"Come Softly to Me" is a #popular #song recorded by #TheFleetwoods, composed of Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, and Gary Troxel, who also wrote it. The original title was "Come Softly", but was changed en route to its becoming a hit. Bob Reisdorf, the owner of Dolphin Records, which in 1960 changed to Dolton Records, was responsible for the title change. He thought that "Come Softly" might be too obvious and considered risqué.

The first pop song that really grabbed my attention at the age of six, and undoubtedly why my hair was so long in my younger days.
