My father passed away when I was 15, in 1979. I remember this song coming on in the car on the way to the cemetery. My mom was crying and I asked her if I should change the station and she wouldn’t let me. This song is so beautiful and it will always make me think of my mom and dad. ❤
I just came home from a funeral for a former colleague of mine (a young doctor I used to work with) who passed away at only 42 from cancer. I was feeling down and decided I needed a little Jay and Amber to perk things up. This was such a nice song to be reacting to because even though it's obviously meant as a love song, I feel so much of it applied to the personality of my colleague. They were playing songs before the service started and this would have been so perfect. That she "decorated" our lives. RIP Candria Elyse Krywko, O.D.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's tough, and many people, I've found, don't understand why the bond with a colleague can be so strong. I lost a gentleman I co-taught with, and the loss rippled through my teaching for years. I never met anyone I clicked with in his department with whom to restart the program.
I got to see Kenny in concert and he sounds just as good live as he does on his albums. Thinking about that concert reminds me of his opening artist. Her name is Crystal Gayle and probably one of her most popular songs was "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Maybe you could put her on your female Friday list. :)
Back in the late 60s Kenny Rogers played in the band The First Edition. Check out 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)' or 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town.'
Hey, that was so cool that you shared about me getting to go up and sing with Kenny. He smelled REALLY REALLY good too. And when he kissed my hand, his beard was sooooo soft. I’m so glad you guys are getting to enjoy his music. My hubby and I love music and we really enjoy watching you react to the music of our lives.
@@marybrown6128 I was shaking so badly, I remember feeling so stunned I was just super focused on him. Like I forgot there was a stadium of people there too. It was insane.
I was born in Houston, Texas and as I got older and my hair and beard began to turn white many relatives and friends noticed how much I looked like Kenny Rogers. They all called me Kenny and there where times I was picked out in public . It was nice to be recognized that way and yes the ego is touched in a nice way.
I just heard the best song for y'all to ever cover and I think it would be a song both of y'all would just love. It's a bluegrass song by one of the best bluegrass singers ever, Ricky Skaggs and to make even more awesome, he's singing it with Barry Gibb at the Grand Ole Opry!! The video is titled When the Roses Bloom Again - Barry Gibb & Ricky Skaggs. It's got over 2 mil views I could rewatch it over and over.
Amber! Your expression and body language at 1:13 - 1:16 spoke VOLUMES! This romantic song describes how the singer's life was bland, empty and bereft of color or flavor and we are to think of him pitifully. He thanks her because she changed his life to being full of color, flovor and life in the fullest. We should all be so fortunate.
Yes, Amber, that is a flute playing on this song. I've played flute for almost 50 yrs. and taught flute for over 30 yrs. As well. I remember this song from high school and remember learning this little lick by ear, just to be cool and not a band geek. I'm still band geek after all these years later. 😅😅😅
Hope you both decide to go down the Kenny Rogers and the First Edition rabbit hole. Alot of heavy rocking tunes that will surprise you like : "Love Woman" his heaviest rock song . "Somethings Burning" "Just dropped In." ( To see what condition my condition was in) 💪
OK I will try this again. People we have to get these two to react to Red Sovine. One of the greatest story tellers in country music. With songs like "Teddy Bear" , "Phantom 309" , "Daddy's Girl". If any of you don't know this artist you owe it to yourself to give him a listen. Start with Teddy Bear. You will understand why I am actually desperate for them to react to this song.
This is one of Kenny's best songs. There's was a program on TV once about the friendship between Lionel Ritchey and Kenney that I think resulted in the song Lady, among others. It's too long for a reaction, but if you can find it, y'all might be interested in.
As a child/pre teen, this song was played at every birthday party or wedding I attended. Plus our DJ neighbour had a thing for Kenny, he always played his music every Sunday morning so when we were returning from Mass was greeted by Kenny's music.
I saw Kenny in concert. Awesome. If you listen to “We are the world” which has some awesome people, but when he sings it’s freaking amazing. I play the bass and can sing ok. My wife is phenomenal. She sang Alisha Keys Fallen and was asked why she doesn’t sing for a living by someone who has heard people. She sang and I played on 2 professional cds. I know music.
Kenny Rogers the first concert I ever saw I was just a little girl. I was loved his voice. My father used to sing this song to my mother and danced with her. I think Kenny Rogers songs epitomize the idea of true love
I have hope for the future when you guys react to a song I haven't heard in decades. Many people think music is a 15 year window in their youth/early adulthood.
Always fun to see you guys listen to music that I and others here grew up with. Jay has definitely developed an appreciation for not only great vocals but also great instrumentation. I saw it mentioned already but another Kenny Rogers song you should do is Buy Me A Rose.
I know you love Barry Gibb you know he wrote Island in the Streams and he also wrote Buried Treasure for Kenny and The song This Woman I think you would love the Video for Thi Woman Barry sung background on both of these songs.
You two should react to Don Williams. Some broken hearts never mend. Good old boys like me. Lord I hope this day is good. There are so many good ones. Someone help me out here.
Hey Guys, new subscriber here lovin your content. I think you should consider a very old song considered to be the very first recorded "rapping style" delivery. It is from the 1940s and is from a group called THE JUBILAIRES and the song is called "NOAH". Most important is to make someone smile!!! ;)😃
You mentioned "Manly man-voice." You've got to try Avi Kaplan doing "Change on the Rise." Now That's manly! He was the bass/baritone (sometimes tenor) with Pentatonix.
To hear Amber say she loves the stories from Woodstock. She must be hearing what people 'think' they remember. Woodstock was super cool because of the artists performing and in my opinion this is all it had going for it. The ground was muddy, slush mud not just damp ground. There weren't enough porta potties, so people were pissing and shitting where they could (including their pants), vendors ran out of food and drink so that sucked. The drugs were out of control with over 700 overdoses. I heard 3 dudes died. Then after the concert a dude who was passed out in the field was run over by a tractor the farmer was using to clean up. In my opinion, Woodstock was a great line up of artists, but a literal shit show of a venue and vendors.
This is such a great song. Two of my favorites from Kenny were duets that he had with Kim Carnes (Don't fall in love with a dreamer), and Sheena Easton (We got tonight). I think you would really enjoy these.
Kenny is awesome. My mom loved him so much. I grew up listening to all his songs. Whenever I hear a Kenny song I can still hear my mom singing along. ❤🥰
I love Lady, but this song gets me into my feels, paints a beautiful picture, love 💗 it! Oh and the vocal arrangement is lovely and the subtle bass line was awesome
Greetings from sunny London, UK. That is good to hear, Kenny may not be as popular here as in USA but really appreciated by those who appreciated his lovely voice. Kenny RIP.
Memories of skating, roller and ice, with teen girls from school. Imagining one of them might be that magic woman but being to shy to try. Eventually I found her, but tunes from this era are what guided me to her.
I can’t help watching your beautiful wife and the emotions on her face , I’m a very emotional 81 year old who has seen life but I can read all the emotions on her face as the different lyrics of each song passes over her , it’s wonderful to see a person of such emotions , your a very lucky man xx
My father passed away when I was 15, in 1979. I remember this song coming on in the car on the way to the cemetery. My mom was crying and I asked her if I should change the station and she wouldn’t let me. This song is so beautiful and it will always make me think of my mom and dad. ❤
Oh myyyyy gosh. Girl I am so sorry. I can feel your pain that day. I send " a healing hug."
OOXX,. Warm hug your way from PA
😢
So the fun part is seeing Amber speak from the heart, and Jay buying into styles of music of all types. The best reaction show on youtube.
I just came home from a funeral for a former colleague of mine (a young doctor I used to work with) who passed away at only 42 from cancer. I was feeling down and decided I needed a little Jay and Amber to perk things up.

@@bjdefilippo447 Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m sorry for your loss as well. Sounded like a great teacher!
Don’t fall in love with a dreamer. Another great by Kenny!

Her name is Crystal Gayle and probably one of her most popular songs was "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Maybe you could put her on your female Friday list. :)
I love Crystal Gayle. She did a wonderful duet with Eddie Rabbitt, "Just You and I."
Crystal is Loretta Lynn's sister
You have to check out the duet he did with Sheena Easton, "We've Got Tonight".
Brings back a lot of memories as a kid in the backseat in the 70's. What great artists and memories👍🍻
me too
FACTS!!!
Kenny, Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond for sure in the backseat! Didn’t appreciate it at the time.☺️
# backseat crew!
Kenny sings from the heart.
Back in the late 60s Kenny Rogers played in the band The First Edition. Check out 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)' or 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town.'
Yes! I love his old ones.
My favorite Kenny Rogers song❤
She Believes In Me is another of his many great songs!
Hey, that was so cool that you shared about me getting to go up and sing with Kenny. He smelled REALLY REALLY good too. And when he kissed my hand, his beard was sooooo soft. I’m so glad you guys are getting to enjoy his music.

What a lucky lady!! ❤️
@@marybrown6128 I was shaking so badly, I remember feeling so stunned I was just super focused on him. Like I forgot there was a stadium of people there too. It was insane.
@@Jenn-il2bj I probably would have passed out! Lol
@@marybrown6128 I just kept thinking “is this really happening?”
Hey Jen! All I can say is, wow!
I love how you kept it eyes closed and just took it in
Brother now u get it ❤
I actually nearly picked this song for my wedding dance 31 years ago. Beautiful song by Kenny ❤
Omg this was my wedding song in 1981!!!!¡😊
He was my mother's favorite artist.
"Turn the light on". I swear you won't regret it.
“Love Bubbles” 😂 That is a great phrase! Gonna use that one !🎉🎉🎉
I was born in Houston, Texas and as I got older and my hair and beard began to turn white many relatives and friends noticed how much I looked like Kenny Rogers. They all called me Kenny and there where times I was picked out in public . It was nice to be recognized that way and yes the ego is touched in a nice way.
I always loved “Through the years”
I’m so glad you guys got around to this song. It reminds me of my dad, growing up, Kenny got played a lot!
For one of my parents anniversaries I bought them tickets to see Kenny and Dolly sometime in the 80’s. They said it was wonderful. ❤
Oh Kenny ❤
He was a true superstar. Love his voice.
Amazing lyrics in this song.

RIP Kenny Rogers! This was one of my favorite songs recorded by him.
I’ve always loved his music. I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny on two occasions. He was so kind!
Hope you both decide to go down the Kenny Rogers and the First Edition rabbit hole. Alot of heavy rocking tunes that will surprise you like : "Love Woman" his heaviest rock song . "Somethings Burning" "Just dropped In." ( To see what condition my condition was in) 💪
I got to be front row for a Kenny concert with the righteous brothers opening. Such a fun memory!
OK I will try this again. People we have to get these two to react to Red Sovine. One of the greatest story tellers in country music. With songs like "Teddy Bear" , "Phantom 309" , "Daddy's Girl". If any of you don't know this artist you owe it to yourself to give him a listen. Start with Teddy Bear. You will understand why I am actually desperate for them to react to this song.
As you love Kenny, you will like his contemporary, Charlie Rich. Try his hits - The Most Beautiful Girl in the World or Behind Closed Doors.
Sweet little song.
This is one of Kenny's best songs. There's was a program on TV once about the friendship between Lionel Ritchey and Kenney that I think resulted in the song Lady, among others. It's too long for a reaction, but if you can find it, y'all might be interested in.
Great pic! He has so many great songs!
If you love this song from Kenny, listen to Charlie Rich - The Most Beautiful Girl circa 1973.
Beautiful!
Yall should check out some early Kenny when he was in The 1st Edition songs like Ruby, What Condition My Condition is in
Ruby! ❤
I have a feeling you guys would love "Love Will Turn You Around", from his movie, "Six Pack". And you'd probably love the movie, too!
As a child/pre teen, this song was played at every birthday party or wedding I attended. Plus our DJ neighbour had a thing for Kenny, he always played his music every Sunday morning so when we were returning from Mass was greeted by Kenny's music.
Thanks for seeing us. Not just like this song just caring!
Don't miss Kenny 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town' !
This song and i don't need you by kenny love the R&B vibe
I saw Kenny in concert. Awesome. If you listen to “We are the world” which has some awesome people, but when he sings it’s freaking amazing.
I play the bass and can sing ok. My wife is phenomenal. She sang Alisha Keys Fallen and was asked why she doesn’t sing for a living by someone who has heard people. She sang and I played on 2 professional cds. I know music.
Saw him in concert back in the early 80s. Was amazing seeing all of the ladies come down and plce roses at his feet during the show.
I would suggest one by him when he was a rock singer with The First Edition, "Ruby". It's quite a story.
Back then we said he had a “gravel” (gravelly) voice.
You should try ....She Believes in Me. It's a great one also.
Thanks. You guys are awesome. ❤
Kenny Roger's and the first edition
"Just dropped in"
We used to sing "You...decorated my house....with toilet paper, you louse....""
One of my favorites by Kenny Rogers. ♥
Checkout the first band he was in Kenny Rogers & the First edition 'I just dropped into see what condition my condition was in''
Kenny Rogers the first concert I ever saw I was just a little girl. I was loved his voice. My father used to sing this song to my mother and danced with her. I think Kenny Rogers songs epitomize the idea of true love
greaaaat song.
Good song good reaction
You're next song of his you should do is She Believes in Me. It is, IMO, one of his best ballads.
Great song and singer... Mike in LA, Calif
Was 8t just me or did the lyrics keep saying, "where dreams are apart." It's "a part." The space makes a massive difference in meaning.
So nice!!
I have hope for the future when you guys react to a song I haven't heard in decades. Many people think music is a 15 year window in their youth/early adulthood.
Always fun to see you guys listen to music that I and others here grew up with.
Jay has definitely developed an appreciation for not only great vocals but also great instrumentation.
I saw it mentioned already but another Kenny Rogers song you should do is Buy Me A Rose.
Smokie - I'll meet you at midnight
I know you love Barry Gibb you know he wrote Island in the Streams and he also wrote Buried Treasure for Kenny and The song This Woman I think you would love the Video for Thi Woman Barry sung background on both of these songs.
Guys try his song-twenty years ago.
It is the flute.
Never thought you’d do this one.
You two should react to Don Williams. Some broken hearts never mend. Good old boys like me. Lord I hope this day is good. There are so many good ones. Someone help me out here.
Love this song by the way. ❤
I would really appreciate it if you did the Cowsills hair, more eagles and 5th dimension thank you 😊
I wanted to marry Kenny Rogers when I was about 12 years old. 🥰
You should try his song "Love The World Away "
Hey Guys, new subscriber here lovin your content. I think you should consider a very old song considered to be the very first recorded "rapping style" delivery. It is from the 1940s and is from a group called THE JUBILAIRES and the song is called "NOAH". Most important is to make someone smile!!! ;)😃
You mentioned "Manly man-voice." You've got to try Avi Kaplan doing "Change on the Rise." Now That's manly! He was the bass/baritone (sometimes tenor) with Pentatonix.
Amber, on the note of county. Take a listen Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”. Great for Female Friday.
Nice!
nice song now it's time to rock out:KISS, AC DC iron maiden
Great... But add dolly parton "islands in the streams". Best duet ever!
..."Class of 76"...
If y’all get the chance check out him with Home Free
Lucille!!!
Ruby, don’t take your love town.
To hear Amber say she loves the stories from Woodstock. She must be hearing what people 'think' they remember.

you need to react to luke byran strip it down
next buy me a rose
Saw him in Chattanooga!! Awesome performance! “Ruby don’t take your love to Town” is my favorite!🤘🔥
at that time.. Reuban James
This is such a great song. Two of my favorites from Kenny were duets that he had with Kim Carnes (Don't fall in love with a dreamer), and Sheena Easton (We got tonight). I think you would really enjoy these.
So I know you guys are Kenny fans, so I am going to recommend a couple of great Kenny songs: "She Believes in Me" and "Buy Me a Rose"
I've seen this song recommended so much, but have not heard it till now! And OMG, its beautiful. 🎼🎶❤
Kenny is awesome. My mom loved him so much. I grew up listening to all his songs. Whenever I hear a Kenny song I can still hear my mom singing along. ❤🥰
You guys gotta review Kenny Rogers' song Reuben James sometime.
You just can't go wrong with Kenny Rogers. I love all his music ✌❤🎶
I love Lady, but this song gets me into my feels, paints a beautiful picture, love 💗 it! Oh and the vocal arrangement is lovely and the subtle bass line was awesome
Would love to see you react to one of his later hits, “The Greatest”
Such a wonderful message and a great way to look at life.
Kenny is actually my 4th cousin. I've just turned 50 so I really never knew him but some of my other older cousins did. He was a true talent.
Greetings from sunny London, UK. That is good to hear, Kenny may not be as popular here as in USA but really appreciated by those who appreciated his lovely voice. Kenny RIP.
Memories of skating, roller and ice, with teen girls from school. Imagining one of them might be that magic woman but being to shy to try. Eventually I found her, but tunes from this era are what guided me to her.
Another great Kenny Rogers song is Love Will Turn You Around.
I can’t help watching your beautiful wife and the emotions on her face , I’m a very emotional 81 year old who has seen life but I can read all the emotions on her face as the different lyrics of each song passes over her , it’s wonderful to see a person of such emotions , your a very lucky man xx
In this song his voice is like a warm crackling fire on a cold rainy night.
