That Happy Feeling - Bert Kaempfert

(A personal memory, not trying to win any movie awards here!) Bert Kaempfert's "That Happy Feeling" from the 50's accompanies a great Sunday drive from Flagstaff to Mormon Lake Arizona after a major snow. You can do this easily at eMemoriesMaker.com.

My dad played this on all road trips when I was a child. Good times. Nothing but music chosen by my parents. The good parents.

Bert Kaempfert war ein großer Musiker ich habe alle seine Platten ich verehrte ihn bis heute Mega🌹 danke

[@encrypter46]

This Bert Kaempfert hit ACTUALLY puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it. It's that powerful.

[@ralphmoore7812]

Its amazing how a song can bring back joyous memories of a time in your life, this one hits a deep cord in my childhood. The 60s were a great time for me. Thanks mom and Dad for the life. Thanks Bert for the music to remember it by.

[@kcsnow9447]

Oh boy. So well said you've brought tears to my eyes

[@charlesrichards1240]

I echo that sentiment-see my comment above

[@John-sz8yf]

I'm 70 and I have tears in my eyes. God bless you Ralph, and Bert.

[@leandraperezaquino2648]

That right, I remember to my father

[@charlesrichards1240]

I heartily second that comment-the 60's was a good time in my life,too.

[@moiria972]

My Dad loved Bert Kampfert.. I so enjoy still listening to these beautiful melodies!! Happy memories from my childhood ❤️

[@RichardMyers-mc5ic]

My dad loved Bert Kampfert too! What memories!!

[@amitavamanna2696]

I forgot the music that I rediscovered here. Half a century passed by! How much we have changed towards tooth and claw. We love corporate culture! Sigh. I wish we could all go back to the days when the sky was blue, the valley was green.......fill up the rest yourself.

[@timothymccarthy4704]

I remember riding with my dad. We gave him an FM converter for his car that only had AM. He was able to listen to his station, WTFM that played Bert Kemphert as well as Andre Kostalonitz(sp?), Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, as well as others. I remember " That Happy Feeling" playing as we drove up to Northern New Jersey in the winter, grounds covered with snow for a weekend at my aunt and uncles house. I watched this video, and was brought back to that exact moment. Thank you.

[@olivierarthurkonan3087]

La musique est bonne lorsqu'elle est belle. Vive l'artiste dont j'entendais les titres dans mon enfance à la radio de mon pays ( La Côte D'Ivoire de Didier Drogba, d'Alpha Blondy) sans en mesurer réellement la quintessence. Aujourd'hui adulte ,en cette nuit du 27 Mars 2023 je réalise que Bert Kaempfert a laissé à l'humanité un trésor musical intemporel avec cette chanson. Hélas, rarement les artistes contemporains arrivent à nous procurer pareille délice. A l'écoute de Happy Feeling, on se sent mieux. ❤😂

[@stewartgellatly8073]

The sad and untimely passing of Bert Kaempfert left a big void in the world of music. He is not easily forgotten. This great tune composed by him befits our memories of him and his genius

[@senorkaboom]

I had heard this song as a kid, but never knew the name of it. When my folks bought a stereo in 1970, it came with an 8 track tape player. We joined the RCA music club and got 8 tapes for 5 bucks and we got a Bert Kaempfert best of tape. When we played it, this was the second song. Well, I was overjoyed. Finally, I had the song.

[@km2711]

May Herb Oscar Anderson RIP

[@2734135]

As a kid in the late 50s & early 60s I remember watching The Sandy Becker Show on channel 4 in New York while he ended his show everyday with this song. I loved waiting for his theme song because it made me feel good listening to it. As I hear it now I can still see my old living room with that Philco B&W TV and my friends sitting on the floor with me. Some are gone now and so is Sandy but this music lives on. Hearing it makes me smile again reliving my childhood, thanks for posting it.

[@philhayes8008]

Mid 60s...every Sunday after church...mom puts on the Bert Kaempfert, followed by Al Hirt and some Herb Alpert. She did this religiously. Wonderful memories. Thank you mom. Miss you !

[@MoosicandCritters]

Your comment warmed my heart! God bless you as you cherish the memories of the great music of our younger days! ❤️🎶

[@jmrodas9]

This melody never fails to make my happy when I hear it. One of those which are really worth to hear and enjoy.

[@e.a.spencer6032]

This brings me right back to WEMP... Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Early 1960's. A joyful memory

[@Gigi30107]

❤❤❤ I was a kid then took. Lived in st Francis in Milwaukee. Listened to a station out of west bend. Such great memories ❤

[@TheMakforlife]

My grandfather loves this song, It was our sister song, my she rest in peace, love you. god bless

[@stephengarth8575]

When ever i need a lift, all i do is play this tune. It lifts me up straight away, and gives me my own "happy feeling"...

[@nigelcrisp68]

I'm with you Stephen, fantastic isn't it. I'm 65, so my boys think this is music for oldies, but I remind the eldest, a Metallica fan, what chance will their music have of being enjoyable, wonderful and perfectly up-to-date 57 years later?

[@billsantospianomore678]

This was one of the theme songs for The Sandy Becker Show, a kid's show that aired from 1955 to 1968. I watched it when I was young kid in the 1960s.

[@1934polly]

At 85 yrs old, if I need a pick me up in the morning, this is it, it gets my blood running.

[@esmemohabir6891]

Never gets old very refreshing when you listen to it .♥️

[@parrmik]

In the 1960's, my mother used to put the test pattern on and listen to the music while she was.cleaning This song and another kaempfert song ,'swinging safari', were mainstays . Great memories !

[@arrowinland]

I love this Bert Kämpfert song!

[@vanislefan1]

I remember this great song when it came out in 1962. For months we'd walk to school with That Happy Feeling coursing through our heads. Wonderful memories, and I love the song as much today.

[@user-lh8sx8we6c]

Exactly my experience too, walking along to school with the tune going through my head. I turned 7 later in 1962. I lived in a small city by the name of Gympie in Queensland, Australia.

[@rogo69]

CAN'T HELP BUT FEELING HAPPY

[@lonnyjaw]

From the good days of life.

[@catkeys6911]

Such a simple melody, yet so perfect. It does perfect musical circles in the major scale, the musicianship is flawless, and arrangement is perfect. It really IS the song of happiness.

[@arrowinland]

Beautiful music and beautiful Arizona snow!

[@jmrodas9]

A very nice tune I used to hear long ago when I was a kid and a teenager. What I like in it is it really conveys happiness. And I feel happy everytime I hear it. Grand! One only has to listen to this fabulous tune to be happy.

[@marianmoser-otto3590]

I love Bert's music!

[@vegas4al]

Great video for a great tune. Reminds me of going home to Whistler, B.C. Thanks!!

[@crispuloramirez712]

esta musica es sencillamente fascinante! una de las mejores melodias grabadas por el maestro Kaempfert! cada vez que lo escucho rindo un honor a los talentosos!

[@bumble1612]

How the memories come flooding back, my parent's playing this at home in Scotland, this makes me so happy.

[@philkalus5720]

Joyful happy music masterpiece !!! sorry Bert ,today they just cant compete !!

[@charlesrichards1240]

You know,it's been nearly 60 years since I last heard this song! It fits this video so well! Reminds me when we used to go to Colorado on vacation.My Mom really liked Bert Kaenpfert's music.We had a single of Afrikaan Beat" on 45,which I used to play over and over on the Silvertone console.Really miss those days!

[@bossradio930]

Excellent video! Great for road travel. That Happy Feeling was recorded in 1962, not a 50's recording. Never get tired of that song, thanks to one television station in Los Angeles, CA I watched as a kid growing up. Well done!

[@tyroneosborne2091]

Sometimes we do not give the entire orchestra a full credit . With is song Burt Kaempfert was wonderful was just marvelous, he shows that Music have no colour .Just one of the very best !!

[@shawnmcculley2995]

I remember this as a young child growing up in Wisconsin. Absolutely loved it. They used this as theme music for a local outdoors and fishing show in my hometown in the early 70's.

[@1L6E6VHF]

One of my fondest memories was when my dad brought home the album by total surprise (it wasn't my birthday or anything like that - I had been riding with my dad in the car, and he could tell I loved the song - still do. In 1970, the single would be unobtainable). Played that album until it looked and sounded like sandpaper. Good takes on Similau and Sunday in Madrid as well.

[@davidrobbio9816]

That’s a good Dad and person not your birthday just something he observed in you while playing this song I will type it again “That’s a good dad and person” what a memory that is …just made my day reading this comment

[@wayneschmidt397]

I think Bert Kaempfert was my all time favorite band leader his music was the greatest especially Wonderland by night

[@manfredbeuth2921]

What an amazing song!!!!!!! Smile on my lips........and a very good feeling in my heart 🙂

[@cristinadelgadillo5149]

Es inconfundible y mágico el toque de Bert Kaemfert, me encanta Ese Feliz Sentimiento, una de mis melodias favoritas,

[@WalterMwambazi]

The ultimate Bert Kaempfert music. This one has so much memories for me I dont even know where to start. My parents used to have this album and as kids would play musical chairs with this. This is back in 1975 by which time this had already been a hit. In Zambia a number of the songs from his album "A Swingin' Safari" were themes on radio and television shows back when we had TVZ! TVZ later became ZBS which then became ZNBC here in Zambia! What sweet nostalgia.

[@rhpicayune]

Good childhood memories! I too remember when I was a child in the United States my parents had played this song; for some reason it reminded me of cold weather or Christmastime..... Take care. Rodney

[@tyroneosborne2091]

As a child , I fell in love with the wonderful Music of Burt Kaempfert ; this was one Genius, his arrangement and horn was so clear and soothing .

[@grahameberry1897]

This track and "Swingin Safari" were both used a lot on radio in country NSW aus as well, and as you say, the memories just flood back and mist up my eyes. The smells, the joys and the happy times are all strong in my mind - thanx Bert.

[@jennyroels2047]

I loved it too, i.m born in the congo in 1951 and travel also in zambia, zwimbabwe and south africa during the years 1960.

[@abelsantoro3752]

Beautiful song, beautiful your country!

[@gorgonique]

This makes me think of a drive home in the dead of winter, from Regina to our small town in Saskatchewan, in the mid-60s. Utterly enchanting.

[@59pjh]

This song was used on a show called Tourist Topics broadcast from Sydney , Nova Scotia in 1968. I never knew the name of it until yesterday. Brings back lots of memories.

[@phillipoos]

Simple yet totally captivating...

[@joey_bonin]

Bert was brilliant. All his instrumentals are inspired.

[@gorgonique]

Charming! Reminds me of family drives in a Saskatchewan winter, all those decades ago with Bert on the radio. Older cars along the way, of course, but that crazy looking around through a child's eyes, at the winter around me, couldn't be better captured than with a lovely Bert song like this.

[@catkeys6911]

I love the bass line of this song- it's what I believe is called a "walking" bass line, and it's so perfect. It's apparently enough of a feature of this song to warrant TWO basses, as well- a standup bass playing that "walk" on the downbeat, and an electric bass being plucked with a pick, adding some rhythmic counterpoint. Such a nicely arranged and perfectly executed piece!

[@joey_bonin]

That electric bass played a "percolator" part. I believe Bert was the first to use this technique.

[@catkeys6911]

@@joey_bonin A "percolator" part? I'm not familiar with that term, but I think I understand, and it sounds like a pretty apt term; I like it. The electric bass in this piece seems to dress up the steady downbeat of the standup bass line, giving the song a more jaunty sound with a little bit of a spring to its step.

[@joey_bonin]

@@catkeys6911 That's the idea. "Tequila" by the Champs is a good example. The percolator part on that record is more elaborate.

[@oneshako]

Endless melody..thanks God for inspiring such tender and vibrant music to the Great Bert!!

[@user-sx6zv9up5m]

45년전 쥐포와 같이 있으며,Lp로 수없이 많이 들었던 추억이 있는 노래입니다.20년전쯤 고향에서 가게를 하고있는 나를 찿아왔다가 바람처럼 사라졌던 그애,행복을 빕니다! 그래도 가끔 가슴이 아리고,보고싶기도 합니다! 논산바보가

[@rambletambler]

I get that happy feeling whenever I listen to this music

[@wlhardy]

I love this song, and it's title matches it exactly! I used to visit my grandparent's in northern NJ and this was the opening music for the Sandy Becker Show out of NYC. Such happy memories of being young, carefree, and waiting for your favorite TV programs--what antcipitaiton! Thanks for the memories!

[@marilyncurtin2921]

this is why I added it to my list - I used to always remember when I would hear the music - I would yell to the kids - "it's Sandy Becker time" - now when they're older they don't remember the show or the song - so I checked it out and found these -- it was more of an excitement and memories for me than the kids - glad you enjoyed it -it's a happy time !

[@chrisnorthridge4953]

this song always makes me happy ,reminds me of the joy of the times I use to have

[@erykeryk]

Absolute heavenly elation! Gorgeous, lovely, child like. It conveys a higher reality with nothing to worry about.

[@brbrknndy]

It kept me entertained when our TVs station had technical difficulties in the 60s. This is the song that they played.

[@jmrodas9]

This is so nice to hear and to remember how being in love is when one is young For me love is that happy feeling. The rhythm is great and the tune very nice to hear. Every instrument is played at the precise moment and the chorus is very good too. So it is very nice to hear.

[@rasputin4u1]

Beautiful video and ofcourse Bert Kampfert is the perfect accompaniment
