One of my favorite Christmas songs and done very nicely by Dean Martin.

You brought back some old but good memories. Years ago I bought tickets to see the Doobie brothers at maple leaf gardens in Toronto. The warm up band that came on stage first was Lynyrd Skynyrd. They got everyone warmed up alright. By the time the Debbie Brothers came on half of the stadium was empty. I think the long version of free bird was enough to wear everyone out. Boy do I ever feel old now. Thanks. Lol.

I can remember going to an Aerosmith concert that was opened with Guns-N-Roses. Half the crowd was passed out before Aerosmith started. I thought, "What a waste of money!" The whole experience turned me off of GNR.

FWIW: You don't look old. LOL.

Simon, another Ferlin Husky song;

Don.....

Thank you, Simon1! Believe it or not, I remebered everyone of those songs! What a precious memory you have with your wife!
The surprise for me in your series is that Conway Twitty sang "Its Only make Believe." I only remembered him as a C & W singer.
"Silver Bells" is one of my favorites, also. (But let's not rush it. LOL)

Thank you, Don!

Is there even anything close to the crooners and swooners of that era? I don't think so.

Back in the day......if you couldn't adequately express your feelings to your date, you could ask him or her to listen to the words of those 'oldies' and say this is the way I feel about you. Regretfully, fat chance of that happening today.
Don.......

Well I can definitely see how that technique would have worked.

So? Are you all saying this would be a bad love song?

I saw it the other night while playing on youtube looking at some weird music video's, read this thread and had to throw it in the conversation for a joke/laugh. I appreciate all types of music, but this is horrible....

Another hint Wrightdigger:

This was a band from my area, ( The Midwest ). That narrowed your search down to 12 states.

I never heard this one. I was into the hard rock (now called classic) at that time. Plus I was a little preoccupied being 7 months pregnant at the time of it's release.

That would be understandable. Free pass allowed.
