[@ChrisBledsoe-p4l]

Billy is my great uncle. Awesome guy. Still making music!

[@channelsixtyseven067]

_Awesome guy_ - I bet he is, it comes out in his music.

[@michellewilcox5882]

They need to play more of this on the radio right here in 2024!!!....maybe it would turn the world around!!....what a wholesome song!!

[@timmistorey5989]

My step father raised me. He was the dad a girl could want. He uses to sing this to my mum. *If your child needs a daddy I can help " 😘

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

SNAP! He's been my dad for 47 years.

[@timmistorey5989]

Dawn Sutton 48 yrs. No longer with us. But he's everywhere in my Life x

[@janathananmuller4747]

I born in 1980 but I love this song so nice ❤that come 's from the Heart 🎉

[@mrb4749]

Nice song, good singer. I dug it back then still do. Unfortunately this song and many others have become forgotten. Thanks for keeping good music alive!!

[@lilpoohbear653]

yes...this is a great tune

[@jethro1963]

It wasn't forgotten at my work as of a few years ago, it became a hilarious parody and a theme at our warehouse. Everyone would go around saying "I got two strong arms, I can help" :) I went back and listened to the song a couple of years ago (after not hearing it for probably 30 years and I was splitting a gut laughing. It has a false ending, that just keeps repeating itself, it's like when someone says "One more time" and keeps doing it. :)

[@chriscraft1334]

To be honest with you Elvis Presley did his version of I Can Help. It's on the 1975 Album Today.

[@luislaplume8261]

Can you imagine any song like that now? I can't! 😮😊

[@banksperdue1983]

my dad listened to this song all of the time

[@tsonofjohnson489]

I DARE them to play this song for a week on fm radio main stream! I salute my dad (step) and mom's out their making it happen. ML and TY

[@niccoarcadia4179]

And a big "Thank You" to The Midnight Special for maintaining these taped musical legend moments in time..

[@AntonioSanchez-td6bk]

"I Can Help" is a song written and performed by Billy Swan (1974), No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Singles . Saludos

[@missrachelreads]

I forgot about this song and didn't remember the line "if your child needs a daddy I can help" SO sweet! Thank you for sharing this and glad you are back - all the best for you both and your family

[@bencolquitt7828]

Shawn and Mel nice to see y'all awesome reaction guys great song too. Shawn I raised my wife daughter from age 5 now my baby girl is 39 and will be 40 in august. I loved Amanda as my on daughter from the first time I saw her. All love S&M.

[@theresamendoza9143]

I grew up listening to this song. Definitely one of the great.

[@debraswayngim8905]

My son in law said that to my grandson, and to this day he loves that boy who is biracial, and he would have walked thru fire for my granddaughter also... not many of those left....donnie you are still the man.

[@joy88867]

It’s every single mom’s dream 😊

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Much respect for Shawn.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

This song was huge back in 1974 👍 The both of you seem so genuine, the world is a better place with you two in it 😉

[@danielkesselring9172]

Another 70’s great memory tune!..👌🏻

[@galemoore521]

That's what a real man sings about

[@planetswan]

Thank you for this awesome video! My sister sent this to me and I just wanted to tell you that I am one of Billy Swan‘s daughters and Billy is currently in the hospital with a broken back and Covid. He’s 80 years old and still the sweetest most humble person we could ever meet. He’s still the guy who wrote that uplifting song, to this day so kind and positive….and has been the most incredible father two girls could ever ask for. I’m gonna show him this video tomorrow at the hospital and I guarantee you that this is going to lift his spirits so high! Thank you for posting this. You guys are angels.

[@extracaliber432]

Shawn's the man.

[@patsaylor8973]

Two in a row of fantastic music from the 70s!

[@rusynlig1]

💖💖💖

[@jmcquown]

Thank you for this reaction. I heard this song on the radio on my way to work this morning. I remembered it but had to look it up to see if maybe you had heard of it! :) it's sort of known as a One Hit Wonder but an excellent song that won awards! Sometimes *one* is all it takes to become a legend with a hit! :)

[@happymethehappyone8300]

This Classic Will Hit You Different,, Desmond Dekker & The Aces "Israelites"..A MUST HEAR!!

Beautiful testimony Mel. You put the icing on the cake of that song. 🥹

[@scotthurley208]

I was 4 years old when I heard this song come on the radio. It’s the first song I remember falling in love with and singing along to.

There are songs that you hear as a kid that you just forget about, but as soon as I saw the artist's name and the song title it came right back to me. Thanks for bringing this back to me.

[@debraswayngim8905]

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

You 2 are so sweet. I too have a stepdad, 47 years. He saved us. In every way you can be saved. I wish I could have met a man like him but apparently they only made the one and broke the mould.

[@somecajunguy]

My favorite thing about this channel is that when you guys look at each other you can see the DEEP TRUE LOVE in your faces; and it makes me feel good.

[@karowak1]

I drank a lot of beer with this man. Great dude.

[@andreadeamon6419]

The only women (girls) that are screaming i can do it i can do it - are ones that never felt the true love from a man in the first place

[@andreadeamon6419]

You're amazing Shawn to very special ladies. Good night and sweet dreams. Mel - I'm so sorry sweetie. Sounds horrible of what you went through. Sending lots of hugs dear

[@the-med-shed4203]

A great song. I remember hearing it a lot on the radio growing up

[@davidlyons3678]

Wow haven't heard this in years.

[@VelveteenRabbitinRedFern]

I love this song. Got it on a cd and get to play it anytime!

[@BartholomewSmutz]

Billy Swan is originally from a small town called Cape Girardeau, Missouri which isn't far from where I live in Southern Illinois.

[@franksullivan1873]

Y’all must have found a place.I am happy you two did.We missed y’all.

[@sarahsnow8746]

I want to go to iTunes and download all the songs I’ve watch you guys do tonight that I don’t have yet.

[@darlenefragale6550]

We used to call this happy music!

[@BethReed62]

What a catchy song!

[@dougewing1571]

I remember that song, I was 14 when it came out

[@davidosborne6328]

You're a good man Shawn.

[@allanzilth3633]

😃🤣😄😂no wonder he's kicking back ,if your child needs a Dad I can help 😃🤣😄😂 thanks , you're good people 😊😎

[@suedyment511]

I love this song ♥️ thank you for playing this

[@yvonnepeters1914]

I love this song, even to this day. The radio version was better than this live one though. I like Elvis' version too! 😊 So you resonate with "if your child needs a Daddy, I can help" huh? That's sweet! 🙏

[@vickicederquist250]

Awesome right? Always loved this song!!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Kiki Dee Band "I've Got The Music In Me" ...Nuff Said.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

this song was used in a commercial back in the 80's or 90's, i forget what it was for but i'm thinking maybe a phone company commercial? some kind of service business, which is why they used the "i can help" line prominently in the commercials

[@davidcollver6155]

That's cool a song for Sean.

[@davidcollver6155]

Yeah I remember what school I was going to when this song came out. 1974 Hagerstown Maryland. Not the best people but it was alright talking about school and living conditions. Total waste of money. Good songs good music is Like a Prayer it'll get you through the worst of it. I hope you and your friends enjoy this song though this is a good one it's fun.

[@davidcollver6155]

Wait Sean is your Billy Swan ? Lucky ladies . I'm really glad and happy it worked out for the three of you . That's the first time I've noticed it listening to it all these decades , if your child needs a daddy I can help? That's who I came across once or twice I wasn't looking for a one night stand, okay at first but,,,,,,,,

[@cbdex77]

I don’t know any other Billy Swan songs but he is mentioned in The Pilgrim, Chapter 33 by Kris Kristopherson - a great song.

[@seanc6481]

Hi Shawn and Mel,thanks for another great video,the mid 70's(and early 80's)are my favorite times for music,glad to have lived through both.A few songs you might consider John Paul Young-love is in the air John Miles music(was my first love) Andrew Gold-never let her slip away 10cc-im Mandy,fly me Keep up the good work 😊

[@timr5490]

Welcome back

[@Joe-ym6bw]

Good song

[@tanyaprout4696]

Still loving you two. Its that American twang just makes me melt lol. Regards from Tanya in England uk. Ps. I hoping you might still have a look at a one hit wonder. Song name. Sideshow. A reggae based sad song. Barry Biggs made it a huge hit here in the uk 🇬🇧

[@kimcutts6153]

Was My favourite song when it came out. Still know it word for word. 🎙📽

[@angelado3]

❤️❤️❤️

[@timcarr6401]

I have a 1973 vinyl album by him from 1976 although it doesn't feature this song. Elvis Presley did a fantastic cover of "I Can Help."

[@swartetc]

It's a Swan song

[@rickyconner6782]

Too bad people don't think this way nowadays.

[@kimberlyreed3539]

I love your channel ❤️ Out of all the reactors on KZbin, you two are my absolute favorite. I can tell you love each very much. I have a great suggestion for a song and know that Shawn will love singing this beautiful song to you, Mel. It's called, "This Guys In Love With You." By Herb Albert. Please do a reaction. Thank you both for always making me smile. 🥰🥰

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

When this song first came on the radio…I thought it was Ringo Starr

[@bigb6046]

You guys should check out Lou Christie "Lightning Strikes" , It is king of the missing link between 60's pop and 70' punk I promise you will love it.

[@hoovgroov1571]

Check out the Buckinghams (hey baby they're playing our song)

[@lindanicholson950]

Another cute song is Little Arrows by Leapy Lee.

[@daveholyoak7472]

Billy was a Kristofferson band member

[@CHICHI-hi2pn]

Elvis also recorded this song in 1975.

[@latoyaanderson1775]

Hello brother n sis law

[@agallimoreagallimore2126]

Elvis has a good version too. My mom played the record it was on often. Don’t know if he ever released it as a single

[@the-med-shed4203]

"Blondes Have More Fun" by Rod Stewart. Check it out

[@djjtheguyjeffrey9098]

Just letting y'all guys know Elvis sings this song to look it up and react to that

[@grahamjohnbarr]

It wasn't finished.

[@p.j.d.8199]

Love this one by Reba McEntire which stars her kids from the tv show. For those who are parents you never want this to happen but sometimes you have no choice. This came out when I was in the middle of a divorce after 24 yrs of marriage (kids were 11 and 17), youngest was Daddy's girl but after that she grew away from her dad even though I tried to make excuses for him & told her "Dad really loves you, and misses you". kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnmvfqCrjpqNnZI

[@p.j.d.8199]

From Afghanistan , a year later when home he left me a later that said, " I just never felt something" and ended it with, "I love you as a friend, but not as a husband loves a wife" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmpXpx6fZmHicU

[@Ntass1]

Elvis does a good version.

[@djjtheguyjeffrey9098]

I didn't think anybody in these comments knew that so why commented the same thing LOL

[@barbaramaxwell908]

Love this song
