HOMEFREE - When a man loves a woman | REACTION

[@WearingTheArmor]

Welcome to the Home Free a capella rabbit-hole! You'll have your mind blown with all of their 200+ videos out there. They NEVER disappoint.

[@dagmar.6954]

Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. Drummers have often commented on just how realistic his sound is. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

[@theidajawho]

Also Austin's woman is on the camera, you can really tell when he looks that way.

[@ferrisdonoso4556]

Austin (the lead in this one) is of course unreal, but I am also blown away by Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, and his amazing drums - the realistic quality and the perfect artistry.

[@GivenToe]

They are both great 😁😁

[@kumasenlac5504]

The crazy left-to-right riffle before the key change is unreal !

[@patrickhumphreys5851]

What's cool is that they recorded this at their separate home's in different states hence the monitors because of the lockdown they even have a album called the sounds of the lockdown

[@catherinemoore_williams7960]

Never heard of homefree but love singing and love hear more beautiful voices.

[@theidajawho]

you should listen to more Home Free.

[@johnhelwig8745]

Actually Michael Bolton's version is a cover too. The song was written by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright and first recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966. This recording became number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts. Michael Bolton, country singer John Wesley Ryles and Bette Midler all recorded a version of this song. You should react to Home Free's The Butts Remix... once you are done with the patreon suggestions.

[@jeannebrown3254]

I never heard Michael Bolton do this song, but loved Percy Sledge and the way he did this beautiful song. I think he would be proud of the way Home Free did it. This was a fantastic cover! Thank you for your reaction.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you!

[@sag2horses]

HOME FREE WILL DO THAT TO YOU EVERY TIME

[@belinda9696]

Wow! I loved your reaction to this. I hope you can check out more Home Free.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@minneyruth]

Austin killed this! 😍🔥😍

[@mjackson780]

You can't go wrong with any of Home Free's music.

[@elzbietajukic905]

That's a first time I'm hearing Homefree but I'm loving it. The lead singer has amazing voice and the harmony is incredible. It's hard to make a good cover of the song that well known and they did a fantastic job.🎵🎶🎤👏 Enjoyed your reaction (as well as the singing in the corner) very much.😁👍🎶🇵🇱

[@GivenToe]

Glad you enjoyed it Elzbieta 😁😁😁😁

[@ginnykerlin]

I loved this version sung by Austin Brown of Home Free. His voice is amazing and he doesn't have to strain to hit those notes.

[@babyfry4775]

Austin (lead here) and Adam (beatboxer) killed it. This was during the pandemic so I thought the use of tv’s was clever. Michael Bolton’s version was also a cover of the Percy Sledge song. Loved HF’s version. Good reaction!

[@GivenToe]

Very smart to do it like this! Thank you 🙏🏻😁

[@jameshaberkorn8728]

Definitely talent there. It does blow the mind what all voices can do. Enjoyed your reaction as much as the song which was awesome.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you very much 🙏🏻😊

[@bernieregnier4500]

Home Free is remarkable with their presentations whether covers or originals. They do not put out crap. Not many artists would take on singing a capella. This group excels doing this a capella all the time. ❣

[@tada-us1rf]

So many Home Free songs I can listen to endlessly and never tire of them or be amazed by them. Thanks for your great reaction!

[@GivenToe]

Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@StevesTubes]

I hope there are a lot more Home Free songs on your wheel!

[@GivenToe]

Indeed there is 😁

[@reginaminton1135]

Austin did a terrific job with this amazing song from Percy Sledge. The guys in the background are great also. With all of them in their own homes it was amazing. Pandemic is what caused the guys to find a way for people to still have their music 2 times a month. They are so good. Thank you for reacting to a great song.

[@GivenToe]

[@anitawright7169]

Austin killed this. The background harmonies are so awesome! Percy sledge did this originally, he would be so very proud! Love your reaction!

[@GivenToe]

Great stuff 😁 Thank you! 🙏🏻

Percy Sledge sang this 1st in 1966

Really love love this version 😍 absolutely magical to hear songs and use the voices as instruments. Thanks David 🥰

Its amazing 😁😁😁 Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

So soulful and deep 🎉 He has a beautiful voice

Really lovely! 😍

[@Alacarte0421]

If you are an artist or group out there, you really don't want Home Free to cover your song. They simply steal it from you.

[@csutton161]

The great thing about HF, when they do a cover, They make it their own so you REMEMBER it...All the members of HF are talented beyond belief, there is no lead singer, so they all get to shine. I'm looking forward to more reactions. Percy Sledge is smiling down on them!

[@chilcootchicks4968]

Aren’t you happy with that spinning wheel outcome? Love what Home Free does to a song.

[@GivenToe]

Indeed I am!

[@tracyallshouse2730]

Awesome reaction ‼️ This is my favorite rendition of this song 🎵 ♥ ❤

[@GivenToe]

Thank you! 😁😁

[@Kim-AK-Radioteam]

Good evening. That song is so beautiful. 🙂🙂

[@JoanN63]

Yes, Austin Brown nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say it was better. But this one from Home Free certainly is.

[@elainevigil6128]

I never heard the Michael Bolton version although watching reactors, I have heard that he did. I have yet to listen to his version as I think this version from Home Free did Percy Sledge great justice. I am sure he would be proud of them too. Thank you for your reaction, glad you enjoyed it.

[@GivenToe]

Michael Bolton did a great version of this one 😁 Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@ingerbjorkman6373]

Den här versionen var bland det bästa jag hört..den här gruppen måste jag utforska lite mer👍 Tack David för en trevlig musikstund 🥰

[@GivenToe]

Ja denna var grym 😁😁😁😁 Tack! ❤️🙏🏻

[@billrice3250]

The high notes in the runs after the final "when a man loves a woman" are an A5 and B5 -sung flawlessly.

[@GivenToe]

Epic 😁

[@roberthudson1959]

Austin can reach D6, so he is still in his comfort zone when most tenors are struggling at the top of their range.

[@joywright8794]

Decades ago my first time hearing this song was the original artist Percy Sledge. It has always been my favorite, because it was my first hearing and therefore my first love. Michael Bolton's version was in line for the first cover of this, and it was unique enough of a take on Percy's so it went into the line up. Many people have covered this piece, but now there a 3 in the line up of outstanding renditions with yet another cover that does justice to Percy's original. I think it would have to be something stirring enough to touch my soul again like these 3 have done. A Beautiful song plus talent on loan from god is what it would take to be consider entry into this hall of fame!

[@alannaturner6758]

Yeah Michael Bolton he was a great singer back in the day, beautiful voice & seemed like a lovely man👍David you certainly are playing some different type of music...I think it's great & fun, as there is great musicians old & new... Nice one David 💙☮️🤙

[@GivenToe]

So happy you enjoy it, I try to make this a community where almost everyone can find something they enjoy 🙏🏻😊

[@grannymitch6707]

I love watching the gobsmacked look on people’s faces when Austin hits that first note! Austin nailed this and made it his own. I grew up on the Percy Sledge version, vividly remember when Michael Bolton’s version came out (and loved it) … and this blew Bolton’s away, IMHO. Didn’t hurt that Austin’s girlfriend was standing next to the cameraman….

[@kaelynshea5533]

When a man loves a woman...Homefree masterpiece...well one of them . After Majestica and Sabaton home free is my number 3. I know I am not a patreon but I asked for that too. Austin, who is the main singer in this is amazing. He has 5 octaves... ( Tommy has almost 4) that is insane. And even more insane...Tim Foust, the bass has also 5 octaves. He just starts lower. Their harmonies are absolutely amazing. There is lot more where that comes from. But you have to stay in the right order. Next try out their cover of brothers in Arms of Dire Straits and then Mayday , cover from Cam. Then you can figure out what they can do.

[@GivenToe]

Sounds cool Kaelyn 😁

[@beadwright]

Austin's lovely lady was in the studio and Austin had her stand next to the camera. So he was inspired during this song.

[@GivenToe]

Epic 😀

[@debbiestumm511]

Wait till you react to them singing Boyz to Men - End of the Road! Rob murders it and takes you to church!! 😁

Time for more Home Free. Over 200 videos; musically, from the ridiculous to the sublime, their vocals never suffer. Wait before you watch Mayday until you’ve watched some of their videos, otherwise you’ll miss the Home Free (HF) experience of the opening of the song. I will subscribe for your HF reactions

[@suzannelabbe8997]

ya that was pretty good !!!

[@Наталья-р7н5г]

All over the world, this song is perceived as a Michael Bolton song. No need to make excuses. A dozen other performers sang this song. There is no such violent reaction to anyone else. Well, they sang and that's fine. Here, everyone is infuriated that Michael is definitely number 1. HF sang great, again closer to Michael's version😂

[@johntucker4296]

Have to call this Home Free ft. Austin Brown. He/they totally blew previous versions out of the water.

[@sag2horses]

PERCY SLEDGE IS THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR AND SINGER OF THIS SONG

[@dianefreeman7194]

Remember that Bolton's version was a cover of the Percey Sledge original. This blows Bolton away and even tops Sledge

Yep Austin does great in this song. Rob shines in Boys to Men cover End of the road. Sometime in 2023😅

[@teresacartwright5406]

I always loved the late Percy Sledge's original (not so much Michael Bolton's - I thought it rather over-wrought). I love Home Free's version & I think Mr. Sledge would have approved. You really need to dive down the Home Free rabbit hole - each of the band's members is lavishly talented. By the way, two of them (including the singer of this one) are song writers. Home Free has original songs as well as covers and then are loads of live videos on their channel and on the channels of the individuals. I just subscribed to your channel - love from Canada.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you Teresa 🙏🏻😊

[@theidajawho]

Percy Sledge Cover.

[@larrywright3132]

I always liked the original by Percy Sledge, but Home Free just made their version my favorite

[@kmwwrench]

Yup. Wow pretty much covers it. I've never liked this song, neither Percy Sledge nor Michael Bolton. Still don't like the song. But the guys killed it. Awesome backing harmonies. Perfect percussion. And, of course, Austin soaring up into the stratosphere like it's nothing. Great reaction. I couldn't help but laugh, knowing what was still coming. More Home Free on the way, I hope.

[@d.h.a.2700]

Percy Sledge owned this song until Austin, no disrespect to Michael Bolton. Home Free killed this cover. Welcome to Home Fries!

[@GaiaOne]

Michael Bolton? Yeah, no. Not even close. This was Percy Sledge's hit. His version was full of angst. Austin's rendition is full of love - he was singing to his girlfriend who was in the studio just off camera. Those looks are real. Austin owns this now. No one else could take Percy's song and make it even better.

[@teddytarp]

It would be a shame not to balance that song with the female counterpart. Try Helene Fischer doing "The Power of Love". kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6O9mJ9ngL6nrMk

Apparently it doesn't kill enough. Close in performance to Michael Bolton, not Percy Sledge. Michael took this song for himself and that's a fact. The cover is better than the original. There's nothing you can do about it
