Jack Jones sings Wives and Lovers to an Army nurse

The crooner entertaining the troops with Bob Hope and company around Christmas of ’65.

[@udpert]

Taurus3 sent me the following info: The charming woman in this clip is 1st Lieutenant Sharon Marie Forman, staff nurse at the 85th Evacuation Hospital in Qui Nhon, Viet Nam. She served a year in Vietnam in 1965, and a subsequent year in Japan. She went on to have a long and distinguished career in the military, and was elevated to the rank of Colonel. Eventually, Col. Sharon Forman Bystran became the Chief of Clinical Nursing at Walter Reed Hospital. It is a measure of how respected she is, that 10 years ago, she was chosen to speak at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Ceremony on Veterans Day, representing all women in service. In short, everything we imagined about her in that three minute clip with Jack Jones-the intelligence, charm, and poise-turned out to be true! The commemoration that day, and her moving speech were captured by C-SPAN. She is now Ret. Col. Sharon (Forman) Bystran. Thanks for your service, Col. Bystran! You can watch her speech, 46 years later, in this clip. She begins at 43:00: www.c-span.org/video/?302638-1/vietnam-veterans-memorial-ceremony

[@danstorey2918]

that's unreal. thanks! watching these together is so cool

[@patgavigan3601]

Its so wonderful to know the rest of the story. What a great American patriot is Col. Bystran. Serving that tough year in Viet Nam and telling us about it. And then going on to more service to help the enlisted and veterans. This has really made my day!! Thank God for people like this.

[@Deer548]

Speechless!! How often do you watch a video like this and wonder what happened to this very important person….. when I read your comment I was delighted!!!!! What an amazing woman! What an amazing nurse! She actually looks the same. Very beautiful!! ❤️

[@jamesholz1151]

I knew she was special. You can tell.

[@glennmach]

I was watching 1st Lieutenant Sharon Marie Forman on C-Span. Wonderful Lady and Wonderful information about the her life story as a Nurse in the Vietnam War. I discovered her because I'm a Big Fan of "Jack Jones" Singing and his Kapp Albums. As I'm a Singer myself. Hearing Jack Singing "Wives and Lovers" to Sharon and the Brave American Troops, on the "Bob Hope" Special Live Show" This was Fantastic. She had a Lovely Smile. ! Jack made the right choice to choose this Lovely Young Looking Nurse Sharon. Thank you Taurus3 Channel for bringing this information to udpert Channel, as it was very entertaining and very educational. I'm from Sydney, Australia and was only 4 or 5 when this was filmed : ) God Bless or the Brave American Soldiers who Served. Stay Safe and Take Care always . Happy Holidays 2021 ..Kind Regards, Marc Jones, Australian Singer -Pop/Jazz/Ballads & Original Songs Living in Los Angeles, U,S,A, Originally from Sydney, Australia : ) [PS] If you like Jack Jones Singing Song Recordings. You Might enjoy my Singing of some of these fine Classics etc. Please feel free listen to some of my Singing Songs Recordings at my glennmach Channel Leave a comment if you like.........Many Thanks ,Marc Jones : )

Couldn't Jack and the girl be reunited and he sings it to her again in 2020. Now that would be something!!

[@shuroom57]

Absolutely!

[@jamesodonnell3905]

Brilliant idea

[@glennmach]

Joseph, I Totally agree ! Jack Jones I”m sure he would have been a good sport, and taken part in reuniting with this attractive nurse Kind Regards, Marc Jones Australian Vocalist in Los Angeles USA Originally From Sydney, Australia : )

[@sootycakes]

It would be nice

[@annagitana1]

Uh, no. It’s a disgusting song.

[@tonyvincent9753]

If she was only 20 years old at the time, she'd be 74 years old today. What a beautiful smile! There was still some innocence in America at the time.. God bless!

[@kevin-og8ir]

Yes monsieur. She is delicious. I could only dream of being with a girl as beautiful as this. She is off the scale.

[@paulosoares8411]

I am from Brasil, and i Love see this video..its inocence time...

[@williamsmith7340]

That innocence disappeared quickly when one of Charlie’s bouncing Betties informed you that Uncle Sam was unwelcome in THEIR country. More of that innocence would fade when the Ellsberg papers emerged and the wounded vets discovered how little the VA and fat cat politicians aligned with the MIC cared about them. America hasn’t been America for a long time. The last guy who tried to make it great again got torpedoed by the deep state.

[@millsyinnz]

Yep, and probably still.....you know ;-)

[@reynaldoflores4522]

She couldn't possibly be 20 at that time. You have to have a Bachelor's degree in Nursing to be a qualified Army nurse and be commissioned a Lieutenant. She would've been at least 23 or 24.😊

[@2011littleguy]

Bravo to Jack for making that song fun and relevant to his audience. He’s more than a singer - he’s an entertainer.

[@do9138]

That song is disgusting, and this is worse.

[@loisbeyer5336]

Very nice. Great voice. Always one of my favorites since the 1960s.

[@artfuldodger1286]

This is about the sweetest clip you can possibly imagine. In 1965, there were probably still quite a few soldiers who liked traditional pop music including singers like Jack Jones. He sounds great here.

[@fatherchristmas2998]

I bet that beautiful woman will never ever forget that moment. Brilliant clip

[@do9138]

I would have punched him in the mouth.

[@rosalindrussell1020]

Sad to think such a song couldn't be sung today

[@kevin-og8ir]

I suspect I am younger than you guys. I took my Mrs to see JJ at Ashton u Lyne. Good, but sang too many poor songs. My Mum adored JJ. Great memories though. The theatre is closed now. Symbolic and sad. My Mum really loved him and for that reason he is special to me

I was in country 67 & 68 Army. God bless these Angels who attended us when wounded & held the hands of warriors during their last moments. You will never be forgotten. THX Jack for giving so many solders a touch of home during Christmas. I saw the Bob Hope show Christmas day 67. We all cried while singing Silent Night.

[@jackanthony976]

Jack Jones lived that song. He went through six wives. He must have found their hair in curlers one too many times.

[@mjjm5511]

Just a different time.......miss em......especially with all the crap we re going thru now😪

[@stevemaraccini3062]

So sadly true. It's a blessing to have these wonderful clips to remind us of how it used to be.

[@willys2742]

I bet that wonderful Luientant/ Nurse must have told that story a million times in her life, I wonder if she ever saw this video nowadays, I imagine she has. She was perfect onstage the way she looked at Jack especially the part better wear something pretty... I love watching this video many times . She was the Star in this one for sure. Will always be Unforgettable...

Spot on. I am banging on a few years now. You watch this and maybe there might be a revival. But I doubt it....she is absolutely gorgeous

[@lachanclaimages2810]

Always a class act! The great Jack Jones! God bless these entertainers than help keep the morale of our troops!

[@do9138]

Class act? Telling women that their job is to LOOK GOOD to create an erection she then will be expected to deal with because men can't keep in their pants is anything but classy.

As a combat vet, visiting the Evac units checking up on buddies was hard on me. I couldn't get out fast enough. Even when wounded myself. Geez, talking about PCSD.

[@Johnlock19]

America 🇺🇸 had real class 👏 👌.

[@alejandrocandelario9621]

It's so surreal to see a '50s-'60s-era big band singer performing for Vietnam-era soldiers, as that war is usually associated with psychedelic rock and folk music. This must have been 1965, the very beginning of the war, when big band music was still relevant and loved and soldiers were a bit older and not 19-year-old draftees.

[@muziklvr7776]

This was filmed in '65. Psychedelic rock didn't hit the scene until the late 60's. Jack Jones was 26/27 years old when this was filmed, not much older than some of the kids here, and was very popular by the early 60's. Les Brown was the band leader who started his band in the mid to late 30's.
