Billy Vaughn - The Sundowners free for downloading

thanks for uploading this.. I've been looking for it. I remember going downtown in Long Beach, Calif. after school to buy it on the old 45rpm. I was a young highschooler but I knew good music when I heard it!

Music of Dmitri Tiomkin, the greatest movie composer ever! Giant, The Alamo, High Noon, Gunfight at OK Corral, 55 Days at Peking etc etc etc!

Many great versions of this song, including this one, but the best of all-time is by the Medallion Strings, Emanuel Vardi director and conductor.  It's on their lp album "The Sound of Hollywood" (Kapp MS-7513).   Talk about a veritable "wall of sound" -- in this case a legion of shimmering strings.   For fans of this song, Vardi's version is a must!

Thank you Tending......this song haunted me for years, I couldnt find the version that I loved so much from my youth, the one my father and uncle played when we got together,now thanks to you I know it was Billy Vaughns version.This is one truly unforgetable song just like "Summer Place" by Percy Faith,Charmagne by the incomparable Mantovani, Stardust by Nat the King etc. Sundowners takes me away to a beautiful island somewhere far far away. Such a shame Easy Listening music for those of us who still love to come home and put an LP on the turntable, sit in our favorite chair and travel to exotic places thru the music or live out a fantasy love affair dreamed up, is all lost for good. No one has stepped up to fill Ray Conniff,Percy Faith, Billy Vaughn,Mantovani, shoes and carry on. I just refuse to believe there isnt enough of us out here to create a market for Easy Listening music again. No wonder our country is filled with vulgar language,anger management issues, violence, divorce, and stress from the banal,awful crap in so called pop music,rap music.We let a whole group of people dictate to us all what type of music to listen to. Urban guerilla music from the ghettos, what a disgrace.

This is the very very best (in my humble opinion) of Billy Vaughn. I started listening to his music, and never get bored of it! Thanks for posting

One of my all time favorites by Billy Vaughn. I guarantee you it was played on top 40 radio stations back in 1960, especially here in OKC. Good Post. Larry N. Boyington, aka Larry Neal, former curator of the Wax Museum on the big 1520 KOMA
