This song was used to signify closing time every night at the bar in a college town I worked at fifty years ago. Being a slow dance song it was not only last call at the bar but also last call for the guys to either get their new found loves phone numbers or perhaps be invited home. Memories do turn to black and white but such songs bring it all back.

[@michaelcurtis9672]

Over the years, bands I played with used this masterpiece as a secret weapon and/or knockout punch, strategically placed as the last, or second to last, song of the night, in clubs or dances. This was manna from heaven for many attendees, giving them the perfectly timed shot for a slow dance and legitimate excuse to get their arms around the one they were with. It also delivered the subliminal message that we had to be one of the greatest bands they'd ever seen. It was a very effective tactic. 😎
