Still The One - 1976 Netherlands TV

[@pepere2205]

My wife and I had our first date 44 years ago. She was the one then, and 5 kids and 10 grandkids later she's still the one. We've always sung this song to each other. Love the message and the harmonies.

My husband and I met in the 7th grade. We married in 1969 and had 51 years together before he died in 2021. This was our song for 50+ years.

It's so sweet that you refer to him as your husband in the present tense. He must have really adored you.

Here you deserve a ❤ and a 😢. My wife and I just celebrated our 17th anniversary last Saturday, July 6th. This is my unofficial song for her. I how we have as many years as you and your husband did.

Aunque me es imposible separar el amor que siento por la música y la nostalgia que me invade al pensar en mi hermano menor que hace ya casi 26 años voló hacia tu país para conquistar el sueño americano. Como sea, los pueblos con poder o sin él, siempre seguirán unidos gracias al pentagrama musical. El resto son nimiedades. Un gran saludo de un chileno que también tiene tu misma edad.😁😁

[@FLjock01]

The vocals in the song are deceptively complicated. I've seen some people try to cover the song, some did okay - but none that I've seen have ever nailed the richness of those harmonies. I guess the rollicky rhythm *might* date it, but the lyrics are timeless. This is great song that people can still apply relevantly in their lives.

[@venividivicichannel]

Rest in peace Wells Kelly and Larry Hoppen. Such great musicians and such a great song.

Where do I begin? Wells Kelly (RIP) was in my junior high band. His beautiful sister, Kathy (RIP), was my junior high and high school classmate, and older brother Sherman wrote “Dancin’ in the Moonlight!” Years later, Larry Hoppin (RIP) sang on a musical I wrote. Why am I still alive???

[@danielnathanleland7004]

Wells and Larry seemed like really sweet human beings. Can you tell us what they were like?

[@bruceabbott4435]

Hi Daniel: Yes, true. Both Wells and Larry were both serious musicians, but also fun to be around and work with. They both had a lightness about them, and were good humored. Unfortunately, for those who cared for them, and the world of music, they both passed away far too soon.

These guys were really tight back then and they had so much joy playing music together. just sheer joy. That is until the pressures of family and money and maybe to a certain degree pain. You just never really know what someone is thinking or feeling at anyone time. I just looked up Larry Hoppen the lead vocalist on this song has been gone from our presence 10+ years. I have read that he was a very giving person who would help out anyone. I have been fortunate to not to have known that many people who chose to end their lives early. Maybe aging was a factor. He was 61. But the sting of death touches all those who loved and will cherish his memory. Ironically Larry wrote one of their comeback hits. "Love Takes Time". Larry never had enough time to Love himself.

I just wish this Dutch TV outing had not been another lip-sync event. There are precious few filmed performances that were live, if that many, and the one here on KZbin was a latter-day, slightly past-prime (different bass voice and Poppen's own high-ranges age-diminished) document. Nevertheless, a fabulous song on several levels, not the least of which is its vitamin-like ability to spread happiness like a nourishment wherever it plays.

[@douglashall2141]

This was one of my favorite songs and my girlfriend and I used to dance to it. But every time I did after I sat down, there was at least 10 girls come up to me and asked me to dance with them. I told him I'm a one woman man. I know I only dance with my girlfriend. It was hard to do because they were all good dancers and good looking. But I thought my girlfriend was better. Unfortunately we did break up, but this song has never died in my heart
