i'm 34. Mom n Dad were born in 1952. I was raised on Doo Wop and Motown. I love this song, and genre, and time period so much....I love my 80s rock and heavy metal. I love reggae and ska. but man the 50's were an amazing time for music!
I´m only 23 but I love music from this time period so much! When I was young my grandparents and parents always listened to music from when my grandparents were young and I am so grateful they did and introduced me to so many wonderful songs.
Born in 1985 but I had older cousins and such, parents born in 57 and 59, significantly raised with my grandparents, and Ive always loved older music. Looking at the cars and listening to the music, I cant imagine what it must have been like to grow up in the 50s and 60s!
My mom saw Bobby Darin having breakfast in a diner in Reno in the 60's and he was on his own. She went to say hello and he invited her to join him, mom said he was a real gentleman and very nice.
Some times, for no understandable reason, a just plain average guy like me sees that dream lover. She is the most beautiful girl ever. And he risks it all and goes up to her and says hi. Married 45 years next week. She is still my dream lover and the most beautiful 74 year old girl ever. We both love Bobby and his music. What a blessed man I am.
I hope you appreciate that. Not everyone has this luck my man. Wish you two the best. I'm 26 and haven't find the love of life yet. Sometimes I'm not sure if it will happen, but I guess I have time to find her
I met my girl, my dream when I was 27 and she 29, we married after just four months. Has 45 years of marriage always been easy? No. But Our Lord blessed us with each other and a strong love and commitment to He and each other. So do you still have time? Yes lots, pray for Gods guidance.@@onepieceguy2659
I have certainly enjoyed and love my generation. I'll be 73 on February 7th; still this song pulls at my heart strings. Tonight I dedicate it to my true dream lover who is so very far away. Marcus Fred you are and will always be my dream lover until the last of my generation has moved on. Happy to know that generations now and future generations after me will get to enjoy this beautiful love ballad.
You’re lucky. You got to experience the golden age of America. It wasn’t perfect but it was way better than this degenerate wasteland some of us have had to grow up in
Every night I hope and pray A dream lover will come my way A girl to hold in my arms And know the magic of her charms 'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) My own (yeah-yeah) I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Dream lover, where are you With a love, oh, so true And the hand that I can hold To feel you near as I grow old 'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) My own (yeah-yeah, yeah) I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Someday, I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea Some way, I don't know how She'll bring her love to me Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do 'Til all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) My own (yeah-yeah, yeah) I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do 'Til all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) My own (yeah-yeah) I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Please don't make me dream alone I beg you don't make me dream alone No, I don't wanna dream alone
Joan. Ayres thats awesome Joan! i met my baby girl in 2011 and we got together the very first day we met, we have our ups and downs but more than three years on and im still sure shes the one :) heres to hoping it stays that way
Same I lost both my mom and dad in April so I'm trying to remember every song that used to get on my nerves that they played....now it makes me feel warm.....my The Most High strengthen you so that the times are bearable.
I just turned 53 and I'm glad that my parents played this kind of music as I grew up. Such great voices and my Mom loved to dance. It all made for one very happy childhood.
I was born in 1950, a perfect time for music. In my life we had all the 50’s groups, Bobby Darin, Elvis, then I was a teen with the Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys , Petula Clark and Leslie Gore, Simon and Garfunkel, all the British pop groups, then late teens-20’s, we had the Doors, Led Zeppelin, then Elton John and on and on, not to mention all the heavy rock of the sixties, seventies, I could go on forever , R & B, Ray Charles, Aretha …. Then the fun disco stuff from the 80’s. I think my time caught it all, country western, Motown, rock, top 40s. I feel so lucky…
when I got my first car, the mechanic who did all the restoration work made me a cassette tape of his old cruising music from the 50s and this was one of my favs on the it. He passed away and my 1968 chevy has long rusted away, but this music brings it all back
Ashley Pulido Mack the knife, Book of love, Duke of earl, I wonder why by Dion and the Belmonts. These are just a few that I can still remember right now. The music ranged from the late 50s to about 1963. I wonder now where that cassette ended up. I bet it was still in one of my old cars when it got crushed.
May your mom forever R.I.P I understand my mom passed away Aug 30th she was a great dancer and she loved music no matter who the artists were? But one of her all time favorite songs to dance off of is The O'Jays Get On Out And Party from their Identify Yourself album. God Bless you we shall keep our mother memories alive with great music that they loved and also they will forever be in our hearts.
@@manchild3479 In 1973, after failing to take antibiotics to protect his heart before a dental visit, Darin developed sepsis, an overwhelming systemic infection, which further weakened his body and affected one of his heart valves.
This song takes me back to a simpler time. Bobby Darin's smooth voice and catchy melody are just as enchanting now as they were when "Dream Lover" was first released. It's amazing to think that over six decades later, this song still has the power to captivate and inspire. Let's keep the love for this classic tune alive! ❤
+Adrian Larkins Me too. Life is short....but if nothing else we DO have our memories..good and bad . At least we have survived long enough to make some!!! My great recollections from this era amuse and comfort me sometimes on those days when I am inclined to think about regrets and what might have been..........
Was in High School when this came out ! Served in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Korea, Remote Alaska, and the 1st Gulf War, and Bosnia. Met my Dream Lover in 1961. Still married after 52 years !
Bob Remel that’s awesome God bless you and thank you for serving, my dad was in Nam as he called it, I also served as did all of my 6 older brothers and I love the music, the memories may differ in timeline but the music is timeless as all truly beautiful and magical things are, hands of man were used by the almighty to bring alive his inspired creation
I'm 41. I learned about Bobby Darin as a kid. I just wish, that he coulda had More time to be around. He had a Time Clock ticking from the age of 5 that gave out at 37.
Czasem morzna wrucic do sfyh mlodszyh lat by ucieszylo sie serce umysl wspomnienia obudzil a lzy tylko z wdpomnien lecz muzyka to lek mego serca 💔 to dar rzycia od boga milego dnia rzycze od serca 💔 pozdrawiam ❤❤

My family left Arkansas in 1952 and moved to central California. Every summer, when school let out for the next ten years we returned to visit our Arkansas family. I remember sitting on a cousin's twin bed one hot, muggy afternoon, surrounded by a dozen or more male cousins--listening as "Dream Lover" played over-and-over on the record player. Swooning as we listened to every word, we talked of girls, cars, and our favorite songs. To this day, when I hear this song, I am taken back to that day in Osceola, Arkansas, when life was simple, the promise of love sweet; when every boy dreamed of one day finding that "Dream Lover."
itsraining deluca I am so glad that I was raised during the 50s. It was a simple way of life with not many worries. Maybe it was because it followed WWII when there was such uncertainty in the world. But they were GREAT years.
Bobby had a gifted talent his voice. He could sing and his songs would stand up to music today . Let's not forget about his acting. RIP Bobby You left us way too early.
Que hermosos recuerdos,yo escuchaba esta musica cuando tenía como cuatro años y mi papá prendía su radio como a las 6 de la mañana para irse a trabajar. Ahora yo le pongo esta musica a mi nieto de 4 años cuando lo levanto para llevarlo a la escuela
I remember when he died because my parents were his age and big fans so we never missed anything he was on. He was very well loved by all his peers and fans as well. If you want to see him at his best check out any of his guest appearances on Andy Williams Show or his own show from the early 70s.
I'm 60 and I grew up listening to my parents records, this is beautiful and almost angelic. " because I want yeah yeah A girl yeah yeah to call my own . I want a dream lover , so I won't have to dream alone"
❤Acuérdate que querían el corazón que los pulmones al último no los podían porque la persona que los ocupaba se murió pero que ahora querían el corazón ya quiero vivir mi vida en paz
Every night I hope and pray A dream lover will come my way A girl to hold in my arms And know the magic of her charms 'Cause I want A girl To call My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Dream lover, where are you With a love, oh, so true And the hand that I can hold To feel you near as I grow old 'Cause I want A girl To call My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Someday, I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea Some way, I don't know how She'll bring her love to me Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do Till all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want A girl To call My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Dream lover, until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do Till all my lover's dreams come true 'Cause I want A girl To call My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Please don't make me dream alone I beg you don't make me dream alone No, I don't wanna dream
I think I FINALLY figured out (mind you, I have been listening to this song since it was first on the radio in early 1959) who is playing those great Fender Jazzmaster riffs all through this song, and I believe it to be Roy Lanham, a jazz guitarist who, as I understand it, was in with Leo Fender and received what was probably the very first commercial Jazzmaster ever produced. And IT was the first ever recorded and it was used in THIS song! Headphones would be left channel, with piano in the right. And NOW, this has 124M views and 558 thousand thumbs up. Now THAT is an enduring hit.
I hate the stereotype that 50's/60's music is "for old people." As someone born in 1989 and a fan of rap r&b rock and everything in between I won't hesitate to say this song is one of my all time favorites. Simple but amazing. Catchy feel good music doesn't discriminate on age :)
Taken as a whole, I get it. But this record is anything but "simple." There's a lot going on here. The slightly dissonant high pitched piano notes right at the intro for one. Multiple key changes for two. A lot of inspiration, thought and aural imagination went into the production of this record. Listen to the background, the various instrumental and vocal sounds upon which Bobby Darrin's voice floats.
good on you young man! Its refreashing to see youth enjoy music thats not mumbled with curse words while they act out sex acts on dance partners with there pants sagging around the hips.
To say this song is good or great is an understatement.This song is one of the greatest songs of all time, the kind of song that can only be equalled but not surpassed.
I was blessed born in 1955😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 by the time i was 12 , was enjoying this kind of music 🎵 watching real movies Bogart, cagney , edward g. Robertson Than along came the Beatles,stones
I wasn't alive yet in 1950's, but this is one of the songs I found in my teens & fell in love with it... City boys singing about being gangsta was never really my thing though.
This guy was one of music's big losses. He could write and perform songs of great variety and style. They say music and smell can conjure up a memory. Whenever I hear this I remember this song playing on the N.A.A.F.I jukebox at R.A.F. Cosford in 1960 as I walked past and the smell of newly cut grass - or if I smell newly cut grass I remember the song. I was 16.
Always said I was born in the wrong era, im 28 drunk listening to this, reminds me of trips down south to see my auntie with my grandads 50's 60's 70's rock and roll album playing the whole way, proper music that I'll love forever and im gonna show my kids the way of proper music too
@Oscar Arnesen The music of the era was too diverse; sounds coming off the radio were new and different. Every song didn't repeat every other song. But check these out and see if they scratch the itch: 'Dreamin'' Johnny Burnett; "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" the Drifters; "Runaway'" Del Shannon; "Take Good Care of My Baby" Bobby Vee; "She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be)" Ral Donner; "Baby, I Need Your Loving" Four Tops; "Every Breath I Take" Gene Pitney...
My dad was born 1954 and I was born 1997 so I was raised on this kind of music and was confused growing up because everyone was listening to other music.. but why.. this is real music!
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023 He have a soulful voice! This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Bobby Darin…?
One of my favorite quotes of all time, by Neil Young:"I used to be pissed off at Bobby Darin because he changed styles so much (rock n roll, country, swing, jazz, show tunes, folk, easy listening, spirituals, ballads, protest songs, blues, film scores). Now I look at him and think he was a darn genius.Mack the Knife was cool. But it was almost a distraction, cause it was such a radical change and you were goin: Hey wait a minute. This is really good, but who is this now- is this the same guy? What the hell just happened?That's the first artist I can remember where you're goin...Well, shit - he just changed. He's completely different. And he's really into it. Doesn't sound like he's not there.Dream Lover, Simple Song Of Freedom, Queen of the Hop, Splish Splash - tell me about those records, Mr. Darin. Did you write those all the same day? He just changed so much. Just kinda went from one place to another. Completely different sounds. So it's hard to tell who Bobby Darin really was."
One of my favorite songs from my father's collection. It brings back memories of pursuing a girl I really wanted to be with, in high school. This song was heavily on my mind then, and when we finally hooked up, it felt magical. Most teens today will never experience those magical moments, because today's culture is too perverse, and robs them of the purity of just falling in love.
you mean a repetitive chorus to do with a simple depiction of love with a catchy tune to go along with it? sounds like 90% of the songs on the radio. we're still in the same position desperately searching for something more in a world of monotony
What a musical treasure! So clean, so powerful. I can actually understand every word hes singing unlike a lot of music these days, I can barely make out a single word in music these days. 🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹
LOL me too I was actually watching hot shots last night that movie is one of my favourites and I'm only 12 my generation should be watching and listening to new music and movies not old ones but Charlie sheen was awesome in that movie
R.I.P. BOBBY you had a great voice and style like a young Sinatra.! Rock 🪨 style so sad you had rheumatic fever when you were young 37 is just the beginning!!! 😢
I was 8 2 teenage sisters a small portable record player spinning 45's the dream was real they would drag me into their room to "practice" dancing I hated it 8 years later I was thanking them and my love of life now has no bounds the harmony of living energy is distilled to joy our music sets it free
Who is still listening to this in 2024 ? I am ❤
Listening 4/20/24 googled it and found out it was released 65 years ago today

Exactly same for me my dear Mum loved Elvis and all of these lovely proper songs
I'm leaving my comment here so whenever someone likes this, I'll get to listen to this masterpiece again.
How about a comment? Lol...😮
I'm a teenager and I really hope more people my age enjoys the 50s 60s songs as much as me.
how could they not? it’s so good
I do
Yes you can't beat 59s 69s music. Keep on listening
Meant 50s 60s
You’re awesome and will keep that generation alive!
My mom saw Bobby Darin having breakfast in a diner in Reno in the 60's and he was on his own. She went to say hello and he invited her to join him, mom said he was a real gentleman and very nice.
Wow! Did they have a little afternoon delight?
My beautiful sister, Connie named one of he twins after Bobby Darin (Darin & Darci) and I named my daughter after Lindsey Buckingham (Lindsey Ann).
Great story! Thanks for sharing.
That's so awesome and yeah he seems like he would have been totally down to earth...
WOW! 🤩

I grew up on this Era! Drove around in our rag tops with our AM radio blasting in the night air! Those were the days
I'm 87 and sooo happy I grew up in the 50s,miss it a lot.
The music kids listen to these days are trash compared to back then. I miss the good old days
Hello Helen, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I was defo born in the wrong era 50s and 60s is in my heart and soul even though I was born in 79 nothing beats it
Music peaked in the 50s, 60s. I'm not saying music wasn't good before and after but the 50s, 60s was the pinnacle
Memories. Life is short. You only realize it when you get old. I'm old
+Adrian Larkins - moi aussi.
+Adrian Larkins You don't sound old. . .you sound like the spark of life is real inside you!
+Adrian Larkins Me too. Life is short....but if nothing else we DO have our memories..good and bad . At least we have survived long enough to make some!!! My great recollections from this era amuse and comfort me sometimes on those days when I am inclined to think about regrets and what might have been..........

I'm an 80's girl all day everyday but I adore all sorts of music and this one is beautiful!
I'm 41. I learned about Bobby Darin as a kid. I just wish, that he coulda had More time to be around. He had a Time Clock ticking from the age of 5 that gave out at 37.
Never let this song die! ❤️
I'm 17, I discovered old songs out of nowhere and realised that new generations pop songs can never top these legendary singers
Músicas atuais são uma decepção
That's so cool. I love the oldé music. Try songs by Sam Cooke.Youll love them.

Aaron roman me too, they don't make songs like this anymore.
I’m 76 and lucky to have grown up with this kind of music. The 50s were the greatest.

Great music brings back great memories
Bobby darin thank you for this classic song❤❤❤
Hot Shots (one of the best comedy movies of all time) brought me here
My family left Arkansas in 1952 and moved to central California. Every summer, when school let out for the next ten years we returned to visit our Arkansas family. I remember sitting on a cousin's twin bed one hot, muggy afternoon, surrounded by a dozen or more male cousins--listening as "Dream Lover" played over-and-over on the record player. Swooning as we listened to every word, we talked of girls, cars, and our favorite songs. To this day, when I hear this song, I am taken back to that day in Osceola, Arkansas, when life was simple, the promise of love sweet; when every boy dreamed of one day finding that "Dream Lover."
Sounds like a good memory I first heard this when I was 3 out on a Sunday drive with my grandparents ah the memories
I wish I could be in your time, besides this Century, everything is so complicated, I want it to be simple like before.
itsraining deluca I am so glad that I was raised during the 50s. It was a simple way of life with not many worries. Maybe it was because it followed WWII when there was such uncertainty in the world. But they were GREAT years.
joycehwys I bet they were, my father always talks about all the good memories he had. He always talked about going to the shore in New Jersey.
itsraining deluca you know I'm only 14
Timeless classic....will never die as far as music lovers exist....lol...taz
What timeless music!!..t@z...
I m in 20s, and i like this type of pure love song❤
Wanna dance 😊🌹
Never get tired of this beautiful song 💖
Wanna dance 😊🌹
I was born in 5690 and I traveled back in time to listen to this

Totally agree!!
I finally found this song I love it so much
Desiree H so true

Desiree H, amen to that. : )
Tengo 48 años....y me gusta todas las canciones de los años 50 tas y 60tas
Before my time but mom played some good old music, now she is75 and I play it for her, have to make happy
great comment.
Bobby Darin was pretty good, he had a funny TV show back in the day
called?
I think he was a lot more than pretty good.
"The Skeeter Davis Show."
+Robert Bonter thanks
Bobby had a gifted talent his voice. He could sing and his songs would stand up to music today . Let's not forget about his acting. RIP Bobby You left us way too early.
RIP Bobby your geart
He died so young what a talent he had .keep singing bobby
Brit invasion threw off a lot of these USA performers, even Elvis. They just needed to let the tide turn. Their music stands the test of time.
@@neilebobbitt5396 He was only 38 , he passed in 1973 , one of my all time favorites ...
There will never ever be music like the fifties and sixties!Happy to be born in this Era.I am 72 now.
He is the best singer in the world I love it so much God bless you ❤️ ♥️ 🙏 💖 💕 💗 ❤️ ♥️ 🙏 💖 💕 💗 ❤️ ♥️ 🙏 💖
Wanna dance 😊🌹
I love this song. It's always so fun when you and your grandma like the same songs and sing them together :)
+Valerie Woods
Memories you will always cherish; I assure you.
Que hermosos recuerdos,yo escuchaba esta musica cuando tenía como cuatro años y mi papá prendía su radio como a las 6 de la mañana para irse a trabajar. Ahora yo le pongo esta musica a mi nieto de 4 años cuando lo levanto para llevarlo a la escuela
+Valerie Woods It´s beautiful, I love it
true
+Valerie Woods I found this mix while finding my toddlers love of trains.
Poor Bobby died in 1973 never knowing how many millions of us have loved his music.
What did he die from?
@@briandm33 heart failure
That is sad. Were you old enough when this song came out? Funny how short life is, I'm in my 40s now and starting to realize that.
@@zeeshandogar9406 It first came out in 1959. Soo That is my parents era being born. 1956. They're already deceased.
I remember when he died because my parents were his age and big fans so we never missed anything he was on. He was very well loved by all his peers and fans as well.
If you want to see him at his best check out any of his guest appearances on Andy Williams Show or his own show from the early 70s.
I'm 60 and I grew up listening to my parents records, this is beautiful and almost angelic. " because I want yeah yeah A girl yeah yeah to call my own . I want a dream lover , so I won't have to dream alone"
I'm 37 always play this one and Dion x
45 here and this is so emblematic of the oldies station when I was a kid. Love it!
❤Acuérdate que querían el corazón que los pulmones al último no los podían porque la persona que los ocupaba se murió pero que ahora querían el corazón ya quiero vivir mi vida en paz
v@@Missfkeaa
Totally understand the feeling.
I grew up in the 80's. From my parents I believe the 50's were like our 80's. Great times.
This song will never age. The 50s and 60s are the best
As far as music
One of my favourite, I agree 55 to67 best year ever but add few 70s an one or two 80s and after that whatever you call !
Indeed.. Wish i was thought of
ah yes when unions were at their peak.
I agree, that's for sure!!
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream
Still is as meaningfully today
Thanks man
Foot tapping and loving every minute.....great post.
Cheers....👌🏻☺️
💚💚
I think I FINALLY figured out (mind you, I have been listening to this song since it was first on the radio in early 1959) who is playing those great Fender Jazzmaster riffs all through this song, and I believe it to be Roy Lanham, a jazz guitarist who, as I understand it, was in with Leo Fender and received what was probably the very first commercial Jazzmaster ever produced. And IT was the first ever recorded and it was used in THIS song! Headphones would be left channel, with piano in the right.
And NOW, this has 124M views and 558 thousand thumbs up. Now THAT is an enduring hit.
'Yep...still alive and listening in 2024. Still ❤ this song, since 1959 at 77 y/o...lol.
😊 me too. 74y /o
I hate the stereotype that 50's/60's music is "for old people." As someone born in 1989 and a fan of rap r&b rock and everything in between I won't hesitate to say this song is one of my all time favorites. Simple but amazing. Catchy feel good music doesn't discriminate on age :)
Taken as a whole, I get it. But this record is anything but "simple." There's a lot going on here. The slightly dissonant high pitched piano notes right at the intro for one. Multiple key changes for two. A lot of inspiration, thought and aural imagination went into the production of this record. Listen to the background, the various instrumental and vocal sounds upon which Bobby Darrin's voice floats.
Well said Dee Jay Fergson!!!!!!! Respect from Australia.
good on you young man! Its refreashing to see youth enjoy music thats not mumbled with curse words while they act out sex acts on dance partners with there pants sagging around the hips.
Fell good music is ageless...cheers from the Orient.
But not a song you can dance to in a club. Let's face it.
Bobby is one of the best singers! Great song. Sadly missed. ❤️
Dang I'm bout to turn 37
Thank you mom for giving me classic songs as I was growing up and god I miss you but when I hear these your alive 💔
One of the greatest songs ever made
To say this song is good or great is an understatement.This song is one of the greatest songs of all time, the kind of song that can only be equalled but not surpassed.
I agree completely!! I get emotional listening to it.
Magic ❤️
Never beat olding days
I agree 100 percent
Me and my grandma were singing along to this in the car yesterday while my mom and sister were cringing and it was a big mood.
jadzia lightowler,keep enjoying life and your youth.Great music!!!
@@ricardomillan1649 thank
Keep rocking Jadzia!!!
First herd this song in the movie hot shots
Great memories being made ;)
I was blessed born in 1955😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 by the time i was 12 , was enjoying this kind of music 🎵 watching real movies Bogart, cagney , edward g. Robertson Than along came the Beatles,stones
I wasn't alive yet in 1950's, but this is one of the songs I found in my teens & fell in love with it... City boys singing about being gangsta was never really my thing though.
I'm 37 and love this music so much. Thanks dad for dancing with me on Sunday mornings to this music.
Hello Julie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I was 11 when I started listening to my dad's Bobby Darin 45s - that was 1975.

I was 13. And still listening.
Cool
'75...Jerry Ford president...oh my,my,my....
I was 11 in 1975. Born Feb 15, 1964
My 3rd favorite singer, amazing Bobby Darin! 💫💕
One of my favourites. Classic and timeless.
i fuckin loVE THIS fifties shit man................
Same
MEW
me too molly
i love you :)
This guy was one of music's big losses. He could write and perform songs of great variety and style. They say music and smell can conjure up a memory. Whenever I hear this I remember this song playing on the N.A.A.F.I jukebox at R.A.F. Cosford in 1960 as I walked past and the smell of newly cut grass - or if I smell newly cut grass I remember the song. I was 16.
Thank you Bobby Darin. Your music will last forever.
Only one I know to sing his songs is me.
My favorite Bobby Darin song rip
Fuck this bitch dion is better
Thank you George Vreeland hill for your many videos.
I. Want. A. Dream. Lover. 💋💋💋💋💋💋
Always said I was born in the wrong era, im 28 drunk listening to this, reminds me of trips down south to see my auntie with my grandads 50's 60's 70's rock and roll album playing the whole way, proper music that I'll love forever and im gonna show my kids the way of proper music too
Loved this, in '59...and still do, in 2023! A true classic, 4sure! XO
DUDE I WAS LOOKING FOR MUSIC LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME
heck yea Megan
Anyone know other songs like this one?
I like Diana of Paul Anka
@Oscar Arnesen The music of the era was too diverse; sounds coming off the radio were new and different. Every song didn't repeat every other song. But check these out and see if they scratch the itch: 'Dreamin'' Johnny Burnett; "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" the Drifters; "Runaway'" Del Shannon; "Take Good Care of My Baby" Bobby Vee; "She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be)" Ral Donner; "Baby, I Need Your Loving" Four Tops; "Every Breath I Take" Gene Pitney...
SAME
This kind of music will never be forgotten
My dad was born 1954 and I was born 1997 so I was raised on this kind of music and was confused growing up because everyone was listening to other music.. but why.. this is real music!
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023
He have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Bobby Darin…?
It's 2023 ...and timeless classic, no matter how much time passes. Love this song....
One of my favorite quotes of all time, by Neil Young:"I used to be pissed off at Bobby Darin because he changed styles so much (rock n roll, country, swing, jazz, show tunes, folk, easy listening, spirituals, ballads, protest songs, blues, film scores). Now I look at him and think he was a darn genius.Mack the Knife was cool. But it was almost a distraction, cause it was such a radical change and you were goin: Hey wait a minute. This is really good, but who is this now- is this the same guy? What the hell just happened?That's the first artist I can remember where you're goin...Well, shit - he just changed. He's completely different. And he's really into it. Doesn't sound like he's not there.Dream Lover, Simple Song Of Freedom, Queen of the Hop, Splish Splash - tell me about those records, Mr. Darin. Did you write those all the same day? He just changed so much. Just kinda went from one place to another. Completely different sounds. So it's hard to tell who Bobby Darin really was."
and he was an accomplished actor as well. He truly was an genius artist.
Well he knew he was unhealthy most of the time and would likely die young so he probably figured he try his hand at most everything.
He was the whole package.
Neil Young is a leftist POS. His opinion is meaningless...
@@nyg1954 He knew he had a time limit and packed as much as he could into it.
When music was great!
Victoria Lou D you got it 😔
Have to agree Victoria.
Glad you both agree with me 😁
ikr
tenes razon hermosa
Oh yeah these songs are the best music I've ever listened to and I can always understand what is being said
Great analysis Ron.
One of my favorite songs from my father's collection. It brings back memories of pursuing a girl I really wanted to be with, in high school. This song was heavily on my mind then, and when we finally hooked up, it felt magical.
Most teens today will never experience those magical moments, because today's culture is too perverse, and robs them of the purity of just falling in love.
I'm 14 and I experienced that feeling but with a different song from the 50s
They don't write music like this today, love it!!!
you mean a repetitive chorus to do with a simple depiction of love with a catchy tune to go along with it? sounds like 90% of the songs on the radio. we're still in the same position desperately searching for something more in a world of monotony
It would be impossible to write this on a computer
Hey Ian, fuck off
Josh Duhon nah you definitely could do 95% of this track digitally. It wouldn’t be easy to get the same timbre on the voice but it could be done
@@nikolairuskanov787 but it wouldn't be any good
What a musical treasure! So clean, so powerful. I can actually understand every word hes singing unlike a lot of music these days, I can barely make out a single word in music these days. 🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹
Every time I hear this song reminds of the movie Hot Shots lol... love the song....
LOL me too I was actually watching hot shots last night that movie is one of my favourites and I'm only 12 my generation should be watching and listening to new music and movies not old ones but Charlie sheen was awesome in that movie
+CrossTeamGamer lol yes he was...... and you watch whatever you want to watch.... no matter how old you are
That scene is hilarious!
LMAO just commented same!! HAHAHA
Just realized it's still a gift that we can all enjoy and man I grew up with this and is still so special
R.I.P. BOBBY you had a great voice and style like a young Sinatra.! Rock 🪨 style so sad you had rheumatic fever when you were young 37 is just the beginning!!! 😢
I was 8
2 teenage sisters
a small portable record player
spinning 45's
the dream was real
they would drag
me into their room
to "practice" dancing
I hated it
8 years later
I was thanking them
and my love of life
now has no bounds
the harmony
of living energy
is distilled to joy
our music sets it free
Donald Magill Ahh shadupp
