    Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on RUclips, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on RUclips. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on RUclips, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

    The epitome of early 80s, Friday night, gymnasium slow-dance songs.

    Well this brings back some very good, exciting memories. I was in London in the early 80s and I saw this very handsome bloke standing outside of a posh car fiddling around with a briefcase as me and my sister and her husband walked by. He winked and gave a little whistle and we all started chatting. Anyway I went on a few dates with him and discovered after a couple of dates that it was Steve (Norman) from Spandau Ballet! I wasn't really too mad about their music. It only lasted about 4 or 5 months as he was away a lot and in the meantime I met my future husband. But all remained friends. Sorry to be boring but I'm a bit ill in bed and this has brought back lovely memories. Happy days.

    Spandau Ballet was a band from the New Romantic movement of the early 80’s. It included bands such as Duran Duran, Soft Cell, and Culture Club.

    In addition to the Wedding Singer, this song is part of the John Hughes film Sixteen Candles with Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.
    React to their song Gold please.

    The lead singer Tony Hadley lives quite local to me and has been in the supermarket around the corner from me several times. My dad (who is a self employed Landscape gardener) also worked on his garden a few years ago. Tony Hadley is an absolute gentleman and very down to earth and humble guy.

    I was in my 40s when this song came out. The late 50s and the 60s were my favorite musical eras, but I still liked this song and other from that decade.

  • @jollyrodgers7272
    @jollyrodgers7272 2 месяца назад

    Yep - this was a Slow Dance "Babe Layer". As a child of the fifties, I enjoyed so much of the '80s - we were experiencing a Multimedia Renaissance, for sure. Extra Network with FOX, cable channels, music videos and MTV, plus film and cultural transformations (Vietnam was over, as well as the Oil Embargoes. 'Recreationals' were cheap and plentiful, race relations were better than ever, etc., etc.). At one point some 5,000 artists were moving into LA county every week - and then there was NYC and London as the other centers of the renaissance. Even some old groups from the '60s and '70s made 'comebacks' - recording some of their best stuff in the '80s, which spanned '79 - '90.

    I was in my early twenties when this was released. Well aware of both groups, did not know that Claire was the inspiration for the song.
    For Altered Images,listen to “Happy Birthday” or “I Could be Happy”.

    Great reaction, Shawn - yeah, this was such a high school slow dance song. I actually like it more now than I did back in the 80's. 😁I think it's pretty smartly written, and the groove is pretty irresistible. It was sampled by PM dawn back in '91, and that was a huge hit, so you also might have caught hits of it there. 🙂

    Great reaction! Would suggest ”Through the Barricades” by them and maybe also check out”Avalon” by Roxy Music with lead singer Bryan Ferry if you haven’t already. I think they also recorded in the Bahamas…maybe that was a thing🙂🙃I enjoy watching your channel!

    As a British band the name is pronounced BALL -et. Stress is on the first syllable in British English , unlike in the US. Sounds weird to our ears how you said it.
