This is probably my favorite one hit wonder of the 70's. Damn near perfect.
Yeah, who cares about hits. Michaels along with his 250lb drummer named Frosty put out several albums of great music and was a strong concert draw in the late 60s & early 70s.
Robert Plant said he was inspired by him in an award ceremony in the 70s...he was more than a 1 hit wonder & played in different bands
That organ he’s playing really makes this song a real gem.
Word is it is a Hammond B3. Hard to believe all this sound is from just 2 instruments . He does the bass part on the organ and then the drum set. Freakin' impressive.
Been a long time since I heard this. Love it. My generation definitely enjoyed all the best music.
That organ is amazing! Thanks for posting this song. A unique groove and style.
Yes, I lived thru the '50s, '60s & '70s Music Eras - they were great musical times!!
Yes. Me, too.❤
Wow this is an Oldie!! One of my many favorites!!
Omgosh. Songs I've not heard in YEARS. You are the best in reactions channels. No one comes close.
I always loved this great tune! If it doesn't get your feet moving, nothing will.
That is such a great song. I can't believe he never had another hit.
Stormy Monday and Can I get a witness.
He was too busy trying to find that other girl.
I don't think he tried very hard. From what I have read he had a lot of problems and just didn't seem to care. It's always baffled me too. Had the album and I still play that song. Just something about it.
I know, how did he not have another hit?
i think his remake of Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness" did okay.
In the early 70s, this was a huge hit. It's great to see your reaction.
Lee Michaels cover of "Stormy Monday " is epic!
It sure is!!

Thank you so much for this reaction Harri. Yes, we were so lucky to grow up with this music. If I had a time machine, I'd bring you with me sir. Do You Know What I Mean? :)
You so funny 🤣
Wow , haven't heard this in awhile . still remember the words , such a good song
So lucky to have my teenage years in the 70’s, best music ever!
Or in your 20s!
@@vandalayindustries3057 The 70's were absolutely great I agree, but apparently you weren't around in the 60's. In my opinion the 60's were even a little better. I'm sure we agree that music certainly went downhill after those two decades and have fallen to absolute crap in the 2000's. (apologies to Amy Winehouse and Haley Reinhart)

Lee's Tune', Who Could Want More ' is by far my favorite..... Peace
Grits ain't groceries is fun too I got see him live & he was Great
His biggest & best song!!
My cousin scored front row tickets to see Blood Sweat and Tears in Oakland California back in 1965. I was a young kid in the 5th grade, I think my uncle made my cousin take me but he was cool with it. Anyway Lee Michaels open the night. I think it was him playing keyboards and a drummer named Frosty. They blew me away, I had never been to a concert before. Whatta night! BS&T were amazing as well but I was truly amazed by Lee Michaels. Frosty did a solo using his bare hands in place of drum sticks till they bled. Never seen anything like it since. This was long before I did any type of drugs, was an impressionable kid. I can remember that night vividly. Thanks to my young cousin, we were close then but drifted apart. I miss him.
He rock it
They call him a one hit wonder. I’ve been doing business with him for 30 years. He used his mom’s spicy shrimp recipe and opened a place in L.A., the best shrimp ever!!! @KillerShrimp
Lee and Frosty likely didn't care too much about "hits".
th-cam.com/video/0Hq4RQvvFNw/w-d-xo.html
I like your channel because your taste in music is elevated far more than some of the others I watch. You tackle hits, deep cuts & B-sides.
I'm so glad you played this! I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice in the late sixties and he was one of the best live acts I've ever seen and I've seen the Stones, the Doors and Hendrix, etc. Just two people on the stage, Lee on the organ, and a drummer! Amazing, they didn't need a guitarist. I always felt he was totally under rated.
This is absolutely a great song
It truly was the best of times musically, so much diversity of genre's especially in 60's and 70's. Listening to your channel is like reliving my youth.
This song seemed to be everywhere on my first trip to the USA (1971). Later that decade (1979) it was Robert John with "Sad Eyes" 🥲
Harri, the more I visit channels such as yours (although none can compare!), the more I realize how incredibly fortunate I was to have been in my late teens and twenties in the 1970’s when there was soooo much incredible music to consume. Another thing that was great (and often overlooked) is that regular people like me could afford to go to live shows. Nowadays there is so much glitz and production involved in concerts that the ticket prices are prohibitive to us regular folks. Wow! Were we lucky?! Great reaction!🌺✌️
Harri, I'll be right there on that 70's time machine right with you!
Harry I'm 68 years old and I remember the sixties quite well yes the music was awesome but a lot of it was inspired buy a war called Vietnam every night the Muse would show you the young kids being carried out in body bags all in all it was an interesting time thanks for playing this song it brought back memories
Lee Michael's gospel-ish song "Heighty Hi" deserves a listen. It reminds me of Stevie Wonder.
We could have used you in the 70s, Harri. I think we would have had fun too. Great song. I’m glad you got to it.
One those songs for me that are great from start to finish. Absolutely loved this in 71, still do. Can hear this daily and never get tired. Thank you Lee and all others involved in this gem.
I thought Lee Micheals was my secret. Nobody but me knows about him. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Trust me, we know how lucky we were. If we forget, all we have to do is turn on a radio or Spotify, and we are reminded. We were blessed.
THE LATE 60'S EARLY 70'S THE MUSIC WAS REAL AND PURE! AND EVERYBODY HAD THEIR OWN SOUND.
That was a great one Harri, so much to like about this song. Oh, and it was a great time to be alive 🙃
Another one hit gem from the great, magical 70s. I was riding with my cousin in Charlotte, NC, when I first heard this jammin' tune. Great thing is that there has been nothing that sounds like this. Great job, Lee Michaels!
His little "hoo" he makes at the break gets me every time. Can't beat the garage band sound.
I loved this. Like him since 1977 when I found a tape at the store
Love this song - I remember hearing this on the radio when it first came. Such a groove.
Love it! I actually have this on my playlist along with another 70s classic Keep On Smilin'-Wet Willie..they take me back to my childhood😊 Keep On Rockin'
Great songs and great live
THANK YOU Harri......most of the other channels react to music that got old before they made their way onto the classic rock stations. Your channel always has some fresh stuff some where. I applaud you. I used to bartend and a lot of the music I hear on other channels got old and worn out in the early 70s. Thank you , man.
I really like this song!
LAWD! DO YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!
always loved this song... it's the only song I know by Lee Michaels
I was 14 when this song came out. Always was one of my favorites. Another song I think you'd love released that same year "Mr Big Stuff" by Jean Knight.
My 1st concert, Lee Michales & Grand Funk Railroad.
Harri, it was a great time to be alive. Amazing music. I was a fan of Lee Michaels. I also managed record shop/head shop at that time so had amazing access to great music. Thanks for the reaction.
I grew up with Lee Michaels and loved his album Barrel, and I still have the vinyl. "Uummmm My Lady" and "Murder In My Heart For the Judge" are great songs, but my favorite from this album is "Thumbs".
I always loved this song....a bit of a "one hit wonder". I was 11 or 12 years old when this came out. Great soulful delivery!
I was 14. I can still sing every word, haha
a one hit wonder lol Lee had a ton of great songs Heighty Hi or Stormy Monday or Tell Me How You Feel and it's just Lee Michales and his Drummer Frosty no band
@@johnlillis1161 or anything from Barrel. Murder in My Heart (for the Judge) for example.
I remember it blowing my 10 year old mind and not knowing who it was until I was about 18. Like it was all yesterday.
I see a trend, I was 13 years old!
Another great selection. I remember this from long ago...you know what I mean? 😆
I LOVED THIS SONG ALWAYS! I'M 63 YEARS OLD AND IT IS KICKIN!!!
I REMEMBER HEARING THIS SONG IN THE PETER SELLERS MOVIE, "I LOVE YOU, ALICE P. TOKLAS"
I have always thought of this as a super sexy song. I am old enough to remember when it came out. It’s a goodie!
I forgot about this song. Loved it then and still do. Good pick.
I know this song love it from when I was young never knew who sang it.. always loved it
Great song way back in my day!
I tend to associate this song with "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, which came out 2 years earlier, and occupied the same jukeboxes.
They were a year on either side of 1970. A sort of peak year for radio, soon to be gelded.
Thanks for getting right to it without minutes and minutes of talk!
Man I have not heard this song since the 70s.
This song, never gets tired, do you know what I mean???? I was so glad I was 16 when this came out. The music was awesome, and it was great!
Lee Michaels wasn’t a band. He was a recording artist
I saw Lee perform this live at the EastTown Theater in Detroit shortly after it was released in late 71. They blew the friggin' roof of that place. He did this incredible intro to "Stormy Monday" ... that Hammond and that Leslie were just smokin' hot! This song, Do ya know what I mean, actually paled in comparison.
One of my favorites from childhood, such a great song!
LAWD. but do you know what he means! GREAT one hit wonder from the 70'S the BEST DECADE FOR ONE HIT WONDERS
I had forgotten about this gem. Fantastic choice and great reaction!
I remember this song from the early 70s when I was in High School. Good song.
Lee Michaels now owns a chain of restaurants in Southern California called "Killer Shrimp".
He’s had a lot of really good songs, not just one. How many remember Murder In My Heart For The Judge? I like it even better than this one.
You gotta hear his STORMY MONDAY....BLUESY AND GREAT!!😎
So many of us loved this song and waited for more but it never came. I don't think he tried very hard. From what I have read he had a lot of problems and just didn't seem to care. It's always baffled me too. Had the album and I still play that song. Just something about it. It was great time to be alive everyday it was something new and fresh, original. Great show man.
Plaeas listen to Lee Michaels Stormy Monday. Brilliant organist. Lee use to do vocals, keyboard and bass on his Hammond organ whilst Frosty was the drummer. I saw him live in LA in 1970.
Apart from his perfomance he was famous for exploding your eardrums with his high C. It happened to me….
Lee Michaels is an American rock musician who sings & accompanies himself on Hammond organ, piano or guitar. He was big in the 70's. My favorite song by him is "Do You Know What I Mean". But he had a lot of great songs such as "Can I Get A Witness", "Carnival Of Life", "Stormy Monday", "Heighty Hi", "Tell Me How Do You Feel", "Went Saw Mama", "Keep The Circle Turning", "Mad Dog", "Hold On To Freedom" etc.
Great one Harri. Keep up the good work.
Great strong bass line and that little "woo" during the pause....awesome.
We still had AM radio in the 70's and it was still a great way to get exposed to different kinds of music. Unfortunately, it's days were numbered. Anyone who grew up on, or had long exposure to AM radio, probably has much more diverse musical taste than most people today. I really miss WLS and WCFL, and I really miss AM radio.
This is a good song
WOW HARRY, You sure did find yourself a Gem..A favorite of mine since I was 10 years old and one of the top prizes in my 40 year Record Collection..From Lees Album 5th...
I still have that album ✌️
👍
All of that sound from 1 drummer and 1 guy singing and beating the keys off of a Hammond organ. Whole song is on the backbeat.
I have not joined yet but would like to recommend a song. I recommended it to others but they never play it. The band is Little Feat-. The album is Waiting for Columbus . The song is Spanish Moon. It has Tower of Power on horns and there are congas and well...I consider it the best live Rock album ever
Harri, this was essentially a one hit wonder. It’s a great song! Glad you are enjoying it. I was researching Lee to use to recommend his restaurant! I saw all my reactor peeps covered it. I know Lee more from the restaurant didn’t know the song well, in my time. Now Killer Shrimp in Marina del Rey an area of Los Angeles. It’s a killer restaurant and I’ll be there on Sunday. I’ve gone countless times.
Great reaction and you will go nuts if you’re ever in L.A. and try the food! His son now runs the place as Lee is 77.
Thanks for this one Harri ! Haven’t heard it in a long time, it was such a great hit, the type of song people know all the words & sing along ☮️💜😎
This is my Lee Michaels story:
In 1971 when I was 19 years old, my friends and I went to go see Lee Michaels in concert at the Long Beach Arena. We didn't have very good seats. We were on the second-tier to the side of the stage almost behind all of the amplifiers and our view of Lee was blocked by all of that gear. What made it worse was Lee Michaels sits at his keyboards during the whole show since he plays while singing and all we could see was the back of his head. How annoying!! The good thing was the stage was real high off the floor and where we were sitting, the stage was about five feet below us. Well, this nineteen-year-old long-haired dude suddenly had some huevos and I got up off my seat, headed right for the rail, went over it like Spider-Man and climbed down onto the stage while Lee Michael's was performing. As fast as I could, I ran towards him with my hand out. He turned and looked at me and without missing a note he reached out and shook my hand. The crowd really roared . It was awesome . As fast as I could, I hightailed it back to the rail, climbed up jumped right on over and took my seat. It didn't take long for security to come and get me. They escorted me out and I was banned from the Long Beach Arena for a year. Oh well I wasn't able to finish the concert but I can say that I was honored to shake Mr. Michaels hand. I'm 70 years old now and I think that what I did back then with no regard, not thinking twice about my actions which caused a disruption during a concert. Shame on me. But at the age of 19 we are all a little brain-dead. The thought of me jumping over a rail and climbing back over makes my bones hurt thinking about that today
Lee Michales is one of those guys that was here for a minute & gone now for years. It is almost impossible to find any info on where he is or what he is up to nowadays. Rumors have floated for years that due to his concerts & his amps being set so loud, that he went deaf. There are also rumors that he is in Hawaii.
If you are interested in a bit more from him, I'd like to suggest what may be the most heartfelt anti- war song ever. He has a song simply titled The War that is still applicable today. Give that one a listen.
I heard this for the first time in the summer of 68 on an underground rock station in Philadelphia.The summer of 68 was larger than life for me because of this astounding cultural event that was happening around me.
I loved this song when I was young. Didn't hear it for many years, but thanks to social media it's back! Good one.
Some good rock n roll there.
Lee bought a music store in my home town after he retired from playing. I owned a piano moving business, so I did a lot of work for him. If you didn't know his background you would not have suspected it . He looked like a perfectly normal suburban dad.
It"s a great piece of music.
Another great song you might want to check out with a similar feel as this one is "Musta Got Lost" by the J. Geils Band.
I still have this single from the time it came out and later got his album. I beg to differ with the one-hit-wonder idea because as much as I love this song, I'm even more impressed with his version of "Can I Get a Witness?" which he released after this one. You should definitely check that one out. For more blue-eyed soul. I'm going to urge you to listen to Lulu's "Oh Me, Oh My" (again), Chi Coltrane's "Thunder & Lightning" and Valerie Carter's cover of "Ooh, Ooh, Child" for more timeless gems. Lee really was/is righteous! How can a Hammond organ sound so funky?
Hi Harri ... One of my favorite songs. What I caught my attention, way back when it came out was, he actually gives HER side of the story in a fair way.
I don't know if this song made me this way or if I was already this way, but even when I am asking friends for their opinions about a argument/fight I've had with someone ... a friend, a stranger/group or even my "significant other", I always try to explain BOTH sides. Then, I ask them their thoughts about it (i.e. if 1 or both of us were right or wrong) ... because I never just want them to agree with me because we're friends. I honestly want to know. If I'm wrong, I WANNA be corrected, so the next time, I WILL be right, then and from that point on.
Another great song Harri. Its a really good sing a long song 😁
i just wanted to inform you, Lee Michaels is a solo,,single artist. this smash hit of his is from April of 1971.
Love it! Hadn't heard it in so long- thanks
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most of his music was just him on the organ and a drummer(I think, named Frosty)
Harri, glad yr digging this as much as I did actually since 1971. Loved it then, still do. Really happenin song! Unfortunately a one hit wonder. Believe he had a few songs out tho nothing like this. Another great one hit wonder same year was SWEET MARY by Wadsworth Mansion. No one reacted to that ever I believe You know what I Mean one reaction.
Always one of my favorites ❤️🔥
Thank you Harri! I grew up on this and haven't heard it in years...you rock👍👍 Much love Brother😎🇺🇸
Yes a gem, my mom had this album, I've loved it since I was 10-11 years old. Another gem of a one hit wonder from the time is Jonathan Edward's cover of Bob Dylan's "Sunshine"
Great pic, reminds me of Junior high school days.
