Yes you are correct on the second assessment.Frankie was 15 not 50.She was 12.The video may have encourged the misinterpretation because of the elderly postman who may or may not been responsible for Frankie never getting the postcard that was sent by - well one of the sisters..the words are "You were fifteen I was twelve it was summer we were so in love. I never loved any one this much look at me I'm thrilled to your touch."...I knew the words so well...and now i take the a vow of silence....

This song was sleeper back then but I loved it. I brough tit with me going into combat. So thanks for the smiles where there weren't any. Get home safe my brothers in arms. God Bless Sister Sledge and My beloved Marine Corps. I love you both....
