Jamal I don't have Instagram so I'm requesting here the song, Blow by Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars. This version has them in it and then there's the official video that has a girl band lip syncing etc. So here's the first version with the 3 guys singing. th-cam.com/video/gRSRlJ7aFRM/w-d-xo.html Here's the original with the girl band. th-cam.com/video/s93NCuXt7x4/w-d-xo.html I hope you can play it soon. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. Thanks, Gail
There are a lot of reactors out there but you Jamel to me seem to genuine about music. That's why you stand out. I may not always comment but not too many I have not seen. Until the next one🤟👍
Good stuff ! Try this Dave Mason tune " Feelin alright " with a host of stars doing it in quarantine setting . So Good ... th-cam.com/video/Xd56ap_aa4k/w-d-xo.html
A MUST-listen-to track! ABC-TV used this as their on-air jingle in the mid-late 70's (when they were #1 in the ratings with shows like "Happy Days", "Charlie's Angels", "Mork & Mindy", etc.).
The picture of the album came up on my Yacht Rock playlist - and I can totally see them hanging around the bar calling up ladies on their list. You would think the one on the left would be England Dan, but it's the other one.
This is Mine & My Husband's Song. Every time he hears it when I'm near, no matter where we're at, he stops everything he's doing and Swings Me around and dances with Me.
@Russell Reeves Love Takes Time is the first song I used some of the lyrics while "wooing" a girl back in the '70s. "I saw a twinkle in your eyes, it lit a fire deep inside". LOL
Another great song, similar to this one, is Diamond Girl by Seals and Croft. Another great one by Seals and Croft is Summer Breeze. Love you man! Love this channel! Rock on, my brutha!
Midnight Special was a once in a lifetime show, it had everyone, there will never again be another show like this, thanks for doing these videos, it makes me feel like a teenager again...take care.
John Hall, a former congressman, was their guitarist. His solo project, The John Hall Band, had a great song called "Crazy (Keep on Falling in Love)". It has is one of my favorite bridges of all time. Check it out. You'll be glad you did, and as an added bonus, the early 80s video cliches run rampant through it.
I was a teenager when this came out. I used to dance with with my daughters when they were very young to this song. It was the father and bride dance when my oldest daughter got married.
"The tube" was part of an instrument called a Melodica, which is a reed instrument that's kind of like a cross between a harmonica and a miniature pump organ. You blow into the tube, and when you press one of the keys, it opens up a hole that lets the air blow over that key's reed as it escapes, which makes the sound. It's not the most common instrument in rock or pop music, but it does turn up from time to time; Steely Dan used it on at least two songs on their "Gaucho" album ("Hey Nineteen" and "Babylon Sisters"), The Hooters used it frequently in a lot of their songs, and Oasis used it on "Champagne Supernova", just for examples.
I always thought this song was underrated. Smooth, sweet and calling for a loving embrace while moving your feet slowly to the music. A lover's song. Thanks again for digging up another memory. You are the best reactor I've watched. Keep great music alive.
This is one of those songs that could be released in any decade and be a hit. Their other song "Still the One" is also great. For a similar sound, check out Firefall - "Just Remember I Love You" and "You Are the Woman"
A good friend of mine growing up had a family member in this band. My friend died when he was just a teen. So i always think of him when i hear this awesome song... memories.
I used to daydream to this song hen I was “boy crazy” and just wanted someone to fall in love with me. This song to me was just so romantic and sweet. 💕
Another of my all-time favorites. The beat, the harmonies, the lyrics: I just love it all, and have to harmonize with them and shake my hips and move my feet. So sweet. Pretty sure our DJ played this at our reception, along with many other essentials.
"Still the One" is another good one by Orleans, even better is a song by John Hall (the leader of Orleans) named "Crazy". th-cam.com/video/H3t_u0H_5S0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Jamel- “Still the one” is another great of theirs- They’re good live, however I’d do studio version though- 💙✌️edit: oh! You mentioned wedding song.. you gotta hear their song “Still the one” now! Please-
This song is one I tend to hear on the radio even today, usually while on the road after midnight in the boonies watching the signs and old billboards whip by as the Moon casts its eerie glow on the fields.
❤️Jamel!!! ❤️❤️ Another fantastic song!!! Love your excited and surprised expressions!! ❤️❤️ You will ABSOLUTELY love "Still the One" (you'll remember.. You just had it there at the end!) 😁❤️ohhhh boy, are you in for a treat! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My brother would play this for me when I was a kid. He was 17 years older than me and had this record. I would knock on his door and he would sit me up in his bed and give me his contraband of hidden Snyder pretzels from the tin he hid in his room. I was 4-5 years old. We would listen to music together for hours. He passed away suddenly in 2014. I miss him terribly. But whenever I hear this song it makes me think of him and smile. 😊. Thank you.
Look at this people. Recorded live, harmonies, arrangement, performance = real music! Doing it right because they care about it. And none of these in-ear monitor gizmos. They are listening to each other and singing (and playing) in beautiful harmony. That tube was for the melodica Jamal! These were the best times in music.
What a great up beat song from the super 70's. I remember watching the Midnight Special, so many great acts performed on that show. The band was from Scotland.
Great memories of my innocent youth with this song 🎵. Had to check...& I still have a necklace with a charm in the shape of a gold record...one side is titled with this song; the other with "best of my love" (another band & great song). TFS fond memories for me!
I always felt that "Love Takes Time" was their best song. It's sad to report that the lead singer in the video, Larry Hoppen died by suicide on July 24, 2012. However, his music still lives on. If you like great pop ballads you might also want to check out the '89 song "Second Chance" by 38 Special. As for another real nice wedding song people should listen to "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young.
Holy cow!!!! It became my birthday 3 hours ago and my favorite songs in the world have popped up in the reactions!! I have 3 favorite songs and this is number 2!!! I just love this song. It makes me happy!! I was prepared to try and ignore turning 50-none of yo' business, by myself. 🥺 But now its started out to be great!!! More big smiles on my face!! Thank you Jamel, it's only 3 hours into it, but this is already the best birthday I've had in several years!! 😀🎵💃🎈 I think I will bake my arse a cake! 😬😋
This song is so sweet, from way back when. I never saw their faces all together like that. I think a lot of us never knew what they looked like, but we just got off on that song. It is sometimes cool when you don't know what the singers of the old songs looked like! A little cool blast from the blast!
Didn't play it at my wedding, but I did ask a girl to prom by singing it to her in the main hallway in high school. Thanks for bringing back a good memory. By the way, she said yes.
You are killing it with your selections, Jamel! One of the TOP Yacht Rock songs. Mellow perfection. This whole Genre would have to be my deserted island pick if I could have only one ☺️
I love this song... the harmonies, the smoothness.... but omg the nurse in me wants to scream "CLEAN THAT TUBE!" every time I see Larry Hoppen play that melodica!
Jamel, I may not watch every one of your videos, but I ALWAYS watch the ones of songs that had a place in my heart and memories from when I was younger -- this one being one of my faves from my junior high days. . . I still nee to watch your Yes album tribute as they are one of my all time favorite bands along with Rush. . . Keep the GREATS coming!! LOVE your channel!! 💕💕💕
Orleans… in the station wagon with my scout leader driving up to the Appalachian mountains to camp and listening to this song on the radio. One of my all time favorites. Hey, a good mash up for 1970s Jackson 5 music with Bach are the classical musicians The Piano Guys. “I want you Bach”. Uses that tube you like so much.
I've always loved this one. Someone else mentioned Firefall, Just Remember I Love you which is in the same vein as this. I'd also like to recommend I Love You by the Climax Blues Band. It is probably my favorite and I think you would love it.
Thank-you! I heard this song again just last Friday for the first time in ages and it hasn't left me. I grew up with this song back in the 70's and it always made me feel so happy. Still does. The studio version, though, is the very best. :) Thanks again, Jamal, for being so timely with this!

Good stuff ! Try this Dave Mason tune " Feelin alright " with a host of stars doing it in quarantine setting . So Good ... th-cam.com/video/Xd56ap_aa4k/w-d-xo.html
Still The One is also GREAT
Still the one that can scratch my itch, still the one that I wouldn’t switch, we’re still having fun, and you’re still the one! That is also Orleans!
YES - both are AWESOME tunes !!!
Yes Still the One is a must. They had amazing harmonies.
@@creatinotionchannel2680 70's was so amazing for music. Can I assume that you also like America and Bread ?
“.... that eye - with a twitch “
📻🙂
Another fav!
“Just Remember I Love You” by Firefall is another 70’s gem of this genre of music
Oh, hell yeah. They had a bunch of great songs.
When Dave Mason has toured over the last few years, one of the members of Firefall has been in his band and they play that song. So good.
"Strange Way" & "Cinderella" are still two of my favorites.
Yes good one!
Firefall has an entire catalog of fabulous songs! It Doesn’t Matter is another great one.
"Still the one" another one of their hits.
Ohhhhh yes yes PLEASE!!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!
A MUST-listen-to track! ABC-TV used this as their on-air jingle in the mid-late 70's (when they were #1 in the ratings with shows like "Happy Days", "Charlie's Angels", "Mork & Mindy", etc.).
Love that one too!
@Adz Nevermind wym it's a great song bro
Have you done any England Dan and John Ford Coley Yet ? " love is the answer " or " Id really love to see you tonight ". I'm sure you would approve ❤️
"I'd really love to see you tonight" is the jam !!!!!!!!!!
It's June! You have to hear their 'Summer Breeze'!!
@@Skeezer66 wrong Seals. That’s his brother
@@rbrearey Ahh! Thanks!
The picture of the album came up on my Yacht Rock playlist - and I can totally see them hanging around the bar calling up ladies on their list. You would think the one on the left would be England Dan, but it's the other one.

That is crazy romantic,I love that! Keep that man❣
That's so cool! 👍🙂❤
I figured you probably already reacted to "Orleans - Still the One" but it doesn't look like it. That's another one of their big hits.
@Russell Reeves Man, thanks for reminding me of that great song. It is a good one!
Remember ABC made "Still the One" their theme song in the 70s. It became so ubiquitous.
Oh yes! such fun!
@Russell Reeves Love Takes Time is the first song I used some of the lyrics while "wooing" a girl back in the '70s. "I saw a twinkle in your eyes, it lit a fire deep inside". LOL
One of the songs that reminds me of growing up in the 70s. Always puts a smile on my face and reminds me of my mom🥰
Next? AIMEE!!!
@@theplanetruth Pure Prarie League! Yaaas!
Now try "Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
OOOH, what a fantastic song!!!
Jackie Blue is a great song
Just heard it today, on yacht rock. 😁
The live version on the " Old Grey Whistle Test."
And see if Jamel thinks that's a female singing....lol
"Still the One" is another one to be played...yes Jamel, you were singing it there at the end!
hell yeah ..stil lthe one!
“Still the One” was always my favorite of theirs.
Orleans, America, Firefall...beautiful '70's Top 40 music.
Yea!! Hello 1975! This song brings back so many memories of high school. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 You will love the harmonies!
Was just thinking this is high school, such a great memory :)
The Midnight Special was so fantastic. Great to see these performances again.
That is a show I would love to see in reruns - never missed it!
Another great song, similar to this one, is Diamond Girl by Seals and Croft. Another great one by Seals and Croft is Summer Breeze.
Love you man! Love this channel! Rock on, my brutha!
You are the best and most likeable reactor on TH-cam Jamal. This song really takes me back years, they dont make great music like this anymore.
One my favorite songs of all time. A perfect song in every way. Love the bass lines, the vocal harmonies, the guitars, everything. And the ending!
Still the one, THAT I TALK TO IN BED, still the one, THAT TURNS MY HEAD, we're still havin' funnnn, and you're still the onnnneeeeee!
Midnight Special was a once in a lifetime show, it had everyone, there will never again be another show like this, thanks for doing these videos, it makes me feel like a teenager again...take care.

It has is one of my favorite bridges of all time. Check it out. You'll be glad you did, and as an added bonus, the early 80s video cliches run rampant through it.
ANOTHER GREAT WEDDING SONG WAS, "COULD I HAVE THIS DANCE " By ANNE MURRAY.
THANKS JAMEL! LOVE YOUR SHOW!
Definitely!!
I was a teenager when this came out. I used to dance with with my daughters when they were very young to this song. It was the father and bride dance when my oldest daughter got married.
“Love Takes Time” by Orleans. Their harmonies were incredible.
If you can, do a review of their other song “Love Takes Time.”
Definitely a great, forgotten tune 💯
@@stevebengel1346 yes it is! Tragic what happened to Larry Hoppen though.
Yes please, my favorite Orleans song.
Their best track!
Yes!!! That's one of my favorites.
Edison Lighthouse 'Love Grows' is another great 70's song.
I played this at my wedding reception. And I got married in 2018. Timeless classic! 💙 from Texas!
What an amazing time to grow up!! I relive my childhood every time I hear these 70’s tunes!
Same.
Easy to remember this song. Loved the singing on this... it feels like they were always harmonizing & vocalizing together. Your reaction was on-point.
How about Hall was part of Hall & Oates
@@keith63ply John Hall- Orleans. Daryl Hall and John Oates were Hall and Oates.
The guitarist John Hall had his own albums, and later became a Congressman.
I used to see his “section” in the record stores when I was shopping for Hall & Oates!
I never knew that, TIL
Crazy (Keep On Falling) was a great song. Jamel should react to that one!
"The tube" was part of an instrument called a Melodica, which is a reed instrument that's kind of like a cross between a harmonica and a miniature pump organ.

Great song. R.I.P. Larry Hoppen.
A classic. Haven't heard this song for such a long time. Love the harmonies. Thanks Jamel 👍🎶
This is one of those songs that could be released in any decade and be a hit. Their other song "Still the One" is also great. For a similar sound, check out Firefall - "Just Remember I Love You" and "You Are the Woman"
Everyone in here is mentioning
*"Still The One,"* but my favorite from Orleans is
*"Love Takes Time."* It's their "forgotten hit"...
Another great group from the 70s. Loved this song.
A good friend of mine growing up had a family member in this band. My friend died when he was just a teen. So i always think of him when i hear this awesome song... memories.

Melodica solo by Larry Hoppen.
The "tube" portion of the song.
Still in my faves playlist. So niiiiiiiiice. 🔥
"Still the One" is another good one by Orleans, even better is a song by John Hall (the leader of Orleans) named "Crazy". th-cam.com/video/H3t_u0H_5S0/w-d-xo.html
Crazy was great, should have been a bigger hit.
This!!!
Hell yeah!
@@davidfowler2720 I couldn't agree more. My sister got the tape when it came out. Let's just say that she didn't end up with it...
Hey Jamel- “Still the one” is another great of theirs- They’re good live, however I’d do studio version though- 💙✌️edit: oh! You mentioned wedding song.. you gotta hear their song “Still the one” now! Please-
a '70's cool smooth jam. Check out their one other hit, 'Still The One'.
Love this song!! Thank you so much all that you do!! You always make my day better with your positive attitude!!! ❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
This is the first song that I remember loving. I was just a baby when it came out!
This song is one I tend to hear on the radio even today, usually while on the road after midnight in the boonies watching the signs and old billboards whip by as the Moon casts its eerie glow on the fields.
❤️Jamel!!! ❤️❤️ Another fantastic song!!! Love your excited and surprised expressions!! ❤️❤️ You will ABSOLUTELY love "Still the One" (you'll remember.. You just had it there at the end!) 😁❤️ohhhh boy, are you in for a treat! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Orleans was the opening act at a Jackson Browne concert I went to in the late 70s. I was really impressed with how good they were live.
"Still the one" or "What I Need"! Love these guys
Oh my. One of my favorite 70s songs. I just went to see them in concert in 2019
My brother would play this for me when I was a kid. He was 17 years older than me and had this record. I would knock on his door and he would sit me up in his bed and give me his contraband of hidden Snyder pretzels from the tin he hid in his room. I was 4-5 years old. We would listen to music together for hours. He passed away suddenly in 2014. I miss him terribly. But whenever I hear this song it makes me think of him and smile. 😊. Thank you.
Back in the 70s, the vibe was just so undeniable. And they were such consummate musicians and vocalists. So much talent!
Love this song 🎵❤
"Love takes time" is a great Orleans tune that many don't know about. Give it a try.
Look at this people. Recorded live, harmonies, arrangement, performance = real music! Doing it right because they care about it. And none of these in-ear monitor gizmos. They are listening to each other and singing (and playing) in beautiful harmony. That tube was for the melodica Jamal! These were the best times in music.
I had to do a 'thumbs up' before even watching it, I've loved this song for more years than I care to remember....Thanks!
This is my favorite from them, remember singing this with my Mom. Now you have to do
"STILL THE ONE".
Didn't realize until just now that I still know all of the lyrics after all of these years! Nice. : )
I’ve been listening to this song and Ambrosia’s “Nice, Nice, Very Nice.” The latter (last 27 seconds) brought me to the former.
Peter Brown's version is a completely different song, it's Disco and I know you'll love it 🤩
Saw Orleans open for Jackson Browne in 75 or 76. They were great. Next up “ Stiil the One”, their biggest hit.
What a great up beat song from the super 70's. I remember watching the Midnight Special, so many great acts performed on that show. The band was from Scotland.
HOnestly?
@@paulbaptiste3527Sorry the band was from New York, had the wrong band in mind.
That little keyboard with the tube is an ocarina! :)
Wedding song, graduation, you name it.
Orleans had another big hit with 'Still The One'.
“Love Takes Time”, another Orleans hit.
Makes me cry, nostalgia happy days, keep safe love from Darlington uk 🇬🇧 ❤ 💙 💖
Great memories of my innocent youth with this song 🎵.
Had to check...& I still have a necklace with a charm in the shape of a gold record...one side is titled with this song; the other with "best of my love" (another band & great song). TFS fond memories for me!
I always felt that "Love Takes Time" was their best song. It's sad to report that the lead singer in the video, Larry Hoppen
died by suicide on July 24, 2012. However, his music still lives on.
If you like great pop ballads you might also want to check out the '89 song "Second Chance" by 38 Special. As for another
real nice wedding song people should listen to "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young.
Holy cow!!!! It became my birthday 3 hours ago and my favorite songs in the world have popped up in the reactions!! I have 3 favorite songs and this is number 2!!! I just love this song. It makes me happy!! I was prepared to try and ignore turning 50-none of yo' business, by myself. 🥺 But now its started out to be great!!! More big smiles on my face!! Thank you Jamel, it's only 3 hours into it, but this is already the best birthday I've had in several years!! 😀🎵💃🎈 I think I will bake my arse a cake! 😬😋
Love the head movement during this song!!! Omg too much fun! You always put a smile on my face. Just love you!!!!
This song is so sweet, from way back when. I never saw their faces all together like that. I think a lot of us never knew what they looked like, but we just got off on that song.

Consider doing the Midnight Special version of "Long Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt.
Yes! That song makes me cry every single time. Unrequited love is the worst.
Didn't play it at my wedding, but I did ask a girl to prom by singing it to her in the main hallway in high school. Thanks for bringing back a good memory. By the way, she said yes.
One of the most beautiful and romantic songs ever.💗💃🕺
1975, Just out of High School and wondering what I'm gonna do with My Life, takes me way back there.
Orleans made up the heart of a touring Supergroup called Rock and Pop Masters, saw them in Madison, WI. back in 2007/08 it was a great time.
In Chemistry class in late 1974, my desk mate wrote Orleans on the desk. I told him I didn't know who they were. He said you will soon.
For me, Dance With Me is one of those songs that gives you goosebumps from the get go 💜
You are killing it with your selections, Jamel! One of the TOP Yacht Rock songs. Mellow perfection. This whole Genre would have to be my deserted island pick if I could have only one ☺️
I love this song... the harmonies, the smoothness.... but omg the nurse in me wants to scream "CLEAN THAT TUBE!" every time I see Larry Hoppen play that melodica!
Jamel, I may not watch every one of your videos, but I ALWAYS watch the ones of songs that had a place in my heart and memories from when I was younger -- this one being one of my faves from my junior high days. . . I still nee to watch your Yes album tribute as they are one of my all time favorite bands along with Rush. . . Keep the GREATS coming!! LOVE your channel!! 💕💕💕
Jamel, thanks for reacting to this, it's one of my favorite songs. Some other good songs from Orleans are Still The One and Love Takes Time.
This is a great song, but my lady and I played "The Wedding Song (There Is Love)" by Noel Paul Stookey and "We've Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters.
Just a great song along with “Still the One” by them
Orleans… in the station wagon with my scout leader driving up to the Appalachian mountains to camp and listening to this song on the radio. One of my all time favorites. Hey, a good mash up for 1970s Jackson 5 music with Bach are the classical musicians The Piano Guys. “I want you Bach”. Uses that tube you like so much.
Gosh I love this group! I absorbed them in the background when I was in elementary school.
Always loved the harmonies of Orleans.
They still play this on the radio. Such a good classic.
grew up in the mid-west in the 70s your reactions are basically of my childhood High Scholl soundtrack...Many played it at their weddings
One of my fave 70's tunes. Gotta say I admit the studio version better by far. This live version is still pretty darn good.
I've always loved this one. Someone else mentioned Firefall, Just Remember I Love you which is in the same vein as this. I'd also like to recommend I Love You by the Climax Blues Band. It is probably my favorite and I think you would love it.
Another one to add to your wife's playlist for your anniversary or her birthday.
Another positive energy song from that era and one of my favorite. 💜
"Still the one" absolutely my favorite Orleans song..and you were right you were singing it...can't wait to see you react to it
They just don't do harmonies, and sing about love like those 70's classics.
What a great song. Fantastic harmonies. Brothers Lance & Lane Hoppin and John Hall.
Thanks AKA Jamal
This song been back ground music in my head and heart for 50 years.
Hell yea!!!! Love their harmony and musicianship ❤
Thank-you! I heard this song again just last Friday for the first time in ages and it hasn't left me. I grew up with this song back in the 70's and it always made me feel so happy. Still does. The studio version, though, is the very best. :) Thanks again, Jamal, for being so timely with this!
Heard a little Zydeco with the keyboard sounds he was making. So there's the "New Orleans" sound you were thinking of Jamel. 😃
