Johnny Rivers - Slow Dancing Swayin To The Music

[@paperclip7300]

Nothing better than moving the coffee table out of the way, and putting this song on nice and loud, with the lights down low and dancing with my bride of 30 years. It just doesn't get any better.

[@matt-yw7xm]

Agreed 1 million percent!

[@Daehawk]

Song makes me cry now. Used to be so fun. But I lost my girl 4 years ago after being side by side for 31 years. Since I was 18. Still its a wonderful and beautiful song. I wish you and your girl a hundred more years my friend. Nothing like being with your true love. Your soulmate.

i honestly think this is why relationships don't last as long as they used to. when music like this was around couple's listened to it and fell in love all over again. music is so important. it ignites the flame that was slowly dying. I will always listen to this music.

[@ruthiekumar8770]

Based on the music I hear, there is little falling in love music that has been put out there lately. Thank God for our older stuff.

[@hunterthompson6025]

it is true, what you say...it has kept me feeling very much in love with my man, even thru the times when I thought I was ready to hang it all up and walk away...love is a great personal investment, in my opinion, and after 20+ years there's a whole lot to lose if that investment is allowed to slip away...nope! I am in it for the long haul and no matter what we've seen or been thru, I wouldn't trade it for the world, and I definitely WOULD do it all again.

Kinda got choked up at your reply. True words have never been spoken, today's people change partners more than they change underwear and sleep around not caring who they hurt!

[@harleytutor]

I’m 25 and can’t stand today’s music. But Dean Martin and Bob Crosby, the four tops and the four seasons, beatles and beach boys, eagles and CCR. These are my tunes. I grew up listening to kono 101.1. What use to be the oldies station in my area. Now they play more 80s and 90s stuff. IMO that’s when rock and roll started on the down beat. Same with country. That died in ‘05.

I’m not old enough to be married but this song. I have never. Ever. Cried over a song so much in my entire life. This song. My dad used to sing this to me every night before bed and we would slow dance together. And I remember having to stand up on my bed so that I’d be tall enough to hug him. And now this song just means so much to me. I grew up with this song. Hearing it for the first time in probably about ten years really just hit me like a sack of bricks. I hope one day I can sing this to whomever I get married to and make it an even more special song

My husband had this song dedicated to me when we were dating. We were both 25/26 and lived with our parents trying to get our life back, so we had no where to go to be alone without families staring at us. We found an old empty lot close to his house, and we would talk about our future together. We eventually got married and then tragedy struck, he was killed 6 months later! This song is so very special to me!

We were sitting in a Northern Illinois Forest Preserve when this came on. We actually got out of the Van and started Dancing in the parking lot. At that moment the snow ended and the Moon came out. Beautiful Scenery, Beautiful Girl and a Great song coming from the many speakers. Didn't matter that it was all of 15 degrees out.

[@Lucille69caddy]

Len Drury Like Linda Ronstadt, he made a killing covering other singer's songs. Like Linda Ronstadt, he had a lot of talent. Elvis and Sinatra also made a killing doing covers ("My Way" comes to mind). My issue is if you think he's highly overrated, why waste your time listening to this tune? If I don't particularly care for a performer, I will scroll through him/her. Just my two cents.

Mega hit at the old roller rink in 1977. The world was a lot better place when I was a kid, at least mass culture was definitely a hell of a lot better.

[@LittleSlim78]

Oh yea. I agree. The times were better in the 80's when I was a kid. So I can bet it was good in the 70's. It was ok in the 90's. But the 2000's, it seems like people don't care about anyone but themselves and it's only gotten worst in the last 5-10 years. Man I wish people would be like back then. Life was so much simplier and better back then.

[@ozaru90]

+LittleSlim78 I was born in 1990, and growing up in the 90's and 2000's, I can certainly attest that people have become MUCH more self centered and arrogant. My generation, hell, most Americans 40 and younger are extremely arrogant, and at times, very foolish and judgmental. I am fairly disgusted with how people behave in this era.

[@foto21]

Caedus Decivus I actually think a lot of millenials are more polite than Gen Xers. Frankly, boomers are one of the worst, most spoiled generations ever. There are squads of old American men that have ludicrous insane views of the world. I think millenials are fine, other than their music is derivative and often, but not always, sucks. Same is true for their art. They are money grubbers, but that's nothing new and there's less money out there to chase. People are over-obsessed with their nothing electronics, but I don't think they are rude generally.

[@ozaru90]

Good to know that there are at least a decent amount of people in my generation that have given a good impression. I suppose it depends on where we live, in some regard. I agree that the tech we have is a bit ridiculous; I've never bothered having a phone any more advanced than a flip phone; I don't have any reason to have computer capabilities on something I hardly use.

[@genem3681]

There were two Boomer groups, The first and the Echos. The Echoes were late 50s to 64 and we thought the earlier Boomers were nuts to. They went though the country and their lives like a scythe, running up prices on everything and leaving crumbs and such in their wake. There really are two groups of Millennials to, the first and second groups. Second group is in College now like my Daughter. Most book smart folks you will ever know and not a ounce of street smarts. But they do seem to be able to learn from their mistakes so we may be OK with them down the road. :)

At the end of the 60ies to the beginning of the 80ies music reached it PERFECTION. in my opinion. This is a marvellous song! So many gorgeous songs were written then. wonderful melodies great clever lyrics and great singers and composers....... Now music lost its power .....

[@davidlafaber2269]

One of my Dad's favorite artists. Listen to this numerous times in late '70s as a kid. Johnny Rivers' is a tremendous talent! This song says it all doesn't it? - Guy to girl... 🕺♥️💃

Will always LOVE Johnny Rivers. Saw him in Tucson, AZ in a concert last year. Never lost his wonderful voice. He's still got it!

I regret not marrying my first love. I would never trade my kids just which they were with him. I loved him and he loved me but things happened and I was a fool. I fantasize about him dream of him.

You are very welcome my friend. Hugs back to you. I remember very well when this song came out, just 2 months later we lost Elvis. I still remember dancing to this at our Jr. prom in 1980 with the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on. We broke up in Nov. of 81 and to this day I can not listen to this song with out thinking about her. Brenda was my world, every girl since her just took her space, never her place.
