OMG THIS MADE ME WANT TO BE SPOOKY WITH MY HUBBY!!!! ATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION - SPOOKY (REACTION)

[@ajruther67]

Atlanta Rhythm Section had one of the most grooviest sounds of the 70's

[@daviddixon6408]

Imaginary Lover is another great song by the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

[@80srocker67]

Ambrosia, 10CC, Atlantic Rhythm Section, Little River Band and others was the best memories for me growing up in the 70s. Great Reaction!

[@brianherrala8857]

Seen them in 1978 at Ferris State..I was 12. I didn't know who I was seeing. Never forget that!!!

[@marielaveau5321]

ARS is a treasure trove. Please keep exploring their music!! 💜💚💛✌️

[@Lab-Rat]

“So into you” is another good one from them.

[@mchristr]

Dude, you completely nailed it on Barry's second guitar solo. He just drills down into your soul and takes you for a ride.

[@michaeldeblasio8201]

"Imaginary Lover" is another good song from ARS I think you'll like.

[@michaelakkerman407]

ARS - So Into You...was one of my favorites by them.

[@patsaylor8973]

I have always loved this song! Spooky!

[@neilforehand1121]

This is the music we listen too back in the 70’s. Damn we were really lucky to grow up with all these classics and I get such a rush watching all the reactions to our music!

[@julietate7806]

I was so damn lucky I'm from Macon, GA. I saw the best of the best... Allman Bros., Wet Willie, Atlanta Rhythm Session, Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffett, the Doobie Bros., Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton....

[@1dognight166]

One of their best hits . Guitar solo is 🔥

[@kathyembley455]

Another great song with this tone is “Season of The Witch” by Donovan

[@GrandmaZeppelin]

One of my favorite singers! A Donovan rabbit hole would be great! Hurdy Gurdy Man is fantastic. ☮💜

[@eddieevans6692]

Have to agree with Donovan, Season of the Witch or Hurdy Gurdy Man!!!!

[@suzie4417]

Love, love, love Donovan ! I’ve loved him since I was a teen 💜☮️🎶😻

[@susanfigueroa872]

This is a cover for this song made in 1968 I believe by the Classics IV. Great song and ARS does a great job!

[@lloydanderson1486]

ARS started out as Classics IV

[@patrickbuckley344]

I love the original, and the remake by ARS- which I grew up on! Interesting note- the Classics IV, started in Jacksonville, Florida, and moved to Atlanta, Georgia- because of management- and most of the members, became a part of ARS☺

[@susanfigueroa872]

@@lloydanderson1486 Didn't know that! Thanks for the info!!

[@lilpoohbear653]

love both versions...both great

[@modawg1111]

We always play this @ our Halloween party every year ! Along with Witchy Women & Monster Mash ! It’s tradition already. 😏🎃👍🤙

[@jss1004]

It's a work of art!

[@michaeltipton5500]

This was a grooving song back in the day. I know cause I was there.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

I WAS THERE!!!! This was Champagne Jam '79 in Atlanta at Grant Field {Georgia Tech stadium}, the Cars & Aerosmith were there as well & a couple of other bands! ARS is one of my favorite hometown bands along with The Allman Bros, Black Crowes, Jackyl, Drivin n Cryin, B52s, Georgia Satellites, Blackberry Smoke & REM! PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮

[@kenperk9854]

FINALLY ARS IS RECOGNIZED!! Only 2 of the guys are still with us. The great guitarist Barry Baily and Keyboard wiz, dean Daugherty! At least half of the Atlanta Rhythm Section was from Alabama. For a small state, Alabama has put out a ton of great music of all genres over the decades! I think a R&B musician came out with this first but ARS revved it up.

[@vancelubben5300]

I can see you guys getting hopelessly addicted to the oldies. It's a thing of beauty!!!! ❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Quite a few artists have recorded this song "Spooky". It started out as just an instrumental song in 1967 & lyrics were added later. Atlantic Rhythm Section do a good version of the song in 1979 but the most famous & best version was done by the Classics IV in 1968.

[@Mark-iv7np]

Agree with many commented here the best version is by the Classics 4, in 68. Dennis Yost voice is soulful, great vibe 😀

[@lennyd8337]

I'm familiar with this version and David Sandorn.

[@scottchapin2323]

I'd have to agree

[@scottchapin2323]

I just found out that two members (original) were from The Classic IV

[@kenperk9854]

unless you like ROCK MUSSIC WHICH IS WHAT PROPELLED THE SONG TO GREATNESS IN THE 70S!

[@ajruther67]

Mel, don't be sorry for how you feel. Music is made for you to feel something, to move you. Enjoy it. Don't ever be sorry for how you feel. It's part of who you are and you shouldn't apologize for who you are.

[@ajruther67]

My favorite song by Atlanta Rhythm Section! So glad you are donig this song! ♥ ♥ ♥

[@DDCCO61]

Blue-eyed soul at it's best.

[@lilpoohbear653]

this tune simmers and sizzles...love it for many years:))) Thanks for reacting to such great music

[@nancysmith38]

Love love love!! Please go to Classics IV now and hear Stormy. Their version of Spooky (the original) is great. I think some of the guys in Classics IV went on to be in Atlanta Rhythm Section -the same guy sings both.

[@kenperk9854]

tHE BEST SINGER OF THE SONG BY FAR WAS THE LATE GREAT RONNIE HAMOND. HE HAD THE GIRLS THROWING THIER PANTIES ON THE STAGE!

[@James-o6g5b]

Buddy building of Ars was from my home town.

[@yourebusted5786]

Thanks for doing this. ARS not getting much love lately, but I knew eventually someone would get to them. BTW.... members were formerly the Classics IV. Barry, king of the guitar squall.

[@kenperk9854]

neither did the legendary Buddy Buie and all the other Alabama boys in the band. With the exception of Dean Daughtery, and Barry Baily, they are all gone now.

[@t.r.1708]

Thx! We need more of Classics IV!

[@vickialbers8026]

MEL YOU DO YOU, I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS I HAVE SHARED YOUR REACTIONS TO MANY ¹PEOPLE. YOU have made me smile and feel your air drums over and over 😃.Both of you love music and it shows we want too enjoy your sometime shock and amazed responses. You are my favorite reactors. GBY❣

A great reaction to a very integrated song in it's day. Well done, 🍻 cheers

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Original Southern Rock Band.

[@lindaaumiller7592]

the eagles - witchy woman and one of these nights

[@harrisonspencer46]

I just subscribed because you played my favorite. "Imaginary Lover" is just as good.

[@Noelle0026]

Check out the original by the Classics IV. Dennis Yost’s vocal on that one is really great. Love ARS version too though

[@cathleensmith4717]

Yes Classics four!!!!

[@gezrod]

@@cathleensmith4717 The OG!

[@kenperk9854]

You should hear ARS on a fitting song called Cocain Charlie! Helluva song out of Atlanta!

[@mchristr]

I remember well the original version. But the Classics IV didn't have Barry Bailey on guitar and that makes all the difference.

[@bobr4987]

Two members of ARS were also in the Classics 4 group.

[@rpminc1974]

Great cover the guitar player just crushed it 👍

[@dennisflury6942]

The original was Dennis Yost and the Classics four...they are all love songs and u need to go down that rabbit hole, start with Traces of Loves!

[@lloydanderson1486]

Many great songs by this group.

[@violetflame23]

Thanks Shawn and Mel for recognizing Barry Bailey's skills on guitar. He's never mentioned among the greats, but he rocks - great tone, phrasing, and passion. Like Shawn said, he makes the guitar sing.

[@koden24]

I mean very underrated, yeah His tone is sick!

[@conniekat3424]

I've been trying so hard to turn reactors on to this awesome band...they are SO underrated! I've been listening to them since I was a teen...one of my all time favs! RIP sweet Ronnie (Hammond)!

[@rogersmart1766]

They certainly served our music of my city of Atlanta !

[@donstuard2546]

This a great cover. One of my favorite ARS songs. They used to sponsor a music festival in Atlanta every summer. Great guitar solo. Check out 'Doraville', 'Champagne Jam' and 'Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight'. They eete a great smooth southern rock band. Always loved their music.

[@kenperk9854]

I'LL TAKE ,Cocain CHARLIE, Back against the wall, Dog Days, it's only music, large time and i aint much over along with what loyd listed.

[@mikewood6071]

These guys were awesome. They were bluesy, funky, and smooth, during the time when disco was at it’s peak These guys were just cool

[@glennburch1081]

Great cover of the Classics IV hit. Love the solos. this song has so much free-flowing rhythm in it that it makes you sad when the run on the different solos stop. Great vocal, guitar and keys and a reaction that was over the top!

[@jerrywallace9656]

They were one of the best live bands. It's almost like people have forgotten about them.

[@billshelly5332]

A.R.S. was another one of those criminally underrated bands ; think of Little Feat, James Gang, Free, J. Geils Band, the list goes on. This was almost a cover of their own song as the group Classics IV from about 1967. There were, I believe, a couple members from Classics IV who went on to form Atlanta Rhythm Section. Great stuff.

[@donaldleider7382]

Classics lV, blows this cover away!

[@lloydanderson1486]

Doraville, Georgia Rhythm, Champagne Jam, Silver Eagle, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight, The Ballad of Lois Malone, Evileen, Imaginary Lover, Jukin', Dog Days, All night Rain, Angel, Crazy, Free Spirit, Large Time are all great songs

[@MobilDJ50]

and my favorite Another Man's Woman

[@thomaswild9044]

What I like about these two is that they're not afraid to explore and their pretty cool.

[@TK-ln8ky]

Spooky Classics IV

[@nashtndawg]

Barry Bailey is one of my favorite guitar players EVER! He has a way of making those notes just squall!!!

[@Widkey]

This version of the song is great, and so is the original.. both are great!

[@danbaldwin9511]

Just can't beat the 70's music!

[@katiebarbeau7563]

This is one of my all time faves

[@ajruther67]

Mysterious is the exact word I would use to descirbe Spooky in this song

I Loved SPOOKY @ 4000 RPM ..Red LINE from the SKY..

[@byronmitchell3784]

ATLANTIC RYTHM SECTION, "SPOOKY" THIS IS A GROOVY TUNE. I FIRST HEARD THIS DONE BY THE CLASSIC IV. IT ALWAYS REMINDED ME OF THE ZOMBIES MUSIC..

[@karengoodenough827]

Try Not gonna let it bother me tonight, Imaginary Love and Champagne Jam, this was a great band!

[@uberduberdave]

Spooky was released October 1967 by the Classic IV, ARS did a cover to showcase their guitar talent...

[@danbates6285]

I couldn't agree more the original version with the sax was killer, very smooth

[@JOSEMunoz-tc5rq]

You need to listen to do it or die by Atlantic Rhythm Section it was one of my favorite song When I was a teenager back in 1978 or 79 I hope Miss Mel will listen to the song

[@bernie66]

Great oldie. I remember this so well. I' very listened to music since I was small. Music is what makes my day.
