You've actually reacted to Glenn Frey before without realising. He's was one of the founding members, co-lead singer and frontman for the Eagles. Beverley Hills Cop is one of Eddie Murphy's best movies. Really brought his humour to a wider audience outside of TV/stand up (48 Hours, his breakout movie which came out in '82, is also well worth watching). Beverley Hills Cop has an awesome soundtrack. Rob, re Arnold, maybe you're thinking about Kindergarten Cop?
@@eurofritz4617 They really need to research the background of the song, and the singer. They seem to not know much about a lot of stuff. Almost embarrassing. Researching before the reaction to get perspective does not ruin the reaction. Beverly Hills Cop was a monster movie and and not not knowing that is bad. They problem is they do not know about will known facts. I have seen other reactors who really research the song when reacting to it which enhances the reaction and keeps them from saying really stupid things.
They'll never read this. They'll never know the Eagle connection, unless they stumble upon it by accident. They actually don't care about our music. This is a fake act.
@@sherylhenley1931 right??😆 I wasn't expecting to read a comment like that on this channel. I agree with you, these channels are getting the younger people into music from our past & I'm diggin it! Jay & Amber are the ones I watch the most. 💕
Beverly Hills Cop also had the Pointers Sisters song, "Neutron Dance"--which would be a nice Female Friday selection. The sequel in 1987 had Bob Seger's "Shakedown" as the main song on its soundtrack--which means that it would be another great song to react to soon.
Not only is Smuggler's Blues a great song, but it also gives a glimpse into the booming drug scene of the 80s. You can't go wrong with Glenn Frey. He was a pretty good actor too.
As many have said Glenn was a founding member and lead vocalist of The Eagles..RIP 🙏🏼 can you please react to “New Kid In Town” by The Eagles, it’s one my favorites and it’s vocally led by Glenn.
Awesome suggestion. They could do the entire Hotel California record and it would be great. You're probably already aware of this, but for the sake of those less familiar with RU-vid, the Eagles and copyright strikes against reaction channels, I'll go ahead and elaborate. The big problem with reaction channels doing Eagles songs is that they are notorious for causing channels to have copyright "strikes" issued against them. If a channel gets "three strikes" against them it's taken down by RU-vid. As such, extreme caution is recommended with Eagles songs. I seriously don't understand it. It makes no sense to me that these artists don't want people to hear their music. If there is so much concern about other people making money off of playing their records, why do they allow them to be played on the radio? Radio stations don't pay money to record labels in order to play records. In fact record labels send radio stations free copies of the records so that they will play them. Or at least they used to. Sice there are still hundreds of AM & FM stations playing new, contemporary music I'd be surprised if it's not still common practice. So it makes no sense to me that just because now it's RU-vid the record labels don't want anybody playing their songs, introducing an entirely new generation to their music.
You saw Glenn Frey playing the acoustic guitar in the “Hotel California” video. He was a member of Eagles, one of the best bands in history. Before forming Eagles, he and Don Henley and Bernie Leadon were Linda Ronstadt’s backup band. Please react to more of Linda’s amazing forty year catalogue. Maybe on Female Friday? 🌺✌️
The Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack was great. Other notables songs from it are Neutron Dance by The Pointer Sisters, and Stir It Up and New Attitude by Patti LaBelle. You definitely should watch this movie. Here's hoping you never fall for a banana in the tailpipe.
Glenn Fry...what a great career...from playing backup for Linda Ronstandt.... to living below Jackson Browne's apartment and learning to write music by listening to him....to being one of the core members in The Eagles....with a signature voice and great song catalogue... gone much too soon!
Yep' it's 80's. Released in 1984. he had a bunch of good songs in his solo career away from the Eagles. You Belong to the City and Smugglers Blues are a couple more. Glenn passed away in 2016 at 67.
Both good songs. “You Belong to the City” is a song The Rob Squad would absolutely love…. I’d rank it alongside Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street (which they already reacted to)
For some reason, I just have a hard time accepting that he's dead. It doesn't seem possible - I mean, look how young he was in that video, and that was only a couple minutes ago...
Around this time Huey Lewis and the news, were singing about "the Heart of Rock and Roll." If you haven't seen the first movie "Footloose," with Kevin Bacon, you have missed out on a lot of danceable music, so far. My mum had 8 kids, she kept the radio on constantly, so there was always some kind of sound happening. Thus, when the older kids got back from school and the noise levels went up, the younger kids were not shocked awake and crying. It may work for you?
Back in the 80’s there was this cool cop show called Miami Vice it was soooo cool that it even had its own sound track album the first and only tv series to have that! Glen Fry’s Smugglers Blues was on there .
Glenn, as I'm sure others will tell you, was a guitarist and vocalist for The Eagles. Beverly Hills Cop (and its two sequels) were 80s movies starring Eddie Murphy. The first one is a CLASSIC. You should definitely watch it. It is a crime drama, so there are some serious moments, but Eddie brings his comedic style for plenty of classic lines and scenes. (Arnold was in "Kindergarten Cop", another great one.) He also had a song called "Smuggler's Blues" which was featured in a Miami Vice episode that HE GUEST-STARRED in. He also did "You Belong To the City" for the Miami Vice soundtrack. (FYI - Phil Collins was also in an episode of that show.) His other biggest hits were "The One You Love", "True Love", and "Sexy GIrl." Sadly, Glenn passed away in 2016 (five years ago almost to the day) from pneumonia. But his legacy will live on forever. The BHC soundtrack had a few other bangers - "Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters; "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up" by Patti LaBelle; and "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer (great instrumental).
This is one of the founding members of the Eagles. But you’re actually right in saying Miami Vice. Frey did “Smuggler’s Blues” for that. Which is also a fantastic song. It tells a really great story.
Smugglers Blues is another banger from Glenn Freys solo stuff. He was also one of the founding members of a little band you may have heard of. The Eagles. You should definitely put the Beverly Hills Cop movies on your must watch list.
Glenn definitely had other bangers in the 80's, particularly "Partytown", "The Allnighter", and "Livin'Right". And JFTR, Glenn even guest-starred in an episode of 'Miami Vice', one named for a song he wrote... "Smuggler's Blues"! But his slower, more soulful tunes also will not be denied, particularly "The One You Love", "Soul Searchin'", and my favorite song EVER, also written for MV... "You Belong To The City".
Okay, now you need to do a reaction to "Smuggler's Blues" also by Glenn Frey. They actually used it in an episode of the previously mentioned TV series "Miami Vice". Glenn is the special guest star.
Glenn Frey, From the Eagles. This is some of his solo stuff. This was the opening song for Beverly Hills Cop (Comedy), Eddie Murphy. Talk about being taken back in time. Oh course you think of Miami Vice because Glenn Frey also wrote songs used in Miami Vice and made guest appearances on it also. "Smugglers Blues" is another great song of his from this time. RIP Glenn Frey. Another movie to add into your need to review if you had 48 more hours a day. LOL You do more before 7 am then most do in an entire day. Thanks for todays, First of 3 Smiles.
So back in the 80s the way the music videos worked, that are FEATURED in a movie (it was a way to promote the movie) was to show small half second clips from the movie while the singer lip-synched through the video. It was a BRILLIANT marketing campaign and it really got you pumped about the movie. YOU had this beautiful and excited moment when you HEARD the song in the movie while you are watching it. So sad they stopped doing that. It is one of the reasons that movies do not make as much money anymore. But no one wants to talk about those issues:)
Glenn Lewis Frey (/fraɪ/; November 6, 1948 - January 18, 2016) was an American singer, songwriter, actor and founding member of the rock band Eagles. Frey was the co-lead singer and frontman for the Eagles, roles he came to share with fellow member Don Henley, with whom he wrote most of the Eagles' material. Frey played guitar and keyboards as well as singing lead vocals on songs such as "Take It Easy", "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "Tequila Sunrise", "Already Gone", "James Dean", "Lyin' Eyes", "New Kid in Town", and "Heartache Tonight". During the hiatus of the Eagles from 1980 to 1994, Frey embarked on a successful solo career. He released his debut album, No Fun Aloud, in 1982 and went on to record Top 40 hits "The One You Love", "Smuggler's Blues", "Sexy Girl", "The Heat Is On", "You Belong to the City", "True Love", "Soul Searchin'" and "Livin' Right". As a member of the Eagles, Frey won six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards. The Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the first year they were nominated. Consolidating his solo recordings and those with the Eagles, Frey had 24 Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
Glenn was a lead on the Eagles with Don Henley. They went on to have successful solo careers while maintaining their group status with the Eagles. Glenn passed away recently to a surprise to all of his fans. Don sang a song with Stevie Nicks called “Leather and Lace”. Icon status, in the R&R Hall of Fame and back up originally to Linda Ronstadt. Cannot go wrong with any of the Eagles. Joe Walsh in the Eagles was part of the James Gang you have reacted to before. All connected to advancing rock in the 70’s and 80’s.
other Glenn Frey songs: "part of me, part of you" (soundtrack from "thelma and louise")..."sexy girl"..."i did it for your love"..."the one you love"...and my favorite Frey song "lover's moon"
Once again, guys: Glenn Frey was a founding member of The Eagles (Hotel California) you've done Glenn SEVERAL times now! 😊 🌟He pops up and around like Joe Walsh!
This song never fails to conjure a memory. When it came out, I was living in a crappy, drafty old mobile. It had heat registers/vents in the floor, and my favorite winter spot was on a vent with a big shirt or a blanket to collect the heat. One night, I was sitting there, and MTV was on...this song came on at the same time as the furnace. IT. WAS. AWESOME.
This was on the soundtrack for Beverly Hills Cop, which was a big hit movie for Eddie Murphy. There are 3 Beverly Hills Cop movies, this was from the first. Glen Frey was a member of the Eagles, went solo, then rejoined the band. At one point they all said they'd get back together when hell froze, and then years later went on tour and called the show, Hell Freezes Over!
Glenn Frey not only had this song as part of the Miami Vice soundtrack, but he also did his first acting gig on the series... > "Glenn Lewis Frey (November 6, 1948-January 18, 2016) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He made his acting debut as Jimmy Cole, who provides transport for smugglers (and loves his guitar) in the episode "Smuggler's Blues" of the series Miami Vice."😁👍
During the 80's the Eagles took a break and the three main members, Glen Fry, Joe Walsh and Don Henley did their own thing with solo careers. You touched Joe Walsh in the James Gang and on his own. You should listen to Don Henley with Boys of Summer.
Absolutely. Henley had awesome solo work, especially 'End of the Innocence', 'Dirty Laundry', and 'Boys of Summer'. (His country/ bluegrass album 'Cass County' is really good, too.)
Glen Frey was one of the founding members of the Eagles. He sadly passed away in 2016, but his son Deacon, now sings with the remaining Eagle band members and he sounds just as good as his dad! Check out more Glen Frey songs: You Belong To The City and Smuggler's Blues. He had a small part on the Miami Vice tv series in the 80s as I date myself. Blast from the past.
GF took some heat for having so much "movie music" & "tv tunes" in his background. His reply of "if I wasn't good at it I wouldn't do it" shut up the haters. His work in the Eagles speaks for itself...
Amber, as a few other people have mentioned, you would absolutely love "The One You Love". It is a beautiful slow song with gorgeous saxophone intro and solo. But I have to caution, there is a cover version out on youtube that fooled one other reactor that was unfamiliar with Glenn's songs. The genuine Glenn Frey video has Glenn standing, in a white suit with a red tie, holding a guitar, next to a sign that says "No Fun Aloud" (which was the title of his first solo album).
The movie "Beverly Hills Cop" is super fun, you'll love it! This soundtrack is awesome, Neutron Dance, Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer, New Attitude, Stir It Up. Glenn Frey is from the Eagles and that's a rabbit hole you definitely want to go down
A solo Glen Frey classic that needs to be checked out is Smuggler's Blues which was used in Miami Vice. Miami Vice had an episode called Smuggler's Blues in which Glen Frey was a guest star.
"The One You Love" is an absolute MASTERPIECE of an Amber type song!!! You'll love his mellow vocal, and the amazing sax!!! That one should definitely be next from Glenn Frey. 😊 Here is the video with the greatest audio quality: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_z-I8OpCnv4.html
I jumped on this as soon as I saw it in my feed this morning and smiled the whole way through. I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel. I'm have a great time watching you discover some of my favorite music and thanks for giving me the opportunity to rediscover it myself. Smuggler's Blues would be a great follow up.
I love your channel. You’re so real and really interested in learning. And you fill my heart with you kind words. Rock on and keep on doing exactly what you’re doing. Thank you for reminding me of songs I had forgotten. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
When our kids were little, we lived in ATL and had stores in 3 different malls. Had a snow day, and the mall closed early, so we ran out to the truck. As we all set th led in, my youngest (6)sings out, "The heat is OFF ...". Cracked us up, then and now!
