My wife and I had our first date 44 years ago. She was the one then, and 5 kids and 10 grandkids later she's still the one. We've always sung this song to each other. Love the message and the harmonies.
Here you deserve a ❤ and a 😢. My wife and I just celebrated our 17th anniversary last Saturday, July 6th. This is my unofficial song for her. I how we have as many years as you and your husband did.
My husband who was my high school sweetheart use to sing this to me….he’s been gone for many years now but I still love this song….it brings him back to me each time I hear it!
This post is so sad, yet so beautiful. Anyone who said better to love & lose never lost someone they TRULY loved 😞 Everytime I hear this song now I’m going to think of you
I'm sorry for your loss! 💯 Greatly appreciate the share. Had a million good things to say at first but can only relate. Just thanks for the share & love it!
I sang this song to my beautiful bride of 47 years. The Lord called her home two years ago. I sit here listening to the song missing her with tears running down my cheeks.
Imagine you're a five year old boy, it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon in September 1976. You're sitting in the living room playing with your Lego. Your mother turns on the radio and the first song you hear is Still the One by Orleans. I'm glad this boy was me!
@@MelRiley-pz3je Thank you. It has now been 54 years. And we still sing this song to each other while holding hands. My body is going south fast. But my heart is still hers.
The vocals in the song are deceptively complicated. I've seen some people try to cover the song, some did okay - but none that I've seen have ever nailed the richness of those harmonies. I guess the rollicky rhythm *might* date it, but the lyrics are timeless. This is great song that people can still apply relevantly in their lives.
My hubby and I would dance to this and he would sing it to me as well. He’s singing with the angels now but I still love the song and even after 13 years, he is still the one.
Gentlemen, with every fiber of my being, I have always loved this song. I'm 65 now and have loved it since the first time I heard it. Thank you one and all for sharing your talent with me. Blessings from Kansas~
@stevecole3192: Esa es la magia que producen las notas musicales. Tú dejando fluir tus sentimientos desde Estados Unidos y yo replicando tu comentario desde Chile. Aunque me es imposible separar el amor que siento por la música y la nostalgia que me invade al pensar en mi hermano menor que hace ya casi 26 años voló hacia tu país para conquistar el sueño americano. Como sea, los pueblos con poder o sin él, siempre seguirán unidos gracias al pentagrama musical. El resto son nimiedades. Un gran saludo de un chileno que también tiene tu misma edad.😁😁
If I remember correctly, ABC used this song in September 1976 in the promotional ads for the new seasons programming. It was a great song that got tons of radio play but seeing it on the ABC commercials really pounded it into our heads.🙂
We picked a song for each on our 25th, and this is what I picked for him. He chose "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Am I blessed or what? Anyway, we recently celebrated our 39th. Every time I hear this song, I think back to that and say, yep, your still the one, and always will be!
This song brings back just nostalgic memories. My mom had this awesome BMW and there was huge hill called the booya hill that was super big and she would turn this song on drive up the hill and turn around and just cruise down blasting this song 🎵 it is my absolute favorite memories of her, we always talk about it. Man this song is so awesome!!
Where do I begin? Wells Kelly (RIP) was in my junior high band. His beautiful sister, Kathy (RIP), was my junior high and high school classmate, and older brother Sherman wrote “Dancin’ in the Moonlight!” Years later, Larry Hoppin (RIP) sang on a musical I wrote. Why am I still alive???
Hi Daniel: Yes, true. Both Wells and Larry were both serious musicians, but also fun to be around and work with. They both had a lightness about them, and were good humored. Unfortunately, for those who cared for them, and the world of music, they both passed away far too soon.
I’m impressed my high school girl friend dump me right after high school so much for true love . It would have never work out anyway I was way to immature at 18 . But hey that’s great for you congratulations.
it was my favorite song when i was 10 in 76 growing up in brooklyn and at my 50 s its still is my favorite song my favorite song of all time when i die this will be played at my funeral
I consider this song to be the classic 70s pop rock at its pinnacle. It's got everything I love about music with an upbeat melody groove to those oh so perfect lyrics and the dual guitar solo kicks so hard. love that rock music made with soul, That just make your heart dance.
Chanel 9 TV in Australia had a 5 hour sports program on Saturday afternoons and the ending credits were this song with dozens of sports clips of winners and failures from all different sports from around the world. A brilliant piece of film.
Fantastic song. Takes me back to my childhood. Here in Australia this was the theme song for the most popular TV channel the 9 Network for many many years.
These guys were really tight back then and they had so much joy playing music together. just sheer joy. That is until the pressures of family and money and maybe to a certain degree pain. You just never really know what someone is thinking or feeling at anyone time. I just looked up Larry Hoppen the lead vocalist on this song has been gone from our presence 10+ years. I have read that he was a very giving person who would help out anyone. I have been fortunate to not to have known that many people who chose to end their lives early. Maybe aging was a factor. He was 61. But the sting of death touches all those who loved and will cherish his memory. Ironically Larry wrote one of their comeback hits. "Love Takes Time". Larry never had enough time to Love himself.
James ... I was with you right up to your last sentence. With respect, you didn't know my brother or have any insight into the reasons behind his demise. There were many dark forces in play but I can assure it was not due to lack of self-love. May he RIP.

This was one of my favorite songs and my girlfriend and I used to dance to it. But every time I did after I sat down, there was at least 10 girls come up to me and asked me to dance with them. I told him I'm a one woman man. I know I only dance with my girlfriend. It was hard to do because they were all good dancers and good looking. But I thought my girlfriend was better. Unfortunately we did break up, but this song has never died in my heart
These guys must have listened to the playback of this song in the studio and said, " Damn! I think that's a hit record! " Strong lead vocal, full harmonies, inventive double guitar work and an overall feel good vibe! Whew!
This is my favorite song by Orleans! I had it played as the song my hubby and I danced our second dance as a married couple because we had been together three years before we married but had known each other since the third grade. Been married since 1992 and still going strong! He’s still the one! Dance with Me is my next favorite song!
Our Loved Ones Who Really Love Their Loved Ones Truly FOREVER AND ALWAYS Are ALWAYS STILL THE ONE AND THE ONLY ONE FOR THEM. The ORLEANS IS STILL THE ONES THAT WE LIKE AND ARE STILL ONE OF OUR MOST FAVORITE BANDS FROM THE 70S TODAY. This Song IS STILL ONE OF OUR MOST FAVORITES FROM THE 70S TODAY. 👍🙂
I loved this song but my favorite was "Dance with me" and love takes time!!Their Harmonies are just PERFECT !!RIP Larry thanks for all the music and being the cofounder of the group!!Gone too soon!!
I just wish this Dutch TV outing had not been another lip-sync event. There are precious few filmed performances that were live, if that many, and the one here on RUclips was a latter-day, slightly past-prime (different bass voice and Poppen's own high-ranges age-diminished) document. Nevertheless, a fabulous song on several levels, not the least of which is its vitamin-like ability to spread happiness like a nourishment wherever it plays.
I'm sorry, I had a foot in mouth slip. Did not know. Could you send me to where I can purchase some of your recordings? Still love your music, Doug@@OrleansOnline
Thanks Lance, I appreciate your understanding. Not long ago, I lost a couple of Great guys that I've followed since ' 69, Poco, RIP Rusty Young and Paul Cotton. Thanks again for the info Lance, Doug@@OrleansOnline
@@douglasdegraff8335 We did a lot of shows with Rusty and Poco in recent years. But the years are taking their toll. We still enjoy working with our peers in Firefall, Pure Prairie League, etc. and the wealth of talent on the annual Rock & Romance Cruises.
No, they didn't. It was used in 77 and 79, not 76. You can find the promos here on RUclips. And ABC didn't pick it in 77. The late, great Harry Marks had the inspiration for the 77 spot on his own and produced the promo before showing it to ABC execs because ABC had said they couldn't afford to finance a promo campaign for the 77 season. They loved it and had Marks continue, but they ruined it by insisting that the stars of their shows appear in the following years, which made them a lot more expensive (and hokey, with lots of mugging for the camera).

I was a Radio DJ and was playing this!

Not me! You guys are so old, but your music rocks. Undeniable

@ 67 I'm crying with Gratitude because I was a teen when this great music came out..... never again will we have this level of Folk - Rock fusion .
Wife and I used to sing this to each other when our kids were little... Next month we will have been together 52 years.
That's magnificent indeed 52 years together God bless you both
@@MelRiley-pz3je Thank you. It has now been 54 years. And we still sing this song to each other while holding hands. My body is going south fast. But my heart is still hers.
SO glad that I lived through the 70s and 80s being a music fan.
so much love...did you see the gaze they gave each other
This song should be getting a lot more love. It's a great song!
I cry every time I hear this song, now that I'm 62, and still with my first and only love. Still the one...

Love you, Sister. Sorry for your loss!

@@A3Kr0n great song!
I AM !!!
The harmonies in this song will always hold up!
As in Barber shop!
I would never say this song alone is timeless, but honestly this era of music from 1965 - 78 is the gold standard in the history of music.
met him in 1968 -I was 13 - married my sweetie in 1971 - he passed in 2015 - and he's still the one
44 years. Not enough. I'm sorry for your loss, but happy that you loved him so much and still do. Not many can say that. ♥
Classic mid-70s sound. We were spoiled without knowing it. Talent galore.
1982 till today. She's still the one.

Romantic Love Song
Several years ago I had the pleasure to listen to John Hall at the Bluebird Café in Nashville. It was a great experience! Thank you, John!
Memories…. I was 7 when this song came out! I love everything about this song especially the vocals 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing this! We loved this song when we got married back in '75....47+ years ago and still singing it to each other!!
A bunch of cool dudes with beards, playing great music. One of my all-time favorite songs. Ever!
Peace
I was 7 at this time, but I listened to this song on our local AM station who played this song quite often. Great stuff!
R.I.P. Larry Hoppen and Wells Kelly.
