When I would visit Salmon, Idaho as a little kid in the ‘70s, my uncle would listen to this song over and over; it was the only 8-track he had in his truck. I will never forget it.
I stood 30 feet from Susan as she sang this. She was In New Zealand and I was working for TVNZ working on music clips in a very lowly level. She introduced herself to every technician present and made conversation with all of us individually, which was unusual as normally lower tier technicians were ignored. I've worked on a lot of clips and never ever seen such a generous expression of warmth and decency, except for that time.
Wow! I am currently obsessed with this song (not for the first time...) LA airport means a lot to me... and I'll never forget the first time I arrived in NZ from LA...
This song always will remind as l fly the first time from germany to USA to my love.... Now my love has passed away since 2018...and my good days are gone but when l hear this song l feel young again Who in corona times is still listening to this song will leave a thump up Thanks...😥😉☺😘
This is the first time in over 40 years that I've heard this song. It's been haunting my memories for a few weeks, so I decided to look it up. Glad I did. I still remember hearing it on WSM 650 out of Nashville, Tennessee as a kid. This is real country music and it's a shame that we don't hear new songs of this quality anymore.
I’ve always loved this song, and as a retired corporate pilot I flew into LAX so many times over the years. Every time I’d be at LAX that song would run through my head, over and over. Now that I’m retired it has a different meaning, when she sings. LA INTL airport, I wont see you anymore. Almost brings a tear to my eye as I had some fantastic times in and around that airport. Just memoirs now. But I still love this song.
Aside from the radio station that is on the air , you can only pick it up in the tiny town I live in . A good country music station plays good country music when its on the air . Another is not so good at all . Only one out of ten songs is a good song and the rest of it is a horrible one . Who knows what it is ? My Playlist on RUclips is my of listening to good country music .
Well i am 23 and dont even know whats in the radio these days. Music is art in my eyes, but the todays Music isnt art that often anymore, so its not music. Jetzt bin ich fertig und sehe deinen Namen - hätte ich also auch in Deutsch schreiben können :D
This song made it to #9 on the charts in 1971, but I had assumed all these years it made it to #1 ... or AT LEAST in the top 5. However, it did neither. How did this not at least make it into the top 5? Anyway, I was 6 yrs old when this song came out, however I don't remember it when it came out. Still, It brings back memories from a younger time in my life.
I couldn't agree with you more . Aside from the radio station that is on the air , you can only pick up two radio stations in the area I live in . A good country station plays when its on the air , but most of the time its off the air . The other station is not so good at all . Only one out of ten songs is a good song the rest of it . Who knows what it is ? But It ain't country so I listen to my Playlist on RUclips .
What a great song! Definitely the good old days...great video as well!! And what a voice Susan has! Not to be duplicated. OOOOHHHHH take me back too!!!
I remember hearing this song when I was a kid and I loved it and he used to sing it in my head. Funny how I still have the song going through my head periodically and today is one of those days. I thought I would search it out and here we are. Really enjoyed the video made the song even better! I hope you're all enjoying it take care!
WOW! Brings back memories of my Senior year in 1972, when our Ben Davis High School Marching Giants marched in the Rose Parade. We were the first 747 flying out of Indianapolis to L.A. New Year's week. Mom and Dad said the plane barely made the runway over I 465. lol, Dust flying up from the unfinished runway....This song brings tears to my eyes to this day, and the sweet lady that sang it. Thank you Susan..
I was 7 when I first went thru LAX in Sept 1970 - before this song came out. My mom and sister and I were on our way to Honolulu to meet our dad coming back from Viet Nam. I remember that trip so well. Flew a Delta DC 8 from ATL to LAX and United DC 8 from LAX to HNL. I remember going underground and riding on these loooong moving walkways from the Delta Terminal to the United terminal. Don't think they have these walkways anymore. The 747 had just entered service for the first time and we just missed riding on one. A year later this song came out. Was one of my favorite songs from 1970 (along with whatever the Carpenters were up to). Even at 8 years old I had to have it - and still have the 45 today. Thanks for putting this together. SOOOO many memories come back because of this song... Those were the days when you pressed the stewardess call button they came running pronto. And the airplane food was delicious - multi course hot meals - in COACH! So so long ago and a different world then.
We're flyin' to Hawaii on Monday and this and "Leavin' On A Jet Plane" has been goin' through my head for the last couple of days... Good memories of when we lead a simple life as kids... Thank You -
The music of my childhood! So many songs, so many memories! I have all of my grandma's records, and my mom's. Some of my great grandma's. I cherish them!
This song reminds me of being a kid growing up in Australia. A kid obsessed with America. I'm grown up now and I have visited the USA about 25 times, many of which included LAX. I think of this song every time.
When I was 9 my dad worked for Pan Am airways and we flew from Miami to Hawaii for $50.00 and we were on 5 different 747s. When we boarded the plane my dad use to wear his pan am pin on his lapel (the days when people wore suit and tie when travelling) so the people on the aircraft didn't know who he was so they always bumped us up to first class. Flying into Los Angeles that evening I heard this song playing in my earphones and simply fell in love with this song. Just great memories from my childhood.
I was 14 and I had seen Susan Raye on hee haw singing this and fell in love with it. and it sounds as good as the first time, only if I could turn time back
bill trivett I was 5 and I remember my mama had the album and I asked her one day about a song she used to play about an airport. She went and got the album and said is this it.
This magical song accompanied my first long-distance flight in 1985. I went to Bogotá/Colombia. It was the first flight during my career - a hundreds followed. But this first flight is deeply engraved in my memories, especially with this song!
A liffedream came true when we arrived at LA International Airoport a few weeks ago; I still remember the crew tellling us we had to switch off all electronic devices for landing when I took my I-Pod for listening to this song while landing in LA - unbelievable feelings
Loved this song since I was little. Always think of it when I go to LAX, either flying or picking up someone. Love the old photos too. Thank you for posting it.
i was 8 in 1973 remember going to port richey florida to visit grandpa. heading down I-75 from dayton ohio this was my favorite song. always asked dad to turn it up when it came on. ah that great a.m. radio sound.
I dedicate this song today to the legendary Boeing 747 which is retiring this year after a 50+ year career, having entered service one year before the release of this song.
Flying for me is not just for transport, Miss Susan Raye Magnificent ! Flight 105 Delta Lockheed ✈️ L-1011 Tri Star Atlanta to Los Angeles now boarding at gate 17,, But rather the sheer joy of flying. Take an open cockpit bi/ plane for a low and slow pleasure cruise of super scenic country side. Beautiful weather, sights, sounds, smells, fun stuff! Susan, your always welcome to come along as well.
On this day in 1971 {June 12th} Susan Raye performed this song on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... Two months earlier on April 17th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #54 and spent 9 weeks in the Top 100... It reached #9 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart...
Thanks for sharing the info. June 12th is my birthday, but I didn't know the song was first performed by Susan that day in '71 on American Bandstand. I do remember hearing Susan sing it on Buck Owen's and Roy Clark's Hee Haw Show. Incidentally I saw a comment on YT from a young lady who said Susan was her grandma. My! How time slips away.
When I was in kindergarten and only went half day this song came on the radio every day at the same time. I would take my nap listening to it. Its a special song for me.
Brings back a lot of precious memories. I arrived in LA in the late 60's through LAX and lived under the landing path of LAX for 4 years. Saw the first 747 approaching LAX. This should be a background music at LAX ... wonder if officials there are aware of this song.
One of the smoothest and prettiest voices ever. And seemingly a beautiful person inside and out. I say, seemingly, because of course I never had the pleasure of meeting her.
I alway love Susan Raye and like her song like LA international airport and some broken heart never ment and more of her song I love it really bad when she die to early in a plant crash .

Utterly brilliant. Such a beautiful voice. Real country music for a change. Far better than most of todays so called country music.

Such a beautiful woman and such an awesome song. Was honored to see her in concert.

GOD, I used to LOVE this song !!.. She had such a sweet voice, and was just lovely.
I agree, and now Susan is a grandmother.
One of the greatest songs ever. Susan sang it perfectly.
I was around 11 yrs. old, now I'm 55, still a classic song of today...:).
same here Brian,mate!
Me too

Probably One of the sweetest voices ever , beautiful lady
This old song is what I truly call country music
These people are gone
Except it's not country music.
Amen.🙏
Love this song.. it brings back many memories from '71.. I never fly in or out of LAX that this song isn't going through my mind!! Great song!
Karyn Felix-Angell i was 3x at LAX
I graduated in 71!!
It was my mothers favorite artist her birthday was yesterday may she rest in peace
Huh . . . She's still alive 🤔
@leolattanzi1226 my mom passed last year
@@MrJacobrabbit ohh snap sorry about that i miss read your comment as it sounded like it could have been interpreted the other way as well
Hitch-hiking across Canada in 1971, this was playing in every truck-stop we hit! Memories.,
Susan Raye!!! Weltkulturerbe ❤ the best song ever ❤😢💋
Damals ein Ohrwurm
Her and her back up singers are amazing they harmonized so good together .
This is one reason why I like RUclips. I get to hear songs that I've forgotten about, like this one. Thank you!!!

I'v loved her voice and music since way back, she never got the credit she deserved.
I SECOND that!
I very well remember hearing this song on the radio, never dreaming I would play it one day on the radio.
Einer der wundervollsten Songs aller zeiten, ein melancholischer Blick aus dem Fenster - begleitet von Fernweh pur
Ayo what did hey say
1971 listening to this song in the morning on the transistor - great memories

This has been stuck in my head for two days. It’s been a long journey but I feel that I’ve finally accepted that this song is pretty good.
I haven't heard this hit song in decades but i remember that I liked it a lot back in the day.
This song reminds me of being a kid growing up in Australia. A kid obsessed with America. I'm grown up now and I have visited the USA about 25 times, many of which included LAX. I think of this song every time.
This is a song that tells a sad story. Humble yet sad

you're not to far behind me..just 2 yrs is all..I love the 50's to the 80's classic rock...:)...todays' music SUCKS!.
50s-1980 country and rock were the best. wrote and sung from the heart. and by the r.i.p. ginger baker who passed away today.
a ticket back to 71 sounds great to me also.great song.
thanks for the video so we can enjoy this
my fovorite song.....i really love it
First time I heard this song was on an 8 track. Fell in love with it instantly!
I dedicate this song today to the legendary Boeing 747 which is retiring this year after a 50+ year career, having entered service one year before the release of this song.
Glenn Johnson Had this track on a mixed LP back in the early 70s.So good to have it back here.Thankyou.
Remembering listening to these old classics on All India Radio during 1980s.
I think the programme was called 'Saturday Date"
Sure miss the days when flying was a pleasure.
Now, we're treated like animals and the planes are more like cattle cars.
That's for sure! Better to just stay home and find fun in your own neighborhood.

I love this song since 40 years! Greetings from Germany. -Klaus-
I simply love this song!!!
Terrific job matching all those photos to a wonderful song.
I still have my 45 of this. (just like the one you show at the beginning). Haven't listened to it in years though.

it is the official lax song
It’s not the LAX official song. In fact, LAX commissioned a redo of the song which wasn’t as sad around 2010.
Its a beautiful song. I love the voice of susan raye.
all the best for all the fans of susan. coutryflor from germany

Awesome to find the original singer
Great song - wonderful pics - a pleasure - thx!
I saw Susan perform this in concert in the 1970s. She was opening act for Buck Owens and the buckaroos.
OMG where is my childhood, where is my old house, where are my parents and where is my Musical Bandbox where they played this song.
My sentiments exactly! :-)
Daisy Flowers :) You can identify with that feeling
I went to L.A. last weekend (yes, via LAX), and couldn't get this song out of my head all weekend. :-)
One of the timeless classics I remember and loved, even as a kid.
Good singer, great song. It brings back memories of LA in the 70s.
One of the great country songs from the '70s. Love the slide show you put together.
Listening to this song sends me back to my high school days. Still love it.
der song ist wunderschön
Tatjanaundklaus Markwald kann ich nur zustimmen
Love this song its seems to tell my love life and how it always works out .AMEN
this song always brings back good memories of airplane spotting at LAX.
he good feeling when country radio wakes you up in the morning with this excellent song and you know it will be a wonderful day.
