Great southern rock band from the 70's. They had some great songs such as "Imaginary Lover", "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", "So Into You", "Large Time" (tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd), "Do It Or Die" & "Spooky".
Why dont we have Artist that can sing like this anymore. If I could go back in time for just a little while I would. Just to hear all the good music from back in the day. Wow.
Growing up this song was the coolest, driving with the windows down DAM! memories...you also have to try - Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter #23 same downbeat they both came out in 1977
I come here for the music...I stay for the love. These songs that allow us to see the love between you two is really beautiful. Please remember to show your love and appreciation for each other often.
Hey guys, love this reaction. Had my first date with my future wife (44 yrs together, 40 years married) on New Year’s Eve, 1977/78 at an Atlanta Rhythm Section concert. Still going strong, y’all!,
I saw them in Palm Beach for their New Years Eve Champagne Jam, with The Guess Who opening. That was great fun~ They also played my Grad Night at Disney World.
This was a jamming song. Other great songs from them " spooky"" imaginary lover" I'm not going to let it bother me tonight" also Check out the group " Exile" kiss you all over.
Such an underrated group with all their epic tracks. I've seen them live 6 of 7 times since 1972. Some early bangers are Champaign Jam, I'm not Gonna Let It Bother me Tonight, Spooky and Imaginary Lover...
As a 70's child I can say we loved, laughed, cried, fought deeply about everything we did, with all we had and it came out in the music of the day.. Love it what we chased everyday...
Loved this and danced with the man who would be my husband! I was 14 and he was 20! NO LOL MINDS IN GUTTER! BUT THIS FELT GOOD AND STILL DOES ONLY I DANCE ALONE AS HE WENT ON HOME AND IS WAITING !! THANKS GUYS!! I AM 65!!
Once again, there's nothing like the 70s. I've always wondered who was the group but at the sametime I heard this song alot. Definitely rock/soul combination 👍🏾✊🏾
Yes, definitely. I was a kid when this came out. I heard this song on Rock radio. Strangely, lived around the corner from a Black radio station. I asked a DJ if they had this song. He initially said no, but they actually did. The label sent it in a plain white sleeve and white label. I told him to check it out and play it. He did, and locally it became very popular on Black radio. The same would happen with Pablo Cruise "Whatcha Gonna Do?" Great music knows no boundaries!!
I'm from Macon, GA, and I saw them many, many times. The lead singer, Ronnie Hammond, married one of my friends. "Imaginary Lover" {never lets you down} is one of their greatest.
That was beautiful guys. I have heard that song million times on the radio when I was younger. But listening to it now, slowing it down a little and paying attention to the lyrics has really helped me to appreciate this song even more. Wow, that took me to another world for a minute. :)
Mel I swear to God we are music twins!!. I love how you catch and appreciate the "little" things. Much Love to the both of you... My favorite reactors hands down!
A Great Southern Rock/R & B band who are the most underrated group in music history. Definitely one of my favorite bands. This was a treat watching you guys react to this song.
1972 was a very great year. ✌🤘💞💞 So into you was the song the boys were singing to the girls in the smoke section of the school yard. Yes we were allowed to smoke at school.
ARS has some great songs. Their cover of "Spooky" (Classics IV) is fantastic. "Imaginary Lover" and "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" are also fire.
@@sparky6086 Good to know. But I think if it's a much better version even though I like the original as well. The band I was in during the 80s did a cover of the ARS version. It was lots of fun!
This song was THE slow jam at high school dances in the mid-late 70s!...ARS has a string of bangers and slow jams: "Stormy (as Classics IV)" "Spooky (as Classics IV and ARS)" "Imaginary Lover" "Champagne Jam" "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" "Do It Or Die" "Alien"
Being born, raised and still living in Georgia, we’re proud of our Georgia boys. Love me some ARS. Ronnie Hammond’s voice was SO awesome. R. I. P. Ronnie.
YES YES YES. I have been requesting this song for a year now with the reactors I follow and finally its gets played. Such a great vibe. My all time favorite. Thank you guys so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it too. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Aw yes! This is me and my guys song from when we met 26 years ago! It was immediate! Played it over and over- love the song AND the lyrics fit us PERFECTLY!!! And it was on baby!! Another great by them is “Imaginary Lover!”
Yes yes yes! Great one from the 70’s!!! ❤️ Imaginary Lover next 😊 By the way, THIS is how you get a girl; not with what the music industry puts out today.
Shawn, it's so sweet that you find this song is one you would sing to Mel. You will find a lot of the older music speaks volumes as if you wrote it yourself. I know a lot of songs have lyrics that I relate to, would say to someone, etc.... to the point I have sent songs to people to say what I want to say quite a few times in my life. "Music says things that words cannot express"
This song brings back so many memories growing up in the 70s I love Atlanta Rythm Section, still listening today. Love the music yall react to., so glad I found you guys🎧🎸🙂
Ronnie Hammond was a great singer. Macon, Georgia has produced some great musicians. This song is 🔥!! Love that such songs are part of the soundtrack of my life.
This song always gives me goose bumps,it was written by Robert Nix(the drummer for ARS)about Leslie Hawkins.She was one of the Honkettes,a trio of women who sang for Lynyrd Skynyrd.Nix saw her for the first time just as the song describes and instantly fell in love with Hawkins,who was stunningly beautiful and remains so till this day,well into her 70's.
One of my favorite concerts was ARS with Wet Willie. Saw them together in 1979. They both put on a helluva show. ARS stretched their songs out live, making for some killer jams. "Neon Nights" and "Another Man's Woman" are a couple of my favorites.
You guys are cool as HECK for reacting to this. I follow a few reaction accounts and you guys always seem to listen to your viewers and not follow what other reactors are reacting to. Thanks so much for this! You should definitely do Spooky by Atlanta Rhythm Section 🥰
Yes, it was a good time. Guys weren't afraid to say how much they loved their woman.
My Father in Law was the Drummer. RIP Robert
He brought a lot of people happiness!! That band was great!!
I didn't know Nix had passed away. RIP. He was a master of his art.
@@hog7203 Yes Robert passed in a Hospital in Memphis, His Daughter and I saw him a few weeks before he passed
That's great! So awesome bro.
As a drummer , perhaps top 3 drummers ever.. one of the hardest to copy...
A little wine, weed, and this music..I love the 70s!
"They just don't make 'em like this anymore." As a 63-year-old guy, you're living in my world. God bless.
This was a #1 on both R&B and Pop charts. Pretty sweet.
Great southern rock band from the 70's. They had some great songs such as "Imaginary Lover", "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", "So Into You", "Large Time" (tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd), "Do It Or Die" & "Spooky".
And Doraville, Homesick, and Champagne Jam.
Great group along with Ambrosia, Firefall, Player, Orleans, Little River Band and so on
Why dont we have Artist that can sing like this anymore. If I could go back in time for just a little while I would. Just to hear all the good music from back in the day. Wow.
I love these sexy, hypnotic songs. "Imaginary Lover" is another one you guys might like.
They will definitely love it!👍
Shawn, you are SO RIGHT, they just can't make music like this anymore. what a shame !
Growing up this song was the coolest, driving with the windows down DAM! memories...you also have to try - Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter #23 same downbeat they both came out in 1977
i agree
Yes!
Another one from 77 in this style was from The Climax Blues Band called Couldn’t Get It Right.
So into you came out in 72 babe. ✌💞🤘
Yes! Strawberry Letter 23 will be my jam until I leave this earth. I was just listening in the car with the windows down yesterday!
This is one of my most favorite songs EVER! The vibes are so seductive.
I come here for the music...I stay for the love. These songs that allow us to see the love between you two is really beautiful. Please remember to show your love and appreciation for each other often.
I sure wish I had found someone to cherish me like Shawn cherishes you. At 53, I give up, but it is lovely to see🙂
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yeah...This was playing on the radio during my childhood! Always amazing vibes. When people still knew how to write songs!
I always liked their music. Good vocals and harmonies. They had some great songs.
Imaginary Lover by them is 🔥
A really cool 70's sound
I grew up in the 70s to incredible music like this. Probably the sexiest song ever. If you want the mood at the right time, you play THIS!
It's about damn time someone did ARS!!!! F i n a l l y!
Champagne Jam
Spooky
Imaginary Lover
...and a few more I can't remember at the moment...
That's an oldie and a goodie. Haven't heard that on in a long time. Thank you!
Hey guys, love this reaction. Had my first date with my future wife (44 yrs together, 40 years married) on New Year’s Eve, 1977/78 at an Atlanta Rhythm Section concert. Still going strong, y’all!,

I really, really ,miss this stuff❣️

As a 70's child I can say we loved, laughed, cried, fought deeply about everything we did, with all we had and it came out in the music of the day.. Love it what we chased everyday...
"Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" by ARS should be your next one. Just as relevant today as it was in 1978.
Loved this and danced with the man who would be my husband! I was 14 and he was 20! NO LOL MINDS IN GUTTER! BUT THIS FELT GOOD AND STILL DOES ONLY I DANCE ALONE AS HE WENT ON HOME AND IS WAITING !! THANKS GUYS!! I AM 65!!
Yes to Brothers Johnson, Strawberry Letter 23. Such smooth vibes
Once again, there's nothing like the 70s. I've always wondered who was the group but at the sametime I heard this song alot. Definitely rock/soul combination 👍🏾✊🏾

Ahh another great group from my long ago.. love it!
You would both love ' Spooky ' ❤
Do Blood Sweat and Tears, You've made me so very happy.
Similar band is Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds, Fallin In Love--country-soul!
I'm from Macon, GA, and I saw them many, many times. The lead singer, Ronnie Hammond, married one of my friends. "Imaginary Lover" {never lets you down} is one of their greatest.
Sometimes just a quiet groove is what is needed.
Thanx for this. I’d forgotten how good this is !
That was beautiful guys. I have heard that song million times on the radio when I was younger. But listening to it now, slowing it down a little and paying attention to the lyrics has really helped me to appreciate this song even more. Wow, that took me to another world for a minute. :)
I send my love to you two love birds and since I found you I check your channel every day trying to catch up. I love you both 🙏✌️😎🎶💯 And for Mel 🌹🙏
Saw Atlanta Rhythm Section multiple times in person. Amazing!
Love, love Atlanta Rhythm Section! I Am Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight is a great song. You will love it
70's have the best. Dive into it
Great song, thanks for the flashback.
This one is fire! Good choice guys!
Three Dog Night/Never Been to Spain
Really good song!
Imaginary Lover is another great song by The Atlanta Rhythm Section.
Shawn loves Mel so much
I forgot this song even existed, great choice, ahead of the competition on this one.
Didnt want that to end! Don't pause, just go straight into Atlanta Rhthym Sections song Spooky.
Loving the music 🎶
First heard this about 43 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 SMOOTH SOUTHERN AMERICAN BLUES, one of my favourite songs.
Mel I swear to God we are music twins!!. I love how you catch and appreciate the "little" things. Much Love to the both of you... My favorite reactors hands down!
I love this song. I never actually saw who sang it. Wow they’re soooo groovy and soulful!! 👌🏼
Funny that you played this , this is the CD in my car right now ! You guys are the best channel of all the reactors ! Love you
I was there for for one of their first gigs. I was working in a club in Atlanta and they needed to polish the act in front of folks. It was awesome.
Another great hit from them is Imaginary Lover
These guys are great, long time no hear
I remember this song. Driving to this on my fm/ am 65 chevy station wagon radio. Lololol🏝😂
This is an awesome song. I like their rendition of Spooky as well.
A Great Southern Rock/R & B band who are the most underrated group in music history. Definitely one of my favorite bands. This was a treat watching you guys react to this song.
Thank you for reminding me of this song!
1972 was a very great year. ✌🤘💞💞 So into you was the song the boys were singing to the girls in the smoke section of the school yard. Yes we were allowed to smoke at school.
ARS has some great songs. Their cover of "Spooky" (Classics IV) is fantastic. "Imaginary Lover" and "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" are also fire.
Some of the Atlanta Rhythm Section were in the Classics IV, so I think of their version of "Spooky" as a "semi-cover".
@@sparky6086 Good to know. But I think if it's a much better version even though I like the original as well. The band I was in during the 80s did a cover of the ARS version. It was lots of fun!
@@mikemiller3069 I like the ARS version best as well.
Listen to the Atlanta Rhythm Section perform "Spooky".
Spooky! For sure please
Living in Atlanta, we used to listen to these guys practice in a little town called Doraville. They have a song about it by the same name.
This song was THE slow jam at high school dances in the mid-late 70s!...ARS has a string of bangers and slow jams: "Stormy (as Classics IV)" "Spooky (as Classics IV and ARS)" "Imaginary Lover" "Champagne Jam" "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" "Do It Or Die" "Alien"
Being born, raised and still living in Georgia, we’re proud of our Georgia boys. Love me some ARS. Ronnie Hammond’s voice was SO awesome. R. I. P. Ronnie.
Love ARS!! I have this album on 8 Track I think lol!!
Love ARS. Great 70s music

Awesome reaction guys i love this song.
Ronnie Hammond was a great singer. Macon, Georgia has produced some great musicians. This song is 🔥!! Love that such songs are part of the soundtrack of my life.
You might enjoy Evileen and Imaginary Lover, Georgia Rhythm, and Spooky
Can’t go wrong with ARS. So smooth and easy to listen to. Spooky is my favorite by this group.
This song always gives me goose bumps,it was written by Robert Nix(the drummer for ARS)about Leslie Hawkins.She was one of the Honkettes,a trio of women who sang

ARS stretched their songs out live, making for some killer jams. "Neon Nights" and "Another Man's Woman" are a couple of my favorites.
They do the best version of Spooky I've EVER heard!
That's another one to listen after the kids hit the rack! :)
Shawn and Mel know the best beats!!! This song is killer!!
You guys are cool as HECK for reacting to this. I follow a few reaction accounts and you guys always seem to listen to your viewers and not follow what other reactors are reacting to. Thanks so much for this! You should definitely do Spooky by Atlanta Rhythm Section 🥰
Great song! This songs been stuck in my head for days, and then this pops up ❤
