David Whitfield was one of my mum's favourite Fifties singers.I have a reel-to-reel tape recording of her singing this song in the early 1970s.She passed away in 2018 and it sums up my feelings for her. Love you Mum. God bless.xx

Mum loved David Whitfield ..... he was her teen crush in the way David Cassidy was mine. Mum passed away 2 days ago and I have been looking for appropriate songs for her funeral. I think I have found what I am looking for x
