The ultimate 10cc song is "Feel the Benefit". This is the best live version of that epic track: ruclips.net/video/x95-bMwhX_8/видео.html Let the music play!
God isn’t it beautifully written and sang. They just don’t write them like this no more . Did you notice how good it made you feel when you heard it? Made you want to play it again.....
10cc is a very sarcastic band lyrically. Listen to a few of their less popular tunes they really had a great sense of irony and humor. This song is also a great example of that but you might not catch it without a little context.
That song was used over and over again by WVII TV in Bangor in the 70s to celebrate being first in the ratings, (competing with NBC, CBS, and PBS). For a while, I actually thought that was the reason it was written! 😂
Walter Egan "Magnet and Steel, Starbuck "Moonlight Feels Right, Jigsaw "Sky High", Nick Lowe "Cruel To Be Kind" and Larry Santos "We Can't Hide It Anymore" would also be nice reactions to see. There a so many good 70's soft rock songs. These are just a few I mentioned
@@kevinlane7555 Wonderful song and I just listed a few off the top of my head without really thinking. I also like the rare not so often songs heard anymore. There are so many.
10cc, Ambrosia, England Dan and John Ford Coley. Great music. If you haven't done England Dan and John Ford Coley, listen to "I'd really love to see you tonight."
Jamel, you've only touched the tip of the Carpenters iceberg. Way more than just three or four songs. Neil Diamond would be another good soft rock well to go to.
I was ten years old in 1977 when this song came out and was constantly playing on the radio. I LOVED it!!! You're right, we were spoiled! Hahaha Fun reaction to watch!
I was 7 in 1977 and same here! I always loved music waaaay ahead of my time- whether I understood the meaning or not at that time, the music just hit me! Loved it!
we had it all in the 70s willy nelson to 10 cc dr hook and so much more i loved it all. an old lady these days still love my tunes though the grandchildren help me out with IT and they all listen to my stuff and enjoy it.
I was a senior in high school for this one. It absolutely moved my soul. “Communication is the problem to the answer”???? WHO has lyrics like that now??? A joyful song. Thanks Jamal.
That was a beautifully crafted song. Godley and Creme, half of 10cc, did a song called Cry that would be a react sensation. An absolutely stellar vocal. It's a song that would do really well today and I can see it blowing up big time.
I remember when I heard this song for the first time. It was the first song where I said to myself, "This is a perfect song". Its also fun as hell to play on the Bass.
"Ooooooohhhh, y'all were spoiled!" And now we are being spoiled all over again by getting to experience all this great music again for the first time through the ears and eyes of you and the other great reactors, Jamal! Thank you!
Songs tended to change direction and have structured pieces back then. It's difficult now to find a top 10 single that has more than a few notes in it.
Jamal u are absolutely correct we were spoiled and we lived those songs in our everyday lives. We lived knowning that 2 moro would bring us another great song too live out and carry on through out our lives. I still listen to it still to this very day. Keep carrying on my man learn to love this 70's music as I and when your old u'll still carry on the greatness and share with others.
Seeing, hearing Jamal's reactions is priceless. I love melody but lyrics is what drives me ... so happy to hear a fellow lyric aficionado like Jamal ... Peace & Love to you brother ...
Almost everyone I know had this album in their collection in 77 just like Frampton Comes Alive, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Supertramp's Breakfast In America. They were all must have from that year,
This band has always fascinated me, for the fact that they sound like a completely different band, every song. Listen to Rubber Bullets, and Dreadlock Holiday, if you get a chance.
I was so lucky, blessed to have grown up with older sisters and parents who loved this music. 80’s wEre my “heydays” but I LOVE the 70’s. Thanks for allowing me to re-experience these songs through your eyes. Dig in man and keep going.
10CC, incredible musicians, this song for instance gives you such a good mood and feeling, one of my favorite groups from the Seventies and early Eighties!
Communication is the problem to the answer - that riddle is answered when he said the (phone) lines are down in the next line. He knows he needs to talk to her but the phone lines are down and he can't call so now being unable to communicate is the problem to the answer he has come up with. Hope that makes sense, lol
All my teenage years were in the 70's and boy, am I happy for that! Every week you heard new, fantastic songs and performers, wish I could go back in a time machine and relive all those moments again!
Takes me back to being 10 years old! Heard tunes like this all the time on the radio,...getting ready for school in the mornings. Didn’t really appreciate them back then. As kids, we just had no idea what was to come. Another great song by them is “Art for arts sake”.
When I was in high school/college I worked at a golf course over the summers (‘94 -‘97). There was a guy that managed the outside staff who listened to songs from this era. When this song came on he would stop what he was doing and give it full attention. The guy couldn’t sing for anything but he belted out the chorus (“...walking in the rain and the snow when there’s no where to go....”) with the biggest smile on his face. I will never forget this song nor the joy that came from him. Truly a timeless song.
Jamel...I love participating in your reactions to so many great artists from the bands whose words and music spoke to me in my youthful formative years. and Thank You, for re-introducing me to so many of the great songs, that I have not heard in so many years. I love what you do, so please don't stop!

Lovely reaction ,we had so much music all around us when I was younger. Radio's, live Music ,even shops and funfairs.it all seems so quiet now, I miss it a lot.
I love your channel man. It's obvious you aren't just phoning these in. You want to share the experience with your fans. I love that. As I commented yesterday, I mentioned that my mom would always play 70s soft rock records when she cleaned. I picked up breakfast for my parents and visited them this morning. I showed the video and comment and my dad laughed. He said I don't remember 10cc but she played Barry Manilow and The Carpenters non stop. I told them I know and that's why i can't help but sing alone everytime I hear them. My mom didn't believe I knew the words so she called out to Alexa to play various Manilow and Carpenters songs. I nailed it LOL. I thought it was hilarious. I mean really, what 43 year old man knows the entire lyrics to "Weekend in New England" 😂
Agreed! I love how both 10cc and ELO have songs that sound so different from their other songs that one wouldn't even think they're from the same artist!!
ATalkingBadger Graham gouldman and Eric Stewart were having hits before Jeff Lynne joined the move then elo , 1965 as opposed to Jeffs first written hit in 1972 .
Jamel you are so much fun to watch when you find a song you enjoy! thank you for the smiles and the great music I loved as a teen and love now as a senior citizen!
I find myself out running errands and listening to the radio and then it happens.... I hear a song that I think you would just LOVE to hear and yet, by the time I get back home - I forget the song title. Dang! :D
Just Me Hi Just me! You sound just like me! I'm so vague these days! Jus be assured that you are not on your own! Anyway just wanted to say from Down Under! Hope things are okay where you are! Take care and stay safe! From Australia.
It's another oldie but a goodie!! Ya, we were spoiled. So glad you're "keepin great music alive", Jamel.👍 Does it earn a spot on your yacht rock playlist? ✌
You should checkout Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday, Wallstreet Shuffle, The Stars Didn't Show (a song about losing a music idol), and basically everything else they released. You'd also like the members' solo work, as well as Wax, which featured Graham Gouldman (10cc member) and Andrew Gold.
Communication is a problem to the answer (prefaced topic) (Specifically): You've got her number and your hand is on the phone (communication) The weather's turned and all the lines are down (the problem; of the things we do for love (which is the next line)) So, all we have to do is resolve the problem in communicating properly, and then we should have our answer, but it doesn't matter, because it all falls under the topic of "the things we do for love." In other words, it's the journey, and not the destination that matters.
It’s so pleasurable watching you enjoy these songs for the first time. I watch a couple of your videos every night in bed and I go to sleep with a smile on my face. Much love from Australia ❤️
Heard this song a lot just after lunch in Jr. High, during a 25 minute break before afternoon classes started. It was a bitterly cold winter...too cold to go outside; so we would hang out in the gym and listen to tunes on the gym teacher's record player. We could bring in our 45s, and he would play them for us. This song got a lot of play!! Good times. Thanks Jamel, for not only keeping great music alive, but for helping us to keep our great memories alive as well!
I will say to my dying day, the 70’s had the very best music ever. I don’t know if it’s because of having peace not war, more emotion & true heartfelt lyrics, or what, but it’s pure gold. And the R & B is to die for! I listen to 70’s & Disco every time. It’s positive, great rhythms, harmony, upbeat & fun... the second you hear the beginning of the music you know it! Puts you in that happy mood. I love your reactions Jamel. You are right-we were spoiled. My nieces ask “ how you know all these songs?” I say this was my era, my time, in the now back then. 👍💗
If you love these you should watch Godley and Creme "Cry". Same guys from 10cc. Amazing song. Another group that has a similar vibe is Ozark MOuntain Daredevils- Jackie Blue.
Sheet Music (1974) The Original Soundtrack (1975) How Dare You! (1976) Deceptive Bends (1977) Bloody Tourists (1978) Are all Cracking albums there was a period in the 70's when 10cc were one of the biggest bands on the planet. To be honest I had forgotten just how good they were Thanks Jamal you have reminded me of some wonderful tunes and lyrics
Plenty of good Huey Lewis and the News - great videos too, but I can only find official videos, are they more likely to be blocked! - Here is an unofficial one for Want a New Drug - ruclips.net/video/KAdRPrXdXTU/видео.html
Saw Huey in concert a few years back, he said of this tune as the intro, and I quote, if I knew then how many times I would have to sing this song, back then, I would have never wrote it!
I had no idea who sang this! Heard it a million times. Now I see I’ve been remembering the lyrics wrong. Thought it was “looking for the answer in the horizon.” 😂
This is a text book pop song. It has all the elements from the verse-chorus structure to doo-wop backup singing to hand claps, the obligatory guitar solo (not too long), radio-friendly run time, and catchy as hell.

Me too!
I agree!! Listening to these songs and smiling all the while!
We were spoiled.
I wish I could say the same, but I was born in 1995.
We were spoiled thats why we keep coming back to the good music of our pasts...thank you for enjoying the oldies
i hear you but for me it is always still newbies
Good old North West of England, and one of my old school tunes. I'm 60 now still love it 😁😁😁. 😁😁😁😁. 💥💥💥💥💥. 👍🏼👍🏼 🎧🎧🎧💯
God isn’t it beautifully written and sang. They just don’t write them like this no more . Did you notice how good it made you feel when you heard it? Made you want to play it again.....

Most definitely 💗
@Beth Meyers With your older brother.
10cc is a very sarcastic band lyrically. Listen to a few of their less popular tunes they really had a great sense of irony and humor. This song is also a great example of that but you might not catch it without a little context.
10cc are one of the most underrated bands of all time. They were pioneers and absolute genious.
Their reggae song "Dreadlock Holiday" is another good one.
You know I had forgot about that jem of a song. It is soooo goodddd!
I don't like cricket.
It's actually my favorite song by them, please play "Dreadlock Holliday "
Dreadlock Holiday
And it's more or less a true story from the band.
Man I loved this song when I was a kid! Right along with Orleans - Still The One
Omg my favorite song ever has he reacted to that one yet??
@@vonnyb9052 I don't believe so but I'm not 💯 on that
@@vonnyb9052 He has not. It would be great if he did. Just heard it the other day on the radio.
That song was used over and over again by WVII TV in Bangor in the 70s to celebrate being first in the ratings, (competing with NBC, CBS, and PBS). For a while, I actually thought that was the reason it was written! 😂

10cc, Ambrosia, England Dan and John Ford Coley. Great music. If you haven't done England Dan and John Ford Coley, listen to "I'd really love to see you tonight."
Hello, yeah, it’s been a while...
Definitely, I'd Really Love To See You Tonight!.
Oh yeah, I love that song!
@@berdy5064 Love is the Answer was, by far, their highwater mark. It's an all time classic.
@@kenperk9854 Another great tune!
Jamel you have no idea how many awesome 1970s soft rock hits there are to explore please continue
Oh yes he has an idea. He’s already explored so many
No there's more
has jamelia done guitar man, sweet surrender or indeed any song by bread if not jamel you should.
I understand soft rock has somehow become yacht rock
Jamel, you've only touched the tip of the Carpenters iceberg. Way more than just three or four songs. Neil Diamond would be another good soft rock well to go to.
I wish i had a playlist
We were so spoiled to be raised with great bands and artists in the day.
SEEMED like a new band and song every minute IM SERIOUS
I'm so lucky to have been raised with parents with good music taste compared to the stuff released now
Comment from a 2005 kid
Born in 72, I grew up with all the 70s music, love to see others finding it.
I was ten years old in 1977 when this song came out and was constantly playing on the radio. I LOVED it!!! You're right, we were spoiled! Hahaha Fun reaction to watch!
So was I a 10 year old in '77, living in Virginia at the time. This song was all over the radio then...
I was 7 in 1977 and same here! I always loved music waaaay ahead of my time- whether I understood the meaning or not at that time, the music just hit me! Loved it!
I was eight and use to run to the radio....love this song.
Me too!
@@MeeeLEe yes, my left over skating rink money! I hit the 45 records as often as possible- 🧡✌️
we had it all in the 70s willy nelson to 10 cc dr hook and so much more i loved it all. an old lady these days still love my tunes though the grandchildren help me out with IT and they all listen to my stuff and enjoy it.
Another great 70’s tune ♥️🎸🎤♥️ Yeah we we spoiled 😉 So happy to have grown up during the time that I did ♥️🎤🎸♥️
Jamel if you like songs written from the heart check out "Climax Blues Band - I Love You" Another big hit was a song called "Couldn't Get It Right"
I second that!
I agree!
Agree 100%
YES! I Love You- is soooooo AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both of these are wonderful.
U will love Orleans.....Dance with me and Still the one
*"Love Takes Time"* was always my favorite from Orleans...
Yes girl
Dance with me...yep.
"Yall was spolied". Agreed Jamal 70's and 80's music did spoil us!
And just good ole lucky to be born when we were born.
Yes we were!
It sort of went downhill from there. I don't think they'll be talking about music nowadays 30 years down the road or even five for that matter
Some stuff stands the test of time. New music is here and gone, for the most part
I was a senior in high school for this one. It absolutely moved my soul. “Communication is the problem to the answer”???? WHO has lyrics like that now??? A joyful song. Thanks Jamal.
That was a beautifully crafted song. Godley and Creme, half of 10cc, did a song called Cry that would be a react sensation. An absolutely stellar vocal. It's a song that would do really well today and I can see it blowing up big time.
The video is stellar, too. I believe it was the first time a ‘morphing’ computer program was used? Trying to remember it...
@@suemommie It's here on RUclips. I just watched it the other day and then recommended a reaction.
Godley and Creme hated this song btw.
They're incredibly talented video directors in addition, Herbie Hancock "Rock This" was ground breaking at the time, very talented guys.
ruclips.net/video/ypMnBuvP5kA/видео.html
I was a child in the 70s and I remember hearing this multiple times in the day.A great song for car travel at night.
"It Never Rains in Southern California" by Albert Hammond.
That's a great one. He also did another song I really like called "Free Electric Band".
Don't forget "Down By The River". I'm a singer/songwriter and I sometimes cover this and "Free Electric Band".
Oh my gosh I LOVE THAT SONG 🎵😍
We had it best. Oh yes!!! 70s are awesome.
I remember when I heard this song for the first time. It was the first song where I said to myself, "This is a perfect song". Its also fun as hell to play on the Bass.
"Ooooooohhhh, y'all were spoiled!" And now we are being spoiled all over again by getting to experience all this great music again for the first time through the ears and eyes of you and the other great reactors, Jamal! Thank you!
We may have been spoiled, but don't look now, but your own taste in music is never going to be the same either :)
Try the Greg Kihn Band "the breakup song"...Really think you'd enjoy it!
Yeah, hadn't heard that in a long time, and it came on the radio the other day. Great tune.
Greg Kihn, a Baltimore boy. Great tune...
Yaaaasss!!
A Classic!
I love 10cc! Please do "I'm Mandy Fly Me" and "Rubber Bullets" next!
‘Don’t hang up ‘is a great one
Godley and Creme, two of the greatest songwriters of all time. Brilliant.
Lovely song. Always enjoyed this one. Has an ELO vibe to it. Brings back memories, man. Thanks for putting a smile on this old gal’s heart. ✌🏻
I’ve heard these 10CC songs often growing up! I had no idea who it was or that they were from the same group. Thanks for sharing!
My absolute favourite song from 10CC... brings back a whole lotta great memories!!
Songs tended to change direction and have structured pieces back then. It's difficult now to find a top 10 single that has more than a few notes in it.

One of the most bouncy and well-crafted songs from that great decade! Reminds me of Spring 1977.

Frampton Comes Alive came out in 76 and Breakfast in America 79 but all around the same era. Boston's great debut was another one, out in 76
Still play all of these...
🎶🎵🎶 Brah. This song brought the rhythm out in you 😎
This band has always fascinated me, for the fact that they sound like a completely different band, every song. Listen to Rubber Bullets, and Dreadlock Holiday, if you get a chance.
Johnny Rivers. He needs to be on your radar.
Ohhh yes! Secret Agent Man, The Poor Side of Town, Midnight Special, Baby I Need Your Loving and so much more!!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰
Secret Agent Man!
This was played all the time on the radio when it came out. Soundtrack of my teens. We had good music for sure.

Unmistakable vocals of Eric Stewart...remembered for A Groovy Kind Of Love, (The Mindbenders, 1965).
There is nothing like 70s music. It’s the best. Takes you back in time. This is real music!!! Love watching your discoveries.
Great song Jamel. Please do “Jackie Blue” by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

Haven't heard this in forever! Great choice, you must try December 1963 , "Oh What A Night."
Loved this song, and your commentary, Jamel! It's such a feel-good upbeat song. I was 23 when it was released. Still love it every time I hear it.
Have you done Percy Sledge, 'When a Man Loves a Woman'? I couldn't find it in your playlist.

You should checkout Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday, Wallstreet Shuffle, The Stars Didn't Show (a song about losing a music idol), and basically everything else they released. You'd also like the members' solo work, as well as Wax, which featured Graham Gouldman (10cc member) and Andrew Gold.
I wonder if he'll do "Don't Hang Up."
@@chezellis that's a good one too. Very unique. I love the piano in it.
wanna rule the world, clock work creap, johnny dont do it, and on and on
We used to have a bunch of 45 records and this was one of them!!! LOVE this song!!!
Communication is a problem to the answer (prefaced topic)
(Specifically): You've got her number and your hand is on the phone (communication)
The weather's turned and all the lines are down (the problem; of the things we do for love (which is the next line))
So, all we have to do is resolve the problem in communicating properly, and then we should have our answer, but it doesn't matter, because it all falls under the topic of "the things we do for love." In other words, it's the journey, and not the destination that matters.
I had forgotten 10CC did this song...I always just think of Not in Love. thx for sharing Jamel!
So gorgeous .....❣️
I listened to this as a teenager and really had no comprehension of the lyrics. Now I’m 62 and WOW, the things I did for love..
😘
Jamel: "Y'all were spoiled!" You are so right, sir.
It’s so pleasurable watching you enjoy these songs for the first time. I watch a couple of your videos every night in bed and I go to sleep with a smile on my face. Much love from Australia ❤️
Took me back to 7th grade.... sweet innocence
Have a blessed evening
6th grade.
Heard this song a lot just after lunch in Jr. High, during a 25 minute break before afternoon classes started. It was a bitterly cold winter...too cold to go outside; so we would hang out in the gym and listen to tunes on the gym teacher's record player. We could bring in our 45s, and he would play them for us. This song got a lot of play!! Good times. Thanks Jamel, for not only keeping great music alive, but for helping us to keep our great memories alive as well!
Mate, you gotta do a reaction to Fire and rain by James Taylor.
Yes please!! ♥️
Another one of the songs I loved as a kid....and still do ! Fabulous
Heard this when I was Eleven. Still know all the words.
I will say to my dying day, the 70’s had the very best music ever. I don’t know if it’s because of having peace not war, more emotion & true heartfelt lyrics, or what, but it’s pure gold. And the R & B is to die for! I listen to 70’s & Disco every time. It’s positive, great rhythms, harmony, upbeat & fun... the second you hear the beginning of the music you know it! Puts you in that happy mood. I love your reactions Jamel. You are right-we were spoiled. My nieces ask “ how you know all these songs?” I say this was my era, my time, in the now back then. 👍💗
If you love these you should watch Godley and Creme "Cry". Same guys from 10cc. Amazing song. Another group that has a similar vibe is Ozark MOuntain Daredevils- Jackie Blue.
I can clearly hear a lot of Queen in the song. The background vocals, the guitar solo, ....Great Song
Thanks, Jamel. Try "Part of the Plan" by Dan Fogelberg (w/lyrics)

Are all Cracking albums there was a period in the 70's when 10cc were one of the biggest bands on the planet. To be honest I had forgotten just how good they were Thanks Jamal you have reminded me of some wonderful tunes and lyrics
I'm a simple girl ... I see Jamel ... I click !
Me too ❤💚💜💙
I enjoy seeing you enjoying this almost as much as I love this song! You are a true lover of music and it's a beautiful thing!
You must react to Dorothy Moore singing Misty Blue !!!
yes!!!!
I had the privilege of seeing 10CC last year in Nottingham, absolutely fantastic!!
Dreadlock Holiday by them is Equally as good! Thank you for the reaction too!
Love this great, pretty, well-crafted, & most melodic song. This is a beautiful song. 🥰 Jamal, you do so well on your vids. Thanks, 👍 Richard
Mel!! (Huey Lewis and The News) “Power Of Love” 🙌
Huey has a few good ones... I like "The Heart Of Rock n Roll" also.
Plenty of good Huey Lewis and the News - great videos too, but I can only find official videos, are they more likely to be blocked! - Here is an unofficial one for Want a New Drug - ruclips.net/video/KAdRPrXdXTU/видео.html
Saw Huey in concert a few years back, he said of this tune as the intro, and I quote, if I knew then how many times I would have to sing this song, back then, I would have never wrote it!
This song brings back a lot of memories when I was a kid growing up in the 70's. This song was a staple on the radio back then. Great song.
I had no idea who sang this! Heard it a million times. Now I see I’ve been remembering the lyrics wrong. Thought it was “looking for the answer in the horizon.” 😂
This is a text book pop song. It has all the elements from the verse-chorus structure to doo-wop backup singing to hand claps, the obligatory guitar solo (not too long), radio-friendly run time, and catchy as hell.
