Jerry walked into my radio station in 1967, he was appearing at a local nightclub and was doing the radio rounds. He spent about an hour with us, telling stories and answering questions. I went and saw him that night, enjoyed his show and his many hit songs. Thanks Jerry
I used to listen to this over and over on a jukebox at a park..that had swimming pool ,dance hall, skating ring etc My daddy had the 45 but listening to it there just seemed more special somehow. To me Jerry Wallace owned this one.
he was the greatest ! overlooked by billboard to keep main stream singers on top back in the 60's and early 70's ,most likely billboard was payed off to do this .
When you listen to wonderful songs like this and think of the days when they were made popular by American listeners, many of whom are still living, you have to stop and ask, where on this earth is our country going?
I forgot one thing today folks you know I forgot today today is December 7th the Japanese came after us at Pearl Harbor that's right Japanese we got to be nice to Japanese I know it's hard to do I advise loot it out the dentist Hershey this morning his father was there his father saw the jet planes coming over yeah if I was there I was up in heaven going to Japanese in heaven, what the heck we can do about it and forgot to sign the Peace Tree on the ship we got to forget about it and I John MacArthur he signed a peace treaty on the ship I forgot one thing today folks you know I forgot today today is December 7th the Japanese came after us at Pearl Harbour that's right Japanese we going to be nice to Japanese now it's time to do I know it's hard to do I salute is out the dentist Hershey this morning his father was there is Father's other job Plains coming over if I was there I will have her stuff up and having sweet Japanese going to come home and get it on the street on the ship we got to forget about it no oh my God he signed the peace treaty on the ship I said John oh my God then I'm driving I got it no friends with Japanese we got them back
This is one of the greatest love songs of all time and only made it to number 19 on the billboard top 100, In 1964, If it came out today it would have billions of viewers.
In 1967, Jerry stopped by our radio station in SLC to visit. He invited us to join him that afternoon at the club where he'd be rehearsing for his appearance that night. We did and In between songs he visited with us and told some great stories. I'm still a big fan. Thanks Jerry for so many great musical memories!
Jerry, you were such a great singer. I love your How The Time Flies, There She Goes, On A Merry Go Round, Shutters And Boards, Auf Wiedersehn, If You Leave me Tonight I Will Cry, and this song just to mention a few.
+lanny ross, I second that emotion. Amen, someone still loves this kind of music. Thank God, and thank you. Now I know I am not the only one. All who still loves this music say. Amen. PS. May God bless and keep us all. Good night.
I was a musician at the Army/Navy Private club on Wheat St. In Columbia,SC in 1965...I remember the juke box playing Jerry Wallace's "Misty Monlight" on our breaks it was a great song both pop/country crossover tune.....
I met Jerry when he appeared at a night spot in SLC, UT in 1966. He dropped by my radio station and visited with us for about 90 minutes. I took in the show that night and chatted with him afterwards. Great guy, good voice, we sure could use his kind of music these days. Thanks for the music and memories, Jerry!
Dean Martin comes very close to matching Jerry's smooth singing style on his cover version of "Moonlight", but it still is indeed Jerry's song. He owns it.
Thank you so much. Had not heard this one in years. Used to shine shoes as a 7 year old in the many taverns in Chicago's Uptown community back when it was Hillbilly Heaven and Redskin Row. These great country songs would be playing on the jukebox. My mom would listen to WJJD in the kitchen. In those days, you had WLS top 40, WGRT Soul, Super CFL top 40, and WJJD country one after the other on the AM dial. Great music gone but not forgotten.
Cindy Walker 1918-2006, Country & Texas Hall of Fame, wrote this song. First success was Bing Crosby 1940 at only 22 when she walked into his studio. Her mother came with her, played the piano to do the demo. Mom remained her partner in writing poetry & music. They spent summer in Nashville promoting her songs to various artists. Jim Reeves also sang "In the Misty Moonlight". She never married but lived with Mom most of her life who was born before 1900 lived into her nineties dieing in 1991.
Jim Reeves was amazing. Still my favorite. He is still a big seller in India, South Africa, and the Nordic Countries. India has an annual Jim Reeves festival.
wow! i just happened upon this! my dad used to hmm this song ALL the time when i was a kid. oh, the memories! such a cute song! sigh! so lucky to have this time with my pop, now that i'm a man, and he's a grandpa.
Jerry Wallace ranks right up there with Jim Ed Brown, Brook Benton, and Jim Reeves in terms of possessing a voice of superla- tive tonal beauty. 👍👏👍👏👍👏😃
I know it came out in 64 but in 67 I bought a 8 track of his and this song was on it, I played so many times I wore the tape out, would love to get this on a CD now.
Let me try to post what I originally wanted to. When I was stationed in Tongduchon, Korea in 1966-67, this song echoed through the narrow dirt streets of the village by the record shops. I had a beautiful girlfriend in such a faraway place. Hearing this song anyday, takes me back to Korea and great memories. Thank you Jerry Wallace. Steve Holinka of Jersey City
Jerry was a Missouri boy that made good. My favorite song of his has always been " To Get To You". Loved seeing him play that double necked guitar!!!! Mr. Mozarkie
@@joewallace8573 is the song referred to here "To Get To You" on utube? (How bout a website or Blog site, like "friends of Glen")...and what is a lyric harp?
I commented before, but again, it takes me back to Korea in 1966-67 on my first overseas tour. Some of the scenery shown in this video resembles the Korean landscape. Wish I could go back 50+years in time.
You mean TUNESMITH; however, this word is a synonym for a songwriter, rather than a vocalist which Jerry was. I am unaware of him actually writing any songs. Peace.😊 😄😃😄😄😃
On this day in 1964 {September 5th} Jerry Wallace performed "In The Misty Moonlight" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand... At the time the song was at #22 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, the following week it would peak at #19 {for 2 weeks} and it spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #35 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... Four years later in 1968 Dean Martin covered it; his version peaked #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Singles chart Between 1958 and 1972 Jerry Wallace had thirteen records on the Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, "Primrose Lane", it peaked at #8 {for 3 weeks} on October 26th, 1959... Starting in 1965 he had thirty-four records on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, four made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry", for 1 week on August 20th, 1972... Jerry Wallace passed away at the age of 79 on May 5th, 2008... May he R.I.P.
I was listening to an oldies station while riding in the car today and they played this great song that i hadn't heard in over 40 yrs. I couldn't wait til i got home to see if it was posted on U-Tube and hoped i could remember the name of it when i got there. thanks for posting it.
@@guyphoto9437 i know this is a very late response...I didn't even see your comment. I respect you tremendously. I served my country from 1999-03 (right out of highschool) It would of been an honor to of served right beside you in those jungles ✌
Joseph Wallace Wow! It's an honor. Thank you for checking in. The interesting thing is that I am 62 and despite growing up listening to MOR radio, never heard this song until I was listening to a local station carrying the Westwood One nostalgia feed perhaps 10 years ago. They played both your father's version and Dean Martin's.
I'm beginning to think that the reason they don't have music like this anymore is because it has just been set aside for the ones that lived in the time or enjoyed music in that time. Somewhere the mold got broke and a new generation was formed but could never crack the code to the best music ever. not only the music but the cars, the dress. We were a different class back them and it don't look like it will ever be copied.
If I were to list my ten favourite songs from 1964, this song would be included - and that's saying something, considering all the great songs that came out that year. Off the top of my head, I'd have to add Elvis' "It Hurts Me," Roy Orbison's "It's Over," Gene Pitney's "I'm Gonna Be Strong," the DC5's "Because," Jerry Butler & Betty Everett's "Let It Be Me," the Beatles' "Slow Down," the Everly Brothers' "Gone, Gone, Gone," the Rivieras' "California Sun," and the Kink's "You Really Got Me."
That snow capped mountain peak shown at 2:05 is Ama Dablam, elevation 22,349 in the Himilaya range of eastern Nepal, near Khumbu. Considered to be a holy mountain, it was not successfully ascended until 1961 after climbing restrictions were removed.
This was my husband and my favorite song. We were married in 1964.
Music from this era never dies.
I was 12 yrs old in1964 and had a transistor radio I took to bed and listened until the station signed off at midnight.
I remember the day my mama bought this record. I was 7 years old. Hearing it again brings back good memories of those times.
Dad loved this one thinking of mom. Beautiful song.
Same with Dad. He loved Mama so much. He only needed her.
@@sondrasmith2691 Good moms are special .
My dad's favorite too. He loved my mom even when they divorced.
one of the greatest! no question about it!
Jerry Wallace in numbered with those who knew how to sang country music.Those days
are over now(sad to say) with few that still remain.
Virgil Hicks w
we need more music like this on our radio stations
How True it is
This has to be one of the most awesome love songs ever, sung by a Master!
That's my dad

Thanks so much for posting this beautiful song, i was then 18 years when it came out, now my time is slowly running out on this earth.

The answer: Bow-wow, yeah-yeah, It's headed to the kernel to join the dogs in barking (in the name of singing)...

Jerry Wallace's Version Of This Song Went To Number 19 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1964.
Jerry's voice is so identifiable, very mellow, very easy to listen to and feel like the world is going to be okay after all.

@Ronald Solberg
Ronald, I couldn't agree more. BTW, did you know that the original last name of the singer\actor David Soul was Solberg? Any relation?
No. I did know of the man I believe his wife died from catching aids thru a blood transplant. Such a shame.
It might. Trends go around and around.
This is simply the best !
This is exactly how I feel about my husband. I love him beyond measure
