I'm listening - God, we were awful eejits. We used to go to the Olympia Showroom in Waterford and drool over the band. I think we used to pay 2.6 to get in. All the men were lined up on the right side of the room and the women on the other side. I remember one night we were there when this fella came over and asked a woman to dance. The conversation went something like this: "do you want to dance" . Her response was; I can't Murt, I have corns on me legs". To which he responded "A pity they're not on your feckin' arse". This was in Waterford in the early 60's. The priests used to damn us. Rockin' roll was the devil's work. Does anyone remember those days? I'd love to hear from other people.
There is no one like him the way he sings... And never will be ... What A shame .. He was fantastic... Not one can come near his vocals... What a voice ... Legend... And such a great personality....we were at a few of his concerts... Couldn't believe how good he was... The new shower haven't that voice.... He was totally unique... What a true voice... Miss that guy x... Beautiful singer .
Joe and i were sitting in his pub having a few beers the day that he got the telegram informing him that this song had reached no1 it was another few days b4 we got out of the pub lol
I first heard Joe Dolan on a cassette player at 17 or 18 well I had to see and hear this gentleman live he is better singing in person made my holiday ❤️🏴😇
Joe and his music have been a part of my life since the 60s. Dancing to him and the band and then going to all his shows in Belfast. Joe and the very talented Drifters were among the few entertainers who braved the bombs and the bullets to come and entertain us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💖
Best voices are kept in memory only.... I was in my youth when this song was already old but still got to my heart where it still is today.... Again, true to the saying that good things never dies.
One of Ireland’s greatest singers. I just met him just once, he was simply a wonderful human being. Gods gift to the world & had such a unique voice, so uplifting that it touched your very soul. So sadly missed but never will be forgotten. His music & beautiful songs will live on in our hearts forever. May he rest in peace🙏💗😇💙☘️🌝💚
