  • Claro que a melhor época será sempre a que estamos, todavia no tempo dessa canção, as pessoas frequentavam as baladas para se divertir,curtir e namorar, e não como agora, que infelizmente as pessoas não se respeitam, é isso aí.

  • Who knows when it was recorded?

  • Quão belas recordações! Juventude e um coração cheio de Vida e Esperança! Obrigada por esse presente.

  • Never said he died, but I understand the confusion. Sorry about that. Very poorly written on my part.

  • This song is NOT about his mom...being "too far gone" refers to way back when he was on drugs, took about 500 pills a day, died twice & had lots of financial trouble, God spared him and his wife Gloria stayed with him through it all! He has 3 girls...and is MY favorite artist, have seen him in concert more than a dozen times...he will be 70 on August 7, 2012!

  • @ladydog1980 I must disagree with you my friend. It is so OBVIOUS that this song is about a teen-age mom, & has nothing to do with PILLS!!! I suppose we all will have a different interpretation of lyrics, but I stand by mine!!! Anyone agree?

  • @TheMustangsally75 Sorry for the confusion, I KNOW it is NOT about pills! I was refering to an earlier thread where someone said he and his wife were supposed to go out wth BJ and Gloria , but HE was "too far gone", someone asked, what do you mean too far gone? THAT is what I'm refering to..YES the song is about a teen mom just 16 and all alone, when the baby came to be...OMG...and NO he didn't write if..have you read BJ's book?? "HOME WHERE I BELONG" VERY good book!!

  • @ladydog1980

    Another prospective is that he most likely didn't even WRITE the song!

  • Como já disseram, foi tema da primeira versão da novela Selva de Pedra. A molecada de hoje não pode imaginar o sucesso monumental que esta música fez, he, he!

  • Realmente Pretinha, essa música foi tema da primeira versão de Selva de Pedra. Bons não, ótimos tempos. Eu daria tudo para voltar naquela época.

  • One of me favorites growing up.

  • Essa música me faz relembrar a primeira versão da novela SELVA DE PEDRA.

    Bons tempos.

  • What an amazing voice.

  • It's about his mother.

    

  • esta musica me lembra uma cena de novela e também da época de nostalgia que vivíamos que lembrança boa

  • essa musica me marcou muito na decada de 70.foi um ano em que o gosto pela musica que falava sobre temas de amor tocava nossos corações e nos levava para um mundo de sonhos e da paixão, pelo qual sonhava-mos com a plena felicidade.foi muito bom,mãs o que seria de nós se não cultivasse-mos um sonho?

  • @brauliosomdopassado Bráulio, eu também frequentei muito a zona e tomava todas ao som dessa música linda, logo, eu te entendo, amigão...

  • I miss my mom! She is 9k miles away and I hope she can make to visit us next summer.

  • @junglemanlawyer1 That sucks... I can't imagine living so far from my mom

    

  • @EdTyBo Thank you for understanding Bro!

  • I got to see bj in concert two years ago in frankfort ky he is still wonderful and very much alive cant wait til he does another show here!

  • sem comentario foi demais

  • Dancei essa musica em meados de 79, nunca me esquecerei, quão maravilhoso era essa época.. que saudades.

  • essa foi a primeira música internacional que curti,continua fazendo o mesmo efeito até hj,.nunca me esqueço,primeira versão da novela selva de pedra,faz tempo!,

    a esperança,os sonhos,esta música ainda me faz sonhar,

  • QUE RECORDACAO MARAVILHOSA,SELVA DE PEDRA 1 VERSAO,COMO JA DANCEI ESTA MUSICA,TEMPOS BONS E QUE NOS LEVAVAMOS AO DEVANEIOS...

  • Nossa! viajei ao passado, minha linda e feliz infância...Obrigado Deus por tantos momentos maravilhoso na minha vida! Deus é maravilhoso!

  • amo essa musica demorei achar mais acheiii !!

  • esta cancion es muy bella, mi trae muchos recuerdos.. de mi niñez el cantante es lo maximo

  • I have almost everything Bj has recorded and this is very good.

  • Is the Catholic Church a front for the New World Order?

  • eu gosto da música

  • ah que saudades dos minha adolescencia, as músicas eram incríveis.

  • B. J. Thomas A great singer!

  • Creio que ele era um filho bastardo

  • QUE SAUDADES DA PRIMEIRA VERSÃO DA NOVELA *SELVA DE PEDRA*, COM CUOCO E REGINA. ESSA MÚSICA TOCAVA DIRETO.

  • In that crazy world of TV, via the Mike DouglasTV show, Irene and I really got to know B.J. My wife, Irene, loved him. I respected him and truly appreciated his wonderful talent.. and songs. Last time we saw him we were supposed to go out to dinner. That didn't happen. Sad. He was too far gone. We never loved him less, just sad. But oh, how we truly loved him and his music. What a wonderful, true person. Oh, and what hits he had that will be forever be remembered. GOD BLESS YOU B.J.

  • @12reflect what do you mean "too far gone"?

  • @12reflect what do you mean "too far gone"?

  • @12reflect what do you mean "too far gone"?

    

  • @12reflect I'm curious as to what you mean by "too far gone"???

  • @12reflect His official website makes no such claim, and his "death" isn't listed anywhere, including IMdb. I looked after seeing your surprising post and see nothing about it at all. If you posted this 3 months ago, it would be mentioned long before now.

  • @12reflect BJ Thomas is still very much alive, and is going to tour this spring. I contacted his official website's host about your claim.

  • Desde Guatemala, long live BJ Thomas, lo maximo!

  • geeee ... he is a lot younger in this video

  • my husband and i have known bj for many years in houston. my husband is a musician(he is 64, i am 63). our best friend(sax player, also from houston)was married to his sister for awhile-she is such a sweetheart and looks alot like bj so beautiful too, inside and out. thanks soso much for posting this beautiful song by bj!!!!

  • I've enjoyed B.J. every since the 60's when it was "B.J. Thomas and the Triumphs" playing in the College parking lot.This song is specal. If you listen closely you'll hear Dwane Eddy on guitar, The Ronnets, and the Beach Boys. It must have been a fun song to record, and the story in it is touching.

  • greatest lullaby tribute to mothers ever

  • O tempo passa e não volta + só ficam recordações inesquecíveis,PARABENSSS......­..

  • wowwwwwwwwwwww i still remember the oldies days back home in our cattle ranch in Brazil dating my first sweetheart and listening to this song. lovely song, thanks B.J Thomas

  • maravilhosa essa música,cara emociona,show de bola.

    this wonderful music, man moves, show the ball.

  • the beach boys did the vocals

  • THE BEACH BOYS DO BACK GROUND ON THIS SONG ...LISTEN TOWARD THE END 

  • my mom was 17 and alone when i was born that was back in 62 i rarely ever hear this song but when i do i call her and tell her i love her right after i wipe my eyes

  • @handyman7748 your mom must have done alot right to raise such a respectful, loving son. Thanks for sharing

  • @handyman7748 your mom must have done alot right to raise such a respectful, loving son. Thanks for sharing

  • Ahh.....the memories

  • Simply wonderful! B.J. has such a signature, unmistakable voice.

  • Não importa há quanto tempo essa música foi composta. Podem passar cem anos e ela continuará a tocar corações de uma forma mágica e sublime.

  • A música é linda, a letra é linda, a voz é linda, ele é lindo, que combinação fantástica!

    The tune, the lyrics, the voice are beautiful, he looks sooo good, what a perfect

    fantastic combination!

  • When I was a child, my father used to hear this song almost everyday. He never learned english, but still listen to it anyway. Now, approximately 10 years later, I can speak english and this was the first time I listen to this song by myself. I'm crying like if I was the little baby on the song.

  • The best version has the Beach Boys harmonizing with the chorus.

  • AMOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I love this music!!!

  • assisti ao show do BJ Thomas em Jaguariuna - na Red Eventos

    simplesmente The Best!!!

  • Beautiful .......

  • Many people think that this is a love song about between a couple (man and woman / or/ whatever), but, when I read the lines, I understood. It's a story about a girl who, at her 16's had a baby. And she was alone in the world and didn't know what to do. So, to make her child to sleep, she sang songs of rock'n'roll lullaby. But even so, a very very beautiful song. For sure, it will last forever and ever. All of my congratulations for the author.

  • @Bleigans I grew up on this and a lot oldies so there was no mistaken what the lyrics were. Not even sure how anyone could mistaken it as a love song of that type.

  • my parents use play play this song to get me to sleep as a baby 25 years ago now i sing this song to get my kids to sleep. Its amazing how one song can impact your life I love you mom and dad

  • This is for all f the teen Mother's--if you lost friends and family because of this---SHAME on them. Children are God's gift and are so precious!

  • Rock and Roll Lullaby foi o 1º disco da minha vida !!...um compacto simples que ganhei juntamente com a minha 1ª eletrola da marca Delta mod. 8000 qdo. eu tinha onze anos em 1972 !!...o disco e a eletrola já não existem mais,mas...as boas recordações daquela época ficaram eternamente em minha mente...

  • This song was always my mom's all-time favorite B.J. Thomas song.

  • JUST BEAUTIFUL LOVE THIS GUY

  • maravilha que saudade dos meus 20 anos

  • maravilha que saudade dos meus 20 anos

  • ESSA MÚSICA É TUDO DE BOM E MAIS UM POUCO LINDA MESMO...ADOOOOOOOORO.

  • Beautiful song. TY for sharing.

  • ~~~AWESOME~~~

  • awww <333

  • muito linda essas musicas com esses instrumentos maravilhosos q não se usam mais.

  • Recordar é viver. Parabéns pelo vídeo postado. Você tem bom gosto.

  • For a moment...after watching these clips of him when he is around 40 or so...I seen it in BJ last week live...it was great...I wondered what would motivate him to tour at 68...but it was him the guy u see here...just a bit shady but the same

  • i saw BJT in Sydney just a few days ago, Brilliant.

  • God had to give him that voice because there's no way you can get something like that from all the practice in the world. I've never heard a bad note out of BJ's mouth.

  • I'm in my mid-fifties now but this song sounds as fresh as when I first heard it as a teenager in the 1970s and will probably be the same when I turn 100 and beyond!! If only today's music was also made to to touch the heart and soul and last forever!! Long live Billy J Thomas!

  • Nice amo esta musica

  • Tempo Que era feliz não sabia tempos que nõa voltamais

  • I LOVE THIS SONG, WHEN I HEAR IT, IT MAKES ME THINK OF ELVIS PRESLEY AND HIS MOTHER.

  • é 10

  • MEU DEUS ALÉM DESSA MÚSICA SER LINDA, EU NÃO IMAGINAVA QUE B J THOMAS FOSSE TÃO BELO DESSE JEITO, SINCERAMENTE A BELEZA DELE É HIPNOTIZANTE, É UMA MISTURA DE JIM MORRISON COM GINO VANELLI, UM DOS HOMENS MAIS BELOS QUE EU JÁ VI E CANTA MUITO!

    MARINÊS TOLOI

  • saudades!!!!!

  • @xandy140 Wow that is a great memory!

  • I saw BJ in concert around the late 60's or early 70's. Got his autograph and a kiss from BJ. Thrilled me to the moon!!!! He was such a nice guy. Met his sweet brother, as well. A little slow I think, but looked a lot like BJ. I thought it was so cool to have his brother with him. Thanks for reminding me of nice days and pleasant memories.

  • que lindaaaaaaaaaa que saudadesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Que saudadessssssssssssssss.......­.lindaaaaa a musica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • To dance together!

    Para dançar junto!

  • Wow! Look at how YOUNG he was! Such a beautiful voice...seemingly, flawless. I absolutely adore it.

  • Nossa que SADADES !!!

  • 17 people are tone deaf.

  • I just discovered BJ is coming to Australia..unreal...I hope he can last the distance...good one BJ!

  • This is another song that makes me think of long ago. My husband and I started our family a little ahead of schedule while he was going to college on the GI Bill after Vietnam and I was working part-time to make ends meet. My husband would stay with our daughter while I worked and this was one of the songs he used to sing to her that would always calm and sooth her.

  • I saw B.J. last month in Green Bay. He hasn't lost anything. Great Job!!!!!!!

  • Imagino se a Regina Duarte e o Francisco Cuoco ainda ouvem esse sucesso de vez em quando....!

  • Parabéns pela postagem e... OBRIGADO!

    Muito bom recordar aquilo que vivemos e sabíamos que éramos felizes....

  • One of my favorite songs by him, awesome!!! brings back so many good memories.

  • saudades mil.

  • Lindo!

  • One of the best singers ever.

  • One of the best of the 60s. He was def, def, def, definitely a favorite of mine.

  • One of the best of the 60s

  • one of my absolute favorite singers...what a GREAT voice!! it's so wonderful to hear this (and his other songs)...and what a great looking man!

  • does anyone noticed that bj looks like tom welling ?? or it's just me jeje or maybe his older brother, i don't know but at least to me they are like twins with 40 years between them jaja

  • @pofetes Tom Welling looks like BJ Thomas, not the other way around.

  • does anyone noticed that bj looks like tom welling father?? or it's just me jeje

  • does anyone notice that bj looks like tom welling father?? or it's just me jeje

  • memories, memories, very memories

  • This is a wonderful song.

    It sure brings back memories.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • This is one good song! And Thomas had a gorgeous head of hair.

  • Background vocals: Darlene Love, Fanita James, Jean King (Blossoms), Dave Sommerville, Ron Hicklin, Tom Bahler, and Gene Morford 

  • This should be my oldest daughter Rachel's all time favorite song. I'm sure she identifies!

  • Original backup is beach boys  guitar was duane eddy

  • @RadioK107 I'm a big Eddy fan, Radio. This vid really needed his guitar.

  • Sang this to my daughter as a youngster,, lots of memories,,

  • I heard the high voice is one of the 50s doo wop guys. forget which one..

  • I didn't become a mother until I was in my mid-30s, but I remembered this song from my teen years and often sang it to my babies who were only 19 months apart. The song really touched me because I was abandoned by my husband before the youngest child was born, and I was often scared because times were often very hard and lonely.

  • @southernsugar59 That's a very touching story.I hope things are a whole lot better for you now.

  • Realmente essa musica foi uma grande sucesso em 1972 graças a mais uma "lavagem celebral"da Rede Globo chamada Selva de Pedra.

  • This has memories 2

  • Comment removed

  • @onemikehart so what you're saying is that there are no Beach Boys singing background vocals on this tune? I'd to see the proof of your information. you may ask for my proof, well I know what the beach boys sound like, and I know when I hear them, so hey you continue giving false facts.

  • Comment removed

  • @denniswilsonfan Well I've heard the evidence in detail that they weren't in fact doing the background vocals. Having said that, I do recall the evening a Toronto radio station first played this, decades ago now. I have some vague but definitely happened memory of the DJ saying something about the BB's just before he spun the record. Be nice to hear it from the horses mouth... BJ Thomas. He'd probably be more accessible than any of the BB's.

  • Lindddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS SONG..... ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVES FROM B.J. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!!!

  • My Mother Loved this song, thanks

    Mitch

  • I so love this song and oh my goodness, B.J. was (and still is) so unbelievably beautiful.

  • MARAVILHOSO... REGINA DUARTE, FRANCISCO CUOCO, DINA STAF, TODOS NO AUGE DA BELEZA, JUVENTUDE E TALENTO. SAUDADE, INCLUSIVE DE JANETE CLAIR, QUE COMO POUCOS SOUBE ESCREVER TÃO BEM NOVELAS BRASILEIRAS

  • haha thats funny. good prank little guy

  • This takes me back, I love it, thanks!

  • @Meekseek Me too reminds me of my teenage years.

  • one of my favorite song. I had my children very young and this was our song.:)

  • One of the BEST and still is. Love B.J. Thomas.

  • Que lindo!Viajei no tempo agora,pois na epoca de Selva de Pedra eu devia ter uns 11,12 anos e achava a voz dele maravilhosa!Agora vejo que ele era muito bonito tambem.Que saudades daquele tempo que nao volta mais.Acho que o mundo era mais puro,sei la...

  • ow q saudades tras esta musica

  • BJ IS AWSOME ! I LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC ALL THE TIME-- AT HOME, IN MY CAR AND ON MY IPOD.  WONDERFUL !

  • Essa musica lembra dos meus 13,14 e 15 anos, o primeiro e único amor o primeiro beijo, os matinês dos clubes nos domingos, as festas na casa dos amigos regado a sucos e refrigerantes, velhos e bom tempos. Simplesmente linda musica.

  • Isabel Cristina de Matos, primeira namorada...Você foi morar com Deus, te levarei para sempre comigo, me lembro da ultima vez que encontramos, seu sorriso doce a forma angelical, seguimos caminhos diferentes. "Vida" onde estiver em pensamento sempre te chamarei assim.

    Douglas.

  • My Mom was 17 when she had me and Dad was in the military. Always think of her when I hear it. I have sang it as bedtime songs to my children and grandchildren. Thanks for posting.

  • @MrCherchelafemme My niece was just two weeks short of her 17th birthday when her first daughter was born. She's fortunate enough to have her boyfriend with her and they have had another little girl since then. Though they're doing well times can be tough. They still have each other though and I wish them well as I listen to this song.

  • what a heartbreakingly gorgeous voice - and man.

  • me and my wife.

  • Man were the ladies hot back then yum yum

  • this guy reminds me of dan scott....from one tree hill lol

    but nice singing anyhow

  • @Paige9 thats funny cuz i just watched the episode where dan scott killed keith scott... and i thought of this song... kinda ironic. It was so sad this was the first song that popped into my head

  • I was so honored to be sitting front and center recently to hear BJ sing again. All these years laer, our hometown boy still has it

  • Guitarist on this is is the legendary Duane Eddy!

  • rs...morria sem saber polyjr! de qualquer forma valeu a informação

  • I love this song. Thanks for sharing this live version with us.

  • Beautiful, timeless!

  • this is my favorite BJ song, and he can still sing it like he did on the record, but sorry just never will be the same without the Beach Boys on backing vocals.

  • @denniswilsonfan Apparently it's not them doing the background vocals. Pity no one has the liner notes to confirm this.

  • @JoeGancher wish I still had the link to that website that talked about all the songs the Beach Boys did backing vocals on. it was on my old computer that is in some refab shop or been sold lol. I suppose I could ask my friend Al Jardine he might know.

  • Comment removed

  • Great song by one of the best singers of the 60's and 70's! Hooked on a Feeling and Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head are also great BJ Thomas songs.
