Midnight Special, Soul Train, Don kirshner's Rock concert and of course Austin City Limits. These were all late night TV shows mostly before cable. guaranteed culture shock. Do a RUclips search LOL.
_I remember when Midnight Special came on, you had to turn the TV on channel 10 and turn on the radio and tune to 91.5 to hear it. Those were the days. I remember watching that one too!_
1970 I was 20yrs old and headed to Viet Nam by July. The best decades of music ever and gone forever except for RUclips. Thank you guys for what you're doing....
They were from Steubenville Ohio. At that time in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania Parliament and Funkadelic were real big in the dance clubs. It was right before Disco hit big.
Man this takes me back lol. Had a disco by my house and this song was played alot. The era of boogie and platform shoes, and big hair lol. I'm 52 years old now, and ya'll are playing the music we grew up on. Thanks for the memories. Y'all would've loved the 70's lol.
Love watching you kids react to this stuff puts a smile on my face I was your age when this stuff was new BK when mtv played vids all day no shows or anything I live in Indiana most of my life but we moved to Florida fort pierce I went to 7th 8th grade there it's Christmas night an 12 degrees here now I miss that warm weather anyway you all keep reacting Im a fan
Good reaction. This is my time. I was in my youthful prime in the 70’s and was into disco. It was the way to find the babes! Dancing to the rocking, heavy base beat that went straight to your bones.
The lady who did the introduction to this band is Helen Reddy. She recently passed away. I loved her musical performances in the Disney movie “Pete’s Dragon” (the old version not the remake).
@@watermelonwatsittoya hardly, its not a generation thing....today's stuff can't touch oldschool music. I didnt react to my moms music the way these kids love 70s and 80s music.
Yesssss! I have begged for this from ALL the reactions I watch! MY song! Had the album and could sing it at elementary school age- (Still can at 50 years old) I played it soooo much- I don’t know if it’s cuz it’s so long or what- but there are shortened versions they could react to at least- that and “Double Dutch Bus” by Frankie Smith, I played both constantly- 🤟🏻✨✌️
70s had it going on. Speaking having it going on you should react to Marvin Gaye, What's Going On.You will love it. Marvin Gaye is one of a kind legend.Also KC and the Sunshine band my Boogie Shoes
As good as the reactions always are they become a million times better when she is in the video. I click on songs I don't even care about when she's there LMAO.
this song is a hilarious memory for me - when I was a teenager in the midwest, it was popular on radio -- and I recall riding in the car with my (evil-but that's another story) stepdad - who was outraged when this song came on the radio -- he would say "that's foul language - I know what they're REALLY saying..." and we tried to explain to him -- "No, Dad -- FUNKY is a real word" -- but he just wasn't havin' it... lol
Horn section hops in before each chorus and again at the end of the chorus ("till you die" / / /). There are a few other tasteful moments that they sneak in too. =)
If you haven't already you should check out some of Helen Reddy's sings, particularly (and I am biased here) Angie Baby & I Am Woman; she had a number of hits in the seventies, but those two had a major impact on my psyche when I was a teenager. She passed away relatively recently and the musical world mourned one of the greats when she did. As far as this track goes I used to go to a rockclub when I still lived down in Devon and a group of us would sometimes get up on stage and start trying to do the can-can to some tracks; this being a favourite. Happy days, kerk.
You hear that "southern country" sound in his voice, is because Steubenville, Ohio is a true country town, with a lot of Amish & Mennonites livin in the area. I am from Ohio(Born & raised), and I don't live that far from Steubenville, as our high school's played against each other, in football, basketball & etc...
Another great catchy songs from the Disco era. Most men back then had long hair. Bell bottom pants, back then everyone was waring them even guys were, unlike today you only see girls/women waring them
@@singleplytech it's a matter of being completely disrespectful to her. I'm not offended. You're not talking about me. But it is still disrespectful no matter who is or isn't offended. Show a little bit of class.
Did you know that the singers hair was straight at beginning of the song. As he got funkier his hair grew till by the end, Homie had a Afro. The power of the funk. 🤣
Great reaction! Y'all got to know these cats played live. Not tracks. They played their instruments. Name any pop or hip hop group that does that today. There were so many bands that could play all the instruments back then. Not like today's fake ones who can't play anything.
Check out a band called Red bone i believe they're on the Midnight Special. 1974. Come and get your love. you'll get a kick out of them to really cool band. Pretty sure the only American Indian band to make top 40..
I dont usually comment, but your Southern root leave me to believe you would really love some Bayou music from Creedence Clearwater Revival. I suggest "Green River" or "Born on the Bayou." Even if you dont react, give them a try. Great videos, thank you!
This is classic. If you haven't done Rick James "Super Freak" yet, check it out & think about Sam Cooke, " it's all in the game." There is snow outside here in Maine.
Talking about the hair. ..we were ridiculed for growing our hair long,by our parents generation. .Check out Bob Segar, TURN THE PAGE. he references the hair in the song. Wow, how I miss the 70s. .also shout out to yall being southerners, in the great state of Florida. ..from a another southerner from Alabama. .!..good reaction!
They were right about the 1970s. It was a whole different time...lol. By the way, these two should check out Kriss Kross "I Missed the Bus" and The Fat Boys "Jail House Rap"
If you were a guy in the seventies and didn't have long hair or a 'fro most of your peers thought you were weird or your dad was an army sergeant or something.

This was a great song back in the day. I’m an old man now, but this played at top volume in our high school lunch room in the 70’s!
Yes they played the instruments. One is a trumpet (the one he was spinning) and one is a saxophone! Love this song!
Man, the 70s were alive...
Midnight Special, Soul Train, Don kirshner's Rock concert and of course Austin City Limits. These were all late night TV shows mostly before cable. guaranteed culture shock. Do a RUclips search LOL.
Yup, the pre-video era!
This was their only hit, but it was the best-selling song of all on the charts for all of 1976.
_I remember when Midnight Special came on, you had to turn the TV on channel 10 and turn on the radio and tune to 91.5 to hear it. Those were the days. I remember watching that one too!_
This was the style in 1976, kids.
@Steve..thank you sir i was WAY young still AM. Fm radio played Rocknroll..too 😎 cool
Ha, Ha. Only 44 years ago. I was a mere 28. The good old days.
@@paulquick8806 I was 10 but I remember it well.
I was 5.
I was so lucky to be a teen back in the 70s. We had the coolest music ever, and disco was such fun. At 78, I can still bust a move!
1970 I was 20yrs old and headed to Viet Nam by July. The best decades of music ever and gone forever except for RUclips. Thank you guys for what you're doing....
I think we're at the point where I don't even care what song you do... Your energy, your enthusiasm always make my day. Thank you. ❤
The term You're looking for is
FUNK n ROLL✌️
OMG! Gettin Funky!
Literally...I didn't know the band was predominately white until 2019 or so...lol. They're so funky.
😂😜
The two hosts of this channel are Rock Stars man! I love your energy and reactions, it's infectious! I'm lovin' what ya'll do!
They were from Steubenville Ohio. At that time in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania Parliament and Funkadelic were real big in the dance clubs. It was right before Disco hit big.
Your guys enthusiasm makes me so happy. Fun fact about this song. When they play this song on radio Stations they cut out when he says “white boy”
Wow, that's pathetic. I've never heard it with the edit.
@@jamescrane2156 as far as I know. It’s only been recently within the last few years.
Where did they do that? It’s always been played correctly when I heard it
@@imweakfordeaky when they play it on my local rock station it is edited. I’m from WV
@@billtyrrell23 I’m from southwest Ohio and it’s unedited here .
Man this takes me back lol. Had a disco by my house and this song was played alot. The era of boogie and platform shoes, and big hair lol. I'm 52 years old now, and ya'll are playing the music we grew up on. Thanks for the memories. Y'all would've loved the 70's lol.
Damn.. I don't know about you guys but I can't stop looking at this girl
They're bouncing to the music. Gotta love it.
The whitest Black man Ever
Yes, they had my attention.
Love this reaction , you guys r so cute! 💙💕🎶
Thank you!! 😁
*@Dean Bros* What`re Your names,so I can correctly Address you both out of respect,and Concideration?
I am also impressed by the spinning trumpet
Love watching you kids react to this stuff puts a smile on my face I was your age when this stuff was new BK when mtv played vids all day no shows or anything I live in Indiana most of my life but we moved to Florida fort pierce I went to 7th 8th grade there it's Christmas night an 12 degrees here now I miss that warm weather anyway you all keep reacting Im a fan
Danced to this alot. Was certain THE singer was African American!!
Loved “Wild Cherry”, Our local Boys!
Love to watch you young people react to the music i grew up with.
Love this song never gets old. Great reaction too. Been to Florida twice and loved my time there.
Good reaction. This is my time. I was in my youthful prime in the 70’s and was into disco. It was the way to find the babes! Dancing to the rocking, heavy base beat that went straight to your bones.
That was not Disco music, it was funk...pure funk
This and Dazz Band - Let It Whip the two best funk songs ever. Perfect for cardio on the treadmill :)
If you listen you can hear the trumpet and sax.
It's so much to see you react to this yall.
Funk and any good music just doesn't know color, and you know it. Keep on.
The lady who did the introduction to this band is Helen Reddy. She recently passed away. I loved her musical performances in the Disney movie “Pete’s Dragon” (the old version not the remake).
Didn't we have the jams back in the day!!!!. Plz plz react to pat Benetar...Heartbreaker. Joan Jet... I love rock and roll.
Joan Jett, Do You Wanna Touch
There's good jams nowadays people are just to stuck up and obsessed with their own generation of music to even listen to.
@@watermelonwatsittoya hardly, its not a generation thing....today's stuff can't touch oldschool music. I didnt react to my moms music the way these kids love 70s and 80s music.
Another vote for Joan Jett especially "I love Rock and Roll"
Yes they did play them Horns!🎶
I wore bell bottoms, Levi widelegs they was called, Hash jeans was also popular. 👍😄
How about “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang?
Yesssss! I have begged for this from
ALL the reactions I watch! MY song!

@@kimberlinibambini1988 have to do the long version!
70s had it going on. Speaking having it going on you should react to Marvin Gaye, What's Going On.You will love it. Marvin Gaye is one of a kind legend.Also KC and the Sunshine band my Boogie Shoes
and do not forget Keep getting it on Marvin Gaye
wow ! beautiful reaction ...first time i ever listened to more than 3 seconds back in the day
As good as the reactions always are they become a million times better when she is in the video. I click on songs I don't even care about when she's there LMAO.
She is a cutie😍
Yeah, what ever happened to Knockers?
It was the '70s. My hair stopped just above my belt. Ended up donating it to the people who make wigs for cancer patients when I joined the military.

Song suggestion - "Le Freak" by Chic.
I like this girl.....🤗🤦♂️
Lay DOWN de boogie & play that funky music
Rob Parissi, awesome vocals and guitar playing!
It was 30 years before I realised that the singer wasn't black :)
Y'all are too dang cute!
If you like that Southern voice listen to Jim Dandy by Black Oak Arkansas!!!
Yeah the very first southern rock and the rest is history !
The 1970s was a crazy time. The disco version of Beethoven's 5th and a song called Disco Duck were hit singles back then.
I seen them guys live back on 1978!
Please react to " Alice's Restaurant". The original 1967 performance by Arlo Guthrie. Before or on Thanksgiving. Its a tradition.
Great suggestion!
😍
Alabama in the house.......
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, AND THEY'RE STILL THERE!
Another great catchy songs from the Disco era. Most men back then had long hair. Bell bottom pants, back then everyone was waring them even guys were, unlike today you only see girls/women waring them
Ok here the "black voice" comparison makes sense, that and Bobby Caldwell.
Guys, you got video-bombed by that thigh behind you.
Everyone had long hair in the 70's. Only the older generation, as was, had short hair.
Yep
And remember sideburns?
A great tune.... to the Top you going!
Try some Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing You ( Live 1976 )
Ooooooooo Yessss!
Another vote for "You Sexy Thing"
not sure which i like more watching these two delighful youngsters or the videos LOL
I love your reactions for 2 fabulous reasons 👀👀👀👀👀
Okay. We all notice them. But did you really need to comment🐽🐖🐷
@@reneeg9406 yup I sure did
@@reneeg9406If you're offended that's your problem not mine
@@singleplytech it's a matter of being completely disrespectful to her. I'm not offended. You're not talking about me. But it is still disrespectful no matter who is or isn't offended. Show a little bit of class.
@@reneeg9406 I really don't know what you are talking about , she has nice eyes how is that disrespectful?
Wild Cherry was a one hit wonder. This is the only song they did that was a hit
COOL QUEEN PICTURE ON THE WALL. I SEEN THAT CONCERT
Did you know that the singers hair was straight at beginning of the song. As he got funkier his hair grew till by the end, Homie had a Afro. The power of the funk. 🤣
This was the good old funk, back in the days.
Wild Cherry had members from Steubenville, OH and Weirton, WV... They're my stomping grounds....
Hella song playin ... I'm gonna just hang out in the background and play video games Lol
Great reaction! Y'all got to know these cats played live. Not tracks. They played their instruments. Name any pop or hip hop group that does that today. There were so many bands that could play all the instruments back then. Not like today's fake ones who can't play anything.
If I remember right, they won a grammy for this.
I have relatives in Pace and Milton. Please do something from the Beastie Boys.
Welcome back... It's been awhile...
Check out a band called Red bone i believe they're on the Midnight Special. 1974. Come and get your love. you'll get a kick out of them to really cool band. Pretty sure the only American Indian band to make top 40..
Gotta react to Take On Me by Ah-Ha it is probably one of the most iconic and famous videos ever on MTV.
I dont usually comment, but your Southern root leave me to believe you would really love some Bayou music from Creedence Clearwater Revival. I suggest "Green River" or "Born on the Bayou." Even if you dont react, give them a try. Great videos, thank you!
Funny how the trumpet went from trumpet to flute to...violin?🎻 😆
Eddie Money's "Shakin'" comes to mind.
Did he say he likes that southern voice??? Wild Cherry are from Ohio..........there's nothing south about them..........but they can funk, no doubt.
This is classic. If you haven't done Rick James "Super Freak" yet, check it out & think about Sam Cooke, " it's all in the game." There is snow outside here in Maine.

The Average White Band - "Pick Up the Pieces"
You should try The Gap Band, dropped a bomb on me, or burn rubber, total fun funk!
That's a trumpet next to the sax.
I went to there concert
That's not a flute that he's spinning. It's a trumpet. LOL 😆
If you’re enjoying the music style, check out Earth, Wind, and Fire “Fantasy”, Ohio Players “Love Rollercoaster”, and Stevie Wonder “Higher Ground”.
