[@dnaroyaltyC.Taylor]

I really appreciate you all for still making my grandfather relevant in 2022. Not sure if you know that he was the first ever platinum artist in the world. Just FYI. Stay blessed

[@Constance8722]

That's awesome - as is this song. I was just reading about your grandfather, a very versatile talent.

[@capcitymediagroup831]

Your Grandfather is always relevant he has too many classics!!! The philosopher of soul....he needs to be in the Hall of Fame

[@brentsheller]

Still remember my Dad getting home from 2nd shift at the Foundry in the 70's and cranking Disco Lady on the turntable!! Good times!!

[@JBlingBling03]

My parents, especially my mom loves her some Johnnie Taylor!!! I grew up listening to him as a result and loved his songs. They were always so meaningful.You are BLESSED to have that GREAT LEGEND in your genealogy!!!❤

[@TravelHall74]

Your grandfather is the freaking man

[@sonnytavares2006]

Brings me back to my days back in Vietnam when we would all be dancing to this tune in the beer hooch! Good vibes!

[@richardbishop8666]

If they taught Johnny Taylor in school the world would be a better place! He was real life truth and put it all to music! If you never checked out all that stuff from stax records you need to

[@junkyarddog47]

DEC 1968 WHEN I Came from Vietnam, this was the main jam "Who making Love" Old School

[@couchphotography8861]

Having such a laugh watching you two sweethearts finding out how we all expressed ourselves in those days ha ha! Check out Johnny's Disco Lady, Soul Children's Hearsay, anything by Millie Jackson, Benny Latimore's Let's Straighten it Out.....I could go on....

[@ronpaizley9349]

Johnny was that dude my moms favorite / go down the rabbit hole with Johnny check its "cheaper to keep her" & "jody" "take care of homework" & "disco lady" oh strictley house party funk

[@carawak1]

This guy have a lot of swag with that beautiful head of hair! wonder why Black men today like the bald head look?

[@sueprator9314]

Keep tellin ya all that music starting in the later 60s through the 70s got REAL, HONEST, RAW, TRUTH! Both serious stuff and humorous stuff. Forgot how much fun this song is...totally catchy song!!! lOVE U BRINGING IT BACK! Late 60s-70s were wild times!

[@user-bz7fg1pk4lbo7]

Johnny Taylor was badass. I don't think he ever got as much recognition as he deserved. I'm a big Stax Records fan. You guys should check out his hit song "Disco Lady". He recorded at Stax Records in Memphis, and music played by all of those guys in the "Blue Brothers" Band in the movie. Same people and musicians who played and recorded with Otis Redding and Booker T and the MG's. It's classic Southern Soul.

[@willieraye]

Another great song from the greatest era in rock the 60's

[@vincerussell6893]

Crack me up, I knew when you heard the first few bars of this song, you had no idea of what you were about to get into. Your faces reaction was priceless!

[@garykane3502]

Jody got your girl and gone is another great song from JT.

[@caesarstroman8481]

Johnnie Taylor now is king of soul to many black folks!!

[@dagmar.6954]

The American gospel group The Highway Q.C.'s helped launch the careers of several stars, including Lou Rawls, Johnnie Taylor & Sam Cooke in the 50's. Johnnie had a hit with them called "Somewhere To Lay My Head". One of his first solo hits was "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" & later on "I Had A Dream", "I've Got To Love Somebody's Baby", "Who's Making Love", "Jody's Got Your Girl & Gone", "Cheaper To Keep Her", "I Believe in You (You Believe In Me)" & "Disco Lady".

[@Classicjack228]

Dam great list !

[@jeaniemichelle8071]

Do you mean the Soul Stirrers?

[@darhyllacy7795]

An all - time great ! Right outta the box!

[@kimcutts424]

As inappropriate as this seems, it wasn't back then. Plus he has a fabulous voice. 👌

[@marvellaerickson2911]

Johnnie Taylor was 1 of the best in the 70s He made hit after he hit

[@tsonofjohnson489]

love it! Grown Folk Music!

[@judystewart1620]

Yes his first song

[@adriannamurillo8980]

Wow, haven’t heard this since I was a kid and I still know all the words! Love it! Love his song Disco Lady too.

[@morningsidedrive]

I like the performance value of this video. Seamless interaction between rhythm, instruments, physical movement, voice, and message. It is perfection.

[@davidmazon7516]

I had no idea Johnny Taylor sing this song.

[@CPACK1]

Good to dance too.

[@MsElaineLewis]

You need to hear all the other Johnnie Taylor songs, there are lots of them and they're all great! How about, "Ain't No Sense In Goin' Home, Jody's Got Your Gal and Gone!"

[@charlesstraight5499]

Love that line colored suit though.

[@terrisue4059]

You have to listen to his song "Disco Lady" from the great year for musice, 1976!

[@Classicjack228]

How about Back stabbers the Ojays

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Jean Knight "Mr. Big Stuff"

[@shortblockflexinit5219]

This is one of my favorites by him, and I love the video, his swag, his suit, everything. And he ain't lying!

[@psilvers100]

This is my first time hearing this too! Wow! He's got a great voice.

[@noreneal7252]

Mostly all his hits are about infidelity. “Cheaper to keep her” and “Take care of your homework” are two phenomenal songs of his!!!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Rose Royce "I'm Going Down"

[@pilesovinyl]

You're getting into some classics here, this was #5 on Billboard in 1968, and everyone was diggin' it.

[@Eurynomea]

This was my older sister's era of music, so of course, I listened to it also, lol. Such a great time to listen to real music.

[@artdogg50]

Johnny telling it like it is. 😂 Check out "Disco Lady"

[@trumpiekeith8531]

Johnnie Taylor was one of many great artists on Stax Records. Try some others like the Emotions (so I can love you), Inez Foxx (circuits overloaded) Jeanne and the Darlings (it's time to pay for the wrong we done), wendy Rene (Bar-B-Q), etc.

[@QueenHyphenette]

Great find! Check out Tyrone Davis, too!! His "Can I Change My Mind" and "Turn Back the Hands of Time'!!

[@themajicman745]

The Wailor Johnny Taylor

[@1SECRETBILLY]

"Disco Lady" or "starting all over again"

[@dannybeaty3486]

The 70's was a great time for R&B, and thanks for playing this great song! Please do reaction videos for: "A Woman Needs Love" by Ray Parker Jr. "The Clean Up Woman" by Betty Wright "Sideshow" by Blue Magic "Love Overboard" by Gladys Knight and the Pips

[@cheesesteak59]

You guys are a fun watch. The great thing about these old 60s and 70s song is that they could tell real life stories but there's no cursing or threats

[@dwainwilder7337]

This is typical 1970s gown folk music! I am listening to this a year after you posted it. That was the them of the day back then. All good stuff! If you guys get this comment so late after it was posted, you have to play his other hit from that time, “It’s Cheaper To Keep Her”. It a good message to those that fool around!

[@amandawade6148]

Huge hit!!❤

[@mizzcarla7191]

Y'all really need listen to Jody's Got Your Girl by him....another eye opener.

[@liquidationkingla5706]

Johnny Taylor!!! My favorite song of his is, "These last 2 Dollars" I hope you get enough likes to go down the rabbit hole, but I will be listening to it tonight.... LOL

[@tilly9749]

Mine too.

[@davidmazon7516]

Johnnie Taylor got all kinds of songs. You got to go through them all. One of my favorite lines "who's making love to your old lady, while you was out making love"

[@lauratartanella2210]

He told it!

[@heyou702pc]

Love Johnny Taylor ❤ When I was dating my husband he would play "I Found A Love" all the time. It always brought a smile to my face and a great feeling in my heart. Great reaction.

[@richardkawucha1232]

This was recorded during the era when singers still "dressed" for their performances.

[@franktaylor2401]

Probably everyone would have been my answer lol. Great song by a great singer. Thank you S&M. Takes me back.

[@williehodges7798]

Shawn Man you got me howling right now. Your reactions is the best. Love you and Mel. 😂😂😂

[@Nonchalant_248]

Johnny Taylor is a rabbit hole to look into. He made several hits during the 70s. Listen to "Disco Lady" and "I believe in you"

[@beverlysanders4209]

Love your channel it brings back so many childhood memories . I was raised on old country , R and B , and rock . I love all types of music

[@1dkappe]

Some great Memphis male soul and blues singers: Bobby “Blue” Bland, King Curtis, Wilson Picket, Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, James Carr, Johnny Taylor and the OG: O.V. Wright. The tragic James Carr gets too little love. Try “A Man Needs a Woman.”

[@tilly9749]

Bobby Blue Bland is my favorite, love his voice.

[@rs-ye7kw]

Also; Carla Thomas, Eddie Floyd, and Junior Walker.

[@1dkappe]

@@rs-ye7kw I didn’t know Carla Thomas was a dude. 😁

[@rs-ye7kw]

@@1dkappe hah! Good catch. Unfortunately I didn't catch the word "male" in your original comment. Oh well, SHE'S still worth a listen.

[@yvonneluna556]

yes! I loved dancing to this.

[@shawnhenry4100]

You guys as usual are killing It !!!! Thank you so much for bringing the blues. The babies daddy of rock and roll.

[@kevinkeane335]

Wearing his Kermit the Frog green suit, nobody cooler or with more soul than Johnny Taylor! He’s one bad ass dude, DAMN!

Law I love all this music I grew up with in the sixties.

[@stephenulmer3781]

[@richdiddens4059]

I can't remember where the protest was but the protestors were taunting the cops/national guardsmen by singing "Who's makin' love to your old lady while you're out here guarding us?"

[@donnabruhn6907]

Another great dance tune And a super fun song. Yup add the your playlist

[@mitmo03]

Absolutley awesome!!!!

[@rogerdodger6025]

Real life presented in a fun and playful way. Another big hit by Johnny Taylor is "Disco Lady".

[@wfoster-graham6363]

Love Johnnie Taylor, and I've been thoroughly enjoying your reaction videos. I would love to see your reactions to Johnnie Taylor's 1982 hit "What About My Love" and Nancy Wilson's 1961 signature song "Guess Who I Saw Today."

[@bencolquitt7828]

Johnny Taylor OMG man he was good.

[@marinamartinez6886]

You haven't heard Wison Pickett scream yet, check out Engine No. 9 for some heavy Soul. 👍👍👍

[@earledwards6217]

This and down home blues was my dad's favorite songs

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

My Mom was a big fan. Another one that heard many Saturdays as we cleaned was "Cheaper to Keep Her". He had many hits.

[@frankroche2920]

That's how that works. If you ain't keeping that home fire burning, somebody else has got a match!👍 Nothing can shame a man worse than himself and a woman you did wrong.

[@philwashington3365]

Back in MY DAY.......

[@mostmost1]

Its some raunchy blues songs only the ogs and their children remember.

[@jvsmith7888]

love that suit. A real eye opener!

[@jellybathwater]

The Blues Brothers (Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi) covered this track. Its excellent

[@charlesstraight5499]

If you think about it for every person out there cheating there's usually a person of the opposite sex cheating with them and they could be multiple people of the opposite sex so this guy is really giving people some Sage advice if you think you're the only one cheating the end result could be something you don't want like a STD or possibly even worse. This come out back right around the time when AIDS first popped on the scene even though they weren't really certain what it was yet it was there so this guy is pretty wise.

[@viviansmith528]

Shawn and his faces love it .

[@donaldthomas9389]

I love "Straighten up and fly right" you definitely got the gist of that one.

[@adublbeatz8656]

I love y'all!! I enjoy the content ❤❤❤

[@lisaray9944]

Oh his song When she stops asking is a must

[@garyprocopio8540]

You should try "If you want to be happy" by Jimmy Soul. Another classic from the era.

[@JBlingBling03]

LOLOL I remember hearing that one as a kid!! Sooo funny hearing it as an adult later on!!! as a matter of fact, I’m going to look the song up on KZbin right now. Thanks.!!👍🏾

S & M!!!!!! Gotta react to Jody Got Your Girl and Gone, and Cheaper To Keep Her!!!!!! This song take me back to my family reunions, fish fry, and domino/spades games!!!

[@aubreypatterson8309]

If you like this song, you will like Jimmy Soul's "If you wanna be Happy" You two are fun to watch. When I was in Vietnam, Armed Forces radio would only play a n instrumental version of this song, so we would sing the chorus when it came around.

[@joyroberts8266]

He started out singing gospel. Check out his song, “Running Outta Lies.” Which is 1 of my favorites!!!
