Ppl will think I'm daft, but I'll tell you why this tune has sentimental memories for me. I was 8 years old at the time, and I was sitting on dad's lap whilst mum got the grit out of my knees after I'd fallen off my bike. That was when I first heard it on the radio. Dad died 23rd December 1995 (which is why I hate Christmas), and Mum died on 22nd September 2006.

As an on-air personality in '68-'69 in the Central Highlands, I've long since come to realize that much of the music of the time was perhaps some of the best our generation (or any generation) had to offer... and, for many of us. 40 yrs later, we have bitter sweet memories for precisely the reason you mention. Who knows how many of our brothers went out & never came back? After hearing a song? Or, reading a letter from home? Oh, well... Welcome Home, Brother!

I bought an album in Frankfurt in 71 that had this on it. In fact that's why I bought it.

Spring of '68, I was 21 y/o, & lived to hear this song on the radio. I own 2 copies of the 45 & treasure them. A Masterpiece. Wolfszky9

Again, Im one who searched for this unique sound I heard when I was around 6 to 10 years old. Adventually traced a version of this by Tony Hatch about 15 years ago, but I felt it wasnt quite the same as I remember when I was a child. Thanks to You Tube, I traced this 'Original' track and remember this was the one I remembered some 35 od years ago.

For the past several years I've been playing a beautiful melodic instrumental in my head that I remember from my childhood but had no idea who the artist was or the name. I was searching the songs of Mauriat,Percy Faith, Mantovani,etc. to no avail. Then I got Whitburn's book Top Pop Singles and started looking page by page at all the instrumental songs that I wasn't familiar with and checked them out here on You Tube. Well my long search finally ended here tonight(with tears in my eyes) Thanks!!

Yes it really did portray a rather more happier time in the World. Be thankful we have the technology to access such beautiful music.

I have the french words translated by a Quebecer. Be glad to share. nhillier@telus.net

Like almost every gorgeous French song ever written, this song's English translation lost the original's beauty. It ISN'T called "Soul Coaxing", the actual title is "Cuddling Soul" and the French lyrics are utterly exquisite.

If anyone wants the correct translation, drop me a private message and I will give them to you.
