Yes, this updated version of Lee Greenwood's song is very beautiful and very patriotic and yes, besides Lee it features US soldiers and Home Free. Also note that Adam Rupp (Home Free's beatboxer) provides the percussion in this song and if you listen carefully you can hear him make the sound of a jet flyover right at the end.
The percussion is the vocal talent of Home Free's Adam Rupp, one of the best lin the business. Check out their Man of Constant Sorrow, and you'll hear him "play" his harmonica. They're a really enjoyable rabbit hole to go down.
I've seen a few different Reactors from other countries react to this same exact Version and Video each one of them had the same Reaction in the Beginning that the first Guy was Lee but thought that everyone else were Soldiers all Because the Title of the Video is Very misleading to me the wording makes it sound like A cover of god bless the usa done by a group of Soldiers When in Reality it's Lee Greenwood featuring Homefree and some US Soldiers
Lee Greenwood was 77 years old when he cut this video. He still has the pipes! Because he was working with such an accomplished group of singers, the Home Free guys encouraged him to stretch his vocal performance. That's where he did the key changes and all the runs and ad libs. I think it was awesome that they featured him in the song. Home free is quite generous that way.
Very much so. I recommend their video Home Away From Home Fishing and Fundraising. I think that one was their first in the Home Away From Home series. It's a great video with a wonderful for a good cause.
I'm a 'HomeFry' - a loyal fan of Home Free. They are good friends with Pentatonix; however, there are usually two camps - Home Free and Pentatonix. I'm a loyal HomeFry. I don't even listen to Pentatonix.
@@mcm0324 PTX, HF, and VP all have totally different 'sounds', so the overlap in their fan groups is very minimal. I rarely listen to either PTX or VP.
He's watched a few Home Free videos, not nearly enough! 😂 I'm glad he finally recognized/mentioned them in this. They're entirely too good to overlook. 😉🥰🥰🥰
I am proud to be an American even though I don't like every going on in our country. I love this song. This particular collaboration with the soldiers is amazing and beautiful!❤
During the pandemic, these people all got together in their separate towns and did this song , individually and a engineer spliced them together for this result ❤ Homefree and Lee Greenwood who wrote this catchy tune ! Plus the Army choir in assistants ❤🇺🇸🙏
Lee Greenwood and the Airforce singers were amazing. Home Free ALWAYS is. This song was produced during the Pandemic, which is why all of the cities are at the beginning of the song. In the beginning, when the cities were named, Chance from Home Free was in Los Angelos, the Airforce Choir was in Washington, D.C., Rob and Adam Rupp from Home Free were in Minneapolis, Austin from Home Free, and (I'm guessing) Lee Greenwood were in Nashville. This will always be an amazing, patriotic song for the US. However, you must give everyone participating in this amazing version (and their mixers) much credit because this was recorded during quarantine. In fact, Home Free did many songs when the world was in quarantine. This song is amazing, but the fact that it was recorded in four cities during quarantine makes it so much more amazing!
Lee Greenwood performed this song on a carrier in the Gulf during the Gulf War, at Christmas. The number of servicemen crying is something I'll never forget.
What a wonderful collaboration from Home Free 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.❤️ Home Free is the best a-cappella group.
Lee Greenwood wrote and recorded this song in 1984. This is Home Free with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force men and women. Tim is the bass. Lee Greenwood is now 80. I think this was recorded in 2020 during the pandemic.
I used to own a Country Western Bar here in Germany and my DJ always opened the evening with this beautiful song. It still grabs me and I get teary eyed. 🖤💖💛/💖🤍💙
Take Lee Greenwood, add 5 guys that go by the name of Home Free, then combine them with the United States Air Force Singing Sargeants and you have a wonderful mixture that's filled with beautiful voices and beautiful harmony!
This is an arrangement by Home Free and their producer Darren Rust featuring Lee Greenwood and the US Air Force singers. It was released on the Home Free youtube channel. It is Home Free providing the background music, sounds, and their beatboxer Adam Rupp.
I have seen too many recently using the FOX version of the video - their title only says "Lee Greenwood, US soldiers" - instead of the HF one or even the US Air Force Band's, which reduces views for HF. I think Orchard needs to get after FOX instead of the reactors it's been chasing lately.
Love this thank you for playing it. Never get tired of hearing it. Another good one that I can't remember you listening to is Toby Keith Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. The angry american
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸So blessed to be born and raised in a free country. My Dad is 89 years old and lives with me. He served in the Air Force for years. Signed up during the Korean War. He was born in 1933, just 1 of 12 children, in the coal camps in NW Virginia.. Lied at 17 to join the Air Force. (He was tired of being hungry, sleeping 6 to a bed and someone would always pee. They were always hungry😢, barefoot, EVEN WORSE, Etc…. So he joined. Now there is only Dad and 1 sister left… The baby brother of the family died July 4th. He has always made a good living for us kids and (my Mom), his wife … (If she were still here, they would have been married for over 60 years.) ❤🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 Thank you Dad for your service in the Air Force!
This is my favorite song, no matter what version that plays, but this one from Home Free, Lee Greenwood and the Air Force singers is the best version in my opinion.
Kabir - Home Free is a great group. Lee sounded great for 75! Home Free minus Lee and the soldiers had done the song earlier in front of Mt. Rushmore. Lee wanted to do it again. So he got together with Home Free and they enlisted the US Air Force Singing Sergeants (everyone in uniform). This was during Covid so they all gathered in different cities to do it. Adam (Home Free’s beatboxer) was doing drums and then a jet at the end. Incredible song! Thank you for doing it!🥰
Me too Friend! There was no war or conflict at the time. Lee just felt compelled to write and sing it. Amazing how one voice could Awaken the spirit of our Country. '87 I was in bootcamp and on Sundays you could leave your " house " ( Barracks) to attend Church. They would either play this song or sometimes a woman with an AMAZING voice would sing it. We sang along, I could never get thru it without choking up. It hit home just how BLESSED we are to be Americans. I cannot finish this post without whole heartedly thanking our Allies who served BRAVELY along side us over the years! ESPECIALLY after 9/11. When we where dropped to one knee from that terrorist blow, you stood beside us ! I thank you and Salute you all!
@johndalessandro6433 I was in bootcamp in 87 also. They didn't play that on Sundays though. My CCs (DIs but Navy) broke the rules and we could go back and nap after church and breakfast
The addition of Home Free and the U.S. Air Force band elevates the song to a whole new level. This version is also acapella. If you haven't heard of Home Free - dive down the rabbit hole. They sing covers, originals (2 of them are song writers) and almost every genre, including collaborations with legends such as Kenny Rogers, Don McLean and Alabama among others.
Adam Chance is also a song writer. He has written some with The Hound and The Fox the most recent being "Whistling Lad". He also writes some of his own material for his own channel.
It is remarkable that this song was released almost four decades ago and Lee Greenwood appears to have lost nothing of his voice. He is amazing! Pairing with Home Free was genius and, as a USAF Veteran, I am so proud of how these airmen have represented their country.
LEE GREENWOOD wrote GOD BLESS THE USA in 1984 and has been performing it at Baseball and Football games most often on the 4TH OF JULY - AMERICA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY. This version with HOME FREE also includes the United States Air Force Singing Sergeants. You noted "I GOT CHILLS" listening to this rendition. Well US AMERICANS GET CHILLS EVERY TIME WE HEAR THIS SONG. It is as dear to us as GOD BLESS AMERICA and THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!! In addition to CHILLS I get TEARS listening to these Patriotic songs and this one is no exception ........ 😄😍🥰😎
Stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., The Singing Sergeants is one of six musical ensembles from The United States Air Force Band ...
I love this version! I do get a bit annoyed when people don’t give credit to Home Free. This is their arrangement and video, yet everyone focuses on Lee Greenwood and watches Fox’s video instead of Home Free’s. Rant over 😅. Great reaction!
I sang this song too two soldiers returning from their tour of duty back when I was in kindergarten, beautiful song! Also check out the band Home Free that was also apart of this.
So this was a song from Home Free the acappella group that had previously covered this song but decided to do this special version where they managed to get Lee Greenwood, the writer and original performer of the song to do it with them. Then they also added the military singers on it as well making it even more special. Lee was the man that sang first...the 5 guys in plain clothes are the group Home Free and of course the soldiers in camo. This was also recorded during the pandemic which is why it was recorded in the various different locations and then edited together.
I'm proud to say that i've met Lee Greenwood. He is truly an All-American individual with a sense of humbleness about his stardom. A genuinely good person.
The guys NOT in uniform is Home Free, you are right!! Bass is lower than baritone. I don't care which version of this song I hear/watch, I get chills and tears!
This song has been around since Desert Storm. It was the theme song for millions of American Service People and citizens during this. Lee Greenwood is a fine artist and a Patriotic American.
Check out the drummer/percussionist, he is in a black t-shirt and literally plays the drums with his voice! He is 1 minute and 36 seconds into the video! You are right that it is Home Free, the band involved and the US AIR-FORCE is also singing with the group! I LOVE this music and how it was put together! BTW, Lee Greenwood is of course lead singer!
Kathy here - Lee Greenwood wrote this back in the 80's and was really great. Then, the first baseball game after 9/11, he was asked to sing it at the game. And then now, you have this mix of singers in this one, and I think it's the best version I have ever heard. Thanks for your reaction. And yes, it should say Home Free, featuring Lee Greenwood and the US Army Choir. And it is completely Acca Pello .
Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" has been popular since its release in 1984. It often is in the set list of songs to play on Independence Day. After 9/11, the song enjoyed a resurgence of popularity. The lyrics resonated deeply with Americans at the time.
Check out Home Free doing Ring of Fire or When a Man Loves a Woman if you want to hear the range and talent of Home Free - and so many more songs by them
I like & listen to both Pentatonix & Home Free. More specifically, I love watching new reactions to the same songs, certain songs that are my favorites. So I absolutely love seeing new reactions to Pentatonix' Hallelujah & The Prayer. And most or at least half of Home Free's catalogue. So my preference is definitely Home Free. But I absolutely love Pentatonix ' performance & arrangement of the 2 I mentioned. Sound of Silence & Bohemian Rhapsody by Pentatonix is good too. Home Free I recommend reacting to Man Of Constant Sorrow, Country Fied Pop, The Butts Remix Medley, Ring Of Fire, Hill Billy Bone, Folsom Prison Blues, Traveling Soldier, Honey I'm Good, Wake Me Up(?), May Day, Brothers In Arms, their collaboration with The Oakridge Boys "Elvira", & with Kenny Rogers "Children Go Where I send Thee".
This is actually a Home Free video feat. Lee and the U.S. Air Force band. You really should check out some more Home Free - they're incredible! Thanks. 🍟
I was really worried when I saw that you weren’t hearing the original version for your first listen. But I gotta say…they all did an AMAZING job! And I think having all the soldiers singing with him almost made it better (but I’m still gonna listen to the original alone in my car with the windows closed and the volume up). And I thought it was ironic when you said that a lot of good people have come from America. When the whole point of America is that we are people who come from everywhere. ☺️ Good video! God bless the USA. 🙏🏼🇺🇸🗽
Several years ago a dear friend of mine who was a disabled Marine, wanted to go see Lee Greenwood in concert. We were able to sit on the front row where he could be comfortable in his wheelchair which was covered in Marine stickers. When Lee sang this song as his encore he walked over to our side of the stage and saluted my friend. Unfortunately my friend was not able to salute him back. My friend has been gone for quite some time now but every time I hear this song I’m flooded with precious memories and of a gentleman who respected not only my friend but all servicemen and women.
That was truly beautiful! Thank you! I recommend that you try Geoff Castellucci for any of his solo work. He has a very low bass voice and a five octave range. He records all of the parts of a song and layers them together along with layering images of himself. He is immensely talented and is also a member of the acappella group Voice Play.
👍👍🇺🇸 Two thumbs up. I wish these guys and gals had sung the anthem at that USFL show just the other day. I heard it from the kitchen and think my ear hairs are still twitching.
Yes, this updated version of Lee Greenwood's song is very beautiful and very patriotic and yes, besides Lee it features US soldiers and Home Free. Also note that Adam Rupp (Home Free's beatboxer) provides the percussion in this song and if you listen carefully you can hear him make the sound of a jet flyover right at the end.
He cut off the end
@@dotwyness4110 Yes he did but you can find the song on YT and play it for yourself to hear it. It is worth it! ☺
The percussion is the vocal talent of Home Free's Adam Rupp, one of the best lin the business. Check out their Man of Constant Sorrow, and you'll hear him "play" his harmonica. They're a really enjoyable rabbit hole to go down.

They’re Airmen, not Soldiers.
I get goose bumps every time I hear Lee Greenwood sing this song, but adding Home Free & the soliders take it to another level.
This song never fails to give me chills, this especially was beautiful and so touching.
Lee Greenwood was 77 years old when he cut this video. He still has the pipes!

Wait, you’re not familiar with Home Free? You’ve got a deep rabbit hole to dive into. HF is very patriotic and supportive of Vets.
Very much so. I recommend their video Home Away From Home Fishing and Fundraising. I think that one was their first in the Home Away From Home series. It's a great video with a wonderful for a good cause.
You definitely have to watch more of them

You really need to listen to Home Free
It brings tears to my eyes eyes every time! Love love love this cover
It isnt a cover since the artist,Lee Greenwood,is the original singer. It's an update. :}
Those deep voices... goosebumps. Pure bass. This was really beautiful and obviously emotional for the singers.
Love Tim's bass voice representing his home state of Texas. No bass has a voice like his!
Lee Greenwood performed this song on a carrier in the Gulf during the Gulf War, at Christmas. The number of servicemen crying is something I'll never forget.
When I was in the military, this song gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes ❤

Great reaction ❤Homefree is my favorite accapela group. And the Air Force band had amazing voices and Lee Greenwood sounds Amazing still❤
If you haven't listened to much of Home Free, go back and watch more. You won't regret it. They did that entire performance a cappella.
Thank you Kabir🇺🇸💙🤍❤️
Amazing.
A Beautiful Song, I think you will enjoy this version.
That was truly beautiful! Thank you! I recommend that you try Geoff Castellucci for any of his solo work. He has a very low bass voice and a five octave range. He records all of the parts of a song and layers them together along with layering images of himself. He is immensely talented and is also a member of the acappella group Voice Play.
I'm a second generation combat veteran, I cried! Thank you Kabir!
They killed this❤🎉
Thank you and love love love your accent❤❤❤
Plus Home Free in this song also!
Home Free is an acapella group, they are AWESOME. You should check out their stuff
I’ve reacted to a few of their songs already, I really like them
heard it alot while I was in and coming back from desert storm.
I’m American. Say what you like but this song will make the toughest men here cry. Texas literally made me jump when he came in lol Dayummmmm
Thanks, buddy.
👍👍🇺🇸 Two thumbs up. I wish these guys and gals had sung the anthem at that USFL show just the other day. I heard it from the kitchen and think my ear hairs are still twitching.
Home Free are the best at harmonies! You picked a good video!
