@@SimirJohnson A nightmare . He was my neighbour growing up , he and his family were okay , not bad people and they did without some things and they worked at music . Many of us thought , they went at it the wrong way , they grabbed a fast pay day . Maybe if they tried something else , it would have not worked at all , at least they did something with their lives . Ed what have you done? The funny thing is I do not find Paul or Ringo on here or Cher , Madonna , Led Zeppelin making nasty remarks ,it is always the people , that have not , that say the most negative things.

I was 13 years old when I watch this for the first time I love this song!! Had a big crush on Tony DeFranco! 🥰 love the childhood memories

I loved this song when I was growing up. Tony was a little cutie and his sisters were so pretty. You should see Tony now. Hes still adorable today.

My daughter is now 56….took her to see the DeFranco’s! What fun I had going to these fun concerts! Another one…The Osmonds….including Donny! She went on to get a degree in Music Therapy! Fun times with her taking her out for fun!

I was listening to this with 15 yr old ears , now I just heard it with 60 yr old ears and it makes me feel just as good now as it did then , Sure it's a bit cheesy but it was my time and I wouldn't trade it for anything .

For the times, they were rocking it, no doubt. Everyone loved this song.

We had been living off base in Japan for about a year when this song came out. Growing up in Japan and Okinawa in the 70's and 80's was a blast!

Brings me back to my bedroom in Ohio.... I was in love with Tony!! And, wanted to look like his sisters! A terrific song! What a mature voice for his age.... gorgeous family.

I was a very young boy and this song was right down my alley. The Jackson Five, the Osmonds the Carpenters … puppy love and Pepsi Summers.

This song brings back memories of being a five year old in the early 70’s and my heart skipping beats to this song. I feel so young whenever I hear this song. Thanks for that ♥️

Oh my goodness I haven't heard this song in years! The memories!
