This song was played at the conclusion of a funeral I attended recently of a man who had been married to his widow for 63 years. Thought it very appropriate that his funeral was their "Last Date" here on earth. When the lady pianist played it, the widow could not contain her composure. So touching and moving.
Grew up with my Mom listening to this music. Thank God I was exposed to such great music when I was a kid. Today’s generations don’t appreciate REAL TALENT
I grew up in love with Floyd Cramer's every song. What a surprise to see his legend is alive and well in his grandson, Jason! Play on, Mr.Coleman, play on!
I heard Floyd Cramer play “Last Date” on tv back in the 70s when I was real young. I took my wife to Jason’s concert in Campbellsville, Ky a few yrs ago & we both fell in love with the song! Love to go to another concert when he goes back on the road again.
One of my absolute favorite songs on the piano. I just got my music books in the mail that I ordered from you. Can't wait to get started with them. This song is the whole reason I ordered them. I'm excited to try the other ones as well. This style of playing is so unique and beautiful. Thank you for continuing his legacy.
I'm transported to my childhood with my grandparents and memories so clear I can hug them again. I can hear the vinyl as it turns on their basement console stereo
Beautiful Jason, simply beauiful ! I was around when your grandpa came out with his version in 1960. Loved the instrumental then and even more so now with you playing it. Your Grandpa would be so proud ! Thank you Jason for continuing a legacy in music.
Jason, your talent is equal to that of your grandfather. Please never stop playing his music. I hope you even add to what he accomplished with new music. To lose this talent would be an absolute crime. Thank you and Floyd Cramer for hours of enjoyment and the memories of a time I hope wil never pass.
I put my own words to this when my dad was killed at work, I was in High School. I can't remember the words any longer except " oh daddy I'll miss you"
Jason you did Grand dad proud...he was the best, my late husband played this on our first date and I fell in Love that night...makes me sad to hear this but it brings back beautiful memories and I thank you.....my husband is gone now but I have these great memories.....
Beautiful!! You play that just like your grandfather did!! I would listen to Last Date years ago, when i was a teenager!!! I still love it just as much today!!!! Thank you Jason Coleman!!
This was my parents' favorite song. On this, their 57th wedding anniversary, I had to listen to this song in their memory. Thank you and beautiful job!
I have been a Floyd Cramer fan since I was a youngster. Both of my kids and both of my grand kids are too. I had never heard of Jason Coleman until about a year ago, one of his CD's came into the thrift store I was working in, in a donated estate. I bought it just because it was gospel music done on a piano. I was stunned by how much it sounded like Floyd Cramer! I took it to my daughters house so she could hear it and she made the same comment! She read the inside of the box and saw that you were his grand son!! What a blessing to have such a fantastic talent follow in your footsteps!! I will be looking for more of your music for sure! Thank you for being true to the legend your grandfather started!!!
Thank you so much Jason. It's so important that your grandfather's music and legacy be carried forward. I was almost afraid to listen to this most treasured song of my earliest memory and now I need fear no longer. The future is secure in your capable--and I mean that in only the most superlative way--hands, and heart. May the joy you bring to people like me be returned to you a hundred-fold!
WOW!!!!!! I just happened to come across this so glad I did. I loved listening to Floyd Cramer play Last Date was my favorite. You play just like your grandfather. He would be very proud of you.
Thank you, Jason. I started playing your grandfather's song forty-eight or forty-nine years ago. And then it was the older ladies who liked it best, along with "Somewhere My Love," etc. So much better that you seek to keep both the song and grace note ("slip note") style of Floyd Cramer alive. It's fun playing other songs such as "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in that style, even though we can reproduce the original. Instrumentalists don't get the fame like crooners do. Your grandfather's music is a historic "landmark." All the best.
Well done!! I met your grandfather many year ago at a NAMM show in Ca. I believe he was promoting Pianodisc player pianos at that time! He was a very nice gentleman, and obviously an iconic pianist!!
Jason, You are wonderful and I would like you to know that your grandfather was the main influence in my pursuing the country piano style .I recall literally crying like a baby when he passed and my now ex wife not being able to concieve how I could cry over someone I did not personally know.... My answer, He is an ICON !!!
Dave "Baby" Cortez and Curiosity brought me... this was always the perfect song in my opinion. Floyd Cramer was a phenomenal musician, songwriter. Your rendition made me cry because there is nothing in my mind quite as moving as having one of your Grandchildren follow in your footsteps, so to speak. God Bless you Jason.
Oh WOW I remember how I loved Floyd's Piano playing. Specifically "Last Date" It just did something so special in my heart, to this day, I still cannot describe the exact emotion. Thanks so much!
I fell in love to this song! My husband had a tape of your grandfather’s music and played it on weekend dates. Beautiful music! And many lovely memories!Thank you for sharing your talent and your music with us today. God blessed!!! ❤️ Deb Maddox
I had been browsing and seen the piano duet with your grandfather and amazed at you talent at only 9 years old and had to search to see if you continued on....glad I did.
My favorite piano player sure taught his grandson well! You sound just like him, with a style of your own too. Thanks you for being able to capture his unique style that was so beautiful! God bless you!
This is a huge AMEN!! 2024!
Your grandfather would be so proud of you knowing you carried the legacy of his music forward
My mom could not read music but she played piano by ear and this was the best she played. We loved hearing mom play. R.I.P Mom, I love and miss you

Wow! You do your Grandpa proud. One of the best piano pieces ever written.
You, Jason Coleman, are your Grandfathers tribute...may you keep his songs alive!
TREEEEMENDOUS. .
My daughter played this on her cellphone for her Dad when he was in the Hospice home just days before he passed away. It was one of his favorites.
Certainly one of the most beautiful piano Melodie’s in contemporary music. Very emotional.
Loved this song when I was a kid, I'm 53 now and still love it.
You hear this song once and it's in your head forever. A real piece of work !
I flew for many with in my headset.....nothing like it Jason....keep the legacy going.

Thank you for playing this beautiful beautiful song. And played marvelously.
Thanks for keeping your Grandfather alive in his beautiful last Date. With us
When I was in 9th grade I played last date by Floyd cramer and won the high school talent show. Love Floyd Cramer.
One of my absolute favorite songs on the piano. I just got my music books in the mail that I ordered from you. Can't wait to get started with them. This song is the whole reason I ordered them. I'm excited to try the other ones as well. This style of playing is so unique and beautiful. Thank you for continuing his legacy.
This song will be played at my funeral in about 4 mounths.

I have all of Floyd Cramer's albums and I am so thrilled that he taught Jason that wonderful style. Love it

Floyd Cramer's last date was always my favorite, now I have another favorite
Wonderful! Sounds just like his Grandfather! A perfect tribute.
I put my own words to this when my dad was killed at work, I was in High School. I can't remember the words any longer except " oh daddy I'll miss you"
My first cousin's Dad was killed in March of 1953, in Korea. The son was 5 or 6 years old and the father's death left a scar that never healed.
Jason you did Grand dad proud...he was the best, my late husband played this on our first date and I fell in Love that night...makes me sad to hear this but it brings back beautiful memories and I thank you.....my husband is gone now but I have these great memories.....
Thank Jason for learning so well from your grandfather. Also for teaching your son the same legacy. Bless you.
You sound very interesting partial hope all is well with your family may God bless you
Beautiful!! You play that just like your grandfather did!! I would listen to Last Date years ago, when i was a teenager!!! I still love it just as much today!!!! Thank you Jason Coleman!!
This was my parents' favorite song. On this, their 57th wedding anniversary, I had to listen to this song in their memory. Thank you and beautiful job!
My FAVORITE of all Floyd Cramer songs,and I love them all.This song brings back soo many precious memory's of my teenage years!
I couldnt tell the difference---maybe its because this piano is your granddads--you really have learned from the best--------I love this

I love, love, love this! Sounds just like Floyd!❤
My Dad loved this song. I practically like this piano version, well done.
I grew up listening to this song. One of my mom's favorites and she would play the album over and over again. This sounds exactly like the original!!
I have been a Floyd Cramer fan since I was a youngster. Both of my kids and both of my grand kids are too.

What a legacy ! Could help to think about all the wonderful music he left behind and you are able to carry on this wonderful tradition.

Absolutely beautiful. So glad you decided to follow in your Grandfather's footsteps. God Bless. You have a new and lifelong fan.

If I ever learn to play the piano this will be the first song I play.
HOW SWEET IT IS!!! Glad that the music will live on..... Good job, Jason Coleman...
Love that song.
Fantastic! What a treat to hear your grandfather's wonderful song played by a later generation!
That was fantastic... Grandad would be very pleased.
My mother loved this song.... she requested it to be played at her funeral..... And so it was, not a dry eyeing the parlor......
We played this at my husband
S funeral. It’s bittersweet. Mostly sweet.❤
Well done!! I met your grandfather many year ago at a NAMM show in Ca. I believe he was promoting Pianodisc player pianos at that time! He was a very nice gentleman, and obviously an iconic pianist!!

i can't think of anyone better to play floyds music.
So thankful you are carrying on your Grsnfathers style of playing.

Floyd Cramer lives on in you his grandson. He is smiling down on you from Heaven
