    Born in the summer, we rocked our sweet baby girl to sleep while playing this song. In our home this is, "The Baby's Song". Thank you for sharing this video.

    This beautiful song is one that is very close to my heart...it was one of my mother's very favorites. We used to listen to this one together, and I can "feel" her near every time I hear it. Thank you Phil - for the music and the memory...

    I think Brian Wilson must have heard and been inspired by this. I hear Beach Boys harmonies in there.

    The 60s scored a direct nuclear hit on their careers. Their demise took that entire type of music with them.

    When we were still at home, my mom on weekend chores would put letterman and others on her console stereo😃
    She did that to minimize the griping and moaning we sometimes did.. that music made our chores so much easier and faster. Not a peep out of us the whole time. We would sing with them. So much fun. ..1966/7 My mom was Smart! lol…

    My Dad had this music on 8 track. When my parents would go out and the babysitter came over I would lock the bedroom door, find one of my Dad's dress shirts and sing these songs in front of the mirror. Great songs to learn how to harmonize to! 🤗😍😊
