Brings memories flooding back. A very sweet time.

@staycoolfool There is nothing more valuable than your memories

[imthedorf1964]

So who originally sang this song in 1951?

[markalson1938]

@imthedorf1964 Tommy Edwards recorded this song in 1951. It was hia first charted hit. Then after he re-recorded "It's All In The Game" and was such a hugh hit in 1958, he re-recorded this song and other one such as "Please Mr Sun" again. The did alright but not near as well as "It's All In The Game".

This to me is the best version of them all. Thank you so much for uploading this!

[markalson1938]

@faeryquene Your very welcome, this Tommy's recording of this song always had special meaning for me. A very special girl at the time who lived on the side of a Mountain in Morgantown WV tried to teach me to dance to it.

[markalson1938]

@PhillyC187 This was also my favorited Edwards song. way back in 1959 a girl trird to teach me to dance to this song. That was a lost cause I still have two left feet. But the song I never fotgot.

Fantastic Tommy Edwards!

His Music was smooth!

Mr Sun, as a favorite, It's all in the Game! I have to say was also a big favorite!

This one was also a GREAT one

@markalson1938  I figure that`s not so sad making it to well inside the top 40 back in `58. Don`t forget Billboards rankings were based on record sales and us teeners weren`t buying all the records in `58. The official top 40 charts came from radio stations back when. We teeners phoned in &requested or voted for our top 3 songs & that`s why Sugar Plum (ike Clanton) peaked at no.2 here on Vancouvers CFUN radio. Reason I say that is cause it peaked at no. 95 on theirs(sad). THX

I love Tommy, but I just realized, he almost sounds like what Tiger Woods would sound like if he could sing.

True class

Another of those great haunting songs from the 50's. Probably one of the first records to tell the story of an older man falling in love with a younger girl.. Yes, it's true. Listen to the words, the hidden meaning is in there . Love it. Love has no age barriers. (Been there, done that and certainly got the t shirt! If you love him - go get him. Ignore the "number!") Message for Flakeyokie64...it's available on CD now!
