They were just called The Impressions - Curtis never took lead billing. Yes, it's a classic and Rod and Beck do a good version but nowhere near as good as the original. Spoiled by Beck's OTT guitar. Anybody who bought and heard the original will know what I mean. Missed the soul of the original.
Especially Love the version done at the 2007 Crossroads festival with Vinnie and Tal. Because Tal was just 20/21 and he gave her that Solo on the first song of the set, to show the crowd who she was something most stars of hi stature wouldn't do.
Beck had an extraordinarily long career. What made Beck stand out was how he morphed his guitar prowess into so many different styles and genres, allowing him to always be contemporary. You can find outstanding instrumentals from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, 20's......Jeff left hits in 7 decades of an immaculate career. For his early work, sample Freeway Jam, Pork Hat Pie, El Becko, and compare those to his more recent works where he played in the techno-house genre like What Mama Said, Space For The Papa, Roy's Toy. And, Jeff Beck is the world's greatest guitarist. Sorry Jimi, you were great, but Jeff brought out almost impossible sounds out of a Strat.
That tone! Woooooo!! Jeff Beck could play the vocals to any song on his guitar note for note. And Rod Stewart's voice you know it's him singing when you hear it.
So glad you are playing this video. Rod and Jeff were old buddies as you can tell from this video. I so love this version. Jeff played in our little town not too many years ago. What a trip. But this is outstanding! Thank you. Thank you. So much power here! Yes. The perfect send off song. Good point. Guitar soul connection. Right on, Jay. Yeah! Here we go! Thank you. Thank you. Needed this!
This is one of my favorite songs. Period. Been a huge Rod Stewart fan from his beginning and the magic he and Jeff Beck have together with the call and response between Rod's voice and Jeff's guitar is unforgettable. They used to play together when Rod was with the Jeff Beck group. I think even the vid for this song is filmed so beautifully. I've been asking for this one forever! Thanks!
This is the most Beautiful song, the Guitar is singing the most Amazing Soul Heart Of your being, perfect for Rod is saying all the words I already know I want to get on that Train, this is one of the Songs I will have Played when I am laid to rest, Jeff Beck is such and Incredible Artist, his Music is just flowing from his Soul, My Favorite Guitarist 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Lisa Einsohn
I failed to appreciate this song when it first came out. Being older, I am blown away when I hear it. The great thing about music is that as you age, you find more treasures.
These two have a long history together going back the 60s and The Jeff Beck group. They had an 80s hit with "Infatuation", a real rocker. Jeff also does a great instrumental cover of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life".
Losing Jeff Beck was hard. I took guitar lessons in grammar school because of Beck and Clapton. Turns out my fingers aren’t long enough, or weren’t in 7th grade. Watching my heroes slip away has been really hard. Rod and Jeff performed a lot together. Rod Stewart better live forever. I just couldn’t take that.
When I got the call that my Grandmother died I went to my room, put this song on repeat and laid on my bed and listened to it for an hour. It was great therapy for me. So glad you got to hear this powerful song.
This song was first released in 1965 by The Impressions. Jeff does a stellar guitar performance while Rod's vocal solo just beautiful. The instruments, especially the organ, make a wonderful backing. It's been covered by Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Chamber Btothers, Vanilla Fudge, to name a few. People Get Ready, was in reference to passing on, catching the train that took you to the promise land. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Rod Stewart was the lead singer of the very first Jeff Beck Group in 1968 after the Yardbirds split apart… They made two albums together Truth and BeckOla.. Both are great albums… Here’s a live version of this song where Rod surprised Jeff on stage ua-cam.com/video/T43m6dcMk6U/v-deo.html
A song that's telling people to get ready for death and what comes after. "You just thank the lord." Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck were remarkable on this song.
What a beautiful voice that mr Rod Stewart has he's one of my favorite singer and artists I love so many of he's songs he's a rock 🎸 legend and a rock and roll stars and Jeff BECK he's a rock 🎸 star and he is a great guitar 🎸 legend
Your musical IQ has risen exponentially by expanding your horizons into so many styles and genres. As someone who has listened to Jeff since the ‘60s, I was listening and thinking how I need to point out how he could make a guitar “sing” like few others and, Bam, you came out with it yourselves. Very nice job on this one. Rod has done albums that are covers of great songs from his era (Still The Same album, great rock classics) and before with songs from the crooner era (Fly Me To The Moon album) with songs from the likes of Sinatra, Tony Bennett and others. Listen to his versatility on these two albums and you will be completely blown away - a whole different Rod.
The singing guitar - that was the magic of Jeff Beck. I am so thankful that I got to see him in concert multiple times, the most recent was in Austin in 2019, just before the shut downs. I was inconsolably gutted when he died, your first break comments, where you were instantly a fan of his talent, broke me again. Thank you for doing this one. 💔 Seriously, explore more. He never sang, so if you want vocals you have to look for his duets (I Put A Spell on You feat/Joss Stone is AH-MAZ-ING), but his instrumentals transport me.
Beautiful cover of the Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions song. Great job Mr. Rod Stewart and Mr. Jeff Beck! Jeff Beck you will be missed. R.I.P. baby
In 1969, Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart, as well as Ron Wood (of The Stones) were all members of The Jeff Beck Group, Beck's first band after he left The Yardbirds. Their first album, Truth, is incredible. If you'd like to hear more, I'd suggest checking out Let Me Love You Baby, Ain't Superstitious, and the awesome cover of Ole Man River. The album is as legandary as the members in the band!
The whole Blow by Blow album is such an experience. My son is a guitarist and I turned him on to JB when he was twelve. JB has been his favorite guitarist ever since.
I think the world is a sadder place with him gone, we keep losing the greats and I hope there's some new guitar heroes who'll grow up great and follow their fretboards to glory.
You started with the wrong song. "I Ain't Superstitious" is the one you gotta hear. You'll never hear another song like it. Beck discovered Rod Stewart singing in a nightclub. Beck also gave Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones his start. He played bass in the band.
Amber and J ... ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for completing this requested reaction!! Love you Both and LOVE this song!! RIP Jeff 🙏 you are loved and will be missed beyond measure!! @RobSquadReactions
Another banger, I remember when I picked up the 'Flash' album in 1985 with this track, the two Jeff Beck Group albums with Rod Stewart from 68 and 69 are essential.
I was first introduced to Jeff Beck in the early 70's with the double album Truth/Beckola mainly because I was such a huge Rod Stewart fan, but became a Jeff fan as well....this song is the ultimate Rock Gospel
Rod Stewart played with Jeff Beck in 1969 on a tour of America and did vocals on The Jeff Beck Group album "Truth " released in 1968 after Becks' success in the legendary group The Yardbirds
Jeff and Rod's version came out in 1985... 20 years after the original by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. Great version... thank you for giving Jeff a listen. One of Jeff's best solos can be found in his song "Cause We've Ended As Lovers". He really makes the guitar cry. If you do the Live at Ronnie Scott's video version you can hear a killer Bass solo by female bass player Tal Wilkenfeld. One of my favorite quiet ones by Jeff is "Where Were You" from his Guitar Shop album. I could put that thing on loop and just drift off to sleep listening to it.
The guitarist, famous guitarists went to see. And a humble person to boot. Little is talked of the number of female musicians he has employed, mentored, encouraged and given a nudge to their careers. He never mentions it, but check any live performance and there they are. I'm so pleased he played at Ronnie Scott's before he passed. He was so stoked to have knocked it off his bucket list.
This makes TEN Rod Stewart songs you've done! Not at all surprised, the man's discography is ten miles long! I'd love for you to react to "Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)", "Baby Jane", "Passion", "Infatuation", or "My Heart Can't Tell You No". P.S. By my count, you guys are TEN DAYS AWAY from hitting 2000 videos!!!
I'll never forget hearing this in Greg's jeep, a guitarist and a singer on the way to go do a gig. As a Christian rock band, it couldn't have hit any sweeter for us. An amazing creation. Praying this great guitarist was ready for the sweetness of the Good God's eternal love.... Mark Lajoie
One of the best rock guitarists combining with one of the best rock singers to remake an old spiritual song! It shows how talented they both are in that they can do any genre of song and do it well. Few artists can pull that off.
Thank you so much, I've been asking for this one for a while! Jeff was one of my favorite guitarists, he still is as a matter of fact. He knew how to make his guitar sing! You would like "Beck's Bolero," it features Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones pre-Led Zeppelin, and drummer Keith Moon from The Who.
There's a live version of this from around 2010 where Rod comes on stage unexpected and started singing this song, Jeff did look truly surprised, GREAT PERFORMANCES!!!
Jeff was so insanely good. Rod did vocals on Jeff’s first 2 albums Check out “Couse we ended as Lovers “. (Live at Ronnie Scott’s). The bassist will blow you away
I didn't know Jeff Beck had just passed. I saw this song on another reaction channel recently and was gobsmacked by how incredible it was. I had heard it many times before but it had been decades and I think I took it for granted. Now I just think that it's a rare song where both the vocal and the guitar are individually extraordinary, while also working perfectly together in unison. Jeff Beck was able to gets sounds out of his guitar that no one would ever summon. Rest in peace. Sadly next up you need to react to De la Soul with the death of Dave.
This song was originally written by Curtis Mayfield after the famous March on Washington in 1963! Originally sung by the Impressions but I love this Rod Stewart/ Jeff Beck remake! Jeff Beck was a legendary rock guitarist whom we recently lost! RIP❤❤🙏🏿
This is a remarkable song and video! Rod is really a great singer, his voice seems to be smooth and gravelly at the same time, and Jeff really was one if not the greatest guitar players of all time. This song really demonstrates his playing ability, it sounds like a human voice more than just a guitar. This song was written by the remarkable Curtis Mayfield years ago and was a pretty big hit, Jeff and Rob do such a great job with it, I wish Curtis had been alive to hear it. If you get the chance, check out more songs by Curtis Mayfield, and more Jeff Beck. Thanks for the video, it brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.
Jeff , god bless him a unique guitar maestro. The album Truth featuring Rod on vocals was released 55 years ago in July. I had tickets to see Jeff but the show was cancelled due to covid, couldn’t make the rescheduled date and I’m so sad I was unable to see a genius at work. This is a wonderful track a lovely way to salute such a one off skilled musician.
Jay, you will love Jeff Beck's bassist Tal Wilkenfeld. She is one of the best bass players currently on the planter. Looks like a young teenager, but she's a grown woman - superb musician and also a good singer in her own right.
Thanks for playing this Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart recording!. Jeff Beck was my favorite guitarist from the British Invasion, even more than Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page. Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple was my second guitarist. Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart were what Led Zeppelin became on their 1968 and 1969 albums, especially Truth. I prefer Rod Stewart to Robert Plant as well. That's not a criticism.of Plant and page either. Excellent reaction video!
I was very ucky to be able to see both Rod and Jeff back in the day. What a great time it was....Love you two for sharing the music I grew up with! R.I.P. Jeff!
Rod Stewart's 'The Motown Song' is his tribute to Motown. It's a good one! One of my favorites of his besides 'Forever Young', is 'My Heart Can't Tell You No'.
Jeff Beck was an amazing guitarist. The world lost a master. This is a beautiful song.
Part of the soul! Great Amber! Thanks for this! yes emotional guitar and Rod.
-rest in paradise- 😔 🕯
-#beautiful-
It's a great cover. Curtis Mayfield would be proud.
Well said. R.I.P. Jeff Beck
Been waiting for you to do this for so long. Love this song
"The guitar was singing the song" AMEN!
This song is a classic by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It was and still is a major hit.
I HIGHLY recommend listening to the Impressions' version.
They were just called The Impressions - Curtis never took lead billing.
Yes, it's a classic and Rod and Beck do a good version but nowhere near as good as the original. Spoiled by Beck's OTT guitar. Anybody who bought and heard the original will know what I mean. Missed the soul of the original.
❤
Beck and Stewart’s album Truth is a masterpiece.
The Jeff Beck Group.
Yes indeed. I still have that album
Please listen to Blues Deluxe from the Truth album!!!
My favorite from Truth is "Ol' Man River"
Truth is a Beck solo album, anytime rod was paired with Beck it was in the Jeff Beck group with Ronnie Wood on bass. Beck basically discovered rod
You gotta check out Jeff Beck’s instrumental song, ‘Cause We Ended As Lovers. Transformative, epic, spiritual, somber, and beautiful.
Most definitely
Yes!!
Yes! It's stunning.
Jeff Beck created what we know as the Modern day guitarist.
Especially Love the version done at the 2007 Crossroads festival with Vinnie and Tal. Because Tal was just 20/21 and he gave her that Solo on the first song of the set, to show the crowd who she was something most stars of hi stature wouldn't do.
Guitar part of a human soul? Wow! You nailed it Amber. I've been listening to Jeff my whole life and this the perfect description.
I love this cover of Curtis Mayfield's song! I thought this was a perfect tribute song for the legendary Jeff Beck too! 🖤🤘
Thank you. I knew I had heard this before.
@@ryanawilson8549 you're welcome!
Curtis Mayfield's version of the song is an absolute classic.

Rod got his start as lead singer in The Jeff Beck Group.
One of the best ever gospel songs, and a fantastic version. Rod's vocals, with Jeff Beck's immeasurable guitar solo, probably the greatest ever!
Jeff Beck could make a guitar sound like voice singing.....he was a genius....taken for granted for sure, now hes gone.....
This is one of my favorite songs. Period. Been a huge Rod Stewart fan from his beginning and the magic he and Jeff Beck have together with the call and response between Rod's voice and Jeff's guitar is unforgettable.

Rod Stewart is a hoax!
This is the most Beautiful song, the Guitar is singing the most Amazing Soul Heart Of your being, perfect for Rod is saying all the words I already know I want to get on that Train, this is one of the Songs I will have Played when I am laid to rest, Jeff Beck is such and Incredible Artist, his Music is just flowing from his Soul, My Favorite Guitarist 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Lisa Einsohn
Recommend Rod singing Tom Wait's "Downtown Train" and Robbie Robertson's "Broken Arrow". Rods interpretations of both are amazing. RIP Jeff Beck.
Recommend Tom Waits singing Downtown Trains
Sailing is absolutely beautiful!
Jeff made his guitar cry. RIP Jeff
Jeff and Rod go way back. That's another reason why this video is so great. It had been a long time since they worked together.
Jeff Beck could make a guitar sound like no one else could. R.I.P. ☮❤🎶
He created the modern day guitarist.
People dont often realize it but Rod is a soul singer. It doesn't matter what he sings.
Totally agree
He also sang DISCO!
@David Dill He did one disco song and it was a parody. The Rolling Stones did a disco song and it was serious.
To me, Rod's finest hour and Jeff is transcendent. R.I.P.
I failed to appreciate this song when it first came out. Being older, I am blown away when I hear it. The great thing about music is that as you age, you find more treasures.
Same here. I thought it was an okay song, but hearing many years later finally realized how amazing it is.
These two have a long history together going back the 60s and The Jeff Beck group. They had an 80s hit with "Infatuation", a real rocker.
Jeff also does a great instrumental cover of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life".
Ufff INFATUATION is Incredible💥
YES, I hope they do "Infatuation". It is one of my favorite Rod Stewart songs, and also one of my favorite Jeff Beck songs.
Always loved this Curtis Mayfield song and especially this great version of Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart !!
So many of my family members have boarded that train in the last couple of years. RIP
Live version “Cause we ended as Lovers” is incredible. And the young woman playing bass is jaw dropping.
Tal Wilkenfeld.
Close your eyes and enjoy this song sooo good ✝️
Too bad their eyes were closed when Rod was giving Jeff a long hug in the video. Brought more emotion now.
Losing Jeff Beck was hard. I took guitar lessons in grammar school because of Beck and Clapton. Turns out my fingers aren’t long enough, or weren’t in 7th grade. Watching my heroes slip away has been really hard. Rod and Jeff performed a lot together. Rod Stewart better live forever. I just couldn’t take that.

I was waiting for someone to react to this song/video...one of my favorites from the 80s. Graduated high school in '82. Best decade in many ways!
These two played together in Jeff Beck Group...Blues and rock. RIP JEFF😇😇😇
This song was first released in 1965 by The Impressions. Jeff does a stellar guitar performance while Rod's vocal
solo just beautiful. The instruments, especially the organ, make a wonderful backing.
It's been covered by Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Chamber Btothers, Vanilla Fudge, to name a few. People Get Ready, was in reference to passing on, catching the train that took you to the promise land.
Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes Curtis Mayfield was the lead singer in that version. They are both Awesome.
Who wrote it?
@@nadzee7101 Curtis Mayfield.
Jeff Beck ""Wired" album is Just Beck playing the guitar, and it is unbelievable.

A song that's telling people to get ready for death and what comes after. "You just thank the lord." Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck were remarkable on this song.

@@TahoeNevada Oh yeah, Rod and the Faces were incredible!
The whole Blow by Blow album is such an experience. My son is a guitarist and I turned him on to JB when he was twelve. JB has been his favorite guitarist ever since.
Jeff or Geoff really is not gonna rest he will rock forever! With his magic fingers that gave the sound only Jeff could do
I think the world is a sadder place with him gone, we keep losing the greats and I hope there's some new guitar heroes who'll grow up great and follow their fretboards to glory.
Jeff Beck gave Rod Stewart his big break in Feb. '67, when he recruited him for the Jeff Beck Group
Two of the G.O.A.T's. RIP Jeff. He was one of the best guitarists around and respected by so many, including Rod.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Jeff beck was anazing
Amazing 💥 Jeff & Rod ❤️ Simply a Perfect Song 🌟 Great Job Guys 🍻
Amber, I don’t know what it is, but your reactions to all this music are some sort of touchstone. Thank you.
Rod got his start singing lead in the Jeff Beck group back in the late 60's.
'Reason to Believe' by Rod Amber - such a beautiful song..........
You started with the wrong song. "I Ain't Superstitious" is the one you gotta hear. You'll never hear another song like it. Beck discovered Rod Stewart singing in a nightclub. Beck also gave Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones his start. He played bass in the band.
So glad you did this, it’s a soaring and glorious song.
Songs "BLUES DELUXE", " BECK'S BOLERO", "PLYNTH", " GREENSLEEVES", "AIN'T SUPERSTITIOUS" , "FREEWAY FLYER", AND SO MANY MORE!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Amber and J ... ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for completing this requested reaction!! Love you Both and LOVE this song!! RIP Jeff 🙏 you are loved and will be missed beyond measure!! @RobSquadReactions
Big Jeff Beck fan, love Rod. Every time I see Rod hug Jeff like that, it's emotional!
As one of the many, many people asking for this song, thank you. One of the most powerful songs around.
I was fortunate enough to see him tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan in 89
Another banger, I remember when I picked up the 'Flash' album in 1985 with this track, the two Jeff Beck Group albums with Rod Stewart from 68 and 69 are essential.

❤️ one of my favorite songs Rod Stewart sings, Jeff Beck’s guitar playing is awesome
It's a Curtis Mayfield song, Rod was covering it
Rod Stewart played with Jeff Beck in 1969 on a tour of America and did vocals on The Jeff Beck Group album "Truth " released in 1968 after Becks' success in the legendary group The Yardbirds
Jeff Beck played in the Yardbirds, Faces, Jeff Beck Group, and Beck, Bogart & Apiece, and solo, playing as guest guitar in many tribute performances😍😍
Faces? Rod and Ronnie left Jeff to join the remaining Small Faces after Steve Marriott left.
Thank you so much for doing this song. It was my mother's favorite, and we played it when we scattered her ashes. Such a beautiful version!
Jeff and Rod's version came out in 1985... 20 years after the original by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. Great version... thank you for giving Jeff a listen. One of Jeff's best solos can be found in his song "Cause We've Ended As Lovers". He really makes the guitar cry.

This is the Impression's song!!! It's a classic!
How about more the original version by Curtis Mayfield. Can we make that happen ??

I still think this is Rod's best singing & there will never be another like Jeff Beck. R.I.P. Jeff.
Sailing
RIP JEFF BECK!! We will remember you always!! ❤️❤️❤️
It brought me to Church too! Rip Jeff Beff! Thanks Rod. Great duet!
Jeff Beck
One of the best rock guitarists combining with one of the best rock singers to remake an old spiritual song! It shows how talented they both are in that they can do any genre of song and do it well. Few artists can pull that off.
Good song good reaction
Beautiful message...the lyrics are powerful

Two masters doing their thing and the result is pure classic. RIP Jeff and Rod.
This song is a perfect example of Jeck Beck's greatness, an absolute masterpiece!❤
Jeff was so insanely good. Rod did vocals on Jeff’s first 2 albums Check out “Couse we ended as Lovers “. (Live at Ronnie Scott’s). The bassist will blow you away
Infatuation is the 80s song you are looking for and didn't even know it. Rod on vocals and Jeff on guitar. It rocks.
Jeff only did the solo on Infatuation, the other parts were played by Michael Landau.
YES! Amber I feel the same way, especially with the music we grew up with in the 60's 70's and 80's.
I love Rod Stewart when he was in the group, "Faces." Very rock and roll.
There is a great live version where Rod just shows up and starts singing unbeknownst to Jeff who looks genuinely surprised. Check it out
I just checked out the video. Thanks. Beck genuinely surprised. Great performance.

This is a wonderful track a lovely way to salute such a one off skilled musician.
A must hear is Jeffs version of The Beatles a day in the life... Either the studio version or live from Ronnie Scott's they're both awesome
Amber. A perfect example of the guitar singing the song is Gary Moore "Still got the blues" Live version. Amazing.
They reacted to that one a couple months ago. The song, I mean. Not the live version.
Not reacting to the live version was a big mistake
Jay, you will love Jeff Beck's bassist Tal Wilkenfeld. She is one of the best bass players currently on the planter. Looks like a young teenager, but she's a grown woman - superb musician and also a good singer in her own right.
Thanks for playing this Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart recording!. Jeff Beck was my favorite guitarist from the British Invasion, even more than Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page. Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple was my second guitarist.
Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart were what Led Zeppelin became on their 1968 and 1969 albums, especially Truth. I prefer Rod Stewart to Robert Plant as well. That's not a criticism.of Plant and page either.
Excellent reaction video!
I was very ucky to be able to see both Rod and Jeff back in the day. What a great time it was....Love you two for sharing the music I grew up with!
R.I.P. Jeff!
Rod Stewart's 'The Motown Song' is his tribute to Motown. It's a good one! One of my favorites of his besides 'Forever Young', is 'My Heart Can't Tell You No'.
