Dad's First Reaction to Anthony Hamilton - "Charlene" 

My dad had no idea I was going to put his Stevie Wonder bit in the video! Haha, hope you guys enjoyed this one - Kai

Yo the kid is killing it with the selections!!! Like, who Mississippi uncle you been hanging around to know all this soul music?! 😭😭 I got 2 plates for both of y'all at the cookout!! 👌🏾👌🏾

You HAVE to play a song for your Dad called "Love" by Musiq Soulchild (Neo Soul). A very very beautiful song of him talking to Love. And Musiq's range in this song is unbelievable!!

Anthony Hamilton's voice really embodies the "Blues" in R & B. You don't get that as much since the late 50s in R&B, he sounds old and contemporary all at once.

Dolly Parton’s song was “Jolene” …love both tracks!

The kick drum is like the clock ticking as he’s waiting on Charlene to “…come on home…”🤎

Should review some Maxwell the king of Neosoul. His music and voice is majestic. His cover of “This Woman’s Work” is beautiful. “Fortunate”, “Lifetime”, “Whenever Wherever Whatever” are good songs just to name a few. “Ascension” is another one gives me an old school feel that maybe dad will like especially the instruments used in that song.

India Arie - Ready For Love is a must! The lyrics are incredible, her vocals are unbelievable and the instrumentation is haunting yet beautiful.

This song was all over the radio after my Aunt Charlene passed. It was almost a decade before i could play this without crying. Now i smile bc it feels like her saying hello❤️

Please do a reaction to Anthony Hamilton Point of it all. The harmonies gives me chills everytime. I think your dad would love it!

Your dad singing in the beginning...PRICELESS!!!

Definitely did not see this one coming. I love this kid creativity.

Woke up this morning Found a letter that she wrote She said she's tired that I'm always on the road Too hard to swallow, being alone She needs someone at night that she can hold 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Anthony Hamilton sings like an Angel 👼🏿

I would love to see a review of “Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Tonè! They dominated 90s RnB and I think your dad would love the instrumentation. Plus the lead singer Raphael Sadiq is still active behind the scenes in the tv and music industry today.

“I’m a Mess” which immediately follows “Charlene” on this album. Please, you and dad give it a listen. So good.

Anthony Hamilton's "Pass Me Over" gave me the full blown experience of the Holy Spirit. 😭 I cried so hard listening to it that I legit felt my soul get cleansed! 🤧

Coming From Where I'm From by Anthony Hamilton is worth listening to from beginning to end. Like, Lauryn Hill, it is a timeless classic. Thanks for show casing Anthony Hamilton.

It would be 🔥 if you guys switched roles one time, have pops introduce you to soul music from the 70s or 80s and you decipher 😂 I remember he referenced Roberta flack one time and I was like ok the old man might know some things lol

Dad fully understood this song and the vibe it gives. 👍 pops

I think it would be great if you react to Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman’s Work” as your dad is probably familiar with Kate Bush’s version. I think he would love it!

This song hits on so many different levels man. This is grown folks music.

Ur dad is the coolest dad EVER! Very down to earth, energetic, open minded and willing to learn. Freaking love it! ❤️ 😘

this song always reminds me of where I want to be by Donell Jones. doesn't have the same tonality but thematically it plays to a similar tone. but where Anthony comes from this place of remorse and regret. Donnell plays to the tone of making that partner a priority. even though he's the one choosing to walk away. because he'd rather leave than choose to cheat or neglect said, partner. I'd like to think that it lends itself to the perspective of someone who'd be in Charlene's position. though both songs come to a split in their relationships it's doing so from a different perspective it still finds a middle ground on that music spectrum.

Ur dad is going to get chills. This young man's voice with an "old man" sound is truly rich and beautiful!

His voice is equally gospel, country and soul. Love him so much!

Your dad just "gets" music. You both do. But that singing in the beginning just tickled me. Keep doing what your doing.

Anthony Hamilton speaks to my soul..Thank you for Listening!

Jolene is Dolly Parton's song. Lil Nas X does a really nice cover of it. I hope you'll introduce your dad to Jill Scott. "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)" is probably my favorite song by her and she kills it in live performances.

When you wanted an R and B hook from someone in the 2000's, you go to Anthony Hamilton (or Nate Dogg, RIP). I always loved his soulfulness and just how amazing of a singer he was.

I still get goosebumps every time I listen to this song, one of my faves of all-time. Anthony Hamilton’s voice is absolutely unbelievable.

5:41 always hits so deeply, Anthony Hamilton is still such an under-rated artist

I first heard Anthony Hamilton as a backup singer for Jonny Lang in a song called "Red Light". I absolutely fell in love with his voice. I heard him again backing up D'Angelo (an artist you NEED to introduce your dad to!). It was great that he got his own album deal because his voice is magical and calming

Love, love love! Glad you reacted to Antho y Hamilton! Neo-soul is my favorite Genre. I think your Dad would appreciate Maxwell, Jil Scott, and India Arie to name a few.

One of the most unique voices in r&b ever, you guys should react to the title track from this record

I just gasped so hard for air! 😂 I'm so excited!

Your dad is sooo awesome. I’m a grown man and I just lust my dad about two weeks ago. I had a… Hmmm… Different relationship with my pops I guess. Eventhough I loved him more then he would ever know. What I’m trying to say is - if I could do anything different right now, I would do, what you are doing right now. I hope you are aware of it - your dad loves you sooo much and you make him so proud. Keep up the content. You are touching alot of people. ✊☺️💙

This man’s voice is just UGHHHH. One of modern R&Bs most uniquely textured voices. 💙💙

Yeah, such a voice huh? It's rare I hear anything on the radio and am like "what was that???" and have to visit the stations website to check their playlist. Anthony Hamilton's "Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens" got me like that last :) This one is beautiful too. Dad, your high-note made me smile, thanks for leaving that pure joy in the video :)

l love how comfortable you both are with each other on camera, the eye contact, the discussions, everything. You can tell this is exactly how your relationship is off camera as well. And love Anthony Hamilton. Was introduced to him at about 7 or 8. He's always been first on the list of who I would want to sing at my wedding.

Saw Anthony in concert with Maxwell and Joe back in March! It was a FANTASTIC show! Maxwell is my favorite male R&B/Neo Soul artist. Anthony's voice is like a bowl of hot buttered grits, I love it. Do some Maxwell next!

He started singing in church, then he branched out! Anthony has also done back up for several artist and he’s a writer for soul and gospel.

Hi, dad sounds good☺️, Anthony is a great singer, showing the video to the music helps tells the story😉 too

I lost my father this year. Just watching you guys I can feel the love. Makes me miss my pops even more

We’re getting closer to my NEED for them to listen to “Voodoo” by D’Angelo. Anthony Hamilton sang backup on the Voodoo tour!

We need more of dad singing! 🧡

I say this anytime anyone reviews this artist: I've been to a lot of concerts in my 49yr life. This is the best concert I've ever been to. ONE man, no filler, a complete artist. it's literal RnB gospel

You go dad!!! Sing that song!!!😁

“Coming from where I’m from” by him is also a great listen!

Everybody by Anthony Hamilton almost makes me cry. I love it some much. UK fan.

Musiq soulchild is another great soulful artist. Love is a great song 🎶

First I want to say I love this channel, the content is awesome. The relationship you and your father have a phenomenal! I would like to see more neo soul and contemporary R&B reactions and I would like for your dad to get a reaction from you on songs he like.

I actually believe that when he said "Woke up this morning, found a letter that she wrote", those words imply that he was at home after he had just finished traveling and performing on the road. My impression is that Charlene left him in the middle of the night without him knowing until he found her letter the next morning. Please 🙏 give your opinion and understanding of this part of the song. Thanks 👍🏼!!! I really love 💖 and enjoy The Front Room and both of you guys so much!!!🙋🏽🎯💯👏🏼

Dolly sang Jolene- a great song too. Anthony has some great vocals. Someone mentioned listening to Maxwell- I second this. In addition to the songs they suggested- do This Woman’s Work.

I was singing along the whole time 🤭 loved it 🥰 even the Stevie Wonder part at the beginning 😄 O! and Dolly Parton song was Jolene

Something special happens when you listen to good music. Something even more special happens when you share it with someone you love....💚🌅

Jill Scott first album.....you will love it

Anthony Hamilton's "I'm a Mess" on the same album. It highlights technique, for me.

You guys really should take a listen to the title track to this album.

This is one of my favorite songs overall. The lyrics..the instrumentation..the vocals..its flawless. Happy you guys enjoyed it!

There is a live version of Anthony and The Hamiltones singing The Point Of It All and the end they blend it into Adore by Prince! It. Is. AWESOME! Anyone reading this who hasn't heard it, should do yourself a favor and check it out!

It was Jolene by Dolly Pardon 😊Y’all should have done “Best of Me” and “Point of it All” by Anthony Hamilton.

That whole album is great to me. Since you're on this level, I'll also recommend Lyfe Jennings - Must Be Nice from his 1st album. That album is good for a whole album reaction because of how he tells a story that leads up to the next song to help you feel what he was feeling

I love the interaction between Father and Son. Reminds me of when my sister and I used to have my Dad listen to music we loved and then discuss it with him. Happy Father’s Day, early.🦋🦋🦋

✨Y’all are both invited to the cookout it’s official mane😭🙏🏽💯✨

Dad is too cute at the beginning of this video! I love the way he sings!!! ❤❤❤ Such a great spirit & soul. Please cherish your dad while he's still around! It's so great you have all these videos together!

This was my 1st Anthony Hamilton fav and it's been love ever since. He has so many awesome songs.

Your dads interpretation of the song is spot on with the music video.

Yes more Anthony “I’ll wait to Fall in Love” or any song really Anthony is amazing and don’t forget Maxwell.

This is one of my favorites by him.. It came out when I was like 12-14 and I had a friend say she hated the song.. I forever looked at her like she had no soul lol... like what?!?

"Sign sealed delivered, I'm urs" every one be in that vibe u were in in on that same part.... Beautiful, and Dogg that

OH SNAP! Ya'll tapping into the R&B bag?!! Let's goooo!

I'm shocked you chose this,but happy.

Coming from where I’m from is a must listen

Saw him in concert! His voice tears and heals your soul at the same time!

This a CERTIFIED CLASSIC!! Great choice!

Omg who made this recommendation??? I am ready!!

aw ready for this! this channel omg so glad i found it! every single song is so amazing! i swear you two have the best taste in music!

You gotta do “Best of me” by Anthony Hamilton. Oh your dad will love it! That song is my wedding song whenever I get married 😜😜😜.

Dad can sing 👏🏾 Awwwww Kai baby it’ll be ok I promise 💔 Thank you for making this channel. What a team 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So glad you guys did this song. Such a great song

Fantastic content and I look forward to hearing more from the team

Anthony Hamilton is one of the greatest R&B singers there ever was.. he's the greatest..I live abt 20 minutes from where he was raised here in N.C... and he's N.C.'s beloved son especially Charlotte N.C..great pick today

I really enjoy your indepth reviews and research into the backgrounds on the music you just experienced hearing together!! MUCH LOVE TO BOTH OF YOU !!

Anthony Hamilton is still making music his albums are very good you have to sit with them and take in the soulfulness of the them

This is such a special channel. I love the bond you and your father portray 💛🙏🏽

I met Anthony Hamilton's first cousin working at a car dealership. He said everyone in the family can sing except him😭. I ❤ your video.

I really enjoy watching these with you guys. The way you two interact and the beginning in all of them, the extra conversation is fun. You both so natural on camera. Dad is awesome. And I have said before someone once told me that "doing anything together, is doing something together"... 👊💪👍

I’ve loved this album since it came out. Instantly fell in love. Just started your video. Can’t wait to see your dads reaction and hear y’all’s discussion.

Oh my goodness! The man with the liquid gold voice box! Brilliant choice 👌

I truly enjoy watching your interaction together. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE YOUR PODCAST❣THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS TAKING MY MIND OFF OF CRAZY DAYS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA ❤

Your dad gave me so much joy at 2am with his vocals🥰 the joy and nostalgia In his eyes😊 luv it… Great song selections.

I love that y’all are reacting more to neosoul i love this song so much can’t wait to watch !

Thank You For allowing me into a moment of your lives. I find it's simply beautiful to see a father and son bonding over music. These are the memories that you'll both cherish. As a father myself it made me emotional to see this. Again Thank You.

OHHHHHH MYYYY GAWWWWD, I LOVE me some Anthony Hamilton! This was one of the very first songs I've heard from him and instantly fell in love with this song Charlene. Love his music. PLEASE REACT TO MAXWELL "FISTFUL OF TEARS"

This song is going to blow him away lol classic song

My other favorite of Anthony's is Life Has A Way. Just brilliant. Your dad's "is that shown" as he sang along to Stevie was so funny. Love you guys. Keep the reactions coming. As a black South African, I'm grateful to see this. It kinda shows the side of white people we don't see often (non-racist) and appreciative of black people's talent. I already have Celine Dion (white) as my 1st favorite artist so it's not like I'm pro-black or racist myself. So I love the balance when black people can easily love whites and their craft and vice versa. Refreshing!

Anthony Hamilton has a song called “I’m a Mess.” It’s about trying to live after a bad breakup. It’s so soulful and gut wrenching. I would love to see Dad’s reaction.

Thank you guys for reminding us and appreciating the music in times like these. ♥️♥️♥️
