First time hearing Thelma Houston “Don't Leave Me This Way” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@elmoomle4565]

BJ's got the whole 1970's 'Lincoln' character from the TV series, 'The Mod Squad'....AWESOME !! Great tune...the dance floor was always full in the discos when this tune was CRANKED....great times.

[@jollyj3285]

This song is irresistible ... have lived it since the 70s 🎉

[@eloisapompa5048]

I love it when you 2 dress up in the 70's outfits. It looks great on you both and you would have fit in perfect back then. I was there and know that right down to the jewelry and glasses, you both have it absolutely on point!

[@chrishadorn9272]

Thelma Houston is FIRE! One of my all time favorites. I'm so glad Diana Ross didn't record this one and I'm a huge Diana Ross fan. Thelma was talented, sensual and always left me wanting more.

[@tinahairston6383]

This was actually a remake of a song released by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. It was offered to Diana Ross as a "follow up" song to her Love Hangover but then was offered to Thelma instead which earned her her one and only Grammy award, Best R&B Vocal Performance, female, beating out Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Dorothy Moore and Diana Ross, lol. She didn't attend the Grammy's thinking that with that much star power she had no chance of winning so said she was at home mopping her kitchen floor when she won, lol.

[@rustlertime]

The crescendo in this song is pure inspiration and energy!!

[@jamesgonzales5285]

Ms. Thelma deserves more listens, her discography is awesome!

[@pmjeterjr]

one of my all time favorite songs! Love Thelma!

[@tomwallace3103]

You guys look great! Great song!

[@wfoster-graham6363]

Yep, take me back to my disco days! Love your outfits--indeed, they fit that '70s disco era vibe. Thank you once again for great content!

[@americanaforever6725]

the Disco outfits are awesome!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I still love this song. ❤‍🩹 Thanks Asia and BJ!

[@pumpkinhead34]

I saw Thelma Houston open for The BeeGees in 1977.I was 4 years old.My mom took me to the show.2nd row center. I still remember!

[@tinahairston6383]

LOL!!! Thelma was on last season's The Masked Singer. She still has a great voice!

[@pacnwguy9056]

I saw that too, and she looks and sounds astonishing for being almost 80!

[@DouglasMcCulley]

the all time greatest disco hit and my favorite!!!!!!! top 3- "Don't Leave me this Way' "I Will Survive' and "I Love the Night Life'

[@jwes869]

Ya'll got me cracking up with those seventies outfits. Spot on. Love it! ❤😂

[@AsiaandBJ]

Glad you enjoyed

[@terripanzarella6832]

One of my all time favorite roller skating songs from childhood ❤❤

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Great look guys, very authentic. Also great 70’s classic song. Let’s dance

[@TheWebcrafter]

1:01 - HAROLD MELVILLE & THE BLUE NOTES featuring Teddy Pendergrass released 'Don't Leave Me This Way' in 1975. It was covered and released by Thelma Houston in 1976, and British duo The Communards in 1986. Both versions achieved commercial success.

[@Timoeltejano]

This song! Love Thelma. she was amazing. And it totally turned me into a Disco fan back in the 70s as a preteen. Loved her and Donna Summer. My divas! Oh and Chaka Khan-my first celeb crushes!

[@soulgalorememories9921]

Seen both Diana and Thelma live and Thelma blows Diana out of the water with her voice. Check out Thelma’s version of The Rolling Stones “Jumping Jack Flash”.

[@liquidmojo3359]

HOW DID YOU GET THOSE OUTFITS! 😂 Asia Beautiful as ever, B.J. looking good Funk Brother. Thanks for bring this hit back, have not heard it in years. That lady has a voice from heaven, I'll have to check out the rest of her collection!

[@michaelasay8587]

Where have you two been??!!! Peeps can you tell me why we don't see this beautiful couple??!!!

[@michaelasay8587]

Hes a great dancer, you can tell. Im sure they both are!!

[@kristahartmann6712]

You guys look flyyyyy....I wish you could have dropped into a 70's disco weekend. It was every thing and more....every single night. The dancing was so joyous.

[@zebeho]

You 2 are just the sweetest people on KZbin, always bring a smile to my face! Sending love from Australia ❤

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thank you so much!!

[@jamesgonzales5285]

You two are old souls. You would have loved and enjoyed this time, I did! And still do! 🤟

[@Jean-Charles-x7p]

The theme clothing. is a FANTASTIC idea! Y'all should do more of it. Your reaction to mthe music + your reaction to each other is a definite win for all of us. Keep it up! 🔥

[@SoloArt8250]

The chorus is hard 💯🎼🔥

[@goldenstate66]

Heard this song for the first time in a packed theater in San Diego, California back in the 70's. It was part of the soundtrack from the Movie "Looking For Mr. Goodbar", starring Richard Gere and Diane Keaton. The ending was a real shocker. Nobody said a word and quietly walked out when it was over.

[@michaelasay8587]

Oh that movie....so good and frightening!😮😮

[@KingLeo-ng5tc]

I love this song and you Guys are Awesome ❤

[@craigmarkowski7156]

You guys are too cute ! As usual Bj's got me in stiches !

[@michaelasay8587]

They look fantastic!

[@marcelajones8943]

I’ve loved this song since it came out. Nothing else like it.

[@DouglasMcCulley]

the fros are workin' for you both!

[@americanaforever6725]

Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes version is great!! Teddy Pendergrass on vocals

[@Linda-y9h]

You two look marrrrrvelous!! ❤😂

[@carameldiva5131]

Hahaha OK Billy!!😂😂😂

[@loisrogers9042]

I can't count the number of times I danced to this❤😊

[@patrickmclain8735]

I was just thinking the same thing! 🕺

[@lex61519]

Ya cracked me up 😂 I love this song so much

[@portiamatthews9654]

Back in the day when you get ready to hit the dance floor, you and your dance partner would dance from the side onto the dance floor.

[@280Nox]

True, I heard also that "Don't Leave Me This Way" was originally assigned to Diana Ross and Thelma Houston was originally assigned "Do You Know Where You're Going To." However, Motown switched things up and gave Thelma ""Don't Leave Me This Way" and gave Diana "Do You Know Where You're Going To" for her Movie "Mahogany."" You can hear Thelma Houston's version of 'Do You Know Where You're Going To' here on KZbin as well.

[@carameldiva5131]

Yall killing this look!!! ❤😂😂😂

[@JamesBrendon-h4r]

Hope you all dance in the house to these songs .

[@cindyp1033]

Love this version 🔥🔥🔥

[@crowleybo]

Yes, we disco'ed our way into oblivion. It was fun.

[@kd8199]

One of my favorites to dance to back in the day. I also had a break-up with my first love. The song took on a whole new meaning.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

Watch Looking for Mr. Goodbar!

[@angelado3]

[@charlottedixon6628]

[@adrianharies9849]

This song hit #1 on billboards disco chart for 6 weeks #1 on billboards soul chart for 5 weeks #1 on billboards pop chart for 1 week in 1977.

[@carameldiva5131]

77? Did you say 77?? That was a damn good year😊

[@adrianharies9849]

@@carameldiva5131 Yes it was disco coming into play on radio stations

[@nolansteiner4771]

Hilarious! You gotta also listen to the original by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes (from a male perspective), it has a similar yet also different feel to it. Love 'em both!

[@carameldiva5131]

Asia looked at BJ like if you don't sit yo @$$ down somewhere!!!😂😂😂

[@angelaward7624]

Dancin in my chair!🎉😂

[@c.h.62]

BAD COMPANY...(run with the pack)...great song

[@bumperu]

I'm a rocker but I always liked this.

[@kimtaylor3866]

You gotta react to Adam lambert singing chers song believe at the Kennedy center honors. You will be mesmerized..i promise. I've never listened to a song and didn't wanna breathe through the whole song. You guys will LOVE IT ❤️

[@daniellaplume3840]

I love the version by the Communards

[@Koko_clair]

[@pacnwguy9056]

Definitely one of my top ten favorite songs from the disco era. Who can sit or stand still while this is playing? Not me!

[@JudyNauta]

You guys look great❤

[@gmarky81]

BJ was definitely born in the wrong time . This is HIM

[@bakercarl8518]

Y'all wow me out!!! Flashback!!! When I was in high school (which was 75% white). We had physical drivers education on Saturday mornings. This one Saturday morning these two white boys I had class with said hey man let's get high!!! They pulled out the best weed I ever had!!! I wasn't test driving because I was flying in a space ship 😎😎😎 BJ , i hope you don't have on platform shoes 😅.

[@From_darkness2Life]

Hola fam! Just finding and subscribing to this channel, after a REAAAALLY long time, adoring y'all's movie reactions! Like you, Asia, i'd heard this hook before, but didn't know that this was "THAT song"! This song & y'all's outfits, brought to mind a WONDERFUL film/show i'd love for y'all to react to on *Netflix called, ***"The Get Down"***!!! I think it's SUPREMELY slept on & i can GARANTEE that y'all will dig it, Jack!!!lmbo...but FOR REAL!!! Blessings to y'all for sacrificing your time & energy to bless us! If ain't nobody told your, I love each of you...just not like Christ do!!! Later!

[@notmyrealname1730]

The Communards did a great cover of this song. It's got a faster tempo and is more upbeat. I prefer it. Give it a listen.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

This song would've been a layup for Donna Summer. Either way its gold.

[@eseslappsfunk]

Blessings to ya both. Gotta good one for ya... CAROL SHINNETTE - CYANIDE LOVE... HAHAHA energy drink wear off 😂

[@SixthQuarter]

On a different note. You guys need to do a tune that nobody has reacted to yet and it’s a pure soul funk classic…. Gwen McCrae - 90% of me is you. Plus she also did the fantastic disco tune - Keep that fire burning and the groove classic- Funky Sensation. But so far, as far as I can’t find, nobody has done 90% of me is you. 🥰😎🔊

[@isaackovitz4791]

The only song I ever heard where the bass guitar is the lead backing instrument.

[@ellerootz6702]

Flashback

[@Joey-m5n]

Should be on Soul Train poppin the Robot moves in the dance line.

[@haroldpringle3691]

No m3ntion so far that Thelma Houston is Whitney Houstons Mom. Shout out for the great disco outfits.❤

[@ellen6638]

No she's not her mother was Cissy Houston. RIP

[@maggynewtown3500]

Just stop.

[@danieldurocher9279]

The original version was by Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes , but my favorite is Thelma .... bonne journée !!!

[@quirky_trickster_dot]

I have one for you to react to. "My Girl Bill" by Jim Stafford. A 70s hit that will entertain

[@OrondeBranch]

This is definitely on my Spotify playlist. Disco and Funk are the Parents of House Music so this gets REGULAR play from me.

[@ericarachel55]

damn, I can see the disco ball and all the strobe lights.....

[@ElizasGrammy]

Save that get up, BJ. Wear it, if you guys ever react to Sly & The Family Stone "If You Want Me To Stay". 😂

[@brenthowell6148]

Check out some old school rap from the 90's, Punks Jump up and get beat Down by Brand Nubian
