Late 1967, The Lettermen brought about, on a 'LIVE' Album, perhaps the group'a most loved and requested hit : the Medley of 'Goin' Out Of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes Off You.' Requested by SACKS, an Ole Navy Vet from Atlanta. Hope you'll enjoy it, Sir!
I am in Grade 5 (Section 10), when this bouncy and lovely song hits the airwaves in 1968. It was the time I was emerged as one of the fastest runner of Paete Elementary School, along with Elesio Palatino (a dear friend). The said school was donated by the late Don Alejandro Roces, father of the late Don Ramon Roces who later became my saviour, my mentor and my future due to a long time stint with FUNNY KOMIKS for CHILDREN. At that time, I'm just a mere listener of the 60's music, I've heard a lot of The Beatles, The Dave Clark Five, The Cascades, Gary Lewis and The Playboys, The Monkees, The Brothers Four, The Bee Gees (to name a few) and so on. I've seen a lot of the Fav 4 movies such as 'A Hard Day's Night', Yellow Submarine' and 'Help!'. Even The Monkees had their own movies which featured all their hit songs such as, 'Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter', but not a single movie of The Lettermen. I had no particular favorite song at that time of years, but I'm hearing Lettermen's 'I Will Love You', 'Warm', 'I Love How You Love Me' and 'The Wonder Of You.' almost simultaneously in AM Radio Stations especially at midnight. I'd like to sleep along with the songs of that era, mild, mellow, sweet and full of meaning. That made the baby boomers generation more compassionate, more obedient than today's youth. Will the song of each era can really build a man's mindset? The more lovely the song is, the more mellow your human outcome will be. And that's what I am with me today. And I'm proud of my era, my generation and my choose of music!
