I saw Mr Milsap in concert, years ago. Youd never know this man was blind, by the incredible show he has. And an awesome sense of humor. His talent is beyond great. God bless you, sir.
I was born in 1944 so I was 16 in 1960 you can see I was blessed with music years the gigs I went to would blow your mind no wonder I live so long music holding me up bless all
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music….. 😊
My first sock hop was the summer of '64. I didn't wait that long. Got to walk her home. Married her three years later. Didn't get the happy ending. But I loved the good times.
@@Brandon-lw1wx you missed the fact he has a song thats titled Lost in the fifties tonight.. no fact check needed for the original commenter, and also not trying to be mean
We saw Ronnie Milsap a few months ago in Gainesville Georgia. It was sad to listen to him singing because he was way off. Nonetheless, it was still worth the price of admission to see the legend perform.
I saw him in 2015, and I was embarrassed for him. Slurring his words, even missing several notes on the 🎹 he's my favorite singer ever, but he really should stop touring
Great jellyroll hair! Good cover of a wonderful love song. Sure wish that Ronnie Millsap would come out to the west coast or the Pacific Northwest for a concert or ten!

A year later...still lov'n this song. Incidentally, (reference video) they were called "sock hops" back then because they were dances held on the gym floor without shoes (usually after a basketball game). The shoes came off because they didn't want scuff marks from the street shoes to marr those pretty hardwood floors. Enjoy the memories!

Actually, I think you would have had to live in the fifties to fully appreciate this song/video. It was magical. I thank God for allowing me to live in a time before things got artificial, cynical, and political.. Ronnie Milsap is a precious and tremendous talent. I thank God for him too!
Question for you guys from a 43 year-old father of three: is the phrase "Simpler, but not easier" an accurate way to describe this time? I can remember the nostalgia for the 50s and 60s from when I was a kid back in the 80s. I never thought I'd feel nostalgic for the "country-politan" era but here I am. Take care.
@@leavnsmallville78 Simpler? We did not live in a digital world. Dial phones or phones where you had to have an operator place the call. Party lines so you had to wait your turn. Radios with tubes and portable radios were really big. Music you could understand. Great cars. The 57 Chevy is the all-time classic. You rode your bikes and walked to school. Played outdoors in the street until it got dark. Respected you parents, the police and just about everyone else. But not easier? We lived under the constant threat of a nuclear war. At least that is what they told us. Some people dug fallout shelters in the back yard. Russia was the belligerent neighbor that no one wanted to be associated with. China was just starting to flex its mussels. We lived through the war in Korea and the start of the civil rights movement. Would I go back. Yes and no. I enjoy most of today's conveniences. Like typing in RUclips. But I would like to live in a world where there was less us versus them in our everyday life.
Damn how I wish we could go back to the simpler times when music was music! Ronnie Milsap was one of my Dads first bank customers!! I have felt a close tie to Ronnie because of that! His music is heaven!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love this version of the skyliners song. Ronnie is a phenomenal vocalist. Saw him live at the Washington Parish Fair years ago. Crowd was jammed in like sardines.
I was around nine when this video was released. I've loved it ever since. To this day, when I hear Ronnie call out to that boy, I wonder what is hiding behind them glasses with him being a blind person and all. (smiles) God bless him and any family that he still has always!!! Holly in east Tennessee P.S. Sadly both his wife and son have gone forward already.
Original made by the Skyliners, lead singer Jimmy Beaumont... back in 1959. RIP Jimmy , Many have copied this song , but no one every sang it like you. Jimmy wrote this song when he was 17 years old. McKeesport, Pa 15132 Home grown ! Today is March 31, 2020
I agree with you Al. I unexpectedly found him on a duet with James Otto in the song "Your Good Thing's Gone Bad" from the Album "Shake What God Gave Ya". James starts the song singing the first verse and then James says "Ronnie" and he cuts in.
Today's Music is Trash compared to songs of the 1950s-90s (all genres). Singers back then could hold a note & go Acapella at a Moments notice. Everyone's "hidden talent" today is Auto Tune💔 I was born in 1980 so I've witnessed the Unfortunate Decline in Creativity in the last 20 years. Some Artists today don't have the Talent or Ambition to sing in the Shower, much less in a Bad Commercial. Today...Hearing what Society refers to as Music is comical. (Sorry if I've offended anyone's taste in Music, this is just my opinion, whether we agree or not) Many blessings to Ronnie Milsap & anyone reading this🙏
Don't mind admitting it. This old guy is a sucker when it comes to romance. When that girl smiled up at that boy, I caught myself crying like a fool. I feel so blessed to have so many memories just like the ones depicted here. Btw, Ronnie Milsap has a better vocal range than most singers. He is totally amazing.
The amazing Ronnie Milsap. So pure. So much heart. Voice of the Gods. I can always go back to him after years away and it still is fantastic. God bless you, Ronnie!
She's in love and He's so shy Sometimes the simplest songs hold volumes of emotions. How many times have I wished I had a great song writer to help me with the words to express how I feel !
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
He was born with congenital glacoma. He had some sight in one eye until a teacher hit that eye. His Mother abandoned him, she was religious and believed God punished her with a child that was almost completely blind. His grandparents raised him. Read his autobiography its titled. It was almost like a song. I've read it.
Great rendition of The Tuneweavers original. Ronnie has done wonderful other 50s tunes, too. His high notes fill in for the lack of others singing harmony so, so well. Thx for sharing this video, and thx to Ronnie Millsap for sharing his gift with the world!

Ronnie is the man. Got hooked on him years ago. I've always been a hip hop head but man I always loved his voice. Read about his life and there is no way it shouldn't be made into a movie.

Ronnie Milsap can play and tap out a special song so very strong, to The Country Hall of Fame he does belong! Lets remember Ronnie a pianist blindwho sangfrom his heart extremely kind!
The ending is beyond imagination. Best line ever. Anyone with a negative remark has no idea of His Life or roots. Look it up and remove if You Can. JIMMY I have experience that Young Love Several times. What a Gift from God. JIMMY
This style of music is true country and it's for the folks who appreciate a style of rhythm and twang that you just to find anymore. Some don't consider this country music but, Ronnie was a true country singer.
Greetings from the O-H-I-O Porters! 🇺🇸 I loved this video! I have loved music since I was a baby. My mom played Elvis on the jukebox as I lay in the basket. 🥰 Music has always been an encouragement for me & has changed my life! 🤩 I so enjoy listening to your music & love the piano! You sure make it talk! Blessings from my family to yours! 🥰😎✌️
Oh yeah I remember when CMT played music kind of like another station that used to play music that now only plays stupid crap like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Teen Mom 2.. But at least the programming on CMT is not debaucherous unlike MTV...
Ronnie Milsap....I heard 'correct me if I'm wrong ' he w as discovered by Charlie Pride...another terrific singer...yes ....all the good said about him a concur with...I specially love his ' LOST IN THE 50s TONIGHT " I'M an old geezer who likes old country & oldies...
Ronnie Milsap can do any style of music. He's such a strong vocalist. I love his bluesy songs. He ruled the 1980’s.
He had a chart cross over with "I wouldn't have missed it for the world".
I saw Mr Milsap in concert, years ago. Youd never know this man was blind, by the incredible show he has. And an awesome sense of humor. His talent is beyond great.
God bless you, sir.
I'm retired radio and can say I really enjoyed Ronnie's career. He was very, very good.
Where Ronnie took an already great song and sent it into outer space. Deserves far more radio play than it gets. Love this dude.
I was born in 1944 so I was 16 in 1960 you can see I was blessed with music years the gigs I went to would blow your mind no wonder I live so long music holding me up bless all

"Lost in the 50's tonight" is my favorite.

OMG sock hops YES❤
Unfortunately lived that way all my life. Guess I’m stuck forever in the fifties.
This took place in 1960

Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you Ronnie Milsap.
Wow, great memories from 1960. I do miss those times, when life was simple, and I was with that special young lady.
I'm with most of you..
RONNIE never did a bad song....saw him 2 years ago at the golden nugget in Lake Charles, La., great show
2023 I’m 26 and wish I could have seen the world when it was low and slow and I feel horrible we lost love songs and true romance with online dating and quick flings
I’m 77,you’re right.My heart bleeds for what we’ve become.
Stay true to your heart

Absolutely love this version of the skyliners song. Ronnie is a phenomenal vocalist. Saw him live at the Washington Parish Fair years ago. Crowd was jammed in like sardines.
Best version IMHO.
An amazing talent and even a better human being !
God bless you Ronnie!
This man is a living treasure!!! The voice of a warrior! Strength and intentional use of his range and skills!!
What a beautiful song
I love that 1000 watt smile she gives him when he finally asks her to dance!!! So adorable 😍 💖 💕

Where did country artists go so wrong? Willie, Vince, Travis, and Ronnie is all we need.
It's pretty much rock

WONDERFUL...all I can say!!💙
I love this version of the song. Anytime Ronnie sings a ballad, I’m in. Thanks for posting this.
Love this guy's tributes to those old 50's tunes.
Ronnie Milsap never made a bad song. I love all the stuff he sings and plays. Lost in the 50s tonight is my all time favorite.
Al Cameron I agree...even his few cheesy songs like "I've Got the Music in Me" are catchy.
I guess you forgot about 1984's flop of a song She loves my Car? I admit I like it but I doubt that many other people do, or even remember it.
I would listen to him sing the alphabet on repeat and pay for it.. weekly..
Love this cover!
I agree with you Al. I unexpectedly found him on a duet with James Otto in the song "Your Good Thing's Gone Bad" from the Album "Shake What God Gave Ya". James starts the song singing the first verse and then James says "Ronnie" and he cuts in.

I agree with you totally
I dont even listen to country artists past 2010.
The fifties were great times unlike any other time in history. I was an 18 year old teenager in 1956. Just hard to explain how fantastic the time was.
It’s 8/29/24 in Austin, Tx! Great song and singer! I’m 75 and still rockin to the oldies🥳🎶

I'm 46, and being a former country dj, have heard this song a million times.
Waterworks turned on all the same.
I can't see that smile without breaking into a big grin that approaches tears. Doesn't make sense to anyone but me probably.
Same here sir. The nostalgia for sure..but that beautiful smile melted my old heart and maybe made me imagine what could have been.
The amazing Ronnie Milsap. So pure. So much heart. Voice of the Gods. I can always go back to him after years away and it still is fantastic. God bless you, Ronnie!
The Very Best !!!
Without a doubt the most dynamic vocalist in any genre of music… do your homework before you disagree
Met Ronnie In Gatlinburg in 1995.....
Worked At " Ronnie Milsap's Keyboard Cafe"....
He Took A Picture Of Him With Employees.....
Love. His Music 🎶...
She's in love and He's so shy
