  • I am Guyanese and my family loves this song. Apparently there is some family connection that we have with you. We absolutely love this song and when we have family get togethers we always sing it as a group and it has become very special to us. I just heard the original for the first time today and makes me love the song even more.

  • @Josephpgonsalves Thanks...good to hear from you...and to know you and your family have embraced this song!...Blessings to you all...................!

  • Thank you so much for posting this. My Dad used to sing this song to me when I was little and I never knew who wrote it, so now I'm glad I know. I was very close to my daddy and I could still hear him singing this to me and calling me and my sisters his "Pretty browns"

    the kinds of responses that help me to go on with my work as an artist. Thanks

  • I'm really delighted to hear this song again. I heard it once (yes, just once!) on a CBC program in 1979 or 1980, and have never forgotten it.

  • This album was the first piece of vinyl I ever owned. Stemming from my absent fathers record collection, I used to sit by my record player hoping one day my father would sing this song to me. Although my father never shared the same dream it still helped me through the bad times. So I thought I would continue to share this video in hopes to inspire fatherless children to seek music to fill the voids in their hearts. Chi Meegwetch David Campbell!

  • Really...wow...Dave is an old time friend of my brothers...I love this song and my sister who is a singer sing this very well~ thank you Laurie...He lives in B.C. now
