I'm not American,I'm Dutch, but I love this! What a wonderful collaboration with Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force band. One by one such beautiful voices which match so well with the voices of Home Free. The fact that Lee Greenwood remains the center of attention I think shows a lot of respect for this great singer. But Adam Rupp tops it off with his incredible beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds. He is inhuman.
I'm Canadian and I remember hearing that song played on local radio stations when it was new (yeah - I'm that old). Lee Greenwood sounds even better now and - as you said - the addition of the Singing Sergeants was genius. Any time Home Free collaborates with other singers (Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, Avi Kaplan among others), they're always respectful of them and ensure they're highlighted. Love your channel - keep being you!
Lee Greenwood wrote and recorded this song back in the 80's, it was one of his biggest hits. And you do realize there wasn't actually a drum, that was Home Free's Adam Rupp, one of the worlds greatest beatboxers.
Thank You for reacting to this video, I knew you'd like it. This one personally makes me smile every time I listen to it. Lee Greenwood who not only wrote this but made it famous, still has an amazing voice. And Adam Rupp was the only instrument used in this whole video, & I didn't know if you heard Adam at the very end of the song, he does a flyover with his voice as well. See you soon, take care & God bless. ❤️
I told you that this was an awesome rendition of this song. Home Free nailed it. Lee Greenwood nailed it. And so did the US Airforce Singing Sargent's. But for me, the one part that ALWAYS puts a lump in my throat and a tear in my eyes, is the very last chorus of God Bless the USA. Gets me every time.
It’s so good. Lee wrote the song in the 80’s and he still sounds great at 75! Home Free is great as usual and the Singing Sergeants were just great. This was during Covid so they weren’t even together. It was great! Home Free did do this song on their own at the foot of Mt. Rushmore and it’s beautiful too.
This was done during quarantine and Home Free released two videos a month so we all had something to look forward to. These harmonies are just stunning!
Lee was either 77 or 78 when this was recorded in June 2020. The release date was July 3rd,2020....just in time for the 4th !!!! You should react to some of their other collabs. Sub b request here... Home Free & Don McLean with the 50th anniversary of his iconic song "American Pie". They released it on Feb 3rd, 2020 the 62nd anniversary of "the day the music died"...which was when a plane crash killed Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper & Buddy Holly in a snowstorm in Iowa on Feb 3rd, 1959....this is the song of my generation released Oct 24th, 1971. It's American Pie , Home Free & Don McLean. He specifically asked them to do it....who could turn that down?
@@therealmrjshow exactly !!! It's the best of all the cillabs they've done...next favorite would be One Voice with Billy Gilman and the with the late Kenny Rogers on a Christmas themed song " Children go where I send thee"...hold off on that one until closer to Thanksgiving & Christmas.
Lee Greenwood is the original singer and writer of this song,. They were thrilled to be able to collaborate with him. This was done during covid restrictions, so they still had to record where they were and were not able to come together. Lee Greenwood was, I believe, 78 when he recorded this with Home Free. The man still has chops. Wow the harmonies were out of this world!
What could be a better than Lee Greenwood, an American country legend, Home Free (legends in the making) and the Singing Sergeants, singing a fabulous song that honors America? This is awesome and Adam's beat boxing/vocal percussion was wonderful and I especially loved the jet "flyover" effect he did at the very end. There are no egos in Home Free. When they have featured performers, they always give them respect and room to shine instead of trying to grab the lime light all for themselves. That's one reason they make such extraordinary music. I really love the sound of Home Free because they are an all male group but in this collaboration I agree that the female voices added and extra dimension. Great reaction!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing song. Lee Greenwood, The Singing Sergeants and Home Free really did great job with the song. I listen to it pretty often because this makes me feel really good everytime.
First time finding your channel, and first off thank you for your service. This is such a great and patriotic song. HF never fails to deliver. That being said a song I think would mean alot is still ain't made it home by Casey Donahew. A song for our brave soldiers who have served and are serving. Keep up the great work.
The guy behind the console is Darren Rust who has been part of the of the Home Free organization a while now is the one who convinced Lee to really go for it giving the best performance of this song ever.
You'd be surprised how many reactors have never heard of Lee Greenwood or this song. It surprises the hell out of me when one of them says they've never heard this song before. I'm like "Have you never been to a July 4th celebration? It's played at the finale of damn near every fireworks show,"
Kathy here - just found your channel. Lee Greenwood wrote this is the 80. Then, the first baseball game after 9/11, he was asked to sing this before the National Anthem. Then you add in Home Free and the US Choir, it is an amazing rendition. Lee Greenwood still has his chops on this one! Great review and loved your appreciation for everyone in the video. And thank you for your service.
It’s no surprise to me anymore that you love music. It makes me happy that you decided to start your own channel. I’m so glad that I found you to hear your opinion!
I just found your channel. Thank you for your service, from a US Army 'career spouse', and also Navy veteran! Love your reactions! I'm a 'Home Fry'. They are an amazing group!! I know you will enjoy your Home Free journey!!
When you get a chance I think you’ll really like a remake (upgrade) of a 1970s Doobie Brothers hit, Listen to the Music. Adam Rupp, the beat boxer goes nuts.
There's another version and video of this song Home Free did several years ago with just them when Chris Rupp (Adam the beatboxer's brother) was still with the band.
No I'm not particularly a home free fan, it's not because they're not amazingly talented it's just because I'm really not into country music. I'm more Pentatonix girl! Lol I remember when this song came out, I think it was during Gulf war part 1 but I could be wrong on that because I can't remember exactly. If anybody noticed the soldier that first sang that had the incredible voice, he sang harmony with home Free and Lee greenwood through out the song. Even when everybody else was doing the ah for finale, he was singing with the rest of the group. He had an amazing voice that guy should have had a record contract. I'm from a very strong military and I give thanks to my cousin who just got out of the military after 13 years and serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a special shout-out to my grandfather and my uncle who both served in world war II. Both men came home but not all of them came home I guess you can say and they ended up drinking themselves to death because of everything they had to do and see over there. And a group that is often forgotten I want to give a particular thought to the families of the people that serve. Cuz it's not easy living the life they have to live either. Because believe me the family serve too.
The woman who sang "from Detroit down to Houston" - what a voice!

where you are from doesnt change good music!!!
It made you smile...I'm glad!
hush lol i dont smile hahahaa
Seriously! I was like, he smiled! I saw it! Thank you for sharing it with us. You are actually one of the better reactors. Keep it real.
Lee had said for years that he wanted to be free to rif on this but never could. He loved this team up!

PATRIOTIC CHILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
Lee Greenwood, 1984 that’s when I first heard this song and it blew me away.
This was done during quarantine and Home Free released two videos a month so we all had something to look forward to. These harmonies are just stunning!
they probably got a lot of fans during quarantine!

i remember that crash from that movie La Bamba! and you would have to be crazy to turn that down!!

This is a great example of taking an excellent song, and with the right people, it turns into a masterpiece.
God bless Home Free and their beautiful music ... it always makes my day !

Oh yes, I can now hear your comments thru the whole song, Mr. J!! Thanks so much for a great reaction to one the guys really enjoyed making!! 👍

Absolutely beautiful! So emotional!
I was blessed to see Lee preform this while I was in the Army

Makes me cry every single time I hear it. God Bless our Veterans and the USA. You really got "animated" with this reaction.... loved that part!!!
LOVE your reaction! It was very close to mine. 😊 Thank you so much for your service! You are so very appreciated!
This is such an awesome song! Lee Greenwood is an icon. Getting together with Home Free and Airforce singers was just so awesome! Love your reaction!

1984.
It’s no surprise to me anymore that you love music. It makes me happy that you decided to start your own channel. I’m so glad that I found you to hear your opinion!
I like the fly over at the end thanks to Adam Rupp.
Lee,the first singer,is 77 yrs old here.He sounds better than when he recorded it in 1984.
I prefer this A Capella version over the original with musical instruments.
yeah its really good!
That was AMAZING
Did you hear ADAM RUPP, the beat-boxer do the sound of the jets flying by?
I'm a sucker for a Patriotic song, but I have to agree with you on that Harmony!! Like a well oiled machine!! Impressive vibes aplenty!!!
yeah that harmony when the female voices came in just added so much depth to it!! thanks for watching!!
My whole life has been music and the military. Home Free is top-tier.
well Welcome!!! Let me know if you have a request darlin!
@@therealmrjshowAdam Rupp has some spectacular live "drum" solo stuff out there. 2015 version is my favorite and he's only gotten better.
I just found your channel. Thank you for your service, from a US Army 'career spouse', and also Navy veteran!
Love your reactions! I'm a 'Home Fry'. They are an amazing group!! I know you will enjoy your Home Free journey!!

Never mind. I see you just posted it.😀

It’s an American Staple
Love this! Thank you ^_^
You are so welcome!
There's another version and video of this song Home Free did several years ago with just them when Chris Rupp (Adam the beatboxer's brother) was still with the band.

Thanks. 🍟🖤
Any time! Home Fry!
You smiled!!! Did you hear the Jet fly over by Adam???
sorry to see that you are sick get better ok
Did you hear Adam Rupp simulate the jets passing by at the end of the song?
