There are many songs that take us back to a different time. The best of these songs take us back to happy days that we can remember with positive emotions.
This song, written by Bernie Wayne and Lee Morris in 1950, charted well for a young Tony Bennett in 1951, reaching the top 20. As is often the case, other artists picked up the song and recorded it, but the interpretation that everyone remembered was the 1963 version, recorded by Bobby Vinton on the Epic label.
It was on the Blue on Blue album. Blue Velvet went to No. 1 in 1963. We heard it often then and in the years that followed.

Evocative! Thank you for the memories, Dr. Bruce, of more innocent times.

Dr. Smith, You always write with such detailed and elegant descriptions. I love how you described Midnight Blue. Your words are poetic. I too, remember Skateland. In those days it was always a safe place to go and have fun. I would bet our mom's loved that we were using up some energy and would sleep well that night. I was never good at stopping and had to run into the wall and slow myself down. I was not a good skater, but it was fun. Yes, they turned down the lights for couple's skate. I think I remember a big disco ball shining its light all around the room and the wood floor. Thanks for the memories.
