Oh, Whitney, with your indescribable beauty, pure class and voice of an angel....you set the bar so high no one will ever come close to you. You must be leading Heaven's choir. Rest in the loving arms of your Lord and Saviour. We will always love you.

Ms Etta, Thank you for all the years of your wonderful music, filled with such love and emotion. I can imagine the choir with you in it! Rest well, angel, in the arms of God. We will see you on the other side.

And you know who you are!!

Reminds me of someone I still love very much. Both the video and lyrics are so very, very touching.

Fantastic! This is the original and not a remake. Have played it many times since I found it. Thanks for the post!!

@kissed61 "deadlines and commitments"...lyrics in "Against The Wind".

Absolutely precious! Tak sa mycket!!

My dad was died as a result of injuries received in a fall in this tunnel, Water Tunnel #3 in NYC 1973. God bless the tunnel men who are a head above and a breed apart from every other man in the world.

Absolute perfection!! Thanks for the post!! The Reverend still has it and he has one more great band!! Thankful to have lived when these songs were brand new. In 45 years the songs out now will NOT be around like these classics. LOVE IT!!!

What an angel! Too cute for anybody!! You are a tremendous Dad!! :-)

Thanks for the post! Great times and great music. The soul music from the 60's was the absolute best. I'm thankful to have lived and been in my teens during that time, when this good music was all over the radio. We'll never see (or hear) anything like it again. "Come and Get These Memories"!!

Ah, how beautiful! When we had fantastic music with real musicians and singers who had real talent. This was always a favorite by the Platters. Takes me back to happier times. Thanks so much for the post!

What a performance by these great music heavyweights! Miss Etta, you are one kick ass woman. You with your Roots Band in Bringin' Down The House is a classic DVD. Play on!!

Thanks so much for this! Sure takes me back to better music times. I am grateful to have been around when this song was out and everybody had the record, everybody played it and we all loved it.

Thanks Toby!! Everytime I watch this I have even more pride in our great country! Glad to know the planes fly in all directions if people don't like it here. God Bless Our American Soldiers...all over the world. I'm so proud of them and proud to be an American! Daughter of a US Navy Seebee i...

WOW! Thanks so much for posting this memorable footage from my favorite cruise ship, the incomparable S/S Norway! I was a travel agent for 18 years and got to sail on her 9 times. There will never be another ship with the charm and class of the Great Blue Lady. R.I.P.

There will never be another one like you, Hoss. What a beautiful song...and what a beautiful man.

@LannyCalifornia Too good!! We have the perfect place here in Tennessee for it!! Whoop whoop!!

@jansparrows Troy Seals and Donnie Fritts wrote this song. Waylon Jennings had a big hit with it.

Great to have this on YouTube! Too bad we will never hear music like this anymore, unless we have a good collection. What great memories of a better time and place.
