I was so in love with a boy named bob, use to sing him this song.. i was too young to know about love ...I think of him often and yea I miss us , our youth .. he married and is happy from what I hear .. but i will never forget him
Yeah, it’s so fun to relive our past. How innocent it was and how special it was and how we got butterflies it just the thought of holding a girls hand for God for bid kissing her. Times of changed so much now with simply the way people talk in the lyrics and music and the expectations of girls nowadays. I feel like the first day they’re going to be talking about wap or her wet ass poosey and all the vile things he’s going to do to it. There is simply nothing sacred and beautiful and special anymore now that the media has exploited every single thing that they can. I’m glad I did not grow up in this era. I told my kids you guys are so different, after five minutes of texting or chatting on the phone, you were asking to send nude pictures to each other. That was so far off our radar as kids, like I said it took a hell of a lot Of nerve to even call a girl up on the phone for a date and then to hold her hand and ask her to go steady with you. Gosh I hate this generation doesn’t get to experience that. It was priceless
@@scottblackwell5789 you are so right .I remember beautiful songs like "Hey Paula "I miss those days too , everything was so innocent and the girls were sweeter , they didn't have tattoos and cursed.Now I don't know the music is disgusting and the dancing is dumb.Look at TikTock the girls shake their behinds like sluts.
How lovely you remember him so well. At least you have nice memories, if nothing else! It’s wonderful how certain songs transport us back in time and remind us of nice things. I hope, maybe, one day, you’ll find another Bob to love, and sing this to. Best wishes to you ❤️
I used to get to see Susan live a couple of times a week, when she was one of the resident acts at Butlin's in Bognor when I worked there for four months in '88.
WHEN I WAS IN OMEAGA STREET INFANT SCHOOL PORTSMOUTH IN 63... MY TEACHER USED TO PLAY THIS ON THE PIANO FOR ME... AND THE REST OF THE CLASS WOULD SING ALONG...GREAT SONG
I don't think its my age - but why in the 50's and 60's does there seem to be far more good looking women who also had great voices, clear so can hear the words
Had years of not listening this song, and now I rememeber so many things of my Senior Year in High School. Still good to listen to, with clearly pronounced words, so no guesswork is necessary.
Susan Maugham seems a lovely lady who enjoyed performing this song, although mimed. Her sunny personality pulls it off. I wonder if this was from the old "Sunday Night at the London Palladium" show..
Love this version by Susan Maughan; the hit version in the UK. Personally I always preferred the Marcie Blane original as it came from the heart of a teenage girl and had an innocent appeal. Great upload anyway. Thanks.
What inspired him to write a girl's hit song? Who was Bobby? Would be quite demeaning in this day and age for women libbers. What song was on the flip side?
Interesting comment about an issue of innocence. It is valid but then is that terribly important? Not sure. Also until I came across the SM version recently I only know of the MB version. I enjoy listening to both.
AAAHHH! NEAT STUFF!! THANKS SUSAN MAUGHAN. I USE TO SING THIS SONG AROUND THE HOUSE WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER!!!! 1963!!!!!!! HMMMMM!!! THOSE DAY'S!! WERE SUPERB INDEED!! FROM(U.K.).
+We are where we are the reason why there isn't any women of her caliber is b/c most women don't know how to sing.. singers like Susan are few & far between..
The crazy part about these times was that smoking was so acceptable and almost expected. I’ve never smoked, but I’ve been around a couple girls who did and I would not kiss them if they were the last girls on the planet earth due to the horrendous smell of their breath much less the taste of it.🤢🤮. I don’t know how everyone got past that back in the 50s 60s and 70s.
I never get tired of this, straight away it takes me right back to junior school. She made a lot of money from this song and kept it all in her beehive.
Hello - Is there any chance that you have a clip of the other song Susan Maughan did at this Royal Variety Show 1963 - "It Might As Well Be Spring" ? It's the only one of her filmed recordings that I know of that I haven't seen. It did appear on a DVD - "Susan Maughan - Hey Lover!" along with 16 other songs by her ; but all I ever found was a scan of the DVD covers.
Apparently when I was a small boy I visited an aunt's house. My cousin was playing this on her Dansette record player and I played it over and over for the full day, driving auntie half-crazy in the process. An early manifestation of my tendency to OCD.
there are still good girl singers around today but the public of today are not educated to know about these singers they just dont know they are still around and many younger girl singers to take their places too the record industry can get away with low talent and pay low prices for there singing too look up dazlyn singing this is my life linda brennan solo at the barn birmingham on u tube mmmmmmmmmmmmm top class
Met this lovely girl at West Brom when she sang with a band. Talented,and beautiful.Wonder if she remembers me. Would like to think so. Often Mention her.
Always thought she was very pretty from her photos, and so she was. I come from the same part of north east England as Susan. Never really another hit after this one. Where are you, Susan?
I had forgotten how pretty she was. However, when this was released I hated it. It was 1963 (the proper start of the 60s, music wise) and acts like this dressed and sang like leftovers from the 50s. The 60s was my time (I was 12 in 1963) and I wanted to listen to blues-oriented music from my era: Animals, Manfred Mann, Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Small Faces, and lots more. Unfortunately the charts still had a lot of past-their-sell-by-date acts from the 50s (most of whom should have stayed there), who insisted on wearing drapes, quiffs, beehives and other 50s garbage. Cliff Richard, Bobby Vee, Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Craig Douglas and their ilk should have gone quietly and allowed a better form of music to proliferate unimpeded by greasy-haired and lacquered dinosaurs.
Pretty harsh since "good" stuff is always good, regardless of trends. So, did you dig the bad girls, The Shangrilas?, or The Ronettes? Too much beehive for you there too. I am old enough to recall that the beehive was an early 60's thing, not a leftover from the 50's. BTW, I adored, and still do, all the groups you mentioned.
@Alan_George_Barstow: You hold no punches. Based on your philosophy, we will, now, need to discard all of disco, 1980s, etc. Watch out, Beyoncé and Bieber, your expiration date has been stamped! GO E
Totally agree! Marcie was my teenage crush. I loved her rendition of the song. I never knew about the other one with Susan until about a year ago. I had the pleasure of actually meeting Marcie in a club 30 years almost to the day when her song was very high on the Billboard charts. I danced with her and even sang karoake to her. What a dream come true! That happened about 29 years ago. I'll never forget it. She was just as sweet and beautiful as I remembered her in 1962 from her TV appearances.
She started her career in your grandads orchestra and a very fine one it was by all accounts, so you can be very proud of your grandad and the fact he set this young lady, off down the road to success.
