AMERICA - LONELY PEOPLE | REACTION

[@2715bunky]

"Horse With no Name" "I Need You" are two great songs!

[@sherryarflin726]

Horse With No Name is a must !

[@freebirdtony]

Excellent suggestion Sherry.👍

[@feferosette]

Yes! Love that song.

[@Bill_Jones.]

When it first came out I was convinced it was Neil Young.

[@sherryarflin726]

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! I did also...

[@Renkk17]

Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin

[@davewilson435]

"Sandman" is a good one.

[@bscott5965]

Didn't know they were still together. About 10 years ago a local radio station played an advo for an upcoming show of their's at a Casino in Tama Iowa. Jumped at the chance to see them and they DID NOT disappoint! Sandman was one of the highlights of the night. Simply outstanding concert

[@davidshultz1560]

See a couple suggestions for Bread. Can't go wrong there had lots of hits but you should start with "IF"

[@4tuneagent]

Agreed.. also "Riverside".

[@philpartynski3125]

AMERICA! Yes! Don’t Cross The River and Only In Your Heart. 2 gems! 😎🎶❤️

[@michaelnorman3393]

Two great choices! 💕

[@myownchannel247]

Dan Peek wrote this song and was one of the three members of the band, all three wrote great timeless music

[@bearballin]

America is fantastic... Lonely People hits all those wonderful harmonies. Other songs (you haven't reacted) to check out from them are "Woman Tonight", "Sandman", "Muskrat Love", "Sister Golden Hair", "Horse With No Name".

[@kennethgodwin7769]

Wasn't muskrat love a song by captain and renelle?

[@bearballin]

@@kennethgodwin7769Capt & Tenille did a cover of Muskrat Love in '76. America did their cover in '73. The song was written by Willis Ramsey and it was in his solo album from 1972. Here's America's version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGW6c2mKf7xjorc

[@h.c4898]

Muskrat love. Love it.

[@Lewis9709]

America "Sister Golden Hair" is a must listen.

[@wayneguess7946]

A Horse With No Name, is their best song! IMHO!

[@waynebush7934]

Bread is another band similar to America that I think you would enjoy, IMO. Their song "If" is a classic.

[@trevortamboline279]

"Sister Golden Hair" is a GREAT song... you'll love it!

[@TexasRivermedic]

America was the first band I ever saw in concert at 11 years old at Mammoth Lakes, CA in 1983

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

It's better to leave you wanting more, than to overstay one's welcome. "A Horse with No Name" and "Sandman" should be next.

[@michaelyork4554]

"You Can Do Magic" is one of their big hits, and a great song

[@fleegerbriggs5694]

The late Phil Hartman from Saturday Live Fame, did the album cover.

[@michaelnorman3393]

True! Great trivia! 😀

[@michellezaleske-estrada40]

Definitely check out Bread. They were huge in the 70's.

[@michaeltipton5500]

I think I was about 19 when this came out. I'm 63 now.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

They were actually huge when they came out. I got to see them live some years ago at Disneyland. Man, they sounded fantastic!!!

[@jerrypost9651]

America really is a remarkable band. Living in London in 1968, my group actually was involved in a battle of the bands with these guys. We were all juniors in American high schools, and they took home the blue ribbon. Check out "Daisy Jane" and Horse with No Name."

[@simon2077]

I'm 72 played the hell out of this song. It's a great positive message. Most songs in the 60's and 70's were 2-3minutes for the sake of radio airplay. Yes I still have the vinyl from all those years ago. Thank you for not commenting until after the song is over. Those are the only reviewers I prefer to listen to. Otherwise, it's ore about you instead of appreciating the music.

[@dannycasson1551]

Awesome band. A ton of hits. Once again you’re hitting the sweet spot of the 70’s and 80’s music. Absolutely check out Bread as others have suggested. They know what they’re talking about!

[@paulm.5979]

Nice reaction, this band and Bread have that sound that is timeless.

[@jimmyaye4204]

Another great song from them is "Daisy Jane".

[@angier5775]

This one’s my fave 💖

[@tomtrahan8485]

They were really fun. They really brightened our summers. We were so blessed and we took it for granted..... we thought it would never end. Then disco hit. And music has never been the same. A steady downward spiral...

[@briansredd]

Man, I was hoping you'd check out "Horse With No Name" next. When you do it, I'd go Audio / studio version. You'll dig it!

[@freebirdtony]

Wilburn, so far you've reacted to four outstanding songs by America, to round off the quinella, throw in "A Horse With No Name". 😊✌

[@dougieyou]

Nice reaction, We use to play this album on Sundays after a heavy night of partying and chill out it was and is a perfect album to make you mellow and feel good. They had perfect harmonies and such a great sound...still rocks today.... good choice.

[@Kim-hc5si]

America is a whole ass vibe. 🎶🎶🎶

[@39thala]

I went through an America phase when I was younger. I couldn't get enough of those guys

[@michaelyork4554]

I wore this album out a couple times, the entire compilation is great, they have a unique enough sound that the album is one entire piece of music to me

[@heyou702pc]

Wow! Have not heard this song in a while. Thanks for your reaction.

[@slimpickins9124]

MY fav by them is "Horse with no Name".

[@keithetherington4824]

Take It Or Leave It by Foghat is another soft rock song that didn't get a lot of air play. But it's one of my favorite soft rock ballets that you would enjoy.

[@panda9144]

These songs were made for AM radio play back in the day. Not until FM came along that songs were longer.

[@sherryarflin726]

The guitar work in America is always impressive.

[@bemused9522]

Haven't heard this since I was litty. Thank you for the memory.

[@gaylemitchell5881]

They were on the radio at all times

[@ElusvOptmst1]

'Horse With No Name'... 'Sandman'... 'I Need You' more suggestions.

[@talltulip]

Surprised you haven't reacted to Horse With No Name! That was a pretty big hit, and may have been their first. Very distinctive sound to it.

[@cherylpereira4216]

Love America!!

[@anniegoodrich262]

There's something about that folk/easy vibe which never gets old. Check out (if you haven't already) At Seventeen by Janis Ian, Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson, Everything I own by Bread, Help Me by Joni Mitchell, and just for a fun lift, Kodachrome by Paul Simon. I promise you will love them all.

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

the era of writing songs.. 💎

[@allensaunders449]

Still exists many pretend it doesn't they don't really know

[@larvt]

Another short song from America and it is a must “Today’s the Day”.

[@kenperk9854]

That was at a time that a song of of more than 2 minutes was on the verge of getting kicked off the radio for violating the 3 minute rule. Even the freaking Beatles made nothing but 2 or 3 minute records back then.

[@SickiR]

Yea but good ones, it’s The Beatles. America was also after they in the 70s by the Yoko already Lennon by the Balls for years

[@inspectorvol951]

First heard this around the time my dad passed in 1978. 14 yrs old and was completely lost. In an odd way it helped. Same with Linda Ronstadts music at the time. Now for the PSA portion of this post. It was unknown to any of us then, but 40+ years later I understand....seek out and use grief counseling. If you don't deal with it, it can eat you up.

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

my grandfather who was the male role model for me... was murdered in 1972, I was 15... there was no such thing as grief counseling back then and I went to school the next day.

[@Renkk17]

Procol Harum - Whiter shade of pale

[@digittbr1688]

Silky smooth.

[@armorer94]

Dan Peek said he wrote this as a response to the song "Eleanor Rigby".

[@bangmon1000]

I agree with others about the bands Bread, Air Supply and Lobo are soft rock bands to react to. Also someone mentioned Jim Croce who you probably heard some of his songs in movies. Some of his songs: Time in a Bottle, I Got a Name, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Operator, ect.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Think you would enjoy "Don't Cross the River".

[@kenperk9854]

Wow, more than 45 years have passed and I never realized it was America singing this song. Maybe I was abducted.

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Dire Straits... Men at Work... Lobo... Jim Croce... Paul McCartney & Wings... When you think about the proliferation of music from 1969-1980... It was real easy to be 'under-rated'! :)

[@keithetherington4824]

Sister Golden Hair by America. Tin man, Hold Me Tight

[@TexasRivermedic]

Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown

[@feferosette]

I love America. They have some great songs. Please react to Horse With No Name.

[@wayneguess7946]

The ONLY drawback to America is, there isn't a lot of content out there! But what they have is Top Notch!

[@michaelnorman3393]

All my Life is gorgeous, lesser known tune. 🙂

[@h.c4898]

Love "daisy Jane" from that album.

[@wombat3455]

A lovely life-affirming review 🙌🙌🙌

[@lisarainbow9703]

For other fantastic acoustic & vocal harmonies, I recommend checking out The Lovin' Spoonful, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young...

[@savagefund7706]

Sandman is one of their best

[@joelliebler5690]

Great song and band. You really need to react to the band Bread which is even better with more great songs!👍🏻❤️☮️✌🏻🎹🎤🎼

[@Ken-vk8pb]

This is my favorite song by America but I also enjoy Tin Man, Sister Golden Hair, Ventura Highway, Sandman, Daisy Jane. I have never really cared for A Horse With No Name and Muskrat Love. You Can Do Magic from 1982 is good also.

[@vanessalore9942]

Chod, Air Supply is another band in the same vein. They have quite a few hits as well. Here’s a link to All Out of Love, if you’re interested. It’s the official music video No pressure, lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjHi3irorOFo6s

[@leroyrodrigues4885]

If you get a chance do Sandman from America that song is awesome or even Tin Man

[@davidsonchris737]

Check out I need you, you can do magic, Daisy Jane😊👍👌👍😊

[@shihyuchu6753]

This guy is a Christian...and he had to leave to pursue obedience to Jesus. Good for him!

[@rynwin1]

DanPeek was a Christian, and he actually did a revised version of this son, replacing ride that highway in the sky with give your life to Jesus Christ

[@39thala]

The record is actually a little slower than this audio you have. Somebody sped this one up . Dan's voice isn't quite that high pitched in the song. Here's a link to an audio with the normal speed kzbin.info/www/bejne/apO2hpKMqbWaeNE Here's Dan and the group singing it live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mICoY5Jrm8-Gftk

[@sandylee6025]

Thank you!! Much better version!

[@lightingprotogo]

Agreed. Sped up quite noticeably

[@davidaronson9475]

I was wondering if I had my playback speed set at 1.5

[@frankamodeo7310]

Can you react to I Feel Fine by the Beatles official music video,thank you.

[@kg7507]

You need to react to "Three Roses" next it's so good!

[@johngarcia7774]

Please try the Temptations Hey Girl (I Like Your Style). It’a an underrated gem with awesome vocals and killer sax. I think you’ll like it. Thank you for the consideration.

[@cspringer333]

A similar band that is a little earlier than America is Poco...GREAT music. Check out "Keep On Tryin'" kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvGn6xvo5h0ndE Furay and Messina came from Buffalo Springfield. Messina went with Loggins and were huge. Timothy Schmit (long hair and lead singer on this song) played with the Eagles. Randy Meisner also went to the Eagles and many consider him the best singer of them all. "Take It To The Limit" live. Rusty Young was the road manager for Buffalo Springfield before forming Poco.

[@gaylemitchell5881]

Wow where did you find this?🧡

[@timbillings6884]

👍👍

[@allensaunders449]

Skipped the bands best song a horse with no name

[@toddcrain9511]

I want to request a different kind of music for you to react to. It is a song called Teddybear by C. W. McCall. It’s a song that tells a story sung by a trucker.

[@theresazachara4372]

Have you reacted to Dan Hill. If not you should

[@dougnelsin1480]

Check out Daisy Jane. It's another short but sweet time.

[@dougnelsin1480]

tune

[@kennethgodwin7769]

It should have been longer.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

What Up WB, check out RIVERSIDE and SANDMAN.

[@marcuswood5975]

I thought I'd joined you but I guess I didn't I fixed it

[@JuanGutierrez-mf4xd]

I don’t think you know much about music mate
