This is one sweet, lovely song from a time when the world did not seem so off kilter as it is now. Simple, yet lovely music. mirrored the world around it at that time.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if the world could be so pure and sweet and again?! Thank you for a great post.

Sunday evenings, sitting infront of the small oval shaped tv on the floor and the rest of the family there looking at Ed Sullivan show and seeing all these people singing. Those days are gone for ever, and so are model Ts'

Que hermosa cancion .

[clockworktim]

I love this song. Oliver Stone made great use of it in his film, "Born on the Fourth of July." Incredibly memorable, just prior to the introduction into the Viet Nam war, Regardless of that movie, this song has always been so hauntingly beautiful. I remember they played it at my senior ball (a long time ago- ha ha) even though it was before our time (even back then). It holds up as an anthem for any one of us guys who has ever loved a girl from afar. Cheers, everyone.

[danojr1]

i just met a girl named after this song and she told me to listen to this song because i never heard it before.

Life is beautiful and so are woman named Oveena =D
