Pretty much everything on the soundtrack pulls up movie memories. My big one is Hungry Eyes, though Time of My Life is the main song. So much great music! A react to the video of Time of My Life/the final dance would be so much fun!
"Cry to me" is my all time favorite Solomon Burke's song. He sounds like a minister, because he is one. Like Al Green, he became a Minister and stopped singing secular music!
Solomon Burke was my favourite soul singer , still got L.P. Records of him. From around the late 60sWas so exited to see him when he came to London. He voice was fantastic.

You should hear Sir Tom Jones' impromptu solo rendition of "Cry To Me" on The Voice UK! It'll blow you away. The shading in his voice and his expert timing is perfect for this kind of soulful song. He also sang "Cry To Me" with one of the contestants another year on the show. It's one of the songs he's incorporated into his tours. Tom can take me to church any time! And since you mentioned Little Richard, you also should hear Tom in a duet with Little Richard on "This Is Tom Jones" TV show back in 1969.
Y’all have got to hear “Everybody needs somebody to love.” He has so many great songs. You should also check out Wilson Pickett “In the midnight hour”.
Five songs from the 50s: "Goody Goody" by Frankie Lymon; "At the Hop" by Danny and the Juniors; by "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Thurston Harris; "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry; "Rockin' Robin" by Bobby Day. An instrumental that revels in sax playing is "Jam Up" by Tommy Ridgley.
I love "Little Bitty Pretty One," and "Maybellene" itself is a total killer. I remember "Rockin' Robin" from the Jackson five version. I am unfamiliar with "Jam Up, " unless it was the the basis of "Jam Up, and Jelly Tight."
Great choice. One of the best soul singers of the 60s, for sure. Check out "Got To Get You Off My MInd", "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love", and "If You Need Me". Great rabbit hole to dive into! In his day, he was compared to legends like Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and even James Brown.
Oh heck yes! "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Thurston Harris, "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots, "Sh-boom" by the Chords, "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes, or "Come Softly To Me" by The Fleetwoods would all be amazing choices to get you back into the oldies!
I never heard of Solomon Burke until this song was in "Dirty Dancing". I scooped up a greatest hits album as soon as I could. I would like to see you guys react to "That's How I Got to Memphis". He recorded all the way up to the early 2000's.
This song always reminds me of Dirty Dancing! I love it and I love y'all too! Always enjoy watching Amber close her eyes and get into the songs! You've got some cutie pie kids too❤
This one was before my time, but like many I was introduced to this song in the Dirty Dancing movie and I absolutely love it. That film also introduced me to The Contours, The Four Seasons, and The Five Satins.
Solomon was a preacher who started singing professionally in 1955 and was one of the best rhythym and blues artists of all time. Sadly Solomon passed in 2010, he is sadly missed. Tom Jones sings Cry To Me in his stage shows and did a version on The Voice UK. As for similar artists James Carr singing Dark End Of The Street is one for you to listen to.
I think this song cadence qualifies as - The "Carolina Shag" is said to have been born along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean near Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The basic step for this upbeat, quick and smooth dance is a six-count, eight-step pattern danced in a slot. Look the dance style called "shag"
Absolutely positively a great song glad you guys got to it. You also must react to Aaron Neville his song Tell it like it is. These two songs are 60s classics!!!!
Marc Broussard does a great job of giving tribute to Solomon on this song.There is a guy named Grayson Hughes who has that New Orleans sound that would be great to listen to, especially Talk It Over In Bed.
Oldies I'd like to hear: Howlin'Wolf "Smokestack LIghtnin'" would be a good intro to the man who learned from both Charlie Patton AND Robert Johnson, in person I might add. But ANYTHING from him is a treat. The same goes for Muddy Waters. Some of his best known songs are "Rollin' and Tumblin'", "Hoochie Coochie Man", and "Mannish Boy."
I love soul, an I absolutely love this an all his songs, especially Cry to me. I'm a older 73yrs old. Women, an love dancing to all his songs. Everyone has resung this song. Terrific. My kind of music. Check out other of his songs. Surely you'll know who this man is. Your about right on the time frame. I'm always listening an dancing to these songs. The 60s are great.
It would be cool if you two reacted to a great falsetto group from the 70''s called The Stylistics They had a string of hits in the early 70's, but one of their most beloved songs is "Betcha By Golly Wow" , an innocent love song that captures the imagination and executed perfectly by The Stylistics and lead singer Russel Thompkins. I hope you'll consider this one Amber and Jordan.
Later in his career, he did some extraordinary country influenced songs, including the great "That's How I Got to Memphis ". Well worth checking out!!!
Thank you for this brings back such wonderful memories of my childhood dad grab Ma dancing to the song the pure love and joy that they had for each other in our lives together. Simply magical times got me in tears missing him but don’t feel bad it’s all good memories and I thank you for that. Love joy and peace to you and yours
Solomon Burke will take you to church without you leaving home. This is the kind of 'gospel-styled' soul that was prevalent from the 50's, especially the 60's, even through the 80's, that is almost gone today. Yes, it was present in the performances of Little Richard, early Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and countless others. The Reverend Solomon Burke was, indeed, a preacher and a giant among soul singers. Criminally underrated and overlooked toward the beginning of his career, he did get some recognition later on before his death in 2010. This song was recorded very late in 1961. It's a very honest recording, done all at once. In other words, set up some mics, turn on the tape machine and go!! It was, thankfully, included in the Dirty Dancing soundtrack in 1987 which gave it, and Mr. Burke's career, a well deserved boost.
The real thing! Millie and I were dancing around the living room. Jay I was doing that sorta jazz hand thing, and look up, and there you are joining in, lol! I don't think you guys have ever reacted to a seminal band of the 60's called the Young Rascals, and then just the Rascals. "Good Loving" will knock yer socks off! Or Gene Pitney, "I'm Gonna Be Strong". Thanks for the reaction!
“Everybody Needs Somebody to Love” was his classic that was covered by both The Rolling Stones and The Blues Brothers, but no one does it like the original.
I love this song so much. I bought it in 1962 and Atlantic records reigned supreme over the r & B stations. Driffers. Ben E. King, Percy Sledge just beore
Love this song. I've spent many hours on TH-cam watching covers of this song. So happy people are keeping this great song alive. There is also a line dance for this song. It always makes me smile watching people have so much fun.
Back in 2011 I was in this dance class and this is the song we ballroom dance to and before that I've never heard of this song now it's my favorite song
My first time hearing the bluesy Solomon Burke, loved his voice and the song. Reminded me of my man Jimmy, if you want some more great Rock n Blues, I have four words for you all, Jimmy Barnes, Stone Cold.
This isn't the first time I've heard this singer, but this is the first time I've heard this particular song. Really enjoyed this. Thank you for introducing something new and good to me. Great reaction material too. Keep it up!
There Are Probably At Least A Thousand Videos Out There Of People From 6 To 60 Dancing To This Song & I Would Definitely Suggest Watching Some Of Them.
Little Richard was popular long before this song came out which was 1962. It was one of my favorite soul sounds that year which also had Any Day Now by Chuck Jackson and Hide Nor Hair by Ray Charles and Losing Hand by Little Milton. All beautiful songs like no one makes any more. This era was good then the Beatles came in with all the other Brits and changed everything. I love both eras equally well!!
This is my favorite Solomon Burke song!!! I don't remember when it was first released in 1962. The first time I remember hearing it was in the movie " The Man from U.N.C.L.E. a 2015 spy film" I don't think he got the recognition he deserves. A very soulful singer!
Not really an “oldie”, but someone with the classic R&B/Soul sound is Delbert McClinton. “Thank You, Baby” or “Maybe Someday Baby” from the “Live In Austin” album is a great starting point. AMAZING horns in his band, too! There’s videos that show them performing it on Austin City Limits.
Omg, this song ALWAYS makes me feel a very specific way. 💕 awesome choice!!! I will forever be grateful to have bought the “Dirty Dancing” CD way back in the day!
You asked for oldies ..well here's some. I noticed you guys haven't reacted to the Platters yet. Check out The Great Pretender, Only You (and You Alone), Twilight Time, My Prayer, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Also some Buddy Holly ...you guys will LOVE Rave On. As well as Maybe Baby, Oh Boy, and Everyday.
Can't hear this song without picturing Baby and Johnny. Loved the movie, absolutely LOVE the song.
Ikr! Loved Dirty dancing 💃
i was thinking the same thing. there's also a scene in the man from u.n.c.l.e. movie where alicia vikander dances to this song.
Absolutely. They go hand and hand. Love the song and movie. Classics!!
music from dirty dancing great movie
Great soundtrack!!
“Cry to Me” is my favorite song by Solomon Burke. Listen to it as often as I can.
Same 😊
I can’t listen to this song without thinking about Patrick Swayze 🥰😍
Pretty much everything on the soundtrack pulls up movie memories. My big one is Hungry Eyes, though Time of My Life is the main song. So much great music! A react to the video of Time of My Life/the final dance would be so much fun!
Same 😔
Me too. Mostly his butt, though. 😉
Same!
SAME
This is my first time hearing Solomon Burke, it won't be the last this guy's got a voice!!!!!
yes he does, glad they introduced you 👍🏻😃👍🏻
This is one of the hardest driving, nastiest early soul songs .... so glad to hear Mr. Burke belt it out again !
"Cry to me" is my all time favorite Solomon Burke's song. He sounds like a minister, because he is one. Like Al Green, he became a Minister and stopped singing secular music!
He was raised a minister, started preaching full time as a child.
Also a licenced mortician that owned a chain of funeral homes. A Man of many talents.
Also a licenced embalmer and mortician ! One talented dude.
Wow, talk about a classic… Great song, great memories, great music!
Solomon Burke was my favourite soul singer , still got L.P. Records of him. From around the late 60sWas so exited to see him when he came to London. He voice was fantastic.
Love this song this was from the movie Dirty Dancing in Johnny's room with Baby love it
Please react to -1.The Clovers: Love Potion Number 9 -2.The Coasters: Poison Ivy -3.Bobby Lewis: Tossing and Turning -4.Lloyd Price: Stagger Lee -5.Jody Reynolds: Endless Sleep -6.Ray Peterson: Tell Laura I Love Her -7.? and the Mysterians: 96 Tears -Thanks!!!
Yes! Stagger Lee!
Solomon Burke one of the greats.
Now I gotta watch Dirty Dancing again for the1,000th time. Can't separate this awesome song from that movie. 😉
That’s how I feel about this song and she’s like the wind! Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida
You should hear Sir Tom Jones' impromptu solo rendition of "Cry To Me" on The Voice UK! It'll blow you away. The shading in his voice and his expert timing is perfect for this kind of soulful song. He also sang "Cry To Me" with one of the contestants another year on the show. It's one of the songs he's incorporated into his tours. Tom can take me to church any time! And since you mentioned Little Richard, you also should hear Tom in a duet with Little Richard on "This Is Tom Jones" TV show back in 1969.
Also check out the duet of Sir Tom Jones & Bethzienna Williams. And try Precious Wilson of Eruption in the early 1980s.
Y’all have got to hear “Everybody needs somebody to love.” He has so many great songs. You should also check out Wilson Pickett “In the midnight hour”.
Amber ,you are more right than you know. Solomon Burke was a preacher in addition to a singer.
PREACH Pastor Burke!🎙🎶✝️😁
And an undertaker
Five songs from the 50s: "Goody Goody" by Frankie Lymon; "At the Hop" by Danny and the Juniors; by "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Thurston Harris; "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry; "Rockin' Robin" by Bobby Day. An instrumental that revels in sax playing is "Jam Up" by Tommy Ridgley.
Great suggestions
Love Rockin Robin!
I love "Little Bitty Pretty One," and "Maybellene" itself is a total killer. I remember "Rockin' Robin" from the Jackson five version. I am unfamiliar with "Jam Up, " unless it was the the basis of "Jam Up, and Jelly Tight."
I thank Dirty Dancing and my parents for introducing me to this kind of music!
Yes!!!
I say the same
Great choice. One of the best soul singers of the 60s, for sure. Check out "Got To Get You Off My MInd", "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love", and "If You Need Me". Great rabbit hole to dive into! In his day, he was compared to legends like Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and even James Brown.
Solomon was a preacher
He was a founding father of soul and RnB
He had a couple great albums in the early 2000s too
Even a duet with Dolly Parton
I was gonna say - his 2008 "Don't Give Up On Me" is one of my favourite albums ever. He kept making great music late in life. RIP to a legend.
Oh heck yes! "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Thurston Harris, "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots, "Sh-boom" by the Chords, "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes, or "Come Softly To Me" by The Fleetwoods would all be amazing choices to get you back into the oldies!
I never heard of Solomon Burke until this song was in "Dirty Dancing". I scooped up a greatest hits album as soon as I could.
I would like to see you guys react to "That's How I Got to Memphis". He recorded all the way up to the early 2000's.
Same for me 👍
Oh I love Solomon Burke. I actually had this one on my list to suggest to somebody. Lol You could try Cry baby by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters.
Solomon Burke, like many early soul artist came from the church which is why there's the church feel. He was actually a preacher before he passed.
This song always reminds me of Dirty Dancing! I love it and I love y'all too! Always enjoy watching Amber close her eyes and get into the songs! You've got some cutie pie kids too❤
Enjoy you guys and your reactions! A great oldie you may enjoy is "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" by The Platters. Please keep the great reactions coming!
This one was before my time, but like many I was introduced to this song in the Dirty Dancing movie and I absolutely love it. That film also introduced me to The Contours, The Four Seasons, and The Five Satins.
He does have soul and has a good sound
This always transports me to the sexiest dirty dancing scene…. 🎶🎶🎶
Solomon was a preacher who started singing professionally in 1955 and was one of the best rhythym and blues artists of all time. Sadly Solomon passed in 2010, he is sadly missed.
Tom Jones sings Cry To Me in his stage shows and did a version on The Voice UK.

Early soul with Solomon Burke was incredible, and Brooke Benton too!💕🎶💜🥰
I'm excited for this react!!! Dirty Dancing brought me here! XD
Never get bored listening to this song and his voice,amazing!!
Yes, I enjoy listening to him as well as watching him! Yes, attitude is a great description!
This is on the movie "Dirty Dancing"... Great song!!!❤❤❤ Gotta see the movie "Dirty Dancing".😀😀
that's where I recognize it from!!
Thank you! This song was used in the movie "Dirty Dancing". Such a great voice!
Absolutely positively a great song glad you guys got to it. You also must react to Aaron Neville his song Tell it like it is. These two songs are 60s classics!!!!
I have requested AARON NEVILLE several times. I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ his voice!! 👍🏻😃👍🏻
I love that song and I love to hear him sing he is awesome singer
Marc Broussard does a great job of giving tribute to Solomon on this song.There is a guy named Grayson Hughes who has that New Orleans sound that would be great to listen to, especially Talk It Over In Bed.
Love Marc!
Yes! Love Marc cover of this song, his voice gives me goose bumps he is awesome!
Marc Broussard does a awesome job with this song!
soloman burke had an amazing voice! him and jackie wilson could move through the vocal scales with so easy love the reaction. ; )
This was on the movie Dirty Dancing.. Patrick Swayze

I love this song. I know it best from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. It’s an awesome collection of songs….it’s 2 parts , so-a lot to love.
More of this Doo Wop please. 50's and 60's are the best ❤✌🇨🇦
Later in his career, he did some extraordinary country influenced songs, including the great "That's How I Got to Memphis ". Well worth checking out!!!

First time hearing this or of him!!! Like his voice and the way he conveys what he is saying!!! Thanks!
Two amazing great ones also by him are ..keep the magic working, and how many times listen to those !
One of my all time favorite songs! ❤️
Yes, the R&B Soul Musicians from that time can get up there for sure
The real thing! Millie and I were dancing around the living room. Jay I was doing that sorta jazz hand thing, and look up, and there you are joining in, lol!

“Everybody Needs Somebody to Love” was his classic that was covered by both The Rolling Stones and The Blues Brothers, but no one does it like the original.
He is one of the best singers ever. Try his song Don't Give Up on Me from his later years and another of his earlier greats Down in the Valley
One of the best songs ever! O. C Smith - Little Green Apples.
One of my favorite singers.
@@pattiturner0425 indeed!
I love this song so much. I bought it in 1962 and Atlantic records reigned supreme over the r & B stations. Driffers. Ben E. King, Percy Sledge just beore

Brought back so many memories...my husband when younger could move to this on the dance floor! 🕺
Back in 2011 I was in this dance class and this is the song we ballroom dance to and before that I've never heard of this song now it's my favorite song
One of the best songs ever written. Solomon kills it. Gives you that vibe if you get my meaning. It was in the movie Dirty Dancing. Legendary!
My first time hearing the bluesy Solomon Burke, loved his voice and the song. Reminded me of my man Jimmy, if you want some more great Rock n Blues, I have four words for you all, Jimmy Barnes, Stone Cold.
Speaking Of Good Old Blues/Soul Classics,,
Billy Stewart "I Do Love You"
This isn't the first time I've heard this singer, but this is the first time I've heard this particular song. Really enjoyed this. Thank you for introducing something new and good to me. Great reaction material too. Keep it up!
There Are Probably At Least A Thousand Videos Out There Of People From 6 To 60 Dancing To This Song & I Would Definitely Suggest Watching Some Of Them.
This is one of those feel good songs...gotta dance and sing along! This was one of my grammas favs back in the day...😊🥰😌
Great song. Another Solomon Burke song that I really like is "Home in Your Heart".
Aww that saucy moment in Dirty Dancing 😍!
There IS NO WAY anyone can stay idol hearing this....one of my favorite songs of all time RIGHT HERE ‼️‼️👏👏👏❣️❤️
As a person who was a teen in the 80s, thank you for calling the 50s the oldies. 😊
A Grand classic. Excellent request. Thank you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! His voice is so smooth. I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this one. Thx bunches. 💘💘💕💕
This song I believe was in Dirty Dancing Patrick Seaze’s dance was hot.
Can't hear this without thinking of Dirty Dancing. This song is on my iPhone playlist. Love his voice!
One of my favorite R&B songs of all time. Kudos to whoever recommended it.
Oh geez! Yes, you guys! Amazing!
? And The Mysterions (Question Mark)
"96 Tears"..A MUST HEAR Classic.
A lot of the early artists began singing in church
This Classic Suits Both Of Your Tastes In Music,, Sugarloaf "Green Eyed Lady"..A MUST HEAR..TRUTH!!
Rest in peace the great Solomon Burke. This song is unmatchable as far as soul music at its best.
Little Richard was popular long before this song came out which was 1962. It was one of my favorite soul sounds that year which also had Any Day Now by Chuck Jackson and Hide Nor Hair by Ray Charles and Losing Hand by Little Milton. All beautiful songs like no one makes any more.
This era was good then the Beatles came in with all the other Brits and changed everything. I love both eras equally well!!
Love this song!!!
This song is epic, chills 🤗
This is my favorite Solomon Burke song!!! I don't remember when it was first released in 1962. The first time I remember hearing it was in the movie " The Man from U.N.C.L.E. a 2015 spy film"
I don't think he got the recognition he deserves. A very soulful singer!
This took me right back to Dirty Dancing 🕺 🤣 a classic and fun movie
This is a great song!
Good song good reaction
This Soul Classic Was A Huge Hit When Released,, King Floyd "Groove Me"
LOVIN THIS TUNE FROM BACKIN MY DAY BIG SHOUT OUT TO THESE GUYS FROM DUB EIRE
Not really an “oldie”, but someone with the classic R&B/Soul sound is Delbert McClinton. “Thank You, Baby” or “Maybe Someday Baby” from the “Live In Austin” album is a great starting point. AMAZING horns in his band, too! There’s videos that show them performing it on Austin City Limits.
And, of course, Giving It Up For Your Love.
This song just reminded me of another artist to check out - Marc Broussard. He did a cover of this song and I think Mr. Burke would like his cover.
This song is such a vibe. Especially for those who first discovered it watching Dirty Dancing.
I’m so happy you’re finally hearing the great Solomon Burke! Have you heard Jackie Wilson yet? Wooo-eeee!
Omg, this song ALWAYS makes me feel a very specific way. 💕 awesome choice!!! I will forever be grateful to have bought the “Dirty Dancing” CD way back in the day!
What a cool sound and especially that voice. I actually only knew the song from the Rolling Stones but this one is great too. All thumbs up !
This is from movie dirty dancing when baby goes to his room and says...dance with me x
You asked for oldies ..well here's some. I noticed you guys haven't reacted to the Platters yet. Check out The Great Pretender, Only You (and You Alone), Twilight Time, My Prayer, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Also some Buddy Holly ...you guys will LOVE Rave On. As well as Maybe Baby, Oh Boy, and Everyday.
Everytime I hear this song, I think of Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey in the movie "Dirty Dancing". I've probably watched that movie 100 times!!❤️❤️
