I'm with you all the way. Just saw your comment. After Vietnam I resumed my career as a professional drummer. My biggest kick was backing up the temptations,, Archie bell and the drells , and Jr walker at the Cincinnati jazz festival in 77. What a time to be young and alive. I first heard this song on a 2 am flight from Cincinnati to west palm Beach there wasn't 25 people on the plane. I was working with a 10 pc show band called the Max's mob. What a time it was . And the girls gooood god , they were beautiful. Now I'm old and fighting cancer, but l wouldn't trade a single day. We were blessed to have lived through that era.

After Vietnam 70-71 I resumed my career as a professional drummer I had the honor of backing up artists such as Archie bell and the drells , Jr walker, the temptations at the Cincinnati jazz festival in 73. I would tour with some and just do one show with others . I studied percussion and got my teaching license , joined the union and worked non stop through the 70,s. I'd give all my tomorrow's to go through that wonderful decade . I tell my sons, words can't describe it, you had to be there. The music, the cars, the vibe and the GIRLS!!! Tube tops ,hip hugger jeans . My mouth is watering. We were so blessed to have lived through those years. Let's you and me build a time machine and hit the club seen of 72. I'd never come back.

She was great! Her disco song "If i can't have you" is in my top 10 disco songs of all time and one of the rare pop-disco songs in it.

Ahhh! The summer of 1977. Remember it well. Mr. Peanut in the white house, 45¢ a gallon gasoline super supreme 109 octane, 75¢ Big Mac, Whopper, Jumbo Jack. Brand new Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler for around $4500 out the door. Tickets to Disneyland $15! And free parking. And this mega hit plaing in every home, car radio, malls, and grocery stores all over USA. Different time, different styles, different values, different era, different people, different music, different country. A time never to return again. Glad i lived it.

Met her in the 70’s though my friends, who were neighbors of her parents. She was a very sweet and humble person. She was also a beautiful lady.

I'm listening to this song in 2021, still remember the nights when nightclubs were the in thing, I was dancing this with my one love.

Married almost 54 yrs, husband was away on a business trip recently...played this song for him when he got home, what sweet love, music moves the soul.

I love the way she deliver the song it seem there is some very special one .I can see in her eyes when she smiles slightly sweet and smooth.

Love how she projects that slight smile when she sings" that's the way it used to be". So sweet!

Excelente! Great song and beautiful woman.

El tiempo no se puede cambiar vamos hacia adelante..pero en el presente..esa bella voz de belleza..lvonne ...nos hacen volver a ese tiempo.tiempo ya no regresa..al escuchar melodía ahí nos quedamos en esos años..miles ..millones alrededor del planeta ..esa letra de canciones..fue como entregar anillo de compromiso para unir sentimientos..de mujeres y hombres..hoy en presente como hogares.suspiran y recuerdan..el comienzo de ese amor..bello amor..ella.. Ivonne Elliman fue y es parte de esa unión matrimonial..gracias. Ivonne...!

amazing and soulful what a great Version of this lovely old Barbara Lewis song The singer could melt the ice pole

Beautifully sung to perfection, a very smooth voice.

Although, the original song was written and sung by Barbara Lewis in 1962, Yvonne Elliman brought it back exactly the same without change of tones 15 years later, causing a great success to her. Very romantic, it brings me a lot of 1977"s memories.

Her voice is timeless... I have listened to her singing hundreds of times and never get enough or get tired of Yvonne elliman's voice and choice of arrangement

Great song from a great singer!!!

by far the best version of this song is by Yvonne elliman.

This song means so much especially when she sings it and her voice is awesome too

I seem to remember this on the radio back then. That it was just someone doing that song I liked. Now I’m listening to it again thinking “ That’s not bad”! I remember watching the movie on base at least 5 times. And this version about twice. “Never made the connection “ Thanks to all you posters, And KZread!!!

Wow! If time could only stand still. I'd stay here awhile...again and again.

Incredible. So soothing after a hard day gambling pool, just what I need + recliner.

Hermosa canción y ella es preciosa la vengo escuchando desde joven fue ciempre mi amor platónico su voz enamora y aún a su edad es hermosa 👏👏👏👍🇵🇷

Great music when there was a story behind the song loved it and I’m always listening to these good old songs

I’m 75 first heard this song when I was 14-15 uswd to listen to it on my transitor radio while we snuck off to have our smokes in a construction yard where we could hide … to this day it remains my all time favorite song … thanks Yvonne …

The Disco Era...so sad people never appreciated this music generation...but they cling to Hip Hop and rap like it is a Gold Bar! Some of the greatest music to play and dance to. I was dancing in the studio when I played these great songs on the radio.

Fell in love with her voice first but when I saw her...wow!

I love Ivonne Elliman, She sings so beautiful...I knew a girl that looks like young Elliman and sings like Elliman too!!

What a beautiful song of this great singer... It's so sad that she didn't record more hits!!!! But I love her anyway ❤
