HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why' | EAGLES REACTION🔥

"I Can't Tell You Why" is a classic rock song by the Eagles, released in 1979 as part of their album "The Long Run." It's a smooth, soulful track featuring Glenn Frey on lead vocals and guitar, with Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit providing backing vocals. The song explores themes of love, uncertainty, and vulnerability, with lyrics that express the difficulty of explaining one's feelings. The smooth harmonies and laid-back instrumentation contribute to its timeless appeal, making it a favorite among Eagles fans.

Thank you for supporting this video, It really means alot

The cool back story of this song is that the guy who sang this song was a replacement for their previous bass player. He hadn't been in the band long when of of the Eagles asked him, "So, you have any songs for us?" and he said "Umm, I'm just the bass player, the new guy. I don't think anything I've written is up to your standards". The other Eagle said "Nah, we're all Eagles and we all contribute ". So the new guy said "Well, there's one song that I think is pretty good"...and that song was I Can't Teel You Why. Beautiful music from beautiful people.

[@GGLee315]

That guy was the amazing Timothy B Schmidt. He had been in Poco. Saw them when I was 15.

[@myownchannel247]

Everyone in the Eagles was a lead singer except for guitarist Don Felder. 🦅

[@morningsky8045]

Don Felder sang lead vocal on Visions from the One Of These Nights album.

[@belindachildress8013]

Well duh Don Felder was not in the Eagles to be a main vocal he was a star lead guitarist Shesh

[@garya7893]

He sings with his fingers Tasteful sweet leads

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

They all can sing, that's why they are so great😊.

[@jacksaintjack2844]

My favorite song of all time. The guitar solo is hall of fame worthy.

[@carmenwise2256]

💯👍🇺🇲

[@corawilhelm4968]

Every member of the Eagles can sing lead. This is actually the bass player singing

[@debrafox5576]

Lead singer here and playing base is Timothy B. Schmit! Love him!!! Don Felder on electric guitar is awesome! Don Henley on drums, Glen Frey on keyboard, & Joe Walsh on guitar- sang backup- just incredible harmonies!

[@moondancejackson5081]

So glad you liked this one. I love all Eagle songs; but this one is my VERY FAVORITE of all of them! Timothy B Schmidt has a voice from heaven. And that guitar solo kills me!!!!!

[@cyndigirl418]

Same here! This song just speaks to me! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@LiberalSoldier1]

Pure Fire!

[@patrickbrantley9904]

DON FELDER WAS THE GLUE THAT PULLED ALL THESE SONGS TOGETHER, ONE OF THE "MOST " UNDERATED GUTARIST OF ALL TIME..

[@annepinkerton6280]

With the Eagles, you write the song, you sing the song! They can ALL sing wonderfully. If you want great 5 part harmony, listen to Seven Bridges Road by them!!!!

[@ubilo]

The Eagles created so many evocative hits. The soundtrack of our lives.

[@mikemiller3069]

Another Eagles song sung by Timothy B Schmidt that is really good is, "Love Will Keep Us Alive".

[@cindydegraaff5083]

All the Eagles are singers. They had a “ you write it, you sing it” policy, so the lead on this song is writer bassist Timothy Schmidt, who you usually hear singing high harmonies. Don Henley, drummer on Hotel California, sang lead on that one, but he also plays guitar and various other instruments. Glen Frey who is playing keyboards here, played guitar on hotel California, but sings lead on other songs. Joe Walsh was on guitar in Hotel California, and he’s on organ here, very rare for him. Don Felder is on guitar and he was on the double necked guitar in Hotel California, but he still sings back up.

[@user-mv4be1tc2u]

Truly my favorite Eagles song, if a song can be elegant this one is.

[@cspringer333]

Great Reaction! That's bass player Timothy Schimdt. He took over my favorite Eagle's place, Randy Meisner. Check out the live version of Randy and the Eagles singing "Take It To The Limit". Link Copy and Paste... Eagles - Take It To The Limit (Live 1977) (Official Video) [4K]

[@catherineday951]

No matter who sings lead, the rest produce amazing harmonies...that was very much their thing.

[@Eurynomea]

This my favorite Eagles tune. Love Timothy B. Schmidt’ haunting vocals.

[@PInk77W1]

The Eagles have many good songs. This is their best

[@susanbezio6708]

Timothy B Schmidt is still recording solo today. He's a rare gem, love his stuff.

[@paolociarpaglini1303]

Best Eagles song, no any doubt 💯

[@victorjohnson7512]

They all sing, the early songs like this one were very smooth. They sold millions and millions of albums in the 1970's. Joe Walsh didn't join the band until the Hotel California album.

[@patrickbrantley9904]

And again , DON FELDER IS THE KING

[@davidfischer1138]

Each member sang song they wrote. All were above average song writers. A couple of them were great songwriters

[@paigeloomis]

Hearing this so many times, you can take it for granted. But it’s an amazing accomplishment. I can listen to this every day.

[@deronhess]

Don Felder's brilliant guitar playing also makes this song great. There is something to be said for the simplicity. Not flashy, just simple and perfect.

[@rondickinson8741]

Timothy B Schmidt rounded up the vocal on this one base player extraordinaire

[@roxannemaloney9837]

I'm so glad you played this song ❤

[@brendaclark8344]

Singers are Don Henley, Glen Frey, Randy Meisner, Timothy B. Schimdt and Joe Walsh. Other songs are Take it Easy, Lyin' Eyes, In the Long Run, New Kid in Town, Desperado, New Kid in Town, Peaceful East Feeling and my absolute favorite Seven Bridges Road. Enjoy!

[@roxannemaloney9837]

one of my favorite songs ever ❤

[@shelbys6572]

You can hear more of Timothy Schmidt in the band Poco. He is so soulful

[@coltonjordan699]

This is the most relaxing and beautiful song I’ve ever heard. The simple yet extremely strong guitar parts make this song one of my favorites. Don Felder was, and still is, an absolute genius. Throw in Joe and Glenn playing piano and Timothy’s unreal bass line you have the greatest combination to ever play a note. Period.

[@alexakl6445]

Ah yes - wonderful song. Kudos to Timothy Schmidt, lead singer here, and Don Felder, the lead guitar and his awesome solo. Yes, most of the group had their own songs and a couple had their own solo careers (namely Glen Frey and Don Henley). Don Henley who was the lead singer of Hotel California and is the drummer looks so different here without his afro. It's amazing how much a hair change changes a persons appearance. Love them! One of the top groups of all time. Great reaction!

[@stevetanner3019]

From 1972 to 1979, their prime years, the Eagles sound grew and transformed over the years. They started sounding almost country/folk, and as they grew their music became more soulful and often quite rocky. LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH!

[@jarrettenaope7038]

My FAVORITE EAGLE FEATHER OF ALL TIME

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

One of the most versatile and greatest American bands 😊

[@debrablumrogers5096]

My #1 Favorite Band EAGLES tied with CCR ❤🎵🎶🎶🎵Thank you for playing this.❤🔥

[@user-cv1jf1wq2m]

FYI EVERY single member of The Eagles was/is an absolute master musician and outstanding vocalist! Enjoy! 😎🎸

[@lepoetress]

We all had that reaction, Sir. This is such a smooth groove.

[@Anne.Pinkerton]

This is one of my top 5 Eagles' songs!!!

[@lisavaca5022]

Love will keep us alive! Beautiful vical from Tim!

[@CherylHungerford]

They have been around forever so it's hard to label them. In my time late '70's early '80's they were "Rock" and then "Southern Rock" and now "Classic Rock" and I'm not even mad about it! As long as everyone keeps hearing the live version

[@HSTSSLPSML]

Timothy B. Schmidt is singing lead vocals, and Don Henley was singing back vocals, with Joe Walsh ,Don Felder , Bernie Leadon , and the two deceased members are Glenn Frey And Randy Meisner

[@lisarall9973]

Welcome to the era of guitar greatness!

[@marcieharreld286]

The Eagles have a rule...you write it, you sing it!! They all have great voices....that's one of the reasons they're soooo good!!! 🎶🎼🎵🎸🎧🥁🎤🎹🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘 Check out their song "Seven Bridges Road".....they all harmonize together and its SPECTACULAR!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@kahnarohan798]

He clearly said “I love you “ That’s why

[@beverlycoulston8058]

One of my favorite songs by them. Listen to Wasted Time and Lyin Eyes and Take It To the Limit

[@nancyskomars1230]

No one can come close to the Eagles for versatility, lyrics and that rockin band! My generation got the best music from so many different directions. From all corners, we got such amazing music. Southern rock, gospel, R&B, rock, it was all there for us. These guys built the table today's singers and musicians sit at and leave crumbs compared to this!

[@sanbeda82]

The singer is Timothy B. Schmit a Northern California native.

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

All members of Eagles sang lead on different songs. On this one, Timothy B. Schmit sang lead, he joined Eagles after the departure of Randy Meisner. Schmit was formally with the band Poco, a group I really liked.

[@pennyhill7680]

Phenomenal reaction😂 Love the way you Truly enjoy the music, your enthusiasm, commentary, just priceless. You will Love every Eagles song you hear, AWESOME Band. Much Love and Peace to You and your family❤

[@DewayneGore]

All of them could sing. Every single one.

[@avogrid296]

Love this smooooth 70's rock! So much emotion, but also so cool.

[@cica73]

I loved your reaction. This and One of These Nights are two of my favourite songs.

[@firecracker187]

Your reaction tickled the shit out of me... what a treat you are to watch react😊😊

[@brianvernon249]

The lead on this song made a decent living as a backup singer for almost everyone between 1981-1991.

[@AXXXDEAN]

Take it to the Limit.. live with Randy Meisner

[@ilovemusic4556]

By far my favorite Eagles song. I love seeing you discover this song after having a pre conceived notion of the band after hearing one song. There are many surprises in store for you on your musical journey. Enjoy the ride!

[@detroitlady7201]

One of my favorite Eagle songs! It actually saved my 40 yr. marriage a couple times. Made me think.

[@earlecorkran698]

Watch their early stuff : Take it Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling , Ly'n Eyes, One of these Nights. and on and on

[@jteal6251]

It was a delight to watch you react so joyously. Yes, it's a soft, gentle song. They are/were great musicians.

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

It's one of my favorites by the Eagles. They were such a versatile group of singers. I have all of their vinyl record albums in my collection. I still play their greatest hit album in my car. Wonderful driving music to listen to when I'm on a long-distance driving trip! ❤❤❤❤

[@richardkafka5625]

This is Timothy B. Schmit on led vocals. Everyone in this band can sing so the harmonies are always on point!

[@starfire6122]

Your reaction made me smile through the whole thing...so im subscribing! 💞✌️

[@joyceharkin3641]

Love this song - one of my favourite Eagles tracks - and there are soooo many to choose from!

[@willwhitman7534]

I absolutely LOVE the Eagles and they have a fantastic catalogue to listen to, both released songs but also their whole albums as well. The group had a great concept when it came to making music which afforded them many different sounds and while it's hard for me to pick a favorite, I would say that this song is WAY up there if not at the top! It's not overly long but hearing that bass line from Timothy along with his vocals and Glenn on the guitar, it's just beautiful, it's one of those songs, like Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, that you wish would just keep going.

[@tapduff]

Such a beautiful song, great vocals by all band members, plus the subtle groove, setting the mood. Great reaction!

[@tjrivers]

This is my personal favorite song…such a sexy sound, a wonderful romantic ballad.

[@bernie66]

In the Eagles they pretty much all sing. Great band. I enjoy watching your channel. 🎶👍💯🎵👏

[@beadybaby]

GREAT SONG! ❤️ The Eagles are similar to Chicago in that many of their members could be lead singers at any time and the others would cover on background. We had all the kinds of rock in the 60s 70s and 80s. we even had excellent pop music. Everyone else should be jealous lol ❤❤❤

[@wilkvanburen]

One of the things I love about today's a capella groups (like Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay) is they all have multiple people who can (and do sing lead) on various songs. It's unusual for a group of people to be comprised of great singers who choose to stay as a group instead of going out on their own. Back in the 70s and 80s, the Eagles were the soft-rock group that epitomized this uncommon occurrence. They were, individually AND collectively, top-notch, studio quality musicians, professional level singers, and hall-of-fame quality songwriters/lyricists as well. And several played multiple instruments at that level. Don Henley played drums and guitar, Glenn Frye played keyboards, saxophone, guitar, Joe Walsh played keyboards and multiple different types of guitar, etc. Overall, one of the best bands to ever make music.

[@louannlang7471]

YES!. Joe Walsh, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Tim Schmidt (THAT was LEAD VOCALS for this one ) have shared their talents on instruments as well as VOCALS over the decades. LOVE THE EAGLES.

[@shezarae8827]

This is, Timothy the bass p layer, singing, and he wrote this song.

[@stephaniejacobson4874]

California was Don Henley, this song can't tell you why, is Timothy B. , Randy, Glenn & Joe all sing the lead...... RIP Randy & Glenn

[@lindalee5866]

One of their sweetest tunes! That chord at 5:05-06 is sooo heavenly...

[@ivankaleoniefuchs333]

Every person in this world-wide legendary ROCK band sings. All of them sang in Hotel California as well. Auf Wiedersehen :)

[@thomaswhiston7067]

they all sing .... super talented band

[@anniemei8631]

Love Love how you read into the words and Understanding the messages!..Awesome reaction Vid! I'm 62 and realized long ago..Not even Love can survive a broken heart..Keep doin more Eagles!..Do Heartache Tonight!..Peace*..:)

[@rondickinson8741]

Perfection

[@KidBklyn]

The Eagles really soar. Great harmony always, along with great guitar. One of my favorites, even though it wasn't released as a single, is 'Wasted Time' from their Hotel California album. If you can, give it a try.

[@beadybaby]

Something you may enjoy by JD Souther and James Taylor is the song “her town too”. I know there’s at least one video with them just with guitars.

[@cyndigirl418]

This song!! This band! ❤❤❤❤

[@victorsalcido6896]

Thank you for your great reactions brother! The Eagles are soooo amazing. Musicianship at its finest. And yes, The Eagles have multiple singers. Timothy on this song....Glen Fry, vocals and guitar, the master Don Henley on vocals and drums and good ol Joe Walsh on vocal and guitar. Great harmonies. Hotel Cali is in my top five all time favorite songs along with tunes from metallica, Pantera, tool and Megadeth.

[@FUBAR1986]

Most of the original Eagles band members before they formed were part of Linda Ronstadt’s band and she encouraged them, but it was OK to form their own

[@antifax8434]

My friend, I don't know if you know that that shirt with that shield belongs to the biggest and greatest football club of all time.

[@genecase9464]

I love the version from the "Hell Freezes Over" tour concert dvd. Just beautiful.

[@michaelball869]

little brother I'm a 68 year old man still Rock and roll because I was so fortunate to grow up in the 70s with music like this. welcome to the greatest era of music

[@runtmc2jc]

masterpiece !!!

[@savett1]

9:58 Love seeing your reaction. I can tell you love music. I lived through this era and miss this music so much. Other Eagle recommendations… Desperado, take it to the limit, Todd Rundgren … i saw the light. And Carole King’s album tapestry is a masterpiece. Enjoy the 70’s!

[@cliff481]

In the beginning (60s). there were new bands that had OK backing musicians with a great singer, or great lead guitarist with OK rhythm and singer. Band backing harmonies were rare. Later on, when the chaff was separated from the wheat, some bands formed that were all great musicians and great singers. Two of them would be The Eagles and Steely Dan who you know already. They gave up touring after 1 year of success and stayed in the studio and used the most amazing session musicians for recording most of their albums. Great reaction, Thanks!

[@jimmyhubbard6681]

They all take turns singing, but mostly Don Henley, the drummer and Glen Frey on piano here

[@user-ez8sv2qs7q]

My favorite song!

[@garyneilson3075]

Cool reaction!

[@JanetHart-uk8ss]

I think you heard the background violins. I loved your reaction. This is my absolute favorite song. Thanks for your honest opinion. Your awesome. I’m a 70 year old woman, but I love all music. I love hip hop and rap, if it has a message. The old rap stars like Tone Loc had great lyrics without resorting to shocking words and violence to get people to listen to them. Further generations will listen to the message of life in the ghetto, but it’s the lyrics as poetry that they will listen to. It’s poetry put to music. The ghettos and the lives of people living in them are a story. I want to hear their story. Everyone needs to listen to the beautiful poetry of early rap songs. It’s angst and protest at its most extreme point. Although, “My Dingaling”, and “Funky Cold Medina” were just fun songs.

Timothy was in Poco before the Eagles. It made me sad when he left because I was a big Poco fan !

[@onthatdirtroad]

Your reactions are great, thanks!

[@tinastanley4444]

Best reaction ❤

[@Nana_Reads]

My favourite is Randy Meisner singing “Take it to the Limit” live in 1977 …. After he left the band was replaced by Timothy B Schmidt who sang this song.

[@289hipo]

If you love their vocals, react to "Seven Bridges Road"....

[@anita3018]

Love your reactions ❤

[@nancyskomars1230]

This is the caliber of music we heard back in the 60s and 70s. Influences were coming from all over. All these guys were gigging and jamming around LA back then. Their careers span over 50 years and that's exceptional. Please honor more from this generation. We are in our 70s and 80s and losing so many. One you might like is by Kenny Loggins. "Sweet Reunion". Lots of influences here too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp7bZqGHfN-dqtksi=d2rTvtQE3j3w1SL- Hurry back.
