IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! First Time Hearing Exile - Kiss You All Over Reaction

[@jillosler9353]

Back when men could tell a woman she was beautiful and sexy - and she didn't find it offensive! Thank God I was living the love back then. Great song.

[@joelliebler5690]

Oh so true or just date an older woman who will appreciate affection!😄

[@betsyduane3461]

Still can! LOL Tons of songs saying the same things today, just not in the office.

[@lgempet2869]

Yes, as a woman, I can say it should “make any woman’s day” to hear that….at least the right woman’s. Any woman who wouldn’t appreciate it, you shouldn’t be interested in anyway. It can be expressed in a respectful/complimentary way & if/when that happens, it’s an all-around “win, win.”😊👍

[@davidpolston4172]

Or maybe today's women don't put up with creeps

[@mikemiller3069]

I graduated high school in 1978 and as time goes on, I'm more and more thankful for growing up in that era. We had the best music in every genre. In rock, there was Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Boston, Styx, Kansas, etc. In folk we had James Taylor, Carole King, Cat Stevens, John Denver, etc. It was a very rich time, musically, in all genres.

Yeah, this song was fire back in the day and it’s still a great song now. Totally timeless.!!

[@gordonpatterson8615]

The late great Jimmy Stokely with the long hair, they lost him at 41 years of age to hepatitis. This was / is their greatest hit to date. A real earworm of a tune that never seems to date.

[@parkeydavid]

Watched Exile performing this on The Midnight Special when I was a kid. My parents allowed my brothers and I to stay up late on Fridays to watch

[@pennynolan7597]

Nice to hear, this generation appreciating the quality of the music and lyrics. We grew up with it, just taking it for granted and loving it.

[@caffeinebill]

In the 70's we listened to AM and FM radio, cassettes and 8-track tapes in our cars.

[@donalddixon6541]

AND played records on our stereos........

[@chuckwhite3176]

Haven't heard this one in years! The harmonies of the '70's and '80's are hard to beat, and a big reason why today's music quite frankly isn't as good.

[@chuckwhite3176]

Your right about the cassette thing, Phil. Your choices in the '80's would have been fm radio or cassette (and maybe a dated 8-track, but those were mostly phased out by then). CD's weren't mainstream 'til the '90's. And you learned the hard way not to leave your cassettes laying on your dashboard in the hot sun, lol.

[@merlinathrawes746]

Let's not forget the 50's and 60's and the great groups from back then like the Association, Frankie Valli and the Four Season, The Beach Boys and many, many others.

[@FrankTaylor-gm1jj]

SAM, it really showed how much you enjoyed this song 😊 Or was it the whole KISS YOU ALL OVER idea that got to you? Either way, I truly enjoy your physical reactions You two are great!!!

[@lindabergman3127]

Right 😂 I’ve been listening to the little River band harmonies man they were fantastic ❤ it’s a long way there and NightOwl are fabulous songs

[@757optim]

With all their faults, radio was indeed the medium that brought music into greatness and the record companies found & filtered the talent.

[@Mare_bear738]

Excellent song❤ Yes, the harmonies were awesome. So nice to hear this one again❣️.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

So nice to hear it for the first time too!

[@jerrybennett2404]

Exile went on to be big in country music in the 80's.

[@donalddixon6541]

Yep, i was devastated after that. They should have stayed rock....

[@randall-king]

They had some great ones! • Give Me One More Chance • I Can’t Get Close Enough • Nobody’s Talkin’ • She’s a Miracle

[@kennethgodwin7769]

Didn't they do a country version of Kiss you all over?

[@jdogjohnson382]

​@donalddixon6541 get out of here ha ha I like their country ones.

[@LinkRocks]

@@kennethgodwin7769 They did re-record for one of their Greatest Hits album in 1990.

[@SG-js2qn]

This is an example of rock with country influence. The harmonies, in particular, were a hallmark of that era in country, with bands like the Oak Ridge Boys.

[@JulieConkle]

Jimmy Stokely (long hair) sadly passed at 42 years old from complications of Hepatitis. He WAS this song, to me, and even though the group is still around, I feel he was the draw for the song back then.

[@suzannesprague]

I agree

[@JohnB.-pk1uf]

Eight track and cassettes, vinyl and radio was all we had. They may have been a one hit wonder in pop, but may have had a number 1 in country. I loved all of the music in the 70s, but also 60s and 80s. I had about a thousand records. Then I converted them to cd, and accumulated 5,000 cds. I absolutely love this music.

[@John_Locke_108]

You will never get this song unstuck from your brain now that you've heard it. And that's a good thing.

[@frankmerris8821]

i was a teenager in the 70s and im pretty confident i grew up with the best music

In the 1970's Artists wanted to sound at least as good Live as they did in the Studio. The Musicians took pride in sounding like they did in the Studio.

[@masheltonjoe]

Bet there was a lot of love making to this song in the 70’s! 😝 I’ve always loved this song

[@jeffmaltby6185]

when they all kick in on the " Till the night closes in " reminds me so much of The Bee Gees

[@stevedahlberg8680]

70s kid here. Great reaction. Strong memories of my first girlfriend in the summertime when I was a 9th grader and she was a 10th grader. This was on the radio a lot and she and her sister also bought this album along with a bunch of other albums, and plus I had a bunch also, and this was so popular for a while, and whenever they sing, I want to kiss you all over, she would flash me this devilish grin, and it would just totally slay me, lol.

[@minnesotamerry8672]

Back in the 70s, my brother and I didn't have much cash, so we held tape recorders up to the radio to record songs we liked.

[@garyr7027]

Back in the day this was an excellent song to listen to at the skating rink on a Friday night. It's a fantastic tune and no one, i mean no one disliked it. Everyone got into it, even the older generation.

[@marchelton5446]

70s greatest decade ever in music

[@davidahart2113]

You overlooked the excellent piano work on this song, especially on the line, "when the night closes in." That's the instrument that Shands out to me. Thanks for the reaction, B & B!

[@groovydjs]

One of their country oriented tunes, "Super Love" is worth a listen for sure.

[@cyclops60]

I remember the song but had forgotten Exile! This was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They wrote many hits for many artists, most notably the Sweet and Suzy Quatro. Cheers.

[@rc391995]

I don't know about that but ill Google it . I thought jimmy and JP Wrote that.

[@threekidzmom04]

I started my freshman year in 1970 and graduated college in 1978 and I have no regrets! Love our music and so enjoy younger people appreciating it!

[@brendaallen1250]

My husband and I enjoyed our first dance together as man and wife to Exiles "YOU AND ME" from their "MIXED EMOTIONS" ALBUM. The whole album is great.

[@brendaallen1250]

P.S. We have been married for 44 years.

[@rc391995]

Your right I can't remember if it was 2 or 3 albums they cut. There music was out of this world good this is the only song they did that made a major hit . Stokley had a vocal range out of this world. Hold Tight Woman was very good Devils Bite almost made it to hit status . They played at club 68 in Lebanon KY twice a month almost cost $3 to get in I was about 20 miles from there and spent the weekends there. Th lead vocalist maybe the best male vocalist I've ever heard . he did die from hepatitis and a broken heart JP can tell you about that if you can get him to tell the truth about it. Their then manager had JP to let stokley go. That was their end as far as pop rock goes they was far better at rock than they are/was country.

[@firefighting_yeti]

They are still touring... just seen them and Alabama a little over a year ago. They are still sounding good live.

The music of the 50s 60s 70s and 80s was the best music in my opinion That's not to say that there isn't some good music today I was born in 68 this music takes me back Not just back to another time it was a different world Listening to the music from back then is like looking at photos of a long passed friend and all the memories that go with it

We steamed up a lot of car windows to this song back in the day!!! Ahhhh....the 70's was a great time to be a teen!!!

This song was HUGE! It spent a bunch of weeks at #1 in 1978. They were a one-hit wonder on the singles chart, but they were actually the first to record the song that Huey Lewis made popular, "Heart And Soul."

There are certain people who can pull off certain unique styles of clothing. Jimmy Stokely, the lead singer, is one of them. Freddie Mercury, David Bowie are some others. There are many more though. God, we had such incredible music back in the day!! RIP Jimmy.

[@garybradford8332]

Good reaction. It always helped make a song popular when the lyrics were easily understandable and easy to sing along to. Thanks for acknowledging how we had to wait for the radio play to hear it. One of the improvements today is seeing the artist's name. I knew this song but not "Exile". "Free" is another great band with good hits but I only learned their name a decade ago on xm radio.

The Beatles changed music forever and dominated the 60's, showing everyone that bands and artists could create their own music, and in the late 60's and through the 70's is when creativity and talent was at its musical peak, imho. So much of the greatest music of all time was brought to life in those two decades!!

[@Victoriant1]

It was listened to on what’s called an 8 track that most cars had or cassettes which were the more modern format again some cars had and later all cars had. When I was a kid Making mix tapes was an art form and almost a part of courting. You’d give each other homemade mix tapes or you’d create special ones for each event including dates. Then you and friends would be sharing mixed tapes. My sister had a collection of like 800 records all in crates. She'd DJ parties. Having boom box's of all,sizes was how we listened to music we’d take them everywhere and when you went to the beach it was a cocaphony of competing BoomBoxes. People would just carry HUGE ones around the bus, the train. My boyfriend used all his money to buy me my first one and got it with his dad’s discount from working at Sears. I was born in 73 and this song was in 76 but I have the memory of an elephant and know this one was on the 8 track in my dad’s car.
