This song is beautiful. I must say that I've never seen so many decent comments on a youtube video before.The memories written below seem lovely. Those were some great times, yes, and things were simple. Though people old now might think that those were "better days," we all know that there were tough times too. Kids today might be completely different, but can you blame us? You guys changed the world, and that changed us.
I'm 19 years old, and I never said I wanted the milkman to stop coming.
I have just discovered YouTube - thank you for this. I love this song - she was and still is such a bab! I agree with most of all your comments and feelings - this is such great nostalgia and great music! It is a pleasure to read people appreciating rather than degrading. Thank you all!
I wore out the needle on my little RCA portable Record Player playing this song.
I can remember listening to this on 45 RPM records back when you had to put that big round thing on the spindle to play more than one record at a time.
I would stack as many as it would hold on right before bedtime and drop off to sleep to Gogi or Tex or Patsy.
The 50's were not as great as everyone seems to remember but they were still wonderful in so many ways.
What memories this song brings back. It came out the first year I was in the US Navy. I am old now, and I sure miss the Old Days. It was a simpler time, and people were not so self-centered as they seem to be now. Most of my family and friends are gone now, but I still have many, many sweet memories.
Although I was not born when this came out, by hearing this, it does take a person back to a gentler time. :) Even an Gen X person like me can really appreciate music like this. I love it! :D
This is one of the two first songs I remember as a child. I always loved this song....great arrangement. As a 4/5 year old I used to hang be at my grandparent's house a lot. They had one of the large cabinet hi fidelity combination of radio and record player. I used to play 78rpm records all the time.......and this is one of my first musical favorites. My other favorite from that time was Rusty Draper's version of The Shifting Whispering Sands - 1955.....check it out.
@larryglass61 From ROGHARM age 11 in 1956 agree 100000%. heard the song on NBC RADIO NETWORK on its program called MONITOR all summer. Will never forget agree with LMHS63 1000000%.
Makes me sick to consider what toddtj is discussing -- bootlegging from current artists is one thing; enjoying tunes from half a century ago is another thing ENTIRELY.
@sonyahannah But you need to consider that Gogi Grant is still alive, and enjoys royalties from the "legitimate" sale of this recording. There's simply no easy answer to this copyright mess.
Nice share Rich; how I rememeber my parents listening to this, Ghost Riders in the sky; and who could forget Patsy Cline? Memories blowing within the wandering winds of our past. Such a wonderful memories, like a warm breeze from a Summers night dream. Beautiful; Truly. . . .
I think this era was perhaps the greatest era. Dignity, innocence and a sense of wonderment. While I was a teen in the 70's, I've always thought that to have been a teen in the mid-to-late 50's would have been the best.
lI thin it was 1956. My mother only allowed us to have one half slice of bacon because it was 'so expensive' and oh I loved hot oatmeal with margarine and plenty of sugar for breakfast. It was my 3rd grade and I had a classic yellow raincoat and rusty red lunchbox. My mothers best friend also had a boy my age and she had a green Studebaker..
@HudLarry If the up coming Protect IP act (United States SenateBill S.968) passes you might not be able to keep taking refuge in this routine. Essentially, if this bill passes this video existing on Youtube will become a felony. Any video on Youtube containing any copyrighted material, in fact, will be punishable with up to 5 years in jail. Honestly, I don't know what we can do about this as I'm not really law savvy, but at the very least I think everyone needs to know about it. Pass it on.
Sounds good now I am almost 65, but that was when I was in the 3rd grade in 1956. Not a good idea to be drunk from mother's cooking at breakfast when you are only 8. LOL
True, as great as Patsy Cline was she couldn't take this one from Gogi, anymore than she could take Tennessee Waltz from Patti Page. She did however take Rose of San Antone from Bob Willis. She buried him! Patsy had enough of her own hits she didn't need to try and take those of other artists. Some song's like Gogi's can never be taken away. Similarly Jambalaya will always belong to Hank Williams, as great as Brenda Lee is. Superhartline
I remember this as a winter song from 1954 or 1955. I've sung it frequently since then. I was a teenager then and it brings back memories of home and my mother and father.
I still live within 15 minutes of where I grew up...a life long NY'er. Always had employment, now retired with 2 pensions, mortgage free, good health care. NY has been very good to me ! Be well, we miss you !
This reminds me of those wonderful summer time Sundays on Jones Beach, Long Island in the 50's with Mom, Dad, brother and sister before we all grew up and went our separate ways.
Don't go to that beach anymore....not my kind of crowd, hate Rap...and oh the tatoo's some look like Summo wrestlers....yikes. Thanks for uploading !
@LMHS63 Had the identical experiences ! Jones Beach with my parents, mid-50's, Gogi Grant. Moved from Valley Stream to Florida in 1972 - still miss NY !
@LMHS63 I agree. Those days people were classy, even blacks were classy. No latinos and no unworthy immigrants that did not want to assimilate. They all wanted to be American. Now people take pride in being bad, and behave in a tasteless manner. Too bad our society has degraded to such a bad state because of the liberals and hippies. They say we ahve progressed, I think we have regressed. Schools did not need police to keep order like today but discipline was enforced and kids respected elders.
@calihartley2010 Are you some sort of bigot? You sound like some one who is not well educated. You probably didn't finish High School. I haven't heard such absurd & ignorant comments in awhile. It is pathetic.
@rgoddess1 wow you sound like someone with no brains. Please take a minute to look around and tell me if the world is good now. Then talk, You are the one that is absurd and ignorant.
@calihartley2010 You may have a point there, but you can't blame us kids for the system our parents created! Schools are more integrated because they thought it would be best. Maybe it's not. I've seen it work in Canada, but I've heard horror stories about it in the US. Either way, we have progressed. From what I remember hearing about back in your day, black people had to use separate bathrooms than white people. When I first heard that when I was a child I thought it was completely absurd!
@Rivercitygirl89 I agree with you. This present generation cannot be blamed. It is the hippies who raised or influenced us that should be blamed. They ruined the whole world especially the west. Those were tough time, and blacks did have problems. However civil rights has doen nothing for them. Welfare and so called equality have ruined them and further degraded them. They have also regressed and ae ruining western society. I do not feel sorry for them at all now and blame them and the libs.
Some time in 1956. I was 6 years old in Yancey Co., NC. We had a big radio with the lights and all. A big but cozy old farnhouse by the river. Can't go there anymore.
Since I was a kid in the 70's, I've had this song on a 3-LP compilation, "Autumn Leaves", and have loved it ever since hearing it for the first time. I had the pleasure of meeting Gogi Grant at an autograph show in California a few years ago. She is a true doll and still looks wonderful. I have the LP that she signed for me on my wall in my room.
I respectfully disagree with the other writer that this was a "deferential bow" to Patsy Cline, particularly because this song was a hit in 1956, and Patsy Cline did not hit the big time until 1957 with "Walkin' After Midnight." In addition, Ms. Grant sung in the same style with her "Suddenly, There's a Valley," and that was a hit in 1955.
@mcfrdmn I Agree, so sweet and poignant and LOVELY! Wonder why so many posters have to offer their two bits? Like or not, simple isn't it? We like Gogi, period!
My all time favorite Song!!!!Thanks Gogi,God Bless you for bringing such wonderful Music to us....Thanks for Posting this great Song and the Great Lady GOGI
I think the summer of 56, I was 17 going to pick up my girlfriend in portland oregon, went to grade school their! any remember, the best time in world history no doubt!
I remember when music made you calm down...get away from stuff. It was all artificial, of course, but how is that different from the "meds" we take today to make us ok? I'll take Gogi Grant, Jonnie Summers and a bunch of others before I will EVER take Prozac!
I knew this song with Pat Boone , but these two ladies are also fantastic (Patsy Cline and Gogi Grant). Thank you for the uploding =a grandfather from Budapest/Hungary

Hi, Spenna99: You've taken me back to those golden high school years and a gal with a golden voice and glittering version of "her" song, with a deferential bow to Patsy Cline. Thanks for the time you and others take to upload these bricks that construct our Memory Lane. Cheers, all. Buzzroller, Vancouver Canada, May 2011
@buzzroller1 Its funny you mention golden high school days. I just came back from visiting my high school 45 years later. What a walk down memory lane and songs I associated with those days.... Glad my upload of this song helped you in this regard as well.
My mother's favorite song. We sang it together many times. Cannot hear it without thinking of 'mama'. She died when I was 13. Thanks so much for the posting.
This song came out in the '50s when I was just a little boy. I loved it then and I love it now! Gogi Grant's voice is unbeatable in my humble opinion. The orchestra with its French horns is simply marvelous also.
This is an all time classic! she charted on Billboad's Hot 100 list 4/28/56! It is one of the longest charted songs of all time...28 weeks on the chart, 8 of them at no. 1.
What people who down-voted this like: watch?v=MPBpYIZC9PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, the dulcet industrial clanking of Surgical Penis Clinic! Featuring the tender screeches of an alleged human female vocalist!
(I've never before snarked on the handful of down-votes that shows up on pretty much everything, but either there's some sinister conspiracy to destroy music, if not beauty itself, or seven people clicked the wrong button, which I admit I've done myself once or twice.)
This darned song motivated me to run away to California at 16 from New Mexico. I learned to smoke on the drive, and all in all I was introduced to life such as it is. I'm 71 now and my journey isn't far from over. I never did run away from myself.

Billboard's 11th #1 song of the rock era. How was Gogi's stage name pronounced, the 'gi' part, with a hard g, like grapes, or, a soft g, like gelatin? Please let me know. God bless!
Dear Spenna99....Thankyou so much for posting...my mother died in her 90th year several weeks ago...this was one of those songs that both of us loved so much. Brings back awesome memories and assists during the grieving process. Thanks again!!
I was only 5 yrs old in 1956 when this was a #1, yet I remember my mother then 26 singing & playing this over & over on her "stereo" in our little house.What is even better is listening to this again in 2010 with my mother who is now 81 & still sings it beautifully again!!. ......precious moments.....with precious people. Thanks Gogi.....& thank you God.
Another great song from my childhood. The composition, melody, her great singing, orchestra, all were of the best quality one can imagine. I still love this beautiful song!

Now, this was clarity of voice! What a gal! Gogi Grant, (born 1924, real name Myrtle Audrey Arinsberg) is still alive, performing this year (2010) at the Palm Springs Follies in California.
Another great song from my childhood. The composition, melody, her great singing, orchestra, all were of the best quality one can imagine. I still love this beautiful song!
Wasn't she gorgeous? Any other Boomers recall that in that era, several songs used wind or river motifs? I think "They Call the Wind Maria" came from that time. Another song my father sang was "Oh Shenandoah."
SPENNA99 So many thanks for posting this. So many happy memories of singing this with my Dad in our vintage Volkswagen on long road trips. The audio is superb.

This song came out in the '50s when I was just a little boy. I loved it then and I love it now! Gogi Grant's voice is unbeatable in my humble opinion. The orchestra with its French horns is simply marvelous also.

This is an all time classic! she charted on Billboad's Hot 100 list 4/28/56! It is one of the longest charted songs of all time...28 weeks on the chart, 8 of them at no. 1.

@26greenrose Gogi Grant had a wonderful voice and this was her biggest hit in the U.S.A.
I always loved a song by her called "The Ride Home From Boot Hill."

What people who down-voted this like: watch?v=MPBpYIZC9PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, the dulcet industrial clanking of Surgical Penis Clinic! Featuring the tender screeches of an alleged human female vocalist!
(I've never before snarked on the handful of down-votes that shows up on pretty much everything, but either there's some sinister conspiracy to destroy music, if not beauty itself, or seven people clicked the wrong button, which I admit I've done myself once or twice.)

It has been decades since I last heard this, on some forgotten car radio or elevator PA.
Whenever and wherever, I was not able to appreciate the beauty of Gogi's voice, although the tune is and has always been in my blood.
Thank you so very much for posting this, and bless you, Gogi, Stanley Lebowsky, and Herb Newman for creating this.

This darned song motivated me to run away to California at 16 from New Mexico. I learned to smoke on the drive, and all in all I was introduced to life such as it is. I'm 71 now and my journey isn't far from over. I never did run away from myself.
But I still love the song today.

Billboard's 11th #1 song of the rock era. How was Gogi's stage name pronounced, the 'gi' part, with a hard g, like grapes, or, a soft g, like gelatin? Please let me know. God bless!

@DaveWollenberg Hard "g". So, it's Gogi , rhymes with "Yogi". Hope that helps.

Does anyone own a copy of Gogi singing "You're in Love" on the Era label? Came out possibly in 1957.

Wasn't she gorgeous? Any other Boomers recall that in that era, several songs used wind or river motifs? I think "They Call the Wind Maria" came from that time. Another song my father sang was "Oh Shenandoah."
