I just love “A Summer Place”> It makes me feel like I am home with my mom and dad. Funny how this was so famous compared to the rest of the music here which I also love.

That’s an iconic tune. Probably more people have heard the song than saw the movie..

These were written in the days where people set out to write great songs and singers really worked for hits. That’s why you know most of them…
