Oh, I most definitely remember and like "Sweet City Woman". It really brings back memories of when I was in elementary school.
This is another song of the summers of my youth. Canadian groups and singers were quite a thing back in the 70s. This is such a cool tune featuring a bangin' banjo. Thanks, Stampeders and 🇨🇦 for the memories. I say it all the time.....Oh, Canada!!!!
Believe it or not, I can remember when this song came out in 1971 when I was in first grade and I have loved it ever since!😀
I lived in Calgary for a while as a kid in the mid-late 70's and remember this song on the radio all the time (this would be 5 years after it was released)
This is one of my “go to” happy songs. i love the banjo.
This is the only version I've ever heard. Such a great song. Thanks
One the best of the oldies...
Bon C'est Bon is what they are singing!!
And in case anyone cares, "Bon, C'est Bon" is french for Good, It's Good.
This version was all over the airwaves in the summer of 1974. It reminds me of the World's Fair in Spokane, Washington at Expo 74!
I'm Canadian and used to hear this on the radio a lot in the 1970s. I didn't know there were any other versions.
A country rock band from Calgary sprinkling in a little French, probably wouldn't happen today. Bon c'est bon everyone!
I heard this a thousand times when I was a teen growing up in Canada. Saw them live in the '70s and then within the last 15 years.
This song was a big hit here in the states. It always gave me a positive feeling. I think the banjo has something to do with it. I didn’t know there were any other versions. I actually never knew who did it. Now that I know they are Canadian, the French refrain makes more sense. 😂
Debbie Chang, there was a lot of "feel good" music in the 70's. World would be better if we had that again.
honestly probably the only french those boys knew being from Calgary.lol
@@williamralph8396 ..that's funny...and the song is a bit Cheezy but what the heck...they are still Canadian...we stand on guard for theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....................
One of my all time favs 👌❤️
I had no idea there was another version of this song, I’ll have to check it out. I went to university in Alberta (though many years after this song came out) and Sweet City Woman still got a good amount of airplay. Fun reaction as always! ⚡️
I think this song was current when I was at the U of A way back when
I also never knew about the James last version (1975). The Stampeders' version (1971) is the only one I've ever heard on the radio over the decades. It received almost endless airplay. Still does on some of the oldies stations. The Dave Clark Five did a version of this song the same year (1971) because the Stampeders version failed to chart in the UK.
Stampeders guitarist Rich Dodson wrote this song 1971 and played the distinctive banjo. Written in Dodson’s basement apartment near Bloor and King Street in Toronto, the song’s infamous banjo line was actually an on the fly decision he made on the way to the studio. “I had originally written that part as a guitar lick,” he says. “We were recording the album at Toronto Sound Studios and one day, on the way over, I rented the banjo because I just thought it would sound cool. It really was that wide-open back then. “I love Montreal,” says Dodson. “I’ve always had a sweet spot for that place. That city was good to us in our early days, and so the French part of the song, ‘bon ci bon,’ is sort of a little nod to them.” It is one of the few regularly-played Top-10 hits to have a banjo as its primary instrument. The following year in 1972, the song went on to win a handful of Juno Awards including, Best Single, Songwriter of the Year (Rich Dodson), and Record Producer of the Year (Mel Shaw), with the band being named Canada’s Top Group overall.
This was such an uplifting song that immediately got you in a good mood with your foot tapping! Love it!
I love the song and haven't heard it in more than 40 years. It definitely takes me back to a simpler time-not necessarily better. 😊
Such good memories... Makes you want to dance
In Canada the riffs are typical as it mimics the guitar licks also known as the Mouth guitar Rik Emmet of Triumph does the same thing back in the 80s, Try another song Then came the Whiteman another of their songs and they do a cover of the old Rock n Roll Hootchie Koo back in the 1970s Minstrel , Hit the Road Jack ,Ramona , Rocky Mountain Home is earthy like most of their music. Most Canadian Bands are underrated but earlier bands in the 70s broke down the barrier with US Market at the time those who lived close to Canadian border heard music stations from the North and others from the soyth heard guys like these years later.
Triumph played the US festival aka Mudfest on the second day and gave a million dollar performance while Van Halens DLR forgot a lot of his lyrics and Iron Maiden played great .
Great Canadian group! Saw them live about 20 minutes from where l live here in Canada. Sweet City Woman was a #1 song here in Canada and Top Ten Hit in the USA. They had many hits here in Canada. WILD EYES is one of my favourite Stampeders songs. It was a huge hit here in Canada reaching #2. Love to hear your reaction to it! 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My day was great. Glad your day was great as well. This is one of my favourite songs.Hi drone Canada🇨🇦
I didn't know anyone else knew this song , I love this song , thank you hun
I've always loved this silly song. Very catchy and unique sounding.
You can’t keep from dancing. 🎉❤😮Such a great vintage classic masterpiece. 💃🏼💯🙏😘
first live band i ever saw in 1975 and it started my journey and love of live music!
good memories....Cheers
Good Time Music at its best!
Great pop song...hooks for the ages...
I loved this song. Nice to hear it again.
YA GREAT SINGERS AWESOME BAND❤
Good old Canadian boys wrote and performed this song❤ you should check out their other hits!
Stampeders. Travelling to the city as we were moving from the farm...1972. Never forgot it.
Cool haven't heard that song in forever
I grew up with this- I never knew who did it! Great smooth harmonies- loved the guitar solo☺
Another hidden Canadian gem.
Again one of my favorites growing up.
Stampeders were huge in Canada - lots of hits like "Wild Eyes", "Minstrel Gypsy", "Oh My Lady", "Playin' In The Band".
Carry Me is another wonderful song of theirs
What a great song. I. Remember it well
Its so fun & im clapping with you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You just can"t sit still listening to this awesome song!! Hi Harri ,great reaction..
As a kid, I delivered the local newspaper to one of the members homes.
Hello Harri..Song was originally written and released in 1971 by the Stampeders..no..not members of the football team of the same name ..this was a huge success for them..and treat yourself to more of th 7:15 eir music..they had many albums
Love this song!!
Carry Me by the stampeders is also a great song!
You should do a reaction to Stampeders 'Playin' in the Band', the most underated pop rock song of all time...a minor hit in Canada, circa '72 - ish....awesome slow rocker with an indescribable groove...one of my favourite songs of all time...i have the 45...haha
First 45 record I ever bought at the age of 10. Great reaction!
End of summer, 1971, the tree planters ball, small town Northern Ontario Canada … That was the song of the night 200 miles south of James Bay.
Harri, this version is the only one I know of since I first heard this as a 12 year old in 1971.
Lovely tune Harri .
Wonderful ambiance it creates .
I'm a new sub. I've watched your reactions for a bit of time and subbed because your selection take me back to me elementary school age, I'm very nesrly 70 so i heard these songs freshly published and aired on pop music radio stations.
Thanks for showing some love to us Canadians, They also had "Devil You"; Carry Me, Oh My Lady and Hit the Road Jack with the old DJ Wolfman Jack for a bit of comedy relief.
Pls also consider listening to Colin James - Voodoo Thing, Five Long Years, Dream of Satin, I just came back, Sudden Stop, Why'd you Lie, and for some Big band Swing, Cadillac Baby.
When you remember a the movies you heard it good song
I just found and listened to the James Last version. The Stampeders are way better!
Yes, that's a banjo. This performance doesn't show the banjo because it's to the dubbed audio from the record.
Always a fun one..👍🏻
good band from western Canada
The lead guitarist played the banjo on this. Banjo players used to ask him how the hell he was playing those chords...they couldn't figure out what he was doing. He took off the 5th string and tuned the banjo like a ukulele to get those chords. The banjo players were like..."you bastard"...lolol!
Oh gosh Harri, this takes me way back! Thank you for another great video!! Cheers from Texas. Xx❤🙏
Yes, great memories for me too, when by boyfriend during the 70's (!) used to call me his "Sweet City Woman" when I lived in NYC.
Stampeders had 14 Top 25 Hits in Canada. Wild Eyes will give you completely other feel of the Stampeders.
Your feet tap when this plays
The very first concert I ever went to was The Stampeders. It was 1972, I was 11. Estevan, Saskatchewan. Bruins hockey arena. I came out with my ears ringing!
Haven't heard it in years either. Had actually forgotten about it. Thank you! That was cool!
MY BROTHER HARRI I have a very good feel good song for you .TRY the Whispers and there song , Working my back to you babe, From late 1979 YOU WILL Thank me , Take Mr Harri
@@theodoreritola9758...Then you will no doubt love the link below...also from the Whispers.

Theses guys were the number one live act in canada from 1972 to 1976. Lots of hits in 76 they added a horn section. Listen to playing in the band. Written and sung by bassist ronnie king. But all three wrote hits and sang. Great live band
You should see a Canadian band called the poppy family ...but mostly solos by Susan Jacks. “Good friends” “which way you going billy” “all the tea in China” pure heaven from the 60s I believe
please explore more music from Canada. love you Harri xo
Used listen to these guys on top 40 radio back in the day...hats off Harri
I just love this song. My favorite when it came out (I was 9) and among my faves ever since.
The video cracks me up. Clearly nobody playing the banjo and nobody playing the cowbell.
Harri your shirt is too cool.
My hometown Calgary's band. Check out Stampeders classic rock 'Wild Eyes.EVERYBODY!
The Dave Clarke Five did a cover in 1971, as the original here, did not chart in the UK.
I had the lp this song was on. This song & the whole LP was very good. Never heard another version.
Yeah it's a great song this reminds me a lot of mongo Jerry you probably heard of them I'm sure it came out with a song called in the summertime I love Michael Jerry's sideburns on that talk to you later have a good one keep up the good work
It was supposed to say mongo Jerry not Michael Jerry
This is the only version I've ever heard. I'll have to look up the one you mentioned. I'm enjoying your reactions, especially the ones I grew up listening to in the 60s and 70s! I just subbed today. :)
I love this song too! This is the only version for me although, I've heard some very good covers.
Nothing like Old school Music
Straight up classic Canadian Rock, from Calgary Alberta Canada…home of world famous Calgary Stampede! Saw them many times, a solid group!
Because the lead guitarist Rich Dodson plays the banjo and he's "playing" the guitar too, you can't "see" the banjo, besides, this is a TV program and they are doing "playback".It was very usual then on TV programs.
YAY CANADA!!!
It really IS a banjo at the beginning of the song. Check out a video called "Behind The Vinyl." The band member says he went to a music store and "borrowed" the banjo for the recording and then returned it the next day.
The store should sue 😀🤣
Great song and reaction! May I suggest ''Carry Me', 'Wild Eyes' and 'Devil You' from them? Done. 😂👍😘🎶💞
Great song!
Sooo long Moi! Sooo long Moi ...neighbors and friends along with the c'est bon is probably the ONLY French those Calgary boys knew!! The farther west you go in Canada the less french you hear.
There is another not well known Canadian band (other than in Canada) and nobody has reacted to their music yet. Junkhouse is the band...hit songs are Out Of My Mind, Praying for the rain and Shine. Give them a listen and tell us what you think.
try Herb Alpert, "This Guy's In Love With You" if you haven't. I love your reactions, especially when you hit one from your childhood.
They're saying "Bon, c'est bon, c'est bon bon bon, c'est bon bon". "c'est bon" means "it's good" in French. 😊
Sure, Harri. There's a Fender double neck banjo.
Its like a New Orleans style
It's interesting you should say that. The Stampeders actually covered the song - New Orleans - originally by Gary US Bonds!
@@Zebred2001 no sht , awese
@@Zebred2001 thank you
If you want to hear a totally different sound from the exact same band, look up "Wild Eyes". It's another great song, but for totally different reasons than this one.
From Canada
Check out "Wild Eyes."
I've never heard the cover your talking about
The originals
It's been longer than 25 years for me
Check out Orleans "Dance with me" "Still the one" Kenny Nolan "I like dreamin'" Robert John "Sad eyes" Sammy Johns "Chevy Van" you might have heard them before
this is the original
nice
Hello my old friend
Howdy David
Love your Channel please react to Brewer & Shipley One Toke Over The Line
c,est bon is french for it's good
As you can tell it wasn't live.
I never saw a Banjo, was the guitar making that??
