@jimmyhd1969 It seems that summer of 1963 was special for more than just the two of us. The music says it all for me, and I'm sure it said it all for your folks. Thank you for commenting on my post.

@mrtubesteak2 Interesting about the date you mentioned. My folks had their first date on July 4, 1963 in Wildwood, NJ. It was a wonderful summer for them!

The master tape was wrapped 'round a spool. Her name was actually Jackie Ward. She was 21, when she recorded this. Her voice was made to sound like a 16-year-old.

After almost 50 years, this song still gives me goosebumps!!! I was only 10 when this song came out and I was a young and innocent young boy who loved the surf music. Now all these decades later, I like to hear songs like Robin's unforgettable classic and remember back to those days of carefree times of fun with my family and friends and just wish for one moment that I could go back and be that young boy again. Oh well, listening to this beautiful song is the next best thing. Thanks Robin!!

this song came out in late '63 I believe. I was 11 and that summer I had a crush
on this girl Paula. We had a great innocent time.

Ronny and the Daytonas-I'll Think of Summerby garageband6647,976 views
July 4 1963 I went to a beach party and the girl I was interested in wasn't interested in me. I was bummed, so I got a buddy to give me a ride home. Just before I closed the car door, another girl--Marla--ran up and told me to slide over. I did and she got in and we talked all the way to my place. She opened the door, got out and waited until I got out before she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. We dated the rest of the summer until she had to go back home. A Wonderful Summer it was!

@mrtubesteak2 Good story about your wonderful summer, We all had that someone who made it wonderful. That what music was back then sharing or breaking up either way it was good.
