The lead singer is named Linda Perry. She wrote Beautiful by Christina Aguilera, Get the Party Started by Pink, and What You Waiting For by Gwen Stefani among many, many others.

[@Palace-of-Madness]

Wow. Talking about ghost writing skills. Safe to say she's living good! Good for her, she deserves it. Way too talented to fall by the wayside.

[@christianman73]

She's written big pop hits, and I can't blame her for going where the money has been for the last ten or fifteen years, but she used to genuinely rock. I liked her songwriting better in those days. 4 Non Blondes was a good band from the days before pop and commercial hip-hop took over with young listeners. I love rock, metal, and some hardcore hip-hop, but pop radio stuff, not so much.

[@roisinireland6833]

Thanks, I always wondered what happened to them..

[@tahoerheanevada2997]

She's Pink's manager, too.

Jamel is by far my favourite of the "reacters". He seems to really appreciate the music and doesn't go way over the top like so many others.

[@NewBluesBros]

I want to dedicate this to my good friend Jay Bird who died suddenly 9 years ago. I knew him since the mid 70's. Besides being my friend he also worked for me. When this song would come on the radio he would sing this at the top of his lungs. Needless to say it drove everyone crazy. When he first past and I would hear this I would have to change the station or start bawling like a baby. Now when I hear this I always make sure I call his sisters and make sure they are doing okay. Just like me this song reminds them of how obnoxiously funny he was when he would sing songs like this. Miss you brother...

[@NZLatic]

This song was an absolute banger. I knew that she went on to write songs for other artists and was also was a producer but I thought it was such a waste that someone with such an amazing voice and talent didn’t release more of her own material.

[@joe6096]

This song came out my sophomore year of high school. Great memories to this tune through high school and college. Thanks for the reaction!!! Today Linda Perry is one of the most renowned songwriters and producers in the music business. She traded being the lead singer of a band for running a recording studio. She’s produced #1 hits for Christina Aguilera, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Katie Perry. She’s still doing it to this day but has long since quit touring in a band.

[@reanimated]

Great songwriter, too! She wrote some good ish for P!nk and surely others, too.

[@dport62]

I'm going to recommend an almost unknown song. Linda Perry helped compose, produce and play several instruments on the song. The first time I heard it was when I was a premastering technician for a CD/DVD facility. The chief sound tester was stationed in the masters vault with me. He played a song and I knew that it wasn't Linda Perry singing, but I also couldn't shake the Linda Perry feel. When I got off work, I had to look uo the song information. Yep, there was Linda Perry's name. It is called "Copper Red" by Sierra Swan. (Daughter of Billie Swan) Linda also cowrote songs and produced Pink's monster hit 2001 album "Missundaztood."

[@BoojumFed]

Now that we're starting that Linda Perry train, can I get a little love for Johnette Napolitano to go with? She's another *_criminally_* underrated 90's voice, especially her stuff with Concrete Blonde (The song "Joey" is their most famous track, but it is nothing like the rest of their [imho, much better] songs from the "Bloodletting" album), Pretty & Twisted, or even her 2000s solo stuff. Both I.R.S. Records and Warner kinda crapped the bed by pushing all of her projects _least_ interesting stuff... I'd start with either "Bloodletting" or "The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden" off of Bloodletting.

[@andyfletcher3561]

For me, she has the most haunting and iconic voice in rock history.

Such a great talent she was, if she hadn't gone off the rails not long after this video, no telling what the bands career would have been. She fortunately came out the other end of the drugs and alcohol. The only good that came from it was all the trials she went through, it made her a great songwriter.

I remember when, at 25, I finally moved out of a small town into the city. I definitely got that little fish in a big sea feeling. I felt small, unsure, but at the same time I felt free -- for the first time in my life, and hungry to make something of myself. I had heard this song before but I don't think that I ever really understood it until then. It was my anthem, always playing somewhere in the back of my head during that first summer. I was renting a room near college and it was also a short walk to a large park overlooking a river. I would go there late at night to smoke grass, humming this tune along the way, thinking about 10 years of wasted time and wasted love, and I would shout over the bluff into the river "What's going on?" There was no answer. Somehow, the silence in the night was better than words.

[@sidhedanu]

The singer is a pretty prolific song writer. I know she's written songs for Pink, to name just one person.

Somehow didn't discover this song until about 10 years ago. Had to listen to it over and over. Still one of my faves; such a great soul release.

The Bass Guitarist Christa Hillhouse was a really close friend of mine in San Francisco in the 90's. I met her RIGHT after they won their big Grammy while she was on her first tour. She wasn't on the road the whole time. She'd play a bunch of shows and then come home for a week or so and then back on the road. She helped to save my life, no exaggeration. Like I might not be alive to type this if she hadn't befriended me when and how she did. They were very very popular in SF's small club scene before they got famous. When they did blow up, Christa was going through some heavy stuff (how I met her) and she went on tour despite having to overcome some insane obstacles. (I'm being vague on purpose) No they never performed at the painted ladies. That's a residential neighborhood with a quiet park. No concerts. However the last house in the row, with the amazing butterfly wrought iron gate, was (is?) Alice Walker's house.

Oh that's a whole new rabbit hole, certainly one of my all time favorite bands.

If I came in with that pounding, you knew there was going to be trouble and either lay me off or fire me, but I was gone. They have a lot of names for what they do musically, but I like "PMS Rock".

Such a coincidence...I was just reminiscing about when I saw Aerosmith in concert while watching your reactions...and 4 Non Blondes opened for them! It was late in 1992. Thanks for the memories 😘

[@greenwheel444]

You need to react to Concrete Blonde. Walking In London and Bloodletting are a couple of really good songs.

[@robertkelly2223]

This song is timeless, one of the greatest vocal performances ever

The official unofficial theme of the greatest Netflix show of them all, Sense8.

[@rachelredhead9217]

[@lisarainbow9703]

[@kimberlydawne]

Yes! Best show ever!

[@chelliespider]

I had to join the Sense8 appreciation thread. Such a great community of fans. Hugs, everyone 🤗🌈 ❤🎶

Joining the love for our show❣️

I was 29 when this came out and it has remained with me all these years. Great song and vocals.

[@afewminuteswithchrispycubi8945]

Before i even press play i love you bro. How in the hell can you read my mind like this. Its like almost everyday you make me happy!!!!!

[@memoore68]

I have been away for a while because I'm fighting cancer so I have a lot of videos to catch up with yours and Leos I just love you guys! This is one of my all-time favorite songs yes I'm so happy!

[@dburgess983]

No matter the mood, this song always seems to make me happy

[@barbaramelville6940]

Me to

[@1TonyNash]

I just love this song! I just love looking at Linda Perry! A mouth that you can row your boat on! And of course, what an amazing voice to go with that music! Cheers Jamel!

This is one of those songs that makes me so nostalgic for my formative years. Another great, mostly female band from then I think you’d appreciate is The Breeders. Cannonball is their main hit that most folks would recognize, but they are definitely worth diving into.

[@felixramos3078]

I don't know what I enjoyed more, the songs that you played in your channel, or your reaction to the songs. You are a very charming person. I really enjoy your reactions to the songs. By the way, you played some great songs too!👍

[@Erinski]

And now it's going to be in every pre-fab music playlist you click on. It's like a bed bug.

[@danielstucky3794]

My dad and I met Linda Perry at Ed Hardy's tattoo shop in SF, back in '93. She was with a friend, and she was super nice. They had finished touring with Aerosmith and she was talking about how that was.. It was fun.

[@safromnc8616]

Try some Indigo Girls...or Melissa Ethridge "somebody bring me some water"

[@33MarciS]

Like the Way I Do is also great by Melissa Ethridge.

[@MrGhonk]

Love your channel brother,thanks for keeping great music alive.

[@Ebolter1]

not only can she sing , she has written many of top pop songs for other famous singers

[@Ebolter1]

Linda Perry, I bought the CD when it came out for my GF , only to take it back because I liked just about every song on there ( I did buy her another one )

[@michaeljimson6918]

I never knew who made this and thankfully you posted it so I can add it to my playlist. Good looking out bro!

[@ronsmith5572]

Singing is Linda Perry check out Linda Perry - Fill Me Up

[@edlane1883]

I’m 59 and I love this song. Her voice is beautiful and haunting at the same time.

[@Z3nHolEminD]

Classic heartfelt song especially with this passing MMXX year

[@amicouvillionwilson1824]

Oh man man man !!!! You found them !!!! Finally ! Love this group !!! Please react to their song "superfly" ! Best of the best grooves ! Promise !

[@bfernuttz3737]

The whole album is wonderful, and every song is unique. Now, how about some URIAH HEEP? Jamel, I am going to keep mentioning them until you either react to them or block me! Lol

[@juliew5466]

Aww, SWEET LORRAINE!

[@sixbladeknife44]

I’d love to hear Jamel react to Rain.

[@RAWest-wo5ki]

Hey Jamel, Great Channel my man! Been watching your videos and you have been turning me onto artists that I normally would not have listened to. Great Job!

[@zaydaenigma7987]

I bet you would like these songs by Melissa Etheridge "Come to My Window" and "I'm The Only One". She is from the same era and I love these songs!

[@yankeegirl5175]

Love both of those!

[@lepoetress]

Come to My Window is my jam!!!

[@pleutron]

Melissa Etheridge... one of the most overrated female singers ever.

[@donnachristian9567]

This song was and is so powerful! I have always loved it and just now I cried as I sang along. ♥️♥️♥️
