This song takes me back 25 years. I am a really introverted shy guy. And I have zero game. Anyway my wife (in my eyes) is a ten. Me on my best day a 6. Our group from work went out every thursday night. I couldnt look her way let alone talk to her. So she sat next to me one thursday and asked why I never talked to her. So I told her the next song that came on the jukebox was everything I have ever wanted to say to her. Then held my breath as the song came on. Half way through we shared our first kiss. I cant remember the next ten minutes. But it worked and we are still strong after all these years. Love you two. You guys remind me of us.
Her name was Nancy. I was 12 and got the nerve up to call the am radio station in Hudson NY to dedicate this song to her on a Friday night. Memories are amazing
Exile knocks it out of the park with this tune....That throbbing underbeat is the hook...then the vocals are low...sexy and yearning. You don't have to be vulgar or explicit...just sincere and genuine. The band is competent and very talented...the entire package is danceable and great for some afternoon delight!! Exile...ROCKS!!!
"Kiss You All Over" was #1 for 4 weeks in 1978 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the biggest Pop chart hit for Exile; 3 other titles peaked @ #40, #88 & #97. Then they went country and between 1983 - 1991, they charted 21 country hits.
@@joniwalters2694 Hello from Woodford County, Most people have no inkling about how much musical talent is within Central Kentucky especially. The Continental Inn that was torn down some time ago was the staging ground where Ike & Tina Turner and Rare Earth as well as many many others cut their teeth before hitting it big within the music industry. I think one of the original Exile members lives just over from where I am located. One never knows who may be living next door so to speak.
I was a waitress in high school and all my tip money went in the jukebox for this song. When the jukebox man came to swap out records I would buy the ones he took out so I got to buy this one. Those were the best of times. Nothing will ever compare to the 70's for me. I don't know if you've reacted to Bob Segar " We've Got Tonight" but you'd love it.
My mom died tragically when I was in my freshman year of college. My girlfriend had moved hundreds of miles away…she was close to my mom. She took a bus to come be with me. As my dad was taking care of funeral arrangements, my gf and I sat in the back seat of his car, holding each other and crying. This song came on the radio at that moment, and is firmly etched in my mind with that moment in my life - I can’t hear it without being taken back to that moment when we held each other for hours, “as the night close(d) in”.
Man I was about 15 years old when this tune came out!! Definitely one cool sounding tune. It was a big hit when it first came out in 1978. Damn I’m old!!
I have loved this sexy, sultry song since it was released. So many one hit wonders in the 70s. Lol, every girl wanted this playing, while parking with their boyfriend!!!
I am 62 and STILL have this on my playlist. I remember when it came out….my Senior year of high school. Oh the great memories of some amazing songs/artists😊
I've always loved this song and their harmonies give me chills to this day!! Please check out Sentimental Lady by Bob Welch, At This Moment (Live Version) by Billy Vera & The Beaters, Amie by Pure Prairie League, Lady by Little River Band, Jackie Blue by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and Right Down the Line by Gerry Rafferty.

The love and respect yes has for her is what is somewhat unusual for a song like this and he also knows that it is mutual and he not only wants her but also needs her.
Me and my husband saw them at an Alabama Concert this year. Exile was a guest band, and they sang that song, and they sound just as good as they did back in the 70's.
This review may be 2 years old, but I just saw Exile in concert at the 2024 Kentucky State Fair. They opened up for 38 Special. Both bands put on a great show. Exile did an awesome job. The are superb musicians!
Another great reaction to another great song. The “darkness” that you refer to, is what I call “haunting”. There’s something very haunting about this song. Danced to this song at some point in some disco.
In 1978, Exile consisted of Stokley, Pennington, and Cornelison, plus second keyboardist Marlon Hargis, bassist Sonny LeMaire, and drummer Steve Goetzman. This lineup signed with Warner Brothers and released the album Mixed Emotions.The disco-influenced single "Kiss You All Over", 🔥🔥🔥written by the album's producer Mike Chapman and his songwriting partner Nicky Chinn, topped the American singles chart for four weeks and also reached the top ten in a dozen European countries. The song attracted some controversy for its risqué lyrics, while Stokley gained media attention as a flamboyant and charismatic front man. 👄💋

I can't hear this song, without instantly thinking of Happy Gilmore, speaking of which you guys should definitely cover that movie on your reaction channel at some point.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!! You know when your brain files away those special songs that take you back to a specific time in your life you CANNOT EVER FORGET….THIS IS MY SONG…I remember how old I was, where I was going, and who I was with. Love this song!!!!
70s sexy was sensual, very suggestive, and sometimes kind of nasty. Everybody loved it!! As for those of us who were kids during the 70s, these sexy songs definitely fueled our imaginations. What are they talking about? What? Really? Your big brother did that? Oooh Wow!!
funny, thing about exile, is that they later became a country band, I remember when this song came out, it was a big hit at the local public pool, the lifeguards were responsible for selecting the music that played, and they played some songs back then that I still enjoy listening to all these many years later
Oh my goodness, Amber is throwing looks at Jordan as soon as Jimmy starts singing at 1:43....Then there's that little smirk... Oh, my gosh... too cute and funny. Don't ever play this song late in the evening or Luca isn't going to be your last baby. 🤭 So glad you guys reacted to this song. It is one of my go to songs with or without the video. Take care and be well, guys. Peace.
Always liked this song. Not sure they had any other hits. Never knew what looked like so really liked this video. The pairing of their voices was classic.
They put out a "Best Of Exile" album out in 1986, but if you're into vinyl, the song was on their first album "Mixed Emotions" from 1978. The song was so huge, it sold millions, so you should be able to find a good copy really cheap at a local used record store or charity shop's bin.
I think this may have been their only pop hit. It certainly was by far their biggest. They later became successful on the country charts during the 80's.
This is a classic.. they have a lot of good country tracks as well. - woke up in love, don’t want to be a memory, give me one more chance,she’s a miracle,I could get used to you, crazy for you love .
Exile is still playing together after 60 years. J.P. Pennington is the short haired singer and he’s still one of their lead singers. I will see them in concert for the fifth time in September.
I saw Exile in concert back in 1988. I was 10 years old. My little sister and I listened to their records all the time (our favorite Exile song was “Woke Up In Love”) so we got to see them live with our parents. I hope you listen to more of their catalog. The best part of our childhood was sitting by the pond on summer nights, listening to Exile, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dan Seals, Charly McClain…
For me, this is the kind of song you ignore when you are single (more of a hard rock fan), but when you are truly in love with someone - this song expresses what you feel. I remember singing this to an old girlfriend, back in the day, and I really meant it.
Exile got their start in Richmond, KY. I remember them performing at the lounge of Eastland Bowling Lanes in my hometown of Lexington. I was there bowling but you could hear them even on the lanes. They did a great cover of Jesus is Just All Right (a hit for the Doobie Brothers). It was quite fun later on to watch a local band climb the charts like they did. At that time I was working with a girl who knew one of the members and she got my album cover signed by the entire band.
As a Kentuckian, this is one song I’m proud to say came out of my home state. I teach at Eastern Kentucky University- Richmond was a well known party town back in the day.
I was in a band called Genesis (pre Phil collins) and we played dates with the original lineup quite a few times. I also went to EKU and when they played at Speck's it was a happening. You couldn't get in the door. Good memories.
Song came out the year I graduated high school. Love it! My son (he's 35) who was in many bands growing up said: "Mom, your generation had the BEST music." I have to agree. :) I hope you keep finding/reviewing gems like this one! Go R.S.R.
I was a teenager when this came out and the vocals and lyrics threw my hormones into turmoil. Another sexy song, and from a band you love, is Not Enough Time by INXS.
@@rebeccabauer792 I'll never forget curling my hair, door open & my dad came in while I was listening to 1999 album ... he loved the last song & walked in during Let's Pretend We're Married. I started like scream talking to him so he couldn't hear the lyrics hahaa Thought I was so slick, he says as he's walking away "I like the one song, don't listen to this one anymore"😂
@@debbiedebster5806 Hilarious! I can totally imagine this scene, especially as a huge Prince fan. I begged for concert tickets to the Purple Rain concert for my 19th birthday and I did get them, but not before my dad expressed his disgust given what he had read about the lyrics. There was a write up in the paper that included lyrics from “Darling Nikki.” I think the only reason my dad relented and bought me the tickets anyway was because he remembered how his parents had reacted to Elvis.
@@rebeccabauer792 lol!! Thank God our parents remembered being our age, in MOST regards!😂 I went thru my punk phase in AZ, wore all BLACK on a balmy 116 degree day lol, dad would say "Jesus, you going to rob a gas station?" etc etc.. he finally confessed he would stop giving me a hard time bc when he moved from the south to Chicago, he thought his hair was too cool, so in dead of winter he wore no hat or gloves in his leather jacket, snot frozen to his face & shivering "oh yeah, the chicks were digging me"😂😂
Loved this tune so much. The album version is the best since it is longer. With its dance grooves, it was a big surprise when Exile proved to ultimately be a country band.
This was a great song and both singers had great voices which blended together perfectly. They were a one hit wonder band as far as pop music goes, but they did have several hits on the country charts after this.
@@bethmiller1840 well I certainly could be, I did buy Venus and Mars when it was released in the '70s. Great album! I think I was probably trying to spell something else at the time and then I spelled Magneto. I thought how cool, just like Magneto and Titanium Man so I kept it.
Here is a bit of trivia. They played at my junior prom. I have the photos to prove it. They were playing top 40 at that time. They were only popular in Kentucky.
I always loved this song. Every time I see Jimmy Stokley, the singer with the long hair, I think of Jeff Keith, the singer from Tesla. If you haven’t reacted to Tesla yet, you need to!! 😍
Loved staying up late to watch the Midnight Special when I was a kid. Another good one guys. Still blows me away, how much fun it is to see you young folks diggin us old folks music.
Huge #1 hit from 1978! They originally recorded "Heart And Soul," made popular by Huey Lewis & The News. I heard they went totally country & were pretty successful in the 80's.
Just pointing out that although they did a great live version for The Midnight Special - this video that you are watching has the studio audio track and the visual edited to fit it.
Although I never suggest live videos for a first time reaction, you are absolutely right, the live "audio" version is fantastic! I remember watching it as it aired on TV, a very memorable performance.
Another one of my all time favourites EVER. And I cannot tell you how pleased I am that you've reacted to this, at long last! Thank you 😊 💓 Love ya, lots.
Exile were based out of the Lexington, KY area in the late 60s and 70s. I lived near Lake Cumberland 90 miles to the south.We would travel sometimes 200 miles to see them even back then. Later on, after subsequent singles never matched the success of this one ( song of the year) , they began to see songs of theirs covered by country artists go to the top of the charts. And this was when country was beginning to become HUGE, so naturally they turned to country and had many number ones and at least 20 charting songs, and many more covers by other artists. Oh, and did I mention that not only did they play at our prom in the late 60s, but 20 years later the new incarnation signed my guitar. :)
This is one of my all time favorite bands and i love love this song. It's a very sexy song. Awesome reaction love to you both from the one and only Memphis Tn. fyi Jimmy Stokley was the lead singer with the long blondish hair he passed away on August 13th 1985 of complications from hepatitis he was 41 yrs. old.
inexplicable one of my favorite songs. This reminds me of another one of my favorite 1970s soft rock groups John Coley and England Dan. Gotta react to Love Is The Answer I'd Really Like to See You Tonight Nights Are Forever
Another favorite...another memory...... I remember being at the state fair, and they would just blast this on the rides!! This song was absolutely huge!
Super Love- Crazy for Your Love-Woke Up in Love She's a Miracle -i Could Get Used to You- Give Me Just One More Chance- I don't want to be a Memory- My top favs, to jog ur memory of a few.😉
My little fifteen year old heart beat quickly when I saw Jimmy. Forty plus years later, I still love this song, and the memories it recalls. I would like to see you react to the Hooters "All You Zombies" or "And We Danced"
The first woman I knew in the biblical sense took me to Heaven with this song. We worked together and she would walk by me at times and whisper to me, I want to kiss you all over, and walk away. Later on she made good her words with actions. I was overwhelmed. She was older than me and turned me backwards, forward, sideways, down, and every which way she could think of. I was spellbound and just catching up to her, when she broke my heart in 17 places. It took a long time to recover from that one. Tracey Ullman wrote a song with that title a few years later. Never forgot the woman or this song though.
The band actually thought they were going to be lip syncing like they had on other tv shows. The Midnight Special required artists and bands to perform live. Tv shows wanted bands to lip sync. This video is the album cut. If you search Exile-Kiss You All Over (The Midnight Special, 1978), you’ll hear the difference in the 2 lead vocalist singing. They still sound great, but they’re actually singing.
Produced by songwriter/producer Mike Chapman, written by Mike Chapman & Holly Knight. Mike Chapman the one who wrote (with Nicky Chinn) "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet and loads off other hit songs..
After their success on the pop charts faded away, they reemerged during the mid-1980s as a pretty solid country band, where they had a number of additional hits in the country genre.
Yesss! We just saw them in concert a few months ago. They were great! They are not a one hit wonder!! Listen to “I can’t get close enough” and “I could get used to you” also “ I don’t want to be a memory” !!! They have many more. Great reaction!! ❤
My wife passed away in 93 in her early 20s from cancer, I still cry when I hear this song.
Hugs xx
Some songs hit right into the core of our hearts, souls, and minds. So sorry for your loss ❤

This song takes me back 25 years. I am a really introverted shy guy. And I have zero game. Anyway my wife (in my eyes) is a ten. Me on my best day a 6. Our group from work went out every thursday night. I couldnt look her way let alone talk to her. So she sat next to me one thursday and asked why I never talked to her. So I told her the next song that came on the jukebox was everything I have ever wanted to say to her. Then held my breath as the song came on. Half way through we shared our first kiss. I cant remember the next ten minutes. But it worked and we are still strong after all these years. Love you two. You guys remind me of us.
Wow. That is so cool.
Wow, very brave, and also really cool 😎. This song is in my top ten Greatest Singles Of All-time. And, I'm glad it worked out for you both. 👍
I remember being a teenager wishing I had someone who felt that way about me! So happy for you!😊
Awesome story!
Cool story!
I'm a hard core metal head and I have had this song in my play list for over 40 years... even metal heads need to mellow out once and awhile

At the Crystal Palace skating rink in 1979.
👍👍👍 COUPLES SKATE: OMG that nailed it. Perfect. I can feel the mirror all shines hitting my skin just thinking about it. 👍👍👍
so much to disco dominating the late 70s thats all ways been BS there wasWAY more than disco in the late 70s
I was totally thinking the exact same. Thank you for the validation 🎉🎉😂❤
Wow nail on the head. Perfect memory.
60s and 70s early 80s best music ever. I watched the younger kids reacting videos they never really appreciate the vocals.

Yes! Hot Chocolate are great. Don't forget their other banger "Everyone's A Winner."
Gotta have some Hot Chocolate, the bass is so damn good.
OMG,, no matter how down I might feel, I can dance anytime to that song.
The logical Hot Chocolate song to do after this is 'Every 1's a Winner' since it and this song both have guitar riffs as the primary hook.

Yeah, it was a bit controversial in '78. Compared to the music today, it was mild.
Poor Jimmy died way too young, should have been a bigger star than he was.
I can't hear this song, without instantly thinking of Happy Gilmore, speaking of which you guys should definitely cover that movie on your reaction channel at some point.
Ha ha....my thoughts exactly..chucking already and seeing it. The movie scene and this song is forever printed in my brain...classic!
My girlfriend is dead by the way. Yeah
She fell off a cliff and died on impact
_~ rest in paradise jimmy ~_
Great minds think alike. That scene and when he's fighting Bob Barker. Absolute classic!!! 🤣🤣🤣🙏🇺🇸✌️😎
"I've seen those finger paintings you bring home and THEY SUCK!"
ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!! You know when your brain files away those special songs that take you back to a specific time in your life you CANNOT EVER FORGET….THIS IS MY SONG…I remember how old I was, where I was going, and who I was with. Love this song!!!!
70s sexy was sensual, very suggestive, and sometimes kind of nasty. Everybody loved it!!
As for those of us who were kids during the 70s, these sexy songs definitely fueled our imaginations. What are they talking about? What? Really? Your big brother did that? Oooh Wow!!
funny, thing about exile, is that they later became a country band, I remember when this song came out, it was a big hit at the local public pool, the lifeguards were responsible for selecting the music that played, and they played some songs back then that I still enjoy listening to all these many years later
Oh my goodness, Amber is throwing looks at Jordan as soon as Jimmy starts singing at 1:43....Then there's that little smirk... Oh, my gosh... too cute and funny. Don't ever play this song late in the evening or Luca isn't going to be your last baby. 🤭 So glad you guys reacted to this song. It is one of my go to songs with or without the video. Take care and be well, guys. Peace.
Always liked this song. Not sure they had any other hits. Never knew what looked like so really liked this video. The pairing of their voices was classic.
They put out a "Best Of Exile" album out in 1986, but if you're into vinyl, the song was on their first album "Mixed Emotions" from 1978. The song was so huge, it sold millions, so you should be able to find a good copy really cheap at a local used record store or charity shop's bin.
I think this may have been their only pop hit. It certainly was by far their biggest. They later became successful on the country charts during the 80's.
They ended up doing country in the 80's and had a few chart toppers on the country charts. She's a miracle is one of those songs.
"How Could This Go Wrong".....is a great song.
th-cam.com/video/Ir_iipQ37mg/w-d-xo.html
They did write and record a song that ended up being a bigger hit for Huey Lewis called Heart and Soul
One of my favorite songs from junior high!
Can't remember the last time I heard this song. You guy's really do have the best viewers who suggest songs like this!
OMG thanks for doing this masterpiece.
This is a classic.. they have a lot of good country tracks as well. - woke up in love, don’t want to be a memory, give me one more chance,she’s a miracle,I could get used to you, crazy for you love .
1978. The bus ride to home. Music never to forget. 16 miles of memories.
OMG this takes me back to dating my husband as an 18 year old, this song was always on the car radio
Exile is still playing together after 60 years. J.P. Pennington is the short haired singer and he’s still one of their lead singers. I will see them in concert for the fifth time in September.
Man I'm happy you guys did this song.
They were the days ..OMG .. ♥️♥️ I LOVE YOUR REACTION .. THANKYOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE 🤗🇦🇺
I saw Exile in concert back in 1988. I was 10 years old. My little sister and I listened to their records all the time (our favorite Exile song was “Woke Up In Love”) so we got to see them live with our parents. I hope you listen to more of their catalog. The best part of our childhood was sitting by the pond on summer nights, listening to Exile, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dan Seals, Charly McClain…
Ahhh...the good old days!
Love that funky bass line!
7777777777000000ssss FUNK
Saw them do this live in the fall of 1978 when they opened for Heart. The vocals were superb and the lead singer is insane on the xylophone!!!
Me too!!! It was great!!
Saw them in Columbus!
Omg! They opened for HEART?! Wow! What a show!
Whew I bet that was a fun concert! I was a sophomore in hight school and LOVED this song.
2 70s bands same night FAR OUT AND GROOVY
For me, this is the kind of song you ignore when you are single (more of a hard rock fan), but when you are truly in love with someone - this song expresses what you feel. I remember singing this to an old girlfriend, back in the day, and I really meant it.
Exile got their start in Richmond, KY. I remember them performing at the lounge of Eastland Bowling Lanes in my hometown of Lexington. I was there bowling but you could hear them even on the lanes. They did a great cover of Jesus is Just All Right (a hit for the Doobie Brothers). It was quite fun later on to watch a local band climb the charts like they did. At that time I was working with a girl who knew one of the members and she got my album cover signed by the entire band.
I listened to them at the Southland Bowling Lanes in Lex.! Not bowling though... just listening to the band. Loved them!
As a Kentuckian, this is one song I’m proud to say came out of my home state. I teach at Eastern Kentucky University- Richmond was a well known party town back in the day.
I was in a band called Genesis (pre Phil collins) and we played dates with the original lineup quite a few times. I also went to EKU and when they played at Speck's it was a happening. You couldn't get in the door. Good memories.
Yeah, I loved them. Never got to see them. Dont know how i didnt, my dad and grandfather bowled there.
You're right. It was Southland, not Eastland.
Song came out the year I graduated high school. Love it! My son (he's 35) who was in many bands growing up said: "Mom, your generation had the BEST music." I have to agree. :) I hope you keep finding/reviewing gems like this one! Go R.S.R.
One of my all-time favorite songs.
I was a teenager when this came out and the vocals and lyrics threw my hormones into turmoil. Another sexy song, and from a band you love, is Not Enough Time by INXS.
I used to always feel like I was getting away with something naughty when I'd listen to this as a kid😂🙉 what a great voice& song!
One of those songs that you’d try quickly to turn down the volume or talk really loud when your parents walked in the room.
@@rebeccabauer792 I'll never forget curling my hair, door open & my dad came in while I was listening to 1999 album ... he loved the last song & walked in during Let's Pretend We're Married. I started like scream talking to him so he couldn't hear the lyrics hahaa
Thought I was so slick, he says as he's walking away "I like the one song, don't listen to this one anymore"😂
@@debbiedebster5806
Hilarious! I can totally imagine this scene, especially as a huge Prince fan. I begged for concert tickets to the Purple Rain concert for my 19th birthday and I did get them, but not before my dad expressed his disgust given what he had read about the lyrics. There was a write up in the paper that included lyrics from “Darling Nikki.” I think the only reason my dad relented and bought me the tickets anyway was because he remembered how his parents had reacted to Elvis.
@@rebeccabauer792 lol!! Thank God our parents remembered being our age, in MOST regards!😂 I went thru my punk phase in AZ, wore all BLACK on a balmy 116 degree day lol, dad would say "Jesus, you going to rob a gas station?" etc etc.. he finally confessed he would stop giving me a hard time bc when he moved from the south to Chicago, he thought his hair was too cool, so in dead of winter he wore no hat or gloves in his leather jacket, snot frozen to his face & shivering "oh yeah, the chicks were digging me"😂😂
Dang I was 20 when this song came out. Now at 66, it's still a track I listen to frequently. RIP JIMMY STOKLEY.
Omg YESSSS. At last you get to reacting to Exile & "Kiss You All Over" & I know your gonna ❤ it.
Loved this tune so much. The album version is the best since it is longer. With its dance grooves, it was a big surprise when Exile proved to ultimately be a country band.
This was a great song and both singers had great voices which blended together perfectly. They were a one hit wonder band as far as pop music goes, but they did have several hits on the country charts after this.
I have to ask; are you Magneto like Magneto and Titanium Man by Wings?
@@bethmiller1840 well I certainly could be, I did buy Venus and Mars when it was released in the '70s. Great album! I think I was probably trying to spell something else at the time and then I spelled Magneto. I thought how cool, just like Magneto and Titanium Man so I kept it.
@@magneto7930 I love it!
@@bethmiller1840 aww...thank you. I thought maybe it was a little too much ego with the capital letters, but it looks nice like that. 🙂
Here is a bit of trivia. They played at my junior prom. I have the photos to prove it. They were playing top 40 at that time. They were only popular in Kentucky.
I always loved this song. Every time I see Jimmy Stokley, the singer with the long hair, I think of Jeff Keith, the singer from Tesla. If you haven’t reacted to Tesla yet, you need to!! 😍
I love Tesla!
@@ChristChickAutistic me toooo!!
Yes. He does resemble Jeff Keith.
Loved staying up late to watch the Midnight Special when I was a kid. Another good one guys. Still blows me away, how much fun it is to see you young folks diggin us old folks music.
I have always loved this song.
I grew up in the 70s. When this song hit the radio.... Yeah We were embarrassed to play it in earshot of our parents.
Now this reminds me of AM radio. This was a big song in the late 70's I believe. It's a very radio friendly song.
One hit wonder!
But they weren't a one hit band!!
Everything about this song is excellent. It will never get old.
Huge #1 hit from 1978! They originally recorded "Heart And Soul," made popular by Huey Lewis & The News. I heard they went totally country & were pretty successful in the 80's.
Wife here...Love Love Love this song..One of the first bands to have a number one hit on both Country and Rock charts!!
Just pointing out that although they did a great live version for The Midnight Special - this video that you are watching has the studio audio track and the visual edited to fit it.
Although I never suggest live videos for a first time reaction, you are absolutely right, the live "audio" version is fantastic! I remember watching it as it aired on TV, a very memorable performance.
David Carradine vocalista, sensacional😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg! This one brings back so many memories! I have always loved it..✌❤🎶
This is absolutely on my top 70's hit list! I've never grown tired of hearing this tune!
Another one of my all time favourites EVER. And I cannot tell you how pleased I am that you've reacted to this, at long last! Thank you 😊 💓 Love ya, lots.
Every stripper in Alaska performed to this son, and the Stones' Miss You.
Exile were based out of the Lexington, KY area in the late 60s and 70s. I lived near Lake Cumberland 90 miles to the south.We would travel sometimes 200 miles to see them even back then. Later on, after subsequent singles never matched the success of this one ( song of the year) , they began to see songs of theirs covered by country artists go to the top of the charts. And this was when country was beginning to become HUGE, so naturally they turned to country and had many number ones and at least 20 charting songs, and many more covers by other artists. Oh, and did I mention that not only did they play at our prom in the late 60s, but 20 years later the new incarnation signed my guitar. :)
LOVE THIS SONG! Little too young back when this came out! NOW I KNOW!
This is one of my all time favorite bands and i love love this song. It's a very sexy song. Awesome reaction love to you both from the one and only Memphis Tn. fyi Jimmy Stokley was the lead singer with the long blondish hair he passed away on August 13th 1985 of complications from hepatitis he was 41 yrs. old.
inexplicable one of my favorite songs. This reminds me of another one of my favorite 1970s soft rock groups John Coley and England Dan. Gotta react to
Love Is The Answer
I'd Really Like to See You Tonight
Nights Are Forever
Another favorite...another memory...... I remember being at the state fair, and they would just blast this on the rides!! This song was absolutely huge!
I don’t remember any other songs by Exile but this track is burned into my brain in a good way!
They went country and did great!!
@@greenworm7915 yes! So many great songs!
Super Love- Crazy for Your Love-Woke Up in Love She's a Miracle -i Could Get Used to You- Give Me Just One More Chance- I don't want to be a Memory- My top favs, to jog ur memory of a few.😉
LOVE this song. What great memories it conjures up. I'm having a moment. ☺
My little fifteen year old heart beat quickly when I saw Jimmy. Forty plus years later, I still love this song, and the memories it recalls. I would like to see you react to the Hooters "All You Zombies" or "And We Danced"
Heard this. In 77 it was on radio all the time listens to t rex bang a gong from 71😊
The first woman I knew in the biblical sense took me to Heaven with this song. We worked together and she would walk by me at times and whisper to me, I want to kiss you all over, and walk away. Later on she made good her words with actions. I was overwhelmed. She was older than me and turned me backwards, forward, sideways, down, and every which way she could think of. I was spellbound and just catching up to her, when she broke my heart in 17 places. It took a long time to recover from that one. Tracey Ullman wrote a song with that title a few years later. Never forgot the woman or this song though.
Another great song that made our hearts say let it be me. This was the rare song that was both Pop and Disco and was even played in some rock clubs.
Me encanta esta banda y la voz de Jimmy Stokley❤
The band actually thought they were going to be lip syncing like they had on other tv shows. The Midnight Special required artists and bands to perform live. Tv shows wanted bands to lip sync. This video is the album cut. If you search Exile-Kiss You All Over
(The Midnight Special, 1978), you’ll hear the difference in the 2 lead vocalist singing. They still sound great, but they’re actually singing.
Have always had this as no.1 sexy love song. Such a great vibe & cool bass.
Great reaction again guys
✌️❤️
🇦🇺
Produced by songwriter/producer Mike Chapman, written by Mike Chapman & Holly Knight. Mike Chapman the one who wrote (with Nicky Chinn) "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet and loads off other hit songs..
After their success on the pop charts faded away, they reemerged during the mid-1980s as a pretty solid country band, where they had a number of additional hits in the country genre.
I didn't know that. Ya learn something new everyday!!
Happy Gilmore. That's all I'm thinking about when I hear this song lol
Three really good picks tonight Jay & Amber. It's 02:17 and I've stayed up to hear this third song. Loving them all.
Now i know where Outkast got his Dip dance moves for Hey Ya.😂 Blondie Stokely Dude with long hair RIP
I am shocked they weren't massively more popular, that singer looks like a male supermodel. cheers
I love your username, lol!
I was nine years old when this classic dropped, and I still have it on rotation.
Sounds as good as the first time I heard it.
Yesss! We just saw them in concert a few months ago. They were great! They are not a one hit wonder!! Listen to “I can’t get close enough” and “I could get used to you” also “ I don’t want to be a memory” !!! They have many more.
Great reaction!! ❤
Check out Gino Vanelli's "Living inside myself" and "I just want to stop"
