Chris, sorry to rain on your parade, but this isn’t the case. I also enjoy these (now) oldies and remember all the words, but research shows musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer's disease because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease. You’ll need to try something else to test for Alzheimer’s. ☹️
I feel you, Chris. I'm 75 years old. I may not remember why I went into a room five seconds ago, but I can still sing --flawlessly-- the lyrics of every song I loved in high school!!
England Dan and John Ford Coley are a soft rock duo from this era. "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" "Nights Are Forever Without You" "It's Sad to Belong" "Gone Too Far" "We'll Never Haev to Say Goodbye Again" and "Love is the Answer"
You missed Bread and anything from them is great but especially Everything I Own. The best one by England Dan and John Ford Coley is Love Is The Answer.... Then there's Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - Fallin' In Love.
@@Stacey7742 Me too makes me cry like crazy, I didn't know he wrote that song about his Dad. When I hear it I think about 2 people one the man I love and lost and two I think about my Mom both died in the last few years and I miss them something awful I hear that song and cry my eyes out. Its a gut wrenching song just like the rest mentioned and here's another one like those Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
Finally, Firefall - Vastly underrated and under appreciated band. They need way more publicity! Plunge DOWN that rabbit hole!! Atlantic Rythym Section is another band that needs some love!
This was called "soft rock" back in the day. Some other similar groups were Ambrosia, Player, Poco and The Little River Band. All worth checking out. Happy New Year!
Yea, as he said, Player is a must. "Baby Come Back." Was a mega hit in the 70s. Major rotation on the radio. Think it was their only Hit, but so worth listening to. And can't forget. "Brandy" by Looking Glass
To me not even close im 63 The 70s music was the best for me. But the 80s were very good for me too I was born again By the Lord Jesus Christ in 1983 and my daughter was born in 1987 The Lord Jesus has given me so much peace .And he can you to if you put all your trust in Him and in Him alone Known that he has forgiven you as well. IF YOU PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN HIM He made it possible to save everyone from Hell, were we all belong. Because we are all born in sin and we are all wicked. But he took all our shame and nailed it to the cross .
I saw this group in concert. I wish they would have produced more because they were so easy on the ears. Another good group from that time was Pablo Cruise.
I saw them in an outdoor concert late 70's at Kings Dominion in VA it was at the end of their tour the lead singer barely had a voice left but many stayed at the end that they did many encores 30+ minutes because the crowd was so crazy for them they were so appreciative said never had an audience like ours (probably said to others I am sure)
@@ronnix23 wow haven’t heard Poco in a long while. If I remember correctly, the lead singer passed away not too long ago. “Heart Of The Night”, “Spellbound” and of course “Crazy Love” all good songs that take me back to my early teen years.
When It Comes To Beautiful Music,, You Can ALWAYS Count On "Firefall",, "Bread" & "America",, All With HUGE Catalogs Of Classic Hits Well Worth Exploring.
The 70s was a diverse but great time for music (I'm class of '78). On the folk side we had James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot. In progressive rock we had Yes, Kansas, Styx. And we had Led Zeppelin and Queen, Heart and Fleetwood Mac. We also had Billy Joel and Elton John, Bob Seeger and Foreigner, etc., etc. The late 70s brought in Disco (for better or worse) with Bee Gees, Donna Summer, etc., etc. Just powerhouses in every genre. Most of us didn't really think about genre too much; we just liked what we liked. My record collection wasn't huge but it was diverse.
Another great 70s song, that sounds similar to this song is AFTERNOON DELIGHT. by the Starland Vocal Band. The sound of the song is very soft like this song, and Amber you will love the groups wholesome appearance and 70s clothes, However as you listen to the song you will quickly see what the song is about.......I dont want to give away any more, I will just say it was such a huge hit, the group got their own tv show.
Sort of the same vibe is an act called England Dan and John Ford Coley. “Nights Are Forever Without You” is the one you would like the most I think but “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” is a classic, too.
Firefall is an American country rock band from the 70's-80's. I had some of their albums. The band's biggest hit was "You Are The Woman". Other hits included "Just Remember I Love You", “Strange Way”, "Cinderella" "Headed For A Fall" & "Staying With It".
That is still one of my very favorite groups. I listen to them a lot still. David Gates was a great song writer. Everything I Own, Goodbye Girl, If, Diary... the list goes on. Glad you mentioned them. 🎶
Someone else has recommended Little River Band and I give a hearty amen to that suggestion. Also, Atlanta Rhythm Section would please you as well! Great bands!!
The 70s was an amazing decade for music, from the end of the Beatles to the Sex Pistols and everything in between.. There was rock, country, disco, punk, R and B, beginning of new wave and more. All this great music you could tune in any giving day on the radio. It was a wonderful time!
Perfect example of those mellow 70s ballads. "Just Remember I love You' is their other big hit. Just heard it on radio the other day... and always sing along. Takes me right back to driving my mom's '74 Nova to my high school job.
I get the feeling that Rob and Amber are relating to the love ❤ being expressed. I am glad we can hear music that has emotion and makes us think of that special love. This is classic soft, yacht rock. It is just sweet and kind and God knows we need that this today. PS..my husband sings this to me..after 33 years of marriage! I particularly like it🥰
@@charleslogwood9009 Bread had a dozen Top 40 songs between 1970 and 1976, mostly about longing. Some heart wrenching songs in there for sure. Well worth a listen.
Ok Amber, I'm going to keep suggesting David Gates & Bread.... Because you'll REALLY like their music! With songs like MAKE IT WITH YOU, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU, IF, EVERYTHING I OWN, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME, DIARY, AUBREY, LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, GOODBYE GIRL, and more. If you liked Firefall, you'll love DAVID GATES & BREAD! Thanks again for yet another GREAT reaction Jay and Amber! I look forward to watching your videos EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! (:
Not a fan of the term "Yacht Rock" I prefer - Light Rock which is what is was called in the day. Yacht rock seem like you have to own a yacht to listen to it. Just sayin...
@@craigreid7178 I would agree with you that this was called light rock back in the day. These young kids don’t know what they missed. We never called it yacht rock back then. The genre Yacht Rock is a term that was developed over the last few years. Sirius XM has a Yacht Rock channel and even Spotify or Pandora has Yacht Rock playlists
The genre was "Soft Rock" and the best way to describe this song is smooth and soothing. If you liked 'You Are The Woman' and haven't already, you should also give 'Sister Golden Hair' by America a try.
Love this song. I’ve managed to see Firefall twice when they were on the bill with other bands -so good! An album I have that I have listened to over the years.
Class of 85 here. When we were in middle school somehow they played for 7th grade classes. We were one of them that got to enjoy them live. We were on Facebook talking about things we did and i brought this up. 95% of the students completely forgot about it. They were thankful i brought it up so they could go tell their families about it. I talked to everyone one of the guys in the band. They were such wonderful people to spend a few hours with. Yes i still remember a lot of it in my old age 😁
Agree with some of the recommendations here. For me in this order, "So Long", "Strange Way", "Mexico", and " Goodbye, I Love You" Saw also a post suggesting for Seals and Crofts and concur with it 100%. Along the same lines. "Get Closer", "Diamond Girl", and "Summer Breeze" are some of the tunes that come to mind
If you have to classify this, it would definitely be under "Colorado Rock". The band was heavily influenced by Stephen Stills, a fantastic singer/songwriter in his own right. It was recorded at the studio at Caribou Ranch in Colorado.
These guys were one of my all time favorite bans. I bought everything they ever did. If you want to be uplifted, listen to their song The Love That Got Away.
Please react to the band America, new artist for you guys, and you’ll love their 70’s folk rock sound. “VENTURA HIGHWAY” or “SISTER GOLDEN HAIR” to begin with. 🙏🏼❤️
This was a Colorado group. I saw them in Boulder in 1976 with Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac and John Sebastian. Great concert. I love their song Cinderella.
It's a combination of a great song and great engineering on the mix! Notice how the flute sound sit in you right ear and the congas are playing right above your left ear. The great thing about music in the 70's is the stereo mix. You had a limited number of instruments so you can really hear the separation in the mix versus current artists who will use up to 128+ in the mix down!
Some real oldies of the sixties comes to mind such as: Hollies song On A Carousel, The Association songs, Along Comes Mary, Never My Love, Everything That Touches You the group the Grass Roots songs, Let's Live For Today, Midnight Confessions, Wait A Million Years, Temptation Eyes, and Feelings (song has a Groovy Vibe!!❤️.
I love this song!! It’s one of my favorites!! Ambrosia is Another great group from around the same era!! They have so many great songs! I think that you should hear Biggest Part of me by Ambrosia! David Pack was such a talented singer/writer!! I would love to see you do a reaction video for the song!!
I'm SO glad I decided to check this one out even though I didn't recognize the title... as soon as it started playing I was humming along!!! There are so many songs that I don't know the artist/title, you two are bringing back so many memories!! wonderfulness
Great reaction video. Firefall is such a great group. My brother got me " The Best Of Firefall" for my birthday back in 1986 on cassette tape. I am forever grateful. Firefall is one of my all time favorite groups. Listen to more Firefall. You won't be disappointed.
I love that y'all did Firefall! I just saw the lead singer and bass player live in an Eagles cover band. They keep playing with friends and touring. They played You Are The Woman on their set. Strange Way is their banger, which was a huge hit. Amber would love Cinderella because of the instruments. It was also a big hit. Just Remember I Love You was also a big hit. Headed For a Fall is another banger of theirs. So glad you are visiting them. A great band of the 70s. The lead singer/lead guitarist is still belting it out today!
Hi guys, the 70's is a very diverse decade. This isn't what they used to call "Hippy Music" . This was music mid to late 70's for the college age, 30 somethings, that really enjoyed a variety of music and were not so much into the disco vibe that was the popular radio music at the time. These groups were kind of an alternative to the disco dance music and was more known for easy listening and new musical instrument artistry. I would highly recommend these groups for your further enjoyment: England Dan and John Ford Coley "I Really Want to Be with You Tonight", "Wildfire" By Micheal Martin Murphy, and my favorite "In the Heart of the Night" by Poco. It was kind of the start of another kind of music genre that developed in the early 80's called "Yacht Rock". Which has kind of an ocean feel to it, but has that same lightness and sound.
"Cinderella" was a minor Top 40 hit but you have to do a reaction just based on the lyrical content. It touches so many lives, whether we realize it or not.
Amber, you're right. It was I Love The 70's. I remember it well. Pretty sure you can find it here on UA-cam. And the 70's we're indeed great. For more Firefall try Strange Way or Just Remember I love you. Those are really nice.✌
I bought tickets today to see these guys next month and check out the strange way to show me you love me by these guys that’s my favorite song of theirs, but I’m pretty stoked to see them live. I was in grade school when This was on the radio. I was a childhood in the 70s. It was the best time to be alive. My radio was always on. I had my banana seat bike with sissy bars, my skateboard baseball bat glove in case a game broke out in the neighborhood school. I had everything I needed.
A nice light breezy mood lifting song. I used to love singing along when this came on the radio when driving in the car. Especially in the summer on my way home from work.
I appreciate your perception of this song. This is probably my favorite song and I was born in 1970. This wasn't recorded until I was 7 in 1978, but that Flute part especially and this song in general really pushed my addiction to Music over the top. I was fortunate to meet the Flute player Dave Muse a couple of years ago at a Firefall concert and got a signed CD of his. It was amazing.
At the lowest point of my life - I sat one day and turned on the radio, and the song that came on was "Just Remember I Love You" from FireFall. I will never forget that moment because it felt like a message from above.
Can I just say how beautiful Amber's hair is. Just beautiful, girl!!! OMG, that song brings back such good memories!! You just want to say awwwwwwwwwww They call this "easy listening" music!
FIREFALL was definitely NOT a one hit wonder group; they’ve got a handful of good songs and you just hit entry level. There’s more here. Now do YEAR OF THE CAT by Al Stewart; you both will feel better after doing it.
Good old Colorado band from Boulder Colorado. At least as of a few years ago, they were still playing locally, minus the lead singer (Rick Roberts, of "Flying Burrito Brothers" and other bands) I'll never forget seeing Bob Seger at McNichols Arena ("Big Mac" for you Colorado peeps) and Firfall opened up for them. They were roundly booed. I'll never understand why. My favorite Firefall song is: "Cinderella". A harsh heartbreaker if ever there was one. You should check out the song "Colorado" by Rick Roberts
70s were full of music created by a diverse artists with many backgrounds/influences themselves( classically trained, Gospel, blues, jazz, folk) playing for a public that was open to whatever sounded good. Tijuana Brass, Stevie Wonder, Maynard Ferguson, John Denver, The Who, Yes, The Carpenters, Abba, Bee Gees, ect.
Yes Rich we can!! Been A long time since i heard this song !!I think you are right" That's The 70s music' show enjoyed watching. There is so much you still have not heard 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s'also early 90s music keep going and taping in to every decade .Thank ya'll
These guys were one of my favorites I've lived in Colorado my whole life and that's where these guys started. I've met Rick Roberts who wrote this song and is the lead singer and he's a great guy.
These songs are my Alzheimer's test. I haven't heard this in forever, literally forever, and I'm sitting here, singing along. Brain check good today.
I’m right there with you still sounds so good
For sure, the Oldtimers was kicking in until the music started

@@pigmeatmarkham898 From an layman’s POV, I think the Glen Campbell doc backs your claim.
Firefall is the most under appreciated group of the 1970s I could listen all day to their greatest hits album
England Dan and John Ford Coley are a soft rock duo from this era. "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" "Nights Are Forever Without You" "It's Sad to Belong" "Gone Too Far" "We'll Never Haev to Say Goodbye Again" and "Love is the Answer"
Yes! Love is the Answer is my favorite by them!
I loved them!
You missed Bread and anything from them is great but especially Everything I Own. The best one by England Dan and John Ford Coley is Love Is The Answer.... Then there's Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - Fallin' In Love.
@@tommtommkin David Gates wrote Everything I Own about his father. Makes me cry. Such a beautiful song!
@@Stacey7742 Me too makes me cry like crazy, I didn't know he wrote that song about his Dad.

You should play " !That's a Strange Way To Tell Me" another great cut by Firefall
I've seen them live and they are so good. Soft rock for sure but fun especially if you're with the right person.
@@ronaldasher3149 not a big hit though.
This was called "soft rock" back in the day. Some other similar groups were Ambrosia, Player, Poco and The Little River Band. All worth checking out. Happy New Year!
Yea, as he said, Player is a must. "Baby Come Back." Was a mega hit in the 70s. Major rotation on the radio. Think it was their only Hit, but so worth listening to.
And can't forget. "Brandy" by Looking Glass
@@johnkonertz8042 why did I read that as “Baby Got Back”? Lol
because we are "Reminiscing"
@@laritownsend2527 you’re probably right-my bff played that song at her wedding reception-it was their “first dance”
They should definitely check out Little River Band!!
That’s one reason why the 70s were so great, so many diverse styles of music in one decade
Yes and the 80’s too. Miss so much of this time
Yes, listen to a firefall album, then follow up with led zeppelin!
To me not even close im 63 The 70s music was the best for me. But the 80s were very good for me too I was born again By the Lord Jesus Christ in 1983 and my daughter was born in 1987 The Lord Jesus has given me so much peace .And he can you to if you put all your trust in Him and in Him alone Known that he has forgiven you as well.

But he took all our shame and nailed it to the cross .
Other hits included "Just Remember I Love You", “Strange Way” "Cinderella" , "Headed for a Fall" , and "Staying with It" .
Agree!
Also "Livin' Ain't Livin'".. their first single.
Strange Way is a really good tune. Totally different vibe than this one though
Agreed! All of these are amazing! "Strange Way" is one of my favorite songs of all time!
“Mexico”, “Run Run Away”, “Goodbye, I Love You”, “Love That Got Away”, “Someday Soon” all good songs down the rabbit hole.
I saw this group in concert. I wish they would have produced more because they were so easy on the ears. Another good group from that time was Pablo Cruise.
I saw them in an outdoor concert late 70's at Kings Dominion in VA it was at the end of their tour the lead singer barely had a voice left but many stayed at the end that they did many encores 30+ minutes because the crowd was so crazy for them they were so appreciative said never had an audience like ours (probably said to others I am sure)
I would also include Poco as well.
They sure had some beautiful tunes.
Always loved “Atlanta June” and “What You Gonna Do” and “A Place In The Sun” by Pablo Cruise
@@ronnix23 wow haven’t heard Poco in a long while. If I remember correctly, the lead singer passed away not too long ago. “Heart Of The Night”, “Spellbound” and of course “Crazy Love” all good songs that take me back to my early teen years.

We were post hippie.
Sort of the same vibe is an act called England Dan and John Ford Coley. “Nights Are Forever Without You” is the one you would like the most I think but “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” is a classic, too.
The lyrics of this song describe how EVERY man should feel about his lady.

What about “ Colorado”?
@@softride12 only the first two made the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The other songs barely charted.
Bread is another group that has soft rock that y’all would like
That is still one of my very favorite groups. I listen to them a lot still. David Gates was a great song writer. Everything I Own, Goodbye Girl, If, Diary... the list goes on. Glad you mentioned them. 🎶
I love David Gates, he truly is a gifted song writer, singer and performer!!! @@tendersoulsretreat5863
"Guitar Man"!
Someone else has recommended Little River Band and I give a hearty amen to that suggestion. Also, Atlanta Rhythm Section would please you as well! Great bands!!
I always loved this song! If you love this one try Orleans "You're Still the One."
That song is so great! I absolutely love that one!!!
This is the epitome of '70s soft rock. Great band, great song.
The 70s was an amazing decade for music, from the end of the Beatles to the Sex Pistols and everything in between.. There was rock, country, disco, punk, R and B, beginning of new wave and more. All this great music you could tune in any giving day on the radio. It was a wonderful time!
Yes. Being 20 something in the 70's was great!!!
We need more music like this today
Perfect example of those mellow 70s ballads. "Just Remember I love You' is their other big hit. Just heard it on radio the other day... and always sing along. Takes me right back to driving my mom's '74 Nova to my high school job.
Firefall has some great songs. Just remember I love you and strange way. You guys will love both of those.
When I was a young girl, I felt as if Firefall’s song “Strange Way” was being sung about me. What a headspace for a kid to have, I tell ya.
I LOVE that one! It is soooo good!
Good selection kids. Strange Way to me is their best. God Bless.
Amber, you should check out Seals & Crofts. Start with "Summer Breeze".
But, not yet..................
This song always makes me feel good. They have another really good one, “Just remember I Love you.”
Great band. Love this song. Remember that the 70’s are known for storytelling songs.
I get the feeling that Rob and Amber are relating to the love ❤ being expressed. I am glad we can hear music that has emotion and makes us think of that special love. This is classic soft, yacht rock. It is just sweet and kind and God knows we need that this today. PS..my husband sings this to me..after 33 years of marriage! I particularly like it🥰
Bands like Firefall with that soothing 70's folk-ish sound will lead you to some great pre-disco music. I'd recommend David Gates and the band Bread.
Yes! Bread needs to be considered for sure. Everything I own especially.
Good call Patrick!
@@charleslogwood9009 Bread had a dozen Top 40 songs between 1970 and 1976, mostly about longing. Some heart wrenching songs in there for sure. Well worth a listen.
Ok Amber, I'm going to keep suggesting David Gates & Bread.... Because you'll REALLY like their music! With songs like MAKE IT WITH YOU, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU, IF, EVERYTHING I OWN, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME, DIARY, AUBREY, LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, GOODBYE GIRL, and more. If you liked Firefall, you'll love DAVID GATES & BREAD!
Thanks again for yet another GREAT reaction Jay and Amber! I look forward to watching your videos EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! (:
Yes, Bread! And I heartily echo with their songs, 'It Don't Matter to Me' and 'Everything I Own'
"Just Remember I Love You" was their other major hit, just as good with a somber but encouraging tone to it. You will both love it.
She'll love the sax in it.
This is the first song my baby brother ever learned. I remember him singing this in the car when he was 5. He loved this song.
The sweetness of this song is that it just feels so sincere and honest, just pulls you in
I was 12 when this song came out in 1976 -it was one of my first favorite popular songs. Still sounds so good! Thanks for this reaction! ❤
This song definitely falls under the genre of "Yacht Rock" Essentially it's Easy Listening perfect for a nice summer day on the boat or at the grill.
I was thinking 'yacht rock' too :D
Definite Yacht Rock.

It's been a while since we've heard some Simon & Garfunkel. A great feel-good, day brightening song by them is 59th St. Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy).
Another great 70’s song in a similar vein is Moonlight Feels Right by Starbuck. It was a huge hit but they were pretty much a one hit wonder.
Agree with some of the recommendations here. For me in this order, "So Long", "Strange Way", "Mexico", and " Goodbye, I Love You"

good tunes from a good band that puts me right back in hs in the 70s.
Fire Fall has some great hits you need to try Poco Heart of the Night
Firewall was my first concert I saw at 16 I'm 61 now. What a concert!!

Check out Firefall’s Cinderella. My favorite.

I thank God for the day I discovered your channel. I hope and pray that your 2022 will knock your socks off in the best way.
That’s exactly how it happened. When I first saw her walk into the dry cleaners she had me before “hello”! We have been together 52years!
A smooth, sing along that stays with you ... now over 30 years! Love it!
Got to love their sweet sound- soft rock. Just Remember I Love You is also very special.
My favorite Firefall song it, Strange Way. 😎
I've always loved this song. Thanks for reacting to it!
Yes this is soft rock of the 70's. Just beautiful!
Definitely try Bread - "Make it With You", a 70's band you need to hear. Lots of other hits from them but this is one of their great love ballads.
Need to do a lot more of this band. "Strange Way" and "Cinderella" are some great songs to discover!
Just scratched the surface of Fierfall. More more more. Just remember I love you and Cinderella and Mexico. All great songs..
Classic '70s folk rock, very similar to Bread.
Thanks for reminding me how much I love that song! Time to find the sheet music for my guitar! :)
I love that y'all did Firefall! I just saw the lead singer and bass player live in an Eagles cover band. They keep playing with friends and touring. They played You Are The Woman on their set. Strange Way is their banger, which was a huge hit. Amber would love Cinderella because of the instruments. It was also a big hit. Just Remember I Love You was also a big hit. Headed For a Fall is another banger of theirs. So glad you are visiting them. A great band of the 70s. The lead singer/lead guitarist is still belting it out today!
Hi guys, the 70's is a very diverse decade. This isn't what they used to call "Hippy Music" . This was music mid to late 70's for the college age, 30 somethings, that really enjoyed a variety of music and were not so much into the disco vibe that was the popular radio music at the time. These groups were kind of an alternative to the disco dance music and was more known for easy listening and new musical instrument artistry. I would highly recommend these groups for your further enjoyment: England Dan and John Ford Coley "I Really Want to Be with You Tonight", "Wildfire" By Micheal Martin Murphy, and my favorite "In the Heart of the Night" by Poco.
It was kind of the start of another kind of music genre that developed in the early 80's called "Yacht Rock". Which has kind of an ocean feel to it, but has that same lightness and sound.
"Cinderella" was a minor Top 40 hit but you have to do a reaction just based on the lyrical content. It touches so many lives, whether we realize it or not.
Great suggestion. For me, the song was semi-autobiographial, but still one of my favorites.
Amber, you're right. It was I Love The 70's. I remember it well. Pretty sure you can find it here on UA-cam. And the 70's we're indeed great. For more Firefall try Strange Way or Just Remember I love you. Those are really nice.✌
I bought tickets today to see these guys next month and check out the strange way to show me you love me by these guys that’s my favorite song of theirs, but I’m pretty stoked to see them live. I was in grade school when This was on the radio. I was a childhood in the 70s. It was the best time to be alive. My radio was always on. I had my banana seat bike with sissy bars, my skateboard baseball bat glove in case a game broke out in the neighborhood school. I had everything I needed.
A nice light breezy mood lifting song. I used to love singing along when this came on the radio when driving in the car. Especially in the summer on my way home from work.
Such a beautiful, sweet song.
Like a butterfly fluttering along. A tropical breeze that blows lightheaded. The 70's had great soft rock. ✌️
Just Remember I Love You is another Firefall song. Very similar to this one but still good.
I appreciate your perception of this song. This is probably my favorite song and I was born in 1970. This wasn't recorded until I was 7 in 1978, but that Flute part especially and this song in general really pushed my addiction to Music over the top.
I was fortunate to meet the Flute player Dave Muse a couple of years ago at a Firefall concert and got a signed CD of his. It was amazing.
Love this group! Another good song is "Headed for Fall". You'll need to listen to their album. ❤
At the lowest point of my life - I sat one day and turned on the radio, and the song that came on was "Just Remember I Love You" from FireFall. I will never forget that moment because it felt like a message from above.
Can I just say how beautiful Amber's hair is. Just beautiful, girl!!! OMG, that song brings back such good memories!! You just want to say awwwwwwwwwww They call this "easy listening" music!
FIREFALL was definitely NOT a one hit wonder group; they’ve got a handful of good songs and you just hit entry level. There’s more here.
Now do YEAR OF THE CAT by Al Stewart; you both will feel better after doing it.
"Just remember I love you" Their biggest hit.......70's Colorado
Firefall, Poco, Bread, Steven Bishop, Paul Davis, (I can't even think of them all are so great with their romantic love songs!
Good old Colorado band from Boulder Colorado.
At least as of a few years ago, they were still playing locally, minus the lead singer (Rick Roberts, of "Flying Burrito Brothers" and other bands) I'll never forget seeing Bob Seger at McNichols Arena ("Big Mac" for you Colorado peeps) and Firfall opened up for them.
They were roundly booed. I'll never understand why.
My favorite Firefall song is: "Cinderella". A harsh heartbreaker if ever there was one.
You should check out the song "Colorado" by Rick Roberts
I love that era of soft rock, Firefall, Ambrosia, Little River Bamd, etc... Singing music.
70s were full of music created by a diverse artists with many backgrounds/influences themselves( classically trained, Gospel, blues, jazz, folk) playing for a public that was open to whatever sounded good.
Tijuana Brass, Stevie Wonder, Maynard Ferguson, John Denver, The Who, Yes, The Carpenters, Abba, Bee Gees, ect.
Aw Man! My Dad had this on cassette tape and played it constantly in the car.
Yes Rich we can!! Been A long time since i heard this song !!I think you are right" That's The 70s music' show enjoyed watching. There is so much you still have not heard 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s'also early 90s music keep going and taping in to every decade .Thank ya'll
I luv, luv,luv this song! So many great memories and feels!
1976, I was 12 & can remember this on the radio. So romantic.
Firefall does some great harmonizing. Check out "Cinderella". Also little river band, especially "long way there"
Another great song is by a group called The Baby's and the name is When I See You Smile. Love it and I think you will too
That bassist joined Heart in the 80's for all those hits.
Yes the 70’s Another good song is Just Remember I Love You. More soft 70’s Please Come to Boston by Dave Loggins and Diary by Bread
These guys were one of my favorites I've lived in Colorado my whole life and that's where these guys started. I've met Rick Roberts who wrote this song and is the lead singer and he's a great guy.
Yes. Great song 1 of my favorite
Reminds me of someone…..
Thanks for the Memories
Firefall from Boulder, Colorado Love them! ❤️💓
