This is an awesome review of Johnny. I met and started working with Johnny in 1976. I sang backups on his next two albums after hang on in there baby and recorded two duets with him on his last album. He was a very talented and wonderful person! Thank you for this beautiful review of my friend, Johnny Bristol!
Wow! So you sang background on this track. I've been wondering for years who the background singers on this track were. You guys sound so angelic on the track
I have loved this song since the first time that I heard it at 11 years of age. Did not know what it entailed but his voice had me from the beginning. At 60, I still love it. Great reaction 💖
I was a 23 year old white boy in London when I first heard this song and then I thought it was very good but time has made this performance , arrangement and song a joyous thing of beyond belief beauty. Johnny is no longer with us but what a perfect thing to remember him by, God bless Johnny
I love how back in the day they were able to sing about sex in such an intimate way. No crassness or foul language just two people engaged in a conversation as they make love for the very first time. Perfect.
Johnny Bristol is a great singer, songwriter, producer and arranger at Motown and some other record company's. He wrote Someday we will be together and singing on the record with Diana Ross. Check out his songs You and I and You turn me on.
I will check those songs out Johnny Bristol is a was a powerhouse for Motown I remember hearing Someday we will be together by Diana Ross a guy's voice was also on the track wow now Johnny Bristol sung with Ross last other records labels yep.
You were asking about other work that Johnny did prior to "hang on in there baby." Johnny was a Motown writer and producer. One of his most notable pieces was "Someday we'll be together" by The Supremes where you can hear Johnny singing and talkin in the background. He was actually coaching Diana but Berry Gordy heard it and liked it as it was and released it like that.
Johnny Bristol was Smooth, Dude was classy and he made this song here sound like the Love Unlimited Orchestra playing on the instruments and his voice is killing this song. This Dude was Talented man!!! Simply Beautiful Music!!!
Oh the days of expressing affection romantically 😍 very few current performers have the character or vocabulary to write, sing or rap this kind of respectful (to women) sexy music. Thks for the memory. Love you two 💞 Quincy Jones - "Secret Garden" is another one
Thanks for choosing this one: this song marks the beginning of my "musical life" and although my taste took another turn a few years later (hard rock and later symphonic rock), I still look back to this with a warm feeling and I still like the song, it has a special place. Warm regards from the Netherlands!
I'm sitting here jaw dropped because that song unlocked a childhood memory for me, my dad used to sing the hang on in their part when he would notice my moments of severe frustration he never told me who sang it he never sang the whole song always just that part I didn't even know the song came out when he graduated high school.
Wife here...Love this SMOOTH 💎 gem!!!..Always love the oh so Clever and Intelligent reviews from you 2 always!!.." The sensation of Love"...Sooo coool BJ...A vibe for sure..U2 Always put a 😃 smile on my face!!
@@pluckinmageetar What we do without music in this crazy world. But now I question if I'm listening to music too much instead of doing things I should be doing! Lol....
THIS SONG TRANSCENDS TIME... JOHNNY BRISTOL WAS A MAGNIFICENT VOICE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED...IN MY OPINION.. 100 YEARS FROM NOW IT WILL STILL BE A HIT AS WHEN I HEARD IT FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 1974..THE ARTISTS OF TODAY... CANT TOUCH JOHNNY BRISTOL...
Ohhhhh…I absolutely love this…didn’t discover this until it was in the movie “54”..may have just been in the extended version of the film..anyway, it’s not on the double cd soundtrack…bummed about that…but this is my jam….I was born the year it came out..you two are the best ! I love watching both of you ..have a blessed day!
It was a time when men and women could express their love and desire for one another without any embarrassment or ridicule from anyone because we all wanted the same thing..To be loved..I don't quite know how it happened I would venture to say the rough hardcore lyrics of rappers who hit the airwaves just a few years later must have made songs with this kind of straight forward pronouncements of love something to be scorned, mocked and not important..And one only needs to look at the state of our American society and how we treat one another to understand..Regards love your show you two shine off one another and it clearly shows..My Best Daniel..
This song reminds me of Major Harris, Love Won't Let Me Wait, or Millie Jackson, Tonight is The Night. & Marvin Gaye's, My love is waiting. They are all very romantic songs 😊
I'm from Berlin Germany and i happen to hear that song not even speaking English then , but i was so drawn to his voice and Hang on in there Baby and i will never forget that song and thought he was very handsome . Now i speak perfectly English and understand every word . I experienced that perfect once in a lifetime Love Affair with that sweet caress so warm and tender and we could not wait fort hat sweet moment of surrender . Johnny B brings back all those incredible memories .
Love your reactions, here's a band that will BLOW YOUR MIND! Their name is MOTHER'S FINEST and they have the ABSOLUTE GREATEST FEMALE ROCK SINGER EVER and I do mean EVER! React to their song titled TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE make sure it's the album version and GET READY!
Ok I knew this one was gonna be great! You guys didn’t disappoint me! BJ is serious too and little Asia just sittin there being a doll lol (I’ve had the flu all week! These videos have saved me!)
The re-edited version has female vocals on it, and no one has a clear credit list for the woman either singing with him or adlibs attached. Maybe one of us can come through on a relevant discovery. Is it even possible?

Incredible song, written and performed by Johnny Bristol -- as fresh and magical as it was the day I first heard it in 1974, at age 16.
I loved this song from the first time I heard it. Back in the 70's.
I love how back in the day they were able to sing about sex in such an intimate way. No crassness or foul language just two people engaged in a conversation as they make love for the very first time. Perfect.
How did I miss y’all’s reaction to one of my most favorite songs EVER! Such an underrated song and singer.
I'm 60 years old I've never seen a more handsome man in my life 😍 💃🏿 RIP Johnny 🙏🏾
Yep..same. He and Johnny Nash. I don't think he had natural stage presence, but who cares! ❤
His great grandsons Are just as handsome... My son's!!
A legend in his own right 🎼🎼🎼

OMG who ever thought of this one, thank you !! I had totally forgotten all about it and I loved this song !!
I was so hoping someone would react to this ,I remember this song well great dance music
Thanks for the awesome review of my grandfather. He was a true talent 💕
🫶🏾 Johnny Bristol & Johnny Nash were my teenage crushes 😍
Fantastic,! I've loved this song from when I was a teenager in 74, amazing people can listen to him forever
Orchestration, musicianship and writing were impeccable. Thought it was a Barry White production when I first heard it.
Best reaction to one of the most classic under rated songs ever made.
Johnny took a slice out the Barry White love unlimited orchestra.
THIS SONG TRANSCENDS TIME... JOHNNY BRISTOL WAS A MAGNIFICENT VOICE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED...IN MY OPINION..
100 YEARS FROM NOW IT WILL STILL BE A HIT AS WHEN I HEARD IT FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 1974..THE ARTISTS OF TODAY... CANT TOUCH JOHNNY BRISTOL...
Some songs you just feel, this is one of those songs for me…it’s one of my all time favorites. I think it hit BJ the same way 😂
WOW keep the classic soul sounds comin. This was the best music of the 60’s & 70’s
Definitely so vibrant ,energetic dancing at my local disco
Ohhhhh…I absolutely love this…didn’t discover this until it was in the movie “54”..may have just been in the extended version of the film..anyway, it’s not on the double cd soundtrack…bummed about that…but this is my jam….I was born the year it came out..you two are the best !

Blast from the past. Love hearing it again.

One of my favourite songs from my youth👌
love, love, love this song....also Someday, we'll be together and What does it take......love his music
NOTHING touches that era,NOTHING.
100%
One of my favorites ❤️😘
The beginning of the disco era was actually incredibly romantic. It’s hard to do a song which is romantic, yet danceable!
I still love and listen to this song!
Great tune! I always felt a Barry White vibe in this.
One of the most underrated musicians ever. The man never missed!
When life was simpler and freer!
Now this is a classic
Didn't know he sang this but I've definitely heard it before and I just love the smooth vibes❤️❤️
It's so good!
REAL music.
you might have heard the song " You and I " another big one for him, around the same time...74- 75
Absolutely fantastic
You two are hilarious!!!
I think you will also like "Rock Me Gently" by Andy Kim, and "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott.
Love your reactions, here's a band that will BLOW YOUR MIND! Their name is MOTHER'S FINEST and they have the ABSOLUTE GREATEST FEMALE ROCK SINGER EVER and I do mean EVER! React to their song titled TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE make sure it's the album version and GET READY!
Very true! Joyce Kennedy is something else...
@@ErikJan4242 In her prime she had an untouchable set of pipes! Can't believe more people aren't listening and reacting to their music?!
"What are you doing! "Lmao😅😅
BJ resembles Johnny Bristol. So handsome.
Got that BARRY WHITE feel 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 for the nighttime playlist 😉
Oh yes definitely!!
If you liked that try this Duet Version Johnny Bristol & Alton McClain - Hang On In There Baby, Quality Tune Thanks For Sharing
he wrote a lot of songs back in the day.
I jam to this with my Dad in the car ✌️ ❤️ 🇬🇧
Car karaoke is a must 😊
BJ is right, be nice to his romantic heart. It's for you.
Listen to it live .
Love love this!!!
Do not know why this gem does not receive more respect/attention/air play as one of the sweetest sexiest most seductive soul songs of all time!
I was waiting and requested this song to other reaction channels and finally ,it's a bloody brilliant song,
Ok I knew this one was gonna be great! You guys didn’t disappoint me! BJ is serious too and little Asia just sittin there being a doll lol (I’ve had the flu all week! These videos have saved me!)
Y'all need to listen to Pillowtalk by Sylvia! And I love, love, love Johnny Bristol!
This is My Son's Great Grandfather.... Semaj Bristol-Case and Marcell Bristol -Case... I had them keep his last name and add mine... In his memory
This brother wrote hits for Junior Walker & The All-Stars
He sounds like Luther vandross to me but it is a good smooth slow dancing making out kind of music thank you for your reaction
Great song, but the musical arrangement always reminded me of Barry Whites Love Unlimited Orchestra, especially Loves Theme.
Hip Hop & Rap can go down the toilet with Punk Rock and deliver us from evil with the return of Soul and R & B❗♥️❗
I think after this you should react to. Step by Step by Joe Simon.
You guys thinking of Berry White I believe. Johnny Bristol only had this as his only hit.
Does this song remind anyone else of Barry White and the Love unlimited Orchestra's "Love's Theme"
Yep..the strings in particular
Would love to see you guys react to "Cold Little Heart" by Michael Kiwanuka
Girlfriend ain't feeling it like brotherman. Johnny Bristol was a great songwriter before stepping out to do his solo music.
Smooth voice and great motown beat.
Yes yes yes
React to Teddy Pandergrass-The whole town laughing at me
The culture has devolved Johnny Bristol proves that. Thanks jews.
The re-edited version has female vocals on it, and no one has a clear credit list for the woman either singing with him or adlibs attached. Maybe one of us can come through on a relevant discovery. Is it even possible?
Holà you two. If you want to Grove then check out Bernard Wright it will move you. Songs called who do you love. You won't regret it
Check out Anything You Want by Earth Wind and Fire 🔥
Asia, you're lovely, but honestly, can you not put your lip gloss on BEFORE you start recording the video?
😂
Nice
Eminem-Biterphobia
This song is musical sex.
