Paul was from and lived in my hometown ( where I still live ) Meridian, Mississippi. He was a chill and regular dude when you would see him about and about town. 👍
Here’s a bit of trivia. I Go Crazy spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Survey In 1977-78. That was a record (no pun intended) for chart longevity at the time.
Still makes me cry to this day. I was 6 when this song was popular, and I remember how much I loved it back then. It's my favorite song ever recorded! This live version is cool, but I prefer the studio version. It's absolutely perfect!!!
Paul Davis begged his studio to have this song presented to LOU RAWLS, who he thought would make it a huge success. Paul decided to record it by himself and it turned out to be a huge hit, the song peaked at #7 on March 18, 1978. I GO CRAZY spent 40 weeks on Billboard Hot 100 charts. Jamel, here are a few other nice listening songs by Paul Davis, 65'LOVE AFFAIR, DO RIGHT and SWEET LIFE. RIP PAUL, leaving us way too soon.
This was one of the biggest hits of the late-70s, and for damn good reason: This is one of the greatest Pop songs, ballads and love songs of all-time. It is also one of my favorite songs of all-time, and I'm a Metalhead. Paul Davis' "I Go Crazy" is a rare song that transcends both time and genre. It never gets old and is so incredibly uplifting and inspiring. Please consider doing "Thank You For Being A Friend" by a colleague and friend of his named Andrew Gold. R.I.P. both of them.
I am a headbanger (chick) as well, and I second everything you wrote. I remember necking for hours to songs like this, but this one stands out. It moves me every single time, and not just because I wish for the day when I believe again that men are capable of this depth of emotion.
This song holds the Billboard record for the slowest-rising song of the 1970's to reach the Top Ten. It also held the record for the most weeks on the Hot 100 for the decade
Damn Jamel I haven't heard this song in a while. It's a tearjerker. Thanks for digging up this beautiful song. Now I'm picturing you watching Hallmark movies 😃
You are all over the place today and that is one of the reasons I love watching you! I love all types of music and I appreciate you reacting to so many genres.
🎙️"I go crazy when I look in your eyes, I STILL go crazy 👀 Those of "Us" that have lost THEEE love of a LIFETIME know Paul's Lyrics hit us right in the HEART 💔
One of the most beautiful live songs ever made in my opinion. I remember singing this as I was growing up. Kinda gets you teary eyed. It’s simply beautiful. ❤️
This song might be almost as sappy as a hallmark movie, but musically speaking it’s SO GOOD. So thanks for playing it! Always been a favorite ballad of mine.
OMG yes Dan Fogelberg please. One of the best story tellers... "Hearts in Decline", " Our Last Farewell", "Sweet Magnolia", " Tell Me to My Face", "Lonely in Love", " As the Raven Flies", and " Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) are just some of the really good ones.
I was listening to Dan "Live at Carnegie Hall" today". Had the privilege of seeing him live twice; he was even better than on vinyl! Oh, how my heart still breaks at the loss of that beautiful soul! Wish J WOULD listen to him. And this reaction was wonderful
@@melodymcdonald2140 and “Seeing You Again”, “The Reach”, “Wysteria”, “Whispers in the Wind”and just so many more. Dan’s music was amazing. To truly understand the depth of Dan’s music one must reach beyond the radio hits.
This song was out when a girl was breaking up with me 40 years ago. I told her I would always think of her when this song was on.. I am sure she thinks of me when she hears this also.
Cool night! PLEASE. Rip paul! Great singer! This song reminds me of my ex many years ago. Still bring it all back when I hear this beautiful song! Love your video's!
Memories of the life I left behind...what I mean by this lyric is I am referring to my youth. I only wish I could be there again because life, for me was so much simpler and the music, well the music just meant so much. And as we get older and listen to those tunes our memories come flooding back. Where we were, what we were doing who was in our lives at the time, etc., It takes on a deeper meaning. Once again brother Jamel, it makes me happy to see you enjoy what I/we enjoyed then and still enjoy now! moreover, I really appreciate you opening your mind, heart and ears to this music.
OMG! All time favorite- I just experienced this type of situation a couple years back- this song and “Old Lang Syne” (sp) by Dan Folgerberg have been played repeatedly since- already loved both songs, then that day happened.. however both of us already taken, after 20 years.. - talk about self control!! This and “Old Lang Syne” immediately came to mind and started a loop...❤️❤️✌️
You are my favorite. Love your reactions. Can immediately tell you're a romantic. And now we find out you watch Hallmark movies! Love it. Thanks for always bringing a smile to me!
I'm definitely going crazy right now just listening to his beautiful voice.Brings back a lot of wonderful memories when I was dating my husband of 32 yrs.Thank you Mr.Jamel for this extraordinary experience God bless you and keep reacting to the most beautiful thing in this universe...💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
I have loved "I Go Crazy", from my youth, such an amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing song, it never gets gets old, rest in peace Paul Davis, man u had soul and what a beautiful voice Xo
This is such a beautiful song. It never seems to get old. I think of this tune as a timeless classic. It's a shame that no one, that I know of, is making songs like this any more.
Over the years, I’d catch a song like this playing in the background and think - man who is that??? I’ve gotta have that on my playlist. Who is it? I finally sat down and found out about this talented musician who most people wouldn’t recognize if they saw him or even know his name. But wow he made some wonderful songs in his short life. I can’t remember how he died, but it was too early. He was unique and cut threw the bs with his work.
wow.. i was 8 years old when this song came out and it got my attention fast, our neighbors 10 year old daughter had my attention too and she knew she did.. everytime we was outside she’d sing this song.. decades later and we still talk online regularly
It's hard to let a person go physically; but it's even harder to let a personal go on psychologically and emotionally....in other words, you're still there..

Another great song by him, "Cool Night."
Yes, that would be a great video reaction.
Yes. Good call
Yes Great song
Absolutely. This song and "Cool Night" are some of my all time faves.
Absolutely!!!!!
70's soft rock, yacht rock has never gone out of fashion
I indeed remember it from the 1970's, but I did not own a yacht.
I got a kayak in the 80's though.
@Mike - you are not wrong! Love them all 🥰
You are so right! Beautiful music like this is timeless!!
I was a teenager in the 70's. Those were "the good ole days"!
This song was HUGE when it came out.
I don’t know if it was ever huge, but it did stay on the charts forever LOL
I wanna go back and ,,,, STAY ,,,,,,,, in the sweet 19 70s
@@michaelkearney2186 It peaked at #7 in 1978 and stayed on the _Billboard Hot 100_ charts for 40 weeks. I'd say that's pretty huge.
@@bobthebear1246 oh I know, but it's not like it was #1 for 10 weeks or anything. That's huge
It was huge. Why? Fantastic song!
I remember it gotta a lot of air play on the radio.
Paul was from and lived in my hometown ( where I still live ) Meridian, Mississippi. He was a chill and regular dude when you would see him about and about town. 👍
Why doesn’t anybody know the song “Sweet Magnolia Blues” ? Greetings from Soso MS ! 🎸🎧
Here’s a bit of trivia. I Go Crazy spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Survey In 1977-78. That was a record (no pun intended) for chart longevity at the time.

"Cool Night" and 65' Love Affair" are the next ones you should check out.
Doo wop diddy wop diddy wop doo.
'Cool Night' was the one. Whoooey.
ABSOLUTELY
Definitely react to 65 Love Affair. I can't find a decent live video so here's one with lyrics
th-cam.com/video/rKWdmZe5khI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, I had forgotten Cool night and 65 love affair was also by Paul Davis. Great songs and great memories. all of them!😀
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS OF ALL TIME
The studio version is even more beautiful and haunting. Give you chills, it will.
Agreed!
This was incredible too; shows you just how talented Paul was.
He should react to the studio version. It is incredible
Oh, this song used to make me cry - way, way back when.
Still makes me cry.
Me too 💔
One of my all time favorite slow dance songs.
So many love songs about leaving. Not as many about giving a second look.
Still makes me cry to this day. I was 6 when this song was popular, and I remember how much I loved it back then. It's my favorite song ever recorded! This live version is cool, but I prefer the studio version. It's absolutely perfect!!!
Im a dude and it tugs at my heart strings evertime
The late great Paul Davis. '65 Love Affair is my favorite of his large catalogue.
I love that song!
Great song.
O Yeah 👍
Great song.Beautiful.The piano reminds me of Michael Murphy's "Wildfire."R.I.P. Paul.Another great one gone too soon.
I have always loved wildfire, too
Ahhh .. I can't listen to Wildfire without crying ... EVERY SINGLE TIME .. I love that song, it breaks my heart every time though. 💔
Oh you’re right the piano does sound kind of like Wildfire, I never thought of that till I read your comment 😀
@@sarahdixon1943 me too Sarah....me too!
Check out Michael Murphy's on David Letterman performing "Wildfire.". It's fantastic and Dave goes nuts over it.

I can't even imagine Lou Rawls singing this - just doesn't seem in his type of groove.
I can see it. With less guitar, it could happen.

God speed, Paul Davis. You were an amazing talent that I'm grateful to have known.
Ugh, I love this song so much. His voice was so beautiful.
All Paul Davis songs are heartfelt love them
One of the greatest tender breakup songs of all time. I think we've all been there.
Jamel thank m you for coming back to the 70s ,
I remember this being in heavy rotation on the radio for a long, long time. A great, melancholy song. 🔥💜
Paul Davis _ Rest In Peace. This was a hit from 1978, he also had a hit with "Cool Night." Paul definitely had alot of soul to write like this.
I can testify you can't get over your true love. I tried for 2 years. I couldn't stop loving him. We will be married 35 years in April.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks God I'm so happy for you it didn't work for me I'm sorry to say but I still love her
I know the feeling. I still in love with a man that is not mine. I have loved him for over 40 years. The love dose not go away
"Do right" and "Cool night" are wonderful Paul Davis songs!
Heart breaker voice. May have cried a few...dozen...times listening to him. ❤
This song holds the Billboard record for the slowest-rising song of the 1970's to reach the Top Ten. It also held the record for the most weeks on the Hot 100 for the decade
Jamal, the recording is much better than the live version. His song 'Sweet Life' is great too.
Yes - I agree. He has a great voice but that studio version is magical. Cool Night is another good one.
Do not forget '65 Love Affair...
This sounds like the studio verison to me...I think the video was added
@@skyblue9515 that's what I was thinking too. This is exactly how I remember it & I've heard it thousands of times.
@@skyblue9515 This live version sounds pretty close to the studio version, however, check out the
song post of the original recording by: Topic.
REQUEST: Lou Rawls “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine”. Classic, soulful, smooth as silk ❤️
One of the best songs ever -- One of my first musical memories and so much sweeter with time.
Four octave baritone - love Lou Rawls.
Funny, I’ve been singing this one to myself a lot lately. But then it hasn’t been that long ago that I found the love of my life’
Yes! Lou Rawls. What a voice!
Yes! That song is it! His voice! Those lyrics!
Paul Davis is amazing, this is an amazing song. Great reaction, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Paul Davis was smooth as glass. Great song and reaction. First reaction to a Paul Davis I've seen.
I remember when you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing this song. I bought the 45 rpm. Still love it to this day.
Love Paul Davis(RIP)! He had so many great songs Sweet Life, Cool Night, and 65` Love Affair are musts!
I read that he started his singing career a little late in life. He was just a good old country boy before that. I love his voice.
I remember this song&I love it now&then!
Paul started recording in 1968 at the age of 20.
Damn Jamel I haven't heard this song in a while. It's a tearjerker. Thanks for digging up this beautiful song.
Now I'm picturing you watching Hallmark movies 😃
"SAD EYES" ~ Robert John.
Yes! I’m with ya for that! 👆🏻
Yes! Love that one.
Turn the other way.
LOVE this song, "Cool night" and "65 love affair". Great songs ❤️❤️❤️
Sanford Townsend Band
Smoke from a distant fire...from
The Midnight Special
Great song.
Beautiful song 💗
Been dying for him to do this one! "don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out" - such a great line, lol.
This song gives me chills every time.
You are all over the place today and that is one of the reasons I love watching you! I love all types of music and I appreciate you reacting to so many genres.

Man when I heard this come on the FM radio I was taken back how great a song this is!
This brother is looking a lot like Greg Allman.
Was thinking the same thing, lol. Then I started thinking, hes a good cross between Gregg and Leon Russell!
"65 Love Affair"
"Cool Night"
"Sweet Life"
........GREAT SONGS!!!
Do Right Too!
Cool Night is one of the most poetic love songs written.
Do Right maY have been Paul's most important song.
@@kenperk9854 Yes ☝🙏
Key Largo by Bertie Higgins Jamel! So beautiful!
davis's song 'cool night' has the same feeling.
Yes and 65 love affair!
My favorite by him
All 3 take me back to the roller rink. Good times! 😂
Great song. Love his music.
I’m so thrilled you are diving in to his music!! What a beautiful song! Beautiful voice!! ♥️♥️♥️
One of the most beautiful live songs ever made in my opinion. I remember singing this as I was growing up. Kinda gets you teary eyed. It’s simply beautiful. ❤️
That was supposed to say love ❤️
Paul was a great singer/ songwriter. He had a beautiful voice. Love him.❤️
Sweet Life, Do Right, Cool Night and 65 Love Affair. You can’t go wrong with any of those from the late great Paul Davis.
Check out Randy VanWarmer "When I Needed You Most". Also Marmalades "Reflections Of My Life" Two beautiful songs of the early days!
Great recommendations ☺️
I second this!!!
Dean Ford the lead singer of Marmalade does a cover that is great, he is much older
Ugh! YES. One of my all-time favorites 💝
So glad these treasures are being listened to still in 2021 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Thanks Jamal The Music archaeologist 👌
I remember this beautiful song.I didn't remember how he looked. Wonderful voice. Very smooth.
Now you've gone into the yacht rock rabbit hole.
Love that station! I live in the country so if you want radio ya gotta have Sirius
@@meliplay Yaaaacht roooock "in my Sirius XM voice" lol
@@petervfl so yachty
And that’s a deep, deep hole !!
Man I hate that designation. Yacht rock sounds like music for the wealthy. It most definitely not.
This song might be almost as sappy as a hallmark movie, but musically speaking it’s SO GOOD. So thanks for playing it! Always been a favorite ballad of mine.
Absolutely amazing song and a fave of mine. "Cool Night" is another gem
Dan Folgerberg “Old Lang Syne” please Jamel- ❤️✌️
OMG yes Dan Fogelberg please. One of the best story tellers... "Hearts in Decline", " Our Last Farewell", "Sweet Magnolia", " Tell Me to My Face", "Lonely in Love", " As the Raven Flies", and " Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) are just some of the really good ones.
Yes!! I just commented the same thing before I saw this. That song punches you right in the heart
I was listening to Dan "Live at Carnegie Hall" today". Had the privilege of seeing him live twice; he was even better than on vinyl! Oh, how my heart still breaks at the loss of that beautiful soul! Wish J WOULD listen to him. And this reaction was wonderful

You’re playing all my easy listening love songs and I love it
This song was out when a girl was breaking up with me 40 years ago. I told her I would always think of her when this song was on.. I am sure she thinks of me when she hears this also.
So sweet!🍒
I bet you remember her kiss!💋
@@maryannturton9830 i am glad we are still friends today.
We always associate a song to a big love. I was a kid when I listened this song thinking I was in love. Good memories, of course.
This song reminds me of the break up from my first love...still does all these years later.
Paul Davis, absolute gem... multiple hits and... gone too soon!!! 💜💜
One of many of the best ballads of the 70’s! It wasn’t until much later in life I saw what he looked like lol. Yacht Rock!
I think you’d like “At this Moment” by Billy Vera. A mix of country, blues and soul... one of the best heartbreaker songs ever.
"Top tier love". So true. This is one of my favorites of all times along with I'm not in Love and Fooled around and fell in Love.
" Cool Night " " Sweet Life " both beautiful songs too ❤️
I love Paul Davis!! You might want to try out his song "Sweet Life" One of my all time Favorites!! I could listen to it over and over and over again!!
The “tinkling” piano sounds like Babe by STYX!
Also Hall & Oats I Can’t Go For That.
I was wondering when you would get around to Paul. Try Sweet Life and Cool Night.
yes!!! great songs...what a talent Paul was
Cool night! PLEASE. Rip paul! Great singer! This song reminds me of my ex many years ago. Still bring it all back when I hear this beautiful song! Love your video's!

“Please Come To Boston” by Dave Loggins. Beautiful song!
The Captain of Her Heart by Double! Another beautiful one Jamel!
"Do Right" By Paul Davis is my Favorite
Sweet Life, too along with ‘65 Love Affair and Cool Night. All great ones.
This is a song that mom and dad dance to in the living room after the kids have gone off to college.
I have loved "I Go Crazy", from my youth, such an amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing song, it never gets gets old, rest in peace Paul Davis, man u had soul and what a beautiful voice Xo
They say old lovers can be good friends...NOPE!Not when the feelings are this strong!🤷♀️
Lots of great Paul Davis songs. Cool Night, Sweet Life, 65 Love Affair, Do Right. Such a great voice...RIP.
I concur with all who've recommended Cool Night and '65 Love Affair! Also wanted to put the idea for Dave Mason's 'We Just Disagree' out there :)
I 2nd Dave Mason !!
*We Just Disagree*

*Look at You*
*Look at Me*
This is such a beautiful song. It never seems to get old. I think of this tune as a timeless classic. It's a shame that no one, that I know of, is making songs like this any more.
Takes me back to my childhood and the roller skating rink😎
So sad. Great songwriter. Passed away in 2008 from a heart attack.
