Dennis Edwards - Don't Look Any Further ft. Seidah Garrett | REACTION

[@Lovejazz01]

Don’t know how this song did on the pop charts, but I tell you what.. THIS SONG WAS HOT 🥵 AS FIRE on the R&B /Soul charts, all over R&B radio stations, in everyone’s ride, and if course HOT in the clubs! This song set the mood for any occasion! Brings back good early 80’s memories, what a time ! If you don’t know already her name is pronounced “ Si-ee-daaa Garrett, she is a legendary performer and songwriter, she is most known for singing with Michael Jackson on the duet “ I Just Can’t Stop Loving You “ but even better known for writing MJ’s legendary song “ Man In The Mirror “ ….

[@TaylorMadeCori]

You are SO RIGHT!!!!! IT. WAS. 🔥🔥🔥Adults were SO cool to me when I was little....because we had stuff like THIS as proof!!! OMGG. The SWAG!! This song was everything.

[@angelagazzo4800]

We had the best music in 70’s and 80’s R &B…

[@nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511]

You need to hear him in PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE!!! The long 11 minute version... MASTERPIECE you'll see.

[@jennifera7651]

Absolute MASTERPIECE!

[@JocelynHarris-dq3vu]

Something else to add is "She's a Bad Mamma Jamma" by Carl Carlton. I know my sorority strolls to it when I was in college.

[@jennifera7651]

One of THEE best songs!! Now that I know you love old school R&B you must do "Alexander O'Neal " A broken heart can mend", "Saturday Love", "If you were here tonight", I'll stop there because there is too much good stuff!!! Love you guys!!

You guys need to listen to James Ingram. He was fantastic.

[@Citizenesse8]

I keep mentioning this. I think they should start with Yah Mo Be There since it has Michael McDonald.

[@free1855]

Yah Mo be there is so underrated. Such a soul classic.

I listen to it over and over. Never get tired of it after all this years. One of my absolute fav ❤ I even use it for the alarm of my phone.

Si-e-da. She co wrote Man in the Mirror. And sung on I Just Can't Stop Loving You with MJ.

[@Robshere27]

I can't believe you guys have never heard "DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER"....It is THEE...best duo song in human history...!

[@JocelynHarris-dq3vu]

Also, TLC used that as a sample for "Unpretty".

Her name is pronounced Sy E Ta Garrett. She co.wrote "Man in the Mirror." And duets with Michael on "I just can't stop loving you."

[@Chefcorky]

Somewhere out there is a version of this song with Jermaine Jackson and....Whitney Houston. It was recorded and never released. If I remember the story, they recorded it first for Whitney's first album. But they decided not to release it after this version was released. I love Siedah but I think Whitney's vocals would have been fire! Siedah also wrote I Just Can't Stop Loving You for Michael Jackson. She also wrote Man in the Mirror.

[@Citizenesse8]

Love this song.

[@hollyreese2329]

R&B singers who can flat-footed sing DOWN like this today? Singers like K-Ci and JoJo Hailey from Jodeci, Anthony Hamilton, Johnny Gill....just to name a few...Gerald Levert (RIP) had it, he left us way too early...I wish these types of singers come back around to be the thing. Music really needs them right now..

[@emeraldtiger7135]

The back story to this video is the most hilarious thing ever! I love it! lol. For another R&B Banger, try Rene and Angela's "Your Smile".

[@pppexplorer]

[@MikeStarr1000]

That was amazing, more of that

[@Wordsmyth8]

There are a lot of great soul/funk tunes from the 1980s. After being into Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne through the ‘70s, I jumped headfirst into the funk pool in the ‘80s - thanks largely to WKYS radio out of D.C. Next, try something like “I’ll Be Good” by Rene and Angela or “Risin’ to the Top” by Keni Burke. You’ll love them both, I gar-on-tee it! ☺️

[@DM-do5hf]

Love it so much….class!!❤❤❤❤

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

1. It’s spelled S-I-E-D-A-H. 2. It’s pronounced SY-EEE-DAH. ✌🏽 (Ryan, this is a cookout classic ✊🏾)

[@MattB-h3n]

Great reaction, guys. Siedah Garrett was also the female duet singer with Michael Jackson on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (perhaps one of the best ballads in the 1980s). If you want to dive more into 1970s/1980s R&B/Soul, here are some options (not necessarily to react to in this order): Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love," "Where Is The Love" and "The Closer I Get To You" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, James Ingram's "One Hundred Ways," "Just Because" by Anita Baker, Jeffrey Osborne's "On The Wings of Love," Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin" (We're Not In Love Anymore), Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed" and "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life," Whitney Houston's "Didn't We Almost Have It All," Gladys Knight and the Pips' "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me," and Peabo Bryson's "If Ever You're In My Arms Again." Non-1970s/1980s Bonus song: The 2005 version of the song "One" by U2 and Mary J. Blige. Hope it might help bring some more classic R&B/Soul to the channel given how much you both seemed to enjoy this song.

[@MattB-h3n]

Sorry, mind is racing on so many options. If you're looking to do more uptempo R&B/Soul/Funk songs from the 1970s and 1980s, here's another possible starter list (not necessarily in any order): "Good Times" and "Le Freak" by Chic, Donna Summer's "Last Dance," "Heaven Knows," and "This Time I Know It's For Real," "Superstition" and "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" and "Rock With You," Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know," "September" by Earth, Wind, & Fire, Blood, Sweat, & Tears' "You've Made Me So Very Happy," "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman, "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "She Wants To Dance With Me" by Rick Astley, Phil Collins' and Philip Bailey's "Easy Lover," Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way," "Lady Love Me" and "Turn Your Love Around" by George Benson, and Prince's "Raspberry Beret." Non 1970s/1980s Bonus Song: "Don't Want To Fall In Love" by Jane Child (1990). Hope it helps.

[@reshaud81]

She also sang the 1988 song, Ever Changing Times for the Baby Boom movie soundtrack. Aretha Franklin and Michael McDonald covered it in 1991!

Classic y'all. The bassline has been sampled in several notable hip hop songs - Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full", Junior MAFIA's "Get Money", 2Pac's "Hit Em Up" and UGK's "Like a Pimp".

[@kevinator41]

Such an iconic song from back in the day! And this video is very tongue-in-cheek { Not to be taken to seriously )

[@raymondwoodard6779]

His singing partner is Siedah Garret who also did the duet with Michael Jackson on "Man in the Mirror." You guys should do more R&B. There was some good stuff in the seventies and eighties.

[@Wordsmyth8]

They should because they obviously love it!

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yup and Siedah co-wrote “Man In The Mirror”. ✌🏽

[@gershman23]

Actually the duet Garrett sings with Michael is "I just can't stop loving you"...which she didn't write. She does supply (some) backing vocals in 'MITM', which she indeed co-wrote. Both from the great "Bad" album.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

@@gershman23Yup. I just think the original messenger meant the “Bad” album, not “MITM”.✌🏽

I have to say, I had never heard of this one. Love the reaction, guys! I think I got into R&B a couple years later and never heard it on the one station, WBLZ, that Cincinnati had that played R&B.

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

You guys are Rush fans right? You should check out Max Webster. (band not a person) they were friends with Rush and opened over 200 of their concerts. Tons of talent. Another Canadian band that was huge in Canada, but never made it anywhere else. You guys will love them. Hangover, Toronto Tontos, Lily, High Class in Borrowed Shoes, Diamonds Diamonds, Astonish Me, Beyond the Moon, The Party, Paradise Skies, Night Flights, A Million Vacations, Let Go the Line, I could go on and on. They did a song with Rush once called 'Battle Scar'. That would be a good one to start with, but Max Webster on their own is killer.

Siedah Garrett: That video was shot in the basement of Motown Records. I think it cost $11.57 including the electricity! And Dennis was not in his best form. In fact, Dennis was so amped up, the video director between shots, she would come over [with a piece of paper] and she said, “Can you put your gum in…” And Dennis said, “I ain’t got no gum?! I ain’t got no gum! Ain’t no gum in my mouth!” He was just chewing the s**t out of his own tongue. I swear to God… And then, I didn’t know it at the time, but you know, when I turned around with my back to Dennis… I didn’t know that he was humping me behind me?! I had no idea. And when I saw it, I said, “That nasty bastard!”
