What a wonderfully incredible and sentimental reaction! You look like a little kid in a candy store. 😊 A real and truthful response. And it's so joyful to watch. Bless you and your grandpa!

My depression has been horrendous since contracting Covid. I don't really need help in that department because I have bipolar disorder, but hey, that's the world we live in right now. Your reactions had me laughing, crying, and feeling a deep sense of wonder. Given the significance of this song for you in your memory, this all makes you a miracle to me. Thank you so much.

A classic! Have this '45 somewhere. Yeah, they also played it in Lion King. So sweet that your grandpa used to sing this to you.

That is a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing it with us! I have many tender memories of my grandparents! I went fishing with Grandpa and Grandma every Sunday all through my childhood and continued fishing with them as an adult, I was fortunate that they lived to 91 for him and 99 for her! Even though your Grandpa couldn't sing it as well, I bet you loved it at the time! If you see your Grandpa I'd play the song and both of you sing along with it! That would be yet another fabulous memory to treasure! FABULOUS reaction!

Music is a magical doorway: it can take you instantly to another country, another place, another time, transporting you to long-"forgotten" realms in a split second and bring them vividly to life.

This was played on Irish radio nearly every day when I was a child. Love it -- the harmonies and falsetto seemed incredible, and still do. Love that you are remembering it.

Yeah it is said to be originally an old African song...... and, The Tokens just did their version of it, which became a huge hit for them.
