THIS BLEW OUR MINDS!!! GENE CHANDLER - RAINBOW (REACTION) 

Gene Chandler is one of the few singers to achieve chart success spanning the doo-wop, rhythm & blues, soul & disco musical eras 50's-80's. His 2 biggest hits were "Duke Of Earl" & "Groovy Situation". But he recorded a lot of great songs such as "Just Be True", "Nothing Can Stop Me", "What Now," "Rainbow," "I Fooled You This Time," "Think Nothing About It," "A Man's Temptation," "To Be A Lover," "Bless Our Love", "You Can't Hurt Me No More" etc.

I was a little girl when this song came out and my Mom played it to death!!! It's "Rainbow 65". Even at an early age I had an ear for great music and THIS ONE RIGHT HERE......!!!! NO WORDS...

The LEGENDARY Mr Gene Chandler

You MUST MUST MUST react to Rainbow 65 the Live version!!! Love it!!

Gene "The Duke of Earl" Chandler!! Always put on a GREAT show!

This is one of the songs my mom played over and over.....I knew why then, I know why NOW! I was nine yrs old when this came out and mom played this on a 45 in record. Man, great memories.......miss you MOM....R.I.P. Glad y'all enjoyed it.

No version is better than the original live version, Rainbow ´65!!!!

Your asking how, why....because he's the Duke of Earl!

That is some royalty there!!! The DUKE of Earl! Beautiful Gene! You are a master!!!!

Original "Rainbow" was 1965 I think & it was LIVE from the Regal Theater in Chicago. LOVED IT!!

That wasn't the first rainbow that he made. It came later!!!! He actually made 3 rainbows. FACTS💯💯

Jay and the Americans 'Cara Mia ', or ' come a little bit closer , and this magic moment won't disappoint

Gene is still the man when your #1 👍🇬🇧

The Duke of Earl. Go Gene

This was first released in 1961, this one was released in 1980.

I see you two listening to oldies a lot and thought you would love working my way back to you by The spinners. it is a song that makes you want to get up and boogie lol. Love your show

Welcome to my world, I've been listening to Mr. Chandler forever!! "I just wanna reach out and touch you"❤😊

THIS is the song is was talking about. The flipside of Duke of Earl. This live version is fantastic.

Love Gene Chandler! Great one, Folks!!!💗💗

He had a huge hit in early sixties with Duke of Earl. Don't remember this song, might have been drunk when it came out

Rainbow 65 live will mess with your mind!

"Duke of Earl" by Gene Chandler

True love music.

The all time 80s summer picnic family reunion song that had everybody showing out, 8-800!

Love him!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Yes!! Y’all’s reacting like you did the second he begins is what I always tell my daughter. Of course, the man just totally kills. I want to say he was THE DUKE OF EARL which was early 60s. Thought I’ve heard probably a thousand times it still impacts me like I can’t explain! ✌️

I had forgotten about this one. Much appreciated. I have to add it to my Playlist.

Gene Chandler ‘The Duke’ knew how to set the stage & call to his Duchess!❤ He always dressed so cool & had his top hat in hand he always looked like royalty! His voice just grabbed you & didn’t let you go 🥰🦋💜

Try Jackie Wilson Danny Boy_Jackie was one of Michael Jackson mentor

You two are the best. You liked Alabama. Their song Closer you Get ,you will love

This was a MUST at a party.. last dance

You can never ever go wrong with Gene Chandler. However, this jam is "Rainbow 80." You gotta check out the 'original' version of Rainbow and the 'live' version at the Regal Theater. You won't be disappointed.

Yup, his live version though, it's fire.

The great ones never disappoint. 💯

This song had a revival of sorts in 1980 1981 us college kids back then loved it

Because he did it over in 1980, the original he did is live rainbow 65 in 1965.

He recorded “ Groovy Situation”.

Just one thang !!!! means it's like having lots of turbulence of the heat all kinds of things going on in your heart in this case I am going to say he is really feeling lots of Rainbows that Is then Can a person ever really feel that way today THAT THING IS CALL PASSION FEELINGS WITH EVERYTHING IN YOUR SOUL NOW THAT'S MY OPINION OF LOVE !!🎵🎶💕💕

Yessssss

This was Rainbow 65, you should hear his original which was recorded live at The Regal Theater in 1962

This song is premium soul. Next level begging!

15 years before this Rainbow he made Rainbow 65. Check that one out along with Duke of Earl and I Fooled You This Time.

This is unreal! I grew up during that era, loved his Duke of Earl etc, but I never heard this one! I bet it wasn't ever on the radio or something. ??? wow wow wow wow

Yes, yes, yesssss to all the uploads! I'm living for them! Can you react to Secret Lovers by Atlantic Starr. I think ya'll reactions will be hilarious!

React to Brenda Holloway - Every little bit hurts

You gotta hear the live version of this song😎

“The Duke of Earl” he is Truly one of the greatest ones, to ever hit the air waves. 🎶

His and Jerry Butler’s music is the lick y’all!

Thanks for playing my Dad's song.

Y'all need to listen to Rainbow 65 by him LIVE....whoooo !

Weekend basement 25 cent dance 💃 party, slow dancing to the 45s records

I wish Patty and Gene would've recorded together .they are so similar in styles .

He originally did a live version of this in 1963

Speaking of rainbows... try Rainbow - street of dreams... such an amazing song

Gene Chandler's got some of the best soul oldies.

The original was paired with the single You threw a Lucky Punch in 1962-both being hits.

I love there’s a rainbow. You have to react to groovy situation.

Okay you guys knocked it out of the park with Gene Chandler "Rainbow" Fiy there's a live version that's insane.

I remember hearing this song and several others my sister would play. Her friends would be listening to it swaying to the song with their eyes close. We would laugh get chased out of the living room. Listen to Sam Cook, Johnny Mathis, Little Anthony. I think Gene Chandler also did a remake of this song called Rainbow 65..

You need to React to the full version of that song Rainbow 65 Gene Chandler, trust, he goes hard!!!!

This is his 3rd version, his first was 1962, then Rainbow 65

Please react to Rainbow 65(live) from Gene Chandler. Its the original version. Way much better. This is the 80s version.

Not the 1980's the 60's. There was a movie of the Motown Show and Gene Chandler was one of the performers. This was back when Stevie Wonder was "Little" Stevie Wonder.

You gotta listen to 'Does Your Mama Know About Me' by Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers, it's awesome! The song was actually written by Tommy Chong from Cheech and Chong fame, ha, he was in this band way back inthe 60s!

Rainbow’80!!!!!

I think he recorded this song three times: Rainbow '65, Rainbow 80, Rainbow '88. Each time it was a hit. Check out the recorded live version Rainbow "65, he brought the house down!

The live version of this song is total electric. Gotta check that one out too..

Oh Shawn your so mushy,.... mel good thing you can smile at him and say honey calm down, when the song is done we'll get up and dance with the lights on. We had great songs back then . love you two . Terry Oh and Mel go get your black heels, yes I'm an old romantic. .

Whoever sent you this is tryna sabotage you. Rainbow '65 is the ultimate live performance. I'm still looking for a video recording of the original performance at the Regal Theatre.

Listen to Gene Chandler Does She Have A Friend For Me also from the 1980's its a great toon

This song came out in the early sixties, not the eighties. You can listen to the technology of the sound.

They need to hear the original version rainbow 65

☮️💜

You guys gotta hear the live version of this song!!!

If you guys get a chance check out the live version Rainbow 65 it is the original This one is pretty good but the original is a must listen to.you will understand why he was called Gean Chandler the Women Handler back in the day✌️&♥️

🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶💯

You should have done the live Rainbow version of 1965

IT'S RAINBOW 65 I WAS THERE

Try gene chandler nothing can stop me and I can take care of myself

Y’all need the 65 version

I can’t say, this isn’t my favorite artist, bur I did like the song! There was actually the original, that was back in the 1960’s. So, this was called “Rainbow’80, because it was the updated version. I’d say he came to fame in the ‘60s. His 1st song was called, “The Duke Of Earl.” Love ya guys!!!

10👍💯

Thats rainbow 65 😎

I can’t say it any louder than the other comments, the original from 1965 is the best version, by the way Gene Chandler did it!

Try SWITCH “There never be” y’all will love this one!!

Love how you review some classics. Here’s one you might never heard of. Bunny Walters take the money and run.

Oh and you might like John Rowles. Cheryl Moana Marie or If I only had time.

You should react to Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses. Great song

Now listen to Duke of Earl…. Yeah that will blow you away

duke of earl

Please play part 2 Thanks

Please react to Town Without Pity, Gene Pitney.

Don't have a comment but 2 requests,see you in September by the Happenings and out in the country by Three Dog Night.

Ultimate begging song😂

You got to do Rainbow 65 that’s the real version. Even though this one is fire it don’t hit the same

Please listen to “ the end of the Rainbow” by McKinley Mitchell. I believe you’ll absolutely love him!
