VinylNostalgia, I will see nedman's jillion and raise him a gazillion. This is my all-time favorite Olympics song, and I was dying for somebody to post it. Infectious beat, raspy, muddy vocals -- pure 1963, my favorite year for music -- that little interlude between Elvis and The Beatles. Thanks for posting. This one goes straight to favorites.

OK people, I have a gazillion thanks from speedy. Do I hear a quadruple megazillion? ;D

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this record, it's a great tune that you don't hear very often.

[VinylNostalgia]

Glad you liked it. And thank you...I don't recall ever being thanked a jillion times before. It's usually only a lousy million times! :D

American Beach in NE Florida Summer bus trips from Waycross, GA and dancing in the youth center. Life seem wonderful then.
