The musicians referenced are (Count) Basie, (Glenn) Miller, Satchmo (Louis Armstrong), Duke (Ellington), and Ella (Fitzgerald). Powerhouses of the Big Band era.

[@MrRezRising]

That is a hell of a list of names.

[@stlmopoet]

I missed Miller

[@michaelnewell6385]

Great music.

[@stephentaylor6617]

“Swing the Mood” by Jive Bunny and the Master Mixers is a medley of early rock and roll classics featuring Glenn Millers “In the Mood”

[@nursetom61]

@@stephentaylor6617 I have never heard that song. Being that I am a huge Glen Miller fan. I need to give it a listen. Thanks for posting

[@firstname4337]

it never fails -- in every video it is guaranteed that Lex will recognize the chorus and start singing along and Brad will look at her like she's crazy

[@angier5775]

I love it when that happens! 😆

[@williamburke1882]

Well Brad knows her best.😁

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

so true :)

Brad is starting to get used to the craziness

[@richardyoung6214]

Such a sweetheart ❤️

[@surlechapeau]

Brad&Lex, you'll love his"Don't You Worry About A Thing", "My Cherie Amour", "Living For The City" and about 30 more!! He is the GOAT's GOAT. If you do "Living For The City" it must be the full album version, never live. Very important part is omitted live.

[@UMfan21]

I've always had a soft spot for "I was made to love her". I guess it still has that old Motown feel before he matured.

[@johnobrien1528]

[@josepha5885]

@@mkmstillstackin Yes definitely.

[@michaelduran8627]

From 1972-76 Stevie was in a fucking zone that most musicians can only dream of. Everything he produced was gold. An incredible output of greatness in such a short time.

[@SabrinaBelgrave]

Brad is the only person who cannot feel it all over

[@mattslev]

LMAO

[@jenniferjacobs228]

This is truly Lex's song...you can feel it all over...

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

Lex had a good upbringing, she knows all the songs, props to Lex's parents.

[@raynscloud8072]

This one of the most relentlessly positive songs I know. Love it!

[@perfessermarshton5209]

Higher Ground and Living for the City are my favorites. He was truly a musical genius; I’m not sure but I think, taking into account different genres, knowledgeable critics would class him with Bach or Beethoven.

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Higher Ground is one of those rare tunes with enough joy and hope to move me to tears. I love it to bits. I don't know why it's not played more. Oh and I've just remembered the RHCP cover is an absolute beast!

[@vestanpance6586]

I love Stevie Wonder like an annoying wasp loves picnics, and I'd class Innervisions as the pinnacle. Dare I even suggest it, Songs In The Key Of Life has some filler on it. Innervisions is a perfect album. Sublime!

[@williamweiss6128]

One of the best bass lines ever recorded. Plus, as usual, Stevie has perfect pitch. 🥰

[@normbittner3762]

This is one of a handful of songs that take me right back the public swimming pool when I was a kid in the late 70's early 80's! So fun- love it.

[@christophersessions3375]

YES! Exactly! And that bass player is ridiculous! Nathan Watts...so great.

[@RadioReactiveOne]

This song hit number one on the charts in 1977. It was during this period that Stevie Wonder was sweeping just about every Grammy Award for which he was nominated, year after year after year after year. Finally, after he'd won seemingly every Grammy Award there was to win for like four or five years in a row, he finally didn't release an album one year, and whoever it was that won the award got up at the podium to accept their award for Best Album and said, "I want to thank Stevie Wonder for not releasing an album this year." It was hilarious. He was about as hot as an artist can get in the music business for about five years in the '70s.

[@stephenhanson3647]

Paul Simon

[@jolenewitzel7919]

I remember seeing him when he was around 11 singing and playing his harmonica ❤

[@cattuslavandula]

I was 12 when this song came out in 1977. I can vividly remember listening to CKLW-Am Detroit/Windsor on my little 7UP can transistor radio in my grandmother's back yard. It was summer, she, my 7 year old sister and I were picking plums off the tree near the back fence while her white German shepherd dog ran around us. Those were great days. It's so cool that a song can take us back in time so easily.

[@stevedotwood]

Great album. "Songs In The Key Of Life" (He's singing about Duke Ellington) The instrumental part is amazing - that old style jazz.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

Song's in the Key of Life is a must to listen to. Stevie Wonder is a true musical magician. He can make you take a trip without leaving the house.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

This is the one song that will absolutely, positively put a smile on my face EVERY single time I hear it no matter what is going on! It takes me to my happy place. 😊 Those horns are therapeutic. So glad they finally got to this one and that Lex enjoyed it so much!

[@mikecaetano]

For a taste of what the song is about, check out Duke Ellington "Take the A Train", Count Basie "Jumpin' At The Woodside", Glenn Miller "In The Mood", Louis Armstrong "When the Saints Go Marching In", and Ella Fitzgerald & Chick Webb "St. Louis Blues", along with so many other greats!

[@jimtatro6550]

I was a kid when this came out and I immediately loved it and became a Stevie Wonder fan. This song is just plain old fun.👍🎧

[@fornax333]

Love Stevie Wonder. He has delivered so many great songs and if I can wish for a favorit to make a reaction video on I chose "I wish".

[@sarleywinkle]

The best!

[@stevemariman8769]

Stevie Wonder's music is irresistible! (Sir Duke, Superstition,) and "You Are the Sunshine Of My Life" "Master Blaster" "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" "I Just Called To Say I Love You" "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" "Ebony And Ivory"(with Paul McCartney) "Livin For the City" "Do I Do" "Golden Lady" "Boogie On Reggae Woman" "For Once In My Life" "Did I Hear You Say You Love Me?" "Ribbon In the Sky" "Part Time Lover" "My Cherie Amour" "Higher Ground" "In My Brain" "That Girl" "Send One Your Love" "Land Of La La" "Overjoyed" "As If You Read My Mind" "Isn't She Lovely?" "Front Line" "Happy Birthday" (lots more)

[@cptlou]

Love the horn section. I bought my first two albums in 76. Frampton Comes Alive and this one, Songs in The Key of Life because it had Sir Duke. The whole album is good.

[@stlmopoet]

Sir Duke = Duke Ellington Satchmo = Louis Armstrong Ella = Ella Fitzgerald Count Basie is mentioned. Also Glenn Miller. Stevie Wonder's greatest song.

[@surlechapeau]

My all-time favorite song is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. From the lyrics, vocals and every note!

[@lipby]

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" or "Superstition."

[@pauljansen1137]

Perhaps you guys should do a full Album review of "Songs in the Key of Life".....one of the best Albums ever!!!

[@quixote6942]

There was a Sitcom called "What's happening' that used this song a few times. There was a Heavy set Character called "Rerun" ( Fred Berry {RIP}) that Danced to it! It was a GREAT Sitcom! "hey HEY hey!".

[@Yepsuredid]

Songs in the Key of Life is one of the best albums ever made. Such a timeless masterpiece

[@Geerladenlad]

I remember hearing this song as a kid very young. It was being played by the guys who worked at the gas station that was behind my house. I also remember hearing Rubberband Man among many others.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

living in my apartment in queens in the late 70s I was a toddler...my parents played all the cool albums and those are my earliest memories...this song and album were on alot..such nostalgia.

[@jackndew2]

Brad and Lex, if you're really serious about listening to and experiencing popular music throughout the years, this song is naming names you want to be familiar with. After all, these are the artists and musicians that influenced the performers of early rock and today. And there are sooo many more. Every decade has it's hitmakers and influencers. Take note, look them up, enlighten yourselves and you'll enjoy the music much much more. Too often I hear from you both "I don't know" and it's NOT coming from your outro. I appreciate your reactions and think it's great that you're checking out old music, but you're just scratching the surface. There's so much more to know, understand and experience. Good luck and may God bless.

[@victorsixtythree]

"Sir Duke" refers to jazz musician and big band leader Duke Ellington. The song is a tribute to some of Stevie Wonder's jazz musician heroes. "For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo And the king of all, Sir Duke And with a voice like Ella's ringing out There's no way the band could lose " That would be Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Satchmo is Louis Armstrong's nickname, Sir Duke is Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.

[@WindmillChef]

DUKE ELLINGTON! Black music in the 60's and 70's was stellar to begin with and for this era there was no better than Stevie Wonder, his great music came in volume and in quality.

[@redindenver6666]

This was Stevie's tribute to the greats of the big band era, listing Basey, Miller, Sachemo and the king of all Sir Duke (Ellington). Then he praises Ella in the next line (Ella Fitzgerald). This album was just great -- every track was just perfect -- and so many different genres. Stevie IS a musical genius.

[@pauljeffries8529]

I love watching Lex getting in the groove to the music and Brad giving her the sideways glance like "ummm...are you ok?" LOL.

[@mikefetterman6782]

2 trumpets, a trombone, a tenor sax, a bari sax, an alto sax, a bass guitar, an electric guitar, drums and keys. I believe Stevie played most if not all of the instruments on the whole album recording.

[@thomastimlin1724]

This was 1977. We used to play this when it was new, me on keys, a horn band. Stevie went to school at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing MI, my hometown, with my cousin. didn't realize at the time, I was just a little kid.

[@andythrush3341]

Hard for me to think of a world without Stevie Wonder music. Lex, my brother, you need to dive into his musical history. It will make you feel more live. Love you guys!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

If Lex loves "that big band sound," y'all gotta get into The Brian Setzer Orchestra. I'd push the Easy button and start with Jump Jive and Wail, then proceed directly to Switchblade 327. You'll love it.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Sir Duke was Duke Ellington.. "Composer, pianist, and leader of his eponymous jazz orchestra from 1923 through the rest of his life."

[@dranderson6071]

One of the best songs ever

[@danaberman6929]

The look on Brads face when your screaming and rocking out Lex. Lol

[@douglasmijangos3327]

I remember when my niece was a little kid she would love to sing this song .. so full of joy .. she moved away and for a long time I couldn’t hear this song .. it make me choke up and tear up .. it’s kind of weird to cry to such a beautiful happy song .. 💔❤️

[@markclark4795]

Songs in the Key of Life. Stevie is a national treasure.

[@Fonny222]

I worked at a store and a live performance of this song was used as a demo for a speaker system and one of my coworkers used to sing “Bacon feeling all over!” Instead of “they can feel it all over” and I think of that every time I hear this song.

[@shellycasbeer3775]

Stevie is fantastic. Boogie on Reggae Woman, I Wish, You Haven't Done Nothin, Higher Ground, and so many more but the above I mentioned are truly outstanding🎶🎼🎵

[@keithhorrigan6230]

When the “oh,oh, oh” comes, hahaha!! Wakes me up to life every time! Thank you for the smile,,

[@rsw1227]

I'm just amazed how they never seem intrigued enough to find out what a reference, a phrase or word, or in this case names mean in a song. Especially when it's so easy to find out! It reminds me of asking a younger worker at a store, where something is located, and they shrug their shoulders and say "I don't know" as they don't miss a step as they walk by me. It doesn't even occur to them to go find out or ask someone else to show them.

[@rsw1227]

@gigi v I've seen many other reactors stop and Google something. One even called his grandma! I'm sure it has something to do with that the channel benefits from having a lot of comments. The fact that they guess a song's meaning (which is usually wrong) and then ask for comments doesn't make sense to me. It would be funny to see their reaction to their interpretation vs the actual meaning. To me it just seems disingenuous.

[@loristone9242]

One of the best songs ever. Period.

[@pattiguyre8968]

Oh how I love Stevie!! Thanks for really feeling this. Thanks to your couchgang for shedding light on the references!

[@briantimmons3075]

well, it's about time, this is what we in the deep south call Mardi Gras music. i have always LOVED this song. glad to see Lex shout out in joy!

[@charlesberton2581]

I don't just feel it all over, I hear this sing all over too. Classic. Thanks, cats.

[@kurtsaxton823]

Songs in the key of life was a masterpiece no matter what genre of music you listen to one of the greatest albums ever made.

[@jackcade68]

Music. Food. Art. Community. These are the things that we should exult as a species.

[@musicairplanes4884]

This song is off on of the greatest albums of all time. Songs in the Key of Life.

[@terenzo50]

One of his truly great songs. But does it make you want to delve into the musics of the 20s, 30s and 40s? Some of my personal faves include Ellington/Strayhorn, Teddy Wilson/Billie Holiday, the Gershwins, Albert Ammons, Benny Goodman et al. Tons of great music that preceded the 50s and informed them.

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Come on Brad. EVERY SINGLE BRIT knows this tune HOW CAN YOU NOT?

[@dimwit7474]

... pssst ... Glenn Miller's “In the Mood” would be a perfect followup. It's a BIG part of what brought us to Rock 'n' Roll

[@michaelnewell6385]

Being a native New Orleanian I can tell you it is all about the food, the music, traditions, and just having a great time. There are some incredible street performers that are just beautiful musicians. You can find them online and they will blow your mind.

[@FreeDonaldTrump1]

this was one of those songs that i had heard a million times when i was young but never knew the name of it. It was like that a lot before the internet age.

#1 hit in 1977. I was 5, and I remember when it hit #1. Good stuff! 🙂👍

[@melissas4874]

It's funny you say it makes you want to go to NOLA. I am from the area and this is (or was) played A LOT at Mardi Gras from trucks or from walking clubs that may use a car or other stereo to play their music.

[@NINJA52ELITE]

I think Stevie should change it to baby! "You can feel it all over" baby! Kind of gives it a different meaning! LMAO!

[@lindazee]

Sir Duke was not just a popular musician, but an icon...a legend! Actual name he went by was Duke Ellington, during the Big Band era of the 30s and 40s. That also goes for all the other legends he named in the song.

I remember listening to him when he was 13 year old Little Stevie Wonder. There are talented people and then there are geniuses. This song is a tribute from one genius (Stevie Wonder) to another genius (Duke Ellington.) Songs In the Key of Life was an exceptional album.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

Stevie Wonder remains one of the greatest of all time! Just cue up his greatest hits and sit back and enjoy. I suggest Stevie's "Living For The City" to react to.

I think she likes the song😆... By this time in the 70s a Stevie Wonder album was 'guaranteed' and 'must get'

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love your enthusiasm Lex. I love that sound as well. In fact, I started playing trumpet in public school in 4th grade and played it all the way until I graduated high school. I was first chair most of the time except for sometimes being demoted for a week due to pulling a prank on someone or something. But at any rate in high school, this song was so popular we learned it in marching band. And I loved playing this trumpet part so much I can't tell you. I mean I love the song as well and I already loved Stevie Wonder back then but and I didn't like marching band very much but I did love playing that. I believe we also played it in pep band or Stage Band. I mean I could pick up my trumpet today and still play that note for note, it just feels so good. If you haven't covered them yet, another fantastic one from around then is called I wish, man that thing is funky. But he's got so much good stuff, Signed Sealed Delivered from his early days of course but, I really really really really love his early 70s hit that I heard on the radio when I was in grade school, Boogie on reggae women. He's slurring his words like he's drunk but it's not, it's just a weird texture with very funky multiple layers of bass and synthesizer and it's kind of poignant, because he's talking about how he wished he could see these women dancing naked under the moon above, or in a different verse, just seeing two people truly fall deeply in love. And he's blind. So instead he makes this incredibly fun and contagious song. Here is a link to it. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bInEpn2LoL6lqdE

[@laurabrevitz3944]

How can Brad listen to this song and not smile? HOW??? And Lex's mom DEFINITELY knows this song. You need to have her on and play it again. We'll ALL be moving. Well, except Brad, apparently, off thinking about beignets. 🙄
