Although I was not born when this came out, by hearing this, it does take a person back to a gentler time. :) Even an Gen X person like me can really appreciate music like this. I love it! :D

@AlbieGray Nice to here that "younger" people like you are interested in this older but timeless music. thanks for listening.

lI thin it was 1956. My mother only allowed us to have one half slice of bacon because it was 'so expensive' and oh I loved hot oatmeal with margarine and plenty of sugar for breakfast. It was my 3rd grade and I had a classic yellow raincoat and rusty red lunchbox. My mothers best friend also had a boy my age and she had a green Studebaker..

Oh the memories a song can bring.

@xxyc21 Thanks for sharing that :)

This reminds me of those wonderful summer time Sundays on Jones Beach, Long Island in the 50's with Mom, Dad, brother and sister before we all grew up and went our separate ways.

Don't go to that beach anymore....not my kind of crowd, hate Rap...and oh the tatoo's some look like Summo wrestlers....yikes. Thanks for uploading !

@LMHS63 Your welcome, and I know what you're saying.

Sounds good now I am almost 65, but that was when I was in the 3rd grade in 1956. Not a good idea to be drunk from mother's cooking at breakfast when you are only 8. LOL

@larryglass61 From ROGHARM age 11 in 1956 agree 100000%. heard the song on NBC RADIO NETWORK on its program called MONITOR all summer. Will never forget agree with LMHS63 1000000%.

@xxyc21 Try putting fresh cream and a drop of whiskey in your porridge on colder days as a little treat.

Porridge =oatmeal.

This is one of the two first songs I remember as a child. I always loved this song....great arrangement. As a 4/5 year old I used to hang be at my grandparent's house a lot. They had one of the large cabinet hi fidelity combination of radio and record player. I used to play 78rpm records all the time.......and this is one of my first musical favorites. My other favorite from that time was Rusty Draper's version of The Shifting Whispering Sands - 1955.....check it out.

@Rivercitygirl89 I agree with you. This present generation cannot be blamed. It is the hippies who raised or influenced us that should be blamed. They ruined the whole world especially the west. Those were tough time, and blacks did have problems. However civil rights has doen nothing for them. Welfare and so called equality have ruined them and further degraded them. They have also regressed and ae ruining western society. I do not feel sorry for them at all now and blame them and the libs.

@calihartley2010 You may have a point there, but you can't blame us kids for the system our parents created! Schools are more integrated because they thought it would be best. Maybe it's not. I've seen it work in Canada, but I've heard horror stories about it in the US. Either way, we have progressed. From what I remember hearing about back in your day, black people had to use separate bathrooms than white people. When I first heard that when I was a child I thought it was completely absurd!

[Rivercitygirl89]

This song is beautiful. I must say that I've never seen so many decent comments on a youtube video before.The memories written below seem lovely. Those were some great times, yes, and things were simple. Though people old now might think that those were "better days," we all know that there were tough times too. Kids today might be completely different, but can you blame us? You guys changed the world, and that changed us.

I'm 19 years old, and I never said I wanted the milkman to stop coming.

oh, puleeze. you are boring me.

[calihartley2010]

@rgoddess1 wow you sound like someone with no brains. Please take a minute to look around and tell me if the world is good now. Then talk, You are the one that is absurd and ignorant.

[rgoddess1]

@calihartley2010 Are you some sort of bigot?  You sound like some one who is not well educated. You probably didn't finish High School. I haven't heard such absurd & ignorant comments in awhile. It is pathetic.
