I got married to the widder next door
She’s been married 7 times before
And every one was an ‘Enery

O the memories . We’d walk around singing it and never bought the record

Hadn’t thought of that one in decades Oh bo dee oh doe!
Listening to the Delfonics, Over and Over . They had some songs that were hits even though they were never released as singles

People think this one's corny, but it was the first rock song that I really understood...

I was crazy about this song. Him and don McClean had the two longest songs then. Dons being American pie. I think 18 mins?
Thanks so much for posting it so I could hear it again

One time I played this for my son. It worked.

I really liked this one, too ...
Hadn't heard it or even thought about it in many years!

Still sounds so good ...

p.s. Cool idea for a thread!

Literally, at the 3:41 mark in this video is how momma welcomed me home from school!!

Mom loved music, dancing and singing and there was no escape!!

Excuse me but did this happen to you at home, ha hahahaaa!!!

Ever since I saw Yul Brenner in The Ten Commandments I loved him. I've never seen this movie (but I did watch this clip) and what a great actor he was.

My wife and I still listen to music from the 60s. In fact, hits from the 60s are our favorite music. There are almost too many hits to list, and many of them were performed by groups that only had a single hit. I thought it might be fun for each of us to list a few. I'll start it off with:

Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf
Do Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann
Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys

Ronnie Dove was a favorite of mine back then; One Kiss For Old Times Sake and Say You Over There were two of his hits. I liked Bobby Vinton and The Sir Douglas Quintet from El Paso Texas!!!

I have only heard Dion's version of this song. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.

For some reason, this song started playing in my head. I wonder why as I have not thought of it for decades, but it was one of my favorites back in the 60's.
