These songs were
so singable; even jerks like me could enjoy singing along to them!
All this heavy metal, acid rock,
grunge rock, etc.
that is what the kids have offered
to them today,
is impossible to
sing along to! And
even with far less
raucous and frenetic and ear-splitting "music,"
the beautiful tunes are just not
there. Google Vee
on TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY BABY & Gerry & Pacemakers on
DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU
CRYING😃😃😃😃

Sadly, everyone
sitting on that lawn is now either
dead, or a "geezer."
You can deduce
to which of the two groups I belong. One of the
most touchingly
arranged orchestrations for
any of his recordings. Hard
to limit listening to this enthralling
recording just one
time in one sitting.
I'm good for 3 or 4. The gal in the brief close-ups with the nerdy guy is actress Barbara Parkins, who is now 75 as of 2/24/18. "Dolls" like this were just
crawling out of the woodwork during this era in Hollywood. Diane
Baker was another. (I left a couple of remarks earlier
which are about 30 remarks into
the "newest comments" section.) Oh, if
our lives could
have been as pleasant and uncomplicated , more
often, as the scene depicted in
this charming video.

Wo-oh yay yay
Love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
Wo-oh, love you more than I can say
Wo-oh yay yay
I miss you every single day
Why must my life be filled with sorrow
Wo-oh, love you more than I can say
Don't you know I need you so
Tell me please, I gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy
Wo-oh yay yay
Love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
Wo, oh, love you more than I can say

Don't you know I need you so
Tell me please, I gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy
Wo-oh yay yay
I love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
Wo-oh, love you more than I can say

This song and video brings me back to my precious time being as old as Bobby at the time. Timeless beautiful melodious music they don't make anymore these days. What a treasure to hear this song again

J Moorhouse

I’m only in my 30s but even I know the 50s and 60s were the greatest time for music. Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson and Bobby Vee absolute legends.

Dorothy Woodman

Love this song 60s had the best music ❤

This is such a time capsule, what an amazingly beautiful video of its era, such innocence, and what an underrated artist, Bobby Vee, is, so wholesome and talented artist he was. Thank you for posting this wonderful window to rock music's past.

At the same time, one of Bobby Vee's most ardent fans was Bob Dylan. Everybody loved Bobby. Including me, now 63.

TheRickmast

Innocence you say...? I Dare anyone to disagree !! Boopkid.....you the man....

Thomas Pick

"More Than I Can Say" and "Charms" are my two favorites by this artist. Great songs, performances, good arrangements. Simple emotional songs with a melody. These songs hold up over time.

Lawrence Chew

Rick Curtis
