The Bachelors performing opening song on Australia Bandstand Diane (1968)

[@deniseangelasmith5408]

My Aunty Diane passed away in December 2021. This Lovely song was played at her funeral. REST IN PEACE 🙏

[@geraldmontreuil1623]

Good idea of playing this nice song. I have a cousin named Diane.

[@dapdne4916]

My name. And I am an aunt too. The Dianes you know must be great chicks!!

[@tungstenkid2271]

They always sang with a touch of beautiful genuine Irish accents..:)

[@dianeharris4002]

My Dad use to sing this to me,so special to me

[@MikeBlitzMag]

Reprising their 1964 monster classic. One of the most impeccable singles ever made. Absolute, utter, jaw dropping perfection.

[@andrew4x4au666]

My Dad who is 76 loves singing this song. It's grown on me over the years and I love it :-)

[@tarbaby2ya]

I have a sister Diane and she was daddy's girl I sent it to her.

[@diden3527]

I play this heaps - love it - my Diane passed in 2015 after 34 years of enjoying her beautiful company, and raising a lovely family. Was 8 years ago, and cancers a real bast@#@d......and she fought it for 13 years. As for The Bachelors - absolutely a brilliant collaboration of harmonies on multiple tunes. So sad to hear that Con had passed.

I went to see them at the Winter Gardens Blackpool with my family probably the same year. They started singing this song. My family all turned to me. It felt lovely!

I remember The Bachelors. They were around in late 50's and 60's. They had two hits that I loved, one was this song Diane and the other was Marie Elania.

[@ewoksrus]

My mum loved the Batchelor’s. Had all their albums. She would have loved to have seen dec on come dine with me !

[@archangel6415]

The best vocals of their day, and I think presently! I could listen to them every day if leisure permitted. Oh God, thank you for the talent that so enriches our humble lives as we await your immanent return.

[@dianebrailsford4700]

Absolutely brilliant 😊

[@vilstef6988]

This song is something of an anomaly for 1968! It sounds like more of a song from ten years earier. Still enjoyable and well sung.

[@harryheywood3466]

Del Boy only fools and horses

[@PHJimY]

A D-28E and a OO-18E - Martin's first entry into the electric guitar field was the D-18E soon followed by these two guitars. They never caught on and only lasted a couple of years late fifties/early sixties.

[@StockDude]

I just looked this up on YT from my late sisters 45 collection. What an awesome song by a great band! The B side is "I Believe" London Records DR 32235

Great song I grew up with.

[@LUCKYDUCKIES]

Thank you for posting this spectacular performance of "Diane (I'm in Heaven When I See You Smile)". The best perfomance of this old song from 1927, but recorded later by the Bachelors in 1964. You can listen to a prior version by with vocals by The Troubadours conducted by Nat Shilkret in 1928: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzPpp-el8aHq6M

[@brianminter2472]

One of the best ever recorded. Live music with no studio enhancement. A truly wonderful trio from Ireland who had more talent in their souls than anything that spews out today, and over the last forty years. That,s mainly why I prefer to just read the telephone directory instead of having to put up with the no talents spewing out their CRAP.

[@harrodsfan]

Very well said Brian.

[@richardcummins5465]

Bachelors very popular. A lot of songs with girls names in title . Diane , Ramona, Charmaine, Marie, and a few more.

brought back some very very early memories for me, my parents had this song on a 45, i was only little but must of heard it many times.

[@robertcooke1774]

from the film 7th heaven starring james stewart and simone simon.

[@CCT-kp9rm]

That film was made in 1937. This song came out in 1968 as says here.

[@tonymarcus1827]

@@CCT-kp9rm Actually, you're both wrong...it was written in 1927 for the original silent film of Seventh Heaven. This version was recorded in the 1960s, but the original was 40 years old...it's also started out as a waltz.

[@gastion000]

@@tonymarcus1827 It was written for a silent film? Well, it says so on Wikipedia and yet...

[@tonymarcus1827]

@@gastion000 There was lots of music written for silent films. Theaters hired musicians (a piano or organ player for the smaller houses, but sometimes full bands for the movie palaces) to play while the film was shown , and the sales of sheet music were still a very big deal. If a movie was a hit, the publisher could sell hundreds of thousands of copies of the music.

@@tonymarcus1827 Thank you, mate. Informative and interesting.

These vocals give me chills Too bad they are lip singing here. I will try to find a live vocal performance

[@KingpinTBM]

Song is a bit dated for 1968, you sure this wasn't performed in 1964?

[@geraldmontreuil1623]

Yeah, could be in 1964 from billboard entry on April 1964.

[@johnmurphy7316]

It was 1964 around the beginning of that year. A big hit in the UK around February 1964 and a few months later in America.
