Can you believe the band Kicked out Derek Holt over the song, refused to tour to support it. So, we should call it Derek Holt song, only time he performed it live in the USA was in a karaoke bar in Clearwater Florida. It never got an international release because they would perform it.
The last line about “If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me” - heard this song as a very young girl and hoped that one day someone would say that to me. Took many years, but yes, it finally happened! 🥰 Such a great song - thank you for reacting!
Great behind the scenes story where the singer many years later was at a Tampa bar and karaoke was going on. His wife found they did have this song and she got him to go up and sing it No one knew it was him, but when he sang the first line heads turned and everyone knew it was him Cool story!!
Derek Holt, the singer, not only sang the song, he wrote it. The irony is, this song essentially broke up the band. There are no live recordings of the song because other members flat refused to perform the song while on tour. Why? Envy, they didn't want to promote a song from which only Holt would receive royalties. Shortly before Holt wrote this song the band voted about splitting royalties evenly between the members. That vote was to keep royalties proportionate to the amount of input to a given song. Since Holt wrote they lyrics and orchestrated the entire song, his royalty share was 100%.
One of the greatest love songs ever written. I sang this song to my wife at our wedding 24 yrs ago and I meant every word. Glad you guys discovered this gem.
As a 54 yr old male this song is what I listened to back in the 80s. Meeting women and relationships was so much different back then. You would meet a female and she would give you her phone number and it was a landline shared by the whole family. When I called to speak to her I spoke to the parents first then her. I remember sitting in the car and when this came on we talked about our future and made out all night long on a side street. I have been single for 10 years now and will remain so because nowadays true love is lost. Social media and texting has taken over. Back in the day if a woman gave you her number she couldn't give it out to too many guys because her parents would wonder what was going on. Nowadays a woman can give her a number out to numerous guys, her Instagram or SnapChat etc.. I'll just sit back and listen to this song. I remember the good old days.
Dare I say it, this song has a Badfinger vibe. I could almost hear Pete Ham singing this and that lead guitar solo is very Beatles-esque. That slide. The harmonies.
Coming from a 57 year old that has gone through two heartbreaking and painful divorces… YOU TWO have such a beautiful gift and partnership that you need to fight like hell to keep. It’s not always easy… but if you endure and the love remains… heaven will be your reward. 🙏❤️🙏
Climax Blues Band's "I Love You" was their 4th & final single to chart in the Billboard Hot 100, peaking @ #12 in 1981. CBB's biggest hit was the 1st to chart in the U.S. "Couldn't Get it Right" which peaked @ #3 in1977.
@@gregrowe1168 band wouldn't perform it and cancel the US tour. They screwed over Derek Holt, because it was basically his song. Had they supported it likely it would have.
This song came out around the time I met my Wife. She is from Idaho and I grew up in Georgia and we met in Ramstein Germany. Almost feels like this was written for us
One of those forgotten 80's songs... well, not forgotten by me. This is one amazing love song!!! I'm glad you both got to hear it. 🙂 This is the studio version. They made it look live.
I used to sing this song to my wife, and I always put everything into the line "If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me". She went to Heaven in 2008, and while I am very sad when I hear this song, I'm also happy for the good memories it gave me with her. I'm glad you got to finally hear it, because it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
My husband gave me a cd of this song right before we got married. Every word described us. He passed away in 2016 and I never forget this song. I'm so happy you two enjoyed it.
This song is the story of my life. I am so grateful for all my wife has done for me. And 45 years later this song still ring true. Thanks again babe for being my friend. Thanks Jay & Amber for your love of great music.
Love this song! I always used to sing this to my first cat Kodo. One day, it was playing on the radio & I started singing it. He laid in my lap, looked up at me and closed his eyes. He passed away 17 years ago...Lord I miss my little boy.😢
This song came out in 1981, the year I met my husband. We dated for 2 months and fell hard for each other but then I went off to college. I played this song every day on the school cafeteria jukebox because it made me think of him. We'll be celebrating 40 years of marriage this summer.❤
My wife and I got married in June of 1981 and we had this song played at our wedding. 42 years later I still feel like this song was written for my wife. She still takes care of me and watches over me!
Lovely song. Totally one of those slow dance songs you would expect to hear at prom or a wedding reception. “Couldn’t Get It Right” is another good one of theirs that is a bit more bluesy. This was one I actually requested a couple of months ago and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one, but it’s so nice how great you are and generous you are to your subscribers. Love being part of the RSR family. 🙏
This song came out in 1980 when I was 11. I had no understanding at all what that kind of love was like, but I sure did sing it with passion at the top of my lungs like I felt it. Such a very pretty song. Great reaction, J & Amber! ❤
I've been married and divorced three times. There are times if I'm feeling sad or melancholy that I can listen to this song over and over and over again because of the memories it can bring. Baker Street is another song that hits me that way.
I posted above before I spotted this. I get Gerry Rafferty vibes from the Climax Blues Band. Obviously (like you) I love "Baker Street" but I think my favourite track of his is probably "Night Owl".
When you listen to top 40 classic rock, like I do, songs like this have a tendency to be overlooked and not often listened to. I'm happy I tuned in for this. It is a fantastic song. Your reaction is honest and genuine as always. Thank you.
Jay & Amber, great reaction to a band I haven't heard in decades. You need to check out " Couldn't get it right " By Climax Blues Band. Fantastic banger !
You guys I heard this group on the radio in 60's or early 70's I can't remember, but I went out and bought their record. And I played it all year!!! I LOVE THIS BAND!!!
One of the greatest love ballads in history. One of the greatest songs, ever. I remember hearing this song on the radio in my parents Chrysler Cordoba in 1981. As I got older I always envisioned I’d have this song at my wedding one day. That wedding never happened, but I still love this song!
Aww, I love this song! It wasn't our first dance, but this was a very memorable dance and me and my husband's wedding, which was 20 years and 3 days ago today! 🥰🕺💃💍
Senior Prom night 81, Don't remember to much about that Prom (Hey it was the early 80's) But I do remember "I Love You" song and the slow dance with my girl at the time. I've been waiting for Rob Squad reaction to this song! Happy Mother's Day too
"All the Time in the World" is another great one by Climax Blues Band. Once again a band I haven't thought about in a long time. Thanks for reminding me.
I Love this song, always so good. Amber that was actually the studio version of the song, with them playing behind it. If you check it out you'll see they are the same.
Oh my GOSH!!! You finally did this song! It’s in my top 5 of all times! Where he says, “If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me.” Is the best line in a song ever in my opinion! ❤️❤️❤️ Now you need to do Something About You by Level 42!
My grandson is 13 and recently bought his first vinyl. He said "Marmie, guess what my first vinyl is?" I said idk. He said it has a song you told me a long time ago is one of your favorite songs. It's Climax Blues Band, I love you. I said what? That's awesome! He was excited to start his collection. I have always loved this song. Thank you for reacting to it.❤
You guys take me back within the rock of the 60s, 70s, and on and on. Still want to hear more Alan Parsons, specifically the album Try Anything Once, the song Turn it Up.
This is definitely on my top five list of "songs I wish I had experienced in my lifetime." Such pure emotion and love... made me cry the first time I heard it.
The lyrics of this beautiful song are soooo good. When a bride and groom asked me to pick a song for their first dance this was my choice. Such an emotional song to dedicate to your life partner...
The lyrics are everything. I've absolutely adored this song from the moment I heard it back in the day, it's soo heartfelt, one of those songs you look back on, after years of marriage. "If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me, and oooo, I love you" my fav line in this cut. This one's a keeper you guys!!!
Jay and Amber you 2 are amazing, watch you 2 all the time, I'm 61 years old, I'm still an 80's hairband guy, but I listen to music from the 50's to now, country, blues hard rock and soul, I love some older blues, my favorite
Yep...a beautiful song. This song was the MOST requested and dedicated at the skating rink during couple's skate. The lyrics say everything a woman wants to hear. My love story to this song went so well with the lyrics. He was young, wild and a troubled kid. I came into his life and tamed the wild beast in him...to a degree...LOL!! We had a rough relationship, we had good times and bad...but we always came thru for 14 years. We had two sons....who he LOVED so much. But he just could not get it together, drinking and the trouble that comes with it....I could not continue especially with kids along for the ride. I left. He went to prison for years for several charges...all because of drinking. When he got out...and I had moved away....he reached out...came to visit....and admitted to me that after all he put me through...I was always still standing there for him. He said I was the cement that kept us together all those years and I was the MOST stubborn, strong woman he had ever known. And he apologized for not seeing that right before his eyes, all those years of chaos, that his best friend was sleeping right beside him every night...and he did not even see it until I was gone. I still loved him...but there was too much baggage and too much scarring from all that he had put me through so I couldn't even fathom getting back together with him. We had a better friendship apart than we did together. He got killed in 2010 about 3 months after he poured his heart out to me. And that put another scar on my heart. To this day...I am still single...my kids are grown now and I have 4 grand kids and one on the way. If he were here...those grand kids would be so spoiled. He messed up a lot when it came to us....but the kids...he put his heart into everything he did for them. The grand kids would be ruined from being spoiled rotten. LOL To this day...I still love him.
Awwww! I can't even tell you! You guys just took me back in time! These guys were a 1 hit wonder.....at least in America. But OMG! I CANT EVEN.....LITERALLY....BACK IN TIME, and I'm a love struck teenager again. THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Old school songs were more often than not about appreciating our partners. Songs like this came out once a year so that everyone was playing them on Valentines Day to their sweethearts. Remember Ladies… We Love you 🎉 The Ladies had songs of their own to play for their man, like Come To Me by James Ingram. We did a lot of communicating between the sexes with our music … back then. 😊
An S tier song for sure! It's one of the last 45s I ever purchased. From 1980 I love it completely. It's enough to make a grown mean cry. That's exactly how I feel about my wife.
Their other big American hit was a few years before this one, it was called Couldn't Get It Right and it is completely different than this song, it is more like you would expect them to sound like from the name of the band.
Been around since 1968,really popular in the late 60’s and 70’s and 80’s Need to check out Couldn’t Get It Right,Shake Your Love,Together and Free,Hey Baby Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,Reap What You Sow,So Many Roads,Fool for the Bright Lights,Mistress Moonshine,Please Don’t Help Me,Goin’to New York,Saint Michael’s Blues,Hey Mama,are some of a great rabbit hole of blues rock you’re going to love.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever!

Back when musicians were actually musicians. What a concept!
I'm 60yrs old and I will tell you this. The 70's and 80's were the BEST decades for music. IMHO todays music is toilet water.
Absolutely!

Great suggestion 🥰

Old school songs were more often than not about appreciating our partners.
Songs like this came out once a year so that everyone was playing them on Valentines Day to their sweethearts.
Remember Ladies… We Love you 🎉
The Ladies had songs of their own to play for their man, like Come To Me by James Ingram.
We did a lot of communicating between the sexes with our music … back then. 😊
A beautiful story of a song from beginning to end
One of my favorite songs in my teen years. Can't believe you sampled it.
An S tier song for sure! It's one of the last 45s I ever purchased. From 1980 I love it completely. It's enough to make a grown mean cry. That's exactly how I feel about my wife.
I love CCB.. Check out Couldn't Get IT Right by the band,
This is a Beautiful Song, always loved it , means alot to me.
Awesome! You should check out Couldn't Get it Right by Climax Blues Band!
I’m a happily single woman but this song always makes me rethink my solo status. 😂 One of the most beautiful love songs ever!
❤❤❤❤ thank you for doing that song. It is one of my all time favorites.
Their other big American hit was a few years before this one, it was called Couldn't Get It Right and it is completely different than this song, it is more like you would expect them to sound like from the name of the band.
