LA International Airport - Susan Raye

[@katierear8113]

This song was a gigantic hit for SUSAN RAYE! I remember it being played on any radio station you listened to! Beautiful voice! I miss her music!

[@carljan57]

I still sing this classic when thinking of flying to the USA.

[@AmericanSoldierLakotaSioux1969]

Us siblings wore the hell out of this record, you bet your boots we loved it! If memory serves me, I believe it was an orange Capitol Records label on the 45. Wouldn't mind owning that 45 again from Discogs. Fun days classic country at its best! This and "Sneaky Snake" by Tom T. Hall back to back. I was maybe 5 or 6 during this time. This video looks like "Hee Haw", from that ol' jalopy crooked wood fence always in the background, too cool! We LOOOOOVED Hee Haw growing up!!! Thanks for posting and sharing friend. Good memories!! 👍👍😄

[@roadhog1167]

Yep That was from Hee Haw

[@ericht779]

I have heard this song days ago in a restaurant and was fascinated again about this voice.

[@kellywatts72]

Love this song makes me think about my mother one of her favorite songs

[@patbrennan6572]

This is back when Country Music was Country Music.

[@dahobbs9]

Susan Raye is a lovely woman and a great singer very beautiful voice I always loved her music so amazing and awesome lady

[@fritzkongi4708]

This is the most random song I heard on the radio yesterday. I love the radio here in Billings, Montana.

[@cathouseproductions]

I love the Billings Airport view off the rims

[@warrengrangehorticulture9339]

I’ve flown through LAX twice, and each time I played this to myself upon approach. Maybe I’m just a sentimental old bloke, but I don’t care anymore🫣

[@2006derald]

Still love ya Susan. LOL from the kid at KWAY radio.

[@marieprovencio7073]

I simply love it and was a little girl when this first came out!!! Really!!!

[@roadrunner3867]

Lovely voice! Very pure. I have always loved this song

[@michaels3583]

That one really took me back..wow

[@johnparent3138]

Wow! I haven't heard this song in many years. Reminds me of another song that was a hit in the same era. The song was titled In Seattle

[@tuguybear930]

Perry Como "Seattle "

[@NeedsealMetasielProdukte]

Super for all time.

[@kathleenbenally1285]

My Uncle Huskie makes me listen to this evertime we come to LA

[@axeelll]

still love again - Thanks Susan

[@volkerh9636]

I love this song

[@clendenenjames8804]

I could listen to this song over and over,why no clue

[@daviddavisvideo]

I came across your comment when I was compiling my playlist of best songs ever. The reason the song made my list was because I listened to it over and over and didn't get tired of it.

[@clendenenjames8804]

@@daviddavisvideo brother her voice is that of a angel

[@clendenenjames8804]

Yes it's beautiful

[@daviddavisvideo]

@@clendenenjames8804 The only song I rated higher was I need to be in Love by the Carpenters

[@seeadler3233]

It`s a good ballad with lyrics that anyone can relate to . Almost everybody has lost a lover and moved on -- or wanted to move on -- to ease the pain. The lyrics are spot on for that era with mini-skirts , hippy culture and "Friendly Skies ". Susan`s voice expresses love lost and those eyes make me melt.

Who’s here in 1971?

[@knuffy101]

Love it!

LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar.

[@rudraigh]

Word in my family was that Susan and my uncle Bob were having an affair. My aunt Snookie found out and laid down the law. Uncle called off the affair at the airport. This song was about that. That's the family story anyway. I know Bob and Snookie almost ended around this time. His business took a nose dive but their marriage lasted another couple years. He died in a horrible accident a few years after he and Snookie parted. I don't think he ever saw Susan again. But then, he never admitted to seeing her in the first place. Those were the days you just didn't.

LA International Airport,” written by Leanne Scott, was first recorded by David Frizzell in 1970. A year later, it was recorded in Bakersfield, California, by country music legend Susan Raye.
