When I first heard this song I was hooked, Rick James' voice is so powerful and Smokey's so sweet!!!

[@lawannalw]

I forgot how awesome the video is!

[@nicolehill4812]

This song makes me cry. It's their beautiful voices.

[@jalandacurry4585]

Rick James sang his FACE OFF on this song!!!!!!! This song came out when I was 7 years old, and I remember my mom playing the 45 on her record player!!!!! I love it. Thanks, S & M!

[@judytherose9296]

…and his voice on this one was as soft as Smokie’s in the beginning that if you didn’t know them you wouldn’t have known whose who…🔥♥️🌹

[@JeffGrimes-bo4cc]

Check out Hollywood by this man about his . Man

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

Rick James! ❤ His Gorgeous Voice!

[@DannyDeAvila-i4m]

Rick James was always praised for songs like 'Superfreak' which was a great fun song but his vocal range is so superb and this song is a perfect example. As for Smokey, well, he's a straight up legend and one of the greatest male vocalist ever.

[@Lovejazz01]

Yep, every time I see young people react to the old school, I’m glad young people are blessed to love it and gave it available to enjoy, but sadly not many young artists today know how to put feelings of love into the lyrics of a simple but beautiful song like this, everything has to be about sex, drama and swag…

[@rebeccalipps23]

Yeah, I imagine they had to wipe some dust off this one. I had forgotten Rick's actual singing. That storyline is compelling, too, especially given the anniversary of Pearl Harbor at this time of year.

[@erinmontgomery6367]

I LOVE this song!...Another classic from the 80's....Check out the song "Teadrops" by Rick James...

[@Weez843]

❤❤facts 💯 real music

[@Cryptodegen2A]

Absolute killer duo! Their voices compliment each other’s perfectly.

[@mltrsdiva]

this tune never gets old, omg, still a beautiful song, love playing it all the time, kuddos to rick and Smokey and RIP Rick!!!

[@FlexWheeler2nd]

Reminds us that African American music used to be so much more than rap and hip-hop, sex, drugs, money, materialism, arrogance, and self-centeredness.

[@destinidelmonico8854]

Yes!

[@emmetttill4182]

we're the greatest artist of all time, but seems like we're the only one's that don't know that

[@lmr1300]

This has been my favorite song since I was a teen back in the 70's! I was waiting for someone to play this!!! Thank you!

[@johnmadriljr.2951]

Happy to Live this era, so much great music, that still needs to be discovered, by younger generation,

EBONY EYES IS SONG RICK PRODUCED A TRIBUTE TO BLACK WOMEN!!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Hey y’all! Haven’t heard this one before. There’s another song called “Ebony Eyes” (totally different and such a groove) It’s by Bob Welch. I’d LOVE to see y’all react to that one- it will get those shoulders going and you groovin’ in y’all’s seats- It has a GREAT driving guitar/bass line! 🙂💜✨

[@amyk9175]

That’s the tune I think of when I hear Ebony Eyes. That is a great one!

[@mizzcarla7191]

The Stylistics has an Ebony Eyes also...upbeat

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

@@amyk9175 same! I saw the title and got excited.. nothing against this song. I just LOVE Bob Welch’s “Ebony Eyes!”

[@BradLovett]

@@mizzcarla7191 There was also a rather maudlin Ebony Eyes by the Everly Brothers which was about a plane crash.

[@empire7179]

@@kimberlinibambini1988 Well they did that because In Black culture Ebony means beautiful Black woman.. That's what Ebony magazine was dedicated after..

[@silvanaalvessantana8536]

Eu ouço essa música desde os meus quatro anos, tenho 42 e ate hoje ela me emociona !

[@adublbeatz8656]

Man!!! I always want to sing this song....You're exactly right, an amazing collab!!

[@mamamac70]

Love this one! Beautiful song. ❤

[@valentaestewart8000]

This was a SUPER collaboration!!! They should've done more ❤

[@empire7179]

I use to think the younger generation didn't like our music that's why they wasn't trying to recreate anything similar to it? It never dawned on me that your generation never heard of this music??? But I heard this song a thousand times and I didn't know that Ebony Eyes was dedicated to a plane..

[@emmetttill4182]

it's not dedicated to a plane, are you serious? as far as their generation not knowing or liking this music, just look at the posters on the wall and the shirt she's wearin... they've been white washed!

[@mariavieira9379]

I love this music.It's a legend

[@farrellcityking1]

A monumental piece of art

[@angelacleveland7513]

I had forgotten all about this song. Watching and listening to this brought back so many memories. I love it! Can you please react to Luther Vandross and Gregory Hines song together There’s nothing better than love. Another classic Y’all will love it.

[@jerseystrong3424]

This is the jam right here 🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@rog2849]

Brilliant duet

[@sandywong1951]

Beautiful song ❤❤❤

[@lindakoschwitz7370]

Oh Smokey...makes my heart soar.

[@Dianne-warrior]

I love your hair here Mel, and the color on you; very pretty ❤❤❤

[@otisroseboro5613]

A Great Duet

[@jacquelineford9765]

Shawn and Mel you should do a reaction to Standing On The Top with Rick James and The Temptations. It had all of the members at the time as well as David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks who left the group years before. The only one missing was the late Beau Williams who passed away in the early 70's. Some people don't realize Melvin Franklin was Rick James's Uncle and that he sometimes sang backup on some of his records.

[@billbaglivo654]

This is a great song. You 2 do a great job. GOD Bless you and your family in JESUS name.

[@destinidelmonico8854]

Love this! Also love Elvis in the back!

[@dwainwilder7337]

Great song! Check out Smokey’s “Ooo Baby”. Another great hit by him.

[@shadlondon9134]

Ya’ll are WONDERFUL.Keep up the good work and please keep the classics coming.I’m an over the road trucker,and ya’ll get me through some of my longest nights.Will you please react to William Bell I FORGOT TO BE YOUR LOVER and Alexander O’Neal SENTIMENTAL. Thanks Primetime the trucker.

[@suzanneprock7286]

"You and I" by Rick James is a must. And "This is it" by Natalie Cole, you'll love both!

[@mariavieira9379]

It's a great tribute to the black woman

[@eroi8548]

A canção perfeita

[@johnwoodward5336]

OMG I loved your reactions, new subs 🤍🤍🤍

[@user-rv7bf4nk9r]

Love this song!

[@thewordkeeper]

For me the best part of this video is when their women bought the boat, borrowed a boat or however they got it and went out looking for their men, found them and brought them back home!

[@creditorclass6513]

Brotha's ain't telling Sista's how they feel anymore

[@ellerootz6702]

Tha cut!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Ir feels like they got some inspiration from Gilligan's Island.😆 But beyond the corn, they are both amazing artists.

[@mp3155]

Some of the best music and musicians ever! Im Mexican and I grew up with these songs from the 70's and 80's. Nothing like that good old music! It's sad to hear most of the music ever since 2000 and till today most isn't good music. The beats are some good but the lyrics just aren't at all in most songs. Well my friends that's my comment. Keep searching for those good old songs and you'll be amazed of how many hundreds of thousands good songs there were one after another back in the days. Keep your love strong, maybe some day I'll have the pleasure of meeting you guys. Saludos from Mexico!

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

[@emmetttill4182]

@8:50 you think this song is about a plane??? 🤣🤣🤣 🤦🏿‍♂. well anyway, i remember when this song came out, a racist journalist slammed smokey for participating in what he called "garbage". he said he thought smokey had more class than that.

[@kevinlowe4953]

Love all the comments... but you guy's on the comments (not the reactors) don't give Smokey enough credit(and I can only stand his candy sweet voice in small increments, because to much will give me diabetes...to sugary sweet).... Rick brought it because he HAD TO....Smokey is the shit... and I am totally Rick James bitch... but singing... c'mon now you guy's know... I'm just saying the guy helped build Motown.. give him some fuckin credit .

[@gregorypatton4706]

Great song great Duo great love song unfortunately Smokey Robinson years ago decided to go and get plastic surgery on different parts of his face and it really messed him up I mean his face is all messed up he wishes he never had done it I know that then I heard he tried to do it again to cover up the first person who messed him up it didn't do any good that's sad Smokey Robinson my favorite song by him and the Smokey Robinson and the miracles was Mickey's monkey you can see on KZbin and other places where plastic surgery has gone bad how people have messed up their faces famous people

[@keithroberts4952]

I think smokey looks great for an 82 year old man these days. His vegan lifestyle has kept him going strong, both him and his best friend, Berry gordy!

[@MsRmaclaren]

Ebony Eyes by Bob Welsh is better.

[@timothyb3121]

Well We all have our own opinions now don't We.👎🏾

[@emmetttill4182]

@@timothyb3121 they can't stand it when black people support each other, they'll say anything to discourage young blacks!

No it's not better....that's your opinion only not everyones.....actually this WAYYY better than your Bob Welch song.
