Glad you liked that! The studio version is even better. The melodica is a fun instrument, very similar to the "Hooter", which is essentially a cheap plastic keyboard that you blow into the side of. There was an 80's band that made that nickname for the instrument very popular when they took it for their band name, "The Hooters". Check out "And We Danced" and "Day By Day".
Angela is my last remaining Reactor. She keeps a wide range of music coming and then of course is the fact is she's just adorable and enjoys the music she reacts.... Thanks...Keep them coming...
Orleans had another great song I think you will like a lot called "Love Takes Time." It peaked at #11 on Billboard's Pop Charts in 1979. So, I guess I am officially requesting it - and I hope others here do :-)
What’s even more amazing than the actual song is that this is truly live. I don’t think people are aware how difficult it is to sound this good live. The Midnight Special is the place to go for live performances of great artists. Definitely listen to the studio version.
He is using a melodica which Is what a lot of musicians use to change or simulate different types of tones when singing a song. You can blow into it and have it sounding like a harmonica or use the more advanced ones such as Roger Troutman lead singer of Zapp used to on the song I want to be your man in Love and Basketball or Herbie Hancock in Rock it. This song is country soul which focuses on using songs natural harmony and blending of vocals with either very little musical instrument accompaniment.
The guy on the piano came over to Iraq and did a USO show for us. He was the guitar player with Jimmy Jamison from the group Survivor in Baghdad. He was absolutely amazing. RIP
Was waiting for your to do this one! Melodica was what Larry Hoppen was playing. The music was written by the guitarist, John Hall, and the lyrics by his wife who heard him playing the chords and suggested a title and then the lyrics. Upstate NY music! Knew you would like this one!
This song always brings tears. Yes, tears. I used this as the ringtone for my precious friend, Charlotte. She passed away four years ago, and I still miss her so much! Wish I could share a dance with her right now. I love you, Charlotte, and miss you so!
ORLEANS was a very popular group in the 70's. The singer/guitar player in the front with the beard and tank top is Jon Hall. He went on later to become a Congressman. Jon Hall also wrote a song with his wife called "Power", he sang it at the 1979 No Nukes concert in NYC. Check it out on you tube. Here is another good song from Orleans-"Still the One" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SdfW_2frXnE.html
Angela, this song is one of my favorites from my songs from my "childhood". I would be your dance partner any time to this song. I just love your exploration into my generations' music. Brings back so many memories. THANK YOU!
Years and I mean my youth so 40+ years ago, Orleans was a AAA Bar band, this was the song that broke them thru. A very good band Angela, there are a few more songs that charted top 100
Great reaction. Thanks Angela. I saw this group many years ago opening for Bonnie Raitt. If I remember correctly guitarist John Hall played with her also. There were some great concerts back then and a lot cheaper too haha ☮
I know this is a year ago- I hope you see this Angela. Another great song that’s a must hear is their song “New Orleans Ladies!” Hope you will do it. ✌️
Girl, you're taking me back to my innocent days. No matter how good a song is, if it brings back a memory or a time in your life that wasn't happy, you'll relive that. This song came out when I was in a good place in my childhood.
Very curious to see if you'll like this song. It is, again, from my youth, and it has that lilting country/soft rock vibe that I imagine sounds so ancient and dated in 2022. But the harmonies are so good, and the melody is so strong, and it hasn't been played-out or clichéd ... I think you may like this one. We'll see.
Phone or must see once to believe. I got both for you and dance with me was one. And Easy was one too and it was great that it meant a lot to you. I loved you doing it. At my age I am drawing a blank right now so i thank you guys for coming up with those songs from my past. The memories. How about the studio version of "RED" by Sammy Hagar. It was his 1st hit way back when (70's) and his best to this day in my opinion. He recorded it with the Montrose Band.
Great song. I have loved this song since it came out in the 70's. Angella, may I ask, why you have so many different ear buds on. I've noticed that you always seem to switch them around during the videos. Just curious. Thanks for the great reactions.
Angela, PLEASE do a video on a VERY RARE dance song from 1986 from a group called Fire On Blonde. This group should have been as big as Madonna or Ace Of Base. Instead they only released three singles between 1986 and 1987. Their biggest hit was "Stop & Think" from '86. The groove and beat is infectious, and Suzi Rose Benson (the lead singer) sounds like a cross between Teena Marie and Taylor Dayne. Her vocals are powerful and incredible! 😀😄😄😄You have to hear it to believe it! No video was ever officially made, but there are 2 videos on youtube that showcase the song with a static background. Listen to either the 3:40 or 3:45 versions only: DO NOT PLAY THE REMIX/EXTENDED VERSIONS😣😣😣😣!!!! THEY TOTALLY DESTROY THE ESSANCE OF THE SONG!!!! You will love this rare gem and add it to your playlist....I guarantee it!!!😁😁😁😀😊
I'm just tired S.A. A Angela. I fall in love again. Ever Monday Wednesday and Friday night that I'm saying that I'm falling in love again. Like snow. That's what I saw in the morning forester FOR R. AST ER Forster sister's die saying the song I fell in love LO. VE again. Last l I s t night anna g h t by the forester sisters
3 guys singing good 3 part harmony, but because someone at the board mixed it badly, 90% of the time we only hear 2 of them. The actual recorded version sounds much better than this unfortunate TV show video.
It absolutely is a talk box, a melodica is a keyboard type musical instrument, a talk box is a voice fed (basically through a straw) musical instrument that allows musicians to modify the sound of a musical instrument by shaping the frequency content of the sound and to apply speech sounds. Joe Walsh used Talk Boxes to GREAT success in both the James Gang and his solo career.
@@NoahFroio He is not talking into the tube, he is blowing into it. To me, it looks like it works similar to the instrument Jon Batiste plays on LSWSC intro. Not a talk box.
