Bill & Doree Post - Sixteen Reasons (Why I Love You).

Music at it's BEST, the proof is in the pudding! Sadly, Doree died of stomach cancer in 1961. Wonderful people that made a big impact on many people, this goes out to Doree, this one's for you!

PS I'm trying to find a way for Bill to see and hear this video. It sounds like he doesn't have this one himself. I told him of the many, many viewings of Connie Steven's version. He was amazed. I wanted to show him but it has been removed.

I also have by Bill & Doree Valley High & I'll Never Graduate From You, both are very pretty songs also. Let me know if you want me to post them?

Thanks for this! I was about 11 years old when I knew Bill Post. We went to church at a tiny little country church outside of Arkansas City, Kansas. I might have been young but I remember. I played Connie Steven's rendition over and over. Thanks again!!

If you contact the number that ulbobo posted, they have a cd with a lot of his folk songs on it, and they can set up a time for you to go see the post musical homestead.

I learned something tonight. I did not know that Bill and Doree Post did this song or the other one on your website. Here in OKC they had t 2 records which made the local survey of our top 40 radio station, WHEN HE WAS IN HIS TEENS in 1959 on Crest Records and in 1961 HOMING PIGEON on DJB Records. Good Post (No pun intended on that)

I just got off the phone with my Uncle Bill! (Bill Post) He told me he has no ache or pain in his 91 year old body. I was so very happy to talk to him, I had not been able to find a phone number or address for him. He moved back to his Family Farm Home with his son Johnny and his family. He seems to be enjoying his golden years and has a good life. I wish everyone knew that he was still kicking.

Truly, this has to be one of the most TREASURED LOVE SONG which could transcend any generations. Thx, Ed.

Rhonda818181--you'll be pleased to know Bill Post is still a gentle and kind man with a ready smile and a sharp mind and wit. I was surprised when mom told me he had returned to Ark City. Until very recently he lived and had a museum of his memorabila (sp). out west of town on the Post farm.

Reply to denverpecan: I rather doubt he would remember me. I was just a kid and he was an adult. But by all means you could let him know that even before I found this on Youtube, many times since I knew him, I have thought about him and wondered where and how he was. He was such a gentle, kind man, I never forgot. Thanks for visiting this kind man and for responding to my comment.
