What a voice this guy had. I think he would have been at Sinatra level had he lived.

@spectrum99122 He is still very much alive and in fact has his own YouTube channel -- JerryKellerOfficial

Thank YOU for making that summer so much better for us.

This song added to the fun during the summer vacation of 1959 and into the early 60s' summer vacations. Thanks for the memories.

@amanda2001ism East Rockaway here, we'd hang at the neighborhood pool and hear this over the loudspeaker, the girls would dance in the sand but I had 2 left feet, still do class of 63.

I Was A Teenager Growing Up In The Late 50's And Early 60s On Long Island N.Y.and listening to it on wins 1010 and wmca 570 and thought it sounded like Bobby Rydel

This is one of those songs that Oldies stations in the '70s and '80s never played, like "Summertime, Summertime" by Jays with Jamie. I always loved this. I wish I had bought it.

@brownindian17 You miss your youth? I want to cry when I hear this song, Life seemed like a wonderful paradise then, full of wondement and adventure. Everything seemed like a new and exciting experience and just thinking of girls was an enchantment. However now ,experiences are all mundane reruns. Sorry, I forget myself....it must be the caffeine........you think????
