      I was lucky enough to meet him while having breakfast in Las Vegas and it was such an amazing experience. I was only about 12 or 13, and was too scared to ask him for his autograph, so my mother went with me. We stated that we didn't want to bother him while he was reading his paper and eating breakfast, but explained that I was a massive fan and would greatly love to have his autograph. He was the kindest man and such a true gentleman. He said absolutely and even stood and chatted with us for a bit. He said he didn't even know that people my age knew who the heck he was, and that he was lucky to still have fans around who even cared lol. We already had bought tickets to go see him in concert that night ❤️. It was the highlight of my entire vacation and to this day I will never forget how truly genuine and sweet he was.

Now whenever I think about how I was named,I can think about my father,who's not with us anymore,and get a smile on my face. Thank You, for singing such a beautiful song.

As for strange names to name someone,look at the name that was given to you,and no ask yourself,who gave you your name and why? As I do have the knowledge of knowing that my father loved me enough,to give me the name of a song that he really liked listening too.

    Plus Frankie Avalon was very young at that time...
    Venus sounds as good today as it did in 1959.

      @Squee_Dow 8 месяцев назад

      Actually, MidnightVentures, it was magical. It was as innocent and as unchaotic as it's depicted. Vulgarity wasn't a thing. Drugs hadn't entered the picture. No one knew anyone who was rehabbing. We wouldn't have even understood that concept.
      Many of us were virgins until our wedding night. There wasn't a lot of rebellion or anger. You could watch TV as a family without fear of exposing young eyes and ears to immorality. We had no idea that mankind could spiral down in front of our eyes. Madelyn Murray O'Hare managed to remove prayer from school and the rot began setting in.
      This is not to say that we didn't have societal problems. We did. But they were getting better. Slowly, but still going in the right direction. As we took God off the throne, we began to allow drugs and rebellion creep in. We didn't understand that we were participating in our own downfall. Those of us who didn't participate were guilty of allowing our demise without fighting for the standards of our earlier years. I have to admit that I never knew we could descend to the place we are now. I believed that mankind had some kind of self-correcting mechanism that would prevent our demise. I was naive.
      So, yes, it was magical. In the last 2 years, I've lost hope for America. It's impossible to get the toothpaste back in the tube. Only a strong move of God could return us to a place of honor.
      P.S. I consider it a privilege to have been part of that generation as do my peers. We noticed that the switch from the innocent era was around 1965. This was the year we graduated high school, so we were blessed to have those first 18 years uncomplicated by the changes that were to come.

    If you were a teen at the time Frankie came out with this song, you would live it and appreciate it so much more. The 60s were a fabulous time to be a teenager and just to be living it! To take "Venus" out of that period and listen to it now in some other movie, game or whatever is not the same. You are really missing and not feeling the truly family-oriented, close friendships and romantic AND cool times of that never to be seen or felt again era!

    Ever since the late 1960's when I look up at the early morning or early evening skies and see planet Venus, this song always plays in my mind. I was born in 1957 and one of my favorite songs in my life.

    Those who that did not not grow up in the 60s as I did, it was a wonderful memorial time and the music of that period reflected
    the innocent more so of the young people than as oppose to the young people of today.

    I wish wish wish I could’ve lived through this time. Things are so different now. Things back then we’re so much purer and innocent. Songs we’re so beautiful and didn’t talk about sex and guns like they do today. I wish I was alive during those times. I know that a lot of people say this and that’s it’s a cliche but I’m 15 and I was born waaaaay in the wrong time.

      If you were born in 2004 then there's a good chance you lived a previous life around the time this recording was popular...that's why you feel so attracted by those years ! This is just imagination, but you could well have lived a previous life that was rather short (i.e., born in '44 and died in '74, so you would have been a teenager in '59... Then rested 30 years in heaven and came back to this world in 2004. Think about it.

    I was born in 1984, but I can tell you that this song by Avalon is one of the best songs you will hear in your life. You hear the lyrics and it puts you in a feeling of bliss. In fact, a large number of the top 10 hits from the 50's, 60's, and even the 70's had quality, content, and meaning. It brings you back towards a period of time of innocence. Fast forward to today's what-you-call music and look at the top 10 hits. Most of them can be summed up in one of three words: crap, crap, and crap. No wonder today's youth can't listen to quality music very well.

    Alors que je n'avais que 6 ans , je me souviens de cette chanson qui avait été interprétée en France par "Les compagnons de la chanson" et autres interprètes de l'époque dont Gloria Lasso et j'ai découvert plus tard cette version originale , la vraie de vraie . Du haut de mes 66 ans , je l'écoute encore . Merci FRANKIE .
