My grandma really loved elvis ???s music .. so we played this song at her funeral .. everytime i listen to this Song there are so many memories in my head
not nostalgia
i guess most of us leave it too late before we tell someone just how much we really love them
nostalgia
I love this song reminds me of the love of my life
not nostalgia
I have such a hard time showing my love for the ones I care about, I keep pushing them away. And because of this I lost the most amazing girl I have ever met. Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
nostalgia
When I hear this song it reminds me of everything in my life. I live on the side of a great love. I imagine in the lyrics of music.

I think when Princilla left him it all started to go wrong for him. He loved her and Lisa Marie. So sad!I wish he had been able to fulfill his life, he was a gentle soul.
nostalgia
I ruined a relationship with the most beautiful, wonderful, loving woman ever. This song reminds me i should have been more transparent, i broke her heart. And i regret it 10 years later.

So sad I never get to see him wish I was in the time of elvis Presley and Michael Jackson

Always was and always will be the greatest,always been my favorite singer..awesome what a loss he was to the world
not nostalgia
I???m only 16 years old but I???ve always had people listen to him he???s amazing
not nostalgia
I grew up hard and never learned how to love and whenever I'm in a relationship I never told any of them that I loved them. I'm probably going to die alone because of the little things I can't say or do to show a woman I love her .
nostalgia
I love this song so much. I can still remember my mum Mary sat curled up on my fathers lap while he sung along to this song. He had the most amazing Welsh Singing voice and the loved they shared was so deep. I miss them both so much but I am glad they are still together. Thank you mum and dad for showing me how to give and receive love. I was very blessed to have you both in my life.
nostalgia
A great song which reminded the happy memories of my youthful days in the USA.
nostalgia
I could swoon everytime I hear this golden baritone....heard it growing up..and makes me nostalgic.
not nostalgia
I love this music too. Maybe you didn't get what I meant. There was little glich before with Barbiedolly.
nostalgia
I remember i was 11 years old, standing in my aunt's kitchen with family all around. and the announcement came on tv that elvis had died, and watching all the adults go into shock. i was shocked too.
not nostalgia
I was in 2nd grade when this movie came out. When you age, your memory is your only treasure. Build a treasure for your youth.
not nostalgia
Pay attention to lyrics in this classic..My life very much relates to it in many situations..That???s why I love this joint.
not nostalgia
this song helps me when i feel like given up , very inspirational
nostalgia
Rip sweet mum how I miss you so and this song you used to sing to me as a child reminds of you
nostalgia
all his songs brings tears to my eyes so many memories
not nostalgia
The 4 Tops were amazing, Levi Stubbs had one of Motown???s greatest voices, up there with Smokey, Marvin, David and others. Don???t forget to hear and give thanks to the Funk Brothers. Jamie Jamison, troubled, but a great bass man, and all the others underrated.
nostalgia
This song came out in 67, I was 5 yo. It was my favorite song then and my mom bought me the 45 record and I still have it. The Motown sound is still alive and well in my memories.
not nostalgia
The SOUL in his voice, and at such a young age he had so much vocal power. Seventeen years old, what a legend this man
nostalgia
I was 19 when this song came out, it brings back some good memories of that time.
not nostalgia
Who wrote this song? I think maybe Steve Winwood. He was only 17 as well. By the way Spencer Davis was a teacher at my old primary school for a while. My son now goes there.
not nostalgia
Someone said he's 16 years old there..hard to believe .but he's really good for that age.
not nostalgia
If I tried to sing like that I'd blow my voice out. Great tune.
not nostalgia
It's not a black thing it's a soul thing ,if you got it you got it and he's got it , natural . If it's in you it's got to come out
nostalgia
I heard these guys on the radio for the first time when I was in college. Thought they were a black soul group. Fantastic. Steve Winwood probably in his teens.
not nostalgia
It's a shame they aren't too popular or recognized now. They really are a great band with smashing songs.
nostalgia
he 60's and 70's were fantastic years for the rock. good times were that times
not nostalgia
I loved that song in the 60's. I had no idea until I read your comments that Stevie Winwood was singing it!
nostalgia
I was 14 when I first heard 17 year steve winwood fantastic on am radio to boot MONO no stereo
not nostalgia
absolutely beautiful masterpiece, solid gold standard of excellence, phenomenal sound, top of the line great music & memories of life, 100% pure talent
not nostalgia
Steve is so under appreciated now. Few younger people realize what a soulful virtuoso he was in his teens and beyond. Somebody please invent a time machine!
nostalgia
Brings back the memories thats for sure
not nostalgia

The Age Of Adaline brought me here. Enjoying the evening with my youngest daughter viewing the movie, when she ask who the band was. I'm 60 she's 22.
nostalgia
I was on my way to San Francisco what a time that was! Great song???
not nostalgia
This is my favorite version of this song. But then, I have never heard a bad version. Love Merle's too.
not nostalgia
Sad song that tells of a man reminiscing about his past, his home, his family, and his love before he is executed: exists
nostalgia

My mum had this song on tape when I was a kid (early 80s) and I remember thinking it was the most depressing thing I'd ever heard.
nostalgia

nostalgia
I remember this growing up, used to hear it on the radio and my mum used to play it, was one of them tunes thats always stuck with me. Later on in life i used to sing it to my daughter when she was growing up as a toddler (obviously changed it to her name which is Leoni) and it used to bring tears to her eyes. She's im her late teens now, i dont even know if she would remember it.
not nostalgia

nostalgia
"Distant Drums" is maybe the first memory of Jim Reeves and his music. The memory is as dear to me as Reeves' voice. Unforgettable and beautiful.
not nostalgia
Shout out to all the teens (like me) that can appreciate great tunes like this
not nostalgia
A brilliant song that really highlights a tragedy so well.
nostalgia
banned from radio for been to sad personally i think my bonnie lies over the ocean is sadder and we used to sing that in school lol
not nostalgia
That is such a coincidence because Laura happens to be my 17th favourite name EVER
nostalgia
1960 I was a teenager and this was a very big No. 1. It was in the charts for weeks. A very memorable one hit wander
nostalgia
Brings back some good memories lol
not nostalgia
Decent version of the song, but until this video compilation I'd never pictured "Laura" as a cheap, trailer park skank.
not nostalgia
do not create music like this anymore and people who have had sorrow knowing laura it is a personal thing ,but maybe the music adds comfort
nostalgia
My first love was a girl called Laura, a young 14 year old me but i never plucked up the courage to ask her out, we was best of friends for a long time during the early 90s but went our separate ways. 20 years later i found her on Facebook, got in contact, messages got flowing, we met up and 4 years later we married, had kids and living happily ever after. Joking, the first part was true, the later part is bullshit.
not nostalgia
grew up to these sort of songs better than the crap now can hear the words
not nostalgia
The best music EVER created, and should NEVER be forgotten.
not nostalgia
The video lyrics are wrong in some cases and only half finished in others.
nostalgia
Laura I remember lived at Blackstone crossroads I wonder where she is now???
not nostalgia
The young lady in this video is certainly not 1960 vintage. She's very much 21st Century.
not nostalgia
What a nice song such nice words made in calmer days not like to day do they make any good songs now?
nostalgia
Oh I love this song so very much. My Dad use to sing it when I was a child, he had such a beautiful voice and this reminds me of him. Beautiful song ..
nostalgia
Memories, memories,is sad that they gonna but the music never forget.I love JIM.
nostalgia
Jim Reeves music reminds me of my grandparents who loved his music and i remember hearing his songs when i was young, and my nan singing along to his his songs RIP nan & grandad
nostalgia
I wish I had this experienced head on my younger shoulders back then, things Would have been a lot different.
nostalgia
I love all his songs bring back memories of yesterday
not nostalgia
Why do all the sad songs seem to bear my name?
nostalgia
Old men usually sing this to me. The caretaker at school sang it everyday to me and it was so embarrassing. I just need to find a Tommy now and life would be sweet
not nostalgia
Please be careful about what you say. You are talking about a person who was the greatest entertainer of our time thank you.
not nostalgia
This is the greatest concert in the history of music.
not nostalgia
Gorgeous man, a voice that would melt your heart.
not nostalgia
He was called the King, but still under-rated. I wish he had known how good he was.
nostalgia
This played at my Grandad's funeral just over a year ago. It was one of his favorites. I'd kept my composure relatively in-check throughout the service, but as soon as this song started I completely and utterly lost it. My Nan is named Mary too, so it really hit home for all of us. Thinking about it now, this song is very melancholy but also very uplifting, which I guess makes it quite peaceful. There couldn't have been a more perfect song choice.
nostalgia
Love this song so much, no one can sing it like Jim Reeves!I live in constant chronic pain, I listen to this song, reminds me of dancing with my husband who passed 3 years ago. He worked all over the world mining, when we got engaged we danced to this.
nostalgia
My parents played this a lot when I was a kid and teen. My father is now living with me in his old age, and listening to this brought back a lot of feelings. My mum when she was alive and younger. My father as a man in his prime.
not nostalgia
You can see from his face when he sings those high notes in the last part how much he's satisfied with that voice and delivery.
not nostalgia
I take nothing away from James Taylor when I make this statement. He is no doubt one of the greatest artist in American Music and one of the most prolific song writers of all time. With that said, Taylor may have written this song to mock white blues artist but here's the thing, in my lifetime I've listened to his (Taylor's) version of the tune maybe three times.
not nostalgia
MOST AWESOME SONG EVER AND SUNG BE THE COOLEST PERSON EVER AND HIS NAME IS ELVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not nostalgia
I just wish I could have seen him live just once. He was the best there will ever be for me.
not nostalgia
Priscilla had been gone over a year at this concert and Elvis appears FINE and enjoying the ride!
not nostalgia
Just imaging him rolling over me right now lol My he was a stunning gorgeous looking fella. ?He certainly left this earth too soon however left his mark.,
not nostalgia
I love all genres of music singing by this incredible Man, but blues song the most. Mr. Presley you were awesome singer. Really the Best of the Best. No doubt, you still do not have comparison in the World. Great in so many genres. Still only one.
not nostalgia
I like how he laughs at the beginning of the song then looks to the side. Would love to know what he was thinking. Always and forever the King of all music
nostalgia
Good lord, what a time to be alive, take me back to 73???
