I remember this pre-pop song all too well by the Morgan Bros. The Morgan Brothers aren't listed as of yet, their the ones that added lyrics to this song and turned it around and went top 5 with it back before Elvis hit a home run for rock and roll. Thx4 postin'

Welk's show was terrific. His style was very light...with the musicians he had he could have done much meatier, jazzier stuff, more like Stan Kenton or Buddy Rich, but that was just notr bhis style. His was basically a dance band.

What I liked about Lawrence Welk is it was a good clean show that everyone could watch..with a variety of GOOD MUSIC.not trash. Yes his band had a kind of laid back style but played alot of different kinds of music...But back then the music was still based on good old classics. Nothing can beat those. So much of todays music is crap.And along with the music.morals have gone down the tube.Less respect of others and more greed..which has gotten this country in trouble..

@heyboy56 Hi. Giving your opinion as fact to others isn't education - absorbing and critically assessing the views of others is a more valuable strategy. The LW show did all the thing you say but you must accept that the true innovations in 40's -50's music did not result from the musical culture exhibited by LW ,which while technically excellent , is clearly conservative. I haven't seen any snobbery in the previous comments only a difference in perspective which is allowable in free debate.

When I was a kid taking accordion lessons, the Lawrence Welk show inspired me to go practice.

A little education here: At this time most people only had radio & if lucky, TV. 1 or 2 TV stations mostly. What this show did single-handedly was present a variety of musical types every week, exposing a large audience to Pop, Big Band, & Orchestral music when there was no internet, no cable, no stereo broadcasts on radio much less TV, and no live venues in large swaths of the U.S. What they did week in and out was amazing in that context. BTW, real music is defined by the listener, not snobs.

Well, I wish I lived in those days when they still showed some accordion on television :)
