I remember my mom playing this song and songs like it from my earliest childhood. I was born in 1959. My mom passed away a couple days ago at 85 years old. I'm a grown man and listening to this song made me smile and cry at the same time. God Bless you my loving mother. I will miss you all the days of my life but, you will live on in my memory forever.
I was very lucky to be a teenager at that time and to be able to dance to it. with some very pretty girls. You can actually understand the words to the song.
This song takes me right back to dancing in the darkened high school gym in 1955, with my "steady" boyfriend. The movie by the same name was wonderful, too.
