Not to be confused with the song of the same title made popular by The Beatles ten years later. Written in 1934 by Gordon Jenkins with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, this song did not become a huge hit until nearly twenty years later when it was revived by the American pop singing group The Hilltoppers. Although it is categorized as "Traditional pop" it was actually an early form of Doo Wop, a term coined in 1951 (also the year disk jockey Alan Freed began using the term "Rock and Roll" in his radio show). It soared to #4 on Billboard and #5 on Cash Box on September 5, 1953. Many 1950's American teenage and very young adult couples chose this Hilltoppers' ballad as "our song" ... among them my parents. It continued to be "their song" while was my dad was stationed in North Korea during the immediate ceasefire period of 1953-54. My mother was pregnant with me and my father never even saw me for the first time until his tour of duty was over. So this was a major hit also for war brides and war wives during the Korean War. The group was formed in Kentucky, Bowling Green, but the lead singer, Jimmy Sacca, was from Lockport. NY, where I was born. My mother, who died two years ago on September 2, knew Jimmy Sacca, they went to high school together. He was our own local star who became a national celebrity. I generally like hiding behind my internet anonymity, Monroe of course is a pseudonym, but the song has a lot of meaning to me and later, when I would do my own oldies show at the bar I worked at in the late 1970's and 1980's, this was one I often featured. Times had changed a lot in the thirty years since the recording had been made, but most people around the year 1979 and 1980 still remembered this hit, or had heard it later, as well as much of the music of the 50's and 60's, and many knew who the lead vocalist, Jimmy Sacca, was who would go on to major stardom because of it. Despite the seemingly happy and carefree nature of the music and lyrics, the song itself is terribly sad and has a couple meanings. One of them is about a couple who is separated and a husband or boyfriend who writes these love letters to his girl or wife knowing full well that the woman he is writing these to will probably never read them ... but he writes them anyway. And goes on writing them. It has also been interpreted as an example of "love at a distance": a man writing to a woman he loves where there is no chance in hell of her reading them either or there ever being a relationship, maybe she is too famous or maybe it is something else, thus the more cautious P.S. rather than an all-out declaration of his feelings. Marilyn Monroe starred in the film Niagara the summer of the same year "P.S. I Love You" was released. It was her first major dramatic role in a movie. Yes, that year a goddess walked among us for the time it took to make Niagara, which was filmed on location on both sides of Niagara Falls, the US and Canadian. The spectacular "Cave of the Winds" footage was among the scenes filmed on the American side. The other movie used in this video was made a few years earlier in 1948, Ladies of the Chorus. That one was reasonably close in time to the Hilltoppers' smash hit single originally recorded in January 1953. I have always associated her film role with this song, despite there being no connection, because they were both major local events and happenings that became national and even international events during the same year, 1953.
