Paul was from and lived in my hometown ( where I still live ) Meridian, Mississippi. He was a chill and regular dude when you would see him about and about town. 👍
Here’s a bit of trivia. I Go Crazy spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Survey In 1977-78. That was a record (no pun intended) for chart longevity at the time.
Still makes me cry to this day. I was 6 when this song was popular, and I remember how much I loved it back then. It's my favorite song ever recorded! This live version is cool, but I prefer the studio version. It's absolutely perfect!!!
This was one of the biggest hits of the late-70s, and for damn good reason: This is one of the greatest Pop songs, ballads and love songs of all-time. It is also one of my favorite songs of all-time, and I'm a Metalhead. Paul Davis' "I Go Crazy" is a rare song that transcends both time and genre. It never gets old and is so incredibly uplifting and inspiring. Please consider doing "Thank You For Being A Friend" by a colleague and friend of his named Andrew Gold. R.I.P. both of them.
I am a headbanger (chick) as well, and I second everything you wrote. I remember necking for hours to songs like this, but this one stands out. It moves me every single time, and not just because I wish for the day when I believe again that men are capable of this depth of emotion.
Paul Davis begged his studio to have this song presented to LOU RAWLS, who he thought would make it a huge success. Paul decided to record it by himself and it turned out to be a huge hit, the song peaked at #7 on March 18, 1978. I GO CRAZY spent 40 weeks on Billboard Hot 100 charts. Jamel, here are a few other nice listening songs by Paul Davis, 65'LOVE AFFAIR, DO RIGHT and SWEET LIFE. RIP PAUL, leaving us way too soon.
This song holds the Billboard record for the slowest-rising song of the 1970's to reach the Top Ten. It also held the record for the most weeks on the Hot 100 for the decade
Damn Jamel I haven't heard this song in a while. It's a tearjerker. Thanks for digging up this beautiful song. Now I'm picturing you watching Hallmark movies 😃
🎙️"I go crazy when I look in your eyes, I STILL go crazy 👀 Those of "Us" that have lost THEEE love of a LIFETIME know Paul's Lyrics hit us right in the HEART 💔
One of the most beautiful live songs ever made in my opinion. I remember singing this as I was growing up. Kinda gets you teary eyed. It’s simply beautiful. ❤️
Cool night! PLEASE. Rip paul! Great singer! This song reminds me of my ex many years ago. Still bring it all back when I hear this beautiful song! Love your video's!
You are all over the place today and that is one of the reasons I love watching you! I love all types of music and I appreciate you reacting to so many genres.
This song might be almost as sappy as a hallmark movie, but musically speaking it’s SO GOOD. So thanks for playing it! Always been a favorite ballad of mine.
You are my favorite. Love your reactions. Can immediately tell you're a romantic. And now we find out you watch Hallmark movies! Love it. Thanks for always bringing a smile to me!
This song, " I go crazy" was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 40 weeks and peaked at #1. Everyone loves when an old lover looks in your eyes and they still go crazy! Paul was hot. He was only in his 20's here. The long blonde hair is sexy on him, and the facial hair, moustache and beard are gorgeously masculine. He was somewhat shy and stayed out of the limelight. Their are not that many videos of this man playing this song, either. He could play any of the instruments in his band, very talented that way. He didn't tour much. He had filled our radiowaves with romantic magic and we ate it up back then. I love a lot of different music, but this song is so beautiful, it can reignite an old flame. His other hit 'Cool Night" will also set lover's hearts on fire! Yes I am in love with a dead man. I think I can be forgiven. Thanks for reviewing an old master of love songs!
OMG yes Dan Fogelberg please. One of the best story tellers... "Hearts in Decline", " Our Last Farewell", "Sweet Magnolia", " Tell Me to My Face", "Lonely in Love", " As the Raven Flies", and " Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) are just some of the really good ones.
I was listening to Dan "Live at Carnegie Hall" today". Had the privilege of seeing him live twice; he was even better than on vinyl! Oh, how my heart still breaks at the loss of that beautiful soul! Wish J WOULD listen to him. And this reaction was wonderful
@@melodymcdonald2140 and “Seeing You Again”, “The Reach”, “Wysteria”, “Whispers in the Wind”and just so many more. Dan’s music was amazing. To truly understand the depth of Dan’s music one must reach beyond the radio hits.
Memories of the life I left behind...what I mean by this lyric is I am referring to my youth. I only wish I could be there again because life, for me was so much simpler and the music, well the music just meant so much. And as we get older and listen to those tunes our memories come flooding back. Where we were, what we were doing who was in our lives at the time, etc., It takes on a deeper meaning. Once again brother Jamel, it makes me happy to see you enjoy what I/we enjoyed then and still enjoy now! moreover, I really appreciate you opening your mind, heart and ears to this music.
This song was out when a girl was breaking up with me 40 years ago. I told her I would always think of her when this song was on.. I am sure she thinks of me when she hears this also.
I'm definitely going crazy right now just listening to his beautiful voice.Brings back a lot of wonderful memories when I was dating my husband of 32 yrs.Thank you Mr.Jamel for this extraordinary experience God bless you and keep reacting to the most beautiful thing in this universe...💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
OMG! All time favorite- I just experienced this type of situation a couple years back- this song and “Old Lang Syne” (sp) by Dan Folgerberg have been played repeatedly since- already loved both songs, then that day happened.. however both of us already taken, after 20 years.. - talk about self control!! This and “Old Lang Syne” immediately came to mind and started a loop...❤️❤️✌️
I have loved "I Go Crazy", from my youth, such an amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing song, it never gets gets old, rest in peace Paul Davis, man u had soul and what a beautiful voice Xo
This is such a beautiful song. It never seems to get old. I think of this tune as a timeless classic. It's a shame that no one, that I know of, is making songs like this any more.
This is timeless. That part about "Old lovers being good friends" just resonates. In my experience, it's better to not stay friends. Yes, be friendly with each other if paths cross and don't try to avoid one another. But don't go beyond a polite conversation at say a big gathering with mutual friends. Something that may seem innocuous such as lunch or a non-emergency phone conversation could complicate things and re-ignite that old flame. Sometimes it's best for both parties to keep one's distance so both can move forward.

Why doesn’t anybody know the song “Sweet Magnolia Blues” ? Greetings from Soso MS ! 🎸🎧
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS OF ALL TIME
The late great Paul Davis. '65 Love Affair is my favorite of his large catalogue.
I love that song!
Great song.
O Yeah 👍
"Cool Night" and 65' Love Affair" are the next ones you should check out.
Doo wop diddy wop diddy wop doo.
'Cool Night' was the one. Whoooey.
ABSOLUTELY
Definitely react to 65 Love Affair. I can't find a decent live video so here's one with lyrics
ruclips.net/video/rKWdmZe5khI/видео.html
Thanks, I had forgotten Cool night and 65 love affair was also by Paul Davis. Great songs and great memories. all of them!😀
70's soft rock, yacht rock has never gone out of fashion
I indeed remember it from the 1970's, but I did not own a yacht.
I got a kayak in the 80's though.
@Mike - you are not wrong! Love them all 🥰
You are so right! Beautiful music like this is timeless!!
I was a teenager in the 70's. Those were "the good ole days"!
Great song.Beautiful.The piano reminds me of Michael Murphy's "Wildfire."R.I.P. Paul.Another great one gone too soon.
I have always loved wildfire, too
Ahhh .. I can't listen to Wildfire without crying ... EVERY SINGLE TIME .. I love that song, it breaks my heart every time though. 💔
Oh you’re right the piano does sound kind of like Wildfire, I never thought of that till I read your comment 😀
@@sarahdixon1943 me too Sarah....me too!
Check out Michael Murphy's on David Letterman performing "Wildfire.". It's fantastic and Dave goes nuts over it.
This song was HUGE when it came out.
I don’t know if it was ever huge, but it did stay on the charts forever LOL
I wanna go back and ,,,, STAY ,,,,,,,, in the sweet 19 70s
@@michaelkearney2186 It peaked at #7 in 1978 and stayed on the _Billboard Hot 100_ charts for 40 weeks. I'd say that's pretty huge.
@@bobthebear1246 oh I know, but it's not like it was #1 for 10 weeks or anything. That's huge
It was huge. Why? Fantastic song!
I remember it gotta a lot of air play on the radio.
God speed, Paul Davis. You were an amazing talent that I'm grateful to have known.

Oh, this song used to make me cry - way, way back when.
Still makes me cry.
Me too 💔
One of my all time favorite slow dance songs.
So many love songs about leaving. Not as many about giving a second look.
Still makes me cry to this day. I was 6 when this song was popular, and I remember how much I loved it back then. It's my favorite song ever recorded! This live version is cool, but I prefer the studio version. It's absolutely perfect!!!

All Paul Davis songs are heartfelt love them
The studio version is even more beautiful and haunting. Give you chills, it will.
Agreed!
This was incredible too; shows you just how talented Paul was.
He should react to the studio version. It is incredible
Ugh, I love this song so much. His voice was so beautiful.
Heart breaker voice. May have cried a few...dozen...times listening to him. ❤
Paul Davis _ Rest In Peace. This was a hit from 1978, he also had a hit with "Cool Night." Paul definitely had alot of soul to write like this.
One of the greatest tender breakup songs of all time. I think we've all been there.
Jamel thank m you for coming back to the 70s ,

I can't even imagine Lou Rawls singing this - just doesn't seem in his type of groove.
I can see it. With less guitar, it could happen.
I can testify you can't get over your true love. I tried for 2 years. I couldn't stop loving him. We will be married 35 years in April.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks God I'm so happy for you it didn't work for me I'm sorry to say but I still love her
I know the feeling. I still in love with a man that is not mine. I have loved him for over 40 years. The love dose not go away
I remember this being in heavy rotation on the radio for a long, long time. A great, melancholy song. 🔥💜
Love Paul Davis(RIP)! He had so many great songs Sweet Life, Cool Night, and 65` Love Affair are musts!
"Do right" and "Cool night" are wonderful Paul Davis songs!
I remember when you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing this song. I bought the 45 rpm. Still love it to this day.
This song holds the Billboard record for the slowest-rising song of the 1970's to reach the Top Ten. It also held the record for the most weeks on the Hot 100 for the decade
Damn Jamel I haven't heard this song in a while. It's a tearjerker. Thanks for digging up this beautiful song.
Now I'm picturing you watching Hallmark movies 😃
Paul was a great singer/ songwriter. He had a beautiful voice. Love him.❤️
Sanford Townsend Band

Great song.
Beautiful song 💗
Been dying for him to do this one! "don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out" - such a great line, lol.
🎙️"I go crazy when I look in your eyes, I STILL go crazy 👀 Those of "Us" that have lost THEEE love of a LIFETIME know Paul's Lyrics hit us right in the HEART 💔
Jamal, the recording is much better than the live version. His song 'Sweet Life' is great too.
Yes - I agree. He has a great voice but that studio version is magical. Cool Night is another good one.
Do not forget '65 Love Affair...
This sounds like the studio verison to me...I think the video was added
@@skyblue9515 that's what I was thinking too. This is exactly how I remember it & I've heard it thousands of times.
@@skyblue9515 This live version sounds pretty close to the studio version, however, check out the
song post of the original recording by: Topic.
Paul Davis was smooth as glass. Great song and reaction. First reaction to a Paul Davis I've seen.
REQUEST: Lou Rawls “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine”. Classic, soulful, smooth as silk ❤️
One of the best songs ever -- One of my first musical memories and so much sweeter with time.
Four octave baritone - love Lou Rawls.
Funny, I’ve been singing this one to myself a lot lately. But then it hasn’t been that long ago that I found the love of my life’
Yes! Lou Rawls. What a voice!
Yes! That song is it! His voice! Those lyrics!
LOVE this song, "Cool night" and "65 love affair". Great songs ❤️❤️❤️

"SAD EYES" ~ Robert John.
Yes! I’m with ya for that! 👆🏻
Yes! Love that one.
Turn the other way.
This song gives me chills every time.
I read that he started his singing career a little late in life. He was just a good old country boy before that. I love his voice.
I remember this song&I love it now&then!
Paul started recording in 1968 at the age of 20.
I have always loved his music. Love this song..
One of the most beautiful live songs ever made in my opinion. I remember singing this as I was growing up. Kinda gets you teary eyed. It’s simply beautiful. ❤️

Was thinking the same thing, lol. Then I started thinking, hes a good cross between Gregg and Leon Russell!
The “tinkling” piano sounds like Babe by STYX!
Also Hall & Oats I Can’t Go For That.
"Top tier love". So true. This is one of my favorites of all times along with I'm not in Love and Fooled around and fell in Love.
I’m so thrilled you are diving in to his music!! What a beautiful song! Beautiful voice!! ♥️♥️♥️
I love Paul Davis!! You might want to try out his song "Sweet Life" One of my all time Favorites!! I could listen to it over and over and over again!!
" Cool Night " " Sweet Life " both beautiful songs too ❤️
Man when I heard this come on the FM radio I was taken back how great a song this is!
One of many of the best ballads of the 70’s! It wasn’t until much later in life I saw what he looked like lol. Yacht Rock!
Absolutely amazing song and a fave of mine. "Cool Night" is another gem
This song might be almost as sappy as a hallmark movie, but musically speaking it’s SO GOOD. So thanks for playing it! Always been a favorite ballad of mine.

Sweet Life, too along with ‘65 Love Affair and Cool Night. All great ones.
This is one of the songs of my teen years. They played several times a day on the radio. Love it still.

Memories of the life I left behind...what I mean by this lyric is I am referring to my youth. I only wish I could be there again because life, for me was so much simpler and the music, well the music just meant so much.

Once again brother Jamel, it makes me happy to see you enjoy what I/we enjoyed then and still enjoy now! moreover, I really appreciate you opening your mind, heart and ears to this music.
We had the best music!!!! Just think of when we all slowed danced to this song.
This song was out when a girl was breaking up with me 40 years ago. I told her I would always think of her when this song was on.. I am sure she thinks of me when she hears this also.
So sweet!🍒
I bet you remember her kiss!💋

We always associate a song to a big love. I was a kid when I listened this song thinking I was in love. Good memories, of course.
I think you’d like “At this Moment” by Billy Vera. A mix of country, blues and soul... one of the best heartbreaker songs ever.
The Second Concert I ever ran lights for Paul Davis opening for Crystal Gayle. Oh the Hair.
Paul was highly under rated. He had One of the best voices ever.
Oh goodness. You can feel the heartbreak in these lyrics. I haven’t heard this in years.
"Do Right" By Paul Davis is my Favorite
