Kim has also recorded under the stage name Baron Longfellow since the mid 1980s

So I'm at the Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show that follows the Chuckwagon Races last night (July 13, 2018) and the announcer says 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Andy Kim', and he's lifted onto the stage from a sunken platform singing 'Rock Me Gently', I almost choked on my funnel cake. Everybody was singing along and having a great time. As this is one of my all time favourite songs of my childhood, I was having an 'out of body' experience. Still can't believe it... he followed up with 'Sugar Sugar' and asked us all to sing along (like he had to ask) everyone was on their feet!

[@MrSpicoli21]

I was born in 1969 and came to age in the 80's and early 90's. I could never understand when I was young why my parents always listened to 50's music, I just thought they were old and didn't know better. Now I understand, music is about remembering a time in your life and soliciting a feeling that has been lost only to be rekindled by a familiar tune. Often I use this music as a therapy session when life gets hard, it takes me back to a simpler time when music was such a large part of my life and I was carefree. My car radio is usually on 80's on 8 or 90's on 9 and guess what? My kids just think I'm old and don't know any better.

I do feel like music died in the late 90s. The feel became very commercial and fake in every genre. I feel old now but thank the Lord we have Sirius XM.

Loved this song as a little kid. Heard it alot and remember his name being popular. He has a similar voice to Neil Diamond.

[@lonnycook1187]

Brings back memories of the 70's .sitting at the table with my new love listening to it . a Great song for all time

[@rjwalker4153]

When I started my first year of High School in September, 1974, this song was on the bus radio almost every day on the way to school. Great song. They played it so much it doesn't surprise me that it got to number one. Brings back fond memories..

I turned 13 in 1968, about the time the Archies sang Sugar Sugar, written by Andy Kim. I kissed my first girl when this song was playing, we sitting on her front porch. Hi Robin.

[@Strangleholdintn]

She told me about this song!

Write about it. Let generations after you read about it.

[@ksc743]

I was 11 and Sugar Sugar was my first 'favourite' song. Life was just beginning!

[@thewoodsmandrew]

These old tunes still make me feel good. My brothers rocked out to them in the early 70s.

[@kathyallen7964]

This brings back so many great memories of my late older sister. We shared a room, and she had a 45 record of this song. We played it on a loop and turned into disco mamas!

I first heard Rock me gently when I was visiting family in the Denver Boulder area in August of 1974, it was played on on radio station KIMN AM950 Denver. I was in the Navy, transiting to San Diego from Norfolk, VA. Great times then, great music.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Christopher O'Rourke great music back in the summer of 1974. I was in the Marine Corps, transfering from Camp LeJeune, NC to Okinawa. Great times, transport me back.

[@annbell3869]

Christopher O'Rourke Thank you for your service to this country sir. God bless.

Guitarzan Spiders and Snakes and She's My Girl, Bill were hilarious hits of Jim Stafford.

WOW !!! such a GOOD memory !!! I DO,,,, congratulate YOU!!! i AM JUST about the same,,, when I listen to a song that really TOUCHES me !!

[@thomassullins8690]

Thanks for not saying "transitioning".

[@yossarian6799]

I hear this and I'm suddenly 7 years old, perched in the back "rumble seat" of our big blue 1972 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon as we head from our home in Easton PA to spend the day with family in Syosset NY. The radio's tuned to WABC "77" with the legendary Dan Ingram as Mom hauls ass across the GWB like Mario Andretti, with all us kids jamming to this song, bobbing our heads and singing at the tops of our lungs like pint-sized rock stars...

[@eddiejohnson9559]

The 70s had a lot of fantastic music today's music can't compete no way

[@3djall]

I was born 1962 and I love all music that i could understand the words. My love is for the 50’s 60’s 70’s (80’s big time!) call me old but they don’t make music like they used to.

[@speedygreenie]

I know it's unusual for someone born in '82 to have nostalgia for a song so much older, but I grew up in the 18-wheeler with my godfather (born in '38). So all I listened to in the 80s and early 90s was music like this. I still love this song.

[@tennyc]

this song has the same infectious bubble perfection as "Sugar Sugar" which Kim wrote . many thanks for this clip xo

[@carlreed4568]

This is when love songs were love songs not the trash they have now

[@kevinbeck6785]

so correct what a time to grow up in........

The 70s may have been boring but it was the greatest time to be young music wise

3djall there was nothing boring about my 70s.
