Hearing a Brit say "Who's Eric Clapton?" makes me laugh and weep at the same time.

[@lmportch]

I came here just to comment. That song is so profound. I have children of my own and I tear up every time I listen to it.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

That was sosososoosso sad

[@chanmi1957]

My thoughts exactly. Lewis needs to talk to someone and learn more about the artists that shaped the music he hears now as "samples." So many times he shouts "wait, that's from so and so! You mean they didn't write that?" So much of any music after the early to mid '90s is sub-par.

[@ItsWhatYouThinkItIs]

Eric Clapton’s poor son, fell out of that New York high rise…. That’s why he wrote Tears in Heaven….

[@tinahairston6383]

Not to mention, when he reacted to another decade, there was Eric Clapton covering "I Shot the Sheriff" and he stopped to double check the facts of the song. His first taste of sampling and covers, lol.

Elton John-"Candle in the Wind" October 1997. He sang this song live at Princess Diana's funeral at Westminster Abbey in September 1997, so the song became very popular. Her death was widely mourned in the U.S. He donated the global proceeds to Diana's charities.

[@joannemiddaugh122]

I hadn’t realized that either until watching this. 70s had more original music. Plus, while it appears that many people here know a lot of 90s songs, I wonder how many will be remembered a few decades from now.

[@dking1836]

Not just the 70s, but the 60s, 70s, and early 80s... my daughter's wanted to listen to "their music" on the car radio in the 1990s... then I started singing along, over and over again, and they finally realized that SO MUCH of the 90s were rehashed covers. Early artists didn't have Autotune. If you were good, it showed. If you were only so-so, that showed too. Even some of the 1960s songs were copies of 1950s songs, but the 1990s reached a new level of copying.

[@fastecp1]

I knew it. The best music comes from the '60s and '70s; of course, they're going to copy it.

"Streets of Philadelphia" is a song written and performed by American rock musician Bruce Springsteen for the 1993 film Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks, an early mainstream film dealing with HIV/AIDS. Released as a single by Columbia Records in 1994, the song was a hit in many countries, including Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, and Norway, where it topped the singles charts. In the United States, the single peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Springsteen's 12th and latest top-10 hit. The song received critical acclaim, including the Academy Award for Best Original Song and four Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Best Rock Song, Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television. In 2004, it finished at number 68 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top songs in American cinema. The song is listed among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

[@HemetNefer]

About Scatman: 1. "Scatting" is a way of using your voice as an instrument in Jazz without using words. So the "ski ba ba bop" etc would fit that exactly. 2. The dude had a strong stutter and ended up using this to his advantage by creating fast pace scatting that many people struggled to keep up with.

[@CarlGorn]

Fun Fact: The Michael Jackson era started back in the 60's when he was part of the group his dad formed with Michael and 4 of his brothers - The Jackson 5. He was the lead singer on so many songs, despite being the youngest of the boys. They had their first hit in 1970, "I Want You Back," followed by several more that defined the soul/funk side of 70s music. His sisters, Latoya and Janet had to find their success as solo artists, though Janet found acting success as a child. She played Penny, an abused girl the Evans family protected, on the sitcom Good Times(48 episodes there), and had 10 episodes on another sitcom, Diff'rent Strokes, playing Charlene, Willis's teenage girlfriend.

[@group-music]

Janet Jackson was also one of the stars of the Fame tv show.

Cher's "Believe" was the first time AutoTune was OFFICIALLY announced as being used.

[@marshsundeen]

For sure.

[@courtneyperry82]

Just to be clear, Madonna started in the 80s and continued her reign in the 90s. Mariah Carey's success began in the 90s. The song I'll Be There is a remake of a Jackson 5 song. Elton John was a 70s artist but he continued to make awesome music in the 80s and just to be clear he did write the music for the original Lion King. Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist in history. He did a cover of I Shot the Sherrif in the 70s. Give it a listen.

[@stezenast5878]

Clapton was good for his time but he's not even top 1000 by modern standards

[@PhxVanguard]

The late 90s "Latin Sound Explosion" featuring Ricky Martin, J Lo, Enrique Iglesias, and later Shakira, Daddy Yankee, etc was thanks in no small part to Selena Quintanilla's cross over that sadly happened months after she died. Often called "the Latin Madonna", she was a fashion icon, music legend, actress and amazing all around talent who died at only 23. She quite literally launched J Lo's career, when J Lo was selected to play her in the biopic movie about Selena's life, titled "Selena". her channel on KZbin still outperforms other, more contemporary stars with songs like "Como La Flor" leading the way with just shy of three quarters of a billion views. June 1995 should likely have been represented by "I Could Fall In Love" as this was a chart topper on both English and Spanish language charges, marking the first time and English language track had topped Spanish language charts in history.

[@shecamt]

I listened to Thompson Twins, Peter Gabriel, Pete Townsend (The Who), The Clash, Tears for Fears, Billy Idol, Wham, The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Spandau Ballet, Eurythmics and on and on. The UK had some of the best artists from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

RE Michael Jackson, he had so many hits that we just expected him to give us nothing but greatness. Also, in the 90s, so many of "the bangers" were played in gyms around the country. They were great to work out to.

You should hear both singers sing WITHOUT YOU. Mariah Cary covered it, but Harry Nilsson first sung it in 1972 when I was a kid. They sound quite the same,Mariah really didn't change anything.

[@jhawkkw87]

Harry Nilsson's version is actually a cover of the original by Badfinger released in 1970.

[@George-ux6zz]

@jhawkkw87 That's true! But Nilsson's version is much better. So I forgot about Badfinger.

[@George-ux6zz]

@jhawkkw87 It's like people call the song, Power of Love a Celine Dion song, UT it isn't. The singer and co-writer is Jennifer Rush in 1985 if I'm not mistaken. Celine was only a teenager at the time.

[@jhawkkw87]

@@George-ux6zz Agreed, Nilsson's version is a true classic.

[@jhawkkw87]

@@George-ux6zz Another good example featured in this video is Killing Me Softly, which many people attribute to Roberta Flack even though the song is originally Lori Lieberman's. However Roberta's cover is legendary, so many are completely unaware of Lori's version.

Dude, I was in 7th grade in ‘97. That’s when I really started listening to pop music on the radio on my own. ‘97 got me lit up with the joy of nostalgia. 😂🥰

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO full of GREAT MUSIC!! 🎶 I've recently discovered your channel, and I've been binge watching ALL of your videos! Definitely too many great tunes to pick a favorite.

[@Xassaw]

Yes and they were all copies of our songs from the 60s 70s and 80s and there’s one actually there from the 50s. People in the 90s had no imagination or talent

[@kimberlycakes7236]

My kids were 90"s kids not me but out of ones on the video, which ones were copies? I actually liked most of them. (Other than I will always love you, was originally written by Dolly Parton.)

[@kimberlycakes7236]

@Xassaw Whitney Houston copied Dolly Partons "I will always love you." We all know that. But other than that, out of this video, who copied who? I would really like to know?

Ok so L3W I'm not even kidding about this: My Dad's company, Syndicated Rhythm, were the ones who produced (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You by N'Sync. And I think one or two other songs. He was working with Universal at the time and it as his first really big check. We still have the Platinum award for it and some other music award. (No a Grammy, producers don't get those.)

The Fugees version of Killing Me Softly was a good cover of the original. The original was sang by Roberta Flack which is also very good. :)

Luther Vandross did a good cover too. Probably just a few years before the Fugees

[@Slane583]

@@scandalfan1667 I'll have to give his version a listen. I'm mostly familiar with the version done by the Fugees because that's all they played during the 90's. I only really discovered Roberta Flack's version last year. While I like both I like Roberta Flack's version better. :)

Roberta Flack's version is also a cover, the original was done by Lori Lieberman which was released a year earlier than Roberta's version. Roberta actually heard Lori's version while on a flight from NY to LA and when she landed immediately called her agent to get the rights to do a cover of it.

Madonna was first popular in the early 80s, but she reinvented herself about every 8 years, so we are to the 4th iteration by now. I watched out of curiosity. By this time I almost exclusively listened to CDs or grunge, and grunge was a Pacific Northwest thing that may not make many top song lists (think Nirvana, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains, Bush). Elton John still plays, but his 1997 song was a tribute after Princess Diana died.

17:45 Elton John while being a prima Donna to staff and having very many troubles that might make people hate him, he's one of the greatest pop song songwriters in all of history for real. Brits should feel quite proud and honored to have his talent come from the English islands
