I'm just an old old man now at 93-years-old but I still remember when this song was released only I wasn't listening through a tablet screen I was listening through a real record back then... my wife and I loved all of these romance songs and we were married for 68 years until she passed away. Thank you Johnny Ace for your music, if you were alive today you would know the impact you had and the joy you provided for a lifetime...

I work in a Nursing Home and I’m sitting here with a male resident I’ve been visiting for 4 months now. I really enjoy chatting with him! He told me to play this song for him on my speaker and I am in love with it. It brought tears to his eyes. I just love being with the elderly they have so much wisdom and they especially had awesome music 🎼 🎵

This is beautifully done, but you need to listen to Elvis Presley's version it so much more beautiful
