Jamel I love your channel. You have to review my buddy's song. He is a white american who does African music. Kilebu-KIbanga ruclips.net/video/alEQuclcLZs/видео.html
They called her haircut the Toni Tennille or Dorothy Hamill. lol. I never had it but it was everywhere!! lol and she is an amazing singer! Her song “I Got the music in me” is the one to check out!
I can still remember this song playing all the time on the radio back in the 70s! Always loved this song, Elton rocked the airwaves thru most of the 70s!
I was 10 in the June of '76. This came out 2 weeks before the U.S. Bicentennial. A very exciting time to be a kid. This song was EVERYWHERE!!! I still love it today.
Back in the UK in 1976,we had a really long and hot summer,this was No1 for about 6 weeks,it was the year I left school as a 16 year old and started work as a trainee mechanical engineer and had a gf who reminded me of Kiki Dee,Great memories of a great time in my life.....thank you ....my friend...lovin your channel 👍👍👍
What a year...The UK SWELTERED in THAT heatwave......Trying to remember great music from that summer... Silly love songs by Wings Silverstar by the four seasons Young Hearts by Candi Staton... And tons more my fading memory cannot hold onto... Nice one...
@@JF-kv1gm Awesome song.....So amazing the amount of great music back then....We really were spoiled for choice...... "Lido Shuffle " " low down" and "What can I do " Boz Scaggs "Haitian divorce" Steely dan... "Heaven must be missing an angel" Tavares..... Oh man...Somebody build a time machine please.....TAKE ME BACK Timeless music
@@UBZUKki yes it was a Grear year for music, it started off with Bohemian Rhapsody,the xmas and New year No 1, Abba had 3 no 1's with Mamma mia,Fernando & Dancing Queen, Chicago topped the charts with " If you leave me now" as did Pussycat with "Mississippi" there were so many Great songs in the UK that year plus as a motorcycle / motorsport fan the UK had 3 World Champions, Barry Sheene ,500cc motorcycle World Champ, James Hunt was the Formula 1 W.C & Peter Collins was tge Speedway W.C....Happy Days 🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@andysmith2417 Had to go online to jog my memory "Killing of George" Rod Stewart "I love to love" Tina Charles "Music" John Miles "See the trouble with me" Barry White... Boy...getting all misty eyed with the nostalgia right now...
Kiki Dee had more hits here in the UK than the USA,. I think "I've Got The Music In Me" was a US hit. She's had a long career. Other hits/well known Kiki songs worthy of checking out are "Amoureuse", Loving & Free" "First Thing In The Morning", How Glad I Am", "Perfect Timing" & "Star"
Kiki dee is a popular background singer for a lot of Elton s albums. I think that this was a way of saying thank you to her and putting her along side of him in this song to honor her
I became a subscriber of your channel, about 4 days ago and I could watch several of great vídeos / songs of the 70 's and 80's ! That' really cool , as there's nothing nowadays like we had at that period ! Congratulations, Jammel ! Good work. For the next, Elton John songs : - Philadelphia Freedom ( 1975), Someone Saved My Life Tonight ( 1975) and The One ( 1992).
I had such a huge crush on Kiki Dee when I was a kid. She was gorgeous. I remember seeing her do "I got The Music In Me" and I thought I was going to pass out from her stunning beauty.
I love your reaction to this one. It makes me happy to hear this early Elton John and Kiki Dee classic. The plaid suit and the sunglasses are pretty conservative for Elton at the time. Elton John did an appearance on The Muppet Show many years ago whichis one one of my favourites. Crocodile Rock with crocodiles... Hilarious!!
The song started playing in my head as soon as I read the title. Just the kind of music I need today. Elton John has so many songs to choose from. Have you done Philadelphia Freedom, The Bitch is Back or Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting yet? How about Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, I'm Still Standing, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me or Levon or (Get Back) Honky Cat? The man was a walking hit machine. And oh, the fashion! Forgot to add one more....Crocodile Rock! You could do pretty much a whole day of just reactions of his songs.
This was the first record I ever bought. I think (it was this or Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney & Wings). But I remember listening to it over and over on my little record player. Please keep doing Elton John! He has so many beautiful, fun songs. Levon is one of my all time favorite songs by anyone, ever, I'd love to see you do that one. Philadelphia Freedom is a lot of fun, too.
Jamel, I feel cool knowing I remember when this song was released and you feel cool decades later. Every time I hear this song a wave of the 70s hits me and I'm back to simpler, happier times with much better music and TV. There's nothing like watching an episode of Charlie's Angels, The Bionic Woman, The Six Million Dollar Man...and then to hear this today!!
Check out Kiki Dee too,she was on Elton's " Rocket" record label,and had many great songs such as "Amoreuse" , " first thing in the morning,last thing at night", " I got the music in me"," lovin and free" and another song she did with Elton was an xmas hit in the uk " True love" 👍👍👍
This was my daddy and my duet when I was 6-7 years old. I love music and I have been singing since I was 3 years old. First time in public was at my parents’ friends nightclub. He would put me on the bar and I would sing along with the jukebox. My daddy passed away in 2016. Every year since on my birthday, this song plays at some point of my day. I was shopping at the Paula Deen shop when it hit me last year. It gets me every time. I say it is his way of telling me “HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby girl!!!!” Love it..........
Ah, memories of the Summer of 1976, as a 12 year old kid in the car, on the long drive to Florida with the family for vacation! We must have heard this song at least once an hour on the radio, along with the songs "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Group, and "I'll Be Good To You" by The Brothers Johnson!
Jamel- they were in a recording studio....Kiki Dee "I've Got The Music In Me"...1974 - hit number 12 on the U.S. Billboards charts. ..Kiki Dee started out singing backup vocals for Dusty Springfield. ....Wayne Maher Bellingham, Wa.
Jamel you keep playing these songs from when I was in high school and its bittersweet. Nice memories of a carefree time but then I think about too many people I've lost since then. 40+ years can take its toll (Mom, Dad, older sister, older brother).
I enjoy your channel. This is one of my favorites. I love Elton John. I was born in1962 and of course my teen years was in the 70's. You bring so many memories back with the music you post. Thank you so much for putting a smile on this old ladies face. Kiki Dee's hair cut was called the Dorothy Hamill hair cut. I never had that hair cut. I sported the Farrah Fawcett feather hair style. Again, Thank you so much for bringing back memories. Stay safe and have a good weekend.
I remember this video because like other guys we just fell in love with her charm.... so adorable. One of her first hits was "I've Got the Music in Me"
Such a fun, carefree song...perfect for today after an emotionally draining night last night!! This is one of the first pop songs I remember hearing on AM radio as a grade schooler. Immediately takes me back to more innocent 70s days!! 🥰
That comment about getting chills and making you feel like you grew up with us oldies was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on here because that’s how I feel when I watch a reaction from a younger generation individual (like yourself) to the music we enjoyed “back in the day” “Go ahead pound it!” 😜 You da man bro! Thank you!
I have had such a crappy day and within a minute, I was smiling and moving with you to this song! Thanks so much for being here. You mean more than you will ever know to us. Love.
The first time I heard this song, was on the "Totally Minnie" TV special in 1988. On which Elton John and Minnie mouse danced down a boardwalk singing this song together. This was my intro into a life long love affair. And I will always have special feelings for this song, amongst all of his others because of this memory.
Funny how a song brings you back to a place. When I hear this, I'm 25, driving my L'Eggs truck through the wilderness of the Adirondacks on my sales route. Singing along to the crappy AM radio in the step van the company gave me to drive.
Kiki Dee had a popular rock and roll song in the '70s called I Got The Music In Me. I know there used to be a live version of that on RUclips. Its a MUST!
Thank you for that song and video Jamal. My oldest was born January 1977 and this song came out in 1976. I remember when she was 1 and 2 years old picking her up playing that song loud and dancing around the house holding her and she laughed and smiled the whole time.. With all the stuff going on these days its great to watch you react to these old and great songs as they bring back many many memories for me. Please play " Still the One by Orleans " and " Rhythm of the Rain " by the Cascades from 1963 or so..
What a a great song! Back before Elton regained his hair! Reminds me of summer 1976, met a girl, we dated briefly (she was cuter than Kiki, even!), and we would sing the parts to each other when the song came on the radio. Thanks for the memories, Paula (and Jamel)!
My best buddy aka cousin and I used to tape record (ya you read that right) ourselves singing this song. One of us would be Elton, the other KiKi. Hysterical! Every time we hear this on Pandora or Spotify, we text one another! I love that this song was done by Jamal on a kind of gloomy day here in the USA. ✌🏻✌🏻⚡️⚡️ Thank You for this! Don’t go breaking my hhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttttt😍
Isn't this the funnest song ever? I haven't listened to this song in a while. Kiki D is awesome. Anyway what a awesome song. I think I'm going to hook up with you tube and listen to it again. Thank you.
Jamel watching your reactions is like being a teenager again sharing music with friends, enjoying the lyrics the music sharing in a cold Scottish bedroom but what fun
This was one of the first videos on tv made for a song outside of a live performance. This video was shot in a recording studio. Great fun song and your great fun reaction, Jamel!
Thank you for sharing this song. I had heard when I young and it was first out. I wasn't that impressed by it but now I appreciate it a lot more. There's serious happiness.
Kiki Dee's career went back to the mid 1960s. You can see her in the 1965 movie "Dateline Diamonds' along with Small Faces. You might recall that Steve Mertiott (Black Coffee) was a member of Small Faces. He is featured in the film with Small Faces.

Maybe "Philadelphia Freedom" should come soon.
👍
This is Elton performing Philadelphia Freedom on Soul Train

AWWW hell yeah!!!
@Dauna Payne he did that one
"Goodbye yellow brick road" is a masterpiece! Oh Kiki sings "I got the music in me". She's great.
They called her haircut the Toni Tennille or Dorothy Hamill. lol. I never had it but it was everywhere!! lol and she is an amazing singer! Her song “I Got the music in me” is the one to check out!
I had one. 😏
I had that haircut, too...
( cringe ) lol...
I had that haircut 😆
@@k_spats you were trendy!!
@@lisarainbow9703 that was the style. Bet it looked cute on ya!
Jamel, you’ll always be one of the cool kids!!
When I was at school there was a kid who used to march home singing this song. He’d change his voice for each part.
Great memory!
I can still remember this song playing all the time on the radio back in the 70s! Always loved this song, Elton rocked the airwaves thru most of the 70s!
Fun fact Elton turned down millions to perform in vegas to flay back to England to organize a surprise Party for Kiki,s 60th birthday.
I was 10 in the June of '76. This came out 2 weeks before the U.S. Bicentennial. A very exciting time to be a kid. This song was EVERYWHERE!!! I still love it today.
A 70's AM radio staple...on those long road trips in the back seat of the family car.
Yes!
Fun song!! Elton always wore some wild and crazy clothes and glasses..He is a great and talented entertainer.
you gotta try Kiki Dee's ''I've Got The Music In Me'' from 1975...her only big hit in north america
And Amoureuse by her
@@alexjohnson2068 Love "Amoureuse"
@@alexjohnson2068 and Star, the US charts didn't have all her best music
Oh yeah, Jamel you are going to like her song ""I got the music in me"! I love that song 🎵 ❤
Kiki was one of the first artists/friends Elton signed to his then brand-spanking new label, The Rocket Records Company.
Holy smokes! KIKI… she loves her overhauls. Just a fun song! I'm singin it!
And those overalls love her
This is just one of those happy songs that puts a HUGE smile on your face.
I truly think this song is EVERYONE'S guilty pleasure. Looks they're just having fun and it became a hit
I remember that summer well... Afternoon Delight (Starland Vocal Band) and this song were constantly on the AM radio.
That song is so cringe though... almost as bad as the Love Boat theme. It’s dollar store Abba.
I can see Jamel saying freaky deaky all through his reaction 🤣🤣🤣😉
Elton is responsible for SO MANY amazing hits.
You've gotta do Elton John Philadelphia freedom!
Yes Philadelphia Freedom fantastica great one
buuuummmmm bah bah bummmmmmmm
My favorite! Although, it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite Elton John song. So it's my favorite by just a hair, lol
was just scrolling down to leave that very message!!!!!!
@@OhJodi69 Hair is a touchy subject for Sir Elton :P
This was Elton John's first number one. Kiki Dee is such a talent. Thanks Jamel. 👏🎶
It depends on where you’re talking about because in the US this was actually his 6th number one.
Please play Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" -- so much fun, and it actually made the R&B charts in the US. He played it on Soul Train!
My favorite favorite Elton John song!! 💙
Jamel has said he won't do "B b b Beenie and the Jets" here because he knows it too well.
Back in the UK in 1976,we had a really long and hot summer,this was No1 for about 6 weeks,it was the year I left school as a 16 year old and started work as a trainee mechanical engineer and had a gf who reminded me of Kiki Dee,Great memories of a great time in my life.....thank you ....my friend...lovin your channel 👍👍👍

Silly love songs by Wings

Boy...getting all misty eyed with the nostalgia right now...
1976 and a number 1 in the UK,still one of my favourite Elton John (Reginald Dwight) songs from the disco era and still loved 44 years later........
This was a popular song at my local roller skating venue in 1976 (I believe).
Yes, 1976, the year I graduated high school. Remember this song well
Was released June/July 76
Do the shuffle!
It's as if they were born destined to record this great song. It is now more than 4 decades old and continues to be remembered.
I used to play this record on my record player every morning before school. My moms loved Elton and Kiki for helping her to get me ready for school.
Your joy is infectious. Appreciate you bro.
Kiki Dee had more hits here in the UK than the USA,. I think "I've Got The Music In Me" was a US hit.
She's had a long career. Other hits/well known Kiki songs worthy of checking out are "Amoureuse", Loving & Free" "First Thing In The Morning", How Glad I Am", "Perfect Timing" & "Star"
At the time I thought she was an unknown, but you are right, I found out later she was pretty successful in the U.K.
i'm glad to hear she did well. she had such a wonderful voice
Her 1974 live performance of "I got the music In Me" rocks! Jamel needs to react to that one.
Forgotten she did How Glad I Am, great song. I had the Nancy Wilson version which was beautiful...
Kiki dee is a popular background singer for a lot of Elton s albums. I think that this was a way of saying thank you to her and putting her along side of him in this song to honor her
I remember this being played on the Midnight Special when I was 7- Offf I'm old :>) What a jacket Elton made from those VW seat covers Peace
You think you're old. I watched midnight special when I was in my early 20s. Lol
Brings back lovely memories.
Even threw in a little "hand jive" Always loved this song
Love hearing you sing along to songs from my past, they're just fun, happy, feel good songs
Another great duo is Dilly Parton and the late great Kenny Rogers with "Islands in the Stream". This is one you should definitely check out.
@LeoGotRock I was thinking more like dilly bar from DQ!

He was a guest on the 1970s Muppet Show and they all got together to help him sing this.
They also did Crocodile Rock.
One of my ultimate feel good songs! Makes me think of evening breezes and speakers on the front porch
Thank you for sharing this song. I had heard when I young and it was first out. I wasn't that impressed by it but now I appreciate it a lot more. There's serious happiness.
Another great reaction Jamel! Eltons songs always gives me chills. I’m still standing is a great one too
I'll always remember when this video was first introduced to America by Dick Clark on his broadcast of American Bandstand.
Kiki dee is a fantastic singer too. She has a song called “stay with me baby “ . Fantastic
Another great soft rock song, Classic Duo
Kiki Dee's career went back to the mid 1960s. You can see her in the 1965 movie "Dateline Diamonds' along with Small Faces. You might recall that Steve Mertiott (Black Coffee) was a member of Small Faces. He is featured in the film with Small Faces.
Such a happy song. I've always liked it.
I was 10 when this came out! The 70's had some great music!
I really needed this little jolt of '70s-era joy today. Thanks, man.
I've got the biggest grin now from watching you sing along with Kiki. Fan-tas-tic.
