• Jeff from BostonThe lyric "Glenn Miller's Band was better than before" dates that part of the song not to the early 1940s, but to the late 1940s. The lyric refers to the re-formed "Glenn Miller Orchestra" led by singer and saxophonist Tex Beneke from 1946-1950 after Miller's disappearance and presumed death in 1944, which toured all over America and drew huge crowds. Thus the band could be said to be "better than before" the war when Miller himself had headed it.
• E.r.p. from MissouriI like the song reminiscing by the little river band. It brings back memories of my husband’s and my anniversary’s and the memories that I have of me and my families outings.
  Signed,
  E.R.P.
• Paul B. from ArizonaThe song was released in 1978. And my impression was that it was about a couple who were in their teens during World War II/the 1940's.
• Deanne from Colorado"The intro is note for note the Lucy Show theme song."
  
  As one who plays this on stage from time to time, I can confirm you're wrong.
• Shane from FloridaReminiscing, by Little River Band, is one of my favorite songs. The magic happens for me at the end of the song when I hear the horn play. That horn sound makes me think back to the lyrics earlier in the song about Glen Miller & Cole Porter, and pays homage to the jazz style of those musicians from older times. It's the perfect punctuation to the song and completes the circle bridging past & present.
• Denise from TexasWhen this song came out in the 70's I totally knew it was largely based on the "I Love Lucy" theme song. Reminiscing, indeed! Love it.
• Cam from OhioFrank Sinatra hailed Reminiscing as the best 1970's song in the world.
• Creber from Washington Grove , UsaReminiscing is an absolute timeless classic. The good old days, when gay meant happy, IOP meant Invasion Of Privacy, and Crack was what if you stepped on, it would break your mother's back!
• Eli from Dallas. TexIt's classic, the more u play it the better it sounds.
• .denise from Lakewood NjMy friends and I love LRB and Reminiscing we also love everything it stands for.
• Sean from PittsburghThe intro is note for note the Lucy Show theme song.
• Heather from Los AngelesKTLA should have challenged them on the usage of their song. After all, I seriously doubt they obtained clearance permission to use Night and Day by Cole Porter. Which they do.
• Loren from Republic, MoLRB's debut came out in '75, it's third album "Diamantina Cocktail" went Gold in '77, and they hit platinum status in '78 with Sleeper Catcher (largely due to the song Reminiscing). And (as you stated above) they have sold 25 million albums.
  
  AC/DC's debut "High Voltage" was released in the states and Australia both in '75, and was 3X platinum in the U.S. alone, followed by "Dirty Deeds" in '76, 6X platinum, and "Let There Be Rock" 2x Platinum in '77 (and on and on). AC/DC has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, and over 70 million of those have been in the U.S.
  
  Heck, "Back In Black" alone sold 22 million in the USA (50 million worldwide).
• Hortensia from United StatesKen - Louisville, How would it be possible that this was one of John's favorite songs while with May Pang? The song was out in 1978, which by that time, he had already been reconciled with Yoko and they had Sean in 1975!
• Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn July 23rd 1978, "Reminiscing" by the Little River Band entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #81; and on October 22nd, 1978 it peaked at #3 (for 2 weeks) and spent 20 weeks on the Top 100...
  It reached #10 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...
  Between 1976 and 1985 the group had sixteen Top 100 records; six made the Top 10 with "Reminiscing" being their biggest hit...
  They had two records peak at #6, "Lonesome Loser" and "The Night Owls"; and their three remaining Top 10 records all peaked at #10, "Lady", "Cool Change", and "Take It Easy On Me".
• Esskayess from Dallas, TxThe song fit beautifully into the 70s, but you could tell it was about a time long past because Glenn Miller is mentioned and his untimely passing was in 1944.
• Camille from Toronto, OhYeah, something about the delivery of the song, it just flows so easily. Kind of jazzy and soft, easy to listen to.
• James from Yucaipa, CaReminiscing is my favorite song by LRB. I remember when i first heard it in 1978. Beautiful song! "Friday night it was late i was walking you home we got down to the gate & i was dreaming of the night". The movie trailer "The other guys" plays this song & it just brought back memories. 8/4/10
• Claire from Miller's, MdThis is my favorite Little River Band song.
• Ken from Louisville, KyMay Pang wrote in her book about her ongoing affair with John Lennon that this was one of his favorite songs. He said it reminded him of their relationship since they both loved rock 'n roll oldies and would often sing along with them at home.
