Best known for her breathy, little-girl singing voice, Sue Thompson had several novelty pop hits in the early '60s before reinventing herself as a more mature country singer in the mid-'70s. Thompson was born Eva Sue McKee in Nevada, MO, in 1925 and was singing cowgirl songs and playing guitar on-stage by the age of seven. After her family moved to San Jose, she appeared on the local Hometown Hayride TV show during her teens. She worked in a defense plant during World War II, then married and had a daughter at age 20; however, the marriage lasted only three years, and she subsequently returned to performing in northern California clubs. Her winning performance at a San Jose talent contest caught the attention of singer Dude Martin, who was also a bandleader and radio/TV host. Martin invited her to join his band and became her husband not long after; the two recorded some duets, and "If You Want Some Lovin'" helped Thompson land her first solo deal with Mercury. Meanwhile, Martin added singer/comedian Hank Penny to his revue in 1952; within a year, Thompson divorced Martin and married Penny, and the two hosted a TV show in Los Angeles for two years before moving to Las Vegas to work the casinos. They recorded separately and together for Decca but failed to land any major hits.
Thompson signed with Hickory Records in 1960 and landed two Top Five pop hits the following year with the John D. Loudermilk-penned novelty tunes "Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)" and "Norman." Two more Loudermilk numbers, 1962's "James (Hold the Ladder Steady)" and 1965's "Paper Tiger," brought her further success. During this era, Thompson played effectively to the teen audience thanks to her cute, extremely young-sounding voice, despite the fact that she was pushing 40. She recorded sporadically through the remainder of the '60s, without finding similar success. In 1972, she teamed up with country singer Don Gibson for three duet albums over the next two years; some of their songs charted respectably, in particular "I Think They Call It Love" and "Oh, How Love Changes." Thompson also managed a few solo hits during this period, the biggest of which was "Big Mable Murphy." Her last chart single came in 1976 with "Never Naughty Rosie," and she subsequently concentrated on the Las Vegas casino circuit. She remarried once again and later moonlighted as an MC at North Hollywood's famed Palomino Club for a time. She settled in Las Vegas permanently and performed from time to time in the '90s.

I Love These Oldies
2021. Belize
I was in my early teens in 1962 and, baby, was it grand! Oh, how I ache for those olden days. I was HAPPY. I knew in my heart things were going to be the same for all my life. Then, I grew up. Life slapped me in the face. I experienced things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I'm getting old, bitter, cynical and sick. Like Steve McQueen* said-"what happened; WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" I miss those days. As Mr/Ms Grules already said-"what a sweet time in history". * The Sand Pebbles last line.
Lol
Indeed
How r u today lol
Hello
At 73, I record and watch old movies from the movie channel. If it was made after 1965, I think about it long and hard by record it. When my wife asked why I watch these old movies, especially the ones from the 40s and 50s? My response is, “Things were normal back then.” The ending of Shane still makes me tear up. It’s too long to go into, but the child in me identifies with that kid.. To top it off, go to IMDB and read about the sad life of that young actor.
I was surprised at myself that I still remembered all the words and tune; I'm 70 yrs young, lol.😊❤
Im 20 years old loving this song 2024🔥
When I was a kid, I didn't realize how heartbreaking this song is.

Hard to believe this beauty of a talent is 90 years old.

Update: We have sadly lost this beauty of talent in 2021.
some of us never get over disloyalty. it hurts
That’s the truth!!
2020 and this song does still tear up my eyes.

I suffered my 1st broken heart when this was in the charts. Honestly I thought I would never live/love again. His name was William. Now here I am about to celebrate my 40th wedding anv with two wonderful grown up sons & my husband who happens to be Murray , not Willam..Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
Should the planet ever rid itself of songs let this one survive...
Sue Thompson has left the stage.
July 19, 1925--September 23, 2021. One of the truly good people I have known and called my friend for 57 years.
Me...... Susie was my cousin. Her mother and my grandmother were sisters. When I was a little girl I idolized her and I always loved her music. I remember being in the living room pretending I I was her I idolized her
My grandpa played this when we were in the car and went to change it because he thought I wouldn't like it and I asked him to turn it back on. This is now my favorite song.
One of them 100%
Lovely story
Me too

Thankyou Grandma and Grandpa for playing this for me throughout my childhood
i used to listen to this when I was young.. this is my mom's fave
Same, I really miss being a kid.
i know what you mean
Jamie grace
My moms fave too
I always thought it was a kid sang this song when I was little
It's 2023 and my 4 year old daughter really loves singing this song. 🥰
As a Songwriter from Australia Absolutely Inspirational Loved Nashville when there in 2018
My mom used to sing me love songs from the 50s & 60s when I was a little girl and couldn't fall asleep at night. And for some reason THIS song always seemed the saddest. Especially when the girl tells her mom a white lie that she's crying about a sad movie instead of her heartbreak. My mom's been gone over 6 years now and I have never been able to listen to ANY of those old love songs without feeling like I was just gonna cry a river. Tonight was the first time I listened to this song in forever...💔 I still hear my mom's sweet voice when I hear these lyrics & I always will. ❤️
Her signature song and my number one favorite from this talented lady.My opinion the best country singer that I ever heard beside Patsy Cline.I was so happy.
My grandma's favourite!💚
I'm 63. You do the math. I remember this song while I was a child driving in my father's truck. What a memory of my past.
One of my party songs in the good old days😊
I love listening to classic songs like this, thanks to my Dad.

It's my Mom's favorite song. Brings back memories of her.
Here in 2023
I am probably alot younger than you would expect for someone to like this music (born in 1962) grew up listening to Sue Thompsons at my aunts house on 45's....my favorite was Red Hot Henrietta Brown. I used to sing it for my boys and act silly for them when they were young. Oh wow the memories.....Thanks for making me smile.
Hello Peggy, How are you doing?
Who's still jamming this in 2022🥰😍
This was a big hit when I was a teenager and I always remember this little cutie with a little girls voice. Well into her 90's when she past away
Мне 68.Sue Thompson я впервые услышал может с год назад убежден, что ОНА придет в жизнь снова. Я люблю тебя!!!
Omg my aunt taught me this song when I was about 10 ( a lifetime ago). I wish she was still with us to share this with her. On the flip side of the "45" was a song called Norman. Great tune as well.
Wow Real Nice Plenty off (Hurtful Memories ) A Very Big Thank You...!!
@@jaipersauddas8075 no prob dickhead! I aim to please. 💩
I never knew “Norman” was
on the flip side........ she had a two-sided hit then!

This song is legendary
This song reminded of when I heard it with my Dad.
How about July 2023, I was about13 when I first heard this song, loved it ever since.
For the first time i heard this song... My mumma told me to hear it.. Damn! It got back so many memories 🥺
What makes me cry is that there are no songs like this these days. I love the music my parents loved. Born too late for great music like this ... mucho regretto.
Remember my oldest sister singing this to me when she came in from work. She told me years later I wouldn't go to sleep until she sang it to me
Mighty fine song miss thoes days
I love her songs,made my high school very enjoyable.
The first time I listened to Sue Thompson and her songs was in early 1960's when We were in Thaland training on civil aviation! Time flies and so sweet are those memories! Loving you Sue!
I vividly remember this song, as I was in my early teens then! I loved her singing and the song, but it made me sad, too!!!
Just got out of a sad movie with our grandchildren where the leading actor died in the end and I cried. Beck in the van, played this song to them. Date 12/30/22
Sure this song reminds me of my teen years when this song hit the charts. Absolutely timeless.
Brings back fond memories

This was my generation. Have danced many a time to this one. Loved it then and still do. I still sing it in the shower. Thanks for the memories Sue. Love ya'.
My grandma used to sing this to me when i was a child, to the point i remembered every word. Stumbling upon this again after many years is one of the best things that ever happened to me.
This song still now is nice to listen. From my younger days...
I was a teenager in the 60s when this came out I still like the song.
I remember singing this song as a child and having so much fun, as I sang the lyrics. I am now 23 years old and can now fully appreciate this song due to knowing the real meaning and purpose behind every word.
Wonderful well written and performed song. Sue did this so well. How I wish the music world was still this good, I could cry.
Heard this song on an 8 hr road trip, my brother in law was driving and my son was in the back. The pure harmony woke me out of rem sleep and I stayed up the rest of the way off the frequency it gave me
Who’s still listening to this 2021❤️
Songs like these make me think of my father who passed away.
I love that song
I am..still listening
I haven't heard this song in about 40 years and I'm only 47 years young. Memories of long, long ago In A Very Different Type Of World Than Today.
RIP
Ms. Rosie Espinoza and
Carol Tigueros I Love You Both...

Even though I wasn't born those years, this song represents how beautiful to live those days. I really envy my parents..they witnessed and experienced living a simple life.
