I play this song over and over again but I never get tired of listening to it. I miss my little sister so much, the memories we created bring me happiness and sorrow at the same time. May her soul rest in eternal peace
There's always songs for everyone whose had loved ones die I know I've had my husband loved my prayer by the pretenders he was 28 when he died in 1970 so every song is something to somebody condolences to you and your family.
Priceless! Perhaps the most beautifully orchestrated of all of his recordings. Anita Carter's version and this are my favorites, both magnificent in their own way. What a pity arrangements were not made for them to record a duet. What a much greater pity that Brook Benton only lived to the age of 59. I get depressed just thinking about it. He was a high class gentleman who appealed to high-minded individuals, as is easily discerned from reading the comments associated with the best of his songs, including MORE, MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT, BLUE MOON, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO, EVERY TIME I'M KISSING YOU, LOVER COME BACK TO ME, and my all-time favorite, THAT OLD FEELING. It's an outrage that this immortal vocalist has not been honored by being placed on a USA postage stamp.
Ruth Boykin: Figured you would be "all in" on this one! (I returned to that comment I left you on the BeMisty ch LETTER LINED IN BLACK video to leave a couple of more leads, so you may want to return to see them.)
I am shure he is sining this son for me in memories of my dear husband,I play this every night . I is just like I am saying these words from my heart to my lips.Pure tears.
Other versions are available, notably by Willie Nelson, Andy Williams and Ray Charles, but for me, this is by far the best version. So much feeling and warmth to his voice.
Brilliant version of this classic Mickey Newbury written song. I love Brooks version - but Mickeys version tops all - there is no bad or poor version of this song - many many cover versions - from the biggest of stars..
I bought this on vinyl (by accident) in 1973 I walked into a record shop as this bloke was telling the assistant it wasn't the one he ordered so I said "well if you don't want it I'll have it" but can anyone tell me what the B side was PLEASE

I'm sure Willie heartedly approves. Brook does, as always, a great job. A voice with soul.

There's always songs for everyone whose had loved ones die I know I've had my husband loved my prayer by the pretenders he was 28 when he died in 1970 so every song is something to somebody condolences to you and your family.
so glad I was around in the fifties with all the great singers and songs Brook was one of them.
I never get tired of playing this track, masterful emotional song.
My favorite all time singer singing a song written by one of my favorite song writers, Mickey Newbury. Can't get better than that.
Sadly missed still highly appreciated ____ sing on my man

Anita Carter really surprises by singing that classic.
Bring back so much memories of the days when I was young and in love, I even remember the words :) Can't get any better than this.

Brooke Benton is a wonderful singer
I am shure he is sining this son for me in memories of my dear husband,I play this every night . I is just like I am saying these words from my heart to my lips.Pure tears.

Have you heard Ray Price's version? It, also, was smooth and mellow.
Tony Hemingway: Anita Carter's version
and this are my favorites.
I agree. You can understand every word, and every word touches my heart.
I agree with you, Excellent version
Agreed. Ray Price really doesn't disappoint by singing that classic. @@tonyhemingway7980
Brook is singing about my breakup with my woman. Memories don't leave like people do. Still love her dearly.
It is widely known hit Benton... this song many singers sing... Magical ! ⭐ ❤
Loving the music, thanks for sharing!
Wonder..wonder...wonderful !!!! THNX
Oh, this is SOOO beautiful!! He remains one of my all-time favourite favourite singers with his velvet voice! Thank you sooo much for posting!!
Just the best by a trillion miles
Best Version of Sweet MEMORIES that I've ever heard
What a Great Voice.
BRILLIANT SONG REST IN PEACE BROOK GENTON
Sweet memories of you Sharon. Love you.
He my number one singer the best rip
Sweet memories of my first love who has past.❤❤
Great voice.. unending memories..🌺
From the Brook Benton LP "Something For Everyone"...I think it's his best LP and I've got them all.
Me too, the best singer of a romantic song, no-one to touch him.
Truly a master of his skill
Man,how cool is this,a vocal
genius. check out...Can't take my eyes off you,sums up his gift.
Waoh, I thought it was it impossible to beat or tie with Ray Charles version, but this one is right up there as well.
He is/was the best like Sam Cooke .... I love the song never heard this song before... Thnx
When I am asked who my favourite are, I pick out Sam and Brook, different in their genres, so each the masters of their realm.
GREAT WORDS

매혹의 중,저음의 목소리 부룩 벤톤 언제 어디서고 그의노래 소리는 저만치 뒤에 멀어저 있든 날들을 생걱케 합니다.잘듣고 갑니다.
This song was written by the late, great Mickey Newbury.
Smooth as a velvet best wualuty

🎼⭐️⭐️
Great song by a fellow SouthCaolinian. Andy williams aalso did a good version
Brook's M-G-M recordings were poor sellers. I always like to know who arranged his recordings.
he did/ he also was nat king cole's personal arranger. I toured with him in1967.
Smooth baritone. Too bad Brook isn't better known.
Damn
What a voice. Precious...to keep forever
O máximo.
