As a white drummer growing up 25 miles south of San Antonio, I grew up with this great music. Jimmy, Little Joe, Sunny Ozuna and Rene & Rene among others. Played the old Teen Canteen across from NE stadium. Talk about real MEMORIES. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
I remember listening to this music as a kid in the 80's on the Southside of San Antonio. We didn't have much, but we had my dad's music. This is timeless. My mom has since passed away but I can remember my parents dancing to this song as well as others. We were poor but those MEMORIES were priceless.
My pops is now resting he to used to jam to Jimmy, he was from Santo,TX, Southside, Zamora &GILLETTE Pete Limon Sr. Marine Corps,1976,1977,1978,yrs he was in, His music, 🎶 in memorys,
The oldies but goodies. I'm reminded of my parents by this music. My dad is such a proud Chicano! As a result, he instilled in me and my siblings a sense of pride in our culture. My dad had one of the biggest Tejano bars in San Antonio, Texas back in the days, R & R bar and grill off Mitchell. He really made that place big. Roberto Pulido and his wife often visit my dad and his now-new wife (my mother passed away years ago). It's the nostalgia that kicks in; Having cookouts and family gatherings, listening to Tejano oldies but goodies, Jimmy Edwards, Freddy Fender, etc. The good old days aren't coming back, but we can always remember the good old days. I'm thankful for the memories of my childhood. I'm lucky to have been raised in a family that embraced their culture. I'm proud to be a Chicano. RIP Jimmy Edwards!
The R&R Bar & Grill - How well I remember it. That''s where I met the woman who would become my wife 16 months after we met. She passed away in 2014 after 19 wonderful and memorable years.
I can't listen to this song without crying. We use to drive to San Antonio TX just about every other weekend to visit family and Dad always had this song playing. So many great memories. Miss you dad! Until we meet again.
Nick Levey you must not be a true Jimmy Edwards fan, this song has been around since the 70's, or you just might not be old enough to have heard it when it first came out.
Graduated from South San in 75, lived on Peabody street SouthSide, this song brings back memories of grand parents, parents and all my cousins, I have since moved to Florida . When I hear this song all those memories come flooding back.
I will never forget going to the starlight ballroom in Houston Texas a long time ago but I'm 64 and I will have memories of that my whole life 💞💯🎉🎉🤕😂🙏😘🥴🤠
What wonderful memories this song brings, my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles at family gatherings all dancing, drinking and just enjoying life. Seems like we have lost those sweet times.....
I remember going to Rosedale Park, The Royal Palace and watching Jimmy perform. I never knew I would be missing such a talented person. Thank you San Antonio for my childhood and many precious memories. ❤️
This song takes me back to my teenage years (70s) living in my little town of Uvalde, Texas. Simple, Happy times listening to great music and day dreaming of love and life. Nostalgia at its best. Thanks Jimmy for such great MEMORIES....
Remember growing up we used to play all these great songs while doing chores around the house. Especially if we wanted to go out Wes-Mer Drive In or skating at Vera's in Weslaco, Tx.

Crying 😢... reminds me of my dad living in San Antonio growing up when dad played bass in a band. Who use to to go to Rosedale Park to hear music with our parents they danced we played good times.
I'm so glad my older brother turned me on to this music it so nice that we can understand this beautiful music what some people are missing out on so much our music will never die and things sure have changed from back in the 60s the good old days.
I was in high school at 'Roy Miller High in Corpus Christi when this song came out and man it brings back great memories.Thank for wonderful trip to the past.
I remember we used to go there and grind the floor dancing to Cumbias. In '78 I was a bridesmaid in my Brother's wedding and the reception was at Del Río Ballroom on Speedway/I-10. Omg, remember the walls there? They were painted in glow in the dark colors, made me dizzy but blamed it on the alcohol. We'd also hang out at El Casino where we covered the entire dance floor doing our steps to many rancheras. Then last year my Brother❤ was the guest of honor at El Casino for a fundraiser. He filled the ballroom with people supporting him in the fight against Leukemia. FYL Memories yup Memories !
Damn sending my prayers to his family ...true legend... damn I remember my family would cook asada in the backyard an listen to all these classics , my dad loved all that old school Tejano. I am happy to have been brought up to appreciate this song, RIP to my dad an RIP Jimmy Edwards
I remember back in CC TX in Carroll High in 77 and being a Monarch YMSC brings back blessed memories. I love it. To bad we can't go back, but we will always have the memories that will never go away.
This songs reminds me when I lived in the south side n my cousin Steve Garay belonged to the Kingsmen Lowrider Club. Bring a back alot of good memories. Love love oldies but goodies.....
Danny and the Dreamers........HOLY MOTHER OF GOD..... someone remembers this band.........far out. my cousin Richard was a sax player with them. That has been a few years..... GO RED RAIDERS.......
My brother was stationed there in Alaska in 1976 when Jimmy played there. My brother said it was great music, and it was packed! My brother passed away in 2020, but he talked about the great band of Jimmy Edwards and Music they played. May both my brother and Jimmy R.I.P.
I remember standing by the stage listening to Jimmy and the Latin Breed when we played on the same ticket in San Antonio ! Those were the days !! ( Rory Romero the guitarist for Little Joe back in the good old days ) Latin Breed you were one of my faves! I fondly remember catching a ride from corpus to San Antonio with the Latin Breed than going to the club to play pool and have a few beers before heading to Temple Texas what a good time will always have the memories !!
First time I got to see him live, 1976 , bought a ticket for a show in the auditorium at Ector High School in Odessa TX. have been a fan forever. Many memories with my friends at the dances at the Pan American Ballroom. Will miss him.
