FIRST TIME HEARING Barry White - You're The First, The Last, My Everything REACTION

[@loritajohnson5664]

Don't forget, Barry White was also a maestro/conductor of his own orchestra, The Love Unlimited Orchestra. They had a #1 hit in early 70s 'Love's Theme'. Great instrumental!

[@bertc2314]

Lorita, I have Love Unlimited's album, "Under The Influence of... 'Love's Theme (Instrumental) is the first track on Side One. Thanks for the reminder, listening to this is on my "TO DO LIST" this coming week.

[@karensamuel1139]

Yes yes! I would say 'Love Theme' is the greatest instrumental 😊

[@cindysimpson1046]

Oh guys, you really need some Love's Theme. Instrumental but so beautiful. I don't know why but I get teary-eyed sometimes with this song.

[@karensamuel1139]

It makes me emotional too

[@bigb2494]

Yes, a 40 piece orchestra. He doesn't get enough credit for his musical genius

[@lauranathan1618]

Every club... THIS continues to pack a dance floor even 40 plus years later.. Barry White brought magic to generations of dancers....

I witnessed this myself, three weeks ago at a family get together. I was the first one up.

Hi there you lovely people it's John here from East London in England you're right the Barry White was the walrus of love he was a great man a great singer I remember when they done the interview with him and said do you know your songs have helped create children and he's reply was that's lovely to hear

[@stephaniejones4749]

Barry White was the man. You always knew when he was singing he had that distinctive baritone voice when he sang and when he talks there'll never be another!

[@karensamuel1139]

Very true!

[@kd8199]

More specifically he was a bass-baritone.

[@stephaniejones4749]

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

He was a deep bass actually.

Can I just say....I'm a 40 year old white truck driver and there is something just so comforting about seeing u 2 react to some great music. Doesn't matter if it's r&b, rock n roll, rap, oldies, whatever it is....seeing 2 people appreciate an array of music and styles and coming off so sweet and well brought up is just what this whole country needs! The togetherness, the love, the pureness and wholesomeness. I just really wanna thank u both.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

One glaring oversight - as good as Barry White’s songs are, I never hear you mention the phenomenal orchestration behind him. Those are not studio musicians. That’s Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra that he recorded with and toured with. During the years when Barry White was enjoying his greatest chart success, his Love Unlimited Orchestra had an instrumental hit of their own. It was so big, that for decades, it continued being used as bumper music that TV networks would play to go from sporting events to commercial breaks. You’ve probably heard it a million times and just didn’t know what it was. But check it out. It’s called, “Love’s Theme” and it’s by the Love Unlimited Orchestra. While Barry White’s voice won’t be heard anywhere on it, you will feel his presence throughout the entire song. It would make an exceptional reaction video. By the way, there’s also a phenomenal version of this song (First, Last, Everything) on KZbin that’s a duet with Barry White and Luciano Pavarotti. Highly recommended.

[@The_Dudester]

In the early 1970's, when Angel Fire New Mexico started being a big thing, Love’s Theme was used as background music while skiing and home ownership was being talked about in TV commercials. I cant hear the song without visualizing a skier, heading downslope, a rooster tail spray of snow behind them.

[@markharris1125]

Though they're enthusiastic, very likeable and hugely watchable, they're remarkably incurious about what they listen to. I wonder if they would actually 'get' Love's Theme.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

@@markharris1125 -- I completely agree with you. But Jay and Amber are not unique among reaction channel people when it comes to a lack of curiosity. I think the reason might be that they're just so ignorant about the music and the eras that the music comes from that they don't know what questions to ask. The same could be said of you or me if the subject were something else about which we knew very little. What I don't understand about Jay and Amber is how totally unresponsive they are. I've posted hundreds of comments and sent dozens of emails to them, and never once have I received even so little as an emoji sent in response. I, too, am a KZbin content creator and influencer, and one of the first things you learn in doing that sort of work is to engage with your viewers. They don't, and I must admit, I do find that off-putting. But I cut them some slack for their lack of curiosity about music. They're young and likely just don't know enough about the times we lived through in growing up with this music to even have a clue as to what they don't know. But they've learned a lot more about the music and the artists than most reaction channel people I've seen. And like you said, at least they're likable and watchable.

[@markharris1125]

@@ProdigyBowlersTour Just had a look at your channel - I should have guessed the content from your name! Not my scene, I'm afraid. But you have many many more subscribers than me, so best of luck for future success. Yes, I kind of gave up making any comments. Sometimes someone I recommended two years ago will come up, but it's just coincidence I'm sure. There are ways they could learn more. Fine, don't research before listening if you think it will spoil the reaction, but research afterwards. What chart position did this song get to in the US, the UK, round the world? Who wrote it? Who produced it, played on it? By doing this, even from a position of ignorance, I think I would learn the questions to ask. I think I would start to see the bigger picture. I don't know if you've watched SalvoG, but all this music is new to him as well, and he does all the research before, after and sometimes during the songs. It's what I would do. But as you say, Jay and Amber are so damn cute. If they never give you an emoji, I shall: 🎳

[@bonepicker1]

​@@ProdigyBowlersTourEarlier, they responded fairly often, but I suspect the haters turned them off. Plus, the size of their subscribers and content got larger, and it is time consuming to try and respond. They are raising 3 children too which occupies their time. Most of the large content creators I subscribe to don't respond often anymore either. Doesn't bother me though.

[@SACollins]

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a record store meet and greet and he was the kindest, gentlest and smoothest man I ever met. That man kept it a buck-fitty his whole life!

My FAVORITE Barry White song!! I will ALWAYS think of John Cage dancing on Ally McBeal when I hear this song.... Great memory!!

[@Joy-qw3wm]

Great minds!I LOVED that show and its characters:)

[@dianpitts5063]

My grand daughter and her siblings danced a routine to this for her husband at her wedding reception. Makes me smile to hear it.

[@thomasmullins5418]

When you would walk into a disco and this song was playing you would dance your way to the dance floor and get lost in the.music what a fun.era!!!

[@JDdiGriz]

David Letterman once asked Barry White "Whose music do you listen to when you're trying to set a romantic mood?", and Barry just looked at Dave and said "Dave, with my voice, I don't need music."

ALRIGHT 🎉🎉🎉 the best of the best by the best BARRY WHITE❤❤❤❤

[@JorgeWalker-d4n]

I also think of Chris Tucker’s first movie in the starring role “Money Talks” he started the movie off singing this song while drive. Then he quotes the lyrics in the movie to prevent from getting killed

[@brendahhstiles9992]

Yes! 100% lol.

[@MrSteveLoucks]

YES! YES! YES! Thank you Jay and Amber for finally reacting to the amazing Barry White’s most romantic tune. I even played it at my wedding. Next up, please take in his last top 10 hit It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me. It’s super funky fantastic.

Fantastic choice... AMAZING SONG! My favorite Barry White tune ❤️

[@melaniebrown4660]

Such an uplifting groove! And that voice of Barry’s is like no other

[@kevinsacks3185]

Believe it or not, this song started out as a country song, written in the 50's! The writer, Peter Radcliffe, was a friend of Barry's and brought to him, telling him, "maybe you can do something with it". He made it a disco anthem.

[@freethinker1913]

Pretty easy to believe, really. You’d be shocked how many times country and R&B artists have covered each others’ songs. Kenny Rogers biggest hit, Lady, was written by Lionel Richie after his Commodores band mates rejected it. Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You was a cover of a Dolly Parton hit (ironically both performed the song for movie soundtracks, Dolly for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Whitney for The Bodyguard). The fact is both styles rely on the emotion of everyday life and don’t like to get too complicated lyrically, so the songs of one genre can easily be arranged into the style of the other.

Peter Radcliffe, A friend of Barry's, originally wrote the track as a country song with the title "You're My First, You're My Last, My In-Between", which went unrecorded for 21 years. White recorded it as a disco song, retaining most of the musical structure while rewriting the lyrics.. When he played back the finished demo, Peter actually cried tears of happiness.

I was waiting for you guys to react to this one... This is my favorite Barry White song... I was in the military from 1973-1976 and I was stationed at Camp Geiger , N.C.... Jacksonville was 4 miles away and it was a much different town then than it is now... When we played the jukebox in a bar, you better be playing Barry White in there somewhere... You couldn't go in a place without hearing a Barry White song... I started working at a hospital in 1993 and a gentleman that worked there as a registered nurse would take 6 months off during the year And travel with Barry White as his private nurse... I thought they were so cool... I asked him to get me a autographed picture of him and he said he would, but unfortunately Barry White passed away ...He had high blood pressure problems... I was saddened to hear of his passing... I just thought back to those days when I was in the military and how much his songs meant to us all... Thank you for doing this reaction... It brought back some wonderful memories...Keep Being Awesome !!!
