    I miss my parents.Til' the day they passed, they were 50's people and that was a good thing. I was born in '62, but I'm a '50's person too.Don't get me wrong, I tore it up in the '70's/'80's, but I have a hard time living in the current world. Too fast, impersonal, & unfriendly. I miss the simple pleasures in life. I thank God for my upbringing and for the old So.Cal. life my sainted parents gave me. Love Louis, Keely & Sam...baby!

    This was my Dad's favorite singer, we had this song played at his funeral service, he passed away December 28th 2010... Was 87, served 21 years in the United States Army, served in Korea, was the best and most fun Dad ever, I am thinking of him always but especially on this Father's day, I miss him dearly.. R.I.P. Joe Warrick...This song makes me smile and think of him

      Mary Warrick - Your post hit me like a ton of bricks. Just like your Dad, my Dad was a Korean War veteran..and he worked for the Navy for 38 years. My Dad passed in 2015. Weren't our Dads great guys?! My Dad was strict as heck, but he was a good dude too. Danced like L.P. in "Just a Gigolo"- what a goober! May our two "salts" are tossing a few together in paradise. I pray to the God I love they are. Take care, Gabes

      My pop passed in 1983 at 31. I'm 41 now and so very thankful to be alive.
      I lost my virginity to this song on my own account.

    • @francisbtube
      @francisbtube Pƙed 7 lety +1

      Yup the music style is called Swing! A period of jazz (the best in my opinion) that spanned from 1920's to late 1940's!

    • @dukevalentino5967
      @dukevalentino5967 Pƙed 7 lety

      Are sure this is swing? Isn't this an American standard

    • @francisbtube
      @francisbtube Pƙed 7 lety +1

      American Standards can be many genres, like this which is Swing. it's just not as fast a melody as most Swing but you can still swing dance to it.

    • @dukevalentino5967
      @dukevalentino5967 Pƙed 7 lety

      I'm talking about swing as a music style/genre. Not the dance, I think this song would go under American standards

    • @francisbtube
      @francisbtube Pƙed 7 lety

      Let's agree to disagree, IMHO American Standards can be many genres, like this which is Swing.
