I always remember the cute girl who lived a block from Del Campo and how for hours we played her records of Elton up in her room the day we met.
If only I could remember her name.

I need a new turntable...so I can put my albums to use again. Save me from having to go far to get online...and TRY to listen. I'm not at home...so it's not easy to enjoy the songs right now. The songs from the movie...I love them ALL!!!!

This album informed most of 1971 for me. It was the beginning of my future marriage and motherhood and I can't help but feel a tug of the heart when I hear it.

sometimes true beauty comes from the most unexpected places, Like a sweet little unassuming film that people remember 40 years later..

There was a sequel to this film. Paul has been removed from the relaionship by his father and is at university. In the summer break he goes to France to find Michelle again. Can anyone name the film? I saw it in the same session as "Rooster Cogburn" which was a sequel to "True Grit"

They also used this in an episode of The Wonder Years and it was perfect. Elton John can be a great songwriter

LOL : "3 Dislikes"? Man I am so glad those 3 aren't neighbors of mine.



Wow! I haven't heard this piece of music in years. I'm 56 and took my first real girl friend to see the movie when it came out in 1971. I wore out the LP and had to buy a second copy. This stirs many memories and takes me back to the early 70's - the end of high school was in sight and remember the fear of what I was going to do after HS and that I wouldn't see most of my HS friends once I graduated.Good times and sad times. I don't mnid saying that this song still can bring a tear.

I first heard this song briefly in an episode of "The Wonder Years". It was a scene between Kevin and Winnie when they were still innocent twelve year olds but feelings more than friendship for eachother. Then I heard Elton John's glorious voice sing the line, "Yes it's funny how young lovers start as friends." I still love that show for so many reasons, but their use of the most perfect songs to fit the right moments is probably one of my top reasons. Thanks so much for posting.
