Dennis De Young was the lead singer but there was also James Young and Tommy Shaw who had lead vocals, but when those three guys sang in harmony they were freaking awesome
Actually Tommy Shaw was also considered a lead singer. He sang many of their songs. But the REALLY interesting songs were the few with JY. His voice is definitely different!
All the internal drama with the band aside, Dennis De Young has one of the greatest voices in rock. They actually shared lead vocals between Dennis, James Young and Tommy Shaw. They all have very different vocal styles. Compare this with Boat on the River and then Miss America.
Lady came out in 1973 Try the song LOVE IS THE ANSWER By England dan and John ford Coley,, From 1979 , Its very up lifting ,,,,The world needs to hear this message ,,,ENJOY
I agree Miss America is good crank it to 11 song...and Boat on the river is a great choice...but there are a ton of great songs from this band...got to see them back in the mid 70's, they put on one hell of a show...and it was rather fragrant too, if I recall...Rock ON!!!
Styx keyboard player Dennis DeYoung wrote this song about his wife Suzanne, who was his high school sweetheart and a true "lady" who carried herself with class. Other songs he wrote about her include "Babe" and "The Best Of Times." DeYoung's marriage endured, even through a late '90s health scare that ended his time with the band. He has often exclaimed how much he loves her and what an important part of his life she is. Dennis DeYoung wrote this song in 1972, but Styx' record company rejected it for their first album, which was released that year. It was included on their second album, Styx II, in 1973 and released as a single, but it went nowhere. According to DeYoung, radio stations didn't know how to classify it, since it started slow and then picked up. It was only through the efforts of a very persistent DJ on WLS in Chicago (the band's hometown) that the song got its due. Determined to make it a hit, he played the song every night at 8 p.m., until it caught on. It did, and other stations added it to their playlists (when DeYoung first heard it on the radio, he choked on his dinner he was so excited). It wasn't until March 1975 that the song reached its chart peak of #6, giving them their breakout hit.
I'm in music heaven right now. Styx and the Doobie Brothers all in one day. Great reactions that made my day! Styx had 3 lead singers. In this song, it was Dennis DeYoung. Tommy Shaw and James Young also shared in doing lead vocals for different songs. All are very talented and worth the listen.
I was very lucky to see them in concert in 1977. They were so good. They sounded just like their recordings. They can all sing but Dennis DeYOung has such a powerful voice!!❤❤❤❤
Now imagine being a teenager in the 70s and hearing the original version of this song. So different from everything else at the time, an instant classic! Made me a Styx fan for life.
Just stay in the 70's and your life will be some much more enhanced, enlightened, joyous, HAPPIER. The greatest decade of music is the 70's. Great great great era of music!
Well....they had 3 singers. This one is Dennis DeYoung. Same as with Come Sail Away and Babe (that I think you did on your channel). Tommy Shaw has a number of popular songs and also has an amazing voice: Blue Collar Man, Crystal Ball, and my personal favorite Man In the Wilderness.
Great rock band from the 70's-80's. They had so many great songs such as "Lorelei", "Suite Madame Blue", "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", "The Best Of Times", "Too Much Time On My Hands", "Mr. Roboto", "Show Me The Way", "Don't Let It End" etc.
Dennis DeYoung is belting this out (still sounds like this now at 75 years old) but James Young and Tommy Shaw also sang lead for several of their hits.
I was born in January 1970. I grew up, listening to Styx. My mother was a huge Styx fan, and I feel like this band is extremely underrated. such an amazing band such an amazing time. I feel blessed that I grew up during this time when music was truly unbelievable.
My wife is a huge Styx fan from even before we were together in high school…..I am also a fan….the first two albums I ever bought were Styx. After many decades since we were young, we found each other on social media and began communicating again…..this was the first song I sent to her in that process and the chorus is her ringtone.
at first i thought you mean "Light Up" cuz all I thought of was Journey with "lights" then I remember there was a song on Conerstone album called Lights. I had to go back and listen to it - hadn't heard that album in a long while. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
When I was growing up about 2 hours outside of Chicago, the big station we all listened to was WLS-FM, an huge AM station that we could pick up 2 hours away. In the early 70's, they started playing, "LADY" in constant rotation. Well at the time , no one knew who STYX was at the time. They were on a tiny label called WOODEN NICKEL records and were total nobodies, but this song launched them. My favorite album is still "EQUINOX"
Back in the 80’s all these band where called singer / song writer bands This is why they were so great. THEY HAD TO KNOW HOW TO SING , WRITE MUSIC, PLAY INSTRUMENTS ETC
Wife here..Ahhhh.., you two always have the most AMAZING selection.!!.Saw these guys in 2001 with Eddie Money and REO Speedwagon..(Awesome)..Probably my favorite rock song of all time..!! Lots of internal trouble in this band pertaining to the direction the band was heading.."Hot and Flustered".."Temperature of Love"..U2 always ADORABLE!!!..
Asia, lead singer on this song is Dennis DeYoung who wrote this song for his wife Suzanne (also the 1979 hit "Babe" was written for her). Theirs is one of rock and roll's great love stories. They were high school sweethearts and married in 1970 and are still married today. This is one of Styx earliest hits and still one of my favorite songs of theirs. I love how it starts out as a sweet ballad and builds in intensity until it ends as an all-out banger.
Styx is touring with REO Speedwagon and Loverboy right now- we’re bringing our kids (age 19 and 21) in September! They like a lot of the 80’s music- should be fun!
Great song and another great reaction! I saw Styx play this live at a high school in Chicago in 1974. Tickets were $1.50. Still one of the best concerts I’ve seen. A hidden gem from them is “Little Fugue in G/Father O.S.A.” Definitely Worth a listen & reaction. Cheers! 😎🎶❤️
Dennis DeYoungs voice is iconic! What a voice. He and Steve Perry from Journey had this clarity and range that set them about from so many really good singers. They are an under rated band. I love their music. And the harmonies are out of this world.
The lead singer is Dennis DeYoung. He wrote and sang seven out of eight of Styx's top ten hits. This was their first top ten hits and put Styx on the map. You listened to the greatest hits re-recording but you should try the original from Styx II. It has more "growl" to it.
Came into UA-cam, saw your line-up and jumped on this one first. Purely because of Dennis's voice. That, the harmonies and the piano are just bliss. I've tired of a lost of music over the years... but it ain't this. ❤
got its start in 1972 in Chicago. One of the most popular rock bands of the 70's and 80's. Should also give a listen to "Babe" which he wrote relating to his missing his wife when the band was on the road.
50 years as a band. One of the greatest American rock n roll bands ever. Listen to Mr roboto, lights, rockin the paradise (their best song). The original version of this was released in 1972 and was a b-side to a 45. I don't remember the single that was released but it wasn't doing anything until some local DJ in Chicago flipped it over and started playing Lady and as they say the rest is history
Been waiting for some STyX. This one was way too short. That means you have to do more : )). Go for the live versions from the Return to Paradise - 1996 live stuff... Fooling yourself, Sweet Madame blue, Crystal ball, Snow blind, etc...Way too good !!!
Styx was a "garage band" in the Chicago south suburbs who would play anywhere and everywhere, trying to make it big. As an example, they played at my Catholic grade school for about a $1 in 1973. People started calling into WLS and WCFL in Chicago, requesting the song. It took 2 more years, but they made it big and never looked back.
You two are hilarious and great together. This song is one of the best to send to your lady…especially if you really love her. Great song and great reaction!
I saw Styx live 4 times in the late 70's early 80's. One of my favorites. That's Dennis DeYoung singing. Tommy Shaw sang lead for a lot of their songs as well. You should check out "Suite Madam Blue" & "Crystal Ball" next. I saw you already reacted to "Renegade", which is also one of my favorites. Keep the Styx coming!
Believe it or not, they sounded this good live. Tommy Shaw's vocals are just as good in a different way. He does amazing on Crystal Ball. You guys should give that one a try.
I absolutely love Styx!! Beautiful!! Older rock and roll music has some of the best lyrics when you listen to it. They talk about sweet love not sex and violence. They bring out all those vibes that you get when you're in love with someone from the beginning.. the butterflies in the stomach kind of thing. We don't hear that today in the music maybe that's why rock and roll will always be here.. BTW you guys are adorable together don't ever do anything to lose that vibe between you it is never worth it..
Their lead singer was Denis DeYoung. This was the song that launched what is now 50 years of Styx. They still tour (without Denis) and still sound amazing. GO if they are near you!
I've seen Styx a couple of times over the last few years. No Dennis, but still fantastic vocals from Tommy Shaw and James Young (who sang many of their songs anyway) not to mention their guitar playing and solo's are as great as ever!
@@alkronlage5236 I've seen Styx with and without Dennis....Laurence is a better front man than Dennis and has an amazing voice and is a fantastic pianist. They STILL kill it every time I see them. PS....Todd Sucherman is one of the greatest drummers EVER!
@@alkronlage5236 - I have been a fan of Styx since 1975. You don't know what you are talking about. JY didn't sing any of their top 40 hits. The only ones of his that charted were on the rock charts not the Billboard Hot 100. Name one song he sang other than Miss America and Snowblind (the only one released on the Rock charts that reach 22 and he shared vocals with Tommy because Dennis, who cowrote the song, thought Tommy should take lead.) Dennis DeYoung's vocals and songwriting are the only reason you know of Styx. Tommy Shaw wasn't even on the first five albums or two of their top ten hits. Anyone who disrespects Dennis DeYoung is not a fan of Styx, he is the reason Styx exists.
I saw Styx in 1975 at the Montreal forum. They opened for bad company and blew them off the stage. AND, bad company is one of my favorite bands but Styx were amazing. They are also a band I hold close to my heart. Thanks a million for your review!!!!
Stxy is a great band everybody that knows this band has a favorite member,mine is Tommy Shaw guitarist and CO lead vocals Many wonderful songs by them.I know everybody has surely already told y'all.Nice reaction.Ty for sharing your music journey
I just want you guys to know that you make me smile everyday! BJ I love how you grabbed Asia’s hand and made the cutest face. Keep on being beautiful people!!!!
Classical piano…..beautiful intro…..love tenors…..whole band of em right here! ❤️🎼🎶❤️Dennis DeYoung- also did theatre- he was Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway. Tommy Shaw is the other vocalist, he sings Blue Collar Man, for comparison.👍😎
Dennis DeYoung along with the harmonies of Tommy and James were a magical combo and they reached the pinnacle of music when they got along in peace. Though good at times later especially their last couple of albums they just lack that special magic that once existed a long time ago. BJ I think the ladies like a cool dry hand not hot wet and clamy!🤪👍🏻❤️☮️🎤🎹
Dennis De Young was their main lead vocalist and keyboard player…..Tommy Shaw and James Young also did lead vocals. Yes….Dennis is a phenomenal singer!
2nd group I fell in love with when I started listening to music (1st was Supertramp). But if you want another amazing love ballad try "I Love You" by Climax Blues Band.
The reason they called it "Lady '95" (for those curious) was they re-recorded it, when their original Record label Wooden Nickel wanted an excess amount of money, to include it on a Greatest Hits album. So, they did an end around.
This song was written as an anniversary gift to his wife. They are still married, today.
The only long lasting relationship Dennis had it seems
Moral of the story,men,always sing love songs to your lady!🎙🎶💞💋
Dennis De Young was the lead singer but there was also James Young and Tommy Shaw who had lead vocals, but when those three guys sang in harmony they were freaking awesome
Recommend Come Sail Away next then Fooling Yourself which features Tom Shaw
Not to mention Glen Burtnik who replaced Tommy while he was off touring with Damn Yankees.
To be clear, Tommy was not part of the band at the Time of this song. He’s not singing on this recording.
Actually Tommy Shaw was also considered a lead singer. He sang many of their songs. But the REALLY interesting songs were the few with JY. His voice is definitely different!
@@Saldarya he was not on the original recording but this is the version they re-recorded for the greatest hits album and he is singing on this
Asia & BJ, you’ll love their "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", “"The Best of Times" and “"Too Much Time on My Hands"!!!
And...Loreli and Crystal Ball!!
Lady came out in 1973 Man the 70s were Fantastic
All the internal drama with the band aside, Dennis De Young has one of the greatest voices in rock. They actually shared lead vocals between Dennis, James Young and Tommy Shaw. They all have very different vocal styles. Compare this with Boat on the River and then Miss America.

I thought this song came out in 1975, I remember my teenage uncle at the time, blasting the song on his room stereo.
3 different lead singers is a recipe for a band to break up, especially when all are good
Boat on the River is such an underrated song. It never gets enough appreciation!

Saw them in 81!!!
They reacted to it, 8 months ago.. 7 months since I was slow..
Styx had there best years ever in the 70s
Holding hands is such a small gesture but it brought a tear to my eye . so romantic .
I love a true love song. No raunch just beautiful lyrics professing his love.
Styx could sing. They were Beatles freaks. They had great songs & great vocals & could rock when they needed it.
Now imagine being a teenager in the 70s and hearing the original version of this song. So different from everything else at the time, an instant classic! Made me a Styx fan for life.
Saw them in 81!! It was incredible!!

Great great great era of music!
My husband used to play this song all the time while we were dating.... 41 years ago.
He still does sometimes. He's such a romantic.
Lucky girl! My husband is the same way. Treasure it, I know I do...
This song is just simply stunning and beautiful.
Well....they had 3 singers. This one is Dennis DeYoung. Same as with Come Sail Away and Babe (that I think you did on your channel).

High School right here! 40 years ago. Love it today like I did back then.
Oh man, great song! His voice is golden thru and thru. It’s a beautiful written and executed song. Bravo!💜🎵💜
that is why the Beatles wrote.... 'I wanna hold your hand'!!
Styx is my all time favorite band, showing my age. Seen them in concert 11 times and wanting more.
My wife is a huge Styx fan from even before we were together in high school…..I am also a fan….the first two albums I ever bought were Styx.
After many decades since we were young, we found each other on social media and began communicating again…..this was the first song I sent to her in that process and the chorus is her ringtone.
"LIGHTS" Is another incredible song from Styx...!
"Sweet Madam Blue", "Why Me", "I'm OK", "The Best Of Times", "Snowblind"....
at first i thought you mean "Light Up" cuz all I thought of was Journey with "lights" then I remember there was a song on Conerstone album called Lights. I had to go back and listen to it - hadn't heard that album in a long while. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
@@Frostrazor You bet. Great song..!
(Journey's Lights as well)
I saw Dennis deyoung in concert a couple of years ago and he was singing this dancing with his wife. It was so sweet.
Young people so blessed to get access to 70 years of fantastic music and that doesn't even count classical and opera.Glad you appreciate it!

Equinox is great album. Suite Madam Blue is one of my favs in top 3.
My fav album though is Grand Illusion, followed by Crystal Ball.
I married April 18 1980 this song was our wedding song ! Now we have 2 sons many grand kids 2 daughter In laws and a great life so yeah great song !!

If you want to hear something by Styx that is rocking,yet mysterious,try Castle Walls!🏰🎶
Dennis De Young is still married to his wife who wrote this for way back when. Pretty cool.
Welcome aboard,youngsters! Styx is one of my favorite bands from the 70's and 80's. Styx had several outstanding albums and many hit songs.

Lady is from 1973

Beautifully describes the Lady right ther next to you, young man😘😘🥰

This was the first of many hits by Styx.
1:54: "Sparkling, clear and lovely".......Must've had Miss Asia in mind when this was written.
Their First Hit !!! Classic !
Dennis DeYoungs voice is iconic! What a voice. He and Steve Perry from Journey had this clarity and range that set them about from so many really good singers.
They are an under rated band. I love their music. And the harmonies are out of this world.
Saw them in 81!!! Just fantastic!!!
I've seen Styx three times in Billings Montana! blew my mind they're so good live😁
“Too much time on my Hands” my favorite song by Styx!!!! Great band
The lead singer is Dennis DeYoung. He wrote and sang seven out of eight of Styx's top ten hits. This was their first top ten hits and put Styx on the map. You listened to the greatest hits re-recording but you should try the original from Styx II. It has more "growl" to it.
First time I heard this song was in my high school gym in Downers Grove Illinois back in 1974-75 my first concert.
Renegade is my favorite Styx song by far. My daughter is in her 20's and loves Styx
Came into UA-cam, saw your line-up and jumped on this one first. Purely because of Dennis's voice. That, the harmonies and the piano are just bliss. I've tired of a lost of music over the years... but it ain't this. ❤
got its start in 1972 in Chicago. One of the most popular rock bands of the 70's and 80's. Should also give a listen to "Babe" which he wrote relating to his missing his wife when the band was on the road.
Such a great song from back in the day!😊 Thank you and glad you liked it!
50 years as a band. One of the greatest American rock n roll bands ever. Listen to Mr roboto, lights, rockin the paradise (their best song).

The lead singers name is Dennis De Young. Not too many years after this he left the band. He now performs with a band of his own.
They played at our HS at the start of the ‘70s. I think they still went by “Tradewinds” at the time.
Lead vocals, on this track, is Dennis DeYoung, but Tommy Shaw (guitarist) sings lead on many of their songs. JY Young sings lead on some, also.
In 1974-75 this was one of my favorite songs.
Been waiting for some STyX. This one was way too short. That means you have to do more : )). Go for the live versions from the Return to Paradise - 1996 live stuff... Fooling yourself, Sweet Madame blue, Crystal ball, Snow blind, etc...Way too good !!!
Renegade. That song title is the essence of Styx.
Dennis DeYoung is the lead singer for Styx. He can STILL sing that way.

Denis deyoung a masterful vocalist and song writer. The whole band is so talented. Check out their other songs!!
Just like this song, you two are beautiful!!
Every video I see you two in, plays out the lyrics of this song.... BJ... Asia's eyes tell it all.....

I saw Styx in April, and they’re one of the best bands that I’ve seen live.

I just want you guys to know that you make me smile everyday! BJ I love how you grabbed Asia’s hand and made the cutest face. Keep on being beautiful people!!!!
If ya ever get the chance ya need to see these guys in concert. They be a great act.
Classic Rock! I love their older stuff like this song. ❤️
That was always my favorite Styx song.
Oh, all those JR high school romances that were set to this in 1973! ❤️🔥🤘🏼
Classical piano…..beautiful intro…..love tenors…..whole band of em right here! ❤️🎼🎶❤️Dennis DeYoung- also did theatre- he was Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway. Tommy Shaw is the other vocalist, he sings Blue Collar Man, for comparison.👍😎
I bought the album Sytx II because of this song, but fell in love with "A Day" and "Father OSA" on that album.
Dennis De Young and Tommy Shaw are both top tier singers. I don’t think I could choose one over the other lol
I enjoy your reactions as much as the song Lady which was probably my favorite song by Styx. Keep it up guys.
Dennis DeYoung along with the harmonies of Tommy and James were a magical combo and they reached the pinnacle of music when they got along in peace. Though good at times later especially their last couple of albums they just lack that special magic that once existed a long time ago.

My favorite band. Go down the STYX rabbit hole and you won't be disappointed.
Dennis De Young was their main lead vocalist and keyboard player…..Tommy Shaw and James Young also did lead vocals.
Yes….Dennis is a phenomenal singer!
Great choice, I got to see them do this live in 1978.
I also saw them in 1983.
Live them! Still doing concerts.
2nd group I fell in love with when I started listening to music (1st was Supertramp). But if you want another amazing love ballad try "I Love You" by Climax Blues Band.
Billy Joel had a little of that "whoa" style.
Dennis De Young was lead singer and played the piano
One of my favorite Styx songs ... this song was made for Dennis DeYoung's wife and you Asia.
The reason they called it "Lady '95" (for those curious) was they re-recorded it, when their original Record label Wooden Nickel wanted an excess amount of money, to include it on a Greatest Hits album. So, they did an end around.
Styx is the only concert I ever went to. I would love for you guys to react to Stryper.
My favorite Styx song!!!!!
