Yep! When they reacted to You've Got the Look, I don't know if they'd reacted to Sheena on her own yet, so I don't think they recognized her, then when they did Morning Train, like they said, she was so sweet and innocent there, still hadn't made the connection. But if they had reacted to Strut or Sugar Walls, THEN You've Got the Look, they would've recognized her!
@bkm2797 No, definitely not. She was around before she started working with Prince. I believe her first big hit was For Your Eyes Only (could be wrong).
I forgot who listened to “Sugar Walls”, it may have been Asia & BJ, lol, but I’m not sure. Oh, I stand corrected! I forgot it was The Adventures of TNT. They did it about 4 months ago.
True. It was like HS and university crept slowly while it was happening, and then sped up! Life seemed to do the same! Goodness knows I miss my 80's! Sheena Easton's career seemed to start in 1980 and fizzled out by 1990, my formative years. I did find an album of hers performing old pop and jazz songs with strings like Linda Ronstadt's "Round Midnight" and Carly Simon's "My Romance" albums.
You have to do “For Your Eyes Only”. Sheena sang it for the James Bond movie of the same title, and was the only singer to appear on screen during the opening song.
I've been requesting this and "Sugar Walls" for ages. Glad you got to it! Sheena did quite a bit with Prince, and he actually wrote "Sugar Walls" for her. It's another up tempo one that has that naughty Prince spin.
Actually written for his backing singer Jill Jones but Sheena was a bigger name and was looking to toughen up her image, so the song was passed along to her and was one of her biggest hits.
I remember she was being interviewed on VH1 and the guy asked what the song is about alluding to its innuendo and she coyly says in her melt my legs Scottish accent, “oh I think it’s about a candy factory”. 😂 God I love her. Saw her in concert and hers was one of my favorites.
@@sallyphillips9175 If you watch their video here they mention that they have listened to her song "Morning Train" and the duet she sang with Kenny Rogers "We've Got Tonight" . They do know who she is .
"Strut" was co-written by singer Charlie Dore, she had a few single hits in the late '70s the biggest one was "Pilot of the Airwaves". As for Sheena, songs like "You Could Have Been with Me" and "Weekend in Paris" also showcase her vocal skills really well.
You Could Have Been With Me is an awesome Sheena Easton song and her range will blow your mind! Strut has always been a favorite too - love the lyrics!
“The Lover In Me” is an awesome dance song written and Produced by Antonio “L.A.” Reid & Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds shortly before they unveiled their LaFace Records label.
Hello, I can remember when this song first came out. I was a teenager and had the biggest crush on her. I was like 13-14 when this came out. I watched the premiere of this video on MTV
Bruce Hornsby and some of the guys who would go on to become "The Range" were Sheena Easton's touring band. You can also see them in her video for her song "Sugar Walls" ua-cam.com/video/CqH7LlWwIww/v-deo.html Also with her appearances on American Bandstand in 1984 and 1985 ua-cam.com/video/r8mPS4hEiQg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7fl8dB2ZgEo/v-deo.html
This song is 40 years old? It makes my playlist as of t--o-d-a-y! I love horns, vocals, and percussion (especially at 5:32 before the bridge). Thanks for playing this one!🎶
If you like the sass and sensuality of this one, you'll also enjoy "The Lover in Me." She's stunning in that video, and it really ushered in a new R & B sound for the early 90s.
This makes me soooooooo happy! Sheena Easton has been and remains one of my top 10 favorite female vocalists since I was a little kid. The first album I ever personally asked to be bought for me was her 1983 album "Best Kept Secret" and I adore her for ALL the reasons you highlighted in your discussion here. The clarity and control she shows in her voice is among the best of all pop vocalists, for my money. She's so precise while also being so emotionally effective. My I recommend as follow ups "Telefone," "Sugar Walls," "The Lover in Me," and "For Your Eyes Only." Thank you for what you do here. Liked and shared.
Hey Jay and Amber, you requested more Sheena Easton songs to check out. You should definitely check out "For Your Eyes Only," which was the theme from the James Bond movie of the same title
Check out Sheena's rather-naughty-themed 1984 hit "Sugar Walls" (written and co-produced by Prince), as well as her beautiful ballad "For Your Eyes Only," the theme song for the 1981 James Bond movie of the same name.
A lot of people have requested "for your eyes only" there's a live version of that song which really highlights how good she is. I had always assumed it had taken dozens of takes to get that song right. Then she just walked out and proved me wrong. Truly a great singer!
You would love Sheena's SWEAR. Also, I was such a huge Sheena fan that I saw her in concert 6 times, met her on a number of occasions, and even got a vanity license plate that said STRUT lol
I totally forgot about that one! Great song. My favorite Easton songs are actually from the "About Last Night" soundtrack from 1986. She had 2 great songs off that film: "So Far, So Good" and "Natural Love".
Since they've done Easton's Almost Over You, they have to do You Could Have Been with Me for more of her clear tone and belting. It was a big hit back in the day.
Sheena won the Best New Artist Grammy Award. She even sings in Soanish. For Your Eyes Only from the James Bond movie by the same name is Amazing...great vocal performance on that song.
This was from the period where she had started collaborating with Prince and was trying to shake the goodey -two-shoes image and that she could only do love ballads. Got to see her in concert years ago, and she was phenomenal.
SO happy you're doing this song!! Sheena is seriously underrated. The UK threw her away so early so she moved to America where she was better appreciated. She has so many great tracks like this one.
"You Could Have Been With Me" really shows her range and control, in my opinion. I *love* this song; absolute dance tune and "woman power" vibe. Oh, the line is "...is just a smoke from another fire." In other words, he's just wanting her to be the other woman he *actually* wants, and not herself.
Thank you for another great reaction!! In case you didn't notice, that was Bruce Hornsby ( That's Just The Way It Is) on the keyboard.. He played keyboards/piano for quite afew singers as well as his own music and his band The Range. I believe youhave listened to him before.
There's a song called "Get It" by Stevie Wonder & Michael Jackson. Sheena Easton released some New Jack Swing songs in the late 1980s & early 1990s. One is "The Lover In Me" produced by Babyface & L.A. Reid, who were members of the R&B band The Deele. Sheena was also in a few episodes of the 1980s cop show "Miami Vice". A lot of other music artists appeared on the show too like Phil Collins, Little Richard, Miles Davis, & James Brown.
This song was written by Charlie Dore, she was famous for the hit song "Pilot of the Airwaves". I was stationed in Japan in 1986-87 and Sheena was rocking this song in some kind of Japanese liquor commercial on TV 🥃🤙
I'm gonna recommend a song from Sheena that is probably underrated & others will not recommend called "101". That song is probably my top favorite from her. "Sugar Walls" & "What Comes Naturally" are two other faves as well. Can't wait to see you guys react to more of her songs!
That was Bruce Hornsby and the Range as her backup band. You can see him on the keyboards. Also check out Sheena Easton's songs: "Telefone" and "For Your Eyes Only" "Almost Over You" and "The Lover in Me"
i was obsessed with Sheena when i was a kid. I even did a cover of her song 'For Your Eyes Only" for a school talent show since they wouldnt let me do "Sugar Walls" because they felt it wasn't 'right' for a elementary student to do. I was so young i really didnt know what the song was about & they didnt want any questions from other kids. Either way when every other girl wanted to be Madonna i wanted to be Sheena Easton. I've always been the odd man out in the crowd apparently. But you should checkout her song 'Sugar Walls" it's a banger. Also think you should checkout some Falling In Reverse they are a more current group that i think you'll like, kind of like Linkin Park but newer.
I think you never realized that in Prince's song: YOU GOT THE LOOK, the female voice was SHEENA EASTON.
Yep! When they reacted to You've Got the Look, I don't know if they'd reacted to Sheena on her own yet, so I don't think they recognized her, then when they did Morning Train, like they said, she was so sweet and innocent there, still hadn't made the connection. But if they had reacted to Strut or Sugar Walls, THEN You've Got the Look, they would've recognized her!
I remember watching Jay and Amber reacting to You Got The Look and wishing they knew it was Sheena
I remember Jay was talking about her saying “ your body’s hecka slamming”. Sheena truly got better with age.
@bkm2797 No, definitely not. She was around before she started working with Prince. I believe her first big hit was For Your Eyes Only (could be wrong).
@@shari_m925 her first big hit was Morning Train.
For your eyes only...big hit for her. Beautiful song
Totally. The best Sheena Easton hit!
Was that a theme for one of the Bond movies?
Definitely one of the best Bond themes.
@@jengoodwyn2715 Yes, For Your Eyes Only.
@@jengoodwyn2715 For Your Eyes Only, Bond movie.
Jay & Amber, you'll love Sheena's "For Your Eyes Only" and "Sugar Walls"!!!
Sugar Walls is too "dirty" for them. Then again so is this song. lol
@@ChrisC709lol
I forgot who listened to “Sugar Walls”, it may have been Asia & BJ, lol, but I’m not sure.
Oh, I stand corrected! I forgot it was The Adventures of TNT. They did it about 4 months ago.
For your eyes only. Did they use that song on a James Bond movie?
yes, movie has the same name.@@janetharrington5467
*FOR YOUR EYES ONLY* - _Sheena Easton_ - a must listen
Not her best song, but the best Bond theme song.
Hard to believe she's 64 now. Where have the years gone this song is 40 years old
True. It was like HS and university crept slowly while it was happening, and then sped up! Life seemed to do the same! Goodness knows I miss my 80's!

Time has really flown
You have to do “For Your Eyes Only”.
Sheena sang it for the James Bond movie of the same title, and was the only singer to appear on screen during the opening song.
Sugar Walls was another hit for Ms. Easton......it was written for her specifically by Prince.
That song was NASTY
@@paulwagner688prince helped her get out of her goodie2shoes stage so she could grow musically for the older crowd. It worked
and it's about exactly what you think 😄
And it's one of her best songs 🎵 😌 😊
Don't tell them that!! Let them figure it out themselves!!
"You Got the Look" Sheena with Prince is a banger.
They've reacted to it but were not familiar with her at the time.
Yes they seemed to of liked it when they reacted to it.
@@MichaelHHHH They like pretty much everything except for "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s.
I've been requesting this and "Sugar Walls" for ages. Glad you got to it! Sheena did quite a bit with Prince, and he actually wrote "Sugar Walls" for her. It's another up tempo one that has that naughty Prince spin.

I’ve always felt like this song never got enough credit for being a song of female empowerment.
Yessss!!!!
Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair) is great somg by her
My favorite. Also, love the cheeky video!
Sheena’s voice is so pure
Pure what? High. Pretty. What makes a voice pure?
Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey pure?
@@Spo-Dee-O-DeeShe has a lovely Scottish accent.
Sheena Easton's duet with Prince is pretty Great! She really has an amazing voice and is one of my favorites .
They've reacted to it but didn't realize that was her cos they hadn't reacted to any of her songs yet.
@@sallyphillips9175 If you watch their video here they mention that they have listened to her song "Morning Train" and the duet she sang with Kenny Rogers "We've Got Tonight" . They do know who she is .
She has another duet with Prince on the Batman album.The Arms of Orion .
"Strut" was co-written by singer Charlie Dore, she had a few single hits in the late '70s the biggest one was "Pilot of the Airwaves". As for Sheena, songs like "You Could Have Been with Me" and "Weekend in Paris" also showcase her vocal skills really well.
For some more fierce Sheena, check out "The Lover In Me", and for a stellar, beautiful ballad, "For Your Eyes Only".
Now that's my Favorite: The Lover In Me
Yesss
You Could Have Been With Me is an awesome Sheena Easton song and her range will blow your mind!
Strut has always been a favorite too - love the lyrics!
I had forgotten that one! Nice pick!
Yes! Probably her best in my opinion👍✌️
You forgot the one you did with her and Prince. "You've got the look."
I don't think they realized that was Sheena Easton in that song...
Have listened to her song Modern Girl ? That would be a good one to check out. She also played Don Johnson’s wife on Miami Vice
You also did the song "You've Got the Look" A duet with Prince.
She was another one of Prince's female proteges.
No, she wasn't a protégé. They worked together, but he was in no way responsible for her career. She was already famous before they ever met.
She was in the since she completely changed her image
“The Lover In Me” is an awesome dance song written and Produced by Antonio “L.A.” Reid & Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds shortly before they unveiled their LaFace Records label.
Sheena went from the sweetness of Morning Train to Prince's Sugar Walls and this amazing Strut. She could do anything. Thank you, Scotland!
An amazing looking and sounding lassy !!!!!
Hello, I can remember when this song first came out. I was a teenager and had the biggest crush on her. I was like 13-14 when this came out. I watched the premiere of this video on MTV
Check out Sheena Easton For Your Eyes Only (1981) It was the opening song for the James Bond 007 movie with the same title.
For Your Eyes Only was nominated for an Oscar for best song. It is amazing.
You guys notice the Keyboardist? Bruce Hornsby
they rarely read these comments....
Whoa! All these decades and I never noticed!
Is it really? Wow!

Morning Train (9 to 5)
Not to be confused with "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton.
@sallyphillips9175 Yep, that's what I meant. Morning Train(9 to 5), couldn't remember the full name lol(i'll edit the original comment)
She’s so beautiful. Yes! Good dance song!

"When He Shines" is her finest composition. Beautifully sung, absolutely stirs the emotions.
She had a long musical journey from Morning Train to Sugar Walls lol Thank you Prince!
She's from Scotland and used to sing at weddings, she won a TV talent show that launched her career.
extremely CLEVER lyrical wordplay in this song! "I won't be your babydoll, (but) I'll be your baby, Doll" Love it!!

"I Wouldn't Beg for Water", "For Your Eyes Only", and "When He Shines".
okayyrickk did when he shines, check him out!
Sheena's, "There Will Be Days Like This."
Great song and shows another facet of her voice.😂😂❤❤❤❤
"For Your Eyes Only" is so smooth.
Top song that came out in the Summer of 84/85 in December 1984 here in Australia . One of my faveourite Sheena Easton songs
A lot of people have requested "for your eyes only" there's a live version of that song which really highlights how good she is. I had always assumed it had taken dozens of takes to get that song right. Then she just walked out and proved me wrong. Truly a great singer!
I think I know the one. It was stunning.
Sheena is my favorite!! Brings back memories of July 4, 1985 in Anchorage Alaska
I was s HUGE fan of Sheena back in the day. Great voice!
Sheena had a moment during her career where Prince worked with her and of course the sexy got ramped up 😁 She does have a beautiful voice.
Probably my favorite of hers. The beat, the attitude. It's a great song all around.
You would love Sheena's SWEAR. Also, I was such a huge Sheena fan that I saw her in concert 6 times, met her on a number of occasions, and even got a vanity license plate that said STRUT lol

That was a HUGE hit. That video was played continuously.
She dueted with Prince You Got the Look. I think ya'll reacted to that already. She also sang a song called Sugar Walls that Prince wrote for her.
There were a lot of hot female singers back in the 80's. I would put her on my top 5!!!!!

Got this one on a 45!!! Love it!

For Your Eyes Only from the James Bond movie by the same name is Amazing...great vocal performance on that song.
Oooh yay! You’re going to watch one of my requests!!! Sure you’ll both love this one!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Love Sheena. Had a huge crush on her when I was a kid. Prince wrote a song for Sheena called "Sugar Walls" that you should check out.

Blink and you'll miss Bruce Hornsby playing keyboard, he was part of her backing band before forming Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
I thought that was him, I recognized his hair.
I loved Jay's reaction to funding out it was gonna be an upbeat dance number. And then when the innuendo starts...
Yes, this was VERY popular back then. Very. BTW, she was on Miami Vice for a while.
Pure voice
SO happy you're doing this song!! Sheena is seriously underrated. The UK threw her away so early so she moved to America where she was better appreciated. She has so many great tracks like this one.
"Sugar Walls" should be next reaction. Sheena is very underrated.
I forgot about this fun Sheena Easton song! Glad you reacted to it!
“Telefone” was a great song too!
Many of the musicians backing her were in the band Ambrosia, including the keyboardist with the funny sunglasses, Bruce Hornsby!
Sheila E. is a drummer and AWESOME at it. Of course, she can sing, too . Love Sheila E.

Her "For Your Eyes Only" is the opening song for the James Bond movie of the same name.
I've not heard this song in ages but still sang along 💙💙
This song takes me back, MTV and my pre teen son, he hit puberty watching sheena sing this song
Can't wait until you two experience "The Lover in Me" and "Sugar Walls"!
She is also a trained Olympic Fencer.

Yeah, definitely this one and "Sugar Walls" are the two upbeat tunes of hers I recall liking the most!
Sheena ❤ A real 80’s banger…Can’t believe this song is 40 years old this year
She embodies MTV female pop singers. She’s got the look!
You just gotta cover "You Could Have Been With Me." It will give you chills. Great reaction to this!
My Sheena favorite!
@@lindac7966mine as well. Never fails to give me the goosebumps.

you guys also did Sheena's duet with Prince "U got the Look". I'd suggest "lover in me " and "follow my rainbow" and "For your eyes Only"
I forgot this song existed! Thanks for reigniting it!
Sheena's other big uptempo hit that you haven't reacted to yet is called The Lover In Me.
Check out her song For Your Eyes Only, from the James Bond movie.
"For Your Eyes Only" and "Sugar Walls" are defintely worth a reaction.
My Favorite Song Of This Beautiful Gorgeous Woman ❤❤❤❤❤❤
"You Could Have Been With Me" is a gorgeous song by her.
DAMN....I've totally forgotten this song!!! Now I remember just how KILLER the horns were on this song!!! This on'e's going onto my regular playlist.
This channel makes me happy. You review some of my all time favorite songs! I grew up in the 70s and 80s and love this song so much!
