Beautiful voices, no screaming, no garish costumes, no creepy makeup, just very nice normal people with beautiful voices and great stories to tell with the lyrics, Lord I miss those days.
I went to school in the 70s with kids who swore by KISS. I had NO use for them.
Re: "just very nice normal people." Back then TV and radio producers and censors vetted potential performers to be sure they were normal. All that's gone.
Now the performers are vetted to ensure they are as far from normal as one getsgets!
Born FEB 1950. I miss those days because they made sense. Today, nothing does: values, priorities, nothing. - David Lyga
Never to return.
I'm 71 years old. We didn't have a pot to pee in we were so poor. But those days were the best I ever lived.
Hi Donna
"or a window to pour it out."
❤
where did you go?
Absolutely!!
The real blessing is that we grew up in the 60’s and we are still here enjoying the music!
Boomer here….you’re so right! I’m truly blessed.
Ya damned right, baby.
..hear hear!
77 and still looking down at the grass.
Turning 30 this year and all I can say is I envy you folks.
Beautiful times, Beautiful people, Beautiful music. Oh, how I miss my childhood in the 60'S. ❤❤❤
Agree 100 percent!
Truth be told🎉❤😂😅😊
Me tooo....
I feel your pain, my brother.
The summer this came out, I was 9 going on 10. I now realize how much influence these ages and great songs had on my life.
All of us who grew up in the 60s are the luckiest people on the planet. To have grown up listening to gems like this one, is a true blessing.
So true
You got it. My friend!
Your so right on. I grew up as a teen in the 60s
Not so lucky if you had to go to Vietnam.
@@marcschneider4845 it was the best of times and my best. You had to be there to enjoy all the fun
I'm 71 and would sure like to go back to that sun shine so long ago.
I’m seventy and I wouldn’t want to go back. I don’t want to go back to being told even though you paid your taxes your children have to go to segregated schools using subpar books and supplies and this is the humiliation, your children have to walk to school even though your taxes paid for the school bus, new books and schools your children were denied from using. I don’t want to go back, I want to move forward.
Me too
Sure, as long as I can go back with a ‘60 Chevy convertible with factory air.
@@gingercake0907 Yeah, unlike today where kids go to schools with armed security guards...have to pass thru medal dectors, teachers get sucker punched...learning has been dumbed down to what was 5th grade level in the 60s. Yeah, we sure improved with FORCED integration. Then we have the thousands of schools that were white... they were driven out. Literally driven out. I would dearly love to go back...to the 50s. Before all this nonsense stated.
Look for todays sunshine - it’s there if you look 🙏
And the girl singers in those days were all young and gorgeous. A wonderful time to be alive. These days SUCK......
I agree
I like how we can hear every word, no gimmicks no flashing lights, just pure singing.
Hate the flashing lights.
I would think a smile on her face would’ve went much much farther ! Ha !
And no nudity, just talent.
pure lip sync
@@paulvon2378 Of course, that's how they did TV back then. Even Elvis lip synced back then.
Glad i was there for 60,s music...the best
Sure was
I graduated from high school in 66, then they sent me to Vietnam for my senior trip. I didn't do much singing over there but I made it home.
❤️❤️❤️
@@BrownEyedGirl1367 I loved a brown eyed girl back then
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Thank you very much for your service.
The 1960's had some of the best music in the history of the music industry. It had depth, heart. The good Ole days when America WAS America.
unlikely any vietnamese person would agree that the sixties or america were good, more than likely they'd say both those things were bloody awful
@@markhenry6486 Life in North Korea was bloody awful even without a war.
@@humphreygruntwhistle3946 a little off topic. korea vs Vietnam, 60's vs 50's.
But I can not imagine things so bad that a war would not greatly increase the misery, pain, death, suffering, despair, etc so much that it would lead to your comment from anybody.
mark henry
@@markhenry6486 My bad. Don’t know why North Korea came out of my keyboard. Blame it on three hours of sleep last night. And I never claimed that war didn’t make a bad situation worse.
@@humphreygruntwhistle3946 🤝🤝🤝🤝
Growing in the 60s is something nobody can ever take away. I believe I 'm blessed to have experience that time period. Great music.🎵👍🎶😋
Agree 100%!
Feel the same way. Child in the 60s, teenager in the 70s and young adult in the 80s. Wouldn't trade the time I grew up in for all the money in the world!! What wonderful music I grew up with! And what wonderful memories I have today.
Man ,back when life was beautiful and easy
1966. The year I married my true love, Sharon. I remember this song fondly as part of a magical year.
Yes ! England Won The World Cup...on The Birthday !
The children of today ( 2022 ) have no idea what they missed - drive-inns - running around outside until it was dark ( no danger ) and most of all amazing music - life was wonderful ( 1944 )
@peetermuna4178: "children have no idea what they missed." Not true. All these who died and were reborn are showing themselves through "Karma" when they lived in those times. Most of this is "past life nostalgia".
Including you. Some of my Karma memories of music go back to just before 1900 when...
"I wish I was an apple on a tree, Wish I was an apple on a tree. If I was an apple on a tree, you'd come along and take a bite out of me."
I miss those days.
A large part of the word was living in terror in 1944.
"life was wonderful ( 1944 )" - you must be demented.
@@fritzsmith3296 would you explain yourself more, I find your comment very interesting. Thanks
My Mum was born in 1944 haha... September 9th!!
I’m 64 years young and loving it as much this song!
And isn’t she just gorgeous at Canadian gal I love her too bad. She’s a little old for me now.
This concept of being with someone for just 1 year has benefits. Having no attachments just the experience and memories.
Was born in 62, but I remember this song quite well. It was one of my mom’s favorite songs.
Born in 61. I remember also.
Woke up this morning with this tune in my head. Typed a few words in the google search box and...bingo, found it! I was born in '61 and this was on South African radio in the sixties. Well, it must have been, otherwise how does my brain suddenly come up with it? Just shows how magical our brain is but then again the song is magical, that's why!
One of the most underappreciated and underrated artists from the 60s. Her voice and songwriting talents were simply superb.
didnt know she wrote
@@trinidadapodaca7027 yup. The majority of the songs she recorded were her own or co-written.
Gale Garnett was an actress and author as well! Very talented woman.
I remember my sister telling me that she loved this song. She would stare out the this window and listen to this sing. She died 3 years ago when I heard this song the other day I couldn't help but help but think about my sister. I know she's ok.
@@trinidadapodaca7027 wiki says she wrote this song.
Alot of us roller skated to the 60s songs. Best song era in history by far. I was born 1955
Omg you just gave me a flashback to my rollerskating years!😂
Born in the 1961, to the days we thought would last forever!💕
Wow ! I Was Born In 1955...And England Won The World Cup On My 11th. Birthday...July, 30th.
@@user-ym4ox4kz9h beat W. Germany 6 to 3 if I remember correctly. Yank here born in 1955 who spent the summer in England then. The 60’s: great music and memories.
To the elderly lady who greeted me with a soft drink after cleaning her little yard. She used to have this song blaring out the window in her her living room. Thank you. Rest In Peace.
What a great comment/memory😂
@@michaelgreen3303 Thank you she was a dear woman.
I love it when people post their memories. Music is a big part of memory. I will also offer RIP to her memory. Thank you!
Sounds like the right kind
I think your comment is one of the sweetest things I have ever read
Some of the greatest songs and singers came out of the 1960's. Authentic and with deep meaning for life's lessons and for future generations to experience and enjoy years later.
I actually loved some of it. But it can’t jardinaiire📍touch the Special Spots like the 20’s and 30’s depression Erasmus the way you touch The Heartstrings forget your Dentures?
Correct
And real people to sing them.
I so agree! What has happened to our world?
Unfortunately THIS current generation has chosen instead to listen to a bunch of Marxist college professors shovel crap into their young skulls of mush by the bushel; and they eat it up like it was written on stone tablets. I remember a generation whose youth was just as arrogant -- the Baby Boomers who came into the world right after WWII and entered college 18 years later -- in the 1960s.
Here's the difference -- back then you had SOME politicians who genuinely put country first and party second, and eventually the cream would rise to the top. Our current crop of politicians are bereft of integrity and know less about the constitution they swore an oath to defend than I do, because public schools stopped teaching civics as a stand-alone curriculum over 50 years ago. The combination of gullible students and two corrupt political parties rife with politicians who think they're our _rulers,_ not _servants,_ has us tetering on the precipice.
I'd love nothing more than to subject Gen-Z to 10,000 hours of listening to 60s and 70s music and see if they don't come out of it feeling like perhaps they're not as woke as they think they are. Can't do much about the current crop of politicians if We The People aren't going to do _our_ job and elect competent people to office. No amount of 60s music gonna fix _that._
I was a musician in the 60s and sometimes our circles touched. The most lasting impression of Gale Zoë Garnett was her stunning intelligence. She had an absolutely brilliant mind. After music she went on to act (stage, TV, film) and became an author of plays, books and articles covering a wide range of topics. It was a privilege to have met her. This is one of the fundamental songs on my playlist.
She has a contralto voice?
@@k.pacificnw02134 Yes, I would say so. Contralto is the female voice in the lowest register. She was certainly very close. Karen Carpenter also got into contralto quite often - though without the edge we hear here.
God Bless New Zealand!
@@clarkewi hey, now my Kiwi friend - she was here in Canada @ 11! You only get 50% of the credit, eh?
@@coldlakealta4043 eh? She's as American as apple pie, ya'll get 33%.
I'll take the 60's to mid 70's music over anything else ever recorded !! The best time in the history of music !! Gale had an awesome voice !! 🧡🧡🧡
Before cRAP music was born, that which sucked the melody and fun out of pop. Oh I hate it so.
@@tabascocat5102 I agree, I hate it to !!
You got that right.
Just as we have a lot of ingrate punks attending college who think they have all the answers and we're a bunch of racist bumpkins, they think their "music" is legit, when we who had the privilege of growing up in the 60s and 70s know better. The proliferation of talent in those years was breathtaking and the messages they sent were cogent and spoke to a generation. Since music today is all pirated the only way performers can stay relevant is to go on tour and let autotune handle the voices and instruments and what comes out is rap -- with violent, misogynistic, gang-banger lyrics that don't speak of love, don't speak of peace, don't speak of aspiring to something better -- just criminality and treating other humans like a piece of meat. Small wonder we're circling the drain.
@@tabascocat5102
Augggh stop,,
I'm from 60/70s, had my moments of ,,,((hate))
So, so bad- i mean to hate is so bad
Music is awesome still, you have to search
Even during Vietnam and the Cold War, life was still easy and relaxed for the average kid. Just go outside after school and play games with all the neighbor kids. Just lay in a field and look at the clouds roll by. People were cool and happy. I miss it.
White people did not have FORCED integration....racistsBlac...roaming their streets. Civil Rights Act 1964 destroyed America.
Yes life was great for some of us. If you were lucky don’t you owe it to those who fought in the war and those who were oppressed to do something to achieve the type of happy world we had?
@Trousersnake Pliskin no one will miss 2020.
Maybe the professional dole bludgers but that's it.
wish I could forget the two years I spent in Nam ,,,,,,,,it never leaves me alone,,,,
It was for sure. 11 1 2020
The music was so good back then. We thought it would always be like that.
She's still around , 81 yrs old ! She's also an actress, was in the movie : " My big fat greek wedding" (2002)
I REALLY MISS the good ole days. Everyone laughing & carefree and Extremely Happy!!!!
My mother loved this song. She would clean the house with this song playing and singing along with the record. Boy do I miss her everyday. When I hear this song the tears start to flow.
candace lamon She had great taste
Yes mate I'm 65 now and this song makes me think of Mum and those times..........Cheers mate!!
Hacks for helping
I WAS 7 GOING ON 8 AND MOM WITH HER TRANSISTOR RADIO ON A NICE SUMMER DAY SITTING IN THE YARD IN 1964 SHE SANG ALONG ~~I POSTED THAT EARLIER ON FACEBOOK A MOMENT AGO BEFORE I READ YOUR COMMENT
I associate this song with my mother, too. She sang it along with the radio while ironing, and I played on the linoleum floor...I wish I could re-live that for just a couple minutes.
this song makes me cry out loud, so many have gone before me since I was young and this song was a hit.....I love you Richard, Nana and yes Mama too. I love you hope to see you soon.
When I was a little boy growing up, We'll Sing In The Sunshine was a big hit and I've loved this song since then. I remember hearing the song and thinking it was the saddest song I ever heard. I didn't want her to leave at the end of the song. This song still gets to me.
I was also a kid. I thought it incredibly sad too - still do.
@@maggielarocque4369 as a kid , I don;t think I ever really understood the lyrics, but now, it's a very odd story.... well, I guess it was a very happy year together, more than can be said for some relationships....
@@maggielarocque4369: "and thinking it was the saddest song I ever heard. "
Me too, maybe if we changed the lyrics to: "We'll sing in the sunshine until the divorce is final".
This version will change the sadness and pain and defer it into the future.
Me too...One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Wistful, poignant. Sad & yet beautiful. I see a deep hurt & sadness in her eyes & face too. Bless her soul.
@@maggielarocque4369 I thought it was sad too. Even then I knew the sunshine wouldn't last forever.
My mom would sing this song in the car. She passed away in 2020. Makes me miss her.
I'm sorry Gayle for your loss
I was born in 59! I like the music of yesteryear.
Oh, what a beautiful song from the 60's, an era that gave so many wonderful gifts, the kind that keep on giving so that they become enigmas in themselves.
Gale Garnett's hit song can brighten anyone's demeanor!
I just started singing this in the nursing homes and they love it!!
Do you go to the Nursing Homes to entertain the residents ? I am 74. Not a resident yet.
Bless you, and keep singing!
the 60s...a wonderful time to grow up in, when songs and singers were easy on the ear and pleasing to the eye.
Amen!
❤❤ Still singing this to my LOML Rachel in 2024❤❤
We from the 60's were so lucky to live in that time. Nothing is ever perfect but it still was .the BEST of times. I feel sorry for the last generations who will never know the feeling we had in those glorious days
We were pretty poor too but we had a good life. Having someone that loves You is what real happiness is all about. I loved this song when I was young and still do.
Loved this song in the 60's--now i am almost 80--still love the song. jlh
I was 20 and my wife 19 when she bought me this newly released record after 14 months of marriage. She put it in her purse and never was able to give it to me as she was shot and killed by a mentally sick individual who came to her workplace. The song was prophetic. Her family was wealthy, I was poor. They had tried to keep us apart so we eloped, and they disowned us until after the funeral when her father apologized for the way they had treated us after we married. I never got to put her through dental hygienist school or to thank her for the 14 months we had each other. There is no such thing as closure. Solace maybe, but when I go out in my back yard and look up at the stars, I talk to her and apologize for not being there for her when he walked in the office with a gun.
great nostalgic memories and a touch of happy sadness.
a touch of happy sadness -- well put, David
I was born in 1966, I've heard this song growing up, she has an incredible voice.
She never overreacts,
which is cool. Watching her sing, is much more powerful than just hearing her.
.
This song Won Gale a Grammy Award in 1965. It spent 7 weeks in the number one spot. She pretty much was her only top ten hit. She has written several novels as of 2021
👌👌👍love it , I can't say enough
She was a one hit wonder, but if you're going to be one this would be one I would want.
It went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in Oct 1964
7 weeks at number 1 where? Yet another comment where the country is not mentioned.
7 weeks in the billboard easy listening chart.
So comment is correct
The memories this song brings are timeless 😉
Hi Rebecca
How the standards have slipped. Everything about this lady oozes class. Nothing like the "wannabe' generation of today.
This song was a hit in 1964. I listened to it on my transistor radio as I walked to Jr high school.
The summer of 1967, I was about a year out of the Army (Viet Nam) and going to school at Univ of Ark. Fayetteville. I met a young Lady in The Red Lion and we spent most of the summer together. I have to thank her for helping to get my head on right and teaching me to be human again. The young Lady was named Francis so if you meet a lady named Francis, who hates to be called anything else ,Thank her for me. Every time I hear We'll sing in the Sunshine, I have to smile, we did and she gave me back the smile. Thank You, Dear Lady, you saved a life.
Great story
Thank you for your service sir and a belated welcome home my Hero!
But Sgt. Pepper Beatles album came out then, and Big Brother and the Holding Co. (Janis Joplin) and Jefferson Airplane (White Rabbit hit #1 though banned many places) all came out that summer of 1967. I was renting an apt. in Santa Barbara (Isla Vista town for UCSB). Unforgettable time!
...”teaching me to be human again” this just brought tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine how awful war can be - thank you for your service.
Nice story Ray, but if she was particular about her name, Frances is how shed spell it, with the ' I ' it's a mans name. I guess these days youd need to point out theres a difference there too.
America had many issues and troubles in the 60s. The flip side of that was there was an abundance of really pretty female singers, in groups and solo. No ink, well dressed and they could really sing!
I attest to that
Brunettes didn't feel the need to bleach their gorgeous hair.
We did not have issues. We took those to congress. We had problems.
Apart from JFK’s assassination and the confrontation in the Bay of Pigs, America was on top of the world. With its current ‘president’ in dementia America is defenceless, and the rest of world knows it. Only Americans haven’t a clue.
@@karinberryman2009 Most of them haven't a clue about their history. They introduce what I call era dependant bias. My father got $200 every two weeks in wages. $10 would supply a family for a month. Most of the people are clueless about their own history.
All you people who comment only we know what fifties snd dixties mesnt for us God bless you all😊
Sorry sixties😅
Today, I watched and listened to our birds singing, as I pulled back the window curtain exposing to the sunshine. I said to the birds, "Now you can sing in the sunshine". Then this beautiful song came rolling into my head! Haven't heard it in a thousand years! Thank you, Gale, for this beautiful song!
There is something very appealing about this woman and the way she sings. Its almost mesmerising!
I hear you on that! I think she’s good looking
Almost mesmerising??? It IS mesmerizing!!!
Sounds somewhat like Natalie Marchant.
Gale Garnet has a beautiful contra alto tone ,phrasing timbre soul .Sweeps me out of the pandemic funk of 2021

Kids growing up today wont remember any of today's songs in forty, fifty years. We were blessed.
What a fantastic voice.
Mom used to sing this song all the time.... and would wear her hair the same way... miss you Mom
What a time to be young, hearing this leaves me speechless and longing for that innocent time in our lives!💓
To the days we thought would last forever!💕
Your comment brought me to tears. I was a teenager during the 60's and ohh, what fun we had... going to the beach, the amusement park, barbecue at the local park, and kissing, kissing, kissing. I too long for a more innocent time. Thanks for the comment, I loved it 🤗
@@carolhanson8330 Thank you Carol, this made my night!😘
Steve tou summed it up perfectly
@@barrywilliams8324 Each time someone comments, I have to listen again! Stirs longing memories of a less complicated time! There will always be that one who points out History and how bad it was! They neglect to understand we were young and innocent. We grew up with very little but always had what we needed and certainly wouldn't have said otherwise! Now we have a Nation of The Entitled who thinks everyone else owes them something, especially The Government!!
God Bless you, yours and America, or what's left of it!🇺🇸
The constant threat of nuclear holocaust
Loved this as a little kid. I saw her in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" nearly 40 years later. She's still a beautiful woman.
Lyrics way ahead of their time. I was born in 67 and I still appreciate this stuff. When my mother passed I got most of her CDs and this song just happened to be on one of them
The lyrics of the songs of the 60's held so much meaning. I'm grateful to have been a teen during those times.
Gale is absolutely fabulous, so beautiful and with a fantastic voice.
What a beautiful song and lady, and what a style. I miss those days! Also, I liked the cute and playful wink she gave at the end of her song!
Wow what a great song, so melancholy. I was born in 1962 and remember this song being played on the radio when I was a bit older.
I was very lucky to grow up in the 60s and 70s
Allow me to "second" that, Glen!
I was born in 58 and I remember when this song was on the radio. Little did I know that it would be my mantra for the rest of my life lol But no regrets, it was all good fun and actually still is. One of my ex-husbands told me he thought of me every time he heard this song.
@@minxkapinx4ever I’d say it was a good Mantra!
@@lyndanorris haha we sure did! 😀
@@minxkapinx4ever oh boy, you heartbreaker you..
When I was 10 years old, I was at a Summer camp in Columbus Ohio and they would play this song over the loud speaker system to wake us up every morning. I thought, what a beautiful way to start the day.
Brings back so many great memories of my parents listening to this in the 1970's at home when I was a kid. Wonderful song.
I was 10... yeah great memories. A truely unique bluesy song.
And this was a turn about for women. The lyrics were telling men not to get attached, they were a free spirit, the women’s movement changed the whole scene of wanting to get married so young.
Probably my first favorite song on the radio back then. It makes you feel good. Now I see it's well arranged and vocally paired.
It's 2024, music is a battlefield, and songs sound like warfare,....nothing like "BACK THEN"😊
What I great song and style! Gale, I'm glad you're still alive and I miss you very much!
And I liked the way she gave a cute wink @ the end of her song!
it's a song and a singer you will never forget
This song is absolutely wonderful.
I just got a Bluetooth radio and added this song to my play list so happy with my 30.00 radio with 4 of 6.5 speakers from Walmart.Also reads out number your calling from the phone.I have always loved this song.
Hi Patricia
A great song from a while ago. Plus she was beautiful as can be.
One classic song that never goes out of style.
I was in highschool when this came out, and two years later on the way to VietNam they played it in flight just before we landed. Never will forget how I loved it.
Mike Putfus Yo U are lucky one,living that golden age.
Mike Putfus Your are lucky living that era
Mike, being a Viet Nam vet is "lucky" to be alive.
Bless you and thank you for your service.
Mike Putfus Glad u got back Mike . 😗
Missing all the good times...life was better..the music lives on and we are blessed with wonderful memories! Those were the good old days! 🙋♀️🌹
Remember it we'll keep them playing 👍🏆
I was 13 ... I absolutely played this until everyone was fed up...how ironic my life represents Gail
I've loved this song, since first hearing it in the 60's. This is my first chance to see Gale Garnett, and she is a beautiful girl !!
I like the simple arrangement of this song. Gale is very captivating. I could watch and listen to her all day.
Lovely. I hear Rita Coolidge in today's voice.
There's a surprising honesty in these lyrics. Nothing lasts forever, but, remember, we had some fun. A fine song.
You are so right, I am 72 and grew up with that kind of music if a person could go back in time to the 50's-60's life was so much simpler then.
Allan Hunter I know what you mean but for unknown numbers of people it wasn’t that great or safe a time - which is why the music of the day meant so very much. It helped ease the isolation and struggle.
Allan Hunter I Agree, i turned 73 three days ago.

What an amazing time to be a teenager !
This song came up on a TikTok songs of 60’s and I forgotten about it till then. I remember my parents always listening to this when I was growing up in the 70’s
Hi Michelle
I remember my mom singing this to me as a little kid.... 💕
Great song, great voice, beautiful woman!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I remember hearing this on the radio as a kid when it came out. Loved the slight smile at the end. God bless you Gale!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Aborigines, she's great, she can pass, she's a natural.
I remember listening to that song too back then.
I was 10 years old when this was playing in the background of my wonder years and my only thoughts were what for Christmas would be my toys. 55 years ago. And this song still resonates and is still relevant. Which is what defines it as a classic. Something that crap called rap will never achieve. ✌☺
Boy howdy!
It is disgusting, ,sickening, and maddening the c(rap) that the music "industry" has degenerated into releasing...and that gullible (young) people are gravitating to....
The gullible fools think that they are so trendy and cool for listening to such tuneless NOISE......
but the are really just DUPES for buying that NOISE....and making the noisemakers all mega MILLIONAIRES.....
It is total INSANITY!

That Rap crap is the reason why there are so many degenerates ABUSING girls. Rap has been POISINING America's youth for the past 2 generations. It should be BANNED!
@@Dina-nm1nx you are so right! The songs from our growing up years usually made sense and the music was great with not one "F" word in the lyrics. Oh yeah, I miss the 60's.
What a classy woman great memories.Now that was music.😎 big Loco East Los Angeles Califas 💯🇲🇽🇺🇸. Long live 60s and 70s.
You know your music.😎 big Loco East Los Angeles Califas 💯🇲🇽🇺🇸
The 60s were fantastic, the pirate radio ship "Radio Caroline" brought us in the UK so many new singers and bands, music the BBC refused to play. Awesome time, Awesome music.
When music was enjoyable to listen to. Not like the crap kids buy these days that have bad language, violence and no harmony. The 60's and 70's was a magical time for music.
I graduated from high school (Morrow Senior High School, Morrow, GA) on May 29, 1974 & even tho it's been 46 years(!?!), i still remember this great song. Yes the 60's & 70's had great music & oh how I miss them. This one song just popped in my head just now & I will have to share it.
@Peyton Risbon you are a rare bird. It is greatest music ever recorded
I agree with that, yet over here in the U.K. (not so sure about the US) people say the 70s was the worst decade for music (ok disco and punk maybe) 76/77 started the downfall of good music and it’s been mostly downhill from then on!
Don’t forget the 50’s when songs had meaning and romance .
@Tom Gentile, that's selective observation. There is "good" and "bad" music in every era--however we choose to define "good" and "bad." We are all focusing now on one we like, but if you thought about it, you could name some tunes from the same era that you didn't like and if you were open to listening, you could hear and name some songs from now that you would like.
I remember hearing this on the radio in the 60s. Then tonight on March 11, 2022 saw her acting in an episode S2 E7 Hawaiian Eye, titled White Pigeon Ticket where she played a secretary to a man potentially involved in a factory heist. Just now while watching the credits I saw Gale Garnett, and wondered is she That famous singer with a beautiful soulful voice? I found she had many talents in life, singing (this was her biggest hit - oh I loved this song!), acting in 11 movies, and a number of TV shows including Hawaiian Eye twice. Very talented and attractive lady at the time and I believe still alive at 79. If this isn't in my song collection I'll have to add it. What a beautiful voice she had!
🎶IN MIAMI BEACH!🎶🛥️
Thanks for adding all that additional info. I only remember her as a kid from this song. Didn't know she had other skills.
I just saw her in S6 ep19. Debutante (1963) of Have Gun Will Travel.
She’s also a published author having written several novels.
I'd give anything if I could go back to my younger days when time's were happy & wonderful & stress free
I remember watching this on TV the night it aired. LOL, just playin. I was born 1969. Her face reminds me of the woman I'm in love with. Her body, smile and wink. It's been more than 20 years and I still love her with all my heart.
Have loved this song. Since I first heard it. Still listen to it almost daily after 50 years.
I remember this playing on the radio when I was a little. Still love it :) An amazing time for music.
I GREW UP IN THE 50's 60's70's MUSIC I WAS BORN IN 1949 MARCH 5 . WE HAD IT BETTER BACK THEN THAN WE DO NOW.
Listening in 2021. None of these oldies get boring to listen to. I’ve been listening to them since I was about 10 and now I’m 28
All those days are long gone, artist like her are no more, beautiful song.
I haven't heard this song for more than a quarter century. Wow.
Could you imagine if she could let it go in the 80’s? What a voice
Still alive and well. Thankfully. What a perfect song and perfect sentiment. Now that Im old I say she is truth telling, it's not just a song.
