My parents loved dancing to this, dad's been gone almost 40 years. My wife and I were just with mom at the nursing home today, she's going down hill fast with the horrible disease of Parkinson's. She asked me to play this on my phone then started singing along with Patti. My wife started to tear up knowing/seeing mom doesn't have much time left but was enjoying the music. I will play this song every time I see her until she leaves us to dance once again... with dad in heaven.
Have you ever cried for OTHER people's memories? That's what this song makes me do. Special thanks to the artists who wrote, sang, and played this beautiful gift.
This was my mom's song ~ her husband (my father ) was killed one night just as he got home from work , by a drunk driver . She would play this song often thinking of him .
I was four years old when this came out. My mom and I were listening on the old vacuum tube radio when this first played. Mom told me to pay attention since this was the biggest song ever. Mom is now 100 and I'm a senior citizen and I still remember that old crummy radio playing this song.
This is the only song that makes me cry 😭. This is the theme song of my mom and dad when they were still alive. They used to dance this song with so much love and affection and we were all mesmerized with my siblings as we watched them on the floor🤗🤗I know they still dance with this song in Heaven🤗🎹🎼🎶Miss them so much😅🚴🎹🎼🎶
What a beautiful story. My parents danced in the kitchen a lot. We always listened to music on the weekends when we cleaned and cooked. A song would come on and my dad would ask my mom to dance. My sisters would be dancing with each other or the door frame while cleaning. ❤️
What a wonder of singing! Patti Page is a soprano, but so velvety - in the lower tones - and like a nightingale in the high ones. It is the way she sings that make her voice so moving.
My dad's friend used to play this around the campfire. It brought a tear to his eye. I've seen my dad tear up maybe twice before. Now this song always makes me cry.
tears od joy of course? i heard this and ol man river from grandpa shortly after grandma died. he saw Louis in MA in 51 or 52 one summer. a drunken weekend story i heard from him ;)
I danced with this waltz in 1956: happy memories, no drugs, no knives, no guns, and no for many things that unfortunately now exist in our society today
@@ilanpi Not a sheltered life I lost my father when I was 18, just before 2 years of compulsory national service in the military Later I lived in London where people who came later from abroad have changed its character One example: in 1956 I had a scooter in London and parked it by the curb untouched overnight
When I was much younger my mum house was full of my brothers friends after they been out and they all come back to my mum and play These songs I love listening to them now and wish I was back there
This was my Nana’s favorite song. The day she died I played this song for her and she loved it. Every time I hear this song (this version) I get teary eyed and think of her.
Mark Savella I'm so very sorry that you have lost your Nana May your Nana Rest In Peace 🙏 and may you and your families 👪 and Emergency Workers also find Peace 🌹 🌹🌹🌹
“Tennessee Waltz” was composed by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King in 1947. Patti Page’s rendition is the best known version of the song and the largest selling record by a female artist in recording history. In 1965, this became one of Tennessee’s official state anthems. “Tennessee Waltz” was the last piece to sell a million copies of sheet music. 💙🎼💚 May you rest in peace, Clara Ann Fowler, a.k.a. Patti Page (1927 - 2013)… 🌹
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
The Saturday night dance was very popular in the fifties. Many people will respond to both the words and the song. Nobody could sing it better than Patti
Wonderful song, back when music was loaded with talent. Also, her song change partners. Good song to slow dance to, too. They don't have slow dance songs anymore, as well as a lot of other things
I was watching 'NOVITIATE 2017', heard its tune in the 5th minute.... searched for it and found it to be TENNESSEE WALTZ.... I loved it.... I asked myself why this song in that film? I realized Cathleen's mother lost her loved one (her only daughter) to the church as she had introduced her to that community and Cathleen developed the desire to become the nun.... perhaps it was a single mother's expectation to regain happiness from grandchildren who would never come again..... it's great film to watch!

90年上大学,这首歌让我入迷,谢谢Patti Page的歌陪伴我渡过无尽的长夜!I went to college in 1990 and this song fascinated me. Thank you Patti Page for accompanying me through endless nights!
In the summer of 1953, when I turned 5 years old, this song was always on the radio. My sister and I were staying with my aunt's family at Fort Knox, Kentucky, while my mother was in Mexico for health reasons. I loved to sing the first few bars of this song, but my 10 y/o cousin would tease me, saying, "Oh really? Who's your darlin'?"
A world that is long gone. There was ugliness in it, but also great beauty. Now we live in a degenerate age where ugliness is worshipped and beauty is despised and mocked.

Tennessee Waltz is a mind-trip of a song journey in itself and personally for me as well: it's a song about a song that doesn't exist written by two men about a man losing his sweetheart to an old friend but became an international hit when sung by a female artist despite it being released on the B-side of a Christmas single no one remembers. A year later a Japanese version was released by a teenaged girl in English and Japanese and it became such a hit in Japan, that when I visited the country over half-a-century later, Japanese people would often remark when they heard I was from that state by saying "Ah, Tennessee Waltzu!" In fact, I first heard the song in Japan by a female singer at a blues club in Tokyo (I had grown up more with Rocky Top myself). When I finally got around to hearing Patti Page's version, though, it all clicked together as to why this song became as famous as it did. She truly owns this song.
Thank you for your comment! It helps explain the data for this video, which shows me that an almost equal share of the audience is from the US and Japan.
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin' My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Now I know just how much I have lost Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz 🎺🎺🎺 I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin' My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Now I know just how much I have lost Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
When I'm not feeling good , I always dreamed of my mom and dad in heaven watching over me 😔 Then I'll play this music to imagine that they're just in the dance floor happily and sweetly dancing 🥺after a few more playing this song suddenly as if was magic,,,I started to feel good again🤗🚴🚴

I was her honest junkie of songs. She started her singing in 1950. Her voice and sound were soft with charm. I was her audience and spectator to listen her songs.

One of my dad's favorite songs. I found out that this lady was his first girlfriend when he was very young. She lived across the street from him. I love her music. She and my dad died just a few months apart.

I did everything I could to try to remember this song. I could envision her walking slowly down the steps as she began to sing, and knew it was a slower song--- but somehow was searching for her in the 1940's, when I should have realized it was the decade of the 1950's. Tennessee Waltz!!! I adore her vocal control and angelic tones. SO GLAD YOU POSTED THIS, thank you!
