    A time a place a feeling we all long for so deeply. My Doo Wop now at 79 is healing, warm, wholesome, comforting, and I seem to feel arms around me slow dancing once more. It just makes me feel alive. It's "Our" place, time and feeling. God bless us who have that little spot that will forever be "Lost In the Fifties!"

      Absolutely, I to at 79 listening to this music brings me back to those great times. High school dances and driving in my convertible in the 1960's with the top down with my girl by my side without a care in the world.... please take me back to those fabulous times. Never forget!

      James and everybody that replied to your pertinent comment. We were part of a hallowed music harmony time...the music was us. It coursed through our veins and brains...It could make us bright or sad, sometimes both at once. It had radiance which projected within us. It still does.

    Today on UA-cam listening to Kenny Vance and Donnie Owens sing this song. Donnie's version was what I grew up with, therefore, my favorite. There seemed to be such heartbreak in his voice. But, how did I never hear this version? Another take on it. As good as it is, Donnie's version is forever my favorite.
