1963... on the old AM car radio constantly .. My parents loved it... I was 13 and hated it.. Some how it stuck in my adolescent mind and can sing all he lyrics (Not as well, mind you ) to this day . Seeing this, I'm transported to the back seat of our Rambler wagon with mom and dad in the front seat nodding along and pop saying... " Now THAT'S what you call music." Thanks for the memories.

Yep, it was a big hit on the charts! Little did Mr. Ifield realize that the Beatles and their British Invasion counterparts would make it hard to crack the Top 40 again. Like you, this number stuck in my noggin all these years and I could sing it to win a bar bet if necessary,

No lipsync, actual live performance from Frank that sounds fantastic! I don't think any artists on Sullivan were lipsynced, for that matter. So many great musical performances brought into our homes, thanks to Ed Sullivan!

@Figsetc 3 ай бұрын

The only lip synced artists I can recall are Gary Lewis and The Playboys, but that’s only because they were THAT BAD outside of studios.

The Mamas & The Papas were famously forced to lipsync on Ed Sullivan which is why Michelle Phillips just started eating a banana during one performance on the show.

In the early 60's as a young teen I worked on my dad's servo at the city gates in Mackay and when those performers like Frank Ifield and Col Joye, Digger Revell, The Bee-Gees, Little Pattie, Tricia Noble, Chad Morgan, Lucky Star, Slim Dusty, Jimmy Little, Reg Lindsay, Judy Stone, Dinah Lee came to town for a concert they'd all come in and ask me to put their posters up in the window, and they'd each give me half a dozen tickets to their shows that I'd share with my friends. Frank wasn't that cool but he was the most talented one back then imho. Beautiful voice, loved his yodel.

As an interesting aside, Johnny Mercer (the great American song writer) wrote the lyrics to this gem, and it was said to be autobiographical - written at a time of personal heartbreak. In 1941 (Mr. Mercer, who had a wife) was involved in a love affair with a 19 year-old Hollywood star - Judy Garland. Judy (after being confronted by Mrs. Johnny Mercer) broke off the relationship, and married her first husband, David Rose (also a song writer/composer).

Some believe it was David Rose who wrote the theme music for Science Fiction Theater, since he also used the pseudonym of "Ray Llewellyn" at ZIV-TV for composing music for other ZIV-TV productions in the mid-1950s, before the rules changed in 1958 when he composed music for SEA HUNT 1958-1961, and then for MEN INTO SPACE in 1959-1960. He also composed the theme music for the ZIV-TV series THE MAN AND THE CHALLENGE 1959-1961. It is also worth noting the the pseudonym "Ray Llewellyn" was used by a number of composers and arrangers who worked for Ivan Tors and ZIV Productions. It was quite a common practice in Hollywood during the late 1940's and 50's.
