SO SWEET!| FIRST TIME HEARING Al Wilson - Show And Tell REACTION

[@alkronlage5236]

The 70s. Such variety of unbelievable music!

[@theajones6080]

My mom and dad loved this song. He'd twirl her around the living room, and I'd sit and watch them. Same thing to Al Green, and Barry White. The 70's had great music.

[@dacryptkeeper6836]

No matter your taste in music, the 70's had the best of everything!

[@jbass69goat84]

Absolutely !!!

[@mikewingate284]

One of the advantages of 70's radio was the mix they would play. The same station that played Al Wilson, played The Carpenters and Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Bee Gees.

[@juliewhite7469]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@geoffthomas3238]

And we loved them all people weren’t as pigeonholed in one genre. But maybe because the 70s offered a quantity and quality of choices that hasn’t been seen before or since.

[@analisesantos1571]

BINGO !! That doesn't happen anymore...very sad!

[@bryanCJC2105]

Oh man, there is no better R&B and Soul music than 70s music. The 70s were hard for a lot of people but the music carried us through it.

[@juliewhite7469]

💯%!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@oldiesgeek454]

I may sound like an old Fuddy Duddy, but they just don't write beautiful ballads like this anymore. 😊

[@rennnyyy]

70s had the best music across all genres.

[@platterjockey]

I'd like to see J&A do "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right" by Luther Ingram, "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get" by The Dramatics, "Superbad Pt 1&2" by James Brown, and "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" by Aretha Franklin.

[@juliewhite7469]

@@platterjockey Great suggestions!

In the 1970's you would walk by houses and They would be Jamming! with the doors open!.

Back in the day, this is what we called gettin busy music 😂😂

[@AdrianBarnes-rf8co]

Al Wilson had a very extraordinary voice for classic soul music of the 70s music and how I miss him

[@Jefers1961]

This song is incredibly one the best song ever.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

Amber, you're correct--the 60's and the 70's are considered THEE golden eras of (then called) soul music. And with no auto-tune. Most of the R&B of today just can't hold a candle to the voices and songwriting of old. Plus, there was a wealth of it back then! I'm so happy that reactors like yourselves are discovering this amazing music. Thank you.

[@vickeyadkins1481]

And lyrics that were beautiful and respectful of women.

[@musketeerab8359]

I agree 100%

[@possumslim3420]

@@vickeyadkins1481 “And lyrics that were beautiful and respectful to women.” Yes…I remember that time. That was a time when beauty and self-respect were synonymous. And, Black America had BOTH. In spades. ♠️♠️ My…how things have changed

[@ChuckHackney]

Boy are you sooooooo right!!! What the hell Has happened to soul and R&B???????

[@ChuckHackney]

BTW, this is a magnificent song to listen to while cruising around in your car. Smokin' road song!!!!!!

[@Skeezer66]

Classic 70's Soul!! This is one of those 'singalong in the car' songs!! LOL!!

[@TonyM1961]

Sweet, smooth soul. Talk about "they don't write 'em like that anymore".

[@miguelmercado6686]

I sang this song to my wife on our wedding Couldn't believe so many guests didn't know this song Wish we had that vocal range and crescendo in today's music Real talent, beautiful lyrics, great emotional translation ❤

[@antjaguar9]

I'll be 25 this year i first heard this song at the age of 8 years old during my P.E. class in elementary 💯

[@denisetowe895]

So good! I stand by the statement that we had THE best music of any genre in the 70’s! Love this!

[@nidiavargas-vb3fc]

Agree

[@pinkymuffy100]

I totally agree that Soul music is the music of the Universe!

[@samueltabo3390]

One of my favorite songs from the 70s. I would call this classic soul, I loved the rhythm and Al Wilson blew it out of the park with his smooth and sensual voice. Went to #1 on the billboard hot 100 in early,1974

[@alenewilson-harris9]

TY ❤️💯💪🏽

[@JayMac-kj9kt]

What do you think...if the songs of the 60`s & 70`s that were #1`s were given the airtime now do you think they would be #1 all over again... I think the answer would be most definitely. Peace and brother love to you and all.

[@RonnieElam-e5i]

One of my favorites of the 70s

[@donaldromesburg1902]

And this is why us older people who grew up listening to the music from the 60s and 70s love it so . After listening to the music, i hope you can understand why , i know you can't go back and see how things were but at least you can get a taste of what we listen to . Although times getting shorter , i would not change a thing music wise

[@karenkinsman5643]

I was 12 years old when this was released. The ‘cool’ bus drivers would put on good radio stations, and this was played often. One of my favorites. Incredible soul!! ❤

[@kevingamble8861]

That man could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing. RIP.

[@johnshollenberger2337]

I sing this song at Karaoke.. people are stunned when they see me..singnin this song. I grew up with this music. We were so spoiled.

[@jjcastleberry3662]

I know where I was in 1973! At the school dance and worked up the nerve to ask a girl to dance with me to this song. The string musical instruments blend with his vocals.

[@michaelasay8587]

One of my all time fav's.

[@leemcintyre9490]

I Want to Thank You for this! I Remember this Great Tune from my Childhood! You All Are Taking Me Back! It Sounded SOOOO GREAT Back then. But it Sounds Even BETTER Now! I'm Older, & Can Appreciate this SMOOTH SOUL singer Even More Now! THANKS! Great Reaction! 👍

A MUST HEAR Female Fridays Classic, Gwen McCrae "Rockin' Chair"

[@anotheryou218]

Such a KILLER song!!! Can't hear it without losing it. Has to be one of the greatest records of all time in this genre. God bless Al Wilson forever.

[@go234ko96ts5]

So glad you discovered this hit and it was a biggie in 1973. Al has soul and R&B in his voice. Thanks guys.

[@StevenCarinci]

Great year for music.

Back in the day if you were on the dance floor when the DJ played this tune, you probably fell in love with the girl you were dancing with. R & B at its finest.

[@robincockrell9070]

Another one NOT to miss, late 70's soul. Larry Graham's " One In A Million You". Swoon worthy.

[@loriparks8805]

Not only check out this song by him but also check out the group that he formed before he went solo, Graham Central Station , that group together was off the hook 🤩

Another popular Al Wilson song is 'The Snake.' For another soulful Al, it may be time to get back to Al Green. Would love it if you would react to my favorite, 'Tired of Being Alone.'

[@debrafong8899]

This is one of my favorite R and B songs EVER! At the grocery store about two weeks ago, me and the woman behind me sang along with the radio, waiting to check out!

One time Jay you need to just grab Ambers hand and tell her how much you adore her ( would love to see y’all dance together to a song like this!!) Love this song❤❤❤❤!!

[@kevinsacks3185]

How about the other Al, Al Green. I know you've done a couple of his songs, but you should try "Tired of Being Alone" or "Let's Stay Together"

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This is such a classic tune. I remember the grown folks playing this as a kid!

[@lancers8666]

One of the greatest and most influential R&B voices is Donny Hathaway. He tragically died young, but widely considered THE voice that inspired all others of the time. “For All We Know” and “A Song for You” are all-time classics.

[@gloriacardona6267]

Did Karen Carpenter do covers of those two?

[@janismitchell3122]

Right up there with Let's Stay Together by Al Green, Me And Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul, If You Don't Know Me By Now by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, I'll Be Around by The Spinners, and Wildflower by Skylark. Now THOSE are some really fantastic tracks!!

Al Wilson's other masterpiece is "The Snake"... which is also now a pure American tragedy how it was ironically misused in politics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWbY3uujt57kMk

Omg I love this song ..when the world was better...even tho I had a horrible childhood!

This song was a serious hit back in the 70's and if you want some more soulful hits from that era from artist that you have never reacted to are "Love Won't Let Me Wait" by Major Harris (Soul Train live version) "If Loving You is Wrong" by Luther Ingram (Live version from Wattstax) and since you love smooth falsettos check out "Hey There Lonely Girl" by Eddie Holman (Live version from PBS) and some Teddy Pendergrass "Close the Door" "Turn Off the Lights" or "Is it Still Good To Ya"

This song came up on an XM channel...had to hit it to show my wife how awesome it was. Then I'm thinking, "Jay and Amber HAVE to hear this on, they will melt". Sure enough, both of you have your eyes closed and groovin to Al Wilson and the backup singers. You found another Soul Classic.

[@TZ61]

Back in the day, I would go to my regular haunt back in Allentown, PA, punch this song up on the jukebox, sit down and sing it for all I was worth. Great upload.
