    Tony Williams had a golden voice - and the harmonizing was utterly fantastic.

    You know you're getting old when you start liking the music that your parents used to listen to. How many times as a teenager was this played in the car.

    grew up in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s. This was played in my house as a kid. My parents bought all the Lps. I still have them from the 50s. This music brigs the tears to my eye as they danced to this music when I was a kid.

      OMG, I haven't heard the term 'saddle shoes' in 60 years, I no longer live in the U.S., but I remember wearing them to school and hating them! They were said to be the best for young feet, but I found them really ugly and clumpy. Funny how these old songs bring up memories we'd forgotten, until another you tuber reminds us. Thanks! Yes I had a bouncy ponytail, wish I had so much hair these days! Enjoy your youth, it never comes again.

    This was my dad's song for my mom, I remember when I was a kid they used to sing this while both of them played the guitar, the blending was beautiful, I also remember when my dad used to sing this in the karaoke when we have family gatherings he would turn to my mom and they would act like they are still young. Now I always catch my mom playing this song in the guitar and in her phone when she miss my dad. Too bad my dad is already gone by the time I was old enough to play this song in the guitar. He'd be happy if the three of us could sing this together.

    I havent heard this song for a while. My grandmother, she used to listen to this song every morning, she had this cd. For everyday I used to wakeup with this song playing loudly. I memorized the whole songs on her playlist. It didn’t bother me anyway, then after 2 years, she stopped listening to the cd. And when i try to remember her playlist, i would get them all, except this one song. ☝️ My grandmother passed away last month and i miss her everyday. She was 82. She had a good life. That’s why when i first heard the song on the wandavison trailer, i teared up, bc it all came back to me- the memories. She was blind both eyes when she was in her 40s. She never even got to see us, her grandchildren but we loved her and we know she loved us.

    As a grandfather I remember these songs when I was at school. But not as grandfather music. In the late 1950s in a white boarding school in the UK where we were encouraged to listen to classical music, I remember that we also had hip rock n rollers who made an exception to their rock n roll by going around carrying that Platters EP with the white, green and black modern art colourway. (My Prayer, Only You, etc...). It was the EP to have (does anyone remember EPs?). And Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (very different to Nat Cole's version) topped the UK charts for several weeks. It was my introduction to the inter-war jazz ballads (Jerome Kern?) but also to the power of black voices orchestrated for maximum effect. I love the way it builds and fades and builds and fades again, with Zola Taylor's smoky tones like the icing on the cake. I can't believe that Phil Spector wasn't getting some ideas from Buck Ram's arrangements.

    When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
    I'll hear you, my dear, at Twilight Time.
    Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
    Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
    I count the moments, darling, til you're here with me
    Together, at last, at Twilight Time.
    Here in the afterglow of day
    We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
    Here in the sweet and same old way
    I fall in love again as I did then.
    Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
    Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
    Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
    Together, at last, at Twilight Time.
