My grandmother "MawMaw Joyce" loved this song. She died almost two years ago and it still hurts me to be living in this world without her. I was her first grandchild so we had a special bond and a very close relationship. I always knew she loved this song. Cherish your parents and grandparents while you still can. When they are gone you will miss them more than any words could express.

I'm 16, and with all the crap music being produced today, I'm extremely grateful that my dad made us grow up with music like this, and his favorite, Johnny Cash. I'll always love these old classics better than today's music.

There's no comparison between the classic country and the newer country. Back then, the music was just exceptional. This song is an example of how perfect and timeless it truly was. Thanks for sharing.

So many memories of youth and family are connected to this song....my mom had this single and whenever she played it I reacted in a big way for a small child. I didn't know what Country music was and I thought all music was music. Radio was like that back then, plenty of room for all kinds of styles.

Cried many tears to this song back in 1957, my husband of six months got drafted into the army.Brings back great memories . We were together for 37 years when God decided he needed him more than me. He has been gone for 25 years and I miss him as much now as I did the day he died

I know how you feel Judith...we had just gotten married when this song came out and it was our song until the day he died...10 years ago. He sang country music himself (very good, use to have his own show on radio) and when I hear it I cry too. God Bless them both.

Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1934} and the 'Southern Gentleman' turns 84 years old on May 1st {May he have many more}

RIP Sonny. One of my favourite CW songs

This guy had SIXTEEN consecutive #1 hits in four years, from 1967-71. But name anyone under 60 who has heard of him.

RIP Sonny James. One of my favorites even before I reached my teens

Sonny James had some of the best backup singers.

A #1 hit by The Southern Gentleman himself and the twelveth #1 C&W hit in the Rock Era.

YOUR FIRST LOVE LIVES IN YOUR HEART FOREVER

My husband and I were fortunate enough to see him in Portland, Maine many, many years ago. He was a great singer and very talented. Why can't they make country music like this nowadays?

A caravan holiday in deganwy N Wales. On the radio every day, great memories, I was 9. 👌🏻

This song is one of the top ten in the rock era. Great.

RIP SONNY YOUR MUSIC 🎶 LIVES ON.

To you my "Young Love." It's a beautiful song, thank you Sonny James!

Standing the test of time, still one of the greatest rock ballad love songs ever.

I just LOVE that "tag" he does on the last line at the end. Did you all know that for a brief while in the early 50s, he used to play fiddle with Jim & Jesse!!

I recall hearing this song when I was a little boy. I still love it today. I sorrow at your loss. My wife and I started dating at age 16 in the 60's our song is "Never My Love" by the Association. Best of wishes and love your memories

Love the acoustic guitar sound.

I am not around your age. I am 21, however I love the 50s and 60s Rock N Roll such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Ricky Nelson, the Classic Country such as Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, the bluesmen like Ray Charles and BB King, and Jazz like Louis Armstrong, and Bluegrass like Flatt And Scruggs, Stanley Brothers and Bill Monroe.

I had to listen to it again lets me go way back thank you darling

Listened to Sonny James in my childhood days and always loved his songs. His house was right next door to my grandparents in Hackleburg, AL.

What an awesome tune, I love the oldies I grew up listening to this stuff. These are real singers not ones that need technology to sound god.

Love Sonny James music. That's all I can say.

fine song sung with such clarity and feeling :)

you have reason! not only for you! many people h've enjoyed this simple and wonderful song!!!

They say for every boy and girl There's just one love in this whole world And I know I've found mine The heavenly touch of your embrace Tells me no one could take your place Ever in my heart Young love (young love), first love (first love) Filled with true devotion Young love (young love), our love (our love) We share with deep emotion Just one kiss from your sweet lips Will tell me that your love is real And I can feel that it's true We will vow to one another There will never be another Love for you or for me Young love (young love), first love (first love) Filled with true devotion Young love (young love), our love (first love) We share with deep emotion

I wish music could be like this.

Watch Sonny's fret hand in this or any video... It's like a very precise and delicate spider working the strings. He's an amazing guitarist and singer.

I absolutely adore this song!

Thanks for sharing love Sonny James songs .

Beautifull song from sonny James Thank you Ladycharmable

one of the very best !!!!!!!!!!!!! of all time

This hit by Sonny James, The Southern Gentleman, went to #1 on both the Top 40 charts and the Country & Western charts. It also hit #11 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #8 for the year, 1957. Who will be #1? Stay tuned.

Great song and great singer.

Ahhhh, like my youth, it didn't last long enough, thanks.

Wow so beautiful ❤

Sonny's version is so much better than Tab Hunter's! I have been a Sonny James fan for many years and I was fortunate to see him perform live back during the 70's at the "Four Season's Motor Lodge" Convention Center in Gatlinburg. Sonny sounds as good live as he does on his records.

Heard this song on a Time Life commercial and had to hear it all. Being only 21 I have to say that this song is terrific.

Makes for good memories.

One of the few songs I could sing completely through as a little kid. Had no idea what the lyrics meant...but that did not matter at all! I just loved to sing along with this man...still do. Thank you, Sonny. You must have been a good teacher. :-)

RIP..Sonny James.~B: May 01, 1929 ~ D.Feb 22, 2016..

man its amazing that all the great classic singers r now finally passing away it's very sad but their music is never forgotten.

Although, this was a Country and Western Song it was one of the select records that got air play on many of the radio stations in the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia area. Even to the City people on the East Coast this song along with Marty Robins "White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation" were popular. At that time Rock&Roll was a combination of music; Pop, Spiritual,DooWop,Blues, and Country. Anyone of them could be a hit. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine

Beautiful song! Especially when you hear it on an old jukebox. I did so recently and was blown away.

Play in heaven Sonny

@tlmorgan56 There are more and more young people who enjoy that great old music. I hear it from 13, 14 year old boys and girls. And I was born in 1983, and I LOVE the old music and can't stand the new stuff that they do today...

I was 2 and a half years old when this was top of the charts and I'm pretty sure it's the first song that registered in my young developing consciousness. Even though I have only just read the lyrics for the first time I could probably have remembered most of the words

this takes me back to where I always want to be....

He was my first young love and I Still love him!

Hi Terry, Glad you enjoy the old stuff. Back then was when Country was country...I guess you have to be around our age to enjoy the great classic country....Thanks for your comments.....Your friend Terry....

@standingontruth1 I guess God does love country music.

His version is the best!

Amen to that comment

they don't make such lovely songs anymore

I agree, the new country does not sound like real country.! There is very very few I like.

Speaking of firsts, this was my first learned guitar lesson song.
