I remember hearing this on the radio when I 8 years old My 3rd grade teacher played the radio during our lunch break ( 1958-1959 ) great song Thank you Miss Platt ❤
I envy the people who will hear this for the first time, there are some songs we fall in love with from the very first beat ,very first lyric all the way through...this is one of them. I was born in the 60s and was bought up listening to music instead of watching TV

On my last watch of this, I got an ad for BUICK, Damn it THAT makes so much sense! Buick was THE CAR in the 1950s, Only to be THE car in the '80s (Regal, Grand National, GNX...)
Beautiful melody. This song together with "Mr Blue" were huge hits for this group in the first half of 1959 both of which went to # 1. I like when the two women come in together and sing as a trio. Gretchen and Barbara not only have angelic voices they're gorgeous.
Ditto Steven , ex forces, struggled for years since the 80s combat stress/ptsd , good luck bud , the power of music really does help me , other songs that help me may help you , The Flamingos I only have eyes for you , At last, the name of the singer escapes me at the mo and Mantovani (sorry dont think this spelling is exactly right) Charmain , all the best to you in the future hang in there it gets better
I am "only" 62 but YES, I'm so glad to have access to the past at our fingertips. Hell, I don't even watch traditional "TV" any more. RUclips and Internet Archive supplies my daily entertainment. P.S. I requested that THIS song be played at my wedding. That was in 1986. I was 24 so yeah, Definitely TIMELESS.
I'm also 67, and this was one of my absolute favourites when I was a little kid too. Just found it again after many years of not hearing it, and find that I love it still. Wonderfully simple and effective.
I loved this song when I was a little girl and I still love it now. It’s just as good in 2021 as it was way back in 1959. I’m so glad I remember so much of the music from the late 1950s. There was some wonderful music being done back then.
I'm saddened to think they can't produce music like this anymore. I am glad I grew up in the late fiftys music was so pure yo u could the words they were singing. Lov e all the Fleetwoods music just pure inos cence.
@@myroncoleman9825 I think the music of that era does have an innocence. They certainly don’t make it like they used to. Fleet wood Mac is a great band. I love their songs.
This is truly one of the most calming and beautiful songs ever. I first heard it on an oldies radio station perhaps about 30 years ago and have loved it ever since.
I just heard this song for the first time ! And I love it ❤ I'm a 1976 child and find this song absolutely amazing ! Soothing and prefect in every way ❤❤❤
Theres real musical magic emanating from these gorgeous harmonies, so beautiful, they're virtually a mystical experience just listening to them, as is the entire song.
I first heard this song in the 1988 movie "Crossing Delancey" and the tune popped into my head recently. I found it eventually and so glad I did. A beautiful yet gentle melody.
One of the great groups of the late fifties and early sixties...They didn't do a bad song! Their albums is still some of my favorites! We simply DON'T get harmonies like that anymore!
I heard this on the radio today and remembered my neighbor (Mary Beth Hyland) taught me the cha-cha to this song. Great memories from the late fifties. I love it!
I love this song. More than that of this I've got to say - that I also love all the comments below. It's kind of rare to stumble across a comments section on RUclips where every one is sincerely saying something nice, all humbly spoken and reminiscing sweet memories. If feels good to be in the company of nice people even if it was just for a moment in the comments section of RUclips.
A Truly Beautiful Song. At present I am in a London orthopedic hospital have had the a complete upper arm and shoulder area replacement which is very painful and people like the Fleetwoods are helping me through it!
Haven't heard this masterpiece for ages and came across it now when looking it up for a friend - wow, the days when there was still real music about... beautiful lyrics!
OMG This music 🎶 takes me back to my teenage years. Watching American Bandstand on TV 📺. I just wish I could turn back time. This era is so great yea for the 50's and 60's. I may be a senior citizen but I can still get down and dance 💃 to my 50's and 60's music 🎶.
This song is SO HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL! A few months ago it just popped into my head from my subconscious and I knew I had to have it! Thanks so much for uploading this!
I really enjoyed watching this I am 46 years old and I grew up hearing your grandfather songs and I really enjoyed watching this I live in New Zealand on the other side of the world I will love to see more of your work😊

Actually Gary had anything but a calm life after the hits stopped coming. His own children wouldn't let him visit his grandchildren and so he took it to the Supreme Court. It was a very public case, top story on the national news at the time. The case was called, "Grandparents' rights" and the court agreed to hear it. In the end they found against him. No rights for grandparents to see their grandkids if the parents object. I interviewed him for a newspaper article about 15 years ago and he said he was devastated by that decision.
Wow, i wonder what happened. I would have loved to know the reason why. Did Gary give you any reason why they wouldn't let him see his G children ? What a story. Life can be so strange..
It was actually his daughter-in-law and her new husband that didn't want Gary to see his grandchildren so I misled you when I said "his children." What happened is that Gary's son, the father of the grandchildren, committed suicide and his wife remarried and when she did she and her new husband decided they didn't want Gary in their lives. Gary took it to the Supreme Court but lost because the court found that as long as the parents are good and capable, they have the right to decide who can see their kids and who can't. You can find all the details of the case by googling "Troxel vs. Granville." It was big national news in 2000 but the newscasts never mentioned that Gary was a singer with the Fleetwoods.
I thank Almighty GOD that he placed me in that time period. There was no Acid Rock, no Rage Rock, or Hip Hop.. Just beautiful , family friendly music. Take me home, FATHER.
I listen to all genres from heavy metal to underground hip hop to folk etc etc...and I can say unequivocally there is something really special about this song.
I was captivated by their sound. At age 8. After a hard day at school .the cod war hiding under our desks nuclear drill. This song was a bit of fresh air. Impeccable harmonies
what memories...........I was real young when this came out, but I had 3 older sister's who listened to all these. So, I guess I grew up with them too......LOVE OLDIES and DOO-WOP
Mary Parsons Your lucky, I was 6 & the oldest,my next sibling, a sister was born in 59. Dad played nothing but country, so I didn't get to enjoy these great songs until many years later. But better late than never,huh?!!!

This song is incredibly soothing. I struggle with ptsd and anxiety and for some reason this song always manages to put my mind at ease
Steven ~ wishing you well, dear friend: stay strong !
Right Steven, something soothing about it. Good luck to you, good man.
That is the power of music. Take care.
Have you listened to their song "The impostor"? Its back up vocals is nice too.

The fleetwoods is among the best and most underrated groups in history. Simply beautiful both the people and their music.
So happy to see the "under rated" comment wasn't in the top ten for a change.
They were a 50s bebop singing group dressing and acting like their parents. Yeah, so special. 🙄
