Gloria’s live “Coming Out Of The Dark” is fantastic. She had been in an awful bus wreck. They weren’t sure if she would walk again. After surgeries, physical rehab she walked out on stage looking beautiful and sang that song. I still get chills!!
@@jerrymartin3965Actually Emilio Estefan her husband got the idea for the song when he was leaving the hospital where Gloria remained paralysed and the sun came out lighting up an otherwise overcast day and the title “Coming out of the dark” came into his mind and while she was recovering Emilio took the idea to Gloria who then wrote the song with Jon Secada in 15 minutes inspired by her perspective of triumphing over adversity.
Gloria Estefan is one of the best female singers of the latter half of the 20th Century. She is listed as being 5' 2" tall, which means she's probably at best 5 '1" on a good day. She was born in Havana, Cuba.
Her 'Coming out of the Dark' was written for her return to performing following a major accident with her tour bus. She was pretty badly injured and the song was a celebration.
Gloria Estefan is one of the best female singers ever. Beautiful voice . Beautiful music. Beautiful and down to earth person. This song is one of my favorite songs of her. Just beautiful.
Miami Sound Machine came on with a force in the mid-80's and gave us that Latin/Cuban island sound. We fell in love with her. As a solo artist, she got even bigger with hit after hit like this one. Just a genuinely cool woman. While she has never gotten the icon credit like Madonna, Mariah and some others, she was definitely someone that deserves that label.
Yes, finally someone is reacting to Gloria's ballads!! "Anything for You" is a must as well!!! "Here We Are"; "Words Get in the Way"; "Can't Stay Away From You" are other greats as well! She has so many :)
I'd forgotten about this song...shame on me. Beautiful voice, she broke down a lot of stereotypes with class, style and talent! She's come through alot...GOD BLESS HER!
Gloria has so many huge hits. This isn't even one of her best. You need to go down the Gloria rabbit hole of her greatest hits. She was a huge icon in the 80s and 90s.
That's a good one. I'm more familiarized with the Spanish version they did with multiple latin stars (even Plácido Domingo and a then very young Ricky Martin). This was the version I heard all the time on the radio back then. It's called "Puedes Llegar".
So, Jay made a comment about not realizing she’s Latina. Not only is she from Cuba, but she’s worked with several Latinas to translate their songs to English. She’s been an amazing mentor. (She May have worked with men too, just not aware.
I Can’t Stay Away From You Words Get In The Way Don’t Wanna Lose You Cuts Both Ways Anything For You Uh-Oh (Falling In Love) Bad Boys Keep in mind, these are mostly ballads, but they are GREAT ballads.
I grew up during this time, and I’m from Miami to Gloria Estefan is iconic for us. I love every single song she and the Miami sound machine has done but this song right here is so heart wrenching oh my God! Every time I hear the song till this day and I’m now 53 regard I get tears in my eyes
I can see you smiling, Amber, as though you know something we do not. Gloria, as you know, is multi-talented singer, dancer, writer but did you know she is also tri-lingual and fluent in Spanish, English and French and worked as a translator before becoming a successful vocal artist. She is a brilliant and determined woman who serves as a model for so many more.
Grammy award winner, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, named one of the all time top 100 greatest artist and her record sales exceed 100 million worldwide making her one of the best selling female singers of all time…..yes, that would be Gloria Estefan! Married to Emilio Estefan for 45 years!! It is Emilio who played drums in their band The Miami Sound Machine and was the producer and founding member.
I'm a child of the 60s AND a fan of Gloria Estefan, but until I watched this video, I hadn't felt a vibe that came to me. I have heard this song hundreds of times, but have never gotten a Karen Carpenter vibe until now. Maybe looking at it as if hearing it for the first time, I don't know, but they both have a unique ability to express what they want their listeners to feel while retaining their personal uniqueness. Thanks 😃
the greatest singer there is i am her biggest fan seen her 4 times in concert have over 3000 pictures of her have all her music i can find. I have seen her home coming concert at least 250 times kind of know it by heart don't know Spanish but doesn't matter all sounds good to me. been a fan since 85 when i was 15.
We still can't get them to play Phyllis Hyman, (Living All Alone), Betty Wright, (No Pain No Gain), Sylvia (Pillow Talk), Jennifer Holiday (And I'm Telling You), Lisa Fisher (How Do I Ease the Pain), Angela Winbush (Angel), Evelyn Champaign King (Shame), Stephanie Mills (I Feel Good All Over), Angela Bofill (I Try)
She has so many great hits. She has an amazing voice. I liked her songs like this one more than the upbeat songs. Always Tomorrow is another great song that touches me
this song came out when I was with my ex-girl friend and we would dance to this song and many other Gloria Estefan songs and we would escape this world and think of being in paradise
Gloria Estefan's live performance of "Coming Out Of The Dark" at the American Music Awards in 1991 is iconic. They do show a bit of video before she performs depicting what happened in the horrible bus accident a year before. I think as you both are athletes, you can understand the work she put in to not just walking again but going out on that stage for the first time and singing again.
Another latin singer you should react to is Jon Secada. "Just Another Day" was a big hit off his self-titled debut album. The album was released in 1992 and sold 7 million copies.
Gloria's husband Emilio is also in the Miami Sound Machine. They are both writers and have had a fantistic career together with his band. Congrats to their long marriage and calibration, they make great music together.. Thanks for reacting to their sound. A faithful following fan. ❤🎶👋

years ago i made the connection between gloria and karen carpenter. they each sing smoothly almost like a violin with pure clear voices. i know i’ve had other adjectives, just can’t remember at the moment
Jay & Amber, Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine R Cuban 🇨🇺 Americans 🇺🇸 that R still playing their great 👍 🎶 . U guys have to react to Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine's 1️⃣,2️⃣,3️⃣; Anything For You; Falling In Love 😍(Uh-Oh); I See 👁️ Your Smile 😀 ; Coming Out Of The Dark; Don't Wanna Lose You; Dr 👩⚕️ Beat; Get On Your Feet 🦶 ; Bad Boy 👦 ; and many more. U guys will not be disappointed with their music 🎶. U guys have to continue to react to their songs 🎶 .
Yes, Gloria Estefan is very accomplished! Her latest accolade is her June 2023 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ❤ Love all her work and her incredible story!! Thanks for the reaction!!
For next Friday try K.D. Lang, Crying over you, Roy Orbison cover she performed as a tribute at Grammys. She also did duet with Roy a few years earlier. Both are excellent.
You have to mention "The Miami Sound Machine" when speaking of Gloria Estefan. They gave her that unique Cuban American sound. Check out her Protégé, Jon Secada, and his "Just Another Day". You'll love it.
@helindove2237 Most of his newer music is only available in Latin speaking countries. He produces Broadway plays now and has one of the largest private charities in the country. He was teaching music at his Alma mater, The University of Miami. I don't know if he still is.
Gloria has always been one of the finest talents in pop music. Class, class, class. Always delivers superb entertainment. She and her husband are one of the great teams in the business; thanks for featuring this!
To really get the Latin flavour of Gloria Estefan I would suggest listening to "Oye Mi Canto" Back in the day I had no idea what the lyrics meant, but I really dug the sound of it.
It’s absolutely criminal that y’all haven’t reacted to more songs from Gloria Estefan. She is an icon, sadly, her career was derailed due to a severe bus crash.
I saw this woman & her fantastic band 3 times : '88-----'92 & '96, & each time I fell madly in love with her ! She's petite, & a modest person, but OMG, what charisma ! And, what a voice. Gloria, Forever ! -----------------------mJL< 77 y/o
She can make you dance, she can make you cry, she can make you fall in love. She's the real deal. I have 30 Gloria Estefan songs in my music library. More on CD's. For a great, upbeat Latin number, I recommend "Ay Ay I" from the album "Cuts Both Ways."
Gloria and her family fled Cuba and landed in Miami when she was a child. Her connection and compassion for the Cuban community is strong. Her huge hit “Don’t want to lose you know” was also released in Spanish. Can’t go wrong with any of her tunes!! ❤
Just line up all of her albums! Hits all the time! Yes, “Coming Out of the Dark” is a must after the tour bus accident when her back was broken. And much respect to Emilio Estefan, Jr. a superb songwriter and producer.
Some more for Female Friday: Tori Amos "Famous blue raincoat", Randy Crawford "One day I'll fly away", Sinead O'Connor "Troy", Nina Simone "Sinnerman", Marlene Dietrich "Where have all the flowers gone", Audrey Hepburn "Moon River", Joan Armatrading "Drop the pilot", Cher "Gypsies, tramps and thieves", Kate Bush "Among angels", Dionne Warwick "Do you know the way to San Jose", Madonna "Don't cry for me Argentina", Frida "I know there's something going on" ...
Also Ricky Martin's song from 1999 called "Livin' La Vida Loca" . The English title is "Livin' The Crazy Life". This was a monster song at the time that just made you get up and DANCE!! The beat was crazy relentless! You two will love it.
As much as I enjoy Gloria Estefan's fast pace, pop, dance music. My favorite are her slower, love songs. In her love songs, she really showcases her vocal range, and brings it right to the table.
I love Gloria Estefan slow jams. Also “Don’t Wanna Lose You”, “Always Tomorrow” and “Words Get in the Way”. She also has great holiday music u might wanna check out🩷🩷🩷
I “LOVE” me some Gloria!!!🥰❤ She was hit with the worst of adversities right when she was at the top of her game in the pop music scene, but like most women of strength and heart 💪she endured in the end!! I have much respect for her ✌️🫶
Gloria Estefan's husband, Emilio Estefan, was also a member of the Miami Sound Machine. They mentored and produced hit songs by one of the Miami Sound Machine backup singers, Jon Secada. His recordings, Mental Picture and Angel, are two examples of his extraordinary vocal talent.
Gloria had some of the best ballads of the 80's. So moving. Words Get in the Way and Don't Wanna Lose You Now are incredible.
My favorites!!!!! Yes
Anything For You as well
@@wrldchamps04 Yes, Anything For You is my fave. Beautiful lyrics, superb voice.
AGREE, don’t get the credit they deserve
Don't forget Can't Stay Away from You
Gloria’s live “Coming Out Of The Dark” is fantastic. She had been in an awful bus wreck. They weren’t sure if she would walk again. After surgeries, physical rehab she walked out on stage looking beautiful and sang that song. I still get chills!!
Jon Secada wrote that song for her.
I just got chills…
Me too. Made me cry buckets. We all thought this light was going to go out. To see her come back was so emotional for her fans.
@@wandacable3739Me too!

Extremely talented woman. In the 80's and 90's she was filling the airwaves with hit after hit. A true Queen of pop.
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "Coming Out Of The Dark" and "Don't Wanna Lose You" !!!!
Yes! They need the story behind Out of the Dark!
Yes! Very emotional song, especially when you know the back story!
Yeah, I think these are two of her best ballads.
Gloria Estefan is one of the best female singers of the latter half of the 20th Century. She is listed as being 5' 2" tall, which means she's probably at best 5 '1" on a good day. She was born in Havana, Cuba.

One of the greatest Latin Artists of all time. Another one who makes me proud to be Latino/Hispanic
They need to do Ricky Martin soon. Jay would like his high energy.
Don't forget Jon Secada she intro him.
Loved his voice! Too Late Too Soon!!🙂
Would love for them to do more Latin music!
Gloria Estefan is one of the best female singers ever. Beautiful voice . Beautiful music. Beautiful and down to earth person. This song is one of my favorite songs of her. Just beautiful.

Just a genuinely cool woman. While she has never gotten the icon credit like Madonna, Mariah and some others, she was definitely someone that deserves that label.
I always put Gloria way ahead of all those you mentioned... not close in my book.
@@flinx649 You beat me to it.
She was part of VH1 Divas with Celine, Shania and Mariah. Sang group duets with Carole King and Aretha Franklin. In a very select group
Yes, finally someone is reacting to Gloria's ballads!! "Anything for You" is a must as well!!! "Here We Are"; "Words Get in the Way"; "Can't Stay Away From You" are other greats as well! She has so many :)
Yesssss 👍🏿
I'd forgotten about this song...shame on me. Beautiful voice, she broke down a lot of stereotypes with class, style and talent! She's come through alot...GOD BLESS HER!
Gloria has so many huge hits. This isn't even one of her best. You need to go down the Gloria rabbit hole of her greatest hits. She was a huge icon in the 80s and 90s.
"I See Your Smile" is one of her most underrated gems that really showcases her voice.....
Absolutely. It's one of her best songs ever and the video with that Corvette is gorgeous.
Y’all would love her 1985 song with the Miami Sound Machine, “Bad Boy”. 😎
my favorite MSM tune!
Loved that song in Three Men and a Baby!
Wait until you experience her stunning vocals on her song "Reach". It was the official theme song of the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta
I forgot about that one! It is amazing!
That's a good one. I'm more familiarized with the Spanish version they did with multiple latin stars (even Plácido Domingo and a then very young Ricky Martin). This was the version I heard all the time on the radio back then. It's called "Puedes Llegar".

I Can’t Stay Away From You
Words Get In The Way
Don’t Wanna Lose You
Cuts Both Ways
Anything For You
Uh-Oh (Falling In Love)
Bad Boys
Keep in mind, these are mostly ballads, but they are GREAT ballads.
I grew up during this time, and I’m from Miami to Gloria Estefan is iconic for us. I love every single song she and the Miami sound machine has done but this song right here is so heart wrenching oh my God! Every time I hear the song till this day and I’m now 53 regard I get tears in my eyes
Don’t won’t to lose you and Words get in the way are slow jam masterpieces. You gets you in your feels on both songs
Must Listen: “Don’t Wanna Lose You”
Here We Are is one of my favorites of hers. A STUNNING voice! Great vocal control. 👌🏼👌🏼💕
Also, "Always tomorrow" just beautiful.
I always find GE’s voice reminds me so much of the clarity of Karen Carpenter, think it’s the tone and clarity
I can see you smiling, Amber, as though you know something we do not. Gloria, as you know, is multi-talented singer, dancer, writer but did you know she is also tri-lingual and fluent in Spanish, English and French and worked as a translator before becoming a successful vocal artist. She is a brilliant and determined woman who serves as a model for so many more.
Are you sure Amber wasn't just looking at one of her children during the broadcast? They've ignored Gloria since.
Grammy award winner, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, named one of the all time top 100 greatest artist and her record sales exceed 100 million worldwide making her one of the best selling female singers of all time…..yes, that would be Gloria Estefan!

She had hit after hit after hit, it was ridiculous she isn't more recognized/remembered. She and Phil Collins WERE 80s/early 90s radio.
Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine are such a talented group of artists. Love, love, love...
The most beautiful love song ❤ Gloria ...amazing...❤
Gloria will always have a spot in my heart. After my fiancé passed away I listened to a lot of her music. It hurt but it helped me too.
We still can't get them to play Phyllis Hyman, (Living All Alone), Betty Wright, (No Pain No Gain), Sylvia (Pillow Talk), Jennifer Holiday (And I'm Telling You), Lisa Fisher (How Do I Ease the Pain), Angela Winbush (Angel), Evelyn Champaign King (Shame), Stephanie Mills (I Feel Good All Over), Angela Bofill (I Try)
Gloria gives you just enough vocal gymnastics to be impressed, but the real beauty is in words and melody.
I was OBSESSED with this song when I was 15. I played it all the time.
"I don't Want to Lose You Now" is probably her greatest ballad song ever.
Wow, never noticed before she has Karen Carpenter timbre....lovely vocalist🎉
She has so many great hits. She has an amazing voice. I liked her songs like this one more than the upbeat songs. Always Tomorrow is another great song that touches me
I think the 80s was the best decade for pop ballads.
Without a doubt one of the best voices ever!!
this song came out when I was with my ex-girl friend and we would dance to this song and many other Gloria Estefan songs and we would escape this world and think of being in paradise

I fell in love with her voice, when Miami Sound Machine dropped "Doctor Beat". Total uptempo FIRE BANGER.
My favorite by Gloria is Don't Want to Lose You.
Another latin singer you should react to is Jon Secada. "Just Another Day" was a big hit off his self-titled debut album. The album was released in 1992 and sold 7 million copies.
THIS WAS THE LAST 45 I EVER BOUGHT, AS THEY WENT OUT IN '89. GREAT---------CLASSIC, GLORIA ESTEFAN AT HER VERY BEST. ---------------------MJL, 77 Y/O
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was about the last 8 track released. I definitely fell you here.
Gloria's husband Emilio is also in the Miami Sound Machine. They are both writers and have had a fantistic career together with his band. Congrats to their long marriage and calibration, they make great music together.. Thanks for reacting to their sound. A faithful following fan. ❤🎶👋

I completely forgot about this song! Took hearing the first notes… then I was INSTANTLY transported back ❤
years ago i made the connection between gloria and karen carpenter. they each sing smoothly almost like a violin with pure clear voices. i know i’ve had other adjectives, just can’t remember at the moment

Two more of her🔥ballads are Anything For You, Can't Stay Away From You and Word Get In The Way
Reach by Gloria Estefan it was the official song of the 1996 Olympics.
Once again. This pure talent that American Idol or the Voice could ever manufacture.
Yes, Gloria Estefan is very accomplished! Her latest accolade is her June 2023 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ❤ Love all her work and her incredible story!! Thanks for the reaction!!
Jon Secada is another singer with amazing vocals!
For next Friday try K.D. Lang, Crying over you, Roy Orbison cover she performed as a tribute at Grammys. She also did duet with Roy a few years earlier. Both are excellent.
That's a really good proposal . Kd lang is huge !!!
Constant craving/ Calling all angels , from the movie Pay it forward.
Anything For You is my favorite song by her
“When i see you Smile” also a great song besides the others listed. She’s got a lot of hits.
You can't go wrong with Gloria. She always delivers the goods. Some of our local musicians in S. Florida worked with her back in the day.
You have to mention "The Miami Sound Machine" when speaking of Gloria Estefan. They gave her that unique Cuban American sound. Check out her Protégé, Jon Secada, and his "Just Another Day". You'll love it.
Just Another Day was a hit in 1992! It would be great to hear it again. Jon Secada has a great voice!
@@helindove2237 loved the whole album
@helindove2237 Most of his newer music is only available in Latin speaking countries. He produces Broadway plays now and has one of the largest private charities in the country. He was teaching music at his Alma mater, The University of Miami. I don't know if he still is.
Gloria is such a fighter! The PT she had to recover from the wreck was intense! So much respect and love for this lady!❤❤
Gloria has always been one of the finest talents in pop music. Class, class, class. Always delivers superb entertainment. She and her husband are one of the great teams in the business; thanks for featuring this!
I agree with alot of the comments & would love to see your reaction to "Coming Out of the Dark" giving what she went thru!
Emilio's, Gloria's husband, and his band Miami Sound Machine were top notch and Gloria was the icing on the cake.
To really get the Latin flavour of Gloria Estefan I would suggest listening to "Oye Mi Canto" Back in the day I had no idea what the lyrics meant, but I really dug the sound of it.
Gloria had a catalog of hits. She is a wonderful singer. Entertainer.
It’s absolutely criminal that y’all haven’t reacted to more songs from Gloria Estefan. She is an icon, sadly, her career was derailed due to a severe bus crash.
I totally agree and some artists they review again and again and one song of there's was more than enough.
Can’t Stay Away From You is another great one (late 80s) one from her
I saw this woman & her fantastic band 3 times : '88-----'92 & '96, & each time I fell madly in love with her ! She's petite, & a modest person, but OMG, what charisma ! And, what a voice. Gloria, Forever ! -----------------------mJL< 77 y/o
She can make you dance, she can make you cry, she can make you fall in love. She's the real deal. I have 30 Gloria Estefan songs in my music library. More on CD's. For a great, upbeat Latin number, I recommend "Ay Ay I" from the album "Cuts Both Ways."
More Gloria Estefan music you should listen to is: Words Get In The Way, Can't Stay Away From You, 1, 2 3, Anything For You, Get On Your Feet,
“Don’t wanna lose you” is beautiful too
"Oye Mi Canto" is a must listen You'll love it and it's upbeat!
That gave me goosebumps. I love that I don’t need subtitles to understand beautiful ballad sings like Gloria and Anita Baker.
Gloria and her family fled Cuba and landed in Miami when she was a child. Her connection and compassion for the Cuban community is strong. Her huge hit “Don’t want to lose you know” was also released in Spanish. Can’t go wrong with any of her tunes!! ❤
She had a hit broadway show about her life! Amazing Cuban American artist!
"I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW"
is probably Gloria
Estefan's biggest
soft ballad hit!
check it out!
thanks JORDAN/AMBER
jay!❤❤❤
Just line up all of her albums! Hits all the time! Yes, “Coming Out of the Dark” is a must after the tour bus accident when her back was broken. And much respect to Emilio Estefan, Jr. a superb songwriter and producer.

Anything for you , That's one of my favorites. It peaked # 1 on the billboard chart for 2 weeks in a row in 1988.
Absolutely love her. My favorite is the words get in the way❤️❤️
Also Ricky Martin's song from 1999 called "Livin' La Vida Loca" . The English title is "Livin' The Crazy Life". This was a monster song at the time that just made you get up and DANCE!! The beat was crazy relentless! You two will love it.
COMING OUT OF THE DARK-GLORIA ESTEFAN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Mi Tierra" is one of her best songs and i think you two would really enjoy it!
Hi guys through the 80's she was on first so many good songs you could fill two weeks of female Fridays that's 14 Fridays worth of great songs.
Don't Want To Lose You is a stunning, rip- your- heart-out ballad
Gloria was like the queen of the ballads in the late 80's and early 90s. Just the best.
The First Latina Queen of Pop ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I love Gloria!! She’s amazing!! ❤
This is one of her best songs. Love you, Gloria. Greetings from Spain.
As much as I enjoy Gloria Estefan's fast pace, pop, dance music. My favorite are her slower, love songs. In her love songs, she really showcases her vocal range, and brings it right to the table.
I love Gloria Estefan slow jams. Also “Don’t Wanna Lose You”, “Always Tomorrow” and “Words Get in the Way”. She also has great holiday music u might wanna check out🩷🩷🩷
It can't be overstated just how popular her music was in the 80's...
I “LOVE” me some Gloria!!!🥰❤ She was hit with the worst of adversities right when she was at the top of her game in the pop music scene, but like most women of strength and heart 💪she endured in the end!! I have much respect for her ✌️🫶
Gloria is very very special and her songs represent an amazing love and I love this woman for it..timeless
Just realized after all these years the similarities between her's and Karen Carpenter's voice, especially in the lower registers.
Coming Out Of The Dark is such a powerful song. You could feel it when she returned from the horrible bus accident that almost left her paralyzed.
Gloria Estefan's husband, Emilio Estefan, was also a member of the Miami Sound Machine. They mentored and produced hit songs by one of the Miami Sound Machine backup singers, Jon Secada. His recordings, Mental Picture and Angel, are two examples of his extraordinary vocal talent.
Jon Secada--Just Another Day......Gloria Estefan's protege and songwriter.
