- One of my favorite old songs, recently rediscovered and now set to a slideshow of old pictures that (I hope) brings it back to life and does this great old song justice... Special thanks to Tommy Kaye for the song and everyone else who helped find the images to make this possible. Thanks for watching... enjoy!
NO WAY!!!! I haven't heard this song since I was a little kid! Wow, that was almost 40 years ago. I couldn't help but feel tears welling in my eyes... a sad song but happy childhood memories.
I have looked for this song on other web sites to no avail, yet here it is.
Thank you so much for posting it!
Such a beautiful song, and almost forgotten, we don't hear this on the radio anymore. We have been deprived of such a wonderful song. Thanks for posting it.
Summer of '72 this song played all the time on AM radio in Ontario. Really nice song, well done.
I have this 45 from when I was 16 years old & played this song over & over in 1972. I just discovered it on you tube by seeing Frank Mills on Face Book. This is a good day...
This was the first record I ever purchased. I listened to it for hours every day. The world has changed and life has changed. I'll be gone soon but the truth will never die.
wow, what a tear jerker... tuesday will be my son's 8th birthday. i haven't seen him since he was three and a half... one of the last things i heard him ay was "mommy, why can't i just stay with daddy?"... i had no idea that she was planning to take him away to another counrty, with no connection. nor did i know it would be the last time i'd ever see him. michael jesse bootland cywink... happy birthday son, i love you and miss you like crazy
This song chokes me up every time I hear it. Such a sad song. I think many of us can relate to this song.Three days ago, on November 10, 2015, my wife and I had gone to see Frank Mills in Chilliwack (Appropriate as this song mentions that the old man died one cold November day) and he sang this song among others.Apparently, this song was inspired by an organ grinder that Frank Mills had seen and heard when he was a young boy, and the rest is history.After the concert, I was the first in line to have the 2 CD's and 1 video that I had purchased to be autographed by Frank Mills.I had told Mr. Mills that I was so happy that he had sung this song, and that it choked me up every time that I had heard it on the radio. Mr. Mills seemed a bit surprised at how this song had moved me, but he thanked me for that and for coming to his concert. Then I shook Mr. Mills' hand and thanked him for coming to Chilliwack.During the concert, Mr. Mills was so down to Earth, and he kept thanking the audience for still coming to his concerts! Thank you Mr. Mills for coming to our city!!!Also, just before the concert, Mr. Mills had reconnected with a man who had worked for his dad when Mr. Mills was just a young boy. This man had kept a memento since their childhood and gave it to Mr. Mills. Mr. Mills was very moved by this act of generosity. Mr. Mills had mentioned this man during the concert. They talked again after the concert.During the concert, Frank Mills had said that he now lives in the state of Vermont, just south of Montreal, with his wife and their livestock, but that he is still a Canadian. What a legend!
This song just popped into my head this morning.I hadn't heard it in years & HAD to see if I could find it.It's still beautiful & still a tearjerker!Thank you for posting it here!
Haven't heard this in AGES. Probably not since 1972!!! It was HUGE back when!!!!
This song takes me back to Grade 6. Loved singing along with it then...and still remember the words! Great song...good memories...
YES WAY!!!! I hadn't heard it since I was a kid either and worse yet nobody I knew had ever heard of the song! I was incredibly happy when I was able to find it and even happier to "give it" the video it always deserved to have and prove to everyone I had told about that it DID exist! Glad I was able to make your day... thanks for the comment! :)
Out of the blue I thought I would search for this touching tune that I have not heard in at least 30 years. Hearing this again is tremendous thank you so much for posting.
AM740 in Toronto still plays this wonderful song. It's on my iPod and gets heard at our house all the time. Thanks for putting the pictures together -- great job!
was 16yrs old when this song came out and had the lyrics memorized
I still have the single! I love this song!
I so love this song 72 was the best. Took me years to get hands on this album
this is a lost classic i remember this as a kid growing up. thank you
I remember hearing this song as a child. Thanks for bringing it back to life!!
I really love this song - I used to hear it play on my car radio all the time back in 1972 a time when I was going through my period of lonliness. Great job on the video!
this was my sister fav. song when we were kids, i miss her ,
I've been looking for this original version for 35years!!! Thanks you so much, fantastic job on the matching images.
What a good song. I remember this song when I was a kid
I haven't heard this in nearly 40 years. Thank you SO much for posting it. Reminds me of my days in junior high school. Thanks SOOO much!
Thank you for posting this song. It holds fond memories for me about my grandmother. She used to play the record for me over and over when I was a very small boy. Actually the first time I ever wrote my name was on that record. When I think of her I sing this song.
Another song no one remembered...thank you.
guy you should contact frank and ask him to proclame this this the oficial video for this song . he would be crazy to say no. the great job you guys did on this vid has truely imo honored this wonderfull song. thank you.
Haven't heard this in years. It came out when I was 12. Thanks!
My pleasure... it was one of my favorites for years too and then I couldn't find the song anymore... when I did I knew I had to "give it" a video worthy of the music and lyrics and hope I was able to do so... Thanks for your comment... Happy New Year!
...and beautiful comment too...
Sorry to hear about losing your Grandpa at such an early age... hopefully part of him lives on in this song every time you hear it...
i havn`t heard this for many years,, but i still remember all the words, thanks for bringing back some very good memories ...
Just get chills listening to this
This was the number 1 song in Canada the week of my birth, 6 march 1972.
@082863, "Cannot live without music."
You are so right. I have one of Frank's albums with this song, listened for hours.
Music, music, music. That is why I am subtitling favorites songs from my past and other songs that touched me, even though at the time, I could not understand all the words.
Now with the internet, I do.
Music, music, music.
Glad you liked it... this song/video was a labor of love but it's just too good a song not to have a great video behind it! I appreciate your comments... thanks! :)
@guynextdoor4u Wow....well, that's my "News Of The Day"! I'm 39 years old....born & raised in Canada, and I NEVER knew he sang anything. My mom & dad are big fans, and I always bring my albums with me when I visit them. I'm planning on seeing them again in March or April...can't wait to spring this one on them! I contacted Mr. Mills last year and told him how important his music was to my family. Next thing I know, he mailed me an AUTOGRAPHED copy of his last album (2000 Live performance)!
She loved me ... but cancer took her from me ... but I love her still ... I always will.
The old mans question why,is answered by this song writers philosophy.Good job on this video,it fits the song nicely. Take care ADonovan43
What a truly beautiful song!
Yes I do enjoy it very much. I had this song also. It is a very sad song but the music gets to a person.
Great song; loved reading all the comments. Amazed no one has said it sounds like Lobo.
IT DOES sound like Lobo! It's funny, when I was a boy , I thought this song was a minor hit that no one else had heard but me. But it seems like many, many others like and remember it too. I believe he did the instrumental Music Box Dancer.
My pleasure... glad you liked the song and video. Hope you enjoyed watching it was much as I did making it! :)
I had this song and loved to play it back then - and even know. I almost forgot about it until I heard his lp played today. The good old 70's and 80's great music.
Thanks for your time. I really enjoyed it.
Ditto! Your selected images suit the poignancy of this old nugget of a song. Very nice indeed.
I know why I cry when I hear this melody and many like it...the words "and tell the world his story...'til death could ease his pain"...it seems that's what I've been doing all too long and now that I'm ready for death to ease my pain..my precious sweetheart is begging me not to go..she doesn't realize I am approaching the point where I won't be able to take it anymore...if this next round of treatments fails, then I've got to tell her I need to leave and I just don't know how...
AWESOME > AWESOME > Concert in St. John's Newfoundland , Canada . I hadn't heard this song since high school & still remembered it when Frank sang it on stage to a packed house . We sang this song in a high school concert in 1973 , WOW Great Memories .... THANKS > FRANK
Before I even knew what 'love' was, i was attached to this song. Perhaps, what I think was the harmonica, or other instrument, and then the vocalist sound, plus the lyrics, how could one not want to want this? True love is sure to be argued as the happy ideal, but when that true love leaves, as I understand this song states, this true love was now gone thru death, one can only feel the deepness portrayed. Absolutely one of my best sounds of music ever - thanks to those who created this.
Thanks for your kind words... it was such a great old song and it deserved a great video to bring it back to life... glad you enjoyed the video I created!
lovely job on videos and this olde song bring back the 70's memories when i was18,wow!!! sweeeet 100-100
saw him in concert in 1981 in edmonton ab and still remember it today
I have this song on a 45. Thank you for posting this.
yeah that is a great old song,I remember
my brother singing it in his country band back in the 70's
Thanks Guy
wolfman3344
Excellent job!! Really captures the essence of the song.
I love this song. Reminds me of my high school days. I still have the 45 record. Another great song forgotten by radio. Guy, excellant video. Thanks
This was played on WIP in Philly. Excellent video, and I appreciate the slides being sync'd to the music--something you don't find much on YT. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful song...slide show was well done. Thanks for sharing this. Always loved this song!
Thanks fo posting this song, first and last time I heard this song night long was in 1974 with my cousin lying in Delhi College hostel room. We had it on a casette and somehow the tape got ripped. My cousin was very sad to loose it. I have been searching for this song every now and then all these years.
It is such a great song with a sad story and beautiful music.
I've not heard this song since 1972!
One of my favorite oldies got a big instrumental hit called music box dancer that's from him too
great video....great song
wow I don't think i have heard that since 1972 and growing up in Detroit I remember this song from CKLW (the big 8). Awesome video and ty for sharing
Yea, I remember the old CKLW commercials that would come on and say, this is Motor City News, CKLW. Motown will never be the same.
fantastic!!
thank you so much for this.. beautiful song and images..
Wow, just WOW. I was 14 in 1972 and listened to this song on the radio at the time. I had the lyrics memorized back then and over the years for some strange reason I never forgot them. I'm now 55 but would sing this to myself over the years. I've been looking for this song for years. I didn't even know the artist. Thank you Trevor.
That is exactly how this video came to be... anyone I mentioned the song to had never heard of it and I remembered it from when I was a young guy too... when I finally came across it again and remembered what an amazing song it was I combed through thousands of great depression era pictures and created the video you see above... Glad you enjoyed it!
Trevor Jensen
Then you must also be congratulated. The song, for me, was timeless. It was a favorite for all these years. But the presentation is extra ordinary. Thanks so much.
So glad you enjoyed what I did with it... however it is the song that tells the story, I just helped! I can only take credit for my own music also here in my UA-cam songs like "Coming Home" which is my song, performance and video! :)
MrWashingtoneagle Same with me, I was 12 in '72 and remember hearing this on the am radio back then but I don't know if I've heard it since. It's a really nice song which tells a great story, so happy I've found it again. And to Trevor, fantastic job with the photos, they really fit the song
Thanks guys... glad you enjoyed it! :)
Wow,I've not heard this song since 1972!It sounds a little different than what I heard on the radio back then.
Thank you for sharing this track.
thanks for posting this man
I wish you the very best in your recovery and hope that the next round of treatments works for you and makes you well again... if for some reason it doesn't then you need to sit down and just talk to her... she loves you and she WILL understand... best of luck to you, my friend...
Thanks for putting this togeather. It's one of those songs that was on the airwaves constantly in 1972 and then you never heard it again. A bit on the sappy side but so melodic you gotta like it. I couldn't even remember the name of it or the composer so when I stumbled on an old Frank Mills record that had it I had to smile. Thanks again.
Is this the same Frank Mills who later came out with Music Box Dancer?
man thats old i remember this tune way back in 1972 i was in midland ont an old group home use to listen to it on the radio going to school way back then 680 cftr am radio cftr is no more man i got to get a copy of this later all
the slappa
great song I herd this song on kdka when it was new ive herd it on am 740 cfzm several times
Thank you so much for this. It's one of those songs I've been looking for, but I couldn't remember the title.
brings back lots of good memorys
a great canuk classic!
thanks for sharing this!! I remember listening to it on 8-track.
Thank you, so very much, for all the work you did on this video. I remember this beautiful song, and am so happy to have it back. Thank your friends for all the help in finding the wonderful pictures that bring it to life. It's deeply touching. Frank Mills had a wonderful voice, then and it's fantastic that he is still in the music business!! The backstory - on Wikipedia of Music Box Dancer is fascinating.
Thank you! Trevor.... One of the best video interpretations I have ever seen on UA-cam! -- Cheri B.
I got his album that this song is on. Played it for hours and hours.
Great slide show.
Make more!!!!!
AWESOME job on the video !! Great song !
Thank you so much! One of my favorite songs from the 70s I thought i would never see it posted. Excellent job co-ordinating the song with the pictures.....well done
much appreciated
I started the vid, fully prepared if not fully expecting to be simultaneously distracted and disappointed by the usual obligatory accompanying photo montage. I could not have been more wrong. Now I'm wanting to use words like "brilliant" and "universal" to describe the accompanying photo story. Kudos to the uploader.
Thanks for your kind words... it was a pleasure to create this video and to share it with all of you!
There was only one version of the song ever released so perhaps over the years you remembered it differently... this is the same one (and only one) that used to be on the radio!
@MrBuckwilliam That HURTS! Even hearing the story brings memory of my own family's breakup. my folks were talking too loud about divorce. our house was not complete, and I heard them. eventually, they heard me crying, and came to see what was wrong. I was sure that if I went with my mom, I would never see dad again. and if I went with dad I would never see mom again. The only thing I understood was I was going to get hurt no matter what. that was 40 yrs ago, and I still cry to think of it.
It should have been a #1 song, or at least a top 10 million seller. Listening to this made my life worth living. I thought the name was "If you love me love me love me why did you ever leave me girl". I also thought Neil Young sang this song because it reminded me of "Heart of Gold". The only time I heard it was when me,a 9 year old & my dad were waiting on my mom to come out of an edifice in downtown corpus christi while it played on the car radio.
Fantastic job of syncing the (well-chosen) images to the song! Like a previous viewer, it took me years to get a hold of the original lp that this was on... great job, thanks...
It's really too bad that this song and the lyrical version of Windsong are now out of print. At any rate, the video is awesome and thanks for sharing the song. :)
Sad song from college days.
All I can say is I'm bawling my eyes out right now and I really don't give a shit why...I just gotta...
Amazing how what seemed like such a big hit in Canada in 1972 seemed almost forgotten only a few years later. Anybody know why he stopped having vocals on his records? And was that Frank singing?
Yes that was Frank singing... amazing he didn't do it more often!
wow, the picture of the couple with the handsome man with the pipe really is powerful, do you know anything about that photograph? I would love to know that couple's story, great video, btw
A hell of a musician that Mills;
Grew up on Egan str. Verdun Qc...
awesome
what a great vid... :)
@couzinitt sorry this is the only version I am aware of... I can't imagine it being this good without lyrics so it's probably better with them than without them... :)
I GOT THE VINYL LOL
rip monica
most people don't know that he sang "Stay Awhile" with the Bells
Frank was, indeed, an original member of The Bells, out of Montreal, but left the group before they recorded "Stay Awhile".
Probably,it has been a pretty long time too.My friend had taped half of the song on her cassette from the radio.
@ThirdOfJune4444 This song was a favorite of mine as a kid as well but when I got older nobody had EVER heard of it! When I rediscovered it I just HAD to create a video worthy of it (even though it meant looking at 100,000 depression era pictures to do so...)
I look forward to hearing how your parents enjoy it and seeing their comments as well... Cheers! :)
@guynextdoor4u I will definitely let you know...they will be very surprised! I also just heard "Poor Little Fool", and I think I like it better than "Love Me Love Me Love". Nevertheless, he's a talented vocalist! A shame he retired in 2000 but we can't all be working forever, I suppose. That's my shocking news of the day...WOW! Who'd have thought.........Franks Mills SINGS! I'm gonna tell EVERYBODY I see today (on the streets or at work)...LOL!
I'm confused about who sings this song. Is it THE Frank Mills? As in...Music Box Dancer, Frank Mills? THE Canadian Frank Mills? I have most of his albums, and wasn't aware he performed a song vocally.
