My Mom loved this song. It was a big part of my youth. When I hear this song, I'm back in the kitchen hearing my Mom sing to it on the radio. She passed away in 79. I'm now 59 years old and turn to 10 yrs old when I hear this song !!

this song speaks to everyone who's ever been in love I love it so much I think about my husband who is in heaven with my God now and I can't help but think of all the beautiful memories it represents thank you so very much I love this song

My grandmother would play this for me as a child. I love it still today 2/15/2021.

One of the most expressive male voices in pop music history.

Rest in Peace 'til i see you again Dad❤ I love you forever

It's 2024. For some reason, this song just ran across my mind. It takes me back to my younger days in the summer.

Legend of the soul, O. C. Smith, great great singer❤️

Was introduced to OC Smith by my late brother in law - in the 1970 and eventually bought 2 of OC's vinyl's - what a voice😊❤

One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs ever!!!!!! Just GORGEOUS!!!!!

What a beautiful song…And Smith’s style just superb!

This song reminds me of my Mom. May she rest in heaven!!!

Oc Smith is a legendary singer

I'm so thankful to have this videos of OC Smith little green apples. And was so happy to see that he was put into North Carolina's Hall of Fame of music. Hallelujah

What a song takes me back to my youth, when I didn't have to worry about all this chaos in the world

I love this song but only by him I could listen to it all day

I loved this man xxxxx His beautiful voice and lyrics will live on forever. I remember slow dancing with my big Daddy to O.C. Smith and other real soul singers xxxxxx What sweet memories xxxxxxx They don't make music like this anymore. Touches your soul.

Superb performance awesome just awesome!!!! So thankful I just found him what a singer!

Great Song, reminds me of a better time in life with my family. Love you all no matter what, mom/dad/Evelyn/Brit/Jackie/Jake.

This song takes me back to my childhood in the 70s. (And I mean the happy parts, not the bicycle wrecks, broken bones, Pop whooping my ass, etc.)

This song brings a tear to my eye. Brings back many memories.

If that's not loving me, than all I've got too Say... Man, music in my day's came with something called Class. What a moment in time, Dec. 26th 2019 for this ole smooth song to come across my screen.

O.C. Smith was my father. I was born blind, and now as grown man, I feel I am giving back to my father for what he shared and did for me. I just remastered this song and hopefully soon, we'll release it. You can also find a lot about me and what I am doing. I want to share a 1,000,000 acts of kindness. It's called the Little Green Apples Project. Even though I am blind, I am learning how to pitch a baseball, so I can pitch a ball in every minor and major league baseball field. Here's a video of my first day of a full wind up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g6eebJB6q6fYkXU.html

I loveee this song! Wow, he could sing!

What an awesome voice! Love this song too.

O.C. Smith xxxx Legendary talent. Loved him.

Best rhyme in a song... EVER! "God didn't make little green APPLES, and it don't rain in INDIANAPLOIS... It even won the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1969.

It was composed by my high school classmate and friend Bobby Russell. He also wrote Honey. May he rest in peace. I hope to meet him again if it be the will of God.

What a performance from the Soul legend, O.C.Smith.Thanks for sharing this rare video.

this is the best performance of this beautiful song that I ever heard

This was a big hit back in '68. I remember my mom buying the 45 to this. Loved it ever since.

Love this song from back in the day, nothing better then old school.

What an special atmosphere. What a perfect performance. I wish i had been there

reminds me of my army basic training days back in 1968....great song

Listend to this today at a friends dad's funeral - so heartfelt and it spoke of the fathers love for their mother - just beautiful

I Love our pioneers. Thank you God for opening my eyes.

The Seventies, entertainment, musicianship and a song that shaped my life.

Absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for posting this video

What a version of a great song.just brilliant.

O.C and his family lived Village Square Little Rock Arkansas. I still DJ this in Summer 2020

Beautiful version! 💛🌻

such a down to earth happy warm song

Memories of wonderful days long gone.

Funny story about this song, growing as a kid my daddy would play this type of music. And when he and my mom separated, I remember him leaving with his stereo on the back of his nova car, saying to me don't cry. Daddy will be back .L.O.L I remember this song and I remind him of that day and he felt so shameful. It wasn't about hurting him, all I want to say: God didn't make little green apples in the summer time.

I played in the Floor Shows of O.C.Smith, as a Drummer. We were an International 11 Man Band. All, very good Musicians on Stage. The Shows were all sold out. O.C. Smith was very popular and had many Female Fans. Many Artists play his Hit "Little Green Apples" in their Repertoire. He was a fantastic Entertainer and a great Soul and R & B Singer. His Voice was velvet soft and deep. For me,he had the same Voice like Lou Rawls. It was an Exciting Time for me, as a young Drummer. P.C.

Reminds me of my childhood when things were so simple and innocent. My dad would play this song all the time.

we all got along so much better in the 70s,go am radio.

We will always love you. Thank you for your contribution to making our world a more beautiful place...I hope to meet you one day in heaven.

i love this song when did it come out , remember this song as a kid in the 70's

luv this song from cape town south africa thankx to mr clarence ford

this live rendition is so much better than the too cute one that was a hit. And I really liked that on his! His voice here is fuller, it glows.

Of all the great singers who sang this...even the great Old Blue eyes didn't give it such impact as the Legendary OC. Smith.

WHAT A VOICE.GREW UP LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC.MY FATHER LOVED HIS MUSIC :))

this was one of my favourite songs when I began singing...... Love it

I love this song,it was in my head just now.🌷🌷🌷

Love the line. Smiles when she first sees me. Cause she's made that way.❤ Damn he's smooth!

He was COOL! Good song!

P.s. How ironic. I wake up today and thought about this song. Again haven’t heard it since i was a kid. And the ironic part is that my father’s name is also Robert Smith just like your name. God bless you. This must be a “God’s Wink” for both of us.

What a great song - belongs to my "soundtrack of live"!!!

Amen, Brother. Keep doing what you're doing!

What a voice. Amazing how music was so beatiful

So many memories of the love of my life. it will always be our song. We let each other go 40 years ago. still in love🌹🌹🌹

I remember the song from him on wax 1968 RIP O. C.

I remember this when I was a kid/ talking about love !

Natural singer, great vibe.

My dad would play this over and over and over and over. I know every word. Him and my mom were so in love! I thought about him this morning and thought about this song. Had to play it this morning. Haven’t heard this in quite a few years not since I was a kid. These are the songs that really made history in the hearts of people. Sweet memories… this song is golden. I close my eyes and am in my childhood home.

beautiful record ,great voice !

What a treat. Thanks for this, just perfect.

One of my favorites

Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones and others all got good covers of this song but no one reaches the original in any way.

Love this live version😎

I love this song and have the original 45. This live version is also wonderful. I have fond memories of music from the late 60's and early 70's. Thank your for posting this.

YEP SURE DOES BRING BACK MEMORIES OF YOUTH ????

True Legend!!

This is the first song a remember liking I must have been 3 or 4 when I first heard it

Remembering Ocie Lee "O. C". Smith (June 21, 1932 - November 23, 2001) (06/21)2021)

REMEMBERING OCIE "O. C." SMITH (June 21, 1932 - November 23, 2001) [06/21/2023]

I love this video

Classic. NGO...Never Gets Old. thanks for the upload. Blessings

+Robert F. Smith I love your father's voice! I listen his songs since I was a kid. I can't find, on KZfaq, his version of "For the good times", which is perfect in his voice. If you find it, please share with us. May God bless his beautiful soul!

Beautiful !!

❤ the best song It's a loving song

If you don’t like this song you ain’t got a soul!

7/9/2024. Grandmother did feed me "little green apples". Tart but they were tasty. 1960 to 1971 era!

When I heard this song on the music channel, I recorded it to play for my father, silly me all I had to do was Google it. But anyway when I played it for him, he immediately said that's O.C.Smith. That's one of my favorite songs. L.O.L

great song the year was 1969 little green apples

Quien no suspiro con esta canción tan hermosa. Fue pastor y fallecio en 2001. talentoso caballero

Great song. This one and Sinatra's version are my 2 favs.

Love!

i remember seeing o.c. smith play this and many other songs when i was stationed at the missile base (malmstrom air force base) in great falls, montana back in 1972 at the recreation center, being so far from texas, this brought me much comfort back then.

What happened to us, A Beautiful Love Song💛

To understand someone is true love ❤ i get it i understand you we are here for a time lets make it real

#blackexcellence to the Maximum. They don't make these voices anymore. 😉 Rest in power Mr. Smith.

I just found this singer - literally just now. He was singing the theme song to "The Leaning Tree". Cannot find it on a CD by this singer, but what an expressive singer. I will be on Amazon tonight and get an album by him. Sad it took me so many years to find him.
