Yeah, I'm not a fan of the style of the Luther Vandross/Mariah Carey one. I generally don't like it when singers beat a song to death with runs and improvisation. I usually like a simple straightforward singing style. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie sound like they are singing together which isn't the feeling I get from the remake.
I'm 66 years old and this music we had was memories. I suffer from Depression and much more and to hear this music does help. U can get lost in it. My friend we all need to pray for one another. I wish there were more people like you, To be honest and not afraid to share feelings.
I used work security for Lionel in Vegas and this song was the best part of the show. The whole crowd sings Diana Ross part. Worked over 150 shows, every single one, the fans knew the lyrics
Diana's voice could a grown man cry...I've never seen her sing a song when she wasn't smiling! I love that woman, one of my favourite divas! BTW this was the original and they performed this at the Academy Awards because although the movie wasn't that special, THE SONG was nominated and MADE the movie and tear-jerker!
When I saw his face as soon as he heard Lionel Ritchie brought such a smile to my face. It's that feeling that no other thing in the world can do. MUSIC
I just loving your reactions to the songs I love from the decades I've lived. I'm 69 years old and I watch at least one of your reactions every evening to put a smile on my face. You are a beautiful young man. So glad you have found music that brings you joy!
My friend nannied for her twenty years ago in the US... She could tell you a very different story! We all have different sides, Diana, like all of us wear the face we want the world to see but behind closed doors the true character shows!!
Before I had ever seen the music video, I went to a house party in Japan, and heard two very talented singers just serenade the room with this song completely off the cuff. I'll never forget it....
Simple and pure voices telling a story. No vocal fireworks needed, just two people getting a story out with passion. The other version, while beautiful, was to showcase how beautiful their individual voices were and how they sounded together. Not saying I didn't like it, they just each had different visions. I'm an old fashioned girl, I like the story.
That’s my baby Diana and for those who don’t know they recorded it separately. Diana is a very prompt performer and she said Lionel was so late at the recording session like 4 hours she did her part and left lol.
this song is also endless, it is amazing, i remember this when i was young,and i never forget it,and no matter how many times i hear it, it is still the same feelings as the first time,timeless, priceless, endless,amazingness everytime, two wonderful singers, and please please please do diana ross, ""touch me in the morning"", and also ""aint no mountain high enough""" and ""remember me"" and any other songs from that amazing lady, i fell in love with her as a child, and i love her now, one of the best singers this world has produced,
There is just no other version as far as I'm concerned. They are performing here at the Oscars in 1982 where it was nominated for best song. Now this is not the real live version. This is the recording playing over their performance that someone posted some years ago on RUclips. The "real" one is also available and even better. If you look closely you will see the discrepancy. Best song ever!❤❤❤
Lionel Richie wrote the song! The genius Richie!! This is first class here. This was music that everyone connected to. An all time great song sung by two all time greats.
So glad you did that song! One of my all time favorite duets. PLEASE review Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott. It is right up your alley. You won't be sorry😀❤
G S a few friends and I went to see this on graduation night. Such a beautiful song. Not so much the movie. Does everyone remember the Controversy this movie had? Most parents then would not of been very happy with there kids seeing it. Today it wouldn’t be considered terrible. I remember being shocked!
G S - I saw that film and named my daughter after Brooke Shield's character in the film "Jade". Her Dad had sent me a "Dear John" letter when I was 8 month's pregnant with her, it took me year's to get on with my life, and he will alway's be in my heart. ❤️.... She's 36 yrs old now.
Endless Love with Lionel & Diana just might be the best love song of all time. I went to a Lionel Richie concert in the early 80’s where he sung that and they had a screen come up with Diana singing her part. It was amazing.
True reaction there. THANKS 4 the memories. That was a soundtrack from the movie Endless Love. It was great when you're a teenager. Thanks again from NORTH CAROLINA 🇺🇸💛👍🎧🎵🎶
This was the original and best version! Just my opinion. I remember listening to this record over and over and over….I loooooovvve that you’re so young and that you’re finding this “old” music and appreciate it so much too. Really warms my heart.
This song was our wedding song in 1982. Wife has been in the hospital since xmas eve 2019 with surgery complications. And because of this covid 19 virus I have not seen her in 3 months. So this song brings back better memories for me. Thanks
Lionel can write and sing those ballads, can't he? So much talent in one person. Yeah, this song was the soundtrack for the movie they were showing clips of. "Truly" "Hello" "Lady" (that he wrote for Kenny Rogers that you also reacted to) "Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady", "Easy Like a Sunday Morning"... so many!
This brought tears to my eyes I walked down the aisle to this song and it still makes me cry... I love that you can appreciate the music from the past ....I’m 58 years old and ever since I was a little girl I have loved music and I was listening to old music when I was little so you can imagine The library that I have ...but some of these songs I have not heard in a while so thank you!
Song was written by Lionel Richie for the soundtrack to the 1981 movie of the same name. I was in 7th Grade that year and it seemed to always be slow dance song that was always played at school dances. LOL!
Aww, you have an old soul. Lionel Richie wrote this song. Like you say, both amazing but Lionel & Diana were the original!! I mean they were magic together. Her voice is like silk!!! This one right here though-my heart... Lionel Richie is literally one of the best songwriters of our time PERIOD!!. He dominated the charts in the 80s...
This was the original. 1981 and written by Lionel Richie. This was a huge song when I was a kid and a #1 hit for nine weeks. It's from the movie Endless Love that came out that year.
James, I love your reactions. You are so obviously reacting honestly - it makes me feel so good to hear the music from my teenage years again, and to see someone your age, reacting positively to these songs, is very special to me.
Not true... they were both in the studio together. Diana had just done two shows in Vegas and took a red eye to LA to meet Lionel and record this classic. You might be confusing this with Patti LaBelle and Michael Mcdonald's "On my own" which they recorded seperately.
@@anthonyyusef5897 no guys both of you sort of got it wrong. This was recorded together in a studio in Reno Nevada not LA. And Lionel was late for the recording irritating Diana who had yes done two shows in Vegas that day.
You telling us about finally finding music that touched your soul through these reactions, that right there warmed my heart and put a smile on my face, seeing what the power of music can do to a person, like you've grown and your mind and soul kinda expanded through all the music that you've found, really cool to see :)
Lionel Richie is truly (no pun intended 🙂) one of the greatest songwriters this country has ever produced. I'm glad this is the version I grew up with because its the only one as far as I'm concerned. You can't top perfection.
JB, you took me on a wonderful journey with just your facial expressions. ....and the stereo was on. lol Thanks for your review of this song. Take care and be well. Peace.
This song always gets me in the feels since it reminds me of my former fiance and soul mate. She was taken away at a young age from a brain tumor. Oh what could have been. RIP Liz.
This is the original and the only one as far as I’m concerned
AussieGirl same
agree. I've never even heard the other version
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the style of the Luther Vandross/Mariah Carey one. I generally don't like it when singers beat a song to death with runs and improvisation. I usually like a simple straightforward singing style. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie sound like they are singing together which isn't the feeling I get from the remake.
Absolutely right!!
So true!! No one can beat this version!!
This was the original and the best version of the song. I won’t listen to any other.
indeed. Plus I have an allergy to Mariah Carey music. 😁
This is the original version. So beautiful the words & how their voices mesh. No one does this song justice like they can!
I'm 66 years old and this music we had was memories. I suffer from Depression and much more and to hear this music does help. U can get lost in it. My friend we all need to pray for one another. I wish there were more people like you, To be honest and not afraid to
share feelings.
A truly beautiful love song. We just don't hear anything like this anymore.
Lionel Richie is a great song writer and performer
I used work security for Lionel in Vegas and this song was the best part of the show. The whole crowd sings Diana Ross part. Worked over 150 shows, every single one, the fans knew the lyrics
Diana Ross has so many great songs, but you have to check out Touch Me In The Morning.
Studio version so you can hear the great arrangement.
And the theme from Mahogany
So true. I was a teen falling in love every week when these songs came out. Absolute heart breakers.
Diana Ross is such a fine woman. She still looks amazing to this day
This is the original version.
Oh Lionel can sing to me, anytime
I'm glad you finally listened to this. Lionel Richie wrote some of the most beautiful songs...
Diana's voice could a grown man cry...I've never seen her sing a song when she wasn't smiling! I love that woman, one of my favourite divas! BTW this was the original and they performed this at the Academy Awards because although the movie wasn't that special, THE SONG was nominated and MADE the movie and tear-jerker!
That's real music. The good ole days. 1981❤❤❤
Lionel Richie was the man, Diana will live forever as a legend
When I saw his face as soon as he heard Lionel Ritchie brought such a smile to my face. It's that feeling that no other thing in the world can do. MUSIC
Love your grandmother’s taste in music. I can see you have such a special bond with your grandparents. Love that! Stay safe!
Classic written by Lionel Ritche♥️♥️♥️
I just loving your reactions to the songs I love from the decades I've lived. I'm 69 years old and I watch at least one of your reactions every evening to put a smile on my face. You are a beautiful young man. So glad you have found music that brings you joy!
THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY ORIGINAL AND THE ONLY ONE THAT EXISTS ITS EASILY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS OF ALL TIME
Lionel Richie is the music to play for a romantic evening. ❤
Bill Withers passed away this week. He's best known for the song "Lean On Me" (the best song ever IMO). Maybe you could listen some of him.
Seriously? This should've made the news but was probably overshadowed by Covid coverage. He will be missed. Ain't No Sunshine
I sent JB a whole list of Bill Withers - loved his music. RIP.
He passed away on my birthday. My heart sank
This was magic back in the day. Beautiful song and beautifully done.
This is one of the best reaction channels. Keep doing your thing bro.
I love Diana Ross! Met her several times and she is such a nice person, regardless of what the media says.
My friend nannied for her twenty years ago in the US... She could tell you a very different story! We all have different sides, Diana, like all of us wear the face we want the world to see but behind closed doors the true character shows!!

Yeah this is the original and best. Two of the all time greats on the stage together...so great.
All of these young kids on American Idol, auditioning in front of him ...need to RECOGNIZE the GREATNESS...that is LIONEL RICHIE....LEGEND.
Yes!!! The real version.
The best, their voices and the performance. And Jesus, how gorgeous was Diana? What a beautiful woman.
Love your reactions Bro 👌👌 Diana is soooo beautiful here , and the brilliant Lionel Ritchie's let's her shine so brightly 🙌🙌🙌
One of the greatest love songs ever! Thank you for reacting to it. I adore your channel and you!!
That’s my baby Diana and for those who don’t know they recorded it separately. Diana is a very prompt performer and she said Lionel was so late at the recording session like 4 hours she did her part and left lol.
I remember seeing the movie this song came out of it starred Brooke Shields who I thought was the most beautiful woman at the time 😍
myristicanz she still is. I’m glad to see what a great lady and mother she seems to be
this song is also endless, it is amazing, i remember this when i was young,and i never forget it,and no matter how many times i hear it, it is still the same feelings as the first time,timeless, priceless, endless,amazingness everytime, two wonderful singers, and please please please do diana ross, ""touch me in the morning"", and also ""aint no mountain high enough""" and ""remember me"" and any other songs from that amazing lady, i fell in love with her as a child, and i love her now, one of the best singers this world has produced,
Best love song ever ❤
This was my first dance at my wedding reception,that wasn't yesterday but lovely memories of my late husband
I'm glad that you love the old music. This was a wonderful song. Diana was perfectly paired up with Lionel, who's voice is like silk.
In my personal opinion this is the best duet ever
I agree!
This is music. Nothing more to be said.
The original and the BEST!
So great. The best version hands down
This was my wedding waltz❤️ it is a joy to watch your reaction👌
I'd forgotten how beautiful this song is. She can sing!
Another great duet back then with the song With You I'm Born Again by Billy Preston and Syreeta.
This!!!!
Incredible song
INDEED
Syreeta and Billy Preston did a marvelous duet with That song. The voices just oozed perfection
You know singers are elite when the live version is better than the studio version.
We had music!! No long hours in front of TV nor internet.
I love his fascination with love and beauty.
There is just no other version as far as I'm concerned. They are performing here at the Oscars in 1982 where it was nominated for best song. Now this is not the real live version. This is the recording playing over their performance that someone posted some years ago on RUclips. The "real" one is also available and even better. If you look closely you will see the discrepancy. Best song ever!❤❤❤
Gotta love Lionel Richie 💯
Lionel Richie wrote the song! The genius Richie!! This is first class here. This was music that everyone connected to. An all time great song sung by two all time greats.
So glad you did that song! One of my all time favorite duets. PLEASE review Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott. It is right up your alley. You won't be sorry😀❤
Yes!!!
The clips are from the movie Endless Love starring Brooke Shields.
G S a few friends and I went to see this on graduation night. Such a beautiful song. Not so much the movie. Does everyone remember the Controversy this movie had? Most parents then would not of been very happy with there kids seeing it. Today it wouldn’t be considered terrible. I remember being shocked!
No. I cant say I do. I was really little when the movie came out.
G S - I saw that film and named my daughter after Brooke Shield's character in the film "Jade". Her Dad had sent me a "Dear John" letter when I was 8 month's pregnant with her, it took me year's to get on with my life, and he will alway's be in my heart. ❤️.... She's 36 yrs old now.
This songs reminds me of my first crush Christie when I was 6. That was 38 years ago.
Endless Love with Lionel & Diana just might be the best love song of all time. I went to a Lionel Richie concert in the early 80’s where he sung that and they had a screen come up with Diana singing her part. It was amazing.
True reaction there. THANKS 4 the memories. That was a soundtrack from the movie Endless Love. It was great when you're a teenager. Thanks again from NORTH CAROLINA 🇺🇸💛👍🎧🎵🎶
This is the original. Love this song! The clips you saw were from the movie of the same name.
I love your sweet reaction to one of the best love songs of all time! ❤️
The best wedding song ever!
This is the original and best
Ms. Ross,wow .The voice is like candy.Lionel your voice is fine wine .Love, love.
Each version of this song they are both so beautiful.
Yesss! This is the one. I love them both so much. As soon as Diana opened her mouth... I got chills.
Music from the past, so happy I grew up with such a variety of amazing talent :) Thank you for your reaction
This was the original and best version! Just my opinion. I remember listening to this record over and over and over….I loooooovvve that you’re so young and that you’re finding this “old” music and appreciate it so much too. Really warms my heart.
Have a listen to Lionel Richie singing 3 Times a Lady or Diana Ross with Touch Me In The Morning
Dani Lou yes! 3,times a lady for sure!’
There is nothing that compares to the old stuff. Much love.
A joy to watch your reaction when Ms Ross starts to sing ,both singers are pure class.
This song was our wedding song in 1982. Wife has been in the hospital since xmas eve 2019 with surgery complications. And because of this covid 19 virus I have not seen her in 3 months. So this song brings back better memories for me. Thanks
I remember this when it came out. There is only one word... enchanting.
That was awesome, no over singer it and harmonies on point
Lionel can write and sing those ballads, can't he? So much talent in one person. Yeah, this song was the soundtrack for the movie they were showing clips of. "Truly" "Hello" "Lady" (that he wrote for Kenny Rogers that you also reacted to) "Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady", "Easy Like a Sunday Morning"... so many!
I love this song. It takes me back years thank you xxx beautiful Never beat the old songs god bless you. Beautiful. Man
This brought tears to my eyes I walked down the aisle to this song and it still makes me cry... I love that you can appreciate the music from the past ....I’m 58 years old and ever since I was a little girl I have loved music and I was listening to old music when I was little so you can imagine The library that I have ...but some of these songs I have not heard in a while so thank you!
Timeless breathtakingly beautiful song
Cannot beat the original.
Such an amazing classic!! I just love your emotion, it makes me feel it for the song that much more❤️ Keep doing it!
Song was written by Lionel Richie for the soundtrack to the 1981 movie of the same name. I was in 7th Grade that year and it seemed to always be slow dance song that was always played at school dances. LOL!

Diana Ross and Lionel Richie Awesome
It so nice that we in the older generation left something nice for the kiddies!
Absolute perfection, and that is that.
It was written for the movie "Endless Love".
This was the original. 1981 and written by Lionel Richie. This was a huge song when I was a kid and a #1 hit for nine weeks. It's from the movie Endless Love that came out that year.
James, I love your reactions. You are so obviously reacting honestly - it makes me feel so good to hear the music from my teenage years again, and to see someone your age, reacting positively to these songs, is very special to me.
The Supremes was the first concert I ever went to. I think I was 17 or so. I was in lust with Diana Ross. I still think she's awesome.
You might also want to know that in the making if this song neither side ever met. One part was recorded in LA and the other part was recorded in NYC.
Not true... they were both in the studio together. Diana had just done two shows in Vegas and took a red eye to LA to meet Lionel and record this classic. You might be confusing this with Patti LaBelle and Michael Mcdonald's "On my own" which they recorded seperately.

This is one of my best.. ever.. no other versions can compare to this.. faboulose.. thnx for ur reaction man
Powerhouse couple right here. This here brings back such beautiful memories of my teenage years.
This one makes the heart RACE
Love your reaction bro..👍🏻 It is indeed a beautiful song
One of the top ten ballads ever recorded.
One of the best songs ever!!
MAJOR goosebumps. And love ends...
Lionel Richie is truly (no pun intended 🙂) one of the greatest songwriters this country has ever produced. I'm glad this is the version I grew up with because its the only one as far as I'm concerned. You can't top perfection.
React to "Just Once" by James Ingram; "Neither One of Us" by Gladys Knight.
JB, you took me on a wonderful journey with just your facial expressions. ....and the stereo was on. lol Thanks for your review of this song. Take care and be well. Peace.
This song always gets me in the feels since it reminds me of my former fiance and soul mate. She was taken away at a young age from a brain tumor. Oh what could have been. RIP Liz.
Your reactions are so refreshing JB!
