Brings back some great memories. Best song at the club (Disco) from back in my day. The music was hot the girls were hotter and everyone just got along and had fun.
@@kevinhaylett I've been trying to get some of these guys to listen to a group, well really an organization called Plying For Change. With a song like The Weight. Go give them a like. They help underprivileged kids around the world. Let me know what you think.
@@mikecaetano I’m with yah, and the disco ball was spinning. This was released in 1978, those were the best days of my life. Got married the following year.
I Remember a time in the 70s when my best friend had a girlfriend from Ghana, we had some good parties that time with friends from Ghana, they loved Hot Chocolate, we never thought of black or white, only had a good time together. Greetings from Germany
Errol Brown once re-recorded a John Lennon song and sent the tape to him. John was so impressed, he helped get the group a recording contract with his label
Hot Chocolate - another group from the 70s/80s we took for granted. They had hit after hit and it's only now we can see how great they were. Rip Errol Brown.
@@teddyritola2655 Mate, you do know that Hot Chocolate are a UK band, don't you? If so, a cursory look at their Wikipedia page will tell you that they had 7 Top Twenty hits in the UK during the 1980s. Not everything's about America you know.
Okay, as soon as I saw the title I was like "How many seconds before he makes the face, then how many after that before the chair gets pushed back". Did not disappoint! :D Great song choice.
Origin: West Hampstead, London. Had at least one hit every year 1970 to 1984. Much loved Errol Brown, 71, died of liver cancer in the Bahamas. The band had hits in over 50 countries.
5:32 "What is this...the SEVENTIES, right?" To the most seventies song ever written. Haha! Glad you got to enjoy this and share it with the class. One of the all time greats!
Hey Jamel! A great example of British/Euro funk & soul from the 70's. This song is a drop dead, never - fail classic. Like you said, you can't help but groove to it! ☮ out, Jamel!
OMG my childhood, when they played Hot Chocolate, Paul McCartney, Chicago, America, the Commodores, etc all on the same radio station, so there was no need to search, it was ALL there. There's a Scottish band called "Scotch Chocolate" who sing a version of this that is hilarious and pretty darn good at the same time
Errol Brown was the coolest guy, they have loads of hits for you to do. Massive band in UK though to end of the 80’s Check them out some more! Please!!!!
You should check out some of the Isley Brothers jamz from the 70’s.. I’ve never researched it or anything, but I know that groovy sound! I know you’ve heard “Who’s That Lady?”, by the Isleys.. they used in one of those swiffer ads where the housewife is breaking up with her mop.
I love this song. British band. They wrote and released the original version of Brother Louie, which you reacted to a long time ago by Stories. Errol Brown, The lead singer has such an interesting voice. You probably know “You Sexy Thing”.
How could you not do Hot Chocolate “Sexy Thing” (I Believe in Miracles) first?!?? You HAVE TO DO IT!! (of course then I will have to think of Full Monty 😂)
Oh you must do Brother Louis about a black n white relationship with both sides' parents wading in; they were HUGE in the UK and no, you could not resist dancing to this band. Oh and Emmeline and the one about aliens and flying saucers! Love ya. x
When I was a kid, other kids were listening to teenie bopper songs from the 80s/90s, but my mom showed us all of these greats on 45s. This was one of her favorite songs.
Hot Chocolate was an amazing group. This tune is timeless, it bridged the gap between Disco, Soul, Funk,, Rock and Pop like no one else. And that riff is still amazing. Then add the brass, the backup singers, and the hard hitting bass and you have a masterpiece. Easily one of the best songs of all time.
Hey Jamel- how about you do “you sexy thing” by them too?! They also have a good one called “Emma!” Another great! And another HIT groove I grew up on is by Yarborough & Peoples “Don’t stop the music!” It’s also a must..Pleease, Please! ❤️👍✌️
“You don’t really wanna stop.. Nooooooo”. Thanks for dropping that one on here.. one of my favorite Jamz, right there with “Juicy Fruit”, among many others..
The late, GREAT Errol Brown. What a singer, what a man. One of the greatest songs of all time, the guitar riff and Errol’s unmistakable vocals make it so. So very sadly missed.
I squealed when I saw this notification! I 💘 this song! It's one of my happy songs. When I'm feeling down or agitated, I turn this up. You cannot help but smile and move when this is playing.
You realise you are the cool uncle now Jamel? People thinking ... "damn, check out Jamel with his cool outfit, the moves, the rhythm". That's you right there.
Fun Fact: The Beatles discovered them and signed them first to their record company Apple Records. The Beatles broke up and along with James Taylor and them, had to jump ship. Both had success in their own way. Rock soul funk!
The back up singers AND the horn section were amazing.... great dancing song; me and the wife would disco to this song every Friday night... great memories!
From time to time I used to walk a half a block to my local hamburger stand, order, then start the outdoor jukebox and repeatedly play this song until I left. It was always a good experience.
I was in 8th grade and roller skating.......or should I say trying to not fall off of my roller skates, when this came out! What great memories, thanks for reviewing this fun song!!
Errol and the guys were fantastic! I remember my mum seeing him in a pub in Highgate, London around 1978 and going crazy for him, I was about 10 years old! A tit bit for you is that it was Bob Marley who got him his start when he introduced him to his producer in London. These were the best times ever! Thanks for memories Baby X
You might want to check out a band called: "Cake' doing a song called 'Short Skirt Long Jacket'! The video is basically the 1st reaction video ever made before TH-cam was a thing!
I LOVE the reaction on your face! This is exactly what this song did for me back in the late 70's. I was just 11, and I went out and purchased the single with my hard-earned pocket money and played the record to death. Here in Britain it was really hard to get to see and hear American-sounding pop/soul/R&B records on British TV/Radio. There was Diana Ross and Donna Summer but that was essentially it. 'Every 1's a winner' made Errol Brown a British soul superstar. Well deserved Errol!
As long as he reads the lyrics to Miracles when he does it.. and it should definitely be the studio version. Miracles is probably one of the most forwardly sexy and passionate songs ever recorded. Absolutely irresistible.. I’d venture to guess that a lot of kids born in the 70’s were conceived to that song.
It saddens me when I hear what passes for music these days. Nothing better than a band playing instruments with an awesome lead singer, a funky beat, and great lyrics.
Requesting Sexy Thing, Miracles & Brother Loui, which was also released at the same time by the American group Stories. Hot Chocolate is a British group.

Listening to this reaction, but had to mention Hot Chocolate - Emma.....one of their all time classic hits!!! A must listen!

Well now it’s gotta be “you sexy thing” by them, you’ll know it lol
I believe in miracles
AMEN!!!!
"You Sexy Thing" was for SURE in the movie Boogie Nights
Yes. It would be great to see Jamal react to Ian Dury and the Blockheads "Wake up and make love to me" too
Yes😀❤️✌️🌼
Imagine being on roller skates in a rink with this song blasting! And being 10 years old. Dude it was awesome back in the day
It was😃
Yesss! Exact same- age and all!
Heh, heh, heh, no need to imagine for me, just got to remember before the memories fade... [grin]
@@mikecaetano I’m with yah, and the disco ball was spinning. This was released in 1978, those were the best days of my life. Got married the following year.
I can imagine but I was like 12 and loved to roller skate.
One of the best guitar riffs ever created
I had forgotten how good this song was.
And that bass.
Drum n Bass before today's yoof thought they invented it.
Your punishment is to sit in a car with this on full vol on repeat ;)
@@dtulip1 punishment? Hell, I'd voluntarily do that every day. I LOVE THIS BAND AND THIS SONG.
On an endless loop...
Don’t forget “You Sexy Thing” from Hot Chocolate
I believe in miracles
It is called “I Believe in Miracles”
@@johnszostowski767 and @Rachel-in-the-208 -- Nope. It's called "You Sexy Thing." Search for it in TH-cam.
@@Historian212 yep - I already owned up to my mistake on here ☺️
Of course !
Great band - singer Errol Brown is sadly passed now. So many hits in the UK
They have a pretty good replacement that looks a little like him and sounds like him too.
@@garyjordan2019 yes I've seen them live with him, he is good.
@@fab208athome Such a unique voice, it was a blessing they can continue to entertain and keep it sounding as if Errol was still in the band.
EMMA Was their greatest song!
@@fab208athome that guitar player is baaad ass!
Anyone remember Emma? It's a tear jerker. Love Hot Chocolate!
Yes!!!!! Emma, Emma Jean.. if I recall that.. Definitely remember it and “you sexy thing” and this one!
Great video to that one.
Oh yes! Still have my Big Tree label 45 of "Emma" from 1974...
THIS IS WHY IM VERY PROUD TO BE A 70s Brat , THE dance music KICKED ASS HARD LOL
Yep..and still have the album it is on. Cicero Park.. Enjoy it

Ford Capri :D FLARES...shirts & blouses with pointy collars that a stiff wind would poke your eye out :'D
Correct
We sure did have the best music in the 70's. Awesome music.🎶
"So You Win Again" is hands down their best song. This has been proven in the Court of Funk.
That’s my favorite. I love great melodies and that song’s melody is gorgeous.
Do you promise the funk?
The whole funk, and nothin’ but the funk?? :D

What a great song! I haven't heard it in a long time. 😕☺☮🔥❤
This is my fav tune from Hot Chocolate! The grooviest song 💗
How have you never heard this one lol? I love this song, and this is coming from a metal head lol
Kinda rock, pop & disco. Hot Chocolate appealing to everyone.
‘The Real Thing- you to me are everything’ is a must, huge hit in the U.K. around the same time as this I believe
Yes!!!! One of my all time favourites.
Great one 👌 😊
You to me are everything, the sweetest song that I could sing. Oh baby oh baby. Is that it?
@@eviekelpie1 that’s the one
Yes finally i been waiting for this song have you listen sexy thing by hot chocalate
Did you ever see that cartoon with the mouse singing You Sexy Thing?
The song is actually called “I Believe in Miracles” ... @donaldandbecki did you ever see the movie Full Monty? 😉
@@rachel-in-the-208 the song is called you sexy thing
@@evagelinadicante9840 yes ... I was wrong. I was convinced I was correct, but I was wrong. I own up to it 😉
One of the first - and only! - guitar riffs played on the Roland guitar-synth. It took me years back then to understand how he got that TONE!
Really? I remember roller skatin to that riff.
You should check out some of the Isley Brothers jamz from the 70’s.. I’ve never researched it or anything, but I know that groovy sound!

😂 Yes great choice😀❤️✌️🌼
Hot Chocolate. Now you’re talkin’.
And “Emma!”
In the queue for the dole...
I can't hear that song without thinking of Full Monty! 🤣
Damn that is the coolest, smoothest riff I’ve heard in a long time. That dude singing has slick moves too.
One of the better disco songs..
This is NOT Disco...it's funk
You got to got to get into their classix Emmaline and Brother Louie too !!! Hot Chocolate are so damn rock n funk it's bootylishus
Brother Louie was covered by another band called Stories.
Wow i have not heard this in FOR EVER!!!!
Craziest thing, I just watched this reaction and I walk back into work and it's playing throughout the hotel I work in lol
Oh Yes ! My Mum loved this group ! I believe in Miracles , So You win Again and It started with a kiss ! 🔥 😊👌😎
Oh you must do Brother Louis about a black n white relationship with both sides' parents wading in; they were HUGE in the UK and no, you could not resist dancing to this band. Oh and Emmeline and the one about aliens and flying saucers! Love ya. x
He did that one, but it’s been a while back.. you gotta search his videos way back for that one.
I must have listen to this song about 15 times since last week. Always down for some Hot Chocolate!
Yes! You finally got around to this tune. Such a sick groove.
Errol Brown was the singer. He sadly passed away in 2015
When I was a kid, other kids were listening to teenie bopper songs from the 80s/90s, but my mom showed us all of these greats on 45s. This was one of her favorite songs.
I am so glad I grew up from the mid 70’s to the early 80’s. Some of the best music made.
Great reaction!! Next do Brothers Johnson Strawberry Letter 23!
To me this is not a "disco" song, this is finest rock´n roll ... yeahhh
Let’s do you sexy thing by Hot Chocolate next, you’ll defyknow it when you hear it! TFS!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing this. I had forgotten about them. Also thanks for keeping music alive.
I know I always want to dance to this song.
"It started with a kiss" and " Emma Emily" Another innovative band to come out of UK in the 70s.
Emaline?
Just 'Emma'
"Emma" is the official name of the song. But they do sing "Emmaline" in it as well...
The lead singer was really uncomfortable with being a sex symbol ( his wife thought it was hilarious )
That's so sweet because most of them love it.
Didn't know that, but that's AWESOME ! LOL GO ON GIRL !
He was a lovely lovely man
At last - absolute quality and RIP Errol Brown
Only thing missing are the sweet-souled sistahs laying down the killer background vocals!
Fr Fr
We used to skate our butts off to this song
The producer(s) spent a long time making the vocals as clear and clean as possible.
That producer is Mickie Most, the same guy who also produced The Animals, Donovan, and Herman's hermits, among others.

$5 says he already knows it.
You are probably right...
Haha it's in your head now. I love this song. I used to have the album
Let's keep the 70's heat up with a reaction to Heatwave's Groove Line. I see you already reacted to their song Boogie Nights.
This song makes the hair on my arms stand up EVERY TIME.
The most awesome bass...incredible.
Hot Chocolate was much more popular in the UK than they were in the USA.
And in Holland too!
Very true.
Yes, but they did have a couple of big hits in the US: You Sexy Thing and this one.
And popular here in Australia too
@@Ingens_Scherz ~ And *"Emma"* too...
You gotta check out “Ain’t going to bump no more” by Joe Tex

Fun Fact: The Beatles discovered them and signed them first to their record company Apple Records. The Beatles broke up and along with James Taylor and them, had to jump ship. Both had success in their own way. Rock soul funk!
The guitar riffs are so magic. What a track this is, Errol was brilliant.
This was my roller skating jam back in 1978-79!!!! Everything about this song is TIGHT!!!!
Imho I think this is one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time.
People laugh when I say that...screw them 🤣🤣
Everyone's a winner baby, that's the truth.

one of if not the best guitar rifts ever!
Hot Chocolate had some great songs. “Emma”, “You Sexy Thing” and “So You Win Again”.
Such a great bass! Thanks Jamel. Need you to do Rise by Herb Alpert and Miracles by Jefferson Starship.
As long as he reads the lyrics to Miracles when he does it.. and it should definitely be the studio version.
Miracles is probably one of the most forwardly sexy and passionate songs ever recorded.
Absolutely irresistible.. I’d venture to guess that a lot of kids born in the 70’s were conceived to that song.
I saw these in 1975 and I remember them playing a song called Emma. Classic song and brilliant band.
I thought this was just the FUNKIEST Tune , since Stayin Alive!!🎼 And Your Right!! If you hear this song Starting, You Just GOTTA Move,and Groove!!
It saddens me when I hear what passes for music these days. Nothing better than a band playing instruments with an awesome lead singer, a funky beat, and great lyrics.
There was some truly awful stuff back in the day too 🤣
Sounds EXACTLY like what people in the 1970s were saying about big band music compared to all that electric "music" noise.
Requesting Sexy Thing, Miracles & Brother Loui, which was also released at the same time by the American
group Stories. Hot Chocolate is a British group.
