On this date in 1959 {Feb. 9th} "Venus" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100, on March 9th it peaked at No. 1 {for 5 weeks} and spent a total of 17 weeks in the top 100...
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.

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.
Sometimes I wish I could go back time, when I saw him in person in, Antioch, Ca at the holiday Inn. He kissed me on my cheek I never wanted to wash my face again. LadyProwler100
