About the Song

There’s a tender sweetness to The Paris Sisters’ I Love How You Love Me that feels like a warm embrace from a bygone era. Released in 1961, this delicate ballad by the trio of sisters—Priscilla, Albeth, and Sherrell Paris—captures the innocence and romance of early ‘60s pop with a sincerity that’s hard to resist. For those of us who’ve seen the world change over the decades, this song is a gentle reminder of simpler times, when love was expressed in soft harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Produced by a young Phil Spector, it’s an early glimpse of his Wall of Sound genius, but it’s the sisters’ voices—especially Priscilla’s lead—that make this track a treasure worth revisiting.

The Paris Sisters, hailing from San Francisco, brought a unique charm to the pop landscape of their day. I Love How You Love Me, written by Barry Mann and Larry Kolber, is a love letter set to music, with Priscilla’s breathy, intimate delivery at its heart. Her voice floats over the lush instrumentation—strings, soft percussion, and a hint of echo—like a whisper meant just for you. “I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me,” she sings, and it’s impossible not to feel the quiet devotion in every note. Albeth and Sherrell’s backing vocals add a layer of warmth, their harmonies blending seamlessly to create a sound that’s both ethereal and grounded. It’s the kind of song that might’ve played at a high school dance or drifted through an open window on a summer evening.

What sets I Love How You Love Me apart is its understated elegance. This isn’t a loud declaration of passion—it’s a soft, personal confession, wrapped in Spector’s burgeoning production style. For older listeners with a taste for nuance, it’s a perfect example of how less can be more. The arrangement doesn’t overpower; it cradles the sisters’ voices, letting their emotion shine through. There’s a nostalgia here that resonates deeply—perhaps it recalls a first love, a stolen glance, or a moment when the world felt full of possibility. Even if you didn’t grow up with it, the song’s timeless quality makes it easy to imagine those days.

For those who appreciate the craft of ‘60s pop, The Paris Sisters offer a refreshing contrast to the era’s bigger, brasher hits. I Love How You Love Me climbed to number five on the Billboard Hot 100, and it’s easy to see why: it’s pure, unadulterated feeling, delivered with a grace that’s rare in any decade. Priscilla’s lead is the soul of the song, but the trio’s chemistry is what makes it soar. It’s a piece of music that invites you to slow down, to savor the small joys of love, and to remember that sometimes the quietest moments leave the loudest echoes. Whether you’re hearing it again or for the first time, The Paris Sisters’ gentle masterpiece remains a lovely gift—a song that loves you right back.The Paris Sisters - I Love How You Love Me / Greatest Hits (31 Cuts) - Amazon.com Music

Lyrics: I Love How You Love Me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I’m away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I’m away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me

Long before the world called him the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley was simply a poor boy from Tupelo, Mississippi. He grew up in a small two room house where money was scarce and every day was a struggle. There were no promises of success, only a family that worked hard and hoped for a better future. Those difficult years shaped the man Elvis would become.

When Elvis Presley was laid to rest in August 1977, the grief was almost impossible to describe. Family and close friends said their final goodbyes as his casket was lowered into the mausoleum at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis. For those who loved him most, it was not just the farewell to the King of Rock and Roll. It was the heartbreaking loss of a son, a father, and a friend whose music had touched millions of lives.

One of the most remarkable things about Elvis Presley’s concerts was something many fans never even noticed. He could guide an entire band without speaking a single word. A simple smile, a nod, a glance, or the slightest movement of his hand was often enough for his musicians to know exactly what to do next.

FACING CRITICS AND FORWARD OPERATING BASES, TOBY KEITH GAVE TWENTY YEARS OF HIS LIFE TO THE TROOPS WHO CALLED HIM FAMILY. The critics called him a warmonger. The soldiers called him family. Only one of them ever met him. Toby Keith didn’t have to go. He was already a superstar — private jets, sold-out arenas, number one hits. Instead, he got on military transport planes. Flew into Iraq. Afghanistan. Kuwait. Places where the stage was a flatbed truck and the audience carried rifles. Not once. Not for a photo op. 11 USO tours. Over 285 shows. Nearly 256,000 troops. More than any artist of his generation. He did it for his father — H.K. Covel, an Army veteran who lost his right eye in service, who raised his kids to respect the flag. When his dad died in 2001, six months before 9/11, Toby wrote “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” in 20 minutes. Critics tore him apart for it. Radio hosts called him angry. Hollywood called him worse. He never apologized. He just kept flying back. Soldiers remember him eating in the mess halls, not backstage. Playing acoustic sets on forward operating bases too dangerous for full crews. Coming back year after year, even when the cameras stopped following. Then came the diagnosis. Stomach cancer. He fought it quietly for two years — and still stood on stage in 2023, thin and unbroken, singing “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” He passed in February 2024. The Country Music Hall of Fame called his name that same year. He never wore the uniform. But ask any soldier who was there. Some people salute with their hand. Toby Keith saluted with 20 years of his life.

FROM GROWING UP ON ANNE MURRAY’S RECORDS IN ALBERTA TO SHARING THE STAGE DECADES LATER, K.D. LANG’S LIFELONG ADMIRATION CAME FULL CIRCLE. K.D. lang took her Hall of Fame award from Anne Murray in 2013 and told her, “I still have a crush on you.” It happened at the Juno Awards in Regina, April 21, 2013, on national television. The woman handing lang the honour was one of the idols she’d grown up on out in Consort, Alberta. Murray said of her that night, “I loved her sense of fun, her spunk, her gumption, and she could sing.” Six years earlier they had already sung together. For Duets: Friends & Legends, Murray re-recorded seventeen of her own songs with her favourite female singers, and the one she cut with lang was “A Love Song.” Emmylou Harris, Shania Twain, Olivia Newton-John and Celine Dion were all on that record. Reviewers still singled out how cleanly lang’s voice sat against Murray’s. Eighteen years after that album, on October 27, 2025, the Grand Ole Opry House filled up for a tribute night called The Music of My Life. Murray was 80, retired from the stage since 2008, and she stayed down in the audience with more than a dozen of her family. One after another the singers took her hits. Then k.d. lang walked out and sang “A Love Song” — the one the two of them had recorded together — back to the woman who had been her idol since Alberta.

GROWING UP SIDE BY SIDE AS YOUNG MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, LORETTA LYNN AND BETTY SUE FORGED A BOND THAT SURVIVED POVERTY, FAME, AND AN UNBEARABLE LOSS. LORETTA LYNN BECAME A MOTHER AT 16. DECADES LATER, SHE ADMITTED SHE AND HER DAUGHTER HAD ALMOST RAISED EACH OTHER. Betty Sue was Loretta’s first child. She arrived before Loretta had finished growing up herself. While most girls her age were thinking about school dances and the future, Loretta was keeping house, working in the garden and caring for a baby. Three more children followed quickly. Betty Sue became the feisty little “boss” of her younger siblings, while her young mother tried to build a home from almost nothing. Looking back, Loretta said, “In many ways it felt like we raised each other.” As the years passed, their bond changed. Betty Sue became a songwriter, helped her mother with the ranch and worked beside her in entertainment. But more than that, she became the person Loretta called every day. Not simply a daughter. A best friend. When Betty Sue died in 2013, Loretta had already survived poverty, a difficult marriage, the death of her son Jack and six decades in the music business. None of it prepared her for losing her firstborn. “Part of my heart died when she left us,” Loretta later wrote. Loretta became a mother at 16. But when Betty Sue died, she learned that no matter how old a child becomes, a mother never stops seeing the baby who first gave her that name.

FROM A TEN-DOLLAR FAIRGROUND GIG TO A FORTY-YEAR PROMISE, FOUR BOYS FROM VIRGINIA HONORED A HANDSHAKE WITH JOHNNY CASH THAT CHANGED COUNTRY MUSIC FOREVER.They didn’t get there alone. They never could have. And for most of their lives, they didn’t even know how to repay the man who got them there.They were four boys from Staunton, Virginia — Don Reid, Harold Reid, Phil Balsley, Lew DeWitt. A quartet with church-pew harmonies and no audience. They asked $10 a show. Sometimes they paid $10 just for the privilege of singing.Then there was Johnny Cash. The Man in Black. The one who heard them at the Salem Fairgrounds in the summer of 1963 and hired them on a handshake. No contract. No paperwork. Just a hand extended to four unknown boys.He took them on tour for eight and a half years. He put them on At Folsom Prison. He gave them a weekly spot on his ABC show. And they never asked why a legend had bet his stage on four nobodies from Virginia.Then came September 12, 2003. Cash was gone. Don Reid was 58. And the handshake from a Virginia fairground was forty years old. Some debts get paid in money. The ones that matter get paid in the rest of your life. So what did Don Reid finally understand at Cash’s grave — and why did the Statlers spend the next twenty years singing his name in every show?
