Great song, the harmonica solo is from none other than Stevie Wonder! Lovely reaction as always, Angela!

[@wesleyhester9829]

This song came out when I was in Basic Training . My wife and I had just gotten married in 1983 and this song became very special to us. Now 39 years we’re still together.

[@VikingJeff]

His post '70's material is so overlooked. I would recommend "The One", "Little Jeannie" and "Empty Garden".

[@larrycox8685]

The little "doo -'doop" lick you like in the verse, is Elton's nod to Elvis' "Stuck on You." Exactly the same feel.

[@lucancherby]

I've been listening to this song for 30 years and I never realized how busy the bass is in that song. I guess it helps if you use headphones

[@charleslively1714]

Elton was the man back in the day!

[@gallery963]

Rolling like thunder, under the covers.

[@davids2096]

Elton has so many to choose from! 1 that comes to mind is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and another one would be Tiny Dancer! Maybe you could play them next time! One other thing, Eltons' lyricist is Bernie Taupin! He came up with those imaginative lyrics! Ciao!

[@wendyduehr8086]

His band is amazing too. I've seen Elton twice.

[@jofoster1596]

One of my fave EJ songs

[@michaellombard894]

Isn't his musicianship and orchestration outstanding. Then depth of lyrics, variety of style of songs! An amazing musical treasure. Sir Elton.

[@mickeykmiller]

Sure takes me back to a much simpler time. Great reaction. :)

[@idanwillenchik3050]

Elton John is one of the best vocalists of all time,come on. Everybody knows that!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Elton John "The One" is my FAVORITE of all his songs... And that says A LOT bc I love all of his songs. ❤️ (original version). Major goosebumps! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmalkIV7jMqBma8 His song "Sacrifice" is actually tied for 1st place. Here's the link to that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKOvnIeQp7WNd5Y

[@jediwalker2010]

“The One” makes me cry 😩

[@hubrisnaut]

I pared down my "reaction" channels to a few, including you. love your sincerity

[@singingwordwright148]

I had the pleasure of seeing Sir Elton probably 20?? years ago. It was just him and a piano, no band, no stage show, just music and I absolutely loved it. Then he played one of his more classical, piano only compositions and I realized that I was sitting in the presence of the Beethoven of our era. He's a rare, amazing talent.

[@pokeround]

I was a metalhead when this album (Too Low For Zero) came out and I loved it! One More Arrow is another heart-wrenching tune from the same disc. Great reaction.

[@magneto7930]

I remember quoting this to a woman I had loved, saying "I simply love you more than I love life itself."

[@andrewkelley434]

"The One"; "Healing Hands"; "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That"; "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"

[@patrickmoranmusic9205]

I'm a little late to this reaction, but few have done this one well and you made if feel like I heard it again for the first time. ❤️

[@clare1061]

Elton John is a musical Master he can sing The phonebook. What a blessing it was to have him on my car stereo cruising I75 in Detroit windows down, hair blowing and singing as loud as we can.

[@jayrob5270]

Lovely song by Elton and the harmonica solo by Stevie just blows me away every time.

[@WalkerOne]

Yes this is the first Elton song i actually heard and liked the 1st time i heard it. The rest of his songs i had to grow into.

[@ants8527]

This a 1983'' 80s babies classic And 1 of my favorite songs hearing as a kid back in 83'' And i liked this song from Elton John ever since then🎶😎

[@danjoda755]

Very very nice pick and reaction, Angela, thank you. 😇 Might you be interested in another classic by Sir Elton, "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters"? Beautiful lyrics and very excellent musical arrangement and composition. 😁

[@rocksteady20101]

Thank you for this reaction!

[@russ4862]

Beautiful song and reaction, Angela! Second to none! Here's to your next one! 🙏🤗🌹

[@peterfields4801]

Genius,grown up & grown old listening to Elton,saw him live recently,unforgettable!

[@Guiliani8767]

Please play Crocodile Rock!!! Great song from Sir Elton John!!!

[@howtodoitdude1662]

The background vocals always gives Elton’s songs that hook!

[@thomaswhite7783]

An incredible artist and master of his craft and an amazing writing team; Bernie writes the lyrics and sends them to Elton who composes the music around them. They seldom collaborate in person and the result is an amazing catalogue of music.

[@firealliancenx]

My favorite version of this song is from one of his Live album that he sang with Mary J. Blige, so good

[@SilverBoxStudios]

One of the best and underratted Elton John songs is "Empty Garden" which is his tribute to the death of his friend John Lennon. Definitely worth your time for a listen

[@phillipradcliffe8037]

Correction: Elton IS a great vocalist.

[@marieaug9322]

She needs to hear thats what friends are for to see how he kept up.. 😒 unuh, sweet girl

[@rubenreyes3327]

Elton John is The Greatest! Hello from Texas..Angela.!🇨🇱❤🎤

[@idanwillenchik3050]

I wish you could have uploaded the song's video which is like a short romantic movie. It really compliments the song which is one of Elton's best.

[@sjoekiloeki]

Elton John has many great hits, very talented musician and I love looking at you too, with your beautiful smile.... and you're so drop dead gorgeous😍

[@TheCornishCockney]

You know great music girl,you seem to feel it,and that’s the whole point. Keep on lookin back at the best music ever. 60’s,70’s & 80’s…… you know it makes sense.

[@ajm25100]

Here's another Elton John song with Kici Dee Don't go breaking my hart.

[@chrishodgson6302]

It’s great you’re reacting to Elton. There’s hundreds to pick from but my favourite is Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.

[@williamcalderon9158]

I’m so glad you reacted to this song. Elton John has a catalog of songs rivaling anybody some suggestions for you Sacrifice, Sorry seems to be the hardest word, Nikita, Daniel, just among other songs love your reaction love your channel.

[@miken.2847]

Great reaction!

[@miket5763]

This song is actually about a soldier going to war and missing his girl

[@adua78]

He’s amazing vocal stylists. Unmistakable and emotive vocals.

[@randlnickel9196]

My God We rolled under the covers hundreds

[@Thebestaustin-d8f]

Maybe my favorite of his 80s hits. His longevity on the charts was remarkable! At least one top 40 hit on Billboard every year from 1970-1999! 30 years!

[@terrymalone1844]

How is a beautiful girl like you not married. Elton is great.

[@susanstavrou4232]

One of my favourite songs by him

[@barbsmith5465]

If I have a fav Elton song this is it.

[@kevincaulder9001]

This a great tribute to those soda shops and high school days way back in the 2oth century. The Stray Cats have an equally nostalgic tune to remember those long gone times as well. It's called, I WON'T STAND IN YOUR WAY. Being the romantic we all know you are watch the video to get the full dress rehearsal of the song. Brian and the boys hit the bullseye with this one. Keep a tissue nearby. You'll wish you were there.

[@idanwillenchik3050]

You remind me of Erica Gimpel who played Coco on the TV show Fame in the 1980s.

[@ddicin7759]

Little Jeannie Little Jeannie Little Jeannie. A masterpiece.

[@Ocrilat]

This has a really well done music video too. It's like a little movie.

[@robbielux8353]

Beautiful beautiful song and beautiful beautiful reaction

[@russellchrom]

I'm sure you would love Empty Garden ,it is dedicated to John Lennon when he passed ,and is one of my favorites by Elton John!

[@ptournas]

I love your reaction and you're right it is a great song!

[@johnashley327]

I love the video. Huge Elton John fan in the 80's.

[@monalisasmile6629]

Stevie Wonder doing the harmonica solo!

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Great choice. Doesn't get much attention. Would like to hear "I want Love". Beautiful song.

[@danjoda755]

To honor Meatloaf's passing, would you consider reacting to one of his classics? Maybe Meatloaf and Marion Raven, "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". I'm deeply shocked and sorry to hear this awful news, damn Covid 😢🕊️

[@user-ju4pr7zc6t]

Great reaction! PS you’re real pretty 🤩

[@ellerootz6702]

I love this song! Sing it Elton!

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

2:14... Be careful how you wield that giggle young lady, you have the potential to break many hearts with that...

[@bradsullivan2495]

This was a single from his comeback album in 1983. After being blazing hot from about 1971-76, he cooled off considerably. Part of it was not working with Bernie Taupin for a stretch, but also drug issues.

[@labguru7628]

Agreed with everything your said except Elton John is one of the greatest and most distinct vocalists in music history.

[@saintsefo4763]

Hi, Angela. As usual, a great reaction to a great song. Stay safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

[@jamespasifull3424]

You like the harmonica??? You MUST MUST MUST hear the legendary Larry Adler, play Summertime, on his harmonica! Especially the live version, on the Parkinson TV show, where he was accompanied by the world's premier violinist, Itzhak Perlman!!! 😲😲😲 I swear, it's THE finest piece of music you're ever going to hear!!! 😍😍😍

[@scottherangi8411]

Please please please react to "Something About The Way You Look Tonight" by Elton John. I absolutely guarantee you'll love it....

[@dgoodman1968]

I was supposed to see Sir Elton in June 2020 .....it is supposedly happening in April fingers crossed!

[@jimdunagan4180]

I like this as a "newer" EJ song but check out stuff off Mad Man Across The Water......maybe even Holiday Inn...but that whole LP was cool

[@nedeast6845]

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, the entire album, is a masterpiece

[@PhillP3833]

Love this song!! Listen to Aretha Franklin, Till You Come Back To Me, it'll be your new favorite. 😉🤷👍

[@Ocrilat]

FYI this is the same band he had back in the early 70s (70-75), when Elton was more or less on top. It's hard to mistake those backing vocals. And back to the amazing quality and speed of the writing of the songs. The album was written and recorded in two weeks. And just about every song is fantastic. My fav non-hits being Cold as Christmas, Saint, and One More Arrow.

[@Billythekiddnz]

The video really tells the story. Sad but true

[@richardrodriguez2120]

My Gma loved this song.

[@billmammele5229]

And of course nobody plays this harmonica like Stevie!

[@jamesgalimo1007]

Two of my favorite songs from Elton's 80's era, "A Word In Spanish" and "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" Check it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imOui3eGqraqqKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZKtg6mQj6ehjpo

[@jackschaberg4970]

for an emotionally powerful song, please react to Elton John's Ticking from Caribu.

[@talos4971]

If you watch the video you'll be able to grasp the context of the song......just a suggestion.

[@jaemyrick5277]

Angela, if you haven’t. You should watch the Elton John Bio movie “ RocketMan”. It is unbelievably entertaining. Taron Edgerton strikes gold for his portrayal as Sir Elton John. I loved it. Spoiler he had a lot trauma and demons in his life. Elton wasn’t perfect. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@chrissharkey3085]

You could spend weeks reacting to Elton's songs, but while his 70s stuff is the gold standard, he does have some great 80s tunes past the hits as well. I like Blue Avenue in particular, but also Crystal, Stone's Throw from Hurtin', Two Low for Zero and Sartorial Eloquence.

[@jorgeestomba9888]

REQUEST : Oh Babe What Would You Say by England's Hurricane Smith , a most unique song !! Be well

[@Pugiron]

Elton John "Last Song" when you need a good crying song.

[@digittbr1688]

You can never go wrong with some EJ.

[@daleclark3900]

Great reaction cutie

[@michaelsnyder8072]

Stevie Wonder on harmonica.

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Mama Can’t Buy You Love is a good upbeat song by Elton

[@MrNitro071]

Elton John....The real Queen of England.

[@Billythekiddnz]

It's about a boy who went to war

[@mastadonwesley1042]

☺

[@bobdelp2023]

HEY ANGELA! :) SO THIS IS OFF OF HIS 83 ALBUM ( TOO LOW FOR ZERO ) YOU MIGHT TAKE A LISTEN THE TITLE TRACK TOO :) BE WELL

[@michaelchilcott210]

You Need To Listen To Elton's Song MONA LISA'S AND MADHATTERS. You Would Love That One.👍

[@keithneale3055]

Take a look at the video for this.

[@llschnitz]

The Official Music Video to this is one of the greatest videos of the Eighties. It is Cinematic and Wonderful, but I guess you were concerned about it getting blocked?

[@matthewdropco]

Not sure if the official video got blocked, but it's was really nice when it came out and it made the song come to life Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues . : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmeuinSMo52ipNU Also also, MJB did it live with him in 2000. It was so awesome!! Elton John & Mary J. Blige - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues (Madison Square Garden, 2000) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/omG0gnSroZiBgaM

[@matthewdropco]

if you get time. she did Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest word as well . You'll probably ball your eyes out, but it's so good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5amkntjiK11kM0

[@gandalfshakur8235]

Such warming beautiful chorus despite overbearing the core that humans are formidable sheep that are born just plain stupid.

[@behindenemylines9033]

You should do a review of Loverboy….Take Me To The Top. Awesome

[@eduvalsan9453]

Reminiscing - Little River Band please

[@alaniz1224]
