Lance Hoppen, original co-founding member of Orleans, here. Thanks so much for posting and LOVING this song! I was 18 when the band started. I'll be 69 in January. So nice to know fresh ears still respond so well to Still the One. Yes, it was a top 5 hit in '76, became the ABC TV theme song for '77-'78 and since then has been used in countless local and national TV/radio commercial campaigns, movies, TV shows and even political campaigns (both major parties). Probably why Amber said it sounded "familiar" :-) The stellar lead singer was my older brother, Larry, who passed suddenly in 2012. The co-writer (along with his former wife and writing partner, Johanna Hall) was John Hall. Guitars were by John and Larry, who also played the Fender Rhodes piano. The band has been through many changes over the years yet we still perform live now and into 2023, at least. You can find a wealth of video at our OrleansOnline channel, learn anything you might want to know about our history at OrleansOnline.net and interact with us on Facebook at Orleansmusic. Thanks again!

The 70s had so many good love songs. But now my fav songs are bout the Lord Jesus Christ He has given me so much peace Known that he died for every ones sins past present and future. taking every one's shame and guilt we have ALL SINED AND FALL SHORT. But only if you put ALL YOUR trust in him alone, He was the one that died a horrible death to cover all our sins past present and future Because sin cannot be in Heaven. I hope he gives you peace knowing you don't have to go to Hell for ever but be with in Heaven for ever with him. This is the best news you will ever hear.

[@masonsteele261]

John Hall of Orleans explained how the song came to be written in the liner notes to the Best of Orleans CD: "A friend of ours was going through a divorce and asked Johanna (Hall's wife and lyricist) to write a song about a couple staying together. So she did, and she handed me the finished lyric on the back of an envelope and said, 'Do you think you can do anything with this?' I wrote the music to it in 10 minutes, which was a good sign." In the late '70s, ABC's slogan was "Still The One," and the network used different versions of this song in their promotional campaigns. Many renditions were recorded by studio singers - often with female vocalists - for the spots.

1976 soft rock. American band Orleans co-founder, the late Larry Hoppen, sang lead. The lyrics of the up tempo love song are of a man describing his feelings for a woman with whom he has a long lasting intimate relationship ("You're still the one, I want to talk to in bed; Still the one that turns my head") and all the reasons why she is "Still the One" for whom he has feelings.

Someone may have already mentioned this: the song “Still The One” by Orleans was used by the ABC television network to promote their programming back around 1977. During that timeframe, ABC had been flying high in the ratings and so the title of the song was used to underscore the fact that ABC was “still the one” to watch. Some of those ABC promotional ads are posted on KZbin, so you can do a search for those. Here is a long-form version of the ad that ABC used to kick off their affiliates meetings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp-4dKqEndN-nZY

The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972.

I saw them in concert in 1977. They saved this number for midset and brought the house down!!

[@louiseeiffel1014]

Great song. Have been trying to think of bands you still need to hear - how about Blood Sweat, & Tears? You've Made me so Very Happy or Spinning Wheel could be a place to start.

[@kristenwinn9116]

One of my FAVORITE all time songs!!

Jamal was the first reaction videos that I followed, then I found you all and I've been loyal ever since!

[@spookytoothable1911]

Guys, the reason the guitar solo sounds so distinctive is because there are two guitars, harmonised together. It's one of their trademarks.

This my husband and my song. We've been together for 26yrs.

The other song you heard was, " Dance with Me ". I heard this song at a concert before the show on a $50,000 sound system -- SO GOOD !!! You HAVE to listen to this song LOUD while you're driving -- it will bring a smile to your face EVERY time !!!!

[@abelincoln3287]

Jay and Amber, you gotta check out "Hocus Pocus by Focus" (Midnight special edition). You might just love it, it will take about a week to get over it, but worth it.

The lead singer was Larry Hoppen. On the album cover he's the fourth to the right, round face and beard. May he rip.

[@jamielloyd5849]

Really like this song, brings back some memories. Still asking for Melissa Etheridge, I'm the only one!!!! Sarah McLachlan arms of an Angel!!! Conway Twitty, Love to lay You down!

[@lindakinninger5500]

Yes!! Melissa Etheridge is right up their alley

[@vickilloyd7472]

@@lindakinninger5500 I agree. But my song choices are very eclectic. I'd like for them to put a little more country in their reactions. Not new country, because I can't stand it.

[@julielynn10]

Yes - I’m the only one. You’ll love how raw her voice is.

[@jeromegallant2568]

Always loved this song. Everytime it comes on I have to crank it up.

Tommrow Thursday guys. Let's gear up for the weekend with some hard rock and metal!

[@nickcangemi]

I would be down for Pantera - I'm Broken

[@mikep6222]

I might check to see if they've done Zep's "Gallows Pole" That would be a good one.

[@lw3918]

@@mikep6222 I'd prefer something a little newer.

I have loved this song ever since I first heard it, whenever that was! 🎵

[@chrissimon9879]

You’ve probably heard this in a TV ad. I live in Yukon and I really dig your channel! Please keep it up!

ABC used it in the 70s as their theme song.

[@mattharvell9494]

One of the local casinos uses it I think

[@BillGraper]

I think I remember it in a commercial in the 90's or early 2000's.

[@user-rk1ie8lh4l]

This is my husband's and my song❤ We've been together 45 years and married 35 years this year. He's still the one through the highs and lows. Our lives have melded together in a way I couldn't of imagined all those years ago and I can't wait to see what the future throws at us🥰

[@kevincarpenter2525]

You should check out the band "Bread". I think you'll enjoy it. They have several big hits.

[@NunyaDammeBiznis]

The deep voiced man was singing throughout the entire song, his voice blended well with the others. It was made prominent at exactly the right moment. I grew up listening to this song. I love seeing people react to songs the first time. It takes me back to when it was new to me. ABC used this song in their commercials promoting their programming line up when it was still fairly new which helped in its popularity.

[@bigb6046]

You guys gotta check out "Moonlight Feels Right" from Starbuck - same vibe, same time period - you will love it.

[@ScottJohnson-tk7ql]

It's a love song for people like me and my lover who remember the song when it was new in '76.

[@Teletran35]

Back when I was a kid in the late 70's this song was used to introduce the new TV season for ABC.I think it was 1978..Still the one ment ABC was the number one station when the networks used to rule TV

[@BlazinRiver1]

Exactly...

[@jpmnewyork]

John Hall, who co-wrote this song with his then wife, was my congressman for a number of years, and I met him a few times. He credits the royalties he still collects with making it possible to live comfortably. He's the deeper voice doing harmonies, but he does perform this from time to time as a soloist.
