Way back in 1978, growing up on a farm called SaamWerk..not too far from a small town call Warmba/Warmbaths now known as Bela Bela.. attending a mud farm school called Moheme . this song echoed through the airwaves of radio SAUK {SABC} Springbook. I use to read an Afrikaans magazine called Huisgenoot, that my grand mother bring from the Farm house of Menner Olbeerson {not too sure about the spelling}.such a nice kind hearted short man..he loved his menthol snuff. Few years ago I took my sons to see the place, to my happy surprise the house and the dam that my grand father build was still standing..I went through mixed emotions as the new owner allowed us to walk through the farm. I asked him how much will he sell the farm......"I have to rob the bank" Till now I can't stop thinking of that. Thank you Dave Loggin.....not forgetting the song 'Three Little Words".

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I loved this song !

Beautiful song Bill Anderson

They were hyped for sure. Energy abound! TY for sharing!

Quite a contrast from how this station sounded just two years earlier. Music way mellowed

Fantastic

I miss u dad❤❤❤

I worked with Jim doing Mid-Days at WBSR from 1971-73, in fact, I was 'Best Man' at Jim's wedding to his wife Porsha(sp) in 1972. I was then known as 'Scott Morgan' & moved to become Program Director/Morning Drive at WDLP in Panama City, Fla. - I lost touch with Jim in 1974 when I moved to KAAY/Little Rock (as Steve Scott) doing 8pm-11pm. - By then Jim was on-the -air in Louisville, Ky. I was doing mornings at WABB-FM in Mobile, Ala. in 1985 & both of us having moved back to the Gulf Coast, we became reacquainted & reminisced about 'The Good-Olde-Days' at WBSR.

Like if you heard this on Paramount’s Corporate S2e02: The Concert (0:07:20)

i like this video a great deal

I love the beat of this song ,!

simple but very pretty. \RIP sweet lady

❤❤ loving it

I always liked the Joe South version of this song, but those that say the arrangements of all three of Lynn Anderson's (Rose Garden, How can I unlove You and Fool Me) South tunes were absolutely more commercial. Joe South almost always arranged his tunes,(like Billy Joe Royals Down in the Boondocks) in a way that kinda skipped any kind of steady simple guitar rhythm track, I think it was the way Joe South played guitar always something other than just chords. I talked to one studio guitar player once and that is what he notice about many of Joe Souths own records, saying they may have just cut out the simple rhythm tracks so the guitar playing sounded complicated on the final records but maybe sang to the simple rhythm well recording?

“The states” from Hampton roads also did this song

Linda always did great covers of Neil Young songs. This one, Birds, I Believe in You, After the Gold Rush.....how many know Linda and James Taylor did harmony on Heart of Gold? Linda also does the back up vocals for her version here of Look Out for My Love.

Dobie fantastic singer

❤

I'am listening Nov.2023. Pat Travers is a legend, most young people don't even know who Pat is. Trust me, he is a killer !!!!!

2:17

I found the song before forward the Christmas music on the radio because I taped recorded forward.

Hey, I was there! Looked for myself in the crowd, but I guess was just so young, I didn't even recognize me. LOL Thanks, though, that was a blast from the past. If you have any more from more Springfests, please upload them! That was awesome.

At 16 I went on my first holiday without mum and dad at Butlin’s at Skegness, Ian and the Zodiacs were the resident band, they were amazing, doing all the latest covers including Beatles, great, great band.

well, you were right. one of my favorites

Anybody know of him ever doing this live??

Thank you sooo sweet of you very nice of you thank you GOD BLESS you now and forever amen.

My parent's had this record I have it now. I think Rick and Debbie were in the same religious denomination my parent's belonged too. They had a lot of records on the Majestic label, which was operated by the Church of God Of Prophecy. Still a groovy tune.

❤

Where can I get the Jimmy Stewart CD the best of. Get All excited and go tell everybody

Is Mr. Gene Cotton still around?? I fell in love with his music in my teens and it changed my life. I would so love to meet him in person. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❗️😊❗️

Thanks sir. Corporations gobbling up local radio stations has been a bitter pill to swallow. I will support local stations in any way I can. There is NO substitute.

Wonderful tune & lyrics. Wish I had the whole album.

Back in the 70s I was in my room, at my parents house listening to a small town local radio station smoking a joint and blowing it out the window and this beautiful song played. They never said who it was. There was no Soundhound or Shazam to look that stuff up back then. All I rememberd was Annabella please listen. I chased this song for years, until today. I’m 64 now so it’s been a minute. I LOVE CZcams!🎉❤🙃😜😎💙🥳💛😭😳🤗🧡😱😰🤭🫣💚💝

I loved him, probably still do on some level.

Thanks for the memories! Loved WBSR 1450 AM

I absolutely love this song! I heard it back in the '80s when I was a teenager and I never knew who sang it until about 5 years ago. Thank you so much for posting this it is more than appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

Do you think he's referring to Jesus?

Ooh! Love this song! Love miss Linda Ronstadt! She half Mexican and half White like my two nephews! Okaaaaay?!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋😊

Best version of this song imho.

I remember this song as a hit in 1966 I think Lol 👀🤔😎👽👍

I remember this song playing on the radio, but not sure what he was trying to say at the very end.

It's obviously very tongue in cheek. It plays much better now than it did when it was released.

No means no!

"It's not the inches it's the engineer"

Love your story and video and thanks for posting the song! Gene is a family friend and an all around amazing legendary man. You can hear three of his songs including Passion Through in our documentary about Jim Varney and Ernest linked below. m.czcams.com/video/05htV4farRw/video.html

Long live Sonny Curtis! Most underrated, singer song writer and guitarist, bar none!!
