bobby alessi oh Lori is my mom's favorite song and mine too. we used to sing this together when we were just hanging out. beautiful song, lyrics and melody. a real classic ☺

[@user-nq6lw6qm4l]

bobby alessi ..Believe this or not but I got introduced to your song in Nov 2017 by a lady who was slightly tipsy singing it in a taxi in Dublin Ireland. Had to track it down when I got home to hear what it really sounded like..Have been singing it ever since.. brill..thanx

[@tikbalangbukid]

I was singing, hummin this song practically everyday in school and later in my workplace. 'easy and happy times 70's, 80's..'

[@paulmcilroy7508]

[@russellbaldry5095]

This song still makes the hairs on my neck stand up…..100% nostalgia track, absolutely beautiful!

[@SR53GT40]

Tears in my eyes. The chords progression and the vocal harmony of this song are wonderful. This song perfectly translates the atmosphere of these carefree and peaceful times of your life. Once upon a time, paradise was on earth, and in those days the Alessi Brothers were broadcasted on the radio.

[@bobbyalessi]

Oh...you're so kind, very well said and felt....thank you...

[@bobbyalessi]

Wow! Thank you Sahara

[@philsarkol6443]

The radio back then had a much more variety and better qualty of music , if I may be so bold. This song reminds me of days gone by where we, at home in my childhood years, listened to the radio all day long. Allessi Brothers, 10CC, Eagles, Supertramp, Queen, Dire Straits, the Carpenters and so on...all different kind of music!

[@tobytheone8596]

I agree 100%. This is in my top 5 favourite tracks of all time and I have a vast collection of different musical genres. So, so beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes too. ❤❤❤

Thanks J.Bill

[@stephenhough4957]

I remember this gorgeous song from 1977 when I was 8 & it seemed hot every day in Britain. You’d hear it blasting out of radios while people watched Wimbledon on their TV’s. A real summer hit & as good now as it was then…..

[@digbyfairweather9821]

Absolutely exquisite composition - and who would have thought of a tribute to George Shearing - and jazz flute solo - in the midst of the rock years of 1976! A melodic masterpiece and thank you the wonderful Alessi brothers!

[@bizla27]

Aw I was 13 when this song came out, it was a very long hot summer in a small village in Wales and my friend and I would go to the local phone box and dial a disc and listen to this song over and over again! Listening to this song 40 years later, it seems like yesterday! I now live in Los Angeles and I make movies and this song is still awesome, it brings back so many amazing memories. Thank you for keeping the dreams alive :) xx

Don't see too many live performances as good as that these days that's just about as good as it gets....outstanding gentlemen, great memories from my yesteryear thank you.

[@777petew]

I heard this in the spring/summer of 1977, while hankering for the last year's glorious summer in England in 76. It captured and gave me the joy of living it all again. I loved it. Hearing it now takes me directly back to that time - instantly, and I'm there. I know music does that to us. But this conjures a special care-free feeling (I was 18, and care-free). I really love this song. Thank you.

[@bobbyalessi]

Beautiful and unique song. That was a brilliant performance too. Great musicians.

[@V6Y2j5]

I remember this wonderful song way back in 1977 when I was in the Philippines. I was a kid at that time. The Era of Barry Manilow , the Bee Gees , etc . I now live here in Vancouver BC Canada. Thanks for today's modern technology. It revived the good old songs.

Wow ! This is amazing. I can't believe your voice has aged so gracefully. It's even mellower and definitely better than the 1977 version. Truly wonderful.

[@alunjones685]

This song always takes me back to a lovely warm summer's day in the UK (1977 maybe). For some weird reason I'd always thought the line at 01:19 was 'You danced for hours in your FUs', a brand of blue jeans that were popular at the time ... listening live here I realise I was way off. A really fine song in any case.

Then like 20 years later I’m working in Tokyo and hear it on a CD possibly Tower Records in Shibuya and ask the guy and he said it’s on a lounge compilation and then that’s when I found out it was 2 brothers and a man??
