Favorite gospel songs from the Gaither Homecoming

Posted on March 30, 2014 by admin

The Gaither Homecoming people sing a lot of my favorite gospel songs, so I would like to share some of them with you. If you don’t get to going to church, maybe some of these songs will bless you big time!

1. Never been this homesick before

This song was written by the late Dottie Rambo, so that is why the singer comes to her.

2. Bigger than any mountain

Johan Terblanche from South Africa mentioned this song on Facebook, which led me to do this section.

3. God on the mountain

Such a nice song.

4. The church triumphant

The words of this song are very good.

5. Our God reigns

The Boss is in control!

6. The family of God

The best family in the world.

7. Thanks to Calvary

I knew a guy once who was a living version of this song.

8. What a day that will be

The camera zooms in on the writer of this song.

9. The old country church – one of my favorite gospel songs by the Gaither Homecoming

10. Everybody will be happy over there

The gospel songs are generally very happy songs that lift up your spirit.

11. He set me free

It is so good to be free. You can be free from all your sins. Just repent and receive Jesus as your Saviour. It is that easy! There is no excuse for going to hell.

12. Keep on the firing line

When I was a teenager, my parents had a record of the Keller-York Quartet singing this song.

13. Turn your radio on

I had a record of Pat Boone singing this song.

14. That old time preacher man

This is one of my favorite gospel songs, but I sing it a bit faster than the Gaither Homecoming people.

15. On the Jericho road

I heard some men sing this one in church when I was little. It brings back wonderful memories.

16. There’s something about a mountain

This song became so personal for me when we had some meetings in Cape Town. Table mountain dominates the landscape.

17. Little wooden church on the hill

I first heard this song on a Jimmy Swaggart record. This is one of my favorite gospel songs when I “play” the piano, but the Gaither Homecoming people sing some different verses.

18. The Lighthouse

We heard Phil Enloe sing this song in George Scott’s church in Johannesburg back in the 70’s.

19. Til the storm passes by

I think I first heard this one on a record by Betty Jean Robinson.

20. I will serve Thee

This song always reminds me of meetings in Cape Town. At Ron West’s church this was the favorite song that they sang at every meeting.

21. Fill my cup Lord

I sang at a meeting once where David Du Plessis was the speaker, and he said he thought I was going to sing this song.

22. Through it all

I first heard this song in Fort Victoria. John Hitchcock had a ecord of Dr. Andre Pelser singing it. It was a big blessing. This is one of my wife’s favorite gospel songs. They honor the writer of the song here: Andre Crouch.

23. Soon and very soon

Rachel Willemse always used to sing this song in Alberton.

24. Born again

I had a record of Pat Boone singing a song with the same title, but it was a completely different song.

25. I just came to talk with you Lord

I loved singing this song back in the mid 70’s. We had it on a record by the Singing Rambos.

26. I came to praise the Lord

I have been wanting to find this song. “Thank you” to the Gaither Homecoming group for singing it.

27. Thank you Lord for your blessings on me

We heard this song in South Carolina when we were first in America. It is such a blessing, and a reminder to be thankful.

28. If that isn’t love

These folks harmonize so nicely.

29. I shall not be moved

30. Will the circle be unbroken

I love the banjo playing.

31.Yes I know

32. I’d rather be an old time Christian

33. O the glory did roll

34. I never shall forget the day

35. The blood bought church

36. Look for me

This is Tanya Goodman Sykes singing. Apparently her dad wrote the song.

37. Mama, the cat ate the Gaithers – Aaron Wilburn

I also have a gospel website, if you would like to check it out: countrygospelandbible.com

Favorite Love Songs by Red Sovine

Posted on February 25, 2014 by admin

1. Phantom 309

I only heard of Red Sovine later in life, because he was not a hit singer where I come from, but I think he is fantastic, and sings some of my favorite love songs.

2. Teddy Bear – My Favorite Love Song by Red Sovine

As I listen again, I feel my eyes glistening with tears. This is the first one I heard by Red Sovine. I was working as an assistant superintendant at an apartment building in Mississauga, and as I worked on something in a lady’s apartment, she had this song playing, and it gripped me.

3. Roses for Mama

A very touching story. I knew a man once that said he wished he had given flowers to his mother while she was alive.

4. Giddy up go

I had tears in my eyes on this one. I love my son so much, so I guess this is one of my favorite love songs by Red Sovine.

5. Bringing Mary home

Some of these numbers border on the supernatural, which I find exciting.

6. Billy’s Christmas wish

There a many people out there that have tremendous needs.

7. Vietnam Deck of Cards

This is the old song from the Second World War that has been adjusted.

8. Little Rosa

I heard this the other week on a country show in color, so I will try and find it there too. A very touching story.

9. Little Joe

A beautiful story about a dog. I started telling my wife just now, and choked up with tears. Yesterday she showed me a story of a baby abandoned at the side of the road in the winter, and a policeman found her. She is now a beautiful teenager.

10. Beyond the Sunset (Should you go first)

Another one of my favorite love songs.

11. The Last Goodbye

Another supernatural number.

12. Little Rosa (in color)

Red Sovine is in the third song on this Country Stars Show, as Webb Pierce opens the song for him.

Favorite love songs can mean many different things to many different people. Sometimes it is about animals, or children, or country, or God, not just about a man and a woman.

13. The king’s last concert (about Elvis Presley)

Interesting.

14. If Jesus came to your house

I don’t know why there a pictures of Elvis with this song. This song meant a lot to me many years ago.

15. Why, Baby, why

Nice music.

16. No one’s too big to cry

Someone wrote that he is the “King of tear jerk country.” I think that’s a nice title.

17. I think I can sleep tonight

I was trying to tell my daughter about this song, and I got so choked up that I couldn’t talk.

18. Twenty one

So many of these numbers bring tears to my eyes. It made me think of how Angelina Jolie’s dad left her when she was little.

19. Are you mine (with Goldie Hill)

Looks like a nice TV show.

20. Daddy

This brought back memories of my dad.

21. Tear stained guitar

My poor old guitar went through a tough time with me.

22. I got religion

My parents were very religious, and brought me up that way.

23. Except the Lord

If the Lord hadn’t helped me, I would have been sunk a long time ago.

24. Is there really a Santa Claus

Another heart touching number.

25. Six days on the road

I used to love being on the road, going from town to town, singing for Jesus. I did it for many years.

Favorite gospel songs by Jimmy Swaggart

Posted on February 15, 2014 by admin

Jimmy Swaggart sings a lot of my favorite gospel songs. Back in the mid 60’s a guy in Bulawayo lent me one of his records called: “I’m nearer home,” and wondered if I would like it. Well, I loved it. A few years later I attended the Salisbury Polytechnic to do a survey course, and Pastor Marks lent me 4 of his records. They were such a blessing to me. When I came back to my room, the Beatles would be blaring from one room, and the Rolling Stones from another, and I would go into my room and put on Jimmy Swaggart. It was like heaven came down, and glory filled my soul.

In 1970, I went into the ministry as a gospel singer, showing religious movies. In Durban we went to one of Evangelist Arthur Nippers meetings. He sold Jimmy Swaggart records, and I bought 10 singing records, and he persuaded me to buy 2 preaching ones. These records were such a blessing to me. I played them over and over again for hours, just soaking in the presence of the Lord.

1. I’ve never loved Him better than today – One of my favorite gospel songs by Jimmy Swaggart

I love the fast songs on his early records.

2. God took away my yesterdays

This was the second record..

3. Some Golden Daybreak

This was the first record.

4. In the shelter of His arms

I seem to remember a picture of him standing outside a stone church building. When I would listen to the record, I imagined myself sitting inside just basking in the presence of the Lord.

5. At an altar of prayer

I seem to remember a family picture, with his wife and little boy.

6. The last mile of the way

Last night I was singing this song to myself, which inspired me to do this section.

7. You don’t need to understand

This song is such a comfort.

8. There is a river

This record was a tremendous blessing to me. Thank you.

9. He touched me

I recall this song being on a record where he had the open Bible in front of him. The title was: “Someone to care.”

10. When I get to the end of the way

Another nice song.

11. I’ve never been this homesick before

I first heard this song on his record when I was having meetings with Pastor Eldon King in Arkansas in 1983. I loved this song so much, as I was so homesick for South Africa.

12. He brought me out of the miry clay

All of us sinners are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, and his shed blood on the cross of Calvary.

13. Jesus, just the mention of your name

The credits say this song was written by Mike Murdock. Wow.

14. He chose me

We have a tape of Pastor Johannes Minnie of Port Elizabeth singing this song. He is a big fan of Jimmy Swaggart, so I am guessing that that is where he heard it.

15. Jesus will outshine them all

I had this LP when we lived in South Africa.

16. His hand in mine

I had an this record, plus one of Elvis singing the same song.

17. Remind me

This song was a tremendous blessing to me, and I often sang it at meetings. Years later I heard of Dottie Rambo, who wrote it.

18. If that isn’t love

This is one of my favorite gospel songs.

19. Wasted years

I have often sang this song too.

20. Glory, glory, hallelujah, since I laid my burdens down

The other night I was singing in my room, and after I had sung this song, I ended up on my knees by my bed. I feel such an anointing on this song, and such a presence of the Lord when I sing it.

21. Will the circle be unbroken

Pastor Nipper sold me this preaching record and another one. I wasn’t much into listening to preaching, so I hadn’t listened to it. One day I was singing at a church, and a guy asked me if I had this record. I said yes, and he drove a long way back to the Concord Mission Home to buy it from me, and went away rejoicing. This shocked me, so I decided to listen to the other record. It was called: “What shall the end be.” When I finished listening it, I was on my knees next to the record player. Some years later I had some meetings with a minister who had this record, so I was listening to it in his living room, when his wife walked in. I felt such a fool. There I was crying, with tears running down my cheeks.

22. A crown of thorns

Jesus suffered so much for our salvation. If we reject him, we have no hope of eternal life. I had this record, and I wish I had the song: “Down the sawdust trail.”

23. Jesus use me

That is my prayer.

24. He washed my eyes with tears

“I saw the blood he spilt upon the sands.”

25. This is just what heaven means to me

To be reunited with loved ones, and see Jesus.

26. I know the Lord will make a way for me

Amen.

27. Jesus is the sweetest name I know

This chorus takes me way back to my childhood years, when I sang it over and over again in my mind.

28. Railway to heaven

An old favorite gospel song.

29. Where the roses never fade

Some people that have been to heaven and back say that the grass is singing all the time. Everything is alive and singing.

30. No one ever cared for me like Jesus

Another old favorite gospel song.

31. Build my mansion

One lady that went to heaven said that for each soul you save, you get one brick towards your mansion.

32. At the crossing

I was so blessed by this song. I love it when people put pictures that tell the story about the song. Very beautiful.

33. This is like heaven to me

This goes way back.

34. I shall not be moved

We need to be like the tree by the water. The water is the Holy Spirit.

35. King Jesus

When we were near the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem looking over at the Golden Gate, we were singing this song. Then a Muslim soldier with a rifle came and told us that we cannot sing that song here.

36. Friendship with Jesus

This is just piano. He plays the piano so good, just like David with his harp. The anointing flows through the fingers.

37. How Great Thou Art

The greatest worship song.

38. How long has it been

God wants us to talk to Him and worship Him.

39. I’ll never be lonely again

An old favorite. In the Bible it says the the Lord puts the lonely into families. God doesn’t want anyone to be lonely.

40. Peace in the valley

Peace in the midst of the storm. Like the dove in the hole in the cliff by the sea, where the storm is raging, and the waves are crashing, but the little dove sits there peacefully.

41. Farther along

When my little sister was small, she thought we were singing about Dad.

42. I’d rather have Jesus

I think this was written by George Beverly Shea, who sang at the Billy Graham meetings.

43. Now I have everything

I first heard this by James Blackwood.

44. One more valley

One more trial. Sometimes people buckle under trials. I think of the two nuns who committed suicde one day before the money came in. If they had waited just one more day, they would have had plenty of money. The whole story is on my other website: favourite-love-songs.com

45. Gone

I have been to the empty tomb too. He has gone! Praise the Lord.

46. Got any rivers

We sang this song many times in churches when I was a teenager. It was a very popular faith chorus.

47. Jesus on the mainline

I played this one a couple of times, and danced around the room. When we first visited America in 1976, we were at a church that danced for about an hour in every service, and this is one of the choruses they used to sing.

48. In the sweet bye and bye

I was so happy to find this record cover. It took me back so many years when I bought all of Brother Swaggarts records. I used to imagine myself sitting in that church listening to him sing and play the piano.

49. The old rugged cross made the difference

I think I heard this one first by the Gaither Trio. A very holy song.

50. Only believe

This is another chorus that churches often sang during revival services when I was a teenager.

51. Let me touch Him

This is another song I used to sing a lot back in the 70’s. Such a tremendous song, and I would feel such an anointing.

52. Then I met the Master

That is the most important decision in

53. God on the mountain – Cowboy Cumbia

I found it so funny when Brother Jimmy Lee takes his cowboy hat, then puts it on, and says he always wanted to take on the devil at Dodge City.

54. One more river to cross – Young Singers

I had a record of the Singing Rambos singing this one. I think it was written by Bud Chambers. When we had meetings in Arkansas, we used to change the words. “One more river to cross, one more mountain to climb, one more valley that I gotta go through, leava that skunkie behind.” Those skunks on the road had such a bad smell!

55. Through it all

This is one of my wife’s favorite songs. Very good words.

56. Our Lord is coming back to earth again

Come Lord Jesus.

57. Look for me

I looked up this song. If I can remember correctly, it was written by Rusty Goodman, who passed away.

58. I know who holds tomorrow

I know who holds my trembling hand.

Some songs I had have been taken off. About a hundred times or more, I have put links to songs on the YouTube, only to find they have later been taken off. Maybe people are uploading pirate copies, or maybe it’s the Pirates of the Caribbean that are taking them. If you see Johnny Depp, please ask him if he has seen the songs!

Favorite Love Songs by Johnny Rivers

Posted on February 13, 2014 by admin

1. Memphis Tennessee – My favorite love song by Johnny Rivers

This was a hit song when I was young, and still is one of my most favorite love songs. I really dig that guitar playing, and the ‘live’ audience participation. I wish I could play guitar like Johnny Rivers.

2. I washed my hands in muddy water

Unfortunately this is kind of a bad song about robbing and ending up in jail, but I love that type of music and beat. I have a record of Charlie Rich doing this number.

3. Secret Agent Man

This is a James Bond type of song that was very popular back in the old days. “A pretty face can hide an evil mind.” Johnny Rivers hits the nail on the head with this one.

4. Where have all the flowers gone

When we were teenagers, my brother and I went on holiday to Margate, and we heard a band there sing this number. They sang a lot of requests, so this must be somebody’s favorite love song. I don’t like war, and this number points that out.

5. 500 miles

When we were teenagers, we did a lot of hitch hiking. Then later in life I did a lot of traveling around the world, so I can relate very strongly with the feeling of being a long way from home. So this is a favorite love song for that family feeling.

6. Midnight Special

This is something about being in prison. I don’t know if Johnny Rivers was ever in prison, but he sings about it.

7. Mountain of love

I guess this must be one of Johnny Rivers favorite love songs.

8. You’ve lost that loving feeling

It is so sad when people lose their loving feeling. I think I heard this one before by the Righteous Brothers.

9. Baby I need you loving

Everybody needs to be loved.

10. Poor side of town

I grew up poor, and I can relate to this feeling.

11. Stand by me

It is tough being alone, and no man is complete without a woman.

12. When a man loves a woman

Most fights seem to be over women.

13. Baby come back

This is a real swinger.

14. Sea of heartbreak

Takes me back to my teenage years. I first heard this one in Bulawayo on the radio by Dickie Loader and the Blue Jeans.

15. That’s rock and roll

The teenage years.

16. Six days on the road

I first heard this song when we visited America.

17. Blue suede shoes

I don’t agree with all the words, but it is a lot of good fun.

18. Jesus is a soul man

“He lives in my heart now.”

About a hundred times or more, I have put links to songs on the YouTube, only to find they have later been taken off. Maybe people are uploading pirate copies, or maybe it’s the Pirates of the Caribbean that are taking them. If you see Johnny Depp, please ask him if he has seen the songs!

Cliff Richard – Songs of Faith

Posted on February 12, 2014 by admin

I grew up with Cliff Richard singing love songs, but he got converted and also sings songs of faith.

This is the very first song of faith that I sang at a house meeting. I forgot all the words, but somehow got through it.

2. Why me Lord

Kriss Kristofferson wrote this one.

3. Psalm 23 – Cliff Richard – song of faith

One night I lay in bed and tried to sing this Psalm, so this is what inspired me to do this section. It is such a comfort.

5. I wish we’d all been ready

The late Larry Norman sang this one. I think he and Cliff Richard were friends.

A great old song of faith.

8. Gospel Concert

Cliff Richard ministering in song.

I think Andre Crouch wrote this one.

10. How great Thou art

The greatest song of faith, soon after Cliff Richard received Christ as his Saviour.

11. I will follow You

Jesus said: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

12. Our Father who art in Heaven

What a fantastic prayer in song, with such an audience, and so many singers and musicians. Wow.

13. Amazing Grace

A great old standard.

14. Jesus

John at the end of the Book of Revelation said: “Even so, come Lord Jesus.”

15. Jesus loves you

He says he wrote this song. Very good!

16. Jesus won’t You come back to earth

The same as an earlier song, but very beautiful pictures.

17. You and me and Jesus

The love triangle!

Sharing and singing at a Billy Graham meeting.

Elvis Presley – favorite sad love songs

Posted on February 7, 2014 by admin

Sometimes bad things happen, so here is Elvis Presley singing some of my favorite sad love songs.

1. You gave me a mountain – my favorite sad song by Elvis Presley

I heard a radio announcer in Buffalo say how much this favorite sad love song meant to him when his wife left him, and he couldn’t see his children again. I read a book of Alec Baldwin having the same trouble – he couldn’t see his daughter.

2. It keeps right on a hurting

I have heard this sad love song on the radio by another singer. I guess we all go through hurting times. One of my favorites.

7. Softly as I leave you

A very touching story.

8. For the good times

Yes, we must always concentrate on the good times.

9. Blue eyes crying in the rain

I really enjoyed listening to this one. Nice piano.

10. Blue Spanish Eyes

Such a lovely song that I heard before by Al Martino.

11. I forgot to remember to forget

A very beautiful song.

12. I’m left, you’re right, she’s gone

I heard this when I was young, and still love it.

13. You don’t know me

I love seeing those palm leaves. We had this song on the Clambake movie when we were in South Africa.

Favorite Vacation Songs

Posted on February 4, 2014 by admin

1. Seven little girls sitting in the back seat – The Avons

I heard this song by the Clark sisters when we were on vacation at Mac’s Cottages in Margate when we were teenagers, and it brings back so many memories.

2. Like a Tiger

I heard this song at the roller rink in Margate when we were on vacation there. It brings back such happy memories of skating as fast as I could. Wow.

3. Wolverton Mountain

I heard this song as well while we were on vacation as a teenager, and it seemed so exciting.

4. Rock-A-Hula baby – Tim Adams

The Clark sisters had this record by Elvis while we were on vacation, so it also brings back those nice memories of being on holiday by the sea at Mac’s Cottages.

5. African Penny Whistle and Guitar – Nelson Makoka and Solomon Sibiya

One day while on vacation in Margate as a teenager, I saw two Africans walking down the street playing music. One was playing the penny whistle and the other was playing the guitar. It was so beautiful and casual. They weren’t playing for any audience or anything. They were just playing for their own enjoyment. It brings back lasting memories. No fancy bands or “professional” music, but to me it was more beautiful than most other music I have heard.

6. Kokomo – Beach Boys

This is one of those kind of favorite vacation songs that make you want to be on the beach and swim in the sea.

7. Surfer Girl – Beach Boys

How I long to be surfing again!

8. Beyond the sea – Rod Stewart

She waits for me.

9. Surfing USA – Beach Boys

A clip from a movie.

An old Glen Campbell song that mentions the sea.

Guy and Ralna – Gospel Songs

Posted on February 1, 2014 by admin

One day a week you need to listen to gospel songs to keep your soul on track, so here are Guy and Ralna to help you do that.

1. Do Lord

I also remember singing this gospel song when I was young. The words say: “I took Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too.” If you have never received Jesus as your Savior, I would like to encourage you to do that, because that is the only way to Eternal Life. It looks like Guy and Ralna believe that.

2. Put your hand

Of course this is speaking spiritually. Follow Jesus all the way. I used to sing this gospel song a lot when I first started in the ministry.

3. I saw the light

Jesus said that men love darkness more than light because their deeds are evil. We have to clean up our act. Sing more gospel songs!

4. Guy and Ralna singing a medley of Gospel Songs

We also used to sing Old Time Religion a lot when we were young.

5. What a friend we have in Jesus

Guy and Talna seem to have met this friend, have you? If not, meet Him today on your knees, and ask Him to forgive you all your sins, and to come live in your heart.

6. In the Garden

This is about Mary Magdalene meeting Jesus at the Garden Tomb.

7. Rock of Ages

Paul taught that Jesus is the rock.

8. Away in a manger

Here are Guy and Ralna with their cute little baby girl.

9. All His children

We can become his children by receiving Jesus as our Saviour. “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” John 1;12.

10. Footprints in the sand

A very lovely song.

11. Footprints (different pictures)

Beautiful pictures. Jesus said He will never leave us.

12. How great Thou art

One of the greatest worship songs ever. Jesus said that God wants people to worship Him. Why not try worshiping Him today.

Extra bonus

13. Lawrence Welk Singers – songs of faith

I also have a Gospel web site. If you want to check it out, go to: http://countrygospelandbible.com/

Favorite love songs by Guy and Ralna

Posted on January 26, 2014 by admin

1. Have I told you lately that I love you – One of my favorite love songs by Guy and Ralna

Today I was singing “Have I told you lately that I love you” and so I thought I would do a section on Guy and Ralna singing this favorite love song. This is one of the first love songs I heard my mother sing when I was a little boy. The way these folks sing is so beautiful to me.

2. I can’t stop loving you

Many times I imagine how Elvis would sing this song, and I swing the guitar around. Unfortunately, I have never seen him do it. This is definitely one of my all time favorite love songs.

3. True love

When Guy and Ralna sing favorite love songs, I think it is the closest you can ever get to the real thing.

4. Let it be me

I heard the Everly Brothers sing this one when I was a teenager, so it brings back lots of lovely memories.

5. When I’m sixty four

Their songs seem to span the decades. I heard this one many times on the radio by the Fab Four.

6. You’re my best friend

One of my favorite love songs by Don Williams.

7. Bye bye love

I remember singing this one at the Salisbury Rock Band Contest back in 1964. It was lots of fun, even though it is a sad song.

8. Dream a little dream of me

This one makes me think of being on a tropical island.

9. Sentimental journey

Going back to make new memories.

10. Don’t sit under the apple tree

Here’s another one that takes me back to my childhood. My mother was involved in the Second World War, and she often sang it.

11. Orange Blossom Special

A Johnny Cash special from Folsom Prison.

12. Let me be there

Olivia would be proud!

13. You light up my life

We first heard this song by Pat Boone’s daughter when we went to his show in Johannesburg. It is so beautiful how they relate it to their daughter. To each of us, songs stir up certain feelings and memories.

14. I can’t help falling in love with you

Take my hand, take my whole life too! That is true love!

15. Leaving on a jet plane

I first heard this song at a Four Jacks and a Jill concert in the Bulawayo City Hall, back in the 60’s.

16. The twelfth of never

I first heard this one by Cliff Richard.

17. Only you

Guy and Ralna sing every song well.

18. There’s no place like home

So true.

I love the old fashioned clothing.

Favorite Love Songs by Pat Boone

Posted on November 20, 2013 by admin

Pat Boone sings some of my favorite love songs, and I would like to share some of them with you.

1. Remember you’re mine

I had this girl friend once, who told me: “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine.”

2. I’m walking the floor over you

An oldie, but a goodie.

3. Let me call you sweetheart

I played in a band long ago that did this number. On some of these songs his wife Shirley sings with him. On some of the pictures though, there is not his wife, but Shirley Jones.

4. Side by side

When I was little I saw some folks sing this on TV in Salisbury, Rhodesia.

5. My Happiness

This is still one of my favorite love songs. I think this was the first recording Elvis did – for his mother.

6. Vaya con Dios

Very beautiful.

7. Melody of love

This is a new one for me, but very nice.

8. My blue heaven

I heard this as an instrumental when I was a teenager.

9. Tennessee Waltz

An old standard.

10. Blueberry Hill

Every singer gives their own different feeling to a song.

11. Pearly Shells

One of my favorite love songs by Pat Boone. I still long to be by the sea.

12. Why Baby why

I think this was maybe one of his big hits.

13. Bernardine

I think this was the very first song I heard Pat Boone sing. I was about 11 years old at a friend’s house, and I saw the record cover with his face on it. It really impressed me, and I longed to be able to make a record myself one day, with my face on it.

14. Rock around the clock

This was a big hit for Bill Haley when I was young, and I longed to grow up and party all night!

15. Love letters in the sand – my favorite love song by Pat Boone

One of the greatest recordings ever. He told us that he had it on the “B” side of his record, because there has to be a song on the other side. He never expected it to be a hit.

16. Ain’t that a shame

His copy of Fats Domino.

17. Moon River

Such a lot of world to see. I’ve only been in 15 countries.

18. Remember me, I’m the one who loves you

I was listening to Stuart Hamblin sing this yesterday.

19. Begin the Beguine

I heard my mother sing this when I was little, and I never knew what she was talking about. Apparently “Beguine” is a dance.

20. Harbor lights

My mother went to England during the war, in case some other harbour lights took her husband away from her. So I got born in England. Then after the war, they went back to Rhodesia.

21. Running Bear

I loved this song when I was a teenager. We had the record by another singer.

22. Everybody’s somebody’s fool

We have the Connie Francis recording.

23. Jambalaya

Maybe Pat Boone was influenced by Hank Williams there in Nashville!

24. Unchained Melody

Lonely rivers flow to the sea. I never knew rivers got lonely, but it is done very nicely.

25. Rosemarie

It seems like a number of American singers had hits in countries like Germany or Japan. Maybe Pat Boone had the same experience.

26. Sentimental me

Nice romantic video.
