    My Dad would say "rock me gently " in lieu of cursing when he would get angry when we were kids, love the song.

    Saw the Sugar Sugar video and then this, back to back. What a thoughtful, grateful, well-spoken guy he is.

    I never realized how much I love this guy and his art, but I do! He definitely brought something very positive and uplifting to this world. I imagine he was very humbled to learn that's why he's here.

      For the longest time, I thought Andy was 'Neil' until finally seeing his video for the song on Tube LOL...What a great story Andy Kim! :)

    Wow, this is exactly what I had to hear today. I would love to hear more about this session. The arrangement, engineering, prodction and performance was perfect in every way.

    It's amazing how many "tune ups" led to a song. Slash was "tuning/warming up" and created "Sweet Child of Mine", Mick Jones was "tuning/warming up" and created "I Want to Know What Love Is".

      And Randy Bachman of Guess Who was tuning his guitar, live on stage after having broke a string, when he came up with the riff for "American Woman".

    Yeah, memories of my childhood at the University College Hospital doctors' compound in Ibadan-Nigeria in 1977. If only songs like this could made these days !

    Andy could Rock Me Gently and time anywhere. He still is one sexy man after all these years.

    I was 8 years old when this single was a hit and I loved it then. It is still my all time favourite song bar none. If it was the only song I could listen to from now until I die, I'd be very content and happy.

    When I first heard it I originally thought it was a new Neil Diamond track. What a fantastic song!

    When he speaks, he sounds so much like Gene Simmons, minus the attitude.

    scratching my head here: watched a video of Ron Dante who the singer of the Archies and Cuff links who sang this song. He says Jeff Barry wrote this song . Help

      The man made more money off of both Sugar Sugar and this hit than a lot of us will see in a lifetime. But hey keep up the hate.

    • @johnbenard9550
      @johnbenard9550 5 років тому +2

      Show some respect, why stop and comment if you hate? Move on, no one needs to read your childish insults. Both Sugar Sugar and this were # 1's in more than one country too, so millions disagree with your rude opinion.

      @russallert 5 років тому +2

      Let's hear your big million-selling iconic hit. Oh right, you don't have one. That's why you're anonymous.
