Why is it as a guy, I still get so teary eyed when hear any of Johnny's songs after all these years? I am now 70 years old & love his songs, such a great person Johnny was...❤🙏✌💗✝👍
Kudos to the people at Disney in 1955 for discovering this talented guy. This was when Disney discovered talent and didn't create it. R.I.P. Mr. Crawford!

Mr. Crawford what talent I admire you, I enjoyed the rifleman as a child, I even remember watching you sing as you got a little older what a voice and now that I am an adult I find myself going down memory lane I find myself watching the rifleman reruns and I enjoy it just as much I really love watching how Mr. Crawford loved his Pa and how much he respected him he played his role so well I can feel the love thank you for making my childhood so pleasant then and even now as an adult. I Thank GOD for you Mr. Crawford God Bless you, your wife and family. ( I love your songs too such a wonderful voice) 🎤🎵🎸🙇♀️
All those bubblegum songs the studios made those 60s starlets crank out: Johnny was one of the only ones who sounded like he enjoyed what he was doing. Lovely and tuneful. Of course he went on to a career in music.
While a student at the Los Angeles City College Broadcasting Dept., in 1965, I organized a contest involving the young star of the Rifleman TV series, Johnny Crawford, the actor who played the Rifleman's (Chuck Connors) son on the show and who also had a hit single called “Cindy’s Birthday.” The promotion offered a young woman student a date with Johnny to Disneyland. I went to Disneyland with Johnny, his agent, and the winner of the promotion. Johnny’s agent took publicity photos of everyone.
Was he a genuine person or a spoiled Hollywood type? And just for clarification..... I worked in Hollywood for a few years and got to know some pretty big names myself ;)
Every now and then I discover an artist and I become obsessed if they have extremely rare talent...then I listen to their songs everyday...johnny Crawford is my new obsession...he is gifted...his vocals are so sweet and pure and innocent sounding...the tone of his voice just kills me...your nose is gonna grow is a sweet lovely song .
Absolutely 100% correct ! I saw you 90's Country play list > very impressive !! My Classic Country playlists are of the late 60's, the 70's and early 80's. !!! Check it out.
I bought this song on iTunes and I have listened to it 148 times on my computer alone. That's not even counting all the times that I've played it on my ipod...
I can remember hearing this on my late sisters 45 record player, you know the kind that you could stack up to 10 45 singles on and they would drop down one at a time. She also had Wayward Wind among her singles and Image of a Girl and oh yea Sacred. She has been gone many years now but not a day goes by that she is not in my thoughts. This is most certainly a great song from a bye gone time.
What sweet memories of your sister. I remember my sister stacking her 45’s of Ricky Nelson, Johnny Crawford, Elvis, and others and letting me listen to them in her room. Great times.
I GOT THIS ON A 45 R.P.M.SINGLE on the Del FI label as a young child.When I got a little older, I saw Johnny Crawford on The Rifleman.I still like the song! Thanks for the Upload R.K.
I just saw a couple of episodes of "The Rifleman" and this song kept going on and on in my mind,so I came over here to UA-cam.I liked it at age 15 and I still like it now.
I carry your books ..... I give you looks that say ... I love you !! I send you flowers .... Spend my hours thinking of you But I saw you late - last - night You were holding another - boy - tight Go ahead .... explain !! But remember .... if you lie !! The boogie man'll get you And your nose is gonna grow .... So remember .... if you lie !! Everyone will know Remember - if you lie Your nose is gonna grow !! And everyone will know You're holding my hand !! Making plans to spend - together Promising me .... that our Love will be forever !! If everything you say -is true - Who's the boy I saw - with you !! Go ahead .... explain !! But remember - if you lie The boogie man'll get you !! And your nose is gonna grow .... So remember .... if you lie Everyone will know .... The boogie man'll get you !! Your nose is gonna grow The boogie man'll get you...
The lyrics to this obscure oldie not only refer to infidelity but also for Astrogate as there are some noses growing in the Astros front office like Pinocchio who set up the espionage scheme as the incriminating evidence is mounting on the modern day version of the Black Sox scandal.
Also referring to the gross deception and mendacity by Dr. Anthony S Fauci during the COVID XIX P(l)andemic and its diabolical narrative abd its side effects
Currently watching The Rifleman on Amazon Prime. Great western for the time and the chemistry between Johnny and Chuck was real. They really felt like family.
Isn't this top drawer bubblegum from the early 60s? Wonderfully melodic, from a kid with an instinct for singing. True joy for it, making his young voice an instrument. Johnny went on to a career in music, and there's no mystery there.
This song is sung by Johnny Crawford from The rifleman I just discovered it today great voice. Such a fine actor, your nose is going to grow rest in peace Johnny I watch you since you were a little boy on the rifle men
Probably the only hit record/hit song from the Top 40 era of rock and roll that had the nerve to include the words "the boogeyman will get you" in the lyrics of any song ever written.
I like songs from the 50’s and 60!s because the instrumental is as beautiful as the vocal! Often orchestral sounds. And the words are so clear! Which is more than I can say for most songs of today. For most of today’s songs I don’t call them songs, rather, noisy trash. There’s a general lack of beautiful melodies and there is too much screaming, like they are trying to show off their vocal power more than singing! You see that a lot on American Idols, America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor! Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston are examples of screamers! Susan Boyle, Adele and Bruno Mars are some of the rare good ones of today.
Well, it must of been before my time, but my earliest recollections was of him on The Rifle Man. this is the first time I'm hearing this song, and its pretty cute.
Such a talented young man--makes you wonder why minor talents like Justin Bieber are so popular today (well, in his case, not so popular anymore, which is a good thing perhaps).
I remember when this came out before it was a hit. He sang this at the Hillside Mall in Illinois. He was pretending to lassos girls and was close to getting my girlfriend and he just missed stepping
I was listening to this song right now and it got me wondering, all my exxx's had long noses. I had one Babe who had a nose you could have planted a nest on it. You know something, she did own a Parakeet!

Silly title but I have loved this song from day one. Johnny has a great voice.
He had a Fantastic Voice
I heard this song in 1962 in Victorville, California. Thanks, Mr. Crawford. R.I.P.
His sincerity is so precious.
At such a young age he definitely knew what he was doing.
He was a good actor, too!

Now cool was that!
Was he a genuine person or a spoiled Hollywood type? And just for clarification..... I worked in Hollywood for a few years and got to know some pretty big names myself ;)
Did you know he is battling Alzheimer's disease now? 😢 Praying 🙏
Every now and then I discover an artist and I become obsessed if they have extremely rare talent...then I listen to their songs everyday...johnny Crawford is my new obsession...he is gifted...his vocals are so sweet and pure and innocent sounding...the tone of his voice just kills me...your nose is gonna grow is a sweet lovely song
.
Yep!
I too find myself obsessed with him and his voice. I listen to him every night when i go to sleep.
I really like his voice and his humor
Heard this song (for the first time) at the local Walgreens, I came straight home and found it here. ...Cool song.
I found it at Walgreens too! Ha ha. Totally though it was a lady singing at first!
+Jessie Klineschmidt
I never knew. that he sing.
Jessie Klineschmidt It was... her name was Christine Quaite.
THIS IS SUCH A PURE SONG COMPARED TO ANYTHING TODAY
u got that rite
Pure times compared to today's garbage society.
Absolutely 100% correct ! I saw you 90's Country play list > very impressive !! My Classic Country playlists are of the late 60's, the 70's and early 80's. !!! Check it out.
Thank you SO MUCH to Johnny Crawford for this TREMENDOUS song and his career! It is so very sad to learn of his health problems!!
I never knew he sang. Very good! I always had a little crush on him my dad was a Rifleman fan.
All thumbs up for this great song !!!
Boy that takes me back!! Love it!! Had such a crush on him!! RIP.
Have always loved this song. Great music.
I have love this guy. Mark from Rifleman and i just maybe one day I could meet him. From Mission BC Canada.
I bought this song on iTunes and I have listened to it 148 times on my computer alone. That's not even counting all the times that I've played it on my ipod...
I knew Johnny from "The Rifleman", but I didn't know he was a crazy singer. Cool
Oh, yes, he had at least 3 big hits: this one, "Cindy's Birthday", and "Rumors".
Yea same, I love him as Mark McCain❤️❤️❤️
Multitalented... and funny too! Mom is laughing over here! LOL
I am so in love with Johnny Crawford, the song sindys birthday brought back so many memories.
Box he was so damn beautiful.
I can remember hearing this on my late sisters 45 record player, you know the kind that you could stack up to 10 45 singles on and they would drop down one at a time.

What sweet memories of your sister. I remember my sister stacking her 45’s of Ricky Nelson, Johnny Crawford, Elvis, and others and letting me listen to them in her room. Great times.
yes wayward wind was a cool song but hard to pick who did it the best Googi Grant or Frank Ifield ????cheer's
All great songs.
I GOT THIS ON A 45 R.P.M.SINGLE on the Del FI label as a young child.When I got a little older, I saw Johnny Crawford on The Rifleman.I still like the song! Thanks for the Upload R.K.
pop music is so much fun to listen to and then to remember as life goes by.....great tunes make great memories
Love it! What a blast from the past...the bogey man will get you...they don't write lyrics like that any more.
Junior high memories! Love "Rumors" and "Cindy's Birthday" too.
Every time I hear him sing, my heart melts a little more. I think I'm in love.
So cute, enjoyed watching him in Rifleman. Wish he'd still be recording.😘
I had this record in the 60s played it quite a bit on my guitar as well. Great memories.
what a fantastic photo of Johnny. I love the wisp of hair hanging down from the rest of his hair
I haven't heard this since probably the early 70's. It truly is one of the all but forgotten songs of a great time in music
Now forever singing from the grave RIP 1946-2021
fantastic song dont miss a thing made my day
I just saw a couple of episodes of "The Rifleman" and this song kept going on and on in my mind,so I came over here to UA-cam.I liked it at age 15 and I still like it now.
+Garland English There is an episode of The Rifleman where he sings "Greensleeves" and it brings a tear to the eye.
MAN THIS SURE TAKES ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN I LIVED IN CHESTERTON IND.
Very catchy song by a very talented singer and actor.
I absolutely love this song. I still have my 45.

Ronald Herrera thank you so much i didn't know the lyrics of this song
The lyrics to this obscure oldie not only refer to infidelity but also for Astrogate as there are some noses growing in the Astros front office like Pinocchio who set up the espionage scheme as the incriminating evidence is mounting on the modern day version of the Black Sox scandal.
Also referring to the gross deception and mendacity by Dr. Anthony S Fauci during the COVID XIX P(l)andemic and its diabolical narrative abd its side effects
the boogie man will get you and your nose is gonna grow, OH! great song, takes me back to wonderful times.
OMG.... 💞💋💓🍀😇😎. I Soo remember this Song... Tapping on My nose!
Currently watching The Rifleman on Amazon Prime. Great western for the time and the chemistry between Johnny and Chuck was real. They really felt like family.
I still enjoy his songs even after all these years!
Johnny is a real sweetheart
Oh to be a teenage girl in 1962!
I was 13 GREAT TIMES
This is an odd comment from a someone named Gregory....

This song is sung by Johnny Crawford from The rifleman I just discovered it today great voice. Such a fine actor, your nose is going to grow rest in peace Johnny I watch you since you were a little boy on the rifle men
LOVE YOUR NOSE IS GONNA GROW. LOVE THIS SONG .
This is one of the most beautiful songs out there
Amazing!
Probably the only hit record/hit song from the Top 40 era of rock and roll that had the nerve to include the words "the boogeyman will get you" in the lyrics of any song ever written.
like this song......like the background music
Loved everything he was in
Awesome,way to go Johnny.
Thanks for a great memory!
Such a tenderness sweet voice.
Glad to hear and see him again!!!!!!!! Thanks for this post!!!!
I like songs from the 50’s and 60!s because the instrumental is as beautiful as the vocal! Often orchestral sounds. And the words are so clear! Which is more than I can say for most songs of today.

Susan Boyle, Adele and Bruno Mars are some of the rare good ones of today.
You are correct. Melody has practically disappeared. Pick a random Billie Eillish song. There’s no melody. It’s hollow and not memorable.
this is music sung at it's best. full orchestra, horns, violins, don't stop .
yep
I LOVE IT !!!
@@lorraineduhamel8406 I LOVE IT !!!
i always loved this song -what a great oldie -i think its awesome
Unfortunately, I did... I used to love this song. I can still remember most of the words. I LOVE JOHNNY !!
Love u forever johnnny ❤️❤️❤️
Great song.
Would really like to meet him one day... I liked his later songs too... That he did when he was older.
Angel in the flesh 😇
My kind of music!
I miss pre British invasion music. Things for American acts other than Motown and Beach Boys got knocked off the charts.
I loved Johnny Crawford aka Mark McCain......funny, he reminds me so much of my first husband.
Mark McCain. Lucas was the father.
Oops! Yes Janet I didn't realize I had put Lucas which should have been Mark...Watched it religiously...😉
RIP Johnny
Thanks for this, one of those elusive ones been trying to track down.Excellent. And he can sing.
De casualidad he encontrado esta musica y es muy hermosa, ya lo he bajado a mi celular, gracias.
Great song
Well, it must of been before my time, but my earliest recollections was of him on The Rifle Man. this is the first time I'm hearing this song, and its pretty cute.
Such a talented young man--makes you wonder why minor talents like Justin Bieber are so popular today (well, in his case, not so popular anymore, which is a good thing perhaps).
yeah it is
Have you heard the youtube videos that made Justin famous? He is very talented.
Bieber is just the latest version of Ricky Nelson
I remember singing this song all the time when I was in grade 10,
beautiful
I remember when this came out before it was a hit. He sang this at the Hillside Mall in Illinois. He was pretending to lassos girls and was close to getting my girlfriend and he just missed stepping
File this under "Perfect Pop"!
I remember that song.
Love the strings and the full orchestra, which seems at odds with lyrics like "the bogeyman will get you".
so true..lol.....how about does your bubble gum lose it's flavor...
it reminds me of a time when everything in life was going right. almost seems like a fairy tale now
J.C. I love you ! Watching 'The Rifleman ' on ME TV......... FREE TV !
My God I Absolutely love music from those days. Lol and today we garbage pop and rap
Rest in peace said he passed away pretty much penniless
I was listening to this song right now and it got me wondering, all my exxx's had long noses. I had one Babe who had a nose you could have planted a nest on it. You know something, she did own a Parakeet!
R.I.P
The late Johnny Crawford played Mark Mc Cain on TV's "The Rifleman"-He was a pretty decent singer,as well.
Re town Crier, it was Al Hibler.You can locate it on the Unchained Melody album
How sweet.
A time that is over. Now its crime and hate etc.
Sorry to say... I forgot about this song. I remember most of the words. Boy, did I have a teenage crush on Johnny Crawford !! STILL DO !!
