First Nashville megahit. First major hit for a tune and artist not on a major label.
Please patronize my website http://songbaron.wordpress.com Where I will explain what I am doing with these songs PLUS my own song "When You're Growing Old."

Essa é a musica que tocava quando minha mãe nasceu, bendito seja Francis Craig!!!

One of the most perfect records ever made. The reasoning behind its protracted run at the top of the charts should be obvious. It has all of the elements of a superb single. Well written, well executed, well produced and with no small amount of personality and drama. Love it!!!

To all you pro wrestling fans out there (like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Josip Nikolai Peruzovic came into the world (October 14, 1947). Peruzovic would become known as Bepo Mongol and really become famous as Nicolai Volkoff.

I really like Francis Craig, Near You, We're, (my husband, Bill and I) are in our 80's and appreciate the music of the 40's and 50's. We just celebrated our 66th wedding anniversary so this type of music is OUR kind of music. To be honest we like nearly all kinds. It seems there is more romance in the earlier music. Thank you for putting this one on for us to enjoy.
