MUSIC: Helen Miller / LYRICS: Estelle Levitt
We wrote on the corner of the table
This is the only one that will last
For you, for me, for always
Forever was made for us but
For us it went by too fast
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
When we meet you always call me "baby"
How could it be that you forgot my name?
Before you go, be honest
I belonged to you and
Believed that you felt the same
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
People never stay the same forever
Somebody always loves a little more
Tonight I need to love you
Together we'll find a way
To make tomorrow worth living for
Don't say you don't remember
I'll never love anyone else
If you say you don't remember
How can I go on living with myself?
************************************************
This 70s heartache ballad by Beverly Bremers is so good, it deserves its own video... so I made one. The photos are from Beverly's website (check it out):
www.beverlybrem...
Released in 1971, then re-released in 1972, "Don't Say..." peaked at #15 on the charts in February 1972.
Beverly Bremers remembers composer Helen Miller on Helen's memorial Facebook page:
"Helen Miller was a genius, a lunatic, and a tough cookie, who lived life to the fullest - loud & large. It was a privilege to work with her on "Don't Say You Don't Remember". She knew what she wanted & she got it. I also recorded the demos for "Inner City" with her and the amazing Carl Hall, who later performed in the show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be in it because of a commitment to another show, but I sure wish I could've. Great songs in that show! What an amazing body of work she created in her life! Anyone who has ever crossed paths with this complex woman will always remember her ; - ) I miss her music, her spirit, & her dirty jokes. I even miss her yelling at me."
--Beverly Bremers, Feb. 17, 2011

I hope everyone is well & staying safe during these tough times. Remember to keep love in your heart. And music!
stii love this bev,51 years later youre an american beauty and gem.....brookes father wrote this, gilbert
I hope you are well Beverly. Happy birthday for yesterday xx
Beverly....you were back on the American Top 40 Countdown this morning on Sirius XM 70s On 7 with Casey Kasem! Don’t Say You Don’t Remember was #17 on March 11, 1972-50 Years Ago! What a wonderful song to hear on a cold winter Sunday morning in Cleveland, Ohio! Hope all is well! Bob Berdys
Love your song ,your voice. Beautiful.
@@robertberdys2715 Didn't know Sirius played AT40--I'll have to listen. It'll remind me of when I was in Cleveland in the 70s. Cleveland was a disaster then, but it was so much fun to be at Case and on my own. And the music was great!
I've made it to 69yrs old still married to the same girl since 1975 and still coming back to this beautiful song. Don't we miss the 70's!
beta dudes love that same-o same-o P
Im 67 miss late 60s and 70s great music brings back good memories... of better days
I was a child then, but yes I miss those carefree times. Kids today have to be more worldly today sadly.
Who's here in 2024 hearing this great song that covered the end of 1971 and the beginning of 1972
Still here, and loving this song treasure, that speaks to the hearts. Beverly, I know you check the comments, from time to time. Thank you for this timeless song. Beautiful voice and music. It's a rare treasure for us. Thank you!
I'm here!
That I remember when I was only 12 and in Grade 5 back then, I'm 64 now and I still like that song to this day.
HERE! Not going anywhere yet.
LOVE this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕
A real tear jerker song from my youth when I still believed in true love!
Don’t lose faith. I’ll be 73 November 2024 and just reconnected with a girl I met when we were both 15. We were together for almost 3 years and then lost touch and all these years later we’ve reunited and it’s amazing so don’t give up hope.❤
I played this song more than 50 years ago as a young disc
jockey. Today when I'm driving along and it suddenly comes on the radio without me expecting it, WOW! Thank you, Beverly, for my favorite song.
love this song sirius oldies doesnt play it enough
I so wish we still had this kind of beautiful music !! Love her voice and this song so much.
Beverly had a beautiful singing voice.. It's too bad she didn't have anymore hit songs and she isn't too well known by the public as being a singer
Yes what happened to good music
Thanks for your lovely comments! I actually had another Top 40 hit called, "We're Free", but it was not played everywhere because of what was thought to be controversial lyrics. I've also been active over the years in the theatre, such as "Hair" & "The Rocky Horror Show".
Me, too❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@shilohbreigh3591 love this song brings back memories
Hey everybody, I haven't checked in for awhile, for which I apologize. Thank you for all your wonderful comments! Sometimes, I don't get a chance to answer all of them, but I SO appreciate your kind words of affection for me & my record. Love you!
One of my all-time favorite songs of any era! Never tire of hearing it! Thank you, Ms. Bremers, for giving us this song! Best wishes always!
Such a great song at great time in the history of music.....David Cassidy was in here also, Sad.
BEAUTIFUL SONG...WAS 16 WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT...BRINGS BACK NICE MEMORIES
Beverly Bremers absolutely one of the best So glad I found it on you tube
heartfull music
This song still brings a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes. Lots of memories. I don't think anyone could have hit it better than Beverly Bremers. Thanks for the memories.
Joe I agree. Memories of high school and being in love. It was a time without COVID19 virus and Mom and Dad were still living. Stay safe.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 it's such a pretty song those
@@johnpowers652 yes a beautiful song. Love to return to 1971/1972, and being in high school, at South Charleston High, in West Virginia. Semper Fi
@@usmc-veteran73-77 , I joined the Army in 1974 and would catch up on the current hits at the NCO clubs where I was stationed . Miss those days. And, thank you for your service!
Beautiful song, gorgeous voice❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who is still loving this song in 2020??
Me, right here in NC! This song has always hit me in a very deep place
LOst my childhood sweetheart 5 years ago. This song brings back so many memories from 1971-1972.
Me in New Jersey.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kim Clark Me, too, Kim. It touches my soul and breaks my heart. It came out the same year my husband and I got married... he is gone now.
Back when music was worth listenin' to.
Got that right..
There are good songs today.
Wonder if she ever really knew just how great this song was, I'm sure she knows now, thanks Beverly.
the good ole days of music! glad i was young then!
I was a teenager when this came out, and it was a smash hit that got loads of AM air time. It's among other songs that bring back great memories of high school and growing up. Thanks Beverly.
Such a beautiful song. Shame there are still internet, miserable trolls giving this a thumbs down. The music and her voice will drown out any hater!
Beautiful song, she was beautiful then and NOW. Miss the 70s, I'd go back to the 70s and stay.
I agree with you! How could anyone give this song a thumbs down? Maybe they don't appreciate good music.
Thumbs down ??? I can't fathom
that at all. This IS a beautiful song.
I was a freshman in high school
when this came out and bought
the 45. I loved it then and still do.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 So would I, esp. with all the lessons I've learned since
@paulconnors2078 I hear you, Paul. I'm not sure how old you were in the 1970s. I turned 15 yrs old in 1970. By 1973, I was in the United States Marine Corps. By 1974, I was on Okinawa at Camp Foster. By 1977, I'd finished my 4 yrs in the Marine Corps. As you see, the 70s were busy for me. Semper Fi
One of the greatest songs of the early 1970s and the most underrated.
What a beautiful song takes me back to the good old days of good music.
Beverly, This great song makes you one of the BEST of the BEST. Marc :)
she is not only beautiful, but also has the voice of an angel !
60 baby love this song!
John, 60's& 70's had the best music! 😍the oldies
Absolutely beautiful song ! They don't make them like they used to! Brings back incredible memories!!
Still a beautiful song that has truly stood the test of time. Thanks Beverly for making the world a better place 😘
This song was and is Beverly Bremers' masterpiece. She sings it with such feeling and depth one cannot help but to feel touched every time one hears it. Many songs are nice but few have this characteristic of touching those who hear it.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Not only the music and the lyrics are very good but the singer has such a good voice so full of feeling as she sings this song it never fails to move me. This one is Beverly's masterpiece really. What could be better than this?
I was that awkward 14 year old who sang to songs on the radio in my bedroom every night. This one ALWAYS made me cry. Now, at 60, it still brings a tear; but, fortunately, I've learned to deal with life's disappointments with a lot less angst. Such a heart-rending song.
Not always. Then, you pretty much assumed you had a lot of years for more. NOW, well, time is winding down.
So many fond memories I love you Beverly
Always an impressive song, then and now. Well-harmonized and arranged. Too bad Ms. Bremers didn't become a much bigger star with more top hits.
I think she also did a lot of work on Broadway, so her career was split between making records for the radio and doing the non-radio thing on Broadway. But you're right. It seems like her record company could have found more hits for her. This song was a "hit" and Beverly made it that much better.
Thank you, gentlemen, for your nice comments & Christmas wishes! I wish you all a very happy, healthy holiday season!
+Beverly Bremers Merry Christmas to you too, Beverly! :D
+Beverly Bremers You are a wonderful vocalist. I was so glad to find this recording, It still holds its own, even in 2015!
+Beverly Bremers You are beautiful and so is you voice. What great memories.
+Beverly, hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for your music.
+Ron Gregory I did, Ron, thanks! I hope you did, too!
Beverly - was going through some older CDs tonight and found this wonderful song - 62 years old now, and could sing every word along with you after all these years. Thank you!
Songs I know the word to: "Don't Say You Don't Remember". Yes in the 70's we had beautiful ballads.
A beautiful and timeless classic from Beverly Bremers. It was a much simpler time to be growing up. I love this amazing song...I'll always remember!
"...somebody always loves a little more...", ain't that the truth.
Brings goose bumps just like when I was 15
I haven't heard this beautiful song in decades. Thank you Miss Beverly.
2024 came across this tonight looking for the wonderful female singers from 60’s and 70’s. WOW haven’t heard this in a really long time even though I listen to lots of music on TH-cam. It was a wonderful surprise for me. I truly love this song and had forgotten about it until tonight. Thank you for bringing it back to the front of my brain once again
This still touches my heart...when music made sense. Love it!!!!!!
I Loved The 1970's I'm 71 yrs. old and this is one of the Great Songs of The 1970's My Doesn't Time Fly By !😇😪😘
I didn't realize this was on TH-cam. From the arrangement, the songwriting to the knock out vocal, this record stands tall even today. I was a child, and I still remember it well.
Downright gorgeous and touching. Beverly's delivery is perfect and the arrangement is moving, as are the lyrics. I wish that younger people would come to see the beauty of such good music and abandon the electronica and auto-tune musical culture in which beauty, body parts and personal success seem to be the dominant considerations. As a man, I love the lyrics to this song and the valid message of a woman who says: "I value your love - where is it?" "People never stay the same forever." Such meaningful lyrics. Well done, Beverly! A song that always touches me.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your nice comments!
Love this song. Sung with such feeling. My youth my first love
Brings me back to a time in my life when like was sweet and simple.
Me too!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! It always brings me back to my senior year in High School! It is so exceptionally beautiful! Thank you Beverly!
Me too, senior in high school. One of my favorites
People never stay the same forever.
Someone always loves a little more.
Words of wisdom
Yes. But the words in simple man by Lynyrd skynyrd are the best advice ever. Great advice to anyone young or old
It is so cool that Beverly herself visit the site. Thank you for making such a great song.
+Snack Daddy Agree! It's grt to have an Artist comment back to you about her song!!!!
My pleasure! It's nice to be remembered. :-)
I appreciate everybody's comments!
@@beverlybremers1 We don't say we don't remember!
Thank you all for your lovely, heart-felt comments about this record - the song written by the fabulous Helen Miller & Estelle Levitt, the arrangement (Charlie Calello, a musical genius), the production by Helen Miller & David Lipton, and my performance on it. Your compliments fill my heart with joy! It seems that almost everyone has a very special memory & story to coincide with this recording, which is sweet & amazing. I truly appreciate you all, even if you don't remember me or thought I was Donny Osmond. ;- ) FYI, I did have another hit, "We're Free", which actually was banned on many radio stations (absurd by later standards) and I have continued to record & perform to this day. Thanks for creating & posting this video, OceanKingNY, and big hugs to you all!
+Beverly Bremers Well done, Bev! :-) I was like about 3 or 4 at the time this song came out, but I only discovered it here while back for the first time, and I gotta say I love this song! It should have most definitely gone higher on the charts than what it did.
+Beverly Bremers Good for you Beverly,music is such a wonderful gift, I'm glad you still sing, love your voice and love "Don't say you don't remember".
+Beverly Bremers Beverly it is always wonderful hearing you sing this song! It is a real blessing to listen to it. I love the feeling you put into the song, it is timeless! I always think of the ones I never won and and this makes me feel blessed to have tried even though I never won! God Bless you and your Wonderful Voice!
+Kinseydsp Thank you so much for your nice comments! And remember that you're a winner!
+Ken Jakubowski Thanks, Ken! You make me feel good all over. :-)
Wow!! Just listening to some of the heartbreaker memory makers ........ I saw “Don’t say you don’t Remember” Tears came rolling out of my eyes. I haven’t heard that song for at least 40 years, but when it started playing I could sing the arrangement, and every single word. I loved this song! I am so happy to have it back in my life. Thank you! Thank you!
And PLEASE ......... Don’t Say You Don’t Remember!
Stumbled across this beautiful song haven't heard it in sooo long ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a splendid song because Beverly's voice sounds so natural without being forced. She sang it with depth and with very much feeling so one responds when hearing this masterpiece of a song. Truly one of the best songs I have ever heard in my 71 years.
Wow.
I graduated class of 1973 and I remember this song from that time. This is my first time hearing it since then.
Me too, 73
What a great voice, with that quality of being womanly and sweetly girlish at the same time, like Ella Fitzgerald.
I love this voice, but Ella? Get a grip!
Ah, the early seventies. I remember it well. Redbone, Carly Simon, the Adrisi Brothers ..so many great songs. This was one of them. A world gone away...of excellence in all things. Hold your memories near, dear Baby Broomers. It will never be again.
Beverly, you should have been a star with a long singing career.
I forgot all about this song until I heard it on one of those throw back Saturday night radio shows. One of the most beautiful songs, I just get chills when I here it makes me think of a long lost love. Hard to believe it doesn't get more airplay.
This is by far the best song of that era, and in 2019 STILL my favorite song ever, listen to it daily..thank you for so many memories to this song....
Thank you SO much for your Response. It's mean, So much to get the Response's l have been getting . Have a VERY MERRY Christmas, And a HAPPY New year.God Bless.
I heard this on the radio on a long drive home the other night. It went on instant replay in my head for the next few days. I remembered it from my long lost youth.
Beautiful song by a beautiful lady.
I LOVED this song when I first heard it in jr. high! I'm 65 now and just found it again after all these years. Wonderful, gorgeous voice and lyrics.
65 now,too
I've been listening to this song since it came out in the early '70s. Never tire of it. I am also very passionate about music. Nothing like the simple pleasures. A good cup of coffee and a good song every day.
The Best things in Life. Just a good cup of Coffee and a beautiful song from the best days this country ever will see. This is such a beautiful Love Song! For those like myself who have loved and Lost.
(new) music will never match this
me too..Im.a 70s child..Everything was simple & the music was AWESOME..It will never be..Just a wonderful memory❤
dennis guerrerio I agree. Love to 70s and the music. It was a big part of our life. I'd go back to the 70s and stay there, and not come back.
Locked down at home, listening to this song. How about you?
Me too, here in Charleston West Virginia. When this was a hit I was in high school and so in love. Love to return to 1971/1972 no COVID19 virus and Mom and Dad were still living.
🔐 locked down too Crystal in Virginia Beach Virginia and this song reminds me of my ex girlfriend how she broke my ❤ heart and left me dry. I hope she had a good life. I cried for 3 months...lol..
So everytime I hear this song, the memories are bittersweet...Peace and 💘 Love...
Beautiful voice-brings tears and so many memories....
Happy New Year, everybody! May all your dreams come true. :-)
Gorgeous song. I was 14 when it was released and loved it instantly. Thank you.
Thanks for all the fine memories and adding to the happy times. God Bless You Forever!
thank you for a great song!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Ms.Beverly Bremers It's Matthew J.Bulger From Brooklyn NY. Did You Ever Appear On "The Ed Sullivan Show " As A Broadway Cast Member Of "Hair? Did You Ever Record Any Christmas Songs That Were Created At Time Another Words A Non Traditional Song?
Happy New Year to You too, Beverly. Regards.
Timeless song really this one is good to hear anyplace and anytime no matter if it is cold, warm, dry, rainy or snowy. I have always liked the beautiful voice of Beverly Bremers.
I fell in love with my future wife during this time...listening to this beautiful song. I do remember the picnics, miniature golf, days at the shore and walking the Boardwalk. It's too bad no one has invented a time machine....So we could all go back, even for a few minutes...
a time machine beats living in todays Jacked up world.
This is one heart wrenching ballad. everyone has had that someone who.
I so remember crying to this....😊😢
I still do......
I hear this song,,, and my youth and first loves come flooding back,, still,,, after a lifetime. ❤
Beverly has such a beautiful voice..... only problem with this song is it has a ending..... Thank you Beverly for 3 minutes of heavenly joy
This song's message is universal...I mean, who hasn't felt the pain of unrequited love at some point in their life?

I would have to give this song a shot in the top 50 of all time. Such meaning, beautiful voice, and beautiful background music.
This came out when my folks split up and I was 18 and so missed my dad. He passed 10years ago and I'lliss him forever now. RIP William Buford Neal. I'll love you forever
Over One Million Views!
Thank you all for watching!
OceanKingNY Dear King, Thank you for putting this song on here. My whole life is music, and It's nice to find the songs I love, and the songs that time and radio forgot on U. tube. I'm not a very good singer, or guitarist, but I write songs, I have 17 on U. tube. I can hope for a million views.
Absolutely! most beautiful song that stays in my heart to this day despite the fact I was only 10 years old when this song was released. God Bless You. and thank you for bringing this song to the public!
Mike Drennan I was only five years old but having a Sister 10 years older there was no way I could Miss listening to this kind of music.
Bobbie Barker
...and well on your way to three...'scuse me...four million. That's what happens when you preserve a record well worth remembering. Good on you guys.
One of those songs that were so well performed they are still nice to hear now 47 years later. I always liked the natural way, so sincere sounding in which Beverly sang this song. For me this is her masterpiece.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!! Thank you for putting it on TH-cam!
You're welcome! But Beverly Bremers kinda helped too, so she deserves some of the credit. :D
Hi OceanKingNY- I agree with you. Beverly does deserve some credit.Thank you Beverly and God Bless you!
I remember Beverley from the musical The me nobody knows and from this song....like so many here this song has a bit of a story for me....a beautiful sweet but strong voice.
This one is really beautiful the rhythm and the lyrics are just right and Beverly's stupendous voice makes it a very good song to hear and enjoy anytime, anyplace.
Lacey: Because they THINK they're so hip. They couldn't hear a good song if it him upside the head. I'll take this over 90% of the music out today.
This song is so beautiful it is still a great song to hear nearlly half a Century later. Beverly did a great job on this one as she sings it with feeling and sounds as if she really means what she is saying. Still one of my favorites.
I had forgotten this song. I LOVE THIS SONG. STILL BREAKS MY HEART.
great song Bev. brings back memories. Didnt get the recognition is deserved.
I aired this constantly on WNYH when I programmed music on the station. The best of the best, Beverly Bremers!!!!
Thanks, can you some how transport us back to 1971/1972? We had it made. Memories of girl friends during high school. I'd stay in the 70s forever, 15 yrs old in 1970.
25 in 1974 but I agree.
I meant to say 15 in 1974 and agree with you.
@@Nastyfinger1444 I'd go back to the 70s and never return
Stunningly beautiful song, best ballad of the 70s--moving lyrics, great orchestration, and an amazing vocal performance by Bremers. For pop songs, this is perfection.
Chris Fisanick Back when the production and the arrangement of a song really mattered..
Chris Fisanick Thanks a lot!!!
Beverly Bremers Beverly this song will always be one of the Most wonderful Love songs ever sung and your awesome voice put it there! The Best to you!
Beverly Bremers
Thank YOU, Miss Bremers!! A truly beautiful song!

ANDI,-I,-STILL,-LOVE,-U,-!-4,-EVER,-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-HOW,-CAN,-I,-?
I love this song. The music was so great in the 60's and 70s. Brings back such fond memories of my youth.
This is the only song that makes me cry for my ex-husband who is no longer with us.
😪
How cool....and thoughtful.....and appreciative....is that Beverly posts comments periodically to thank people for THEIR comments and to thank think...….Beverly....we DO remember......and so do you......thanks
Makes you think of that special person that just slipped away, doesn't it.....you just can't forget them, no matter how hard you try....
You took the words right out of my keyboard
So true. Even if you marry another, that first one is in the back of your mind forever.
So true. Memories of high school and an old girlfriend. Love to go back to the early 70s and stay.
@@austinteutsch I agree 100%, love to go back to the early 70s and be in high school
They don't write songs like this anymore. This song brings back so many memories.
Best song of the 70s. Ms. Bremers really pours her heart into this classic tune. Thanks for the memories.
I was just a freshman in high school when this magical song came out. now 40+ years later I still love hearing it. Ms. Bremers has such a wonderful voice and created one of those songs that will forever live among baby boomers.
Lucas McCain loved The Rifleman, great show, loved it as a kid, still watch it today on ME-TV
Love this song brings back memories of my first love
Me too...still own the 45...lots of memories attached to this one...
Me 2 🥰
when I first heard this on the radio, I thought it was the Osmands. When I found out it was Beverly Bremers and what she looked like, instant crush! That was along time ago; still have the crush!
I THOUGH IS WAS DONNY SINGING THIS SONG ALSO!
What an amazing song , sounds so much like Donny, and Donny had the same higher pitched voice as well.
Always love this song... so many memories back to one and only 70's music !! Still listening in 2020
this song still makes me cry, so beautiful and heart felt.
Beverly Bremer is such an awesome singer!!!
To My Dear Beverly Bremers , I was all of 10 but this song always stuck in my head, I Often Sing it At Karaoke, and think of my junior high girlfriend. Joanne
I've heard and played this song over 1000 times... I Just Love it and her...
Wow, have not heard this classic in such a long time. Brings back so many great memories of my youth and having that special someone in your life at that time. Great music never goes away, it just gets better with time. I'm sure there are a great deal of us can really relate to this great song. Bless you Beverly, you did a great job...Peace and Love.....
Forgive me that I didn't remember the artist's name but I recognized the song title when it showed up on TH-cam, so I just now listened to it in 3/2022 -- and remember LOVING this song way back when! Gorgeous instrumental arrangement and beautiful voice. So glad to have found this again!
From a time when we had dreams and believed they could come true......
Nia the Gulf Gypsy Nia you are so right in those days I always thought my dreams would come true but They never did but I am thankful I was young back then and not today as it seems people have very little feelings. God Bless you.
Nia the Gulf Gypsy very well said...
Nia the Gulf Gypsy Don't ever let go of what ever dream you have. Ever.
dyslexicjim AHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH tears rolled from me . with the comment ! if i closed my eyes i would go back to high school
1971 LARRY BOND , JR......RIO GRANDE CITY TEXAS 1970/ 71
first kiss first hug......first i love you from him . after graduation I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN ! WISH I COULD................. love and peace ida
Nia the Gulf Gypsy Dear Nia, I can't remember what dreams are. And I can't recall that any of them came true. Mostly I got night mares, divorce, cheating. I wonder if any body ever actually loved me, or was I just a meal ticket. This song says it all. Predivorce paranoia, on U. tube, 14 songs in all, 6 new ones coming.
I absolutely love your voice and this song. Takes me bake to my last year of high school. I feel so blessed that I grew up before auto tune, when vocalists were truly talented artists. Love, love, love this!!
So.... where the heck is Beverly Bremers now in 2019? At 69, she could STILL be performing at all the usual places, such as here in Las Vegas.. (We LOVE oldies performers/ singers!)
I very well remember this song when i was a pilot in the USAF in Viet Nam in 1971-1973. I could listen to it late at night with headphones and cry to myself, wishing I was back in the USA.
What a voice! What a song! I still remember the follow up "I'll make you Music" later in 1972, as well. I thought I'd find Beverly Bremers all over on TV and in live shows in 1973 when I returned from the war back to the USA...
Sadly, I couldn't find her anywhere in the USA thereafter.
What a great song and this is coming ftom a heavy metal person in his mid 50s. This is a song nobody plays anymore. My question is why not??
Michael Drennan They don't play it anymore because a good melody, great lyrics and raw human emotion don't cut it anymore. Who wants to experience real feelings when there's so much mediocre music out there to dull your brain?
Randall Webber Excellent point..I feel the same way..Glad I was born in the fifties and got to experience all the music of the 60s and 70s..I know alot of people hate Phil Spector but he was great at putting out the kind of music you mentioned..Especially with the Righteous Brothers..regards.
Because the "oldies" stations are really superficial and formula-driven ....
Randall Webber ...And because romance and courtship have been replaced with hook-ups and hook-jobs, rap and hip hop, whose themes revolve around "gonna get it", "gotta git it", and today's generation of women willing to "prostitute" themselves for a chance to take a "selfie" with a guy to post to their Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook accounts, to prove to their peers that they're worthy of male affection. Tattoos, piercings, using vulgarity when speaking to guys and having guys speak to you in a similar manner. Trying to "Keep up" with the Kardashians, instead of "Keeping them in your rearview mirror". The music industry and media have poisoned and brainwashed today's generation; succeeded it dumbing it down and "ghettoing it up", to the point where music like this is a lost art and will never be appreciated enough to be produced again. What a tragedy!
Yep...I'm 57 yo....I was in the metal clubs at least 3 nights a week in the late 80s...Now I listen to my grandparent's "Beautiful Music".....
I remember playing this song over and over on the turntable in my bedroom back in '71 when I was 17. Even listening to it now, i can still feel the deep emotion I felt inside for the young boy I was so in love with back then. Sadly, our relationship ended (my fault) but when we reconnected on Facebook about 10 yrs ago, I learned he became a born-again minister with 10 children, so maybe it all worked out anyway : ) Thanks for recording this song. It remains one of my faves.
Still loving this song. What a beautiful, robust voice! This is what made music so great!
PS: June, 2020!
This song was released the same year I graduated from high school (1972). Good times, great memories.

Debbie C Thanks, Debbie! I appreciate it. : -)
I have had this song stuck in my head for 40+ years, and I didn’t know the title or the artist that sang this song. But I knew if I kept at it, I would get both title and artist. I found out a couple of years ago, and wow! I’ve got my satisfaction. This song was on the radio in the Atlanta area back in the 70’s on WQXI , and I would wait patiently until the song would play again. This song ranks into my all time favorite songs, because it has such a hauntingly beautiful melody. And then the lyrics! Somebody always loves a little more. That is so true! Thank you Beverly , for giving this song to us. It’s a gift from God, sung by an angel!! Can it get any better than that?!
I'd love to return 70s when this was a hit I was in high school and so in love. I was 17 yrs old back in 1972
Interesting. I only remembered hearing the title sung, not the rest. I was 11 at the time and don't think it was played much. Had I heard the rest, I would have played it over and over, as I am doing now. On the other hand, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was released the same month, and had tons of airplay. As good as that is, this song is even better.
If I live to be 100 I will never understand why Bremers didn't go on to enjoy hit after hit.
She had a truly wonderful voice; was actually a far better singer than many of her
contemporaries. She also certainly was easy on the eyes too. It's so sad that she didn't
go on to conquer the charts. :(
That’s very true!!
