This song's proceeds were all donated to an AIDS charity. We were losing people left and right with no hope in sight to this disease. Then this song comes out and just makes you weep and gives some kind of hope. It was pretty incredible.

Return customers are the best customers, that's why there is no cure. The catholic church was able to cure black plague 200 years ago before anyone even knew what a germ or virus was but it didn't pay as good as someone who spends $200 a month to treat symptoms of their disease.

[@Rowgue51]

The AIDS epidemic was completely overblown. They were scaring people into thinking it was going to explode and start decimating the population, but that was based on the false narrative that it was a disease that would spread easily throughout the entire population. It's a disease that still to this day only affects gay men and drug users sharing needles.

In addition to what everyone else is saying, I think you should know that this song was done as a fundraiser/public awareness campaign for HIV/AIDS (esp. in the Black community). Dionne Warwick spearheaded the effort and, perhaps most amazingly, this was in 1985 when the stigma against advocacy for people with HIV/AIDS was HUGE. Dionne, Stevie, Gladys & Elton all took a substantial risk to their careers when they did this song together; whatever else anyone says about those four incredible artists, they covered themselves in glory with this. P.S. You must, must, must react to Gladys Knight & The Pips - when it comes to vocals she's in the same lofty tier as Aretha Franklin.

Seconding the recommendation to do Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker" which was written for her by the Bee Gees. Also worth nothing that a ton of the hit songs that the Bee Gees wrote for others, they also did recordings of themselves, so I highly recommend checking out their versions. You listened to Celine Dion a while back and she has a song written by them "Immortality" with them providing backup. As for Gladys, she's simply amazing and all of her songs are great, but I highly recommend "Midnight Train to Georgia" which is one of her biggest and I think also counts as a storytelling song. Seriously though, you can't go wrong with Gladys.

Cousin, their mothers were sisters

[@battlegirldeb]

Dionne is Whitney's first cousin . Dionne's mother Lee and Whitney's mother Cissy were sisters. Lee was the oldest daughter in the family and Cissy was the last child born in the family.

[@cptneedham]

Stacey is correct they are first cousins through their mother’s. You can definitely see the family resemblance. I’m sure that’s why Jay thinks she looks familiar. Her and Whitney could pass for sisters despite the age difference (23 years). They Both have very beautiful and striking features.

[@daleb1279]

@@cptneedham So much talent in that family, Cissy and Dionne's mother are also first cousins to opera singer Leontyne Price.

Absolutely love this song. Elton John.. Dionne Warwick. ..Gladys Knight... Stevie Wonder.... you were right Amber. Best song ever. Always makes me cry. Xxxxx

[@randyrock9570]

Elton John / Dionne Warwick / Gladys Knights & Steve Wonder (Thats Whats Friends Are For) Real Talent right there. This song was Number One on the Top Billboard Chats Of 1986.

[@Destyn2B]

Amber I saw Ms. Gladys Knight in concert and I did actually cry when she sang Neither One Of Us. I absolutely love her voice! Midnight Train To Georgia is another popular song of hers.

[@ericacawthorne790]

Oh my Neither one of us is such a beautiful song and she cradles you through it

[@LadybugLuv]

It's really Dionne Warrick ft. Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Elton John. Also this song was HUGE in the 80's! It was everywhere! I think it won a Grammy or something like it!

[@Lokahi-fo-life]

When Gladys’s part hit, I saw you guys get transported to church. Dionne is Whitney’s Aunty, Elton you got right away, Stevie ‘he is a’ Wonder and the woman second to only Aretha in soul and R&B Gladys Knight.

[@mokumboi19]

If you want more Dionne, check out Walk On By and Then Came You, a classic jam she did with the Spinners.

[@buddry538]

Heartbreaker! An absolute banger from dionne

[@allieren]

This song was BIG big when it was out. Like, everywhere-it takes me back to a very specific time in my childhood.

[@YvonneMendez-l9c]

Luv this her beautiful voice ❤

[@angelariebli4843]

As a self-proclaimed audiophile -- SO MUCH RESPECT to you guys for trying, and risking, and being vulnerable with your journey:)))) Keep going!

[@margaretdonohue2387]

What I love is seeing how appreciative you both are of what for you are older songs. For those of us who grew up with these songs, these singers, it was great. Especially during the ‘80’s our performers did a lot of large charity events, Live Aid, Farm Aid, USA for Africa, Band Aid “We Are the World”. We didn’t know it at the time but we were part of a great music history.

[@kentinatl]

THIS ONE IS A JEWEL...

[@veadairavani5692]

I'm not mad at you for not recognizing Gladys Knight, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, or Dionne Warwick. It is wonderful for me to see young people discovering legends, and legendary songs I can listen to this song over and over, plus, Elton John is an honorary Brother!.

[@Scooterboi60]

Elton, a white guy from Pinner, London mixing it with black artists. Phenomenal!

[@skinsdan6831]

Dionne Warwick is the aunt of Witney Houston and Gladys knights best most emotional song was her version of Barbara Streisand's the way we were,amazing

[@charlenealban4318]

You guys are so on track...my favorite people to comment on music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@colibri1]

You were right: That was Gladys Knight, appearing with the others for a superstar performance billed as "Dionne and Friends." Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight have some of the best voices ever, fantastic, unique voices, and Stevie is a fantastic multi-instrumentalist. This was the biggest hit of 1985 in the US and, I just found out, also a cover! It was recorded twice before in previous years as far back as 1978, including once by Rod Stewart, but this was the only one that became a hit.

[@SRG4782]

I learn so much in the comments, I didn't know this was a cover.

[@stanlanier7640]

That was Gladys Knight. "Midnight Train" would be a good one to do a reaction.

[@richardyett3985]

Dionne Warwick sang many of the great pop standards of the sixties with Burt Bacharach & Had David compositions.

[@Kimberrann]

This is on my playlist and I heard it in the car the other day and thought of you guys. Gladys does, Midnight Train to Georgia, If I Were Your Woman, Neither One of Us…..she’s wonderful! I love this song and your reaction 🥰🥰🥰

[@marvingoodman7381]

A great video with a great song. Dionne Warwick was one of those voices that I never get tired of hearing. Great reaction from you guys. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU...

[@WmGood]

That's a lot of high-class talent there!!!!!

[@TheLightSideReactions]

This was one of those powerhouse, iconic songs that inspired the whole world in the '80s. When they sang this song, we all felt the love.

[@rogerkelly7988]

Dionne Warwick is a legend not just a icon
