Rip😢❤

[@amandawade6148]

This song was a huge hit in the 60’s!! Loved it!! I grew up in a great music era!!❤❤❤❤

[@joehouse3800]

Absolutely Right!!! Like Bob Seager said: " Todays Music Ain't got the same Soul " ❤❤❤❤

[@sandralybrand9425]

Yes! We are so fortunate to have had great music in our lifetime! ❤

[@tacop11]

This is a great song. My youngest son and his wife are 25 years old and they know and love this song and the Oogum Boogum Song. My oldest son thanked me one day for exposing my children to all kinds of music.

[@patriciabarkley735]

I love this song! Haven’t heard it for years! I enjoy hearing you guys. it’s great to watch your reactions. Thanks! I still knew the words! Why can’t I remember other things? ♥️🌹♥️

[@cindyp1033]

Short for the radio! Great

[@twncintiohio]

I bought the 45 back in 67.

[@docnflossie7351]

Me too!🎉❤😊

[@faithnyou1732]

You have to do the "Oogum Boogum" song! I grew up with Brenton Wood's great songs! Songs were a lot shorter back in those days, and these two songs were big hits released in 1967, which is probably why you never heard of him. Thanks for another great reaction, guys! ✌💙✌

[@artharrison9586]

As soon as the chorus kicked in I recognized this tune. I'm pretty sure it was an AM radio staple years ago. Late 60’s? Early 70’s?

[@cathymarshall366]

Just became a teen when I first heard this kicky song.We lived in southern Illinois and it was broadcast from WLS in Chicago.

[@williamstlouis3368]

Popular so many years ago here in the South. Talking late 60s, early 70s. As was Oogum, Boogum. Peace out.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Oh yes, I love this song. I used to turn up the volume while driving…such a great song!👍👏👏👏🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️

[@weezy8029]

Thanks guys, you made my day!

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

That keyboard music in the middle reminds me of the British group, the Animals. My sisters and I used to dance to this back in the day when we were young. Songs could only be so long back then in order to be played on the radio.

[@minxiv7]

Love the classics 💜His other hit was The Oogum Boogum song and I LOVE that one!

[@TerryTsotigh]

Oogum Boogum Song. Guaranteed you can't sit still.

[@charlottedixon6628]

Feel good song. 🍁🙂

[@hipsville]

Grew up with this song and Oogum Boogum. We would learn all the words to OB and challenge friends to keep up with the lyrics. 😀 Benton Wood is great!

[@m3li55a5]

I love this song!

[@mikemiller3069]

My band used to cover this song in the late 80s/early 90s. We did several Motown songs, even though we were all white folks. But this song always got the dancers on the floor, as did some of our other Motown covers.

[@SoniT]

I know this song. My parents used to listen to the oldies radio station so I had to listen to this music.

[@tmobile8031]

If you’ve ever worked a job with the radio on all day, you know you can’t listen to most stations because they repeat constantly. Oldies is the way to go. That’s how I discovered this song and it has long been one of my favorites.

[@victorbloom8286]

CLASSIC

[@tbone2071]

Such a good song!

[@chacha59]

That’s our man! Brenton Wood!💙

[@christinewaide5249]

One of my favorite songs. ❤

[@marcbernard6641]

Absolutely beautiful

[@karrilola6337]

Pure happiness! Thanks for the pick me up!

[@958298bordeaux]

I remember this!!! When i was little my parents played this!❤

[@christinawoolley6206]

Yes!!! Dancing with my sister In our bedroom playing this on the little record player. 45s were a great way to buy a song! 🎶

[@beasam75]

Low Riders loved and respected Brenton Wood!

[@debibailey2968]

Always loved this song! Its just a classic!!! Glad to see your reaction!!! Loved that it made you move like it's done us for years!!!! Thanks guys!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariaportengen2959]

Haven't heard this song a long time. I really love this. I also grew up with this music from the sixties and seventies. 🎶🎶🎶👍🙋‍♀️

[@deegomez2089]

I've only requested 1 song from a radio station and that was...the Oogum Boogum Song 🎵🎵 Benton Wood deserves more love , such a great voice 💚

[@darlenebobik2219]

I remember listening to this with my big brother on his stereo. I wasn't sure what song this was until it started & funny enough even though I'm in my 60s now I remembered every word. Great song bringing back great memories. Thank you for that!

[@CharlotteBrown-bh1cd]

You guys do a really good job, thank you. I was a girl when this song was released. Love it. You cover a broad range of really good artists, Like ROY ORBISON too. Thank you 👍

[@zerep11]

My Wife's Ringtone on my cellphone *for years* has been Brenton Wood's "Oogum Boogum" 🥰 It just never gets old.

[@armandosalgado1121]

Brentonwood was played at all the Chicanos parties during the 60’s and 70’s. Brentonwood songs were standard. Everybody would dance to them.

[@CJ-Fischer]

Song is Pure Fire! I was born in the 60’s. Totally remember this but it’s been ages since I heard it 😅 thanks for reacting to it! Old school banger for us older peeps

[@kathyrizzi8754]

@@CJ-Fischer if you were born in the 60’s, you were a baby back then. My boys were born in the 60’s also & they say the 80’s were their music. They were teenagers then. The 60’s music was the Boomers era, Flower Power & Hippies, Vietnam war… Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, The British Invasion: The Beatles, The Animals, Mama & The Papa’s, The Grass Roots, Bell Bottom Jeans, flower shirts. Anyway, just giving you some of the 60’s when you & my boys were born.👍💜☮️ Peace Out! ☮️

[@alexyepiz4477]

Pretty much anything from Brenton is 🔥.

[@bernadettekutch5240]

Oh my goodness, I’d forgotten about this song!! It’s going to go on my current playlist. I love it! Brings back great childhood memories 🥰❤️ Thanks for your reaction, guys!💗

[@AncientBriton1948]

I was a DJ from the mid 60s until the mid 80s here in the UK and in sunny Spain and to be honest I'd completely forgotten about this. I'm pleased that it still has its toe tapping quality today as it did back in the days of Mono. Love your work 🇬🇧

[@thisisitreactions]

Toe tapping quality describes it best! Top Tier Comment!

[@VenusEnvy-1]

It don’t get any better than this!! I’m 55 and I remember my parents playing this at the house when I was little. Mom would be dancing around and dad would slap her booty and kiss her and then they would both dance around together @ThisIsItReactions This was such a nice flashback Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼💜💯

[@christarpley6861]

I remember this song you don't hear it much but it's a good song and another song is called It's Alright by JJ Jackson it's a catchy tune as well

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I wasn't sure if I'd know this one. Of course I do! ❤❤✌️

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I just looked him up. He's 83 . ❤❤✌️

[@thisisitreactions]

Glad he is still with us!!

[@mikecaetano]

Tasty! Brenton Wood (aka Alfred Jesse Smith) deserves far more recognition that he gets these days. From what I understand he was based in Compton/Long Beach, California, hence the palm trees in the video. When you're ready for more from him also check out some of these tasty tunes -- "I Think You've Got Your Fools Mixed Up", "I Like The Way You Love Me", "Me And You", "Baby You Got It", and of course, the "Oogum Boogum Song".

[@julzy3]

It's a little known fact that Ace of Base's 1993 hit The Sign was a sort of follow up song to this cool hit! /s 🤣🤣

[@quincee3376]

Cool.thx. i knew the song but had no idea who sang it. Now i know.

[@justmefl7045]

Love to see your reaction to Edgar Winter & White Trash - "Give It Everything You've Got" AND, Teskey Brothers - "Rain" (or, "Hold Me") Thanks for reviewing some of the classics from my day...

[@brandonboucher7090]

I highly reacting to Durand Jones and the Indications. They do this style of music and are a current band.

[@Chris-we7jx]

Great review guys. In the UK (prior to the Beatles - Hey Jude in August 1968 ) if you wanted a song to be a hit on the radio it had to be less than 3 minutes long. It is amazing just how many 60's singles are 2 mins 58 seconds. All of the so called experts said the Beatles track was too long to be a radio hit. Could you please review George Michael - Fastlove. Incredible track. Thank you.

[@jdw5678]

Even though Wood was from Louisiana, this record was out of L.A. (the Double Shot label). His songs are popular in the low rider community too. Besides "Oogum Boogum Song," he also had some minor hits with "Baby You Got It" and "Catch You On the Rebound." Also good ones, but not as big as the other two.

[@brie3636]

👌

[@christinewaide5249]

There’s another song called “Give me just a little more time” by Chairmen of the Board that I think you guys would like too.

[@kellygreen7559]

I need the name of the artist that did this song And when I start hearing the music then right before the hook came on I start singing ITIT was fun watching your reactions

[@gilbertdiaz1832]

You guys should listen to soul by war i know it’s something y’all will like!

Great reaction. Please react to Pete and Bas - Window Frame Cypher Featuring The Snooker Team

[@uglee4935]

Hey guys how about checking out Billy ocean the song suddenly

[@traveldoc1234]

The little girl on the last season of All in the Family, Danielle Brisbois covered this song and it sounds more up to date in the 90s, I met her at a show and bought her CD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqu3lnqAm5yJisUsi=6hD2CxO-ORMzRiLE
