      Just as we have a lot of ingrate punks attending college who think they have all the answers and we're a bunch of racist bumpkins, they think their "music" is legit, when we who had the privilege of growing up in the 60s and 70s know better. The proliferation of talent in those years was breathtaking and the messages they sent were cogent and spoke to a generation. Since music today is all pirated the only way performers can stay relevant is to go on tour and let autotune handle the voices and instruments and what comes out is rap -- with violent, misogynistic, gang-banger lyrics that don't speak of love, don't speak of peace, don't speak of aspiring to something better -- just criminality and treating other humans like a piece of meat. Small wonder we're circling the drain.

After music she went on to act (stage, TV, film) and became an author of plays, books and articles covering a wide range of topics. It was a privilege to have met her.

      Unfortunately THIS current generation has chosen instead to listen to a bunch of Marxist college professors shovel crap into their young skulls of mush by the bushel; and they eat it up like it was written on stone tablets. I remember a generation whose youth was just as arrogant -- the Baby Boomers who came into the world right after WWII and entered college 18 years later -- in the 1960s.
      Here's the difference -- back then you had SOME politicians who genuinely put country first and party second, and eventually the cream would rise to the top. Our current crop of politicians are bereft of integrity and know less about the constitution they swore an oath to defend than I do, because public schools stopped teaching civics as a stand-alone curriculum over 50 years ago. The combination of gullible students and two corrupt political parties rife with politicians who think they're our _rulers,_ not _servants,_ has us tetering on the precipice.
      I'd love nothing more than to subject Gen-Z to 10,000 hours of listening to 60s and 70s music and see if they don't come out of it feeling like perhaps they're not as woke as they think they are. Can't do much about the current crop of politicians if We The People aren't going to do _our_ job and elect competent people to office. No amount of 60s music gonna fix _that._

Just now while watching the credits I saw Gale Garnett, and wondered is she That famous singer with a beautiful soulful voice? I found she had many talents in life, singing (this was her biggest hit - oh I loved this song!), acting in 11 movies, and a number of TV shows including Hawaiian Eye twice. Very talented and attractive lady at the time and I believe still alive at 79. If this isn't in my song collection I'll have to add it. What a beautiful voice she had!

      My dad and I had many meals at the Red Wagon Wheel diner in the mid 60s, where I'd always hear this song on the jukebox. We must've looked like some Normal Rockwell painting.

      John on wifes computer Was in the Coast Guard on a lifeboat station in St, Joseph, Michigan when this song first came out. Remember playing cards, drinking coffee and always listening to this song playing on the radio in the background during our breaks twice a day. Loved this song to this day! A real classic that takes me back to those memorable times.

    I met a young lady, Darla Edwards at Lake Wakandau while going to college in Canton, Missouri in 1964. This song reminds me of her. I will never forget her. Fresh out of high school and lost my high school ring in that lake. We wrote each other for awhile after that summer. Fond memories.

    Listening in 2021. None of these oldies get boring to listen to. I’ve been listening to them since I was about 10 and now I’m 28

    So lucky to be born in 1955 and listen to awesome music for decades. I took all the music for granted then but now I treasure and cherish these songs.

    Have loved this song. Since I first heard it. Still listen to it almost daily after 50 years.
