You know a song is a heart ripper when just listening to it can bring a grown man to tears. Let me tell you a story involving this song. Back around the 1970 time period a man that I come to love as a brother lost his wife in a liquor store robbery that went sideways. He was about an hour out of town when it happened. This song came out in the mid-60s and the flow of the song was something they loved. Sadly Gloria entered a liquor store and was browsing the selection when a man entered the store to rob it and a gunfight ensued. Gloria was hit by a round and did not make it. My friend was lost for many years after losing her. Somehow he got through most of the 70s and married his 2nd wife Annie. They have six beautiful daughters. One day as he was walking with his daughter this song was playing on the radio close by. This daughter later told me he dropped to his knees absolutely destroyed. This man was about 12 years older than I am. He lost his battle with Covid in the fall of 2020. The true beauty of this song can be summed up by all six of those daughters and grandchildren singing it as they walked away from his graveside service before his internment.
If you have ever had a summer romance, this song just hits it. Tearing up as I type this, flooded with wonderful memories of a summer so long ago but seems like it was only yesterday.💜💜💜💜😘😘😘😘
Back in 1990, I worked on a Summer Camp in Pennsylvania, having travelled over from the UK. Whilst there I met an American girl, working as a counsellor just like me, and fell head over heels in love. Unfortunately my father back in the UK became seriously ill and I had to return home, we kept in contact for about 6 months but then drifted apart 😢 Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of her, except unlike in the song, it was me that was leaving and not her. Oh to be 21 again and not have a care in the world.
Aah, your words speak volumes. Those with your thoughts, understand exactly. Always preserve and thank God for those moments. Many of us on 'the same page' have own memories. Yours is special though, no doubt.
IF this song doesn't put a smile on your face or put you in a good mood better have your blood pressure checked NOW. Their soothing voices 50+ years later have stood the test of time. 1964. A great year for music. I was 11 years old. I wanna go back to a better more simple life. Any takers out there???
Would be nice. To return to a simpler time and place. I’m so glad we still have this beautiful music to listen to and dream of our youthful days. These songs still rock me to sleep at night.
Isn't that something!? it's amazing how they've retained that smooth tone,even though they're not "boys" anymore it sure does make for it. I wouldn't remember this piece 'cause I was in diapers, but I can remember as an early memory a few years later when it still being played.
They kept them probably because they didn't strain their voices so much by singing intense songs, taking better care of their voices than other singers do.
I am always teary eyed whenever I hear beautiful songs from the past, more so with this song of Chad and Jeremy... so heart warming. Nobody does song like they do anymore. Thank you 🙏 Chad and Jeremy. You just don’t know how your music touched so many hearts 💞 out there !!!
Absolutely beautiful. What a great song and a great performance by these two all the years later, even better without all the orchestration. Just two guitars and two great voices. I just heard today of the death of Chad Stewart. Very sad to hear of it.
Thank you for posting these wonderful videos of Chad and Jeremy. Comforting to watch in the sadness of Chad Stuart's passing today. May he fly with the angels.
This song always made my heart ache and it still does. It's that indescribable longing and Chad and Jeremy captured it perfectly. I just learned of Chad's passing. Rest in peace, dear soul and thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
What a lovely, romantic song. It came out just as Karl and I met. The song says it all as we spent that summer in love. It all ended when his father found out he was seeing me. He was 16 and I was 19 and the worst part, I was a Mexican. I had been a very cloistered Mexican. My parents didn't allow me to date so we only saw each other during the day when we walked along Grant Park, along the lake, after we worked at the Field Museum. Then when his dad found out about me, it was over. We saw each other one last time, in the rain as Karl pulled up in his dad's car to tell me he could not see me again and it was exactly like a tragic scene of a movie. The car pulled off and I was left standing there in the rain with a broken heart. Oh, the tragedies of being a teenager.! It's all in the past. I got married eventually, had a wonderful husband that loved me despite being Mexican and we had a boy and a girl that are now wonderfully successful. He's an engineer that travels all over Europe and she is a logistics manager for a famous company. And now I'm retired, should write my memoirs for my kids. And Chat and Jeremy will always remind me of that sweet romance during that summer of 1964..
I just came across this and felt compelled to respond to your post. The same happened to me but in 1982. My girl friend and I decided it was best to part. Her parents liked me but did not want me to marry her because I was not white. We decided to go on a final date to the beach. On our drive back, she fell asleep on my shoulder and this song came on the radio. It was a fitting song for a very hard time.
I was born in 1981 but my parents kept me on a strict diet of the greatest hits of the 50s, 60s and 70s. I used to listen to 97.1 KISN FM Portland, OR's Oldies station, and I used to A Summer Song, I also saw the episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show they were guest stars on. Thank you for the memories of my childhood.
I was born in 2000 and I was constantly fed 80's and 90's by my parents and I listen to this anyway. along with beach boys, simon and garfunkel, jan and dean, the four seasons, herman's hermits, and many more.
I just have to repeat another's comment. Because it's a perfect point of view. "This song always made my heart ache and it still does. It's that indescribable longing and Chad and Jeremy captured it perfectly" WOW!
This gave me a thrill even as it made me sad that I was no longer a kid in Brooklyn, watching my older brother put the 45 on the hifi and hearing it for the first time.
PacificCircle1 I was 7 in 1964, and remember this beautiful song playing on the radio. Older sister bought the 45 and we played it over and over. Awesome music to get to grow up with at that time!! No better time to be growing up, with the most incredible music in history!!
So good for so long. Heard and met them in my favorite little theatre in Three Oaks , Michigan a few summers ago . And really nice guys too ,it seemed. This of course was the last song and I think one of the best ever.
Today March 22, 2022 HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY JEREMY🎂🎁🍾🥂 Wishing you all the best always !! Good health, joy, success in your endeavors, happiness love & peace. Wishing you could come to the Philippines again. Stay safe & God bless you 🙏🥰
Usually you dont find such perfect harmony & likeness of sound unless the singers are siblings i.e. The Everly Brothers. So I'm guessing they are brothers??? Gonna go check. It's just beautiful!! Nope, not siblings....even more amazing!
It's just so sad that we will never be able to see them perform again. Discovered this wonderful concert and wondered if the entire show is available. In many ways, I have enjoyed them performing live more than on their studio albums. they still had great chemistry together. Anyone know who their bass player was.
I never get tired of hearing this beautiful song. The sixties was a decade of great songs.

It was only yesterday in our memory. Like time never happened. This song is so comforting and tender.
Yep. The only way to tap back into that youth is through hearing songs from the time we were there.

Never had a summer romance so this song tore me up then

Amen!
I am so with you!
Would be nice. To return to a simpler time and place. I’m so glad we still have this beautiful music to listen to and dream of our youthful days. These songs still rock me to sleep at night.
They kept their warm and tender voices over the decades. It's nearly unbelievable. What a good job! Thank you for posting !!

I can still hear the youthfulness in their voices, incredible!
Love this sweet, lovely, summer song, reminding one of youth. Heaven is good, Chad. Yes?
Their voices are still so beautiful. They have matured very well.
RIP Chad Stuart, December 2020. May your Summer Song now never end.
I love the song, I was a little girl @ that time I heard the song in the radio back home in my country.Memories .R,I,P Chad.
I am always teary eyed whenever I hear beautiful songs from the past, more so with this song of Chad and Jeremy... so heart warming. Nobody does song like they do anymore. Thank you 🙏 Chad and Jeremy. You just don’t know how your music touched so many hearts 💞 out there !!!

It just doesn't get much better than this. EVER! Extraordinary talent, musically, and vocally. We have been blessed to be here when they were.
RIP Chad. Thank you for the music and memories.
RIP Chad Stuart. Maybe my favorite song from the 60's. I remember as a kid seeing them on The Patty Duke Show. Another part of my childhood gone.
It truly is a song that make people feel good. This is such a sweet song!
Amazing how their harmonies are still crystal clear - brings a tear and i was only about 10 years old when they sang it originally👌🏻
Thanks for watching!!!

Floods of memories from the summer of '64 between my junior and senior years of high school.
Now imagine the magic to the children of the time. I was 8 or 9.

Why don't we have that beautiful music, voice harmonies chords etc...this days... Man !!!🎹🎤💗it
Best music 💖💖💖🎸👍👍
Usually you dont find such perfect harmony & likeness of sound unless the singers are siblings i.e. The Everly Brothers. So I'm guessing they are brothers??? Gonna go check. It's just beautiful!! Nope, not siblings....even more amazing!
So special remembered this.
Too, too good!
Whoever clicked on thumbs down must be deaf or unable to control their own mouse.

A beautiful song!
Nantasket Beach shedding a tear😢
Outstanding

Bravo !!!

Lovely song.
60 years on, a little slower but still as wonderful as it was the first time.
Flat out great.
It's just so sad that we will never be able to see them perform again. Discovered this wonderful concert and wondered if the entire show is available. In many ways, I have enjoyed them performing live more than on their studio albums. they still had great chemistry together. Anyone know who their bass player was.
I remember a Silver Maple in the Summer breeze. .Simple things . .
Wow, that's Oxford sound, but old..so nice..
Came here right after seeing them on the Batman TV show. Not only did they get their voices back from Catwoman, they have kept them ever since.
Rare beauty.
