Elvin Bishop was the guitarist in this band. The lead vocalist, Mickey Thomas, is one of the great, underrated vocalists of his time. If you want to hear how awesome he was as a singer, react to "Jane" by Jefferson Starship.
great suggestion ... absolute must.
💯
Or listen to "It's Not Enough" ..
No. He is not underrated by anyone that has listened to pop music over the last 4 or 5 decades
@@axetu true-not underrated. Maybe under ppls radar today is all
I kinda feel sorry for some of the younger generations because they are missing out on some of the greatest music in history. Thank you for not closing your eyes or your mind to such truly great music! 👍
It's their own choice.
So true Brother!
Truth.
I agree!
The Midnight Special is where it all went down!!!
My First Concert. 1975
Elvin Bishop.
I was 14.
My date, Brenda Brown, was 17.🥰
I was a Lucky boy!
Met at "Church camp"!😁😏
This song was the highlight of the night. Wonderful time!
Me without a car yet, her, 50 miles away.
So sad, it didnt last.😕
Broke my Heart, so far in the past.
How the years have flashed by so quickly dear Brenda!
I'll always hold a special place in my Heart for the brief, Wonderful moments we shared!🥰
Micky Thomas was Amazing, Live, 10 feet from us!👍
What a Time that was to be Alive!
Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖
The 70's was a magical time for music, we had the Commodores, then Elton John, the the Ohio Players and Led Zeppelin...you name it we had it. Miss it... ; )
Totally Totally Totally agree! The 70's without a doubt was simply the greatest period for music "of all kinds" the world has ever seen!!!
You forgot to mention the kinks
@@billhill4929 The Kinks, Queensryche, Foreigner... incredibly diverse music scene. We were very fortunate
@@p.h.5752Styx,Blue Oyster Cult ,Yes ,Bad Co,Moody Blues ,Alice Cooper,Grand Funk Railroad,Stones,Pink Floyd,The Who , The Animals ,CCR, Foriegner,Journey,Rod Stewart and Faces,Guess Who ,BTO, Beach Boys, Bob Seeger and Siver Bullitt Band,Black Sabbath,On and on!
I was a teenager in the 70s and the Midnight Special had so many great bands.
Do you remember night flight tv show pre mtv
Girl,I think you can sing a bit too.
All the best groups were on
H&O ❤
yeah before MTV of you wanted to see your fav rock bands on tv it was midnight special or Don Kirshner's rock concert.
Hi Britt, Back in the day, singers & groups had to perform "LIVE" on The Midnight Special and this showed the world whether you were good or not; there was no lip-syncing or hiding behind your studio recordings and definitely no auto-tune!!! Needless to say, if you performed well on the show your record sales would skyrocket; but if you performed poorly your record sales would tank!!! In other words they had to deliver the goods!!! Thanks for this reaction too, because as you can see & hear Elvin Bishop & his band did their thing!!!
There were many great live performances on music shows back then. We were spoiled.
Yes. "Midnight Special" baby. Great old memories.
Love The Midnight Special. Mom and Dad would let me stay up late to watch it. Check out Manfred Mann, Blinded by the light on Midnight Special...they nailed it.
@@dougtaylor2803 I Love that song!
Right on showed their stuff live great memories damn miss those days enjoy 😊😊😊😊
Just love when youngins finally hear our music............
This lead singer is from my hometown, Cairo Georgia, he’s still got it !
#Mickey
I remember watching this. Mickey Thomas the singer joined Jefferson starship after this smash hit. Elvin Bishop is the guitar player. The midnight special with Wolfman jack. Was the MTV of my generation. Was the only way we got to see a band. Pre internet. After midnight special My favorite show with the harder bands came on called Don Kirshner's Rock Concert🤘🤘🤘
63 years old here. You nailed how it was back in the day.
I'm 57 and i used to stay up to see both of those shows. Sat morning cartoons & late nite music !
@@rogerdaly6326 yep that was it .younger People still can't believe that television went off the air at night.. That was one of the only night it stayed on late. Lol. And I noticed that it's. Called the midnight special now. They leave out Wolfman Jack...lol
@@kd8199 well there were appearances by bands on other shows but not like those late night shows mentioned earlier. but they did appear on variety shows like Sonny and Cher and Smothers Brothers, even on American Bandstand.
@@rogerdaly6326 Sat morning cartoons were a huge thing back then. The new fall season premieres was like Christmas to me.
Yes, you're so right, the 70's was "The BOMB" decade for music and there were so many soulful singers during that time too!!!
One of the best songs ever written. Just trickles down right to your soul. Late 70's had some of the most phenomenal music, in every genre imaginable.
Elvin Bishop is so underrated as a blues guitarist.
Mickey Thomas has serious chops. Don't think he got as much recognition for it as he deserves. If you want the hear another great song that showcases his voice. Listen to the studio version of Jane from Jefferson Starship, which was the band he later fronted after The Elvin Bishop Group. Incredible.
So agree! Everyone likes to mention Steve Perry, but I think Mickey is overlooked and belongs in the conversation as one of the greatest singers ever
Yes indeed. Jane is a monster song.
I love how Mickey Thomas simply walked away from the mic after he was done singing. Mic drop. Basically saying, "Oh yeah, I'm bad." "I know it." Absolutely incredible!!!
Elvin Bishop Band ,he is the guitar lead you see. He wrote Fooled Around and Fell in Love. Bishop ; feeling that his gravelly voice wouldn't do the song justice, invited Mickey Thomas, ,a background singer in his band to sing it. Mickey Thomas still sings this song in every Starship concert and still sounds this good I am told, the pride of Cairo, Georgia. Reni Slais is the Rainbow girl who punches it up. Southern Rock had its zenith 70s-80s Allman Bros, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. If you want to continue this groove Marshall Tucker Band "Can't You See". Love your bright , insightful and upbeat reactions.
Mickey had one of the best voices in rock. He had to to sing lead for Starship. Check out the song "Jane" for another great example of his singing. And yeah girl the 70's was the best time to be a young person. Great music, muscle cars, bellbottoms and silk shirts.
Yep bellbottoms. Then the super bells. I bought me some really nice Anaconda snake skin boots. My dad ask me why did you buy such nice boots nobody can see them because of your pants..lol
@@SIR-DanielHunterplatform Shoes and Dingo Boots!
Wallabies
Just saw Mickey Thomas a couple of months ago! He still sounds just as fresh today as he did back then!
Elvin on Guitar, Mickey Thomas on Vocals, He was in the group Starship we built this City on Rock and Roll,
I grew up as a kid in the 70's... It was such a cool time....The singers actually could sing too. They needed zero electronics to help their voices...
70's was the best for everything!!!!!!
I grew up in the 60's and 70's a lot of great music, bee gees, KC and the sunshine band, steely Dan so many more lots o fun
Love your enthusiasm! And yes, nothing compares to the 70s! Imagine listening to all these great hits on the radio! ❤️
The singer, Mickey Thomas, went on to Jefferson Starship. "Jane" by the Starship really shows off his vocal skills.
Agreed! My favorite song of any of the Jefferson Airplane / Starship hits - 'Jane' !
Soaring vocals and some killer guitar riffs!
Hey Brit great reaction! Seventies baby here It It was a great time to be a kid. The music the movies the vibe Was just awesome. Didn't have to worry about a lot of stuff you have to worry about today. The older I get the more I miss that time period.
I wish I was a 70s kid!!!
This is facts.
Yes I totally agree with you I really believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days. Such a fun time to grow up back then I miss those days now more than ever before 🤔
@@frankrizzo4460 Agreed the only thing I Would change Is having the life experience I have now back then lol! Would have been really fun lol!
😢 I know how you feel I’m 73 years old and I hate the fact that I have to get ready for a civil fucking war
Was 28 when this was a hit remember holding my baby girl and dancing 🕺 around with her to this. At 74 this is still a good time 👵❤️
The beauty of the 60's and 70's is there were 100's of bands and songs that were barely talked about because there were SOOOOOO many of them, there wasnt enough time and room... very sad.
This is of those Summer classics that brings me back to my youth. The guitar solo never gets old.
I miss it soooooooo bad!!!!
I was 14 in 1980 and the 70’s was amazing Britt, you would have loved it. I would have taken you to the lake and we would have had an amazing time lol.
😂😂😂😂
Every time I hear this song. It breaks my heart. Very nostalgic. It always sound so fresh. It is one those songs I never get tired of hearing
But why does it break your heart?
Embrace it!
@@billhill4929 it reminds me of a broken relationship
Take a deep breath, and then be happy!
Can't stop watching. Great song !! Reni Slais, puts her heart and soul, into every performance too.
Midnight special was a tv show you could watch all the current acts on ! And yes it came on at midnight !
Great reaction !
May Gods Blessings be with you !
Mickey Thomas lead singer, he was also a member of Jefferson Starship... check out their song "Jane" if you want to hear Mickey belt-out more of those sweet vocals 🙂
The word is”soul”. These songs just have SOUL!
I did grow up in the 70s. 60s-70s, best music era hands down. Loved watching the Midnight Special and you couldn't lip-sync on that show.
*I was 7 years old when this came out. I didn't become familiar with it until a few years later. Once I made it to middle school it had become a well known song for slow dancing.*
I have such a special memory of slow dancing to this in a bar late at night after working the evening shift. We played it over and over on the “ juke box” until the bartender said enough already. Great song but let it rest a few he said. Yes, I am old, 68 , was in my early twenties at the time. Robin Bishop was great and this song made me a huge Mickey Thomas fan forever. Elvin said he could not do justice to the lead on this song so he tapped Mickey.
Yep 70s was the all time greatest time for music no matter what you were into
were great days and this song like so many others have stood the test of time.... hard to believe it's almost 50 years
The 70s has the music ever made,its all real singers. Too many bands to name.The studio version is really good too.
Mickey's voice hasn't changed much over the years.
This song is one of my all-time favorites. It's well written, well produced, etc. But with Elvin's guitar work and Mickey Thomas wailing on the vocals, it's just perfect.
Mickey Thomas was the most underrated singer of all time as Elvin Bishop was one of the most underrated guitar players ever.... Whenever I hear this it brings back bittersweet memories of my first love in 1975 .... sadly she is gone as is our youth but this brings it back even if only for a short time....
Charlie Daniels - Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play
I love you ,I'm 59 a 70s child , couldn't live without the radio and new all the songs. I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite Australian Artists, Russell Morris, Sweet Sweet Love.Yes I am an Aussie, and I feel like we are two of a kind.love your reactions and I love you, Gail
Any group that was on the midnight special was fantastic!
Girl you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The great Elvin Bishop
The ‘70’s were the best…great clothes and great music new every single week - artists wanted to make their own distinct mark… we were free range children
I can’t explain what this song does for me, this performance in particular. This wasn’t my era either but I can certainly appreciate Mr. Bishop. Those breaks, as you said, they’re amazing. It gives nostalgia in all the right ways.
The song was released Feb 76, the month we met. We met at work that month, spent an afternoon alone, and moved in together a week later. 47 yrs ago. This is still our song. It's a real thing, y'all
I interviewed Ozzy Osbourne in a Hollywood bistro in 1979. After, we waited at the curb, for our ride back to the record company. While waiting, Ozzy spontaneously burst into singing, “I must’ve been through about a million girls…” I cracked up and asked if he was an Elvin Bishop fan and he just shrugged, “Who’s that?” Anyway… I may be the only one in the world who has heard Ozzy sing this song.
Micky can sing his ass off, effortlessly cranking the notes.
The man playing the guitar is Elvin Bishop!!!!!!!!!
If you love the 70's check out Grand Funk Railroad - "We're an American Band (1973 Studio Footage)" also Grand Funk Railroad "Some Kind of Wonderful".
LOVE LOVE Mickey Thomas!! Vocals and all!! Wish I could have been born a bit sooner, I would have hunted him out...LOL Seriously though, great under rated singer. We saw them in Clearwater a few weeks ago and he still has it!!!!!
My friends tell me I have a head full of useless musical knowledge, lol it does an old guy much joy to see young folks discover good music.
Britt I grew up in the 60s and the 70s (my wife I graduated from the same high school in 1977). The Midnight Special was a great way to hear and see a band perform live before investing time and money getting a ticket for their concert arrived in your home town. I fooled around and fell in love with my best friend, and we are still together!
This is a special one because they are performing live. You nailed it; he's really good live.
He's Mickey Thomas, guitar is Elvin
Jane by Jefferson Starship is another great Mickey song
The 70's were a special time for music. Musicians played their own instruments, & wrote most of their own music. Vocals were sung without the aid of auto tune. We had vinyl, 8-tracks, & cassettes. I largely grew up in Augusta. There was a Mexican restaurant called Sancho's Taco on the south side, off of the Gordon Highway, that we would go to. We would get a pitcher of ice cold beer, which was served in a glass pitcher & heavy glass beer mugs to go with our tacos. (By the way, the legal age back then was 18. In high school, the students were permitted to smoke outside of the building.) Sancho's had a Wurlitzer juke box, & Fooled Around & Fell In Love was on it. We played it every time we stopped in. Good times & good memories of an era now long past.
Mickey Thomas is the singer.....Elvin Bishop on Guitar
Mickey Th9mas,with Elvin Bishop,and his band were phenomenal! This is my favorite song of all time! Tuvm
You brought up skating ring music. Yes in deed this song was on every Saturday night at skating ring. Also Marshall Tucker Band. "Heard it in a love song" I was the king of the ring in the day. 😎😅
This is ELVIN BISHOP, who plays the red guitar, and Mickey Thomas sings. Later in his career Mickey also sang with Grace Slick in JEFFERSON STARSHIP and STARSHIP.
What a voice!!! Great concert too!!
Good song from the good times.
Born in 57 ,Grew up in 60’-70’s just Great Music and Cars !!
Mickey Thomas (the male singer) was born in 1949. I saw him a few years ago in Starship as they opened for Boston. I actually went to see Boston and I saw that Mickey was going to sing and I thought it would just be another old-guy performance but he stole the show and hasn't lost any of his power or ability.
I was 17 with that song come out and I still remember the girl that I sent it to wonderful time to be alive
"Fooled Around and Fell in Love" is a song written and performed by blues guitarist Elvin Bishop with Mickey Thomas on lead vocals. Of Starship. I saw him at Disney every year with Starship. He was much older and hit every single note. You should look up from his stuff from Starship.
Gosh I haven’t heard this song in such a long time! Love the reaction! We had such great music when I was a teenager
Britt, WHAT A REACTION TO THIS SONG! You were all the way invested in this song! I LOVE IT! I also love the fact that you are a true music connoisseur! Talking about the brakes where the drums came in. You pay a lot of attention to ALL the little details. Others may notice, but you speak right up to them. How refreshing to find others like myself that are into the ENTIRITY of the song. YOU FLAT OUT ROCK, YOUNG LADY! Keep them good vibes coming!
Elvin Bishop is the guitarist and Mickey Thompson is the lead singer and yes, he was a gospel singer in his youth. Mickey went on to sing for Jefferson Starship / Starship.
I grew up in the 70's, played in a bar band while in HS... the 70's is the best. Like you, the best.
That’s Mickey Thomas. That man has a gold voice from god him self. So many great hits from him.
Listen to "Jane" by Jefferson Starship. Mickey Thomas is a spectacular singer. Extremely underrated.
Oh yes Britt. I grew up in the seventies. The music back then was so memorable. You had such a variety of genres of music.
I love this ! I was 18 years old when this song came out !!!!!!
Mickey Thomas can just flat sing!
Your reaction and comments were spot on Britt! You brought back so many memories for me since I did live through the 70's! Fabulous!
Just recently discovered your channel and I love it!
This makes me think of when I worked in a store just after high school. This song was constantly on the store radio. I was seeing someone. Cindy was seeing someone. One day the song came on. She looked at me and i looked at her. Then we fooled around and fell in love.
Happy memories.
Takes me right back to 1974 jr. high school, this song was on the charts for a LONG time! Mickey Thomas...great vocalist, don't know why he doesn't get the credit he deserves??
I grew up in the 70's and it was a blast! Best music and fun times!
Mickey Thomas was outstanding and Elvin Bishop on guitar was incredible.
LOL I slow danced to this song so many times at high school dances before I graduate in 1979. Awesome memories :)
This song is like a perfect composition. It's so well done.
I agree with you that 70s music is great. Technically, I'd probably start collecting songs around 1967 and might pick some from just over the line into the 80s, but yeah ... the 70s would be my sweet spot. :)
Mickey F’n Thomas. Gotta listen to Jane by Jefferson Starship
The best thing about the Midnight Special was that the artist performed live every time.
Grew up in the 70’s! Yes ma’am! You can’t beat the 70’s and 80’s music! Real talent!!!
Mickey Thomas is my fav. Singer. Check him out with Jefferson Starship with the song “Jane”. You’ll love it guaranteed!
You have a great singing voice, I hope to see more of you singing😀
Excellent choice!! One of the great songs!!
Skinny little dude with a big voice. So rock and roll. The backup singer has very good mic awareness. Always loved this tune. Great, earnest reaction.
i suggest you listen the the song Jane sung by Mickey Thomas. this is when he was with the band Jefferson Starship
Orange Cassidy!
Good call on the Motown sound! Just do all videos from the Midnight Special series. 70's really is the greatest decade of music.
This is one of my absolute favorites
I actually watched the Midnight Special episode back in the 70's with my wife. I was 23 at the time. When you're young you stay up later. I loved the girl too and I've seen her before with another group. Thanks Britt!
I was a kid and a young teen in the 70s and it’s my favourite era of music! I wish so much we had this kind of amazing music around today. I walk around in stores & hear the music or hear it on the radio and most of it I find so boring and numbing. This song was amazing and he has an amazing voice
Proud to say Mickey is from my hometown! Great talent!
He is one of the best singers in Rock/Soul.
This song was a big part of the roller rink soundtrack when I was a kid :)
Oh yeah! Skating was such a thing in the 70s and 80s. Lol. I could never do it well
