This song was popular when I was still in high school, and I so loved it. Many years later, when our little Margaret arrived from South Korea, this is the song we sang to her:
I love the words, and think it is a wonderful poem. It was played this past weekend at our niece's wedding, and I was so happy to be with our grown-up little girl.
And here she is with her dear Matty, and their little "my girl."
She's adorable and I love your header photo! I see mother and daughter have matching outfits. So cute...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I should post a picture that really shows the dresses, sweaters, and shoes! They were wonderful. And my grandsons had little khaki pants and shirts, and one had a bow tie.

Blown me away...I spent 10 months
back in 68, at Motown, Detroit..!
Soul music is a BIG part of my life!
I was one of the few white faces allowed
there..Two things run my life...my music,
my emotions...Thanks for this...and of course
the first person to record this was the late,
great Otis Redding...1965..!
"Willie..can you remember it...".
"Can l remember it"...
My Girl....
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
Hey hey hey..
Hey hey hey...
Ooh..
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got…
Thanks for coming by. Lucky you having those months in Detroit at that magical time.
DeleteA sweet family photo.
ReplyDeleteI too like this song.
I love this song! I still sing it and dance to it. How sweet that you sang it to your Margaret!
DeleteOne of my favourites too. Did your daughter make the matching outfits? They are lovely and the photo is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the song, the words, the singers, and your story. So cool that it was played at your niece's wedding .
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely song, and I have always liked soul music, although I am too young to have experienced it all in real life.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, Matty and Hazel Nina are such a beautiful family - inside (from what I know through you) and outside! I love the dresses the two ladies are wearing :-)
What a nice photo of your girls.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this and I love this song, singing for as long as you. It has become granddaughter Kezzie and my song.
Such a lovely family photo
ReplyDeleteThe Temptations have always been one of my favorite groups and I was a teenager when this song came out also. Fond memories. (and lovely pictures of your girls)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family (and photo)!!
