This is an alternative rock band that came out of SF. Linda Perry the singer has wrote songs for Christina Aguerlina, Gwen Stefani and Pink. She also contributed to albums by Adele and Alicia Keys. Was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame in 2015. She is very talented.
I've heard it many times over but it was always just in the background at some bar. I'm a hippie and have closed myself off as far as listening to new music and that's unfortunate. I actually really listened to it this time and you're right, it's definitely dope! I almost didn't click on it but then I thought if Biz can listen to it then so can I. I'm glad I did! Peace
@@timlenard1646 For me, it's pretty much anything after the 70's with the exception of a few groups such as AC/DC. It's my interpretation. It doesn't have to be yours.
This whole album is great. Check out Dear Mr. President, Spaceman and Morphine And Chocolate to name a few. The band does have one male, Roger on guitar. They didn't last long, but Linda Perry, lead singer and song writer went on to have a pretty lucrative solo career and is still going. ✌️
One of the greatest one hit wonders ever with that classic chorus. They broke up after this because the lead singer wanted to go a new direction each album and her band mates refused, so she quit. Now just writes for the likes of Pink.
@@pilsplease7561 did u see that in an interview?? because I both read the details and HEARD her tell an interviewer in a face to face sit down interview when asked why she left 4 Non Blondes.....and I quote Linda: " 4 non blondes wanted to do basically the same record again and I wanted to something a little more risky, you know, not so pop...and my band mates wanted to be safe." So I do not believe what you wrote at all.
They only sing "What's Going On" in the video. I believe they named it "What's Up" because Marvin Gaye had a famous song called "What's Going On" and maybe they didn't want any confusion about the songs.
I have always loved this song. Her voice is amazing! I’m really happy to see you reacting to it. The band was originally all women. Linda Perry is the really pretty lady singing What’s Going On? She also wrote the song. She is a song writer and producer. There is a lot about her in Wikipedia.
Most unique voice I ever heard in my 60 years of music listening! I love her voice, the song all good for me. Unfortunately their a one hit wonder. Linda Perry is also a great songwriter wrote for Pink, a few others. I hope she still sings, great voice. Could no doubt do great covers of Janis Joplin's songs and more great singers of the past. Best success on yr channel
Kate Bush for me most unique voice in music. Took me 10 years too get past her voice and listen too her. Kate is a acquired taste for sure but man the woman can do some crazy shit. Love me some Kate Bush. Linda Perry has that quirk too her.. lady can sing and write a tune for sure.
Oh yes, Linda Perry is a national treasure. This song was a huge hit in the pre-grunge early 90s. We used to put it on repeat and drive around with the windows down blaring this. 😆❤️
Dang it, late to the party! UGH!!🤦♀️ So bummed I didn't get to it last night, but Straight off the top.... your reaction wasn't what I expected, and I LOVE IT!!🤗 I figured you'd like the song, but it wouldn't necessarily be your vibe. I'm so glad I was wrong and, holy crap😳.... you really surprised me with your compliment on Linda Perry (lead singer)!! WTH??!! I would've never thought you'd think she was cute (and she was/is!!) and that you'd like her "quirkiness" (for lack of a better term! lol!!).... that's awesome and good on you!! I've always thought she was adorable as hell and just loved her free spirit. As an aside: if were a dude.... she'd probably be my type!!😉 Just saying!😁 Anywhoo, as much as I love this song, the band was short-lived. They don't have a catalogue to dive into. To put my love of this song into perspective, if there was a tally of exactly how many times I've intentionally turned this one on.... I'd probably be embarrassed!! But the lead singer, Linda Perry is still HUGE in the music world!!! She has at least 2 record companies (that I know of!) and through the years she has signed and produced MANY records for HUGE artists such as Alicia Keys, Adele, Pink and SOOOO many more... I think she even produced at least one record for Courtney Love🤮🤮🤮 Sorry, I don't like Courtney!! (she was the wife of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana's lead singer). K, now that you've touched on the 90's, another killer female artist from that decade who DOES have a catalogue of hits is.... MELISSA ETHERIDGE!! She's a rocker chick and her voice is freaking INSANE!!🤯 If you add Melissa to your list of artists to check out, my thoughts (for whatever it's worth! lol!!) for your introduction to her is.... "LIKE THE WAY I DO" LIVE at Pink Pop 1990. Official music video is fine if you must... but I'll be mad at you!! Just kidding (sort of!)😜 TRUST me, Melissa's vocal performance in that live MORE than matches the studio track (it's WAY better IMO), so seeing her do that performance will NOT ruin a future reaction to the studio version!! It's OFF the chain and you'll get to see what she's all about!!👏👏👏 She's a hell of guitar player too!! K. there's my pitch so I'll shush now!!😂 Great reaction as always Biz!! See ya on the next one....😎❤
Pope Francis invited Patti Smith to sing at at a Christmas concert at the Vatican. There's a recording of her singing the Christmas song O Holy Night. It's great.
To sum it all up this was the forefront of girl power in the 90s. A decade of change i was happy and privileged to witness in real time. In terms of music the 90s were like a sequel to the 60s
TRUST ME On This One My Music Lovin Brother,, This ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE Will Blow Your Mind,, Alabama Shakes"Don't Wanna Fight" (Official Video - Live From Capital Studio A) ..A MUST HEAR!!
Amazing n the best reaction,so next reaction acustic cover Dimas Senopati cover what's up 4 non blondes,stil loving you scorpion,LED zeppelin starway the heaven cover acustic Dimas senopati
Interesting thing.. the singer, after this band, went on to write and produce a lot of songs for female artists in the late 90s early aughts. Nelly Furtado, Pink I think, maybe even early Katy Perry, though I might be wrong. She became a major songwriter, even though she wasn't in the spotlight anymore. Great artist, even though in the background.
"Completely out of the Crayon Box." That's her all right 👍 Aside from her solo career she wrote for so many other top artists and performed with others and got MANY awards. ... You might like Patti Smith, a real groundbreaking hardcore rock original. She sang a Christmas song at the Vatican, no lie, invited by the pope. It was great. Maybe you could have a rock and roll Christmas series 🙃
This song holds up pretty well. Linda Perry's vocal gymnastics are impressive. Also... He-Man from the Masters of the universe does a dope cover of this. I'm not even joking it is amazing
You earned my like and subscribe with this video. Future suggestion: check out “Joey” by Concrete Blonde. The lead singer Johnette Napolitano has a voice that’ll melt you.
I hate the fact she named her band 4 Non Blondes because it confuses people when I talk about Concrete Blonde. But this was a massive crossover hit on the pop charts, which Concrete Blonde never quite had, so I gotta give them that.

Hell of vocalist too imo

I'm not sure what you consider "new" music but this song came out in 1992, its 30 years old...

@@bubba2378 Right on!
I've only heard this one song but her voice is amazing and that, out of the crayon box comment had me rolling on the floor.

Spaceman is always on anytime I’m deep in my emotions & feeling out of place.

No doubt she can do great covers of Janis Joplin's songs! Or power singers like Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane
"just" lol. She's a top-tier writer for top-tier artists...
she quit because she wasnt comfortable with her band mates not coming out cause shes a lesbian and that she felt that was creating tension in the band

She was really pretty, and she has a hell of a voice, I like female rock or alternative rock singers.
This song (and video) is definitive early 90’s San Francisco. Doc Martins, Flannel, Skate Boards, Motorhead t-shirts.
I know because I was there 😁
“Completely out of the crayon box” Lmao! I love ya, Biz

Her style is a little Steam Punk.
The power of Linda Perry's voice is amazing.
4 NonBlondes are a jamming band! This song put them on the map! Fun reaction as always Biz!! Keep smiling!
I think you’d like Patti Smith. Check out her song People Have the Power. The Choir Choir version is really amazing.
Pope Francis invited Patti Smith to sing at at a Christmas concert at the Vatican. There's a recording of her singing the Christmas song O Holy Night. It's great.
To sum it all up this was the forefront of girl power in the 90s. A decade of change i was happy and privileged to witness in real time. In terms of music the 90s were like a sequel to the 60s

Completely out of the crayon 🖍️ box .. ha ha 😆 .. luv that lad~ 👍🙏
Yes young brother 30 years ago we were asking ourselves what's going on
Not only women and What’s Up isn’t even in the song so I don’t get where it came from. This women has a voice!!
Linda Perry the singer of this song, is a very prolific song writer. she wrote a shit tonn of songs for all these pop stars including Brittany spears
I love my 90's music p!nk and I shared this song
This is their one hit, they put out this album and I think a second. She then went into producing and continued songwriting.
There are 2 Huge songs: "Mighty lady"(4 non blondes) and Fly Away (as I remember it was recorded after Linda left the group). Highly recommended.
This album was being recorded during the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
Amazing n the best reaction,so next reaction acustic cover Dimas Senopati cover what's up 4 non blondes,stil loving you scorpion,LED zeppelin starway the heaven cover acustic Dimas senopati

I think it’s actually 3 very lucky non blonds that met Linda Perry.
They do an excellent cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Misty Mountain Hop'. It was on a LZ tribute album and IMO it was easily the best song on the album.
Great nostalgia I can still feel today. ❤
"out of the crayon box". I like it!
This song holds up pretty well. Linda Perry's vocal gymnastics are impressive.
Also... He-Man from the Masters of the universe does a dope cover of this. I'm not even joking it is amazing
Yes he does. Even Skeletor has a few lines in it on
This song is classic now.
In 1964 Nina Simone wrote and sang a song called "Mississippi God Damn after 4 little girls were murdered. Please react to it .
Amazing voice and performer.
Is still my song i believe 90's music
Check out Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa live at the Beacon Theater doing "I'll take care of you" Very Impressive
You earned my like and subscribe with this video. Future suggestion: check out “Joey” by Concrete Blonde. The lead singer Johnette Napolitano has a voice that’ll melt you.
This song rips off Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" beat for beat, note for note. They just slowed it down.
On my Mount Rushmore of songs. Unfortunately, I think they were one hit wonders.
Check out the Cleverlys bluegrass version of this song it's very entertaining and funny!
Eh from Canada , your guess was political is pobably right. I always figured it would be a good song at a funeral , it is slow enough.
Please do more 4 non blondes and Linda Perry reactions. She's a great talent! 🥇💎🦸🎸🎹🎩🎤
Out of the crayon BOX PMSL
Great song!
love that comment. definately will not find her color in the crayon box RIP
Love this song! 💖
☮️💜

Concrete Blonde were great, 4 Non Blondes....not so much.
Crazy
Better off checking out L7 bricks are heavy.
Hey Biz love your channel bro and if you’re looking for good female talent you really should check out Susie Quatro lead vocalist and bassist. 🔥⚡️💙😎👍
👍🏼
check out LP for great female artist!
Yeah Biz she may be cute but trust me you have the wrong plumbing if ya know what I mean...

The ultimate feminist song.
Lmfao! Now you gotta look at He-man sings What's going on. Please you don't Even have to react to it. Just gotta do it
Lotta people call this song hey ya ya ya too lol
