Big time HF fan, for a long time. You got pipes, bud! Nailed it! (I'm Air Force retired, living in the P.I., and you have a LOT of fans here!). I'm so into acapella now. Amazing what all you guys are capable of. Don't split up the group...ever! Do your own thing sure, but pls don't break up the "boys".
Most of the percussion is Adam, but they all get in on the action from time to time. When they do "Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up" live in concert, Austin helps out with the harmonica sounds, just to amplify it.
No disrespect and I realize Percy did it first, doesn’t mean Home Free didn’t do it better!! Just saying! In my mind this is a better version but that’s just me whatever.
This song is a classic by PERCY SLEDGE !! It was just an OK cover by Michael Bolton. Just sayin'. The drums are all Adam, but their sound in the recording is treated like real drums. But it's all vocals.
You're going to love it , Austin kills it in this video man his voice is amazing it was so good I went and got my wife out of the kitchen replayed it and dance with her in the living room❤❤
Austin was the perfect guy for this song. You can feel how he feels when he's singing. His girlfriend Amberly was in the studio when he sang this. Your reaction was great.
Schnell, Austin is unrivaled in modern acapella music, and is one of the best voices in the industry. Tim told him several years ago that he needed to do this one !!
I saw another comment from another reactor it said Austin's girlfriend was in the studio when he did this no wonder he did it like he did. I really love your reactions I've seen you do several of Angelina and so young so I'm constantly looking forward to any reactions that you're doing. Keep it up!
@@AustinBrownMusic I do appreciate that you attempt damage control but you're going to be like the proverbial one-armed paper hanger trying to keep up with all the rumors/false info/fakes. 😜 Do love your music, both solo and with Home Free. See you in concert!
Percussion is entirely Adam. But on a lot of these studio productions for utmost clarity and work-ability he records individual drum sounds on multiple tracks and then they are layered into the final mix. Not to say he can't sound almost identical to this live though, the guy has a beyond incredible talent.
Percy Sledge performed this right after his girlfriend dumped him. Walking on stage, he told the band to play something and created the song in the moment. They took it to the studio, polished it up, and released a classic song that stands the test of time. You really should hear it...
On Wikipedia Percy Sledge has two versions of the story. It wasn't on stage, but before they were going on stage. After performing their regular gig, they all three worked on it for weeks. At first Percy was angry the song writers got most the credit but later said it was a group project. Most great songs are. Each of the artist's influencers and co-workers usually add something even if it is only a suggestion.
Agree, not to take away anything from Percy Sledge he did right it after all and was the first but many times artist perform covers that are better than the original.
Austin was (and is) an amazing vocalist and this song was a perfect showcase for his talent and hard work. I was glad to see Adam get some notice, that man is a one-man band and a darn good singer on his own. He is such a key part of Home Free’s sound.
Which would I rather be? Smarter or more popular? Neither, I would rather be kinder. That is world changing, or at least your immediate world. And a more positive mindset. It cost nothing to be kind and respectful.
The face you made when Austin chimed in at first was priceless! Loved it! He knocked this one into the stratosphere with his vocals. Yes, Adam is a phenomenal beatboxer/vocal percussionist. He has progressed by leaps and bounds since they won the Sing Off and continues to add effects to his already expansive set of skills! The harmonies were amazing, and Tim holding the bass was awesome! On to your question: I definitely would choose to be smarter than popular!
Austin, you are such a flirt with those brown eyes of yours you cutie!!! You know you're flirting, all of us ladies know it too!! The band is great, and this song was made for you, what a beautiful voice you have!!!
Smartest, popularity is an illusion that leaves when it's fickle audience changes. In 15 minutes , 3 days or 10 years popularity may well be gone, but smarts...that stays. Austin's voice is incredible in this performance. Percy is smiling! Adam = one bad beatboxing boy!! This is now my fav of theirs. Ok went back 5 times to hear that ending...wow.
Tim (the Bass)...said when this came out...”In 9 months, I’d bet there’s a few little ones being born “...LOLOLOL.....HES probably right 💖🙃‼️ Austin also has a new solo...”AT LAST “ ...an Etta James cover...he Slays it 💖🙃‼️
Brains over popularity hands down. This is an iconic Percy Sledge song from the 60's. Percy's opening line blew me away back then. Austin's/ Home Free's version is tops for an A Capella group. Still..........Percy's voice has been burned into my head for 55 yrs and still trumps Home Free, but Kudos to HF. Thx Schnell for your reaction..
Home Free never, ever uses instruments in their group songs. They will if a member makes a solo recording. They only time they have ever used an "instrument" that I know of is when they do Man of Constant Sorrow live. Then they use a "looper" because there is so much going on but everything you hear even with the looper is their voices. If you ever get the chance to attend one of their concerts, GO! You will never ask that question again. Tim has a solo recording of I Can't Help Falling In Love. It really shows his range.
Exactly. Smart only means you can learn quickly. Or at best regurgitate. Smart is useless. Give me a stupid person who works hard as they will get the right answer because they have to be more observant than everyone else.
Oh my goodness, all that goodness!!! The voices that just come and melt together yet so incredibly strong!!! They reach into your very soul and become part of you! The lead singer, Austin is amazing talented and so very easy on the eyes!!! ❤️
Here Austin's sound makes me think of a cloth falling onto an apple, where other tenors in this range make me feel that they are standing on tippy toes trying to pluck that same apple. He sings this with so much power that you always feel he still has more left in reserve.
I love your reactions!!...btw if you liked this one plz react to UNCHAINED MELODY by austin on his channel...it is uuumazzzing!!!plz plz plz..thank you!!...ps you have a beautiful voice,yes i am sub to your other channel!!
I just melted when he started singing this !!!!! Austin has his u tube channel where he does his own music ( since Home Free had to cut short their World Tour because of covid ) Austin has had the time to do some of his own music and NO he's not leaving Home Free... Check out Austins " Unchained Melody " and some of his originals there. Great reaction and keep them coming...
I am generally regarded as the smartest person, in a setting where knowledge is king. What's not to like? Also smart enough to know that added intellect does not mean added value as a human being. We are all God's equally precious children.
Absolutely be the smartest person. Because being the smartest person you could figure a way to be the most popular person. But to be the most popular person you can't be the most smartest person LOL
They all can contribute different sounds...and Adam does use a looper sometimes to layer...but for the most part, Adam does all the percussion...for instance, in the Butts Medley, when Adam is doing the DJ Scratching sounds during the "Baby got back" song, Tim was doing the basic beat boxing, which you can see while he is standing next to Rob and beatboxing into his ear.
Adam Rupp is a 2 time world champ Beatboxer/Loopstation Champ. He Only got better with age. Austin's EX Burned him bad so he has the Soul and Heart to pump into this part.
Schnell, I LOVE your DRESS. I ALWAYS only wear High Heels and ALWAYS a DRESS or occasionally a Skirt with a cute blouse so I always love when I see other women in any of the same. Yes, it is ADAM although there are others that can contribute with sounds. I was kind of lucky to be able to teach my Math teachers things they didn't know and as head cheerleader I was popular too. I actually had offers for full scholarships to College but I turned them down to stay home to continue taking care of my dad and 4 brothers as my mom passed when I was 14. I had been the family caretaker since her health started declining when I was 9.
I missed seeing you for the live stream with Camille yesterday. Hope you are having a good day. Thanks for sharing and bless you for taking care of your family.
I don't know if each person had their own layer or if delicate layers with in offset was used. Those instrumental sounds are legit but since this is music video there is creative license to modify volume, add layers etc. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. The issue arises when people spend money and time to watch simeone perform "live" and they lipsynch. This is not that case.
The female power version of him is SoHyang. "Bridge over troubled water" she does you would think were 2 different singers just listening from her soft to power voice. A tidbit about SoHyang... Sony reached out to her and offered her a contract...... and she told them no. LOL
Yes, Austins voice is perfect for this song !! He can sing anything actually. I was lucky to see Home Free live in concert in Wichita Kansas, We were in the first row and the theater was an older venue with a shorter stage. We were able to be very close to Adam and we could see how hard he works to makes those impressive sounds !!! Amazing to see Adam throat working non stop, I dont know how he is able to keep it up for so long. It was an unbelievablely good concert experience and we are all hoping life gets back to normal soon to they can start touring again.
I think they can go together . I know when I first worked for the National Park Service at Indiana Dunes, I think during training I took the most notes and just retained the information, plus I had a file of notes from college courses in my office. Other rangers would often come to me asking natural history questions, so I don't know that I was THE MOST popular, but I was popular because I was knowledgeable, or if by chance I didn't know the answer, often I could quickly find the answer in my files. So, I wouldn't want to popular for something superficial, but I think one can have a bit of both and maybe that is ;more genuine and satisfying, and probably more enduring.
Austin has the tonality that effects me the same way Morissette natural tone nuances. His falsetto also seems to be a mix, it's too well connected to just be upper head voice/falsetto. I can be wrong.
Adam often multi-tracks his beat boxing, and Tim is also very adept. In fact, all five guys can and have backed him in beat boxing. There's a live version of "9 to 5" where they all do it at once.
It's all vocal, yes, not necessarily only Adam, they all help fill in every now and then, with bass, and percussions, but yeah, Rupp is the main artist behind percussion and rythm (beatboxing)
I know what it's like to be the smartest one in school. Means you end up doing other people's homework, and you're socially inept and never quite fit in. If I could, I might like to try something else for a change. The original of this song was by Percy Sledge. I agree that this cover is in the same category as Sedge and Bolton. For a quieter rendition, you could check out Art Garfunkel's take. PTX and Voiceplay occasionally use instruments. When they do, they show them plainly. Home Free never uses instruments. However, in some of their newer songs, they use looping onstage (and in the studio). In Man of Constant Sorrow, Chance does the Jaw Harp, and Adam does the regular percussion and then loops that while he does the fake harmonica.
Thank you so much for giving a me new group to listen to. Soooo god, love the sound of those guys and would like to hear more of them. Greetings from a Norwegian friend.
You should check out their performances on The Sing-Off, season 4. Tim does an amazing rendition of I Can't Help Falling in Love With You that showcases his amazing range. He also does a mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay that is incredible.
Percy Sledge, the original on the song would be proud. Never thought anyone could match Percy. Percy Sledge wrote this song on stage after having trouble between him and his girl.
I like how all the women reacting to him fall in love after the first not. I remember when I was young I would sing like this all the time. Yeah in my dreams. Austin killed this song. My wife always tells me that I get these man crushes. The first one was Matthew McConaughey, the second was Henry Cavill. If Austin sees this he will be number three. Wow just Wow.
Schnell your dad must have liked Michael Bolton's cover of this Percy Sledge song. An all time classic to be sure. I have never been concerned with being popular. I never considered myself smart, probably because I hung around with smarter people. I do believe I learned a lot from those very smart friends and co-workers and now realize that I have my own special skills.
I own the business so I can honestly say that my wife is the smartest and most popular person in my workplace. 😝 In all of the other places I’ve worked, the smartest person was the one that was mostly quiet but kept their ears wide open. Taking in the good and throwing out the bad. Eventually that person climbed the popularity ladder because they were a good listener as well. Win/win. It’s best to be a blend of both because no one person knows everything and you want the person that does know to be willing to help you.
First bought this was one when Percy Sledge put it out in 1966, first had the vinyl first then recorded it to 8-Track in early 70's, now it's digitized to a MP3.
You really need to check out a live "drum solo" from Adam!! You'll be blown away! Have you seen Austin's cover of Unchained Melody? If you want a good time check out their Butts Remix and Country Fried Pop Medley!
Michael Who?!?!?! PLEASE don't call this his! This was ALL Percy Sledge from 1966 [when I was a sophomore in High school]. Smart for me as well! Yes, My Love.... those "Drums" are all Adam. This "Drum Solo" may help convince you once and for all: ua-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/v-deo.html Also, FYI... Austin's eye contact here was actually with his GF Amberly who was in the studio when he recorded this. Check out one of his latest covers, the Glen Miller Orchestra classic, also made a classic again in 1960 by Etta James - At Last: ua-cam.com/video/O0Q9IeLgPvk/v-deo.html which he sings in the same key as Etta did.
Actually Percy Sledge sang the original when music had meaning. Can you imagine slow dancing to this when you were in high school like I was. What a song!
Ahhhh thank you for this video!!
My man, you killed this one.
Lovely singing my dude ❤
Austin, just...INCREDIBLE. If you guys ever tour Europe, I'm all in. 😀
Austin you did amazing as always! You killed it!

Amazing what all you guys are capable of. Don't split up the group...ever! Do your own thing sure, but pls don't break up the "boys".
All of that percussion is Adam. We like to call him the human drum kit.
There is a YT video out there showing him doing a drum solo. With no drums.
All the other guys pitch in as percussion
Most of the percussion is Adam, but they all get in on the action from time to time. When they do "Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up" live in concert, Austin helps out with the harmonica sounds, just to amplify it.
Schnell, Percy Sledge actually did it 1st in 1966 :)
And the version most known!
I actually hadn't heard of any other version because it's so famous.
oh Percy was a beast.
Percy didn't do it like this.
No disrespect and I realize Percy did it first, doesn’t mean Home Free didn’t do it better!! Just saying! In my mind this is a better version but that’s just me whatever.
Percy Sledge did it before Michael Bolton. But Austin has knocked it out of the park!!! Absolutely jaw dropping!
This arrangement was perfect for Austin. I feel that he did a better cover than Bolton or anyone else.
check the orginal by Persy Sledge
@@level600a Austin's version is so much better.

Love Percy! Not enough people reacting to his music.
Right... from 1966. This cover is more like the original than being a cover of the Michael Bolton cover.
ya wish. I saw Percy in person live and Austin killed this.

This version here is better than the original, by a whole bunch, it's not even close....
LOL 😂😂 I have no idea where you came up with this story!! 😂😂 the song was written by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright
On Wikipedia Percy Sledge has two versions of the story.
It wasn't on stage, but before they were going on stage. After performing
their regular gig, they all three worked on it for weeks. At first Percy was
angry the song writers got most the credit but later said it was a group project.
Most great songs are. Each of the artist's influencers and co-workers usually

He recorded it in 1966
For your next Home Free I still think you should check out their cover of John Meyer's "In The Blood"
They all can beatbox however this is all Adam Rupp with Tim Foust carrying the Bass. Chance and Rob are the harmony
In my not so humble opinion, this version by Austin is actually better than Percy's original, I'm just sayin'....🤷🏻♂️✌🏻

Michael Bolton may have covered it but The song belongs to PercySledge!
This song was first recorded by Percy Sledge back in 1966. Michael Bolton did a cover of it in 1991.
Absolutely be the smartest person. Because being the smartest person you could figure a way to be the most popular person. But to be the most popular person you can't be the most smartest person LOL
Do you mean Smart or Intelligent, some people are smart(meaning they know facts), and others are intelligent (meaning they can analyze and adapt)?

Austin had his gf in the studio and was singing to her
Adam Rupp is a 2 time world champ Beatboxer/Loopstation Champ. He Only got better with age.
Austin's EX Burned him bad so he has the Soul and Heart to pump into this part.

You should hear Austin sing "O Holy night" his range competes with this one. And Tim has his moments, too.

One reason Austin was putting so much into this song is that his girlfriend was in the studio, so he was actually singing to her.

Bolton covered a Percy Sledge hit. Listen to the original R&B hit from some 50ish years ago.

His falsetto also seems to be a mix, it's too well connected to just be upper head voice/falsetto. I can be wrong.

Percy Sledge, the original on the song would be proud. Never thought anyone could match Percy. Percy Sledge wrote this song on stage after having trouble between him and his girl.
I like how all the women reacting to him fall in love after the first not. I remember when I was young I would sing like this all the time. Yeah in my dreams. Austin killed this song. My wife always tells me that I get these man crushes. The first one was Matthew McConaughey, the second was Henry Cavill. If Austin sees this he will be number three. Wow just Wow.
Mike didn't write this song, it was Percy Sledge. IT truly is a blues song.
Yes all of us ladies feel that Austin is serenading us!
I honestly feel that Austin was totally born in the wrong decade. His voice is so made for these types of songs
Schnell your dad must have liked Michael Bolton's cover of this Percy Sledge song. An all time classic to be sure. I have never been concerned with being popular. I never considered myself smart, probably because I hung around with smarter people. I do believe I learned a lot from those very smart friends and co-workers and now realize that I have my own special skills.
I own the business so I can honestly say that my wife is the smartest and most popular person in my workplace. 😝
In all of the other places I’ve worked, the smartest person was the one that was mostly quiet but kept their ears wide open. Taking in the good and throwing out the bad. Eventually that person climbed the popularity ladder because they were a good listener as well. Win/win. It’s best to be a blend of both because no one person knows everything and you want the person that does know to be willing to help you.
Austin Brown is a great Tenor.
First bought this was one when Percy Sledge put it out in 1966, first had the vinyl first then recorded it to 8-Track in early 70's, now it's digitized to a MP3.
omg!!!! never heard such amazing stuff before. Home Free has definitely found another fan. Lovely presentation Schnell. U are the best!!!!!!
as a guy, I can only imagine if as a gal , to be sung to like this!!!
Home Free is the best. Great reaction
I think someone has a crush.
Classic by Michael Bolton....... uh.... Percy Sledge performed the original NOT Michael Bolton.
This is a really amazing cover I must admit,It has been covered by almost everyone,but I still love the original by Percy Sledge!
This cover here is better than the original, by far, it's not even close...
@@branon6565 LiberalsAreTrash….Ain’t it the truth!!! LOL 😂
Percussion- Adam Rupp. Bass line (and sometimes bass drum) Tim or Adam Chance (or both).
You really need to check out a live "drum solo" from Adam!! You'll be blown away! Have you seen Austin's cover of Unchained Melody? If you want a good time check out their Butts Remix and Country Fried Pop Medley!
Please react to David Phelps Hello Beautiful! Or I Have Nothing!! Amazing !! You’ll not be disappointed!
Smartest, any day.
Michael Who?!?!?! PLEASE don't call this his! This was ALL Percy Sledge from 1966 [when I was a sophomore in High school]. Smart for me as well!
Yes, My Love.... those "Drums" are all Adam. This "Drum Solo" may help convince you once and for all: ua-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/v-deo.html
Also, FYI... Austin's eye contact here was actually with his GF Amberly who was in the studio when he recorded this. Check out one of his latest covers, the Glen Miller Orchestra classic, also made a classic again in 1960 by Etta James - At Last: ua-cam.com/video/O0Q9IeLgPvk/v-deo.html which he sings in the same key as Etta did.
Actually Percy Sledge sang the original when music had meaning. Can you imagine slow dancing to this when you were in high school like I was. What a song!
