John Anderson 1959
Ойын-сауық
"1959" is a song written by Gary Gentry, and recorded by American country music artist John Anderson. It was released in November 1980 as the fifth single from the album John Anderson. The song reached #7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
The singer reflects on the year 1959, particularly a relationship he had that year with a girl named Betty, to whom he is singing the song. The "most important thing" for them was making sure the singer's truck had gas so they could go to the drive-in movie. He was drafted into the military after graduation, and Betty married someone else while he was away. He cries whenever he reads the letters she wrote to him, promising she would never leave him. He has even kept the old truck he had that year (in which the couple "went all the way"), and looking at it takes him "back to '59."

Underrated. Where you been, he’s been popular since 1959. 😂😂😂
What a great live performance by John. I was living in Florida when this song came out on the radio and hit the charts. Those were some of my best times.

Couldn't be live. No back up singers or instruments. Where is the drummer? It's identical to the studio version. It's lipsync.
❤❤❤❤❤
Guess I've been living under a rock. Hello Mr. Anderson, you are awesome! Seminole Wind brought me here.
Happened to me in the 70s, same sad story. What a great song.
Written by the great songwriter Gary Gentry. Sang to perfection by John Anderson.

My mothers name is Betty and my father just was released from the military about this time, it’s like John released this song for my parents that is so strange how this song was written. It’s like John Anderson knew my parents.
