This song is especially interesting to me cause I lived some of it. Back in 1966 I walked on the beach of Waikiki with a girl named Gloria Shegami Kukita. She was Polynesian. I was in the U.S. Navy. She was a real nice girl cousin to one of my shipmates named Steve Aoki. I was 20 years old.
I was 11 years old when I first heard this song on WMCA AM radio ! Used to watch Ozzie and Harriet all the time also ! But this song was great because it made me start noticing Girls ! and to have a girl in every Port and travel how cool would that be ! The world was a Different place then you could go practically go anywhere , not like today ! But anyway ! Great song ! It was a shame when Ricky Nelson died in the Plane Crash on New Years Eve ! R I P !
Ricky I loved trying to sing your songs & part of my love for music.I saw you in Greenville NC in concert & you had a crash & left us that next dat.However you & your music & voice lives with me at 71 years old!
ricky nelson family been going long time in music yeah classic carry on with ricky sons yes they got fantastic and beautiful voice like there dad nice video
Good looking guy who was so under rated by his peers. The criticism and snarky gutter snipes of his day were cruel snobs, but he carried on with his music and We The Appreciative Fans were blessed with his beautiful melodies.
