American Bandstand 1968 - TOP 10 - Love Is Blue, Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra

- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- Airdate: February 17, 1968
Here’s a “pretty song” to cap off a chaotic year just as it began the chaotic year of 1968. Mauriat’s cover of “L' Amour est bleu” is at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the 2nd of 5 weeks in a row today. The song will go on to be the #2 song of 1968 (“Hey Jude” was #1) and the 12th most popular song of the decade.
While it seems some of the dancers are struggling a bit to dance to it, I think Famous Hooks & Jenny Nichols (1:16) and Don Sanuskar & Maureen Cohen (shown briefly on the right at 1:29) have the right idea partner dancing to the song. Also spotted dancing here are Peggy Waggoner & (her then-boyfriend) Mark Reinglass (0:32), Rick Bach (1:25), Stan Soburn (1:31), Forrest Hutchins (2:01), Sondra Gomez (2:15), Theodosia Dayton (2:42) and Roberta Simon on the top riser.
Love is blue: a toast to all those who didn’t make it to 2022 with us including 60’s artists Michael Nesmith, Billy Hinsche, Keith Allison, Charlie Watts, Jay Black, Don Everly, B.J. Thomas, Wanda Young (Marvelettes) and Mary Wilson (…and Phil Spector :|)
This’ll wrap it up for 2021. Thank you to @dancer don, our resident Bandstand dancer, for all of his insights and comments, @Andrew Haberman for colorizing several clips and episodes, @jthyme for sharing several of these episodes (including the one today), Uncle George for the rare video clips he’s shared, and to all of YOU for your views, likes, and comments this year. I hope you’ve enjoyed watching as much I’ve enjoyed posting.
Have a Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe, keep on dancin’, and I’ll see you in '22!
I was 8 yrs. old and clearly remember my Dad putting this 45 on the cabinet turntable and twirling my mom around the floor and laughing Miss you Mom and Dad.
I miss mine too and sometimes I listen to some of their music and I cry, miss them terribly. 😢
I'm so sorry your parents have passed. Mine are 82 and still going strong! I have the exact same memory of them dancing to that song!
Same
What a beautiful memory
Same with me.
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to the summer of 1968 sitting in the back seat of my dad's metallic light blue Cadillac convertible (top down), with my Mom and Dad (pre-divorce) in the front seat on our way to the Kansas City Plaza, with this song playing through the car's stereo complete with back seat "reverb speaker". A time and a song I hold dear to me.
I was 18 in '68 and I loved the song. An older friend had a crash pad for all the kids. He wired a small radio to speakers all over his house and it sounded like a concert hall. I heard this song and thought it beautiful.
I was 18 in ‘68 & so loved this 🎵 🎼song 🎶🎼 myself! This song tugs at my heart each & every time I hear it!🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼
I was 18 in 1968 just graduated from high school. The 60s were the best. No music era like late 50s and 60s. All the young people watched Band Stand. Thanks for memory lane.
ano i u nás v Československu bylo najednou tolik kapel a volnosti, než přišli cizí armády 21. 8. 1968 a svobodu zničily... malá ukázka hudby z té doby: ísně z muzikálu. Kdyby tisíc klarinetů, kde se vojákům zbraně změní na hudební nástroje a místo bojů se hraje a zpívá...... jak dnes aktuální.... czcams.com/video/1m0swQl5Zko/video.html czcams.com/video/PKvsWdjH2i4/video.html
I remember when this song went to # 1. Never thought people danced to it, just a relaxing tune enjoyed by all ages.
exactly....some songs just were not meant to dance to, but lovely just the same
the kids even looked a bit confused. Personally I would have done a slow cha cha to it myself!
@@jenniferdjaslowskj993 Most of the kids looked unsure how to dance to it. I remember this beautiful song well. My 7th grade crush, Sara Greenwood, invited me to her Dance Class. We had a wonderful time. I didn't step on her toes. This song I think went best with fluid swoopy waltzy moves; and so fit the 'traditional' Dance Class well.
It's one of the most beautiful melody. It takes me back to my childhood years It reminds me of my dad as well. Pure heavenly music. Thanks for posting
I so agree with you Luis! It is indeed pure heavenly 🎵🎼 music 🎶 🎵!!!!
@@karenstrycharz1499 Merry chritsmas

@@karenstrycharz1499 Thanks a lot . You too.
"Love is Blue" is one of my favorites from '68, a nice diversion from all the nastiness that's going on and still lies ahead for us. Famous and Jenny are showing us some of the moves that won them the dance contest a few weeks earlier. As I am writing this, the Decades network is paying tribute to Mike Nesmith with its weekend Monkees binge. My favorite songs from him are "You Just May Be the One" and "Listen to the Band". A talented musician and a fine deadpan comic. We just lost Joe Simon who was mainly a '70s artist but got his start in the '60s. Finally, best wishes to everyone during the holidays.
I'm also watching decades tribute to Mike Nesmith so sad my favorite song he wrote is Different drum recorded by Linda Ronstadt . Mike and the Monkees were so underrated , such a big part of our childhood those were the days I miss them !
Merry Christmas 🎄 & Happy New Year 🎈 to you too! How I loved this 🎶 🎵song🎼🎵🎶 might I also add & I “still do!” Beautiful 🎹song 🎵 t🎼 and so romantic to 💃 🎵dance 🎼🎶too!♥️
🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶
The couple with the last with looong blonde hair? I saw week 1, but not the subsequent ones.
My favorite song from my favorite year’68. Look how the kids tried to dance to it compared to the other songs on that top 10 list. I was 11 y.o.
On April 3, 1968 for my 7th birthday I received the #1 45 and pop hit record "Love is Blue" by Paul Mauriat and his orchestra (of which I requested) as I was already a big fan of the music of the day listening to WKNR AM (Keener13) when I could. I was also a big fan of the American Breed hit "Bend Me Shape Me" but hadn't thought about requesting it for my birthday. I still have the record.
@@yossarian6799 Hush by Deep Purple another classic I agree !
"Love is Blue" 1968, I was 13 yrs old and I loved this song and a cute young lady
Those kids sure didn't seem to like it. They actually were trying not to move. Love Is Blue was a lovely and easy song to dance to. Hard to believe after watching a performance like this American Bandstand lasted 30 years.
@kentduryea7109 Yes, it's a beautiful song to "Slow Dance," too.
It's interesting that only 3 or 4 couples are "partner" dancing to this song. If this song had been played on the show just 3 or 4 years earlier, I'm sure everyone would've been dancing cheek to cheek.
Good point. In my opinion there are several songs in Philly that they should’ve done “individual dancing” and several later songs ,like this, that called for couples dancing…but then, what do I know, lol.
@@YCDTI I couldn't help but laugh a little, while reading the comments about this being a difficult song to dance to. Afterall, it's a walk in the park compared to dancing to Thunderball...Do you think I've milked that Thunderball joke enough? 😂
@@oldiesgeek454 Thinking the same thing oldies geek .Your right on with that being a walk in the park.
@@gregmoore7709 👍😉
@@YCDTI I thought the same thing. This segment had an odd opening. Some of the kids sat it out & others were trying to find a partner & danced solo. And for the most part it seemed that many of the kids looked tired or apathetic while dancing. But, props to Famous & his partner to show how it should be done. Famous seemed to put a little oomph in his dancing, not for the cameras but smooth confidence.
Just a innocent story of my memory of this incredibly memorable classic..when it came out I was 14..when I first heard it I fell in love with it, rushed out and bought the 45..played it over and over again..and when alone, call me silly, but I would dance, or try to, like a ballerina.. I would imagine dancing in front of a audience as I danced and would slowly make my turns to the music..and I swear I could see their faces and all .. even at the ending would bow as gracefully as i could to my make-believe audience..what a magical time that was ..❤🕊️🌌❤
All extremely lucky to be young in 1968. Just look at them!
As long as you were not drafted!!
Except to fight in Vietnam, let's be real here
We were really "cute" kids back then! Raised on a farm, I remember that we (teenagers) always had to dress for going out, especially if trying to make a good impression on one's Sweetheart. That is the way it was, politeness and respect were taught at home, school, church, and by the community. Peace be with you all and Happy Holidays, Ciao, L
Love is blue is the best instrumental of all time.
@@dougtupay9723 I absolutely agree completely with you! I feel the same exact way! “Merry Christmas 🎄 & Happy New Year!”
No twerking, kids.
@@karenstrycharz1499 Hi Karen, well, I am a bit late but your kind wishes (Christmas & New Year) are in line with the way we use to treat, respect, help one another in my youth. Peace be with you and thank you for your kind wishes, Ciao, L
I remember I was 8 when this came out and I used to hum to it all the time.
Now, you can sing it.
😊
Love Is Blue (L’Amour est bleu) Lyrics
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world since I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Ah, love this Melody. Its so relaxing, especially on a Blustery Saturday at my digs. In light of that, my spidey senses are telling me their wont be another posting for a while, so Merry Christmas to all, have a safe and Happy Holiday wherever you all might reside.
Your spider sense is spot on, lol. Time for a little Holiday break. Have a Merry, and I’m sure very white, Christmas Andrew.
@@YCDTI Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a great big thanks to both you and Andrew for all the work you've done bringing us these wonderful videos. 😊🎄🎉
@@YCDTI In that case Aaron hope your family and all your Bandstand followers have a safe and best Christmas ever. P.S.don't forget too shut off all toys before you wrap them. It only took my wife and i since 1978 to realize we don't need to hear a monster truck starting up for some ghostly reason at 2 AM..lol
@@oldiesgeek454you are most welcome!
@@gregmoore7709 solid advice! 😂😂😂
I was 9 when this was done and I remember this song. LOVED seeing Judy Strode and Famous Hooks dipping and moving so eloquently on the dance floor as usual. Barely got to see Dancer Don with the plad jacket on but he was way in the background doing his thing, couldn't see who he was dancing with though ☮️‼️ LOVE THESE Mid 60's video footage, they're the BEST ‼️
@Annah Shoffner That was the "dark haired" Maureen Cohen he was dancing with.
@@oldiesgeek454 thanks 👍🏽
@@annahshoffner1871 Annah , I also got a glimpse of Don who was right in style for the time . I was short and looked horrible in plaid shirts and also pants, so i hated them but wore them because it was the style lol. Who would have thought i would see them again on my grand kids..
What a great time to be a music lover . The '60s brought forth countless classic tunes in the genre of pop/ rock and R&B .
I was 7 years old but my musical tastes were most influenced by my older siblings
This instrumental masterpiece is a National Treasure! And to hit #1 speaks volumes to the other popular songs charting in 1968. I grew up listening to Love Is Blue and have been ever since. The violins portion is as beautiful as it gets.
I think we all learned to play this on the piano during this time! Lol. What great memories! I had the 45
Thank 😊 you sir for another great ab upload. This is very special to me. I live only 20 minutes were the tornados 🌪 hit one week ago. People have had it a lot worse then myself. My electric and internet has been restored after 5 days. I know people around here just a little bit up the road still with no power. This Christmas I'm thankful to be alive. And thank you sir again for ab upload. May God bless you sir.
I’m so sorry for you and the people in your community Jim. God bless.
@@YCDTI thank you sir and merry Christmas to you.
Soooo sorrry for what you & the whole community have had to go through! Prayers & love to you all! May God Bless you & the whole community, along with everyone reading this post! My heart goes out to you all!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I loved the way Mad Men used this song during the final scene of the episode set during MLK's assassination. Don Draper is on his balcony looking out at the city as riots break out on the streets. It was the perfect juxtaposition of civil strife and beautiful music, a lot like 1968 itself. I was 6 in 1968 but I remember RFK's and MLK's assassinations very clearly.
This song was my brother's favorite song when he was a kid. I liked it too but my favorite tune was "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
I always loved this song! Brings back so many childhood memories, #1 in 1968, I was 7 years old when it came out!
I never heard this song. I was in Vietnam at the time. I do like it. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all. 2021
Thank You for Your Service
Thank-you sincerely for your service too! Merry Christmas 🎄 Happy New Year 🎊 to both you “Do Tell” & to everyone reading this post December 22, 2021! May God Bless you all!♥️
You're welcome 😀 merry Christmas and Happy New year to you too.
What were you hearing over there? Jimi Hendrix?
Such a beautiful song and a classic. Reminds me of my cousin who had all these 45s rpm. I was born in 69' and have her records now.
An oldie but goodie.....but not too great to dance to!
Oh my, DC was so handsome. We never missed a show!
Happy Holiday to all.
XXX.
This was just a week (and a few days) from when I entered this world..... My #1 birth song.....thanks for posting
What a great birth song! Mine is Lionel Richie's "Truly" in December 1982.
Pretty amazing that this was a #1 song on the pop charts (top 40).
It's been a nice year on this channel if not anywhere else. Love Is Blue was one of those songs you liked if you were a "hip" kid but you didn't admit to your friends.
Feb '68 - both MLK and RFK were still alive when this was broadcast. All the optimism of america's youth would be gone in just a few months.
I want to go back to 1968, 2022 sucks.
Remember having the 45 of this classic instrumental.
Good Saturday to you and yours. Wonderful piece to close out 2021. Agreed, a very few got it and slow danced to it while the rest couldn't figure it out. Thanks for doing all this and making this an oasis from the troubled world. Keep up yhe good work Aaron. Don, thanks for your insight on these clips as well as Peggy's insights as well. Missed seeing her on these comments. Thanks for all the others that have brought obscure clips, some colorized. Most of all, everyone have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year as later today we will have an early Christmas with our new granddaughter. Take care and peace!
The AB dancers and other teens on Dick Clark's set looked kind of bored, and had a little trouble dancing to "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat. But, I love this clip, and "Love Is Blue" is my favorite instrumental of all time! What a great record!!
It is my very favorite 🎹 instrumental 🎼🎶 of all time, too! Love, love, love this instrumental! Sooooo heavenly!
🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼
My mum had this on 45, one of many
That was some pretty interesting dancing there.
Nobody was expecting to dance to a slow number where you should actually be touching your partner.
This was my mothers favorite song when I was 1 year old and when I started the video of American Bandstand I began to cry because I miss my nom so much but as I watched the AB dancers moving to it it made me smile and laugh. Thank You for taking me back to 1 year old.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I didn't know you could dance to this song but ok.
But I am happy it held the top spot in the billboard!
This song is a Masterpiece!
Always loved this song and smooth to dance.
That girl with the long sandy hair parted in the middle. What a goddess in 1968.
These kids dancing are all around 75 years old now!
Aaron thank you and please thank uncle George.Uncle George and his rare and great clip proves what i have said for years. The 60's and early 70's music was loaded with all kinds of great music on the rock and roll radio channels.Love Is Blue is a beautiful song.Well done...
One of my favorite songs. Splendid dancing inspires me to move.
Great clip, Aron! Hope to meet up with you in '22. And thanks for the "shout-out" from both Uncle George and myself. Definitely more to come!
Looking forward to it Gary! 👍
Hey Aaron! Man, when instrumentals could be hits! I always liked this song. It had the feel of, it could be a song from a movie, or used in a commercial. Lovely laid back feel, very airy & light. I remember first hearing this in the 90s on the oldies radio station here in NYC on a '68 countdown they were doing & it captured my attention. Great song, great dancing from the kids here as well. And what a diverse Top 10 on this episode, so many different artists & genres all in one countdown, never again to happen... maybe one day that diversity will come back to the charts. Hope all is well as always Aaron. Being essential workers like you & I is getting a little strange again. Stay safe buddy & thanks for this one!!!
I agree Kevin. Another great Top 10 list here. I’d heard “You” before, but I’m not as familiar with it as the other 9 (good song) All of the others are classic, household names.
Yeah, it feels like we are starting all over again with the virus. I’m optimistic that by next year this will all just be a bad memory. You stay safe too Kevin.
I soooooo love this one too & a huge Thank-you from me too! Loved your comment “THRUTHEALCOVE KC”, too might I add and I agree with everything you posted! Merry Christmas 🎄 & Happy New Year to you & everyone reading this post! God Bless!🎄
I believe this was the only number one hit from a French artist ever in the United States
Was just a kid in 68 listening to this on a Cape Cod beach. Still love it 🤗.
These young people ( born between 1949-1953) were living in a historic time.1968 is considered to be the most tumultuous year since the Civil War era.Riots, assassinations,the Vietnam war,protests... yet all they wanted was just to live their lives,make the most of being young and enjoy good music
Possibly my favorite instrumental, thanks Aaron and Merry Christmas to all.
There may not be Saturday morning cartoons anymore like when many of us were younger, which made me very eager for that day. Nowadays, Aaron’s clips like this excellent one make me look forward to Saturday mornings all over again. Thank you, Aaron and happy holidays and happy new year to you and everyone!!
My favorite song
Dancing to this?Amazing.
So hilariously not a song to dance to on AB, and all of these kids knew it. Beautiful, beautiful instrumental though.
In 1968 I was 15 years old and living in the Philippines when this song came out. It was not unusual to hear Black is Black, Happy Together and Love is Blue blasting out of the GI bars in Olongapo City back to back!
I wore that record out!! Great song, great video, keep them coming!!!
I had 18 old years, I was child when listen first time, stayd in my heart this music, when don't remember of this music ?
Thank you for all you do on your channel.
Aaron the descriptor you composed to accompany this upload is eloquent in its timelines. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. 🎄🎁🕺💃☮️
Like Aaron says your work helps with the bandstand clips a lot Thanks Don and Merry Christmas
@@gregmoore7709 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours too, Greg! 🎄🎁
@Veronica A. and the same to you Veronica! 👍🎄🎁🎆☮️
@dancer don HEY DON!!! I can't even remember the last time an instrumental was a hit on the charts! Shoot, maybe the theme to Miami Vice? Lol Anyway, hope you are doing well, this new variant is gonna make things a bit weird again. But I got my booster & still masking up everywhere! Great song for a rainy, foggy, wet NYC Saturday afternoon. Be careful out there man!!!
@@thruthealcove Hey Kevin you be careful too! The news just announced that there won’t be a live audience at tonight’s SNL. I’m vaxxed and boosted but I mask up no matter where I go. LOL at an instrumental charting! Looks like 2022 will continue to be problematic. Grrr those anti-vaxxers aren’t helping the cause. Take care. Hope the holidays are good to you!
My how times have changed . Great music like this is gone .
I was 11 in 1968 and it was a favorite song for me. Time long gone now.
I love this song so much. I was born in 1968, and this has just officially become my favorite video. It’s so great! 😂😂 What a great time to enter the world…7 months after this aired in Feb. ‘68
This instrumental was always a favorite of mine at the time. Always pleasant, relaxing, and it always put me in a good mood. Thanks for posting it.
Just wondering: you know those Dr. Pepper commercials which ran on Bandstand during the winter? Where people were encouraged to warm up some Dr. Pepper on a cold winter day/night, and then put a lemon slice on the glass, and try it? Wondering if anyone out there tried it? I did, and it's actually pretty good!
This song was always a favorite.. Seeing the video it also showed that the kids had no ide how to dance to lovely song of that tempo.. One couple did and they gave justice to the music.. Just like Claudine Longet's music.. soft and lovely to listen to and dance with respect !!!
Nice song remember it well but surprised it was #2 for 1968. Peggy with bangs in this brief shot of her. Is this the last date that we see Peggy appearing in the these videos? Famous and Jenny seem to dance beautifully to any song. Merry Christmas to Aaron, the dancers and all else who visit this channel.
I sure do love a sweet melody. This one has stayed with me for 50 years. There's not enough melody today
Great instrumental from Maestro Mauriat. Have the 45 and album. Interesting to see Marvin Gaye's "You" in AB's Top Ten whereas on the trade's charts it barely hit the Top 30. Also poignant to see Otis' biggest hit listed as we lost him and four original members of the BarKays months earlier. That said looking ahead to 2022!
Hi Kevin, I agree with you. While my collection of Mauriat's arrangements is not as diverse as yours, he was one of the great composer/arranger/orchestra leaders of its time. Along with his compatriot Michel Legrand, and other European peers such as John Barry, James (Hans) Last, Bert Kaempfert, ... he defined what was known in the States and Canada as "Beautiful Music". Peace be with you, Ciao, L
@YouCanDanceToIt! Aaron thank you for this early Christmas gift, great seeing some of the regulars dancing and commenting. I notice we haven't heard from Peggy lately, hope she is ok. I also hope you are doing ok with your job on the front lines as a safety provider with this latest surge. Medical people are true heros. I wish everyone would get vaccinated and follow protocals to keep everyone safe. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Don't think I was 13 yet when love is blue was released. AB was the end of my Saturday entertainment. Great tune
One of the best instrumental songs.
Percy Faith's. Love Theme Form Summer Place is the other one , and for you ?
I'm 67
Greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador
Moon River is a great one from 61
Number one song in pop! Just amazingly superior comparing it to what would be #1 today. Technology has gone the wrong way in music
Young ppl appreciated all kinds of great music back then unlike todays trash
Love is Blue is my all time favorite
Beautiful....love this. 💜
Nice song! Thank you so much for posting this Aaron, along with all the other videos this year. This channel is very much appreciated. Happy Holidays!
I remember this song.....my dad had just bought a brand new Chevy Impala 2 door burgundy with a black vinyl top
Oh my God has it been that long? You Betcha time flies when you’re having fun. And us Boomers knew how to have fun that’s for sure. ✌️
Beautiful music. Unforgettable👍👌👏
I wish this would of been with the words, but either way such a beautiful song
I never knew you could dance to this song
You can tell the dancers are trying to make the best of an Instrumental that went #1 . . . and actually stayed there for several weeks I think. It's awkward for them, I can see that.
But hey, like some others were saying, unlike today we have radio stations (and internet) where there's a station for every type of music genre. Back then, everything was crammed into AM radio, until FM Rock broke somewhat away from the Top 40 lists. There were also Adult Contemporary stations (AC) that definitely played this kind of instrumental, but they were geared to other lighter pop music/instrumentals. Some of it crossed over from AC and other AM pop/rock type stations. In the 70s, with disco blossoming or once it got started, at least the instrumentals were more danceable - TSOP - The Sounds of Philadelphia (MFSB), The Hustle, Pick up the pieces, Average White Band, etc.
Essa melodia me trás grandes recordações da minha juventude.
Amo essa música.
Abraço 🙏
I don’t know it was Frank that was having those head motions, but it reminded me of a You Tube clip on the Ed Sullivan show and the dance interpretation of that song. Check it out, it’s really cool.
“You’re Listening to American Bandstand”
Was that Dick’s salute to beautiful music?
Famous and June, well that is “Dancing With the Stars” material and their signature dip. And that song was @dancerdon’ s speed there (just playing with you dancer Don)..
LOL
I found it! Amazing clip... how different times were back then! Thank you for the tip! : ) czcams.com/video/u_jbx0iWl8I/video.html
I was a little girl, I remember it well. A beautiful, romantic song from the late 1960s.
I was born many years later. But I love this music, and seeing all those people dance, they are young, all life ahead. Simpler times. It's just so magical to see
Wish I had a time machine……!
"We Can Fly" by The Cowsills was a greatly under-rated songs. Another great clip. Merry Christmas!
Remember this so clearly !!! 3rd grade - Miss Patterson was my teacher, Kensington Park Elementary in Miami FL at the corner of NW 7th St and 30th Avenue
Popular classical music at its most brilliant ❤.
Probably the best instrumental music ever in America history
I miss my grade school days when this masterpiece was so young Johnny From Alabama
i loved this in 68
Beautiful people dancing, beautiful!!!
Lots of memories it was a good old watching American band stand every Saturday
Great stuff as always Aaron, and of course, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you, your family and all of the regulars on the channel, and a very happy 2022 to one and all!
Life was so nice back then.
I turned six years old that year.
I loved that song.
It was on the radio all the time and it was on the jukebox of the Comeback Inn, where my mother would take my sister and I when we were small.
The restaurant (around the city limits of Chicago) had a giant stuffed grizzly bear over the door, and the indoor atmosphere was dark, with peanut shells on the floor.
I always think of my mother when I hear it because love was always blue for her.
Of course it's in my iPod and I listen to it regularly.
It restores my soul and enriches me with my favorite memories.
Like most of the old songs on my iPod.
Gosh when I listen to these songs sometimes it’s like I’m there again. ❤️ thanks so much for posting these
Merry Christmas Doc. Miss the weather. These old times make me reminisce
Timeless treasure and I consider myself a rock and roller but this is and always has been BEAUTIFUL ✨
Love this song brings back great times ❤
These guys could even dance to the anthem of the United States of America. 😁
