@@sparky711choc Henley and the Eagles (and their reps) are known to be especially sensitive about their music being used. You will find some reactions to their music on Ytube, but from what I've read it is most likely demonitized. At least this is what I've read and heard.
They cut out the last part of the song!😕 It was a buildup of chorus and guitar into a fade. "Midnight Wind" is another John Stewart song featuring Stevie Nicks. Both songs had Lindsey Buckingham playing guitar. "Lost Her In The Sun' is another good John Stewart song. 😎
“Nobody Does it Better” The theme song from the James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, performed by Carly Simon live in Martha’s Vineyard 1987. It’s on UA-cam. Amazing video.
In her prime, Stevie had the super power of being able to harmonize with anyone. A great example, and her best vocal ever, in my pic is the duet "Whenever I call you friend".
Was fortunate enough to open for John a few times in the 80s and 90s. Grew up on him when he was with the Kingston Trio and then became a bigger fan when he went solo. I would encourage you to dive a little deeper into John's catalog which is well over 40 albums. I would say he was one of the founders/inventors of the Americana style of music fusing rock, folk, and country. His songs describing the width and breath of America were like musical version of an Andrew Wyeth painting. He also wrote the iconic Monkee's hit Daydream Believer. John even helped me on a couple of songs I recorded. Good choice.
So much great music. California Bloodlines is a masterpiece that should have made him a star. California Bloodlines, July You Are A Woman, Missouri Birds, Mother Country, The Pirates Of Stone County, Lonesome Pick etc - sheer brilliance.
John Stewart peaked at #5 on the Billboard Chart with this one on August 4, 1979. The top 10: 1) Bad Girls - Donna Summer 2) Good Times - Chic 3) Ring My Bell - Anita Ward 4) The Main Event - Barbara Streisand 5) Gold - John Stewart 6) My Sharona - The Knack 7) Makin' It - David Naughton 8) When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman - Dr. Hook 9) Hot Stuff - Donna Summer 10) I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick
It stalled at number 43 in the UK in July 1979 but I liked it straight off and liked to groove along to it when it came on the radio at the time. It's got a kind of Fleetwood Mac vibe to it musically as well as having Stevie Nicks on the vocals (perhaps she's hiding somewhere in this video). All these songs charted on this side of the Atlantic as well except for the Barbra Streisand one,and the two Donna Summer ones,Chic,Anita Ward,The Knack and Cheap Trick ones were all hits here that summer. I saw promotional stuff for Dr Hook song as early as the end of February/early March that year and probably heard it once of twice then,but strangely it did absolutely nothing on the chart,not even breaking into the Top 75,until the autumn came along and it suddenly took off,rising all the way to reach number 1 in November. The David Naughton track missed the Top 40 narrowly,in the September,peaking one place lower than Gold. That was a funny old time for good records just missing the Top 40 here,it seemed like a whole slew of them,in those weeks leading to the end of the school year and into the summer holidays. Just beneath Gold by John Stewart at 47 was Minute By Minute by the Doobie Brothers,which I liked a lot but got no higher than that placing,the song they had out after What a Fool Believes. Also there was I Was Made For Loving For by Kiss,slightly down from its peak position of 50,Love is the Answer by England Dan & John Ford Coley which had reached number 45 and Driver's Seat by Sniff 'n' the Tears,which got to 42 - according to something I watched fairly recently,online I think,a distribution problem got in the way of it becoming a bigger hit which was unfortunate. And right at the end of that summer ACDC released Highway to Hell as a single,and how the hell did that not get much higher at the time? At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon old timer,any one of those knocks what's in the mainstream nowadays into a cocked hat creatively. Others to chart but fall short of the Top 40 in the middle of that summer included Bad Case of Loving You by Robert Palmer (also known as Doctor! Doctor! because of that shout-it-out start to the chorus part and his only UK chart entry prior to that was Every Kinda People in spring 1978 and I don't think the groups he was in like Vinegar Joe with Elkie Brooks before his solo career troubled the chart compilers either),At Home He's a Tourist by the Gang of Four (which I think would have benefitted from amping up that booming,galloping bass and drums sound to make it bigger and more prominent and the shredding guitar stabs more threatening) and earlier that summer Are You Ready For Love? by Elton John (huge once revived in this Millennium) made number 42 and Kenny Rogers topped out at the same position with She Believes in Me,while The Who got to 48 with Long Live Rock,which must have been the last with Moonie drumming. Looking back at the chart listings now reminds me of several others (Pick Me Up I'll Dance by Melba Moore (upbeat singalong chorus) and The Worker by Fischer-Z (which got a Top of the Pops appearance) and Frederick by the Patti Smith Group that I heard a bit at the time but fell short of reaching the Top 40 in the earlier part of that summer. Plus an Aussie band called the Skyhooks with a song called Women in Uniform which I remember being subsequently covered by Iron Maiden,and missing the chart entirely,to my disappointment,was Kirsty MacColl singing They Don't Know,which was covered in 1983 by Tracey Ullman with huge success. Others that I heard quite a bit in the later half of the summer but stayed in the outer reaches included Let's Go by the Cars and Lady Writer by Dire Straits. Queen followed the hugely deserved success of Don't Stop Me Now by getting to number 63 with Love of My Life. Billy Paul of Me and Mrs Jones fame wanted the family "brought back" and Mannfred Mann had their last chart entry with Don't Kill it Carol having also just missed the Top 40 in March with You Angel You. Billie Jo Spears unexpectedly covered Gloria Gaynor's number1 anthem I Will Survive andwhile punk group the Dickies covered Black Sabbath's Paranoid,having had a hit by giving the same treatment to the Banana Splits theme; later in the year they did the same thing to the Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin,which then became a revived (again) hit (again) itself by the end of the year. Graham Gouldman from 10CC had a song out called Sunburn,which I remember vaguely too. Of the songs I didn't get to hear there were first chart entries for the likes of Simple Minds and Dave Stewart & Annie Lennox as the Tourists before they became the Eurythmics a couple of years later,plus Rick James and Teena Marie teamed up for a duet called I'm a Sucker For Your Love,so I wonder what that's like? Sorry that turned into a post several times longer than intended. Got into the rabbit hole a bit there.
John Stewart was a member of folk group The Kingston Trio. Lindsey Buckingham was a big fan of The Kingston Trio. I believe he produced this song and as Stevie was his Fleetwood Mac bandmate and a very recognizable voice he got her to sing background vocals
John Stewart was in the folk band The Kingston Trio. Lindsey Buckingham spent a lot of time learning John's banjo parts on the guitar -- he was a huge influence on Lindsey's guitar style. So Lindsey jumped at the chance to produce John's album and brought Stevie in for background vocals. She also sings on the song "Midnight Wind". Lindsey can be heard on the very Kingston Trio-esque song "Spinnin' Of The World". The whole album is really good.
In addition to helping Produce - Lindsey is all over the album. Background vocals on 4 songs (including Midnight Wind) and co lead on The Spinnin' Of The World and guitars on 6. He contributed to other John albums as well - they were friends until John's death.
Stevie was in-demand after "Rumours", everyone wanted her on their songs. Bob Welch "Devil Wind", Walter Egan "Magnet and Steel", "Yes I Guess I Am", 'Blonde in the Blue T-Bird", "When I Get My Wheels", Robbie Patton "Smiling Islands", Kenny Loggins "Whenever I Call You Friend", Tom Petty "Insider", and another one with John Stewart "Midnight Wind".
And then she followed those up with two duet hits on her solo album "Belladonna": W/ Tom Petty "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and W/ Don Henley "Leather and Lace"
@@paulguthrie4857 And she got Lindsey Buckingham fired from the band recently and magically, Mike Campbell ended up being replacement guitarist. I think that's what she had in mind with the whole firing thing all along.
@robertreichle1 FM never sounded quite right with that line up. Campbell is now doing "Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs" great albums. He sounds like Tom.
If you're hankering for some folk, look no further than Stewarts former group, The Kingston Trio. They formed in 1954, Stewart replaced original member Dave Guard in 1961 and played with them until 1967. "Tom Dooley", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", and my personal favorite "Greenback Dollar" are all highly recommended. 🤪👍
a big hit when I was in high school, and great to hear it once again. However, back in the day, it just broadcast as John Stewart, there was never any mention of Stevie Nicks. He earned this in his own right. You can tell its Stevie doing the backing vocals, but she isnt even seen on the video clip
John Stewart was quite popular here in San Diego. Although he’s no longer with us his music still lives on. I’ve seen Shana Morrison (Van’s daughter)?perform with John’s band several times.
This song reminds me of my dad, this song came out when I was 6. I had trouble sleeping and my dad would take me for a drive around town until I fell asleep and this song was played very often on the radio. I'm 48 and my dad is 77, don't worry, he's still alive but this song will always have a special place in my heart.
Thanks for listening to John Stewart. I saw him live countless times. He started with the Kingston Trio folk group and moved on to a solo career. Spirit is one of his most powerful songs capturing the plight of native Americans. Lonesome Picker, he was a great performer. Underappreciated kind of like John Prine.
My favorite John Stewart album was 1974s The Phoenix Concerts Live. A double album featuring some of his best songs. I would suggest July, You're A Woman from this collection..
Lindsey Buckingham is playing guitar on this song too! I have this on a 45 as well as the album on vinyl called "Bombs Away, Dream Babies"! Definitely worth the listen! Stevie Nicks is all over that album and featured heavily on the song "Midnight Wind" as well
Jay & Amber, time to get back to Carole King!! You’ll love her “Jazzman” and “Sweet Seasons”!!!! There’s a Broadway musical about her early life/career, using music she wrote with her husband and others. Its called ‘Beautiful’.
John was a member of the Kingston Trio who wrote and/or arranged many of their hit songs, like Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Reverend Mr. Black, Desert Pete, One More Town, and Where I'm Bound!
Yea !!! Loved this song forever. Besides having Stevie that's Lindsey on guitar. This video doesn't highlight them, but this studio version sure does. (And it left out the incredible ending where she really cuts loose.) Another great song from this album also featuring Stevie and Lindsey is "Midnight Wind".
In 2007, Stewart was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, but resolved to continue performing for as long as he was able.[12] On January 19, 2008, he died from a stroke at a San Diego hospital, ten days before a scheduled performance in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was 68 years old
Wow, I hardly ever see any reactors do this one! I adore this song and haven't heard it in years! 1979 was such a great year for music. I turned 12 that year, and there was a lotta magic coming out of the radio! Spooky isn't a word I've ever associated with this song. Interesting take!
I've been a fan of John Stewart since 1971 -- saw him in concert twice. For something with a bit more of a folk sound, listen to Mother Country -- it gives me chills every time.
Isn't it amazing that no matter how many great songs you guys discover, there are still more. The 60s and 70s are a nearly endless well of great music. One year in this era can surpass a whole decade of music that came after 1990 (just my opinion).
When John started out musically he was in a late '50's group called The Kingston Trio which played pop/folk/country tunes. The group consisted of only two acoustic guitars and a banjo. They are worth checking out if you're into those type of songs. My fave song of theirs has always been "Run The Ridges."
This song is so underrated and never gets enough air play now. Can't even find this version on Spotify or other streaming platforms. Such a great song, especially for summer drive on a Saturday night.
If you enjoyed this, go to the album and do Midnight wind. Great song. Good reaction. If you listen, you can tell Stevie was pretty loaded when she did this. John Stewart was one of Lindsey's idol's. They made a good album here.
This is a great song and was a huge hit in 1979. I loved John Stewart especially in the early 70's. I listened to my Phoenix Concerts album all the time. I still have an emotional attachment to the song "Kansas."
John Stewart was part of The Kingston Trio in the 1960s. Lindsey Buckingham was a huge fan, produced this album which is how Stevie Nicks got to be involved.
Great song and great reaction. It came out as I was graduating high school when minimum wage was $2.90 an hour. John's buddy Jim Bass was only making $2.50. I have always loved the vibe, but never felt it was spooky. It is not folk, and I have never thought Jackson Browne is either, even though John Stewart came from one of the biggest folk groups of the era, The Kingston Trio. Some suggestions: MTA, Tom Dooley, Scotch And Soda, A Worried Man and Take Her Out Of Pity. Woody Guthrie from Okemah, OK was an early folk artist who did This Land Is Your Land, Which Side Are You On and Union Maid Other folk groups to check out are Peter, Paul and Mary who did Puff The Magic Dragon and The Weavers who did Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and Goodnight Irene. Bob Dylan started out as a pure folk artist and got a lot of resistance when he picked up an electric guitar. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Phil Ochs and Gordon Lightfoot come from folk as well. You have just scratched the surface and will hopefully go back further into the roots of folk.
Minimum wage can vary from state to state, city to city, etc, but I recently saw an intense online debate about whether Jim Bass was pumping gas for $2.54 an hour or $2.50 for an hour.
After suggesting this song to at least two dozen reactors, finally someone has done it. This is really not a duet with Stevie like some people think, but it's her singing the back-up, and is still amazing.
Check out John Stewart's "The Phoenix Concerts"--AMAZING You can't beat "Mother Country"--The Apollo 13 astronauts took a recording of it into space with them!
Didn't recognize the title but within 5 seconds I was like, holy crap. I love this song. Never knew what he looked like. I always assumed he was in his 50's and possibly black.
Great reaction. Thank you. And this duet is also significant because John Stewart was a huge influence on Lindsey Buckingham, especially his fingerpicking style. And a lot of Buckingham-Nicks, both before and after they joined Fleetwood Mac, has echoes of this song and performance.
favorite John Stewart... JULY YOU'RE A WOMAN ua-cam.com/video/kKNH7Fzyw-o/v-deo.html live version, original from '69. Also the year I graduated high school, Hollywood, ca.
The Kingston Trio was huge in their genre. Stevie was brought in to sing on another song on the album and after that was done she was asked if she wanted to be on this one. About 20 minutes later it was done and this was THE ONE from that record.
Great song about the industry. One of those I listen to every time it comes on the radio. Have you tried Oye Como Va by SANTANA? Jay won’t be able to sit still in his chair.
This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid and never knew the name of it so I never knew where to find it until I reached out to the local morning dj at the station I listen to for the info.
This song was released one month before I joined the Army in 1979. It's one of those songs that was the soundtrack of my youth while growing up in the 70's before having to settle myself and doing some growing up. This version has been cut short, which is too bad as it's a really good song.
Another duet. "Whenever I call you friend". Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins. Great feel good song
I’ve suggested this to them a hundred times. They’ve also never reacted to John Denver’s Country Roads Take Me Home. Crazy
I love that song!
"Whoever I Call You Friend," is a great song!
Definitely need to do that one. Love that song
Stop Dragging My Heart Around - Stevie and Tom Petty
Classic or
For R&B
Alexander O’Neal and Cherelle - I never knew Love like this
1979, I bought this 45, played it to death! Still love it
Everything is better with Stevie Nicks!!!
~Red
Best Stevie duet ever is "Leather and Lace" with Don Henley of the Eagles. Henley's vocals make you swoon trust me.
True, but they wont do him as they're scared of copyright issues
@@JohnnyXoz Didn't know that. Wouldn't there be copyright issues with any artist they do on their channel?
@@sparky711choc Henley and the Eagles (and their reps) are known to be especially sensitive about their music being used. You will find some reactions to their music on Ytube, but from what I've read it is most likely demonitized. At least this is what I've read and heard.
And don’t forget Henley’s other beautiful duet - the one with Patty Smyth from Scandal, “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough”
Try to guess how many times, this was a bride n groom’s wedding song. Mine included…
They cut out the last part of the song!😕 It was a buildup of chorus and guitar into a fade. "Midnight Wind" is another John Stewart song featuring Stevie Nicks. Both songs had Lindsey Buckingham playing guitar. "Lost Her In The Sun' is another good John Stewart song. 😎
John Stewart's music was the epitome of Rock and Roll in the late 70s.
I was there! And I want to go back!!!
I haven't heard this in forever!
Stevie Nicks comes up with the most unique and brilliant back up vocals. Nobody does it better.
“Nobody Does it Better” The theme song from the James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, performed by Carly Simon live in Martha’s Vineyard 1987. It’s on UA-cam. Amazing video.
In her prime, Stevie had the super power of being able to harmonize with anyone. A great example, and her best vocal ever, in my pic is the duet "Whenever I call you friend".

I would encourage you to dive a little deeper into John's catalog which is well over 40 albums. I would say he was one of the founders/inventors of the Americana style of music fusing rock, folk, and country. His songs describing the width and breath of America were like musical version of an Andrew Wyeth painting. He also wrote the iconic Monkee's hit Daydream Believer. John even helped me on a couple of songs I recorded. Good choice.
So much great music. California Bloodlines is a masterpiece that should have made him a star. California Bloodlines, July You Are A Woman, Missouri Birds, Mother Country, The Pirates Of Stone County, Lonesome Pick etc - sheer brilliance.

Picture it, America, Springtime 1979 and playing on the radio "Gold" by John Stewart. Priceless 🤗 ⚾
Lindsey Buckingham played guitar on this track as well. His sound is so distinctive.
Wrong , it is in fact John Stewart's, although , I'll agree it sounds like Lindsey's work but is not.
Stewart wrote 'Daydream Believer' which was hit by the Monkees
Never knew that!
Yeah, they mentioned that right off the bat.

Lindsey & Stevie had a production company, never knew she was on background vocals, same with MAGNET AND STEEL.
Another good duet is Stevie and Kenny Loggins, Whenever I call you friend.
Totally!
JAY THIS was the vibe of the 70s
That was Melissa Manchester, not Stevie Nicks. This is a prime example of the Mandela effect
@@africanfartingfrog He co-wrote it with Melissa. He sang it with Stevie. Stevie called him a "slave driver" 😆
More Stevie background vocals on Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan.
Love that song but never knew she was on it.
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned the BEST Stevie Nicks duet of them all... Stop Dragging My Heart Around with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
This one leads in perfectly to another one with heavy Fleetwood Mac involvement - Magnet & Steel by Walter Egan.
My favorite John Stewart album was 1974s The Phoenix Concerts Live. A double album featuring some of his best songs. I would suggest July, You're A Woman from this collection..

"Lost her in the sun" should have been big too
Thank you for confirming that. I swear this song sounds so Fleetwood Mac-ish, that I figured Lindsey had to be on guitar.
@@davedave8602 it is john playing lead guitar though.
I also have the album and the 45.
Actually sounds like lindsey Buckingham's. guitar playing but in fact is not , it's John Stewart.
Do the duet with Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, "Leather and Lace."
Jay & Amber, time to get back to Carole King!! You’ll love her “Jazzman” and “Sweet Seasons”!!!!
There’s a Broadway musical about her early life/career, using music she wrote with her husband and others. Its called ‘Beautiful’.
Definitely would like to see Jazzman.
John was a member of the Kingston Trio who wrote and/or arranged many of their hit songs, like Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Reverend Mr. Black, Desert Pete, One More Town, and Where I'm Bound!
Yea !!! Loved this song forever. Besides having Stevie that's Lindsey on guitar. This video doesn't highlight them, but this studio version sure does. (And it left out the incredible ending where she really cuts loose.) Another great song from this album also featuring Stevie and Lindsey is "Midnight Wind".
1979 great song to cruise to. Windows down, wind blowing though the car, radio up high.
I grew up in Santa Barbara, California and I clearly remember “Gold” blasting from cars in the summer of ‘79 and through the early 80’s.
For the life of me I could not recall the song until I heard the very 1st beat and then it all flashed back. Love the tempo of this one.
Same here!!!

Wow, I hardly ever see any reactors do this one! I adore this song and haven't heard it in years! 1979 was such a great year for music. I turned 12 that year, and there was a lotta magic coming out of the radio!
Spooky isn't a word I've ever associated with this song. Interesting take!
My parents had this on a 45. I loved this song as a kid as much as I love it now. Great song with a driving beat.
THANK YOU!!!!! This is such a Southern California in the 70’s song!! I was 12 when this came out. Goosebumps for days.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
She opened for Billy Joel in Phoenix in December. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
She opened for Tom Petty in Houston years ago. She was great, but she couldn't sing any of her Fleetwood mac songs.
@@mrsteve3527 yeah she wasn’t as good as Billy Joel. Still great concert
Your reaction to this is Gold!
They produced MAGNET AND STEEL, Stevie on background vocals.
Stevie’s vocals on this, added the brass section to the song. Strong, perfect pitch, and full of colour
"Secret" is a duet with Stevie Nicks & Robin Zander (Cheap Trick) off of Robin Zander's solo album
I've loved this song since I was a kid! Thanks for reacting to it!
Same.
Stevieeeeeeeeee!!! My girl!
I've been a fan of John Stewart since 1971 -- saw him in concert twice. For something with a bit more of a folk sound, listen to Mother Country -- it gives me chills every time.
Brilliant song. The entire album California Bloodlines is a masterpiece.
This song immediately takes me back to my room ,this Blairing out of the two speakers I had wired to my clock radio. 😊
I love this song! Mainly because of my Gypsy Queen Stevie! ❤️🔮
Isn't it amazing that no matter how many great songs you guys discover, there are still more. The 60s and 70s are a nearly endless well of great music. One year in this era can surpass a whole decade of music that came after 1990 (just my opinion).
A beautiful folk song written and recorded by John Stewart is "Dreamers On The Rise."
So happy you two are enjoying this musical journey 😊
My all-time favorite song!
When John started out musically he was in a late '50's group called The Kingston Trio which played pop/folk/country tunes. The group consisted of only two
acoustic guitars and a banjo. They are worth checking out if you're into those type of songs. My fave song of theirs has always been "Run The Ridges."
Lindsey Buckingham did play on this song but the guitar solo is all John Stewart.
Lyndsay Buckingham produced this that's how Stevie got involved;)
Such a good ,hidden jam. He has a good music background. ❤ Perfect pick.
I don't know that he ever had anymore hits than that one song.
If you like John Stewart, check out Kingston Trio with "Merry Minuet." Edited to add, John Stewart also wrote the monkees hit "Daydream Believer."
I completely forgot this song. Thanks to whoever recommended it!! I must have really liked it because I still remember the words 😮😮😊😊❤️❤️.
This song is so underrated and never gets enough air play now. Can't even find this version on Spotify or other streaming platforms. Such a great song, especially for summer drive on a Saturday night.
If you enjoyed this, go to the album and do Midnight wind. Great song.
Good reaction.
If you listen, you can tell Stevie was pretty loaded when she did this.
John Stewart was one of Lindsey's idol's. They made a good album here.
Never thought of Jackson Browne as a "folk" singer. 😳
This is a great song and was a huge hit in 1979. I loved John Stewart especially in the early 70's. I listened to my Phoenix Concerts album all the time. I still have an emotional attachment to the song "Kansas."
I was fortunate enough to be at one of the Phoenix concerts.
John Stewart was part of The Kingston Trio in the 1960s. Lindsey Buckingham was a huge fan, produced this album which is how Stevie Nicks got to be involved.
Yes! I bet J and Amber would love the Kingston Trio!! Perhaps “The Sloop John B” or “Scotch & Soda”? 👍💐
Kingston Trio played he never returned….. great song and fun❤❤
Great song and great reaction. It came out as I was graduating high school when minimum wage was $2.90 an hour. John's buddy Jim Bass was only making $2.50. I have always loved the vibe, but never felt it was spooky. It is not folk, and I have never thought Jackson Browne is either, even though John Stewart came from one of the biggest folk groups of the era, The Kingston Trio. Some suggestions: MTA, Tom Dooley, Scotch And Soda, A Worried Man and Take Her Out Of Pity. Woody Guthrie from Okemah, OK was an early folk artist who did This Land Is Your Land, Which Side Are You On and Union Maid Other folk groups to check out are Peter, Paul and Mary who did Puff The Magic Dragon and The Weavers who did Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and Goodnight Irene. Bob Dylan started out as a pure folk artist and got a lot of resistance when he picked up an electric guitar. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Phil Ochs and Gordon Lightfoot come from folk as well. You have just scratched the surface and will hopefully go back further into the roots of folk.
Minimum wage can vary from state to state, city to city, etc, but I recently saw an intense online debate about whether Jim Bass was pumping gas for $2.54 an hour or $2.50 for an hour.
Whenever I Call You Friend - Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins.
Damn, I forgot about this song!! Damn.. a young Stevie Nick's..She was sexy as he'll in the 70's & 80's!
I have this on a classic "K-TEL PRESENTS" album.
There is no mistaking that 70's laid back Laurel Canyon sound. Love this song!
The lead guitar sounds like something Lindsey Buckingham would play!
John Stewart..."Let the Big Horse Run" homage to Secretariat and "July Your a Woman"...both great songs.
I think John Stewart - as a solo artist -- was kind of a one hit wonder. However, he did write "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees.
After suggesting this song to at least two dozen reactors, finally someone has done it. This is really not a duet with Stevie like some people think, but it's her singing the back-up, and is still amazing.
Check out John Stewart's "The Phoenix Concerts"--AMAZING You can't beat "Mother Country"--The Apollo 13 astronauts took a recording of it into space with them!
Didn't recognize the title but within 5 seconds I was like, holy crap. I love this song. Never knew what he looked like. I always assumed he was in his 50's and possibly black.
"Lost Her In The Sun" by John Stewart is another great song you should check out.
Great reaction. Thank you. And this duet is also significant because John Stewart was a huge influence on Lindsey Buckingham, especially his fingerpicking style. And a lot of Buckingham-Nicks, both before and after they joined Fleetwood Mac, has echoes of this song and performance.
This song was the only release I ever heard on the radio, but I recently bought the vinyl and it turns out the whole album is good.
John was a member of the Kingston Trio, which was idolized by Lindsey (who also produced this song).
One of those songs I didn’t know that I know, but sang along!
Bad ass driving tune here! John and Stevie killed it!
favorite John Stewart... JULY YOU'RE A WOMAN ua-cam.com/video/kKNH7Fzyw-o/v-deo.html live version, original from '69. Also the year I graduated high school, Hollywood, ca.
The Kingston Trio was huge in their genre. Stevie was brought in to sing on another song on the album and after that was done she was asked if she wanted to be on this one. About 20 minutes later it was done and this was THE ONE from that record.
Gold is great but I think Midnight Wind is even better, also Lost Her In The Sun (no Stevie)
Great song about the industry. One of those I listen to every time it comes on the radio.
Have you tried Oye Como Va by SANTANA? Jay won’t be able to sit still in his chair.
It doesn't look like they have but they need to also play the original by Tito Puente.
Solid 'Gold' Song!!! J's Right Amber... Great insight on characterizing the song!! As always, Great Reaction, You Guys! :)
Along the line of cool vibe from around this time, try “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n’ The Tears.
This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid and never knew the name of it so I never knew where to find it until I reached out to the local morning dj at the station I listen to for the info.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SONG!!!❤❤
This song was released one month before I joined the Army in 1979. It's one of those songs that was the soundtrack of my youth while growing up in the 70's before having to settle myself and doing some growing up. This version has been cut short, which is too bad as it's a really good song.
Midnight Wind is the best collaboration by John Stewart and Stevie Nicks. Her haunting vocal makes the song and it was a hit too.
Both Lindsey and Stevie had a hand in this.
Was It 6 wks , At No.1?? That Hot'78?? Summer!! ✌😎🎸🔊🎶🎵🎶🎹🎤😁🎶🎵
They have no idea the song in this video was cut so the great ending is missing. Another reason they need someone to assist them with choosing videos.
There is no singer that Stevie Nicks can’t harmonize with. She has the talent to meld her voice around anyone.
This song takes me back to when I was in junior high school. It got played a lot!
“Whenever I Call You Friend” Kenny Loggins and Steve Nicks. Come on already! You love both of them. Been suggesting it for over two years.❤
They'll play it if you pay it!
That would be good. They'll probably never be able to react to Leather and Lace with her and Don Henley.
Also "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Petty & Nicks. They may have already done that song.
They’ve also never done John Denver Country Roads Take Me Home. The greatest song of all time.
@@seanswinton6242 They've reacted to that one about two years ago.
Ya'll STAY SAFE!! We have more storms movin' in, tonight, here.... THANKS, as ALWAYS, for the GREAT REACTIONS!!! :) HUGS!
