Lead singer Mark King, is a brilliant bass player. Level 42 are funky and a staple of British and radio in the 80s and not a boy band at all!
They’ve come a long way but still have a lot to learn.
Definitely not a boy band.
Level 42 were a jazz funk band with U.K. hits from 1981 to 1987
The best group to ever come out of the Isle of wight ❤
If you listen to a really good bass player he doesn’t compare at all. This is watered down funk
Love Level 42. Running In The Family is such a solid album!!
I agree. I would add "Staring At The Sun," "True Colours" and a later release "Forever Now" on which they added horns.
Children Say too
Yes it is!! One of the greatest albums of 87. Still have my LP.
This is not a boy band, this is a very good 80s funky pop group of the highest quality .
well technically it is a boy band since the four original members were all boys - but yeah i know what you mean just couldn't resist😂
these 'boys' do not have a feeble voice like most boy bands do.@@Generalbas1972
YOU’RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY TALENTED ! Lol
Boys bands tend to only sing not play own instruments
You are so right!!!
Not a boy band... They are a Bands band! The vocals, the Bass, the musicianship! Pure Talent and Craftsmanship! And still performing! Awesome Band!
I agree they are not a boy band. But are you saying they can't be a boy band because they are British? I hope not because you also gave the world Take That and Boyzone. lol
Boyzone ain’t British!
Level 42...just pure talented musicians...great catalog..Mark is great vocalist and bassist.."Leaving me now",is a epic composition
I agree. I always wanted the piano solo to be longer. It is why I like the live version.
My fave by them
ditto
Living it up - the sun goes down. Make that you’re next Level 42 track!
They are a band’s band! They all play their instruments and sing impeccably! Pure musicians.
Great group I listened to in High School
Level 42 is from the Isle of Wight. Their lead vocalist (Mark King) is also the bassist and performs with a "slap"-style technique originally credited to funk bassist Larry Graham and further developed by jazz great Stanley Clarke. This is one reason why Level 42 is often given credit to its funk and jazz origins.
I had never known about his bass playing technique until someone mentioned it in a comment that I read. So I searched and found a live performance video for this song and his playing just blew me away. I had never seen anyone play the bass that way before. It was utterly amazing.
@@donnakubiski5572when you watch Mark play slap bass. One of his formative music experiences was seeing mauvishta orchestra who are a free jazz group on tv.
@@fayesouthall6604 Mahavishnu Orchestra. Stanley Clarke was the bassist.
Level 42 are still touring. I saw them in Cambridge last year and they are awesome live!
Congratulations. I'm in the USA and haven't seen them in decades! Huge fan still! Enjoy!
@@seanswinton6242US ... terrible!! Hope u guys vote right next time!!!🎉🎉🎉
'Something about you' is my favourite of Level 42 songs.
They reacted to that one a few months ago!
"Hot Water" .... "Children Say" .... "Heaven in our Hands" .... "The Sun goes Down" ...."Guaranteed" .... All outstanding Level 42 tracks .....
This song was a big hit in 87, my first year in college. I don't even remember the last time I heard it, but holy cow, the memories just came flooding back. I loved them back then, but hearing them now in my 50s, I have such a greater appreciation! Thank you!
"Children Say", another fine Level 42 track.
Level 42 and Talk Talk. Two of the 80's best bands. Both featured great musicianship.
Indeed, and both criminally underrated in retrospect. They don't get the recognition today for being such a significant part of the early and mid 1980s especially, as they should do.
Listen to the slap bass of the genius Mark King. 😁
I'm glad you love them. I would never classify Level 42 as a boy band, though.
How insulting! 😮
Well they are an all-male band, but then so are Slipknot!
If you insist. We certainly weren't calling them a boy band in 1984. Boy bands are, generally speaking, heavy on the choreography.
@@trickygoose2 😆
Level 42 were on their own "level"! The lead singer, who is also the bassist, was considered one of the best bass guitar player in the world. These guys are just pure and great musicians! Little nugget of info: The 12" version of this song is still to this day the record I use to test out my sound system. The production and the recording quality of that 12" is beyond incredible! Sounds better than pretty much every other record I own, and sounds better than most recordings of these days. Just a great song in all aspects!!!!!
Awesome band,absolutely love level 42,mark of a great band is that their songs still stand up today as they did then,lyrical and musical geniuses.
Such a classic 80's hit. Very polished and groovy. Agree with Amber this is very accomplished music, it's not just a teenie bopper boy band. They have talents.
Other 80s acts to check out, Go west - call me, we close our eyes; Bodeans - you don’t get much, only love, closer to free; David and david - welcome to the boomtown, swallowed by the cracks, ain’t so easy; Abc - when smokey sings, be near me; Hothouse flowers (irish) - I’m sorry, don’t go, give it up; The alarm (welsh) - rain in the summertime, sold me down the river; World party - ship of fools, all come true, way down now, put the message in the box; The call - let the day begin, the walls came down, I still believe, everywhere I go; Thompson twins - lies, lay your hands on me; The motels - total control; Romeo void - a girl in trouble, never say never; Thomas dolby - I love you goodbye, Europa and the pirate twins, I love you goodbye; Timbuk 3 - the future’s so bright, life is hard
Don't look down GO West
Yes yes yes to David+David's "Swallowed by the Cracks" & Hothouse Flowers' "I'm Sorry, Don't Go.."
Agree with Go West 👍
@@bridgemanjr Also "One Way Street" "Innocence" by Go West
Awesome list. World Party "She's The One"
OMG - CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! :) This was one of hubby's FAVORITES - he LOVED LEVEL 42!! THANKS, YA'LL, for refreshing my MEMORIES!! HUGS!!
LOVE YOU GUYS!
Thank you for becoming such a welcome, positive, staple part of all of our lives ... you are amazing.
Love, love, love this song. Takes me back to my teenage years. The best time, my teens was all music.
Aztec Camera - Oblivious, General Public - Faults and All, Boom Boom Room - Here Comes The Man
Aztec Camera! I love love love Roddy! ❤
''Leaving Me Now'' and ''It`s Over'' are two amazing songs by Level 42
#Rob Squad, Watch their live video of this song and witness this vocalist on how he played his bass guitar.
Sings, plays bass AND chews gum! Mark is a beast!
Totally agree !! Its easy to misinterpret what you are hearing as lots of electronic synthesizers. Watching a live performance sets the proper context for appreciating Mark King’s talent
Love this song!! Brings back memories!! Love the band and his voice
I sooooooo loved Level 42. Next, check out Running in the Family! You already loved Something About You, one of my all-time favorites.
"Leaving You Now," and "Hot Water" 🔥
Good story in Running In The Family
@@davidhuggan6315 Mr Pink, Dune Tune, Heathrow, Kansas City Milkman. There is much more to L42 than chart material.
the lyrics to Running In the family, it is the kind of song you wish you could write yourself
Another Level 42 banger is “Hot Water”. Bass line is a thumper.
Yes!🙌
TRUTH !
@@coachtomas Check out their later tracks like "All Over You" and "Forever Now." Those have that "Hot Water" groove, but they've added real horns. Also from 1988 "Tracie" with drum monster Gary Husband.
@@NoCanDu The later Level 42 has added horns. Check out "Forever Now" and "All Over You"
@@seanswinton6242 I’ve had the CD since 1993! 😉 Have Guaranteed also. I think I have the whole catalog plus remixes, etc. Big fan here!
I would love for Jay and Amber to react to British 80s pop group ABC
- When Smokey Sings
- Be Near Me
- Poison Arrow
And 'The Night You Murdered Love'
They already did "Look of Love." Pro tip: Before suggesting something, go to the TH-cam search bar and type in "Rob Squad Reactions" followed by a band name. It will show you what they've already reacted to by that band.
yes abc! be near me is my fave!
ABC's "Poison Arrow" also.
@@tamcon72 Thank you! It happens on every channel and habitually I reply with the link to the reaction. Not a crime but too often subs/viewers post how the reactors should do this or that song when it was already done in previous years. Btw, J & Amber reacted to “The Look of Love” in April of 2023. ✌🏽
I went to see them back in October in my home town (Sheffield). They were brilliant and they've still got it. You've only just scratched the surface. Mark King the lead is the King of Slap Bass. You've got many more tracks to enjoy. With lots of BASS ! Just to correct you guys, LEVEL 42 were NEVER considered a boy band over here in the U.K. Just great musicians.
This is yet another great 80s song from the most innovative decade in music history! To today’s artists, you can learn how to produce great music by listening to more 80s sound like this here from Level 42!!
“Hot Water” would be a good next peek at Level 42 - funky, bass led and great fun….look for a live version to see Mark King and bass in action.
If you want an 80s synth pop classic with a Falsetto voice try Bronski Beat-Smalltown Boy
I was thinking of Bronski Beat too!
Ooh yes!! With the video!!!!
One of their best! Mad nostalgia feels. Another song of theirs to check out, a ballad called "Leaving Me Now"
Level 42 was NOT a boy band and never considered such. They are real musicians that understand the intricacies of jazz and funk and experimented with it.
I don’t know if you’ve played it but Something About You was my fav.
You need to do a live cut of theirs.. my personal fav is "Something About You". Don't know if you've reacted to it yet though. It is a banger for the ages, and Mark King thumb slappin' that bass and chewing gum while he sings lead!!! You will love it!! Thanks for all the love!
i think they reviewed it but didn't see the great mtv video for it lol.
They reacted to "Something About You "
0:28 Amber says they reacted to “Something About You”.
Another HIdden GEM... this is a very good Band - Enjoy
This was the first song I downloaded with audiogalaxy when I figured out what mp3's were back in the early days of dail-up internet.
Love this album. Thanks for the reaction!
I'm new to this channel y'all are playing some great music.
I'm 58 and grew up with this music.
This is my favorite song by level 42 . If you've been in a relationship or marriage that failed but you still have feelings then this song will touch your heart.
The song hits all the bullseyes, upbeat and soulfull lyrics.
If you listen closely and watch the video it is about building and hopes that are gone with the wind.
With Level 42, the songs you have played today and in the past really need the video to really appreciate the instrumental awesomeness.
And to prove Level 42 are not just a Brit funk band try 'Its Over.' Full of great melodies, harmonies and tear jerking lyrics.
Love his bass mate
Mark King aka Thunder Thumbs" bass guitar god!
@@seanswinton6242 I was lucky to see them live at Wembley arena with his red lights bass flashing away I there heyday. We loved his solo showing off filler. Crowd went wild.
They also have a couple of heart breaking ballads-Its Over,and Leaving me now xx
Both excellent songs
@davidhuggan6315 agreed x
Jay & Amber, you’ll love Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes’ “Trapped Again”, “We’re Havin’ A Party”, “I Don’t Want To Go Home” and “The Fever”. Similar to Bruce Springsteen in style. Songwriters: "Trapped Again" (Southside Johnny, Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt);
"Havin' a Party" (Sam Cooke)"; I Don't Want to Go Home" (Steven Van Zandt); "The Fever" (Springsteen). Van Zandt the guitarist from Bruce’s band. Saw Johnny in concert Nov.’81.
THANK YOU! They are one my all-time favorite bands!
The Fever video set at a pathetic wedding is hilarious! I don't want to go home should be a live performance
One of the most fun live-performance bands ever. Love the songs mentioned above but my ATF is still "Talk to Me."
@@seanswinton6242 you're welcome!
@@no2all yeah, probably should have put Talk To Me before The Fever.
“Running in the Family” is a choooon!
Certified banger
I wore this vinyl record out
Love this song!!!!
one of the best bass players . . saw them live several times in the eighties.
Beautiful song! When you paused the song to make the mid-song comments, you mentioned how much you are enjoying the vocals. I was thinking, "Just wait for the part coming up shortly, when the keyboardist does his solo..."
Gotta do "Forever Now" and "All Over You" for the real bass and horn experience! Classic like "Leaving Me Now", "Hot Water", "Starchild" and "Dune Tune". Also "Heaven In My Hands," "Tracie" "Almost There", "Kouyate"
Level 42 had a great string of hits in the UK & Europe throughout the 80s - please check out "Sun Goes Down" - they turn it on its head with this one!
Mark King was originally a drummer who moved over to bass and lead vocalist. He became one of the best slap bass players of the 80s. World Machine was their breakthrough album in the states. "Leaving Me Now" is another great single from that album.
"Something About You " is my favorite by the band. But this one would be a runner up. It's definitely a VIBE
"The Sun Goes Down" is one of their best. Mark's bass just kills. Amber your Doppleganger is in the video, seriously.
That is so true !! Good shout !
Dig the slap bass.
LOVE Level 42 and this song. So smooth from the vocals to the music.
I went to see them live at their peak in the 80’s. They are a fantastic group, all great musicians as well.
I’m sad they didn’t get the video version of the song. Great video!!!
loved the mtv video!
Copyright stuffs up many a good reacter
Level 42 is right up your alley - killer bass, awesome harmonies, and saxophone! I think their best showcase of what they can do is a live video of “Leaving Me Now”, at the New Theatre, Oxford in 2006. The harmonies in that song are breathtaking.
Saw them at Newcastle City hall around 4 years ago in the October. It was Mark Kings birthday and the audience sang happy birthday to him. They sounded exactly the same live
In a live concert i saw bassist and lead singer Mark King play slap bass solo 15 min non stop, incredible, as is the whole group.
This is my favorite song of theirs and one of my favorite songs, full stop.
❤❤❤ Next you should check out the band Go West. Same kind of sound jazzy pop.
Wicked bass player! Sooo many good songs!
Prior to Les Claypool, there was Mark King inspiring bass players to stick out their thumbs and start slapping.
But he himself said that he got it from players like Larry Graham and Stanley Clarke.
Stanley Clarke's "Lopsy Lou" is the direct inspiration for Level 42's "Heathrow"
@@PjRjHj Yes, and that first album is very much a Return to forever salute in its entirety. Level 42 were a way better band than people give them credit for.
Luv his voice great jam😅😅
Loved them since they had there first hit. Finally caught a concert last year. No seats, standing only. Knee and back got effed but totally worth it😉
Took me right back to high school. Lifting weights at Lancaster PA racquetball club this song playing over the radio speakers. Great times
Was hoping this was the video version, if you could see Mark playing you would be amazed. Saw them live back in the day, remember the gig was being filmed. Some of my mates are on the live of this. Amazing…. Jay please watch a live of Level 42 to understand how Mark played. ❤
FUN FACT FOR JAY - Lead singer Mark King back in the 80s was considered the 3rd best in the World Bass Player . The name of the band Level 42 comes from an old PC Spectrum game called Jet Set Willy . songs " The Sun goes Down (living it up ) " & " Running in the Family " are 2 of my favs .
'Running in the family' will be your next song. Another banger..
Great song! And another answer to the question "how does a jazz quartet write a pop/dance/radio hit?"
‘Hot Water’ is a banger. Recorded in 1984 when the band were morphing from their Jazz funk pop roots to a more pop oriented sound.
That Mark King bass gets me every time!
Level 42 is a great band AND as I know Jay loves bass you should check out Mark King Mr Pink Live at Reading Concert hall, an experience in bass playing you will not want to miss from Level 42's frontman. En par with Danny Carey's pneuma drum video in my mind.
Awesome Band, I will say this again, I will say it a million times but you so have to watch a Live performance to truely appreciate their ability especially the Bass & Vocals from Mark King. You will be in Awe. They still tour and sell out every venue and you leave their concerts on such a high. For your next Level 42 reaction i would suggest " The Sun Goes down" Their first UK Hit or my personal favourite "Hotwater".
Good song choice. Another 80s song with that jazzy sound is Digging Your Scene by The Blow Monkeys. I also highly suggest Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat.
One of my favourite groups of the 80s. So unique and mesmerizing sound. Fantastic track. Another one to check out is 'Its Over' arguably my favourite from them!
I was OBSESSED with this song in 1987. Haha. My poor parents.
@RobSquadReactions - Have you listened to any Aztec Camera? I think you’d enjoy the guitar sound. ‘Oblivious’ was their first hit from the album ‘High Land, Hard Rain’ all written and performed by the wonderful Roddy Frame who was only 18 when the album was produced.
Oh my gosh lol, this song used to be on CVS's playlist for the longest time and just found out it was this band lol. Good song! I do suggest "It's Over" "Leaving Me Now" "Running In The Family" "To Be With You Again" "The Sun Goes Down (Livin' It Up)" "Hot Water" "Children Say" "Starchild" (this one has a nice bass for Jordan with some funky notes and I highly recommend), "Overtime" "Love Games" (this one is from a concert back in 2010), "Mr. Pink" "Micro-Kid" "World Machine" "Kansas City Milkman" "If You Were Mine" "Heaven In My Hands" there you go guys, hope this helps.
Love the 80s. Some more 80s to try would be Howard Jones, Asia, Power Station, Slade, Journey, Thompson Twins. And Duran Duran has a ton of songs to react to still. A View to a Kill would be my choice
Mark King, amazing vocalist and amazing finger plucking bass player.
one of the best ever if not not best. X
The 80s.... what a decade!! Nothing like it since then and never will be duplicated!! Groups back then didn't need Auto-Tune!! Now anybody can be a singer!! 🙏✌️
One of my favorites for sure. I still have this CD and listen to it quite often. Other tracks I recommend are Two Solitudes, Running In the Family, It‘s Over, Fashion Fever , Children Say. The list goes on 😊
A band almost vocally identical to Level 42 is Hue and Cry. The first time I heard them, with song "Looking for Linda", I was convinced it was them. I'd recommend "Looking for Linda", "Violently" or "Labour of Love".
From the Isle of Wight, England. The official video of this track is fun too. Excellent 80s band.
Haven’t heard this in a long time. It still slaps! Thank you!
One of best groups in the 80s. So unique. You need to see this done live
Grew up with these tunes; loving to see your reaction! Thanks for sharing!!!
You have got to listen to Level 42 (Mr Pink) Live at Reading Concert Hall. You will love the very bass driven song. Most of which is a bass solo
Next level 🎸
I get tears of sheer happiness listening to this song!
This song was so parallel to what was going on in my life. I was living in Sedona Arizona in 1987 and my first marriage was very stressed out. This song was always on.
And if you love jazz inspired horns, haircut 100 are a good band to check out
Knew you guys would love this one, I defy anyone who can stay still when this plays, you have to dance it ma,especially you move and you can't control it. Always loved the base line in their songs, awesome stuff. 😎👌🎸
Hopefully Rob noticed that the lead singer is the basis guitarist as well. Also the name level 42 come from a book call the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy buy Douglas Adams a great fun set of books you might want to read sometime.
Yeeessss Level 42 Jay bassss have been waiting for this band, Love Games for the next song, Amber we also need to checkout The Real Thing (You to me are everything) super soul sounds of the 70's ❤️😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
One of the best 80's songs! I LOVE THIS BAND! GREAT REACTIONS, GUYS!
Seen them 29!times live and amazing every time
The Chinese Way, brilliant. This is the first band I saw live in 1985. Mark King's bass playing is amazing
