My husband and I used to dance to this song , he is in heaven waiting on me so we can dance together again

So beautiful...this is my story about this song... My dad was a jazz pianist performing and making 3 LP's in the late 50's / 60's. At the age of 15 I became a drummer for him traveling to various shows around South Africa. At the age of 16 I herd him playing it on the piano exactly as the mystro (Floyd Cramer) sounded, I just fell in love with that tune immediately. At the age of 18 was drafted into the army. The hour before my departure to board the train, I pulled my dad aside and asked him to just sit at his piano and play me "The Last Date" before I left. Which he did and we hugged and said our goodbyes. Needless to say that turned out to be our "Last Date". My amazingly talented father sadly passed away while I was serving in the army at the age of only 42 in 1972. So thank you for playing that song just as your grandfather did, I'm not sure where you are nowadays but just stumbling on this was so special to me...I am now almost 70, still drumming and still miss my ol pops terribly ...go well...

Jason, your grandfather would be so very proud. Great job.

Floyd Cramer's Last Date will always be my favorite!

It is so wonderful to hear your play the piano and keeping your grandfather’s music alive. This is absolutely one of my my favorite that he played. God bless you for carrying on in his footstep. I know he would have been proud of you.

He nails the sound of his grandad here well done

This was always my favorite song but I love all Floyd Kramer's music. It takes me back to good times in my life. Thank you Jason for bringing it all back. God Bless💕

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS..NO MATTER HOW IT'S PLAYED!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

This has always been one of my favorite songs,, but this rendition brought tears to my eyes,,,this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Thank-you

I can remember my mom and dad dancing to this song when I was just a little guy. I've always thought it was beautiful. ❤️

I lost my wife at the tender age of 65 in May last year and this came up on my FB page this morning and I cant get it out of my head. It reminds me of all the great times we had together over that past 16 years and and that our last date was in the hospice together where she died in my arms. My eyes are leaking while i write this. Thanks for a lovely tune.

This song was the background for a slide show at my Grandmother's funeral service. I'm wiping the tears as I listen.

The most beautiful song ever written. What a fine job! Thanks for sharing.

One of the best instrumental's ever recorded. Along with Stanger on the Shore, nothing better!!

I always loved Floyd Cramer, an Arkansas composer.

I remember when I was a little kid way back in 1968.. My great uncle would play this song on his blue piano and put me on his lap and put my hands on top of his and Play.... great great memories of yesteryear...

Your grandad would be so proud of you.

My all time favourite Floyd Cramer song. Learned to play it on the piano in my teens and loved playing it.

Just one of those songs that automatically transcends you to a better time, days gone by

❤❤❤❤..Impressives..Song..when.I"was..Young.*Now.75.years.old..

I was three when Floyd Cramer already a seasoned pianist wrote this song and played it, Now his grandson also plays it just as well as his grandfather who wrote the song!! They played this song together in another video here on KZfaq. Both were and are so talented!!!

I love this song so so much I first heard it at age 16 I am now 62 I never get tired of it I play it over and over again thank you for bringing back the good memory's God bless you❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful! Made me cry, thinking of my mother who recently passed. She opened my eyes to all types of good music, over the years.

Just Beautiful , absolutely beautiful

This lovely song takes me back to the memories of my last date with my first lover, Young-Ok in the past. She is still in my heart since 1967.

My mom could not read music, she played by ear and this was her best. She could play a lot of songs just by listening to them just once. We loved hearing her play. R.I.P my sweet mom. I love you and miss you.

Absolutely one of my favorites

I wish that this song could be made into a ringtone for my phone or anyone else's phone.

Wished i could make through one song without crying It touches me deep and tears pour

I’ve loved this song since I was a kid. Just listened to this video after seeing your granddad’s name mentioned on ‘Country Music’ show on LPB. Still love it. First time it made me cry though. My first time listening to it after losing my Mother. It was more their music at the time, I just loved this song. First time I saw a picture of your granddad as a young man also on the country music show. He was always older in anything I had seen him in. I was born in 1959. I remember his name and that song mentioned in an interview with a talented piano player who had played with many well known bands, something about playing 2 songs at the same time in that song, (I’m not a musician).

My all time favorite dance is song miss the music

Beautiful! I remember when my Dad would play this song over and over (around 1964) and I would dance to it! Such a great memory! Hope you pass on legacy to your kids!❤️

That is what I call music. Excellent.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! You do such honor to your late grandfather who was the greatest!

Very well done young man. Grandfather would be proud.

That was awesome, I love that song.👍

This song is my favourite song when i was young.

He's passing the legacy on as he has

As a proud baby boomer, I’d say Cramer was a very under-appreciated artist. This is pure classic stuff; no matter your age or your music style preference.

Phenomenal...a loving, lovely tribute.

My mom loved this song.....sweet memories.

Your Grandad lives on in you , wonderful to listen to .

Never been a more beautiful instrumental written.

Wow, no Words! Just Tears!

One of my all time favorites. Good job Jason!!

Absolutely beautiful!

I love this song very much.

As a musician, I have played this song a jillion times. It has always been one of my favorites from your granddad. Love to hear you play it.

I have loved this song and listen to it often. It touches my heart and vividly reminds me of my dearly departed. Thank you.

And let me add a further statement to my previous comment that the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra did a beautiful job of adding to Jason's super rendition of his Grand Dad's favorite legacy tune. Thank you Jason and LGSO. I never get tired of hearing this fantastic piano musical piece !

Such a sad song, but so beautiful. Kudos to Jason for that beautiful rendition of his grandfathers famous instrumental. One of my all time favorites!!!

Thank you, tears rolling as I write...

This is absolutely my Favorite

In a word, BEAUTIFUL! I fell in love with Floyd Cramer's music with the first song of his I ever heard, Last Date. That was in 1960 when it was released, Since then I've been buying his records and never cease to be amazed at his pure, raw talent. Keep up your grandfather's fantastic work.

WOW, thank you Jason for such beautiful and inspiring piano music. Your Grand Dad would be so very proud. I grew up listening to your Grand Dads music [I'll be 82 in 3 weeks]. His music got me through some tougher than normal military times [early 60's] and for that alone I will be forever grateful to Floyd Cramer. Thank you Jason for keeping up your Grand Dads impeccable and memorable legacy !

Music that stands the test of time ❤

Now that’s music. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
