i know that she always have you in your life.

  • @kabrki03 stay strong - She'll get over what you did to her - If not , then you're not worth the time -sometimes children can't forgive their parents for the pain they inflict on them- Everything works out the way it is supposed to - Get on with your life in the meantime.. and don't focus on your bad deeds- You'll pay for them later ..... Pappa .

  • This is music perfection if I have ever heard it! Have loved it since the late 70s!

  • I wish I could send this song to Kathy Loya.

  • One og the best songs ever but unfortunately never a top 10 hit.

  • A virtuoso performance, where the singer, the melody, and the lyrics match perfectly. BRAVO .... one of my alltime favorites. Hard to believe that CT is the same guy who belted out " ...and go-cart Mozart... " in "Blinded by the Light" ... WOW.

  • Ta con madre la Rola ! un saludo para todos... No se me pongan Nostalgicos. :(

  • One of the most gorgeous love songs I have ever had the pleasure of listening to, and has always been one of my all-time favorites.

  • just like skungles this song really made me misty when I have learned that the girl that I really like is already engaged... this song is dedicated to her...

  • I can't listen to that song without getting misty. And I'm a 48 year-old man.

  • I'm a 44 year-old-man and feel the same you do...

  • I remember this song and Chris Thompson ! It is one champ of a song !

  • wow

  • truly a beautiful song--glad to have been around for every year of this decade, actually remember some of it!

  • So funny!!! T tell my friends there are only 5things I don't remember, 1976, 77, 78, 79 and 80!!!

  • This song brings back sooo many mem's!! God do I miss the girl I was with, I wish she didn't have to movee away!!!

  • Just had to stop back in and listen to this beautiful piece ... outstanding

  • la primera ves que escuche esta cancion fue en finales de 1978, es una cancion bastante buena profunda y que al escucharla deja huella , de una marca en tu vida.,gracias.,por ponerna y poder escucharla de nueva.,me remonta a esa epoca.

  • Mariolagas:coincido con vos , es un hermoso tema y uno de mis favoritos. Supongo que sos uruguayo, ya que en Latinoamerica este tema sólo lo difundió la desaparecida Radiomundo, yo soy de Mar del Plata , Arg. y en esos años me pasaba todo el dia escuchando esa radio, que pasaba unos temas espectaculares y nunca fueron editados en mi país lamentablemente.Hoy los tengo de regreso conmigo gracias a esta tecnologia, un abrazo , Marcela

  • Marcela, discrepo contigo en cuanto a que solamente fue difundida esta canción por Radiomendo, yo la conocía a través de Radio Independencia y especialemente en el programa American Top 40 que se emitía cada sábado y cada domingo de 18 a 21 hs.

  • Beautiful song from a very beautiful movie, 'The Champ'.

  • is very very very very incredible,is too much beatiful

  • Sorry guys, back again. Last night I went on a search to find this gem; I thought of it while I was watching the PBS special on the British singers from the 60's.

    Funny, they featured "a" member of Manfred Mann, singing (allegedly) "Do Wa Diddy" (hmmmmm...). It all made me remember Chris Thompson, thus began the search.

    Now I can't get enough of this damn ADDICTIVE MELODY, that makes me feel so great and so sad, at the same time.

  • Sooo lucky to find this great song after so many years. Marvin H. was on the keyboard, right? A powerful and sad piece, great vocals by Chris T., and a full orchestra in the background. OUTSTANDING.

  • It's been soo long. . . .A freakish 24-yr has passed since I first heard this song, and I've been missing it all this time. . .Got tears all welled up now.

  • Chris Thompson has a very special voice. Seeing pictures of him, you'd never think he had such a touching voice.

  • I wish he did...

  • i first heard this song in 1989. during my grandfather's funeral. the song played in a house just across from the cemetery. i've never forgotten the song. and to think i was just about 6 then.

  • I had been searching for this record and artist since I first heard it in 1984. I was in love with a soldier who was serving overseas in Belize with the Parachute Regiment and he sent me a tape and this is the record he put on it. The relationship didn't work out though but I always think of him and know that I loved him then.

  • remember this song when i was junior high school... i git a huge crush on my friend's cousin and that is the very reason i hang out always at their house, the guy noticed it and he courted me and when i almost say yes to him i found out that he is courting another two girls from neighbor school..what a heartbreak....

  • Beautiful, beautiful . . .

  • Director Franco Zefferelli (The Champ, Romeo & Juliet) was so moved by this song that he insisted that this song should be the theme song and soundtrack after the movie had already been released. In subsequent reruns, this song was promoted in its entirety in the 2-3 minute trailer. That's when I heard the song for the very first time. The trailer was extremely moving and Zefferelli was right on when he picked this piece as The Champ's theme song!!

  • I remember this song from 1979, buying the 45 and playing it over and over, as the teenage romance of that time. Damn wore a grove right into the vinyl...

  • can we start over agian?????????

  • whatever you didnt wait for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Once upon a time way back,met this girl and for unfortunate reason I lost her,and I want to dedicae this song to her,My love goese with you always

  • This beautiful song remembers me the excellent movie named "the champ".

  • nice song miss my high school days...h.t.a (tukmo)

  • really love this song!!!

  • I know this song was on the "Night" album..the group who did "Hot Summer Nights" and was listed as Chris Thompson & Night and hit #17 on billboard. Was this also on a Chris Thompson solo album ?

  • mrbrian 1965; this song was originaly on the sound track from "the champ"

  • If You Remember Me: Very Best of Chris Thompson

    Available on Amazon and Ebay.

  • When the Night album was re - released on CD recently this song was omitted. Its a wonderful song. Thank you for posting.

  • terrific song , when u love some1 or miss

  • Wow. Always loved this song.

  • i wore this 45 into the ground back in 1978-79.  Thanks for bringing it back to my life

  • This song makes me miss Gina so much! I wish she wouldn't have let our dream slip away forever on that cold Saturday night of February 25, 1984. The years we loved each other were the best years of my life. She was so kind, sweet and beautiful and I'll always love her. If it was possible, I'd again want to stand with her at the very spot by that frozen winter lakeshore where she tearfully said goodbye to me. I'd then hold her hands, look into her eyes and play her this song. God bless you Gina!

  • huhuhu!!! i just haveremember my teacher way back high school... she sang this song for me... and i love her so much... and i miss her too!... know what?... when she sang this song?...both of us were crying... and i sing along too... coz i know this song too... i just cant believe that she sang this for me... to my dearest agriculture teacher... i love you... it will goes with you always...
  • Just right where I am on a Monday morning.

    Letting go is rough but necessary.

    This is for you John, wherever you are!

    Smile my man.

    Ray

  • Wonderful music. God bless New York City. Lower East Side.

  • undoubtly 'The Champ'

    thk you

  • I remember buying this record. Did you know it was written for the soundtrack of the 70's film 'The Champ' starring Jon Voight but was cut from the film ?

    Chris Thompson also sang the lead vocals on Manfred Mann's 'Blinded By The Light'

    Fantastic !

  • Great song, No.1 !!!

  • Great song!!

  • the composer of this song c.b.sager and m.hamlisch

  • Chris Thompson performed this track with thr pop-rock group "Night". Thompson was Manfred Mann's vocalist since 1976

  • Released on August 25, 1979, it made #17 in the Billboard charts (USA). From the movie "The Champ"...

  • Ah, slow dancing to this song sometime back in 78/79, to someone who is a long gone memory. One of the greatest love songs ever.

  • realmente, um grande sucesso de 1979, que tocou bastante aqui no Brasil, bela melodia, valeu!

  • Barry Manilow also sings this song. Both Barry Manilow and Manfred Mann's Earth Band are my favorite...I love hearing this song interwoven between the two.

  • Excelente Cancion. Felicidades !!! \/

  • thank you!!

  • EXcellente , 10, plus, +!!!!!

  • Ouvi esta canção pela primeira vez assistindo ao trailer do filme "O Campeão" (The Champ), em 1979. Fiquei fascinado desde os primeiros acordes. Naquela época só me restava recorrer ao rádio para, por sorte, ouvi-la em alguma estação, o que ocorreu algumas vezes. Só muitos anos mais tarde encontrei-a num disco de vinil que trazia a trilha sonora do filme e aí, sim, pude ouvi-la o quanto quisesse. Esta canção me marcou muito, muitas recordações.

  • I've searched for this song for over 20 years too. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and my all-time favorite. It is a reminder of a mistake I will always regret, but the memories are not all bad.

  • esta cancion es una de mis favoritas es el sountrac de la pelicuala el campeon hase tanto tiempo que la vi quiero verla de nuevo pero con mi esposa adriana

  • Thanks so much Oldclassics for posting this!! It was 24 years ago when I first heard and fell in love with this song, as a kid. I have been desperately looking for it since growing up--in vain--cos the name of the singer eludes me. It's great to finally run into it again. It brought back much memory.

  • Essa musica eu cantei com a turma do primeiro grau na tv cultura a uns 30 anos atráz..é uma das musicas internacionais que eu mais gosto...escola EEPG prof. Clarina amaral Gurgel do bairro Jd Eliana z. sul São Paulo Brasil
