"Shake You Down" By Gregory Abbott Reached #1 Billboard Hot 100 in 1987.
Ye, I remember.
number one, no wonder I remember this song.
Another wonderful R&B artist from the 80s is Terence Trent D'Arby, aka Sananda Maitreya. He has an amazing voice and overall sound.
You'll absolutely love him. J, I think "If You Let Me Stay" will be your groove and "Sign Your Name" will be Amber's jam! You won't be disappointed!
Terence also had 3 Grammy nominations and 1 win ...Very talented performer and artist.
“Wishing Well “and “Sign Your Name” are my two favorite songs of his.
YES!! TERRENCE TRENT DARBY❣️❣️ 😃👍
Yes Terence Trent D'Arby
Yes the 80’s had its own share of lady killing crooners Check out Jeffery Osborne-You Should be Mine, and Terrance Trent Darby Sign Your Name.
“Wishing Well” and “Sign Your Name” are two of my TTD favorites.
Ready for the World.. "Love you Down"
People don't realize that Abbott also played drums and keyboards and produced the entire album. No doubt about it this is a stone cold jam.
More 80’s R&B coming up:
Terrance Trent D’arby - Wishing Well
The System - Don’t Disturb This Groove
Oran “juice” Jones - The Rain
LeVert - Casanova
Keith Sweat - I Want Her
YES!! TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY❣️❣️👍😃
80's R&B can't be compared to anything else
Yes all this and then try some New Jack Swing from the early 90’s
So glad y'all finally got to this one. Now y'all need to do Luther Vandross, Terence Trent Darby, Brian McKnight, Johnny Gill, Babyface, Bell Biv Devoe, Montell Jordan, Tony! Toni! Toné!, PM Dawn, Keith Sweat, Levert, LSG, All-4-One, Color Me Badd, K-Ci & JoJo, Al B. Sure, Kemmy Lattimore, Az Yet.
Dudes coming with all the artists.
@JeremyWk
They reacted to "Here and Now" by Luther, four months ago.
Don't forget Eugene Wilde "Gotta get you home with me tonight"
James Ingram
@@LMmccallL57 Luther deserves a series or day all his own.
“Show and Tell” by Al Wilson is another song with buttery smooth vocals that are full of desperation and emotion.
I wish I could give this more than 1 like. I love Show and Tell by Al Wilson.
I had a box full of 45s as a kid and "Show & Tell" was one of them. I can only figure that my mom must have bought it because I know I didn't.
@@darkrider68 me too.
Great choice! Love that song!
Love that song!
Strange that he never went on to continued success. Such a great talent. Interesting he was a university professor before becoming a musician.
I remember an interview he did. All he wanted to do was one song. He wanted just enough to earn royalties for his lifetime. That's all he wanted to do. Teaching was/is his love.
@vanessalee6044 And Thank God for that. The music industry eats people up.
I am not sure if that is falsetto or he just has unbelievable range in his voice. He has so much control that it’s hard to tell. Either way, it’s smooth like butter.
I don't think they have reacted to Aaron Neville yet. I think Aaron's got my favorite falsetto
It’s head voice.
The “false” chords are being used, but they are breath-supported.
Some of us are natural tenor 1s. Check out After 7!!!😊
Jay,
If you want grit and rasp your man is Terence Trent D'Arby (aka Sananda Maitreya). His range is amazing from the deeper rasp, a falsetto and that mid range of such a sweet tone. He can and has sung everything from Sam Cooke to Wilson Pickett to James Brown and the Rolling Stones. Even though he has a very soulful voice he did not want to be categorized. He was a great songwriter often blending genres. You need to react to his live 1995 London version of "Holding Onto You." It's a mind blowing vocal tour de force. Check it out!
Sign your name by Terrence Trent Darby. Magic
Yes, he can do it all. In 1999 TTD replaced Michael Hutchence of INXS at the opening of the Olympic Stadium in Sydney.
I also like TTD dance little sister.
Yes!! He was a great Singer, and definitely a Ladies Man! This song was huge
He had the looks and the voice - his career could have rivaled Luther's - strange how things don't happen sometimes.
Loved this song and he had an amazing voice, but I'd pump the braked on rivaling Luther... He continued to record after this, but never had another major hit. He went back to teaching at Berkley while recording and raising his son.
80's R&B. Nothing like it.
This is an 80s CLASSIC‼️As soon as his vocals drop it makes you stop and pay attention. Gregory SINGS THIS SONG DOWN.
As a metal head with pop tendencies, I can say, without a doubt, that this song is simply AMAZING!! This is a deserted island song for me. There’s absolutely no denying the greatness of this song.
This song was very popular and smooth as butter. "Let it Whip" by the Dazz Band would rock the youtube.
And Dazz by Brick.
Love him & his voice.
We need some more Luther Vandroes...( A House Is Not A Home ) live at the awards..you will love it.
My mom used to have this back in the day lol The whole household used to sing along with this ..I love it 🥰
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, indeed! 😂
He was a school teacher when he came out with this song.
Married to Freda Payne ("Band of Gold") in the 70's.
THE 80'S ROCKS
awwwwwwwww I love what Jay said about you Amber! Sweetness overload!!
Love love love his voice!! Check out Jeffrey Osborne, he has a similar voice and soul... His song "On The Wings of Love" is so beautiful and powerful!! 🕊️💗
Yes!
The "Woo-Woo" Song is a great jam too, especially since his baby girl (at the time) inspired him to write the song
@@KathySandru most certainly yes!! Great song too! Such a jam! :)
Also Love Ballad from when he was lead singer of the group LTD.
Fond of Jeffrey Osborne’s - Stay With Me Tonight
Omg, I could not keep quiet watching this!!! My kids asked me what I'm laughing about and I just said "Rob Squad is reacting to a song I absolutely LOVE and they are absolutely LOVIN' it and everything is SOOOOO delightful!!!" Seriously y'all, my cheeks hurt from grinning so much! 🥰
He was a college professor at this time and wanted to give music 1 more try before giving it up…then he released this BANGER!!❤
This was one of those hidden gems that snuck into the #1 position for 1 week in January 1987. 😎
That “oh, well oh, well” part! Unforgettable!✌🏻
If you liked Gregory Abbott, you should check out Jon Secada. Angel shows off his vocals, but he had a bunch of hits. He got his break as a back up singer for Gloria Estefan...who if you have not done a reaction on, you should for female Friday. Great stuff!
most definitely...one of my favourite singers of all time.
He stirs up some serious emotions, ayeee!
His eyes though 💕
I saw the name and thought "The governor of Texas is a recording artist?" Well, turns out no, just the same name. This one is new to me. Very smooth. Beautiful.
Great choice! This song was played like crazy back in the day and it is still a great vibe ♥️
He is an amazing singer... he was also a medical doctor... he didn't have much time for both so he picked medicine
Love his voice and his beautiful eyes.
Yes, I've always loved this one. He is so smooth.
Smooth 80's vibe - the memories come flooding back 🙂💛🎵
Absolute 80's classic. Still in a lot of my playlists and everyone that hears it loves it, including my son and his friends. It doesn't get much better than this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another one to check out is Dan Hill and his song “Sometimes when we touch” or “Can’t we Try” both are great songs
Such a range, going from that growl to that falsetto but always loved this song. Thank you!
His mother was from Antigua in the Caribbean, that's where got those crazy green eyes. Such a lovely sensuous sound, always hits me in my ❤️.
His mother was from Venezuela, his father from Antigua.
He is smooth. You guys doing it again, bringing back memories. Awesome
I miss the R&B from the 80s and 90s. I remember this man being really soothing. Thanks for the way back moment. Y’all need to check out Sade , songs like Smooth Operator, Sweetest Taboo, there are so many. She is fantastic!
Wow - look at the treasure that you guys dug up! It's been a while - but still love, love, LOVE this song. Hugs from Canada!
Jeffrey Osborne originally with the R&B group LTD (Back In Love Again) then solo...You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song), On The Wings Of Love. He has an amazing voice.
Jeffrey- Greatest love of all
Fan-flipping-tastic! Perfect late 80's R&B BANGER!
Please listen to Karyn White for more late 80's R&B flavor: "Secret Rendezvous", "The Way You Love Me"", and "Superwoman".
Why someone with such talent didn't do much else, is way beyond me.
Sometimes it's not up to the talent. Especially with this type of pop music, if you don't have a major label to promote you and a songwriting team to help you craft a hit, just being a talented performer doesn't mean anything. Gregory did continue to make music on-and-off after this but mostly on smaller labels including his own.
@@frozenlake1215 He also broke during the time when music was going to rap. Lot of R&B artists got lost in that shuffle
Yep, Timing and Luck count as much as talent.
@@frozenlake1215 Yeah, this was kind of the tail end of the Jeffrey Osborn, James Ingram, Atlantic Star (plus any duet featuring Peabo Bryson, of course) era of R&B, I think. Maybe he just hit late. It shifted more to the female artists at that point.
He’s another singer that make you weak in the knees🤭
Know exactly where I was when I first heard this. Takes me back. Silky smooth voice.......
This is a slow dance classic from the 80s! So good!
One hit wonder but what a song! An instant classic loved by all.
One of my all time FAVORITES, even have this on vinyl! Some Must Hears are Anita Baker song SWEET LOVE, Jermaine Stewart song WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF and slightly more serious The Commodores song THE NIGHT SHIFT!!!
This song is absolutely underrated. One of my fave songs of all time. Thank you for reacting to this Rob Squad.
Not underated. This song went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100-that's not underated.
Gregory Abbott was a math teacher. His class dared him to write and record this song for a bet. The class won the bet. His song not only got published, it became a hit.(Just a lil history behind the man) He never recorded another song. This was it. 😂❤❤❤
bull he recoded 5 albums wtf you talking about
U so right lol (*❛‿❛)→ I'll prove it to you...@@gardenstateboss
AND the girls in the video were his students...AWESOME 80s throwback, and I'm a rock guy!!!
@@gardenstatebossbecause of the success, he recorded 5 albums...it's a true story
My favorite tune as ah youth growing up..🙏🏿 4 that info
I still love the hell out of this song. I don't remember him having another big hit like this one.
I remember when Gregory Abbott, Luther Vandross and Freddie Jackson hit the around the same time. My mom, aunts, grandmother, and great-grandmother were buying all the CDs. 😄
My brother has hazel/green eyes, and is about Gregory's complexion and can sing a little, too. The amount of times girls asked me if I thought he'd be interested in him....🙄
I have dark brown eyes...so dark, that when I was little and people complimented the shape and color, I'd also say that I black eyes. 😄
My mom said people would think I was talking about when you're hit in eye, and to say "dark brown" but I preferred black and made it known. 😄
Love this song by Gregory Abbott. Great voice and so easy on the eyes! But when are you guys going to discover TONY BENNETT? He is an iconic crooner and was Frank Sinatra's favorite singer. Y'all are missing out!
I don’t know how many years (decades) it’s been, but I just literally sang that song word for word to this video. That how big that song was back in the day.
Know it by heart all these years later
Wow I love this song and what a voice! So smooth. Aww thanks Rob for sharing your story of how you met Amber, so so sweet 🥰 ❤
Loved this song....he was considered a one hit wonder...but he was an awesome talent. Would love to hear you all react to Lisa Fischer "How can I ease the pain?" Another fabulous one hit wonder that actually earned a Grammy for it.
This is one of those jams that had heavy rotation on the radio back in the day, but I never bought a copy of it. I so hope you guys will one day react to Alexander O’Neal and his song “If You Were Here Tonight” .
This was his only Top 40 hit and it went to #1
in 1987.
Now, I haven’t heard this song in over 20 years, but I sure did sing along to every word! 😂
Yes I do like Gregory Abbott. I would love to recommend Freddie Jackson one song is Rock With Me Tonight. Please you won't be disappointed.
80s and 90s were gold for music pure gold - i was born in 1982 -- now i only listen to some hard bangin rap music.... but most music in general is CRAP -- but the 80s and 90s had it all gold in so many genres - pure heart
If you like great male voices of the eighties, you should consider Shalamar with lead singer Howard
Hewett. Their song "This is for the lover in you" or "Somewhere there's a love just for me" should really
impress you.
This song was released in August 1986, a couple of weeks after we were married and our daughter was born in January 1988. These are not coincidences.
Made it to #1 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1987.
@@jessieball6195🎻📺🛋🧸 my baby time memories when i was born
Thanks, for bringing this song back to my memory. This was my hard rock days, but I still appreciated all music. Perfect slow dance…
I was in 7th grade when this came out
I had a huge crush on Gregory Abbott and I remember my sister teasing me because she had already gotten into alternative music.... but. I didn't care, I still remember jumping off the couch to dance every time this played on MTV!!! Abbott was smooth! You both would probably also like the song "Captain of her Heart" by Double. Done around same time period. Sadly, Abbot:s song career did not take off as it should have and I don't think you will be able to find many more songs by him of this caliber.
Have always L O V E D this song❣️
♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️
I remember this song playing lots on the radio. Guy has a great voice!! Mind baffling he didn't make it big! His diction was great also. That's big with me. Must travel down the Luther Vandross rabbit hole
This song is still way better than almost everything put out today...35 years later
Awww, Rob, that's so sweet describing how you met your lady. I felt that way when I met my husband too
Oh yes! Love this song and for a fun fact his brother used to play on the show called Miami vice. His name was Philip Michael Thomas. I heard Gregory Abbott is a professor at a college now. He stopped singing.
@@alamc200 Yes that came out shortly after the song came out that they were related
Sorry but he is not related to Phillip Michael Thomas and Mr Abbott was a professor Before starting his musical career and is still active in music!
@@jackedwards7420 I'm sorry I heard he was. Then it is my mistake
Wow
@@jackedwards7420 But I have heard he does a lot of community service work and that he has produced some music. But that's the last I've heard. I haven't heard anything about him singing, at least not that I know of
Thank you so much for taking me back to a simpler time. Miss all these wonderful 80s songs. Love this song.
Singing wasn't his 1st career choice he was actually an English professor at the University of California-Berkeley His wife freed a pain was a singer who had a hit record back in The sixties call band of gold
Great take on an 80's R&B Gem...keep rockin' you beautiful, young Americans!
Might be interested to know that before Gregory's musical career, he was a professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley.
Jeffrey Osborne, You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song), is another MUST HEAR 80’s/90’s slow jam!
Ohhh how sweet it was love at first sight for Rob 🥰
No falsetto here my dear. Gregory can just sing. Great range. This was one of the greats.
My mom's favourite song from the late 80s when it was a big hit here in South Africa..very high smooth voice .
For more 80s R&B goodness, give a listen to The System's "Don't Disturb This Groove". It's romance level 100....
Now we're talking !I love this one !
Oh yeah man this song is really good
You are Loved, appreciated and blessed🤗🤗🔥
I have fond memories of this song. I believe it came out in 1986 and that’s the year my daughter was born and I remember listening to this song a lot. So I love this song, but I attach it to having my daughter.
To live in the 80s and not hearing this would've been unheard of 🤗.
Gregory is amazing! 'I'll Prove It To You' and 'I Got The Feelin' (It's Over)' are his other top ten hits!
The sensuality you two are feeling at his voice, i think in 9 months time, the rsr family will be one bigger🤣🤣🤣
Amber, you asked how you've missed so many great artists. I think it's because the radio stations don't play this kind of great music much anymore. They've forgotten about it. And the streaming services play what they think you want to hear based on what's popular and what you listen to. This stuff gets lost. I'll be honest, I forgot about this song and I loved it when it came out. Thank you and your fans for bringing great music back.
Also, Terence Trent D'arby is another fantastic singer to check out!
7th grade music class in Junior high this was my jam in the 80's. Damn such simple times
Without a doubt that was my favorite review you all did!! The fun you had was so great! I was smiling along with you!! 😊
This song just feeds my soul
What a take!
That "Oh well! oh well!" a classic!😀
Absolutely one of my all time favorite songs!!!!
That's funny you said when you said when you think of R&B you think of the 2000's. I Think of R & B as the 60's ESPECIALLY the 70's and 80's (some 90's!!! I'm Glad you 2 are getting acquainted with the Original R & B artists and their music and enjoying it ( I'm LOVING this for you 2!!)
I still come to YT to see this video and listen to this song!! Love it!!!
One of my friends said that Gregory Abbott looks like C. Thomas Howell in "Soul Man," and now I can't unsee it
One of my top 5 ever....this is simply musical honey. One of the smoothest sensual tunes period.
I’ve watched this video about ten times. I love watching him as he’s reminiscing about the moment he first saw his wife… ❤❤❤❤❤
Just a perfect vocal performance...
1985. I was 8 years old back then, and you could not stop hearing this song, it was so big.
Request music: Humble Pie, Thirty days in the hole.
