Kudos to the people at Disney in 1955 for discovering this talented guy. This was when Disney discovered talent and didn't create it. R.I.P. Mr. Crawford!

Why is it as a guy, I still get so teary eyed when hear any of Johnny's songs after all these years? I am now 70 years old & love his songs, such a great person Johnny was...❤🙏✌💗✝👍

What a beautiful voice he had. Such a great actor, I loved him.

Actor, singer, musician, and bandleader Johnny Crawford passed away on April 29th, 2021. He was seventy-five years old... He was best known for playing Mark McCain on the ABC-TV weekly western era series 'The Rifleman', it aired from 1958 to 1963 and he appeared in all 168 episodes... At the age of 13, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for 'Best Supporting Actor' for his work on the show... In 1955 he was one of the original Mouseketeers on Walt Disney's 'Mickey Mouse Club', he was cut after its first season due to a reduction in the size of the cast... Between 1961 and 1964 the Los Angeles, California native had eight records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, "Cindy's* Birthday", it peaked at #8 {for 2 weeks} in June of 1962 and spent thirteen weeks on the Top 100... He had two Top 20 records, "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow" at #14 for one week in August of 1962 and "Rumors" at #12 for one week in December of 1962... In the 1990s he was the leader of 'The Johnny Crawford Band'... May he R.I.P. * In 1963 he released a Cindy sequel titled "Cindy's Gonna Cry", it reached #72 and stayed on the Top 100 for seven weeks...

The innocence of youth back then...now, sad.

Silly title but I have loved this song from day one. Johnny has a great voice.

Mr. Crawford what talent I admire you, I enjoyed the rifleman as a child, I even remember watching you sing as you got a little older what a voice and now that I am an adult I find myself going down memory lane I find myself watching the rifleman reruns and I enjoy it just as much I really love watching how Mr. Crawford loved his Pa and how much he respected him he played his role so well I can feel the love thank you for making my childhood so pleasant then and even now as an adult. I Thank GOD for you Mr. Crawford God Bless you, your wife and family. ( I love your songs too such a wonderful voice) 🎤🎵🎸🙇‍♀️

While a student at the Los Angeles City College Broadcasting Dept., in 1965, I organized a contest involving the young star of the Rifleman TV series, Johnny Crawford, the actor who played the Rifleman's (Chuck Connors) son on the show and who also had a hit single called “Cindy’s Birthday.” The promotion offered a young woman student a date with Johnny to Disneyland. I went to Disneyland with Johnny, his agent, and the winner of the promotion. Johnny’s agent took publicity photos of everyone.

I heard this song in 1962 in Victorville, California. Thanks, Mr. Crawford. R.I.P.

Boy that takes me back!! Love it!! Had such a crush on him!! RIP.

His sincerity is so precious.

He had a Fantastic Voice

All those bubblegum songs the studios made those 60s starlets crank out: Johnny was one of the only ones who sounded like he enjoyed what he was doing. Lovely and tuneful. Of course he went on to a career in music.

Heard this song (for the first time) at the local Walgreens, I came straight home and found it here. ...Cool song.

THIS IS SUCH A PURE SONG COMPARED TO ANYTHING TODAY

All thumbs up for this great song !!!

I never knew he sang. Very good! I always had a little crush on him my dad was a Rifleman fan.

I didnt know anything about him back then but im thankful i can listen to it now!!!

Have always loved this song. Great music.

I really like his voice and his humor

Every now and then I discover an artist and I become obsessed if they have extremely rare talent...then I listen to their songs everyday...johnny Crawford is my new obsession...he is gifted...his vocals are so sweet and pure and innocent sounding...the tone of his voice just kills me...your nose is gonna grow is a sweet lovely song .

I am so in love with Johnny Crawford, the song sindys birthday brought back so many memories.

I bought this song on iTunes and I have listened to it 148 times on my computer alone. That's not even counting all the times that I've played it on my ipod...

I can remember hearing this on my late sisters 45 record player, you know the kind that you could stack up to 10 45 singles on and they would drop down one at a time. She also had Wayward Wind among her singles and Image of a Girl and oh yea Sacred. She has been gone many years now but not a day goes by that she is not in my thoughts. This is most certainly a great song from a bye gone time.

Every time I hear him sing, my heart melts a little more. I think I'm in love.

I have love this guy. Mark from Rifleman and i just maybe one day I could meet him. From Mission BC Canada.

Junior high memories! Love "Rumors" and "Cindy's Birthday" too.

I GOT THIS ON A 45 R.P.M.SINGLE on the Del FI label as a young child.When I got a little older, I saw Johnny Crawford on The Rifleman.I still like the song! Thanks for the Upload R.K.

what a fantastic photo of Johnny. I love the wisp of hair hanging down from the rest of his hair

Love it! What a blast from the past...the bogey man will get you...they don't write lyrics like that any more.

I had this record in the 60s played it quite a bit on my guitar as well. Great memories.

MAN THIS SURE TAKES ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN I LIVED IN CHESTERTON IND.

I haven't heard this since probably the early 70's. It truly is one of the all but forgotten songs of a great time in music

So cute, enjoyed watching him in Rifleman. Wish he'd still be recording.😘

pop music is so much fun to listen to and then to remember as life goes by.....great tunes make great memories

I just saw a couple of episodes of "The Rifleman" and this song kept going on and on in my mind,so I came over here to KZfaq.I liked it at age 15 and I still like it now.

I knew Johnny from "The Rifleman", but I didn't know he was a crazy singer. Cool

Box he was so damn beautiful.

oh my this takes me back to the good ole days and the beautiful songs we listened to that had meaning to them. SO ROMANTIC AND WONDERFUL MEMORIES! !

Currently watching The Rifleman on Amazon Prime. Great western for the time and the chemistry between Johnny and Chuck was real. They really felt like family.

Now forever singing from the grave RIP 1946-2021

I absolutely love this song. I still have my 45.

fantastic song dont miss a thing made my day

great music. glad I was there in the beginning of this.

Very catchy song by a very talented singer and actor.

This song is sung by Johnny Crawford from The rifleman I just discovered it today great voice. Such a fine actor, your nose is going to grow rest in peace Johnny I watch you since you were a little boy on the rifle men

This is one of the most beautiful songs out there Amazing!

I have this one memorized:) Johnny Crawford sang the best! Wish I could sing as good as him:/

RIP. March 26, 1946 - April 29, 2021.

Probably the only hit record/hit song from the Top 40 era of rock and roll that had the nerve to include the words "the boogeyman will get you" in the lyrics of any song ever written.

Glad to hear and see him again!!!!!!!! Thanks for this post!!!!

the boogie man will get you and your nose is gonna grow, OH! great song, takes me back to wonderful times.

Gone but he's still on my juke.

i dont know whyyy but i just love this song♡...

Thanks for a great memory!

OMG.... 💞💋💓🍀😇😎. I Soo remember this Song... Tapping on My nose!

I still enjoy his songs even after all these years!

This is such a cute song.

Johnny is a real sweetheart

great song..he has a wonderful voice..thx

Isn't this top drawer bubblegum from the early 60s? Wonderfully melodic, from a kid with an instinct for singing. True joy for it, making his young voice an instrument. Johnny went on to a career in music, and there's no mystery there.

LOVE YOUR NOSE IS GONNA GROW. LOVE THIS SONG .

Loved everything he was in

like this song......like the background music

Awesome,way to go Johnny.

Love u forever johnnny ❤️❤️❤️

Such a tenderness sweet voice.

I carry your books ..... I give you looks that say ... I love you !! I send you flowers .... Spend my hours thinking of you But I saw you late - last - night You were holding another - boy - tight Go ahead .... explain !! But remember .... if you lie !! The boogie man'll get you And your nose is gonna grow .... So remember .... if you lie !! Everyone will know Remember - if you lie Your nose is gonna grow !! And everyone will know You're holding my hand !! Making plans to spend - together Promising me .... that our Love will be forever !! If everything you say -is true - Who's the boy I saw - with you !! Go ahead .... explain !! But remember - if you lie The boogie man'll get you !! And your nose is gonna grow .... So remember .... if you lie Everyone will know .... The boogie man'll get you !! Your nose is gonna grow The boogie man'll get you...

Unfortunately, I did... I used to love this song. I can still remember most of the words. I LOVE JOHNNY !!

Great song.

Oh to be a teenage girl in 1962!

this is music sung at it's best. full orchestra, horns, violins, don't stop .

i always loved this song -what a great oldie -i think its awesome

Angel in the flesh 😇

My kind of music!

I like songs from the 50’s and 60!s because the instrumental is as beautiful as the vocal! Often orchestral sounds. And the words are so clear! Which is more than I can say for most songs of today. For most of today’s songs I don’t call them songs, rather, noisy trash. There’s a general lack of beautiful melodies and there is too much screaming, like they are trying to show off their vocal power more than singing! You see that a lot on American Idols, America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor! Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston are examples of screamers! Susan Boyle, Adele and Bruno Mars are some of the rare good ones of today.

De casualidad he encontrado esta musica y es muy hermosa, ya lo he bajado a mi celular, gracias.

I miss pre British invasion music. Things for American acts other than Motown and Beach Boys got knocked off the charts.

RIP Johnny

Would really like to meet him one day... I liked his later songs too... That he did when he was older.

Thanks for this, one of those elusive ones been trying to track down.Excellent. And he can sing.

I loved Johnny Crawford aka Mark McCain......funny, he reminds me so much of my first husband.

Well, it must of been before my time, but my earliest recollections was of him on The Rifle Man. this is the first time I'm hearing this song, and its pretty cute.

I remember singing this song all the time when I was in grade 10,

Great song

I remember when this came out before it was a hit. He sang this at the Hillside Mall in Illinois. He was pretending to lassos girls and was close to getting my girlfriend and he just missed stepping

J.C. I love you ! Watching 'The Rifleman ' on ME TV......... FREE TV !

File this under "Perfect Pop"!

it reminds me of a time when everything in life was going right. almost seems like a fairy tale now

I was listening to this song right now and it got me wondering, all my exxx's had long noses. I had one Babe who had a nose you could have planted a nest on it. You know something, she did own a Parakeet!

Love the strings and the full orchestra, which seems at odds with lyrics like "the bogeyman will get you".

A time that is over. Now its crime and hate etc.

The late Johnny Crawford played Mark Mc Cain on TV's "The Rifleman"-He was a pretty decent singer,as well.

R.I.P

I remember that song.

My God I Absolutely love music from those days. Lol and today we garbage pop and rap

Rest in peace said he passed away pretty much penniless

beautiful

Such a talented young man--makes you wonder why minor talents like Justin Bieber are so popular today (well, in his case, not so popular anymore, which is a good thing perhaps).

How sweet.
