Hello Angela: Your ability to be moved to tears by music, lyrics, movies, etc. is not cause for embarrassment or shame. Empathy is not a fault, it is a superpower, and your viewers love you for it...as well they should. All the best to you , dear lady!
I had totally forgotten about this song.I haven't heard it in decades,but once I heard it again I remember it well.Thanks for reminding me of a song I used to listen to all the time and am very glad to hear again and it's definitely going on my play list.And,as for the crying,I used to cry every time I listened to it and I cried again now.I am a guy,but I'm not afraid to admit that,yes a song made me cry.Loved hearing it again and loved your reaction.
Tears are the sign of a soft heart, and that's a good thing. If this song doesn't touch a person's heart, there must not be a heart to touch. You have a heart that works the way it's supposed to work. Blessings to you.
My sister liked this song a few years after it came out. Little did I know, I would look back and remember this song when she died having her son back in 1981. She was little, and beautiful, she looked like Debra Padget. Needless to say, this song makes me so sad.
Me; 58 years old -240 lb weightlifter/ "tough guy" LOL. This song was on a K-Tel album I had when I was 11. Heard this song 2 weeks ago while on the beach in Dewey Beach, DE. and tears were rolling down my cheeks under my sunglasses. Crying now. Does it every time.
Oh, I remember this song. I had unfortunately forgotten all about Austin. I literally rediscovered him tonight....I heard one of his songs on SiriusXM.
Always loved this song, even though it's sad. Sung by the guy who was the vocalist for all of the Scooby Doo songs, as well as his own hit, "Something's Wrong With Me."
Wow, I'm surprised I don't recognize this song - or maybe it's just been so long that I forgot having heard it. Super catchy and incongruously upbeat given the lyrics. Apparently, the song was first recorded and made a hit by country artist Dickey Lee, then later the same year (1975) Austin Roberts recorded his version, which was also a hit. Fun fact about Austin Roberts: he had songs featured in the old Scooby-Doo cartoon series, including the theme song.
I’m going to look up that version. Austin Robert’s voice sounds like the version I knew but the word “Crazy” used in the part about the party seems wrong to me. I always thought it said Birthday party.
Somehow I knew at the onset that you'd cry, because I did every time for more than four decades. I listen to the song every once in a while for it's on my playlists at home and in the car.
Day one listen to me honey day one you gave the greatest reaction to a song I've ever heard so beautiful so emotional I cry every time I hear this song also I've listened to a couple hundred reactions and this is number one God what a great reaction by you so genuine so pristine so pure you're terrific
The thing about 70's ballads, if the first two verses sound idyllic then the third one's probably going to hit you in the guts with a sledgehammer. Just a little heads up
I was compelled to leave a message this time because of you and your reaction! The way you reacted at the end of this song really got to me! If only everyone could be so transparent and open about how they feel inside, this life and world would be a better place! Maybe one day people will see the error of their ways and be the way their supposed to! Im a real idealist, and Im still hoping that you'll play Lost In Music by Sister Sledge with the beautiful Joni Sledge singing lead! Goodbye!
This song is a favorite that I really can't forget from back in the day. Austin Roberts never really made it big but the few good song he put out were really good, thanks for reminding me of the old days when a song had real meaning. Oh did you ever check out Collin Raye's One Boy, One Girl? Think you'll love it. Listen to it privately if you like but please don't pass it up.. It will bring the biggest skill to your face!
I think anyone who requests a sad song for you should put a tearjerker warning on it! This really is unfair to take a lady that's emotional about certain kinds of songs and request the saddest one they can come up with and not warn her. This one is a lot like "Honey" in that it depicts a widower who's remembering back on his life with his loved one after she dies. Tearjerkers used to be very popular and always did well on the charts.
Great reaction! In honor and remembrance of Olivia Newton-John, I'd like to see you react to "Country" (Pre-Grease) Olivia...how about "Please Mr, Please"?
Thanks for the reaction. I just knew the german version before, which (now) obviously was a cover. Both versions going straight to the heart. The story gets me every time.
Like life sometimes this song throws you a curveball. I kind of remembered the song & a few seconds into it I knew what was coming. Been a while since I've heard it.
I dk if u still respond to this but there may be a playlist with five of his incredible songs you just gotta hear. May be on my page. I make no money. Only a life long fan
Hello Angela, here’s a live BeeGees performance worthy (IMHO) of one of your usual honest and genuine reactions that your followers enjoy so much: Still Waters, ruclips.net/video/hcbvJfzERss/видео.html
I'd forgotten about this one. The 70s were weird that way. Post 'Love Story,' music and movies became a little rife with tragic stories of dying young. ' Brian's Song,' 'Sunshine,' there were a lot of movies and lots of songs, too. The one that got me as a kid was 'Seasons in the Sun.' ugh. Anyway, I'm sorry that affected you so much. Art that elicits no reaction is not really doing its job. ♥️
Both of these, Rocky and Seasons in the Sun both made me cry when I just 5 years old. And I still can’t listen to either with out crying . There was also a song called Blind man in the bleachers. Another tear jerker.
At least this song is called "Rocky" and not "Austin". I hope it is fictional. But for decades this song has drawn a tear from me every time I hear it. Every single time.
Hi Angela, try cheering your self up again with this song by "The Cars - My Best Friend`s Girl" great music and good lyrics . im sure from many of your videos i have watched you will enjoy this one.
This guy: "I know what I want to do. I'm gonna write a song about a dude whose wife dies, and I will set it to a happy go lucky 70s gameshow theme tune."
Lol It is rough on the ears. It's "emotional" though so that's going to get noticed \ affect people. Thought I was way up on my 70s/80s but I've never heard this in my life. terrestrial radio, XM radio, nowhere.

She has a beautiful heart.
It's a powerful song because it evolves just like life, when death come unexpectedly.
I am a 54 year old man and this song still brings me to tears.
Its about life...the pain the joy,the surprises and how we react,maybe thats why I love 70s music...it is very personal and relatable!
Her reaction was beautiful. Makes me want to adopt her as my daughter. Very moving song and I cried in 1973 when I first heard it.

and remember this song when she died having her son back in 1981. She was
little, and beautiful, she looked like Debra Padget. Needless to say, this song makes
me so sad.
About 8 months after this Song was released, my Mother died of Cancer, so my Father was a Rocky. 48 yrs later, this Song still causes my Eyes to Leak
One of the biggest tearjerker songs of all time

Angela don’t ever feel bad about crying. You have a lovely, tender soul dear. 😊
I had the 45 single vinyl record of this song back in 1975 when it came out and no matter how many times I hear it, I get choked up.
Oh, I remember this song. I had unfortunately forgotten all about Austin. I literally rediscovered him tonight....I heard one of his songs on SiriusXM.
so far i have not found anyone else reaction to this song. your awesome, thank you
his story telling and emotion was wonderful. i had this record when i was 6 years old and cried then.
Wow... I haven't heard this song for a very loooonnnggg time. This song brings me to tears, too. You are not alone.
Always loved this song, even though it's sad. Sung by the guy who was the vocalist for all of the Scooby Doo songs, as well as his own hit, "Something's Wrong With Me."
Something's Wrong With Me is a sad and dramatic song also. How is this guy a two hit wonder?
"Something's Wrong With Me " out sold "Rocky " wherein "Rocky " is known worldwide charting at #22 in the UK 🇬🇧 and #9 on the billboard hot top 100

I think the 70's were the time for tearjerkers, Run Joey Run, Honey, shannon( I cry every time) Cats in the Cradle so many..
Somehow I knew at the onset that you'd cry, because I did every time for more than four decades. I listen to the song every once in a while for it's on my playlists at home and in the car.
Just found your channel your amazing you reactions to this song brought me to tears
Love your sincere empathy...honest reactions..very genuine reviews
You're so unique in this genre of reaction reviews...
Your face 💕🌹
This song is what’s called a tear jerker ~
Don't be ashamed to cry, there's thousands of songs that I've listened to that had me bawling
This is why you are my favourite. You have a huge fan in Australia
Day one listen to me honey day one you gave the greatest reaction to a song I've ever heard so beautiful so emotional I cry every time I hear this song also I've listened to a couple hundred reactions and this is number one God what a great reaction by you so genuine so pristine so pure you're terrific
This song makes me cry everytime I hear it
It’s ok Sweet Girl!!!! Music is there to make us feel!!!! Some make’s us Smile and some makes us cry!!!! That’s just how it is!!!!
The thing about 70's ballads, if the first two verses sound idyllic then the third one's probably going to hit you in the guts with a sledgehammer. Just a little heads up
Yep and this is the music I grew up on...maybe my view of the world is so jaded!
I cried just not just like the 1st time I heard this 😢❤️🤗❤️ in 1975
I remember this song, many years ago. 🥲
I was compelled to leave a message this time because of you and your reaction! The way you reacted at the end of this song really got to me! If only everyone could be so transparent and open about how they feel inside, this life and world would be a better place!

I'm adding this to the playlist. 😭❤
I didn't know either 😢
Plot twist!! 😂 Great song!

I agree it's not fair to her. They should do that at the very least.
The song was written by Ronald Johnson aka woody p snow
This is a beautiful song
Great reaction! In honor and remembrance of Olivia Newton-John, I'd like to see you react to "Country" (Pre-Grease) Olivia...how about "Please Mr, Please"?
Thanks for the reaction. I just knew the german version before, which (now) obviously was a cover. Both versions going straight to the heart. The story gets me every time.
Like life sometimes this song throws you a curveball. I kind of remembered the song & a few seconds into it I knew what was coming. Been a while since I've heard it.
i tell ya,,,,,some of those 70's songs were strange,,,,like captain and tenille singing about muskrats being in love
Could you possibly play “Run Joey Run” by David Geddes??
I dk if u still respond to this but there may be a playlist with five of his incredible songs you just gotta hear. May be on my page. I make no money. Only a life long fan
Holy smokes I haven’t heard this song in decades thanks
some songs just get to you,and that is how you know you're alive.
OMG your reaction says so much about you. Very nice reaction. I don't think this is based on a true story.
I remember the song , little did i know i would have to live it. :(
Sigh, don't worry, Angela. A guy with such a beautiful heart as Rocky will find someone else who needs him and his daughter. He will.
Dickey Lee's version on the country side just as good.
Hello Angela, here’s a live BeeGees performance worthy (IMHO) of one of your usual honest and genuine reactions that your followers enjoy so much:
Still Waters, ruclips.net/video/hcbvJfzERss/видео.html
I've got one for but you'll never react to it. But there's an old country song by Porter Wagoner. LITTLE BOYS PRAYER.
This is what we used to call bubble gum music.
Another sad one is honey by Bob goldsboro
if I never hear that song again , it would be a happy day🤐. can u digit?
Not sure if you’ve done any Rush. The Garden always brings me to tears. Last song on their last album.
Great song sad in parts was this song written by Austin and this a true story or written by someone else
In a way the song is true to life.. Death can happen at any age

Yes, songs can move us to tears. More like that, try Me & Little Andy by Dolly Parton or One Tin Soldier by Coven
how about Tom Petty- American girl , or Kansas- Hold On
Check out Yesterday When I was Young by Roy Clark
Hi Angela, try cheering your self up again with this song by "The Cars - My Best Friend`s Girl" great music and good lyrics . im sure from many of your videos i have watched you will enjoy this one.
DR HOOK DADY LITTLE GIRL
This guy: "I know what I want to do. I'm gonna write a song about a dude whose wife dies, and I will set it to a happy go lucky 70s gameshow theme tune."
Of course just like afternoon delight....this was top 40 stuff for me growing up!
Please listen to Your side of the bed by Little Big Town. Thank You
Have you heard the snog Honey by Bobby Gosbuge.
I don't know the song,i'm only 22...All i know is the word"I LOVE YOU ANGELA"..,MY SECOND LADY..You cry again my love..
Angela have you reacted to Patti LaBelle On My Own. ?????
I never listen to the word... just to the chorus. Way better
Good Grief....I've walked home just to get away from this song.....side C on a 45rpm.
The song sucks, straight up. And it's from my era - I'm 59 - so there.
Lol It is rough on the ears. It's "emotional" though so that's going to get noticed \ affect people. Thought I was way up on my 70s/80s but I've never heard this in my life. terrestrial radio, XM radio, nowhere.
terrible song
