WHOA!| FIRST TIME HEARING Swing Out Sister - Breakout REACTION

[@tomflorio3639]

This group/song has a special place in my life. Back in '88, I was on the MTV game show "Remote Control"; the bonus round consisted of identifying the artists in 9 music videos. This was the last video - after shouting out "SWING OUT SISTER!" I won the big prize: a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta. Thanks, Swing Out Sister!

[@fluffkiss18]

That must be an awesome memory! Very cool. I'm a fan as well.

[@plymouthcolt]

Awesome story!

[@tomflorio3639]

@NateG-nx7rm I'll admit - watching at home, I always wondered what it would be like to be in the chair that flipped up into the air when it was pulled back. I wanted to know how they got the kid down! I never did find out.

After their first few albums the trio became a duo and a couple. SOS went in a much more jazzy sound and fell off the pop radar.

I just love them! :) Check out another great song by them "Am I The Same Girl?"

[@jamescostin9998]

Brother, I gotta give Cathy Dennis an honorable mention there. 👍🏻

[@kellypedersen6590]

This was one of the weirder genre mash-ups of the mid 80s; artists like Swing Out Sister, Sade and Everything But The Girl essentially fusing new wave modernism with the slick, jazzy cocktail pop of the 50s/ 60s. It was awesome.

[@juliewhite7469]

So good! Everything But the Girl is one of my favorite groups 🥰

So glad you reacted to this one - I LOVE Swing Out Sister. Their debut album “It’s Better to Travel” is sensational - a great soul/Jazz vibe throughout, and every track on there is a gem. I recommend “Twilight World” and “Surrender” as well. Their music never fails to make my ears happy.

I have great memories of walking to work w/this song playing on Walkman in 1987, btw I’ve a hairstylist for 40yrs & so many young women (if they weren’t into the 80’s big hair) brought in pictures of the lead singer to cut their hair into straight bobs w/bangs that year too! Note her retro makeup, that was also an alternative trend going on-for the girls who weren’t into wearing the 8 shades of eyeshadow, the lead singer & the singer Sade were wearing cateye liner & red lipstick, & many of us tried to copy it, way wayyyy before KZbin & tiktok tutorials!

This song was Swing Out Sister's first Top 40 hit in America. The song peaked at the #5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the fall of 1987. By the way, the lead singer, Corrine Drewery, does has a terrific voice indeed!!!

Amber, another song you could use for Female Fridays that would put you in the same mood as "Break Out" is "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina & The Waves. Three other songs I'd also like to recommend for Female Fridays that I don't think you've ever heard are "Get Here" by Oleta Adams, "Moonlight In Vermont", by Sarah Vaughn, and "Street Life" by Randy Crawford wih the Crusaders.

[@fayesouthall6604]

The 3 suggested songs - hell yeah !

I LOVE this song! It’s a pretty special song for me because of where it takes me back to….SPAIN. During the academic year of 1987-88, I spent a year in Seville, Spain studying language and Spanish history. This song played a ton at our favorite dance club/bar appropriately named “Club Rio” because it sat right next to the Rio Guadalquivir, the major river that runs through Sevilla. In fact, Christopher Columbus brought gold to Spain from the New World on this very river. Such history!!

SOS is in my top 5 bands of all time. This early music is a bit poppier but still has the pop standards & jazz quality they dive deep into in later albums and they continue to make music only getting better. They are in the vein of Burt Bachrach. Check out Better Make it Better, their cover of La La (Means I Love You) and Where Our Love Grows.

[@elcanaldemeteoro]

Swing Out Sister is my favorite group of the eighties, it is a very particular group since it did not obtain a massive success, but it overflows quality, evokes positivity and leaves a very optimistic and emotional vibe in each of its songs, far from the dark tone that the British groups of that time took as the cure. S.O.S combines pop with jazz influences, some big band arrangements and various funk elements with a lot of refinement and splendor. Their first album is simply a masterpiece! I love the channel, I recommend you react to the song "Suave" by Luis Miguel

More by them.... "Twilight World" "Blue Mood" "Something Everyday" "Am I the Same Girl?" "The Waiting Game" "Butterfly" "Now You're Not Here" "Circulate" "Who's Been Sleeping?"

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite 80's groups. To clear up the confusion from the internet information of this group being a duo yet you see three people in this video, Martin Jackson, the brunette and drummer for the band left after the album, It's Better to Travel which included Breakout. Singer, Corinne Drewery was a former fashion model and clothes designer who joined Martin Jackson and keyboardist, Andy Connell to form Swing Out Sister named after an obscure musical from the 1940's. The group continued as a duo after Martin Jackson left and had several more light Jazz type hit records. May I suggest as your next Swing Out Sister reaction be either Twilight World or Surrender, both which feature more horns. Source: Wikipedia.
