One time in the 2010s, I was shopping in a clothing store and this song came on. I was in the shoe section, and I noticed that several people were singing it as it went on, some of them not so quietly, ha. It was clear that all of us remembered it quite fondly all those years later.
I'm a metalhead, I love this song because it reminds me of my ex and mother of my daughters. She passed away 5 years ago. I'd love to be able to just sit and shoot the breeze with her one more time. RIP Mychalina x
"Quarter moon walking through the milky way." Lyrics sang by Jennifer Warnes in the song "Right Time of The Night" in 1977 is another lyric I enjoy. Good song the Rob Squad might enioy.
Legendary DJ Wolfman Jack did the introduction. The Guess Who did a song about him, "Clap for the Wolfman"--where you can hear him commenting during the song. It's definitely worth a reaction. Also, Wolfman played a DJ in the 1973 film, "American Graffiti"--which you need to do on your movie channel.
Howlin' Wolfman Jack and Case Kasem was my favorite DJs. Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy in the Scooby Doo cartoons. R.I.P Wolfman and Casey Kasem.
You beat to it!! I’ve been hoping for more reactions to the Guess Who, and definitely would listen to Clap for the Wolfman! Also would like To hear them do Dr Hook’s Cove of the Rolling Stone.
Yep I've been telling them to do that movie for a while now. When you've got a channel about reacting to music and a channel reacting to movies it only makes sense to do American Graffiti which is about both.
It’s so funny because I never heard this as a booty call. I always heard it as “I’m not going to ask you for forever yet, I just want to spend time with you” and it was so sweet. We really do hear different things at different stages of our lives haha!
I thought she was afraid of those things happening - moving in, changing her life - if she went out with him, and he's trying to explain that's not what he wants either.
@@k_salter Yes she is afraid of that. But he still wants to get his foot in the door, before she slams it in his face. So he says "he's not talkin bout movin in", to be nonthreatening.
This song reminds me of "One More Night" by Phil Collins.. he softly sings in the lyrics to "please give me one more night".. over and over.. I was 10 when that song came out and I kinda had an idea what he had in mind.. 😆
I never interpreted that part about seeing you tonight as something cheep. Back then, romance was ALIVE and REAL. He just really wanted to see her that night. It wasn't dirty. But, in today's world, that definitely would've meant it in a cheep way.
Exactly how I always took it. I always felt like it was a "lets feel things out and see where it leads, without jumping in and making commitments that we may not be able to keep" feeling. Really miss those days of romance and feelings.
This is a sweet song. It's about not going too fast. It's about not making the same mistakes. It's about taking the time and not promising too much too early. One of my all time favorites.
Great duo from the 1970s. I recommend "Love Is The Answer," "It's Sad to Belong," "Nights Are Forever Without You" and "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again."
The "Cheers" theme is called "Where Everyone Knows Your Name". I don't recall if it was ever released as a single, but everyone knew it! You could probably react to it (under 'Theme from Cheers'). England Dan is Dan Seals. His older brother is the Seals from Seals and Croft, who did "Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl".
Oh, and to answer Jay's question, this song reminds me more of The Greatest American Hero's theme song Believe It or Not (which they've reacted to before) more than it does the Cheers theme song.
Wow! What a difference a generation makes. This WAS a sweet song back in the 70’s. He’s talking to her on the phone. It’s been a while since they’ve seen each other and he just wants to see her. Listen to the lyrics. He said they could walk in the park, go for a drive at the beach, or just stay home and watch TV. He simply wanted to spend time with her. Today’s generation reads so much into older songs. Love you guys, but I think you missed the mark on this one. ❤
Definitely !!! People are really getting judgmental (the left), but at the same time, want your kids to be a member of the LBGTQ+abc123 crowd, allow pedophiles live near schools, pal around with your kids, have drag shows in elementary school classes, take hormone blockers and seriously consider transitioning to another sex because the y left thinks it's cool. I love 'em to death too, but I just hope they start seeing how ridiculous those attitudes are/can be and come back to us.
I agree with you! They missed the mark on this one. It's sad that society has come to the place where the current generation seems to be so paranoid about relationships that they see normal friendships/relationships as having an ulterior motive with the end result being an abnormal or lustful / hedonistic relationship. Can't even give a kid a pat on the back, a word of praise, a tousle of the hair, or a fist bump without someone reading some nefarious, predatory motive into it. So sad! I was born in 1955, and it was totally different back in the day! Sure, there were creeps and abusers then as well -- but if caught, they were dealt with swiftly and thoroughly. If the police didn't catch them before a family member or neighbor did, then God help them through the "private justice system"! But as a kid, I was respected, protected, and accepted by family, friends, neighbors, and total strangers alike. Most of my childhood acquaintances were too! Simpler times; more innocent times, with a large measure of decorum, manners, and mutual respect. Dear Lord, I miss those times, not only for myself but for my grandchildren as well! Sorry for the long comment!
Yes, I think the reaction may be missing the "I'm not talking 'bout the linen". Translation: It doesn't have to be sexual. I always took the song as sweet as it sounds. They could walk through a windy park, or go for a drive, or watch TV. Have you ever really just wanted someone's company? At least that's the way I took it. Maybe I'm naive.
England Dan (Dan Seals) had a pretty successful subsequent career in country music in the 80's. Some really great memorable singles if you liked this song. Everything That Glitters, Bop, I Will Be There, My Baby's Got Good Timing, One Friend, Big Wheels in the Moonlight, Meet Me in Montana (with Marie Osmond). Great great stuff.
This song was playing in the oral surgeon's office while I while was lying there getting an abscess cleaned out. I started humming it, and the doctor paused and said, "I love that song, too." Then we both started humming. Such a cool song.
That's a great comment! I'll bet that was something to hear! As for me, I can't carry a tune normally, much less with a numbed mouth full of Novacaine! LOL!
Hitting some good stuff here. Takes me back to early childhood. These guys had huge radio play in the late 70s. (FYI studio version is much better). Other hits from them you'll love: Nights Are Forever Without You, Love Is The Answer, We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again, It's Sad To Belong. 🔥🎶
The guys did a great job on this live performance, but you might like to listen to the studio version. Strings and soft choral backup singers add to the production value.
Those of us who used to watch the Midnight Special back in the day really appreciate you playing “our music”. I’m so glad you are enjoying it!❤I loved this song. Brings back memories.😊
I always took the song to mean that an evening night kindled a man who was missing & wanting to see his old love to reach out with the promise of taking things slow. 😊👍❤
“Really love to see you tonight” was so sweet! Spend some time together was easy! That warm wind blowing the stars around makes you say yeah ok! It was a popular song we all loved it!
The Wolfman was one of the very first syndicated radio DJs way back then. Hes a legend. U need to react to "Clap for the Wolfman" by the Guess Who. When I say he was super famous...i mean he was SUPER famous for a DJ. I'd like to hear ur thought regarding the music we grew up with, specifically the 70s. Those singers had to prove themselves in front of live audiences ON LIVE TV. NO electronic voice enhancers such as auto-tune. Just them and the music. How do u feel they compare to music today???
I agree back then better much that's what teens did. We were about the music either hanging out at your friends house, mall or a party or going to concerts. Simpler times.
No comparison! Their live performance was straightforward musicianship without any filters, auto-tune or fillers, unlike most of today's popular music. The song structure was also qualitatively much better than today's pop songs that lack dynamics and chord or melodic complexity. Even if soft 70s pop wasn't your thing, it's still worlds richer than what is being produced today. I hadn't heard this in a long time, and it was a breath of fresh air.
I’ve waited for this one. You need to dive down this rabbit hole! ❤Such beautiful memories with this one. ❤Everything they do is magical. Legendary musicians. ❤❤
One of the greatest romantic "date night" songs ever. This was a song you had your first kiss to, or fell in love to, or even proposed to your fiance to. This is what makes a love song great.
I have always loved this song. It is my favorite romantic, slow dance song. I take it as he really loves her, but she wants to take it slow, because he says, "I won't ask for promise, so you don't have to lie, we both played that game before, say I love you then say goodbye." He misses her and just wants to see her and spend time with her.
“Nights are Forever” is a great song. You could also check out Dan Seals’ solo stuff. He had a successful country music career after he and John split. “Everything that Glitters is Not Gold” “You Still Move Me” “Meet Me in Montana” all tremendous songs.
You guys are funny. This was an invite to get together and no pressure on her. This was romantic and sweet! Listen to more of these guys, you’ll love them. Thanks for this, it’s a good one!❤
i loved growing up with this music . we had so much fun at the skating rink and listening to this music . times were so much different then , makes me sad that my grandchildren won't ever know about those times .
Love this song. England Dan later in life went by Dan Seals and sang "Meet me in Montana" with Marie Osmand. Great song. You may want to add that to your reactions list. Beautiful.
You asked who that was that introduced them. That is Wolfman Jack. He was a famous DJ from the 50 60's and 70's. Check out the movie American Grafity. He was in it.
Wow, y’all are taking me back, not only with England Dan and John Ford Coley, one of the best songs from my teenage years, but , Man , Wolfman Jack and Midnight Special! “ Let the Midnight Special shine its ever loving light on you!”
"Nights Are Forever", "Love Is The Answer", "It's Sad To Belong To Someone Else" and "We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again" are other great songs by these two men.
They have a bunch more great songs. I’d really love to see you react to “Love is the Answer”. Other great ones include Nights are forever without you, We’ll never have to say goodbye and It’s sad to belong
From the first note, you can't help but love this song. Just a great melody and beautiful sediments. 💕 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
"England" Dan Seals was one of my late wife's favorite singers. He had a good country career after the soft pop era of his career faded. One of note is a song called "Everything that glitters, is not gold". We were lucky enough to see him in concert in the 90's. Great show.
I’ve always loved this song. There’s a movie with Geena Davis, and Samuel L Jackson that has a pretty funny moment. They are driving, and this song comes on the radio. Samuel’s character starts singing out loud, but he’s singing I’m not talking about the linen. It’s really funny. The movie is called the Long kiss good night. It’s a pretty entertaining little action movie.
I saw them at the Carowinds amusement park back in the 70s. Great little concert! Back then, you got free admission to a concert with your park admission. I saw the Righteous Brothers, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Leo Sayer, And others I just can’t remember. Good times!
Might I suggest, Dan Seals (England Dan) and Marie Osmond, Meet me in Montana. Or anything by Dan Seals showing off his country chops. I loved the reaction and it brough back so many great memories.
It's astonishing that this live performance sounds almost identical to the studio version. In the 70s, you had to be an amazing musician to make it, no doubt about it. I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time!
YESSSSS! ONE OF MY FAVES! As far as the lyrics, I always felt like they were former lovers and he missed her, and he wanted to see her, but he wanted to be sure she knew there was no pressure, that they'd take it one day at a time.
Wolfman Jack was a prominent DJ back in the 60’s and ‘70’s, so much so that the band The Guess Who wrote a song called “Clap for the Wolfman”!! Check it out sometime, it’s pretty good!! 😜
Wolfman Jack was legendary! Made his name as a DJ and that distinctive voice kept him working for over 30 years. The Guess Who wrote Clap for the Wolfman about him. And this song is the essence of smooth 70's rock. Loving it
I’ve been on this journey with you guys for over a year now keep it going you’re getting some really good stuff. I haven’t heard this in forever thank you.
Dan Seals (the lead singer) went on to have great solo career in country. Everything That Glitters, Addicted, You Still Move Me are some of his best. He was always one of my favorites. R.I.P. Dan. Miss that sweet voice. 💔💔
"England Dan" is Dan Seals, the younger brother of James Seals (of "Seals and Crofts" fame), then went on to become fairly big in country music. (Scored pretty big with "Meet Me in Montana", a duet with Marie Osmond)
This live version is very nice, but I still love the Original 'on-air' or 'Official' version even more, esp. due to the Harmony from the Backup Singers. This was their Biggest Hit, I'm sure, since this is about the only one I remember hearing from them. Really Nice, easy-going Song. Thx for Reaction, You Guys! :)
Making your way in the world today takes everything you got. Has the same kind of soft airy tone as the one in this song. Love your reactions as always Jay and Amber. Big smiles and hugs robsquad family 😊❤
England Dan, is Dan Seals. He had numerous Country hits. "Everything That Glitters", "Bop", "Meet Me In Montana" is a duet with Marie Osmond. "You Still Move Me", is amazing by Dan Seals.😀❤
This is a special song for me. Makes me think of my high school sweetheart. We we started dating in '78 and were off and on until a few months before what was to be our '84 wedding. We went our separate ways but it was always great to see her and we remained great friends until she passed away three years ago. As the song says, I really do miss her smile.
If you haven't already done this one, please check out their Love is the Answer (written by Todd Rundgren). Beautiful lyrics and melody. Album version.
Dan Seals had several hits on country and a monster hit with Marie Osmond called Meet me in Montana. I hired Dan for a concert once and he did a great job and ended up coming back to our town several years in row.
Dan Seals had a ton of country hits in the 80's and 90's! Everything that glitters is not gold, BOP, Meet me in Montana (w/ Marie Osmond), Addicted, One friend, They rage on, and Bordertown are all great!
I always hit play on this song when I’m a tad nostalgic for a lost love. We all have those moments where we miss just being with that person and the friendship you had with them within the relationship. Where it would be nice to just spend a little time together without any of the relationship baggage. So, yeah. This is my relationship nostalgia song. ❤️
One of the best soft rock tunes out there. Great choice. The "England Dan" is actually Dan Seals of Seals & Crofts ("Summer Breeze")... and he's actually American, not English, which I always found funny. They were together for one grand decade that we call the 70s. I hope you do more of their songs, including "Nights Are Forever Without You", "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again", "Love is the Answer," and "It's Sad to Belong". And I'm glad you got to "meet" Wolfman Jack, who might just be the most famous radio DJ of all time. He got his nickname not just for his facial hair but his tendency to howl. ;)
Seals & Crofts would be a great rabbit hole, even if it's just his brother. Some great songs, they were everywhere. My daughter even had a friend in school named "Summer Breeze."
Two great icons Wolfman Jack introducing Dan and John Ford Coley also my favorite songs growing up used listen to it over and over again thanks for the memories
Absolute soft rock classic. This has to be one of those songs that everybody loves no matter what you're into.
One time in the 2010s, I was shopping in a clothing store and this song came on. I was in the shoe section, and I noticed that several people were singing it as it went on, some of them not so quietly, ha. It was clear that all of us remembered it quite fondly all those years later.
OMG, I haven't heard Wolfman Jack in decades. Hearing him AND this song with y'all was a nice break in a hectic world 🌎.
@@nancysmith8626 I don't care whether you're a metalhead, into hip hop or funk or jazz. Everyone jams to this song.
Comment is so true .Death metal guy here .
I'm a metalhead, I love this song because it reminds me of my ex and mother of my daughters. She passed away 5 years ago. I'd love to be able to just sit and shoot the breeze with her one more time. RIP Mychalina x
"There's a warm wind blowin' the stars around" I just always loved that line. 💗
I was just going to say the same thing.
That's a miss heard line. "There's a warm wind blowin' the stars are out" is what he's saying
@@rustyshackleford158 I still love it LOL 😉
@@rustyshackleford158 Nope, not happening, I refuse to believe it. Not after 25 years.😁
"Quarter moon walking through the milky way." Lyrics sang by Jennifer Warnes in the song "Right Time of The Night" in 1977 is another lyric I enjoy. Good song the Rob Squad might enioy.
Legendary DJ Wolfman Jack did the introduction. The Guess Who did a song about him, "Clap for the Wolfman"--where you can hear him commenting during the song. It's definitely worth a reaction. Also, Wolfman played a DJ in the 1973 film, "American Graffiti"--which you need to do on your movie channel.
i agree they need to watch American Graffiti. Good choice
Howlin' Wolfman Jack and Case Kasem was my favorite DJs. Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy in the Scooby Doo cartoons. R.I.P Wolfman and Casey Kasem.
You beat to it!! I’ve been hoping for more reactions to the Guess Who, and definitely would listen to Clap for the Wolfman! Also would like To hear them do Dr Hook’s Cove of the Rolling Stone.
Yep I've been telling them to do that movie for a while now. When you've got a channel about reacting to music and a channel reacting to movies it only makes sense to do American Graffiti which is about both.
Absolutely need to listen to Guess Who's Clap for the Wolfman now since you don't know who he is!!
It’s so funny because I never heard this as a booty call. I always heard it as “I’m not going to ask you for forever yet, I just want to spend time with you” and it was so sweet. We really do hear different things at different stages of our lives haha!
True it's not a booty call. He was a bit to clingy for her but he still wanted to spend some time with her without running her off .
I thought she was afraid of those things happening - moving in, changing her life - if she went out with him, and he's trying to explain that's not what he wants either.
@@k_salter yes, even though there is an undertone of him actually wanting it, ha.
@@k_salter Yes she is afraid of that. But he still wants to get his foot in the door, before she slams it in his face. So he says "he's not talkin bout movin in", to be nonthreatening.
This song reminds me of "One More Night" by Phil Collins.. he softly sings in the lyrics to "please give me one more night".. over and over.. I was 10 when that song came out and I kinda had an idea what he had in mind.. 😆
I never interpreted that part about seeing you tonight as something cheep. Back then, romance was ALIVE and REAL. He just really wanted to see her that night. It wasn't dirty. But, in today's world, that definitely would've meant it in a cheep way.
Agree. I think he was speaking to a lost love who had moved on.
He just wants to be with her, even if just to hang out watching tv. No games. Just togetherness.
Yeah, same here. Like, "Hey, I like you and just want to spend some time with you, whatever you want to do. No obligations."
Exactly how I always took it. I always felt like it was a "lets feel things out and see where it leads, without jumping in and making commitments that we may not be able to keep" feeling. Really miss those days of romance and feelings.
Agree with you on this. How mentality changed since.
They were a great duo with a ton of great songs......England Dan is Dan Seals, younger brother of Jim Seals of Seals & Crofts.
JIm Seals just just passed away on June 6, 2022.
Thanks Daniel, I never linked them as brothers.Lovely voices!!!🌻🌻🌻
Didn't Dan Seals have a comeback song of sorts in the mid-80s called "Bop"? Cute, fun song!
I didn't know that! What a talented family. This song is sweet, a warm hug. I've always loved it.
@@terrilgeorge7255 "sweet, a warm hug" - nailed it!
This is a sweet song. It's about not going too fast. It's about not making the same mistakes. It's about taking the time and not promising too much too early. One of my all time favorites.
Didn’t the 70’s though! And all across the lines. Country, R & B, Soul, Rock, Soft Rock, whatever the genre, just a great time for American music.❤
Great duo from the 1970s. I recommend "Love Is The Answer," "It's Sad to Belong," "Nights Are Forever Without You" and "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again."
Loved all those songs as a kid listening to the radio in the 70s. Such good music.
I would add "what can you do with a broken heart"
oh yeah Love is the answer, wow
Nights are forever without you definitely a great song good choice
"Love is the answer" in these times
The "Cheers" theme is called "Where Everyone Knows Your Name". I don't recall if it was ever released as a single, but everyone knew it! You could probably react to it (under 'Theme from Cheers').
England Dan is Dan Seals. His older brother is the Seals from Seals and Croft, who did "Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl".
Yes, it was released as a single, with an extra verse and bridge
"Where Everybody Knows Your Name" was performed by Gary Portnoy.
I would love it if they reacted to tv theme songs - Maybe do a theme song Sunday? X)
Oh, and to answer Jay's question, this song reminds me more of The Greatest American Hero's theme song Believe It or Not (which they've reacted to before) more than it does the Cheers theme song.
It was played on the radio for short time.
Wow! What a difference a generation makes. This WAS a sweet song back in the 70’s. He’s talking to her on the phone. It’s been a while since they’ve seen each other and he just wants to see her. Listen to the lyrics. He said they could walk in the park, go for a drive at the beach, or just stay home and watch TV. He simply wanted to spend time with her. Today’s generation reads so much into older songs. Love you guys, but I think you missed the mark on this one. ❤
Definitely !!! People are really getting judgmental (the left), but at the same time, want your kids to be a member of the LBGTQ+abc123 crowd, allow pedophiles live near schools, pal around with your kids, have drag shows in elementary school classes, take hormone blockers and seriously consider transitioning to another sex because the y left thinks it's cool. I love 'em to death too, but I just hope they start seeing how ridiculous those attitudes are/can be and come back to us.
I agree with you! They missed the mark on this one. It's sad that society has come to the place where the current generation seems to be so paranoid about relationships that they see normal friendships/relationships as having an ulterior motive with the end result being an abnormal or lustful / hedonistic relationship.

I'm completely with you!

Yes I'd love to hear some.dan.seals on.this channel.some very beautiful songs in his catalog
His 'In a Quiet Room' album is outstanding. Acoustic versions of a lot of songs.
"All that gliters is not gold" is another great one. About a rodeo cowboy and his little girl after mom left to be famous.

Some of the best songs are from the 1970s soft rock genre. Just very calming and enjoyable.
This one brings all the feels. The 70s was a glorious time to be a teenager.
The guys did a great job on this live performance, but you might like to listen to the studio version. Strings and soft choral backup singers add to the production value.
YES!
The back up singers really elevate the track!
I agree with all of the above 👆🏻
Yes! They did a great job live, but the studio version is a lot fuller.
They always react to live versions which is disappointing
Those of us who used to watch the Midnight Special back in the day really appreciate you playing “our music”. I’m so glad you are enjoying it!❤I loved this song. Brings back memories.😊

An all time classic right here...My mom and I used to play this song all the time while we were cleaning or doing the dishes...R.I.P Mom.
This was one of my mom’s favourite songs too
Dan Seals, ‘Love is the answer’ is a great song vocal and in line with what you two wish to spread!
Was written by Todd Rundgren
Absolutely love their rendition of that beautiful song
Beautiful song!
Really good tune and excellent reaction as always! You guys have crept up the chart and are now my favorite reactors!
“Really love to see you tonight” was so sweet! Spend some time together was easy! That warm wind blowing the stars around makes you say yeah ok! It was a popular song we all loved it!
Could not hit that like button fast enough!! England Dan (Seals), brother of Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts
"Nights are Forever Without You", It's Sad to Belong", "Love is the Answer"...
Jay, Cheers was a great show. Watched every episode back then. It's wild to me how that's considered an old show now. Life goes by SOO fast!!
Cheers was one of the best sitcoms in tv history. God I miss that show and that theme song.
The Wolfman was one of the very first syndicated radio DJs way back then. Hes a legend. U need to react to "Clap for the Wolfman" by the Guess Who. When I say he was super famous...i mean he was SUPER famous for a DJ. I'd like to hear ur thought regarding the music we grew up with, specifically the 70s. Those singers had to prove themselves in front of live audiences ON LIVE TV. NO electronic voice enhancers such as auto-tune. Just them and the music. How do u feel they compare to music today???
Also, watch American Graffiti, where Wolfman Jack plays himself in a strong supporting role setting the atmosphere.
I agree back then better much that's what teens did. We were about the music either hanging out at your friends house, mall or a party or going to concerts. Simpler times.
No comparison! Their live performance was straightforward musicianship without any filters, auto-tune or fillers, unlike most of today's popular music.

I used to get so excited whenever I heard Wolfman Jack on the radio as a kid, especially his Halloween shows. I loved his voice so much! :)
I love them so much from the 70s and I truly love love is the answer and when I hear it I just get so weepy in the lyrics are so good
Nights are Forever Without You is still on my playlist but they had a lot of good songs. They did a great job singing this one live.
Mine to.
I’ve waited for this one. You need to dive down this rabbit hole! ❤Such beautiful memories with this one. ❤Everything they do is magical. Legendary musicians. ❤❤
One of the greatest romantic "date night" songs ever. This was a song you had your first kiss to, or fell in love to, or even proposed to your fiance to. This is what makes a love song great.
I have always loved this song. It is my favorite romantic, slow dance song. I take it as he really loves her, but she wants to take it slow, because he says,
"I won't ask for promise, so you don't have to lie, we both played that game before, say I love you then say goodbye."
He misses her and just wants to see her and spend time with her.
“Nights are Forever” is a great song. You could also check out Dan Seals’ solo stuff. He had a successful country music career after he and John split. “Everything that Glitters is Not Gold” “You Still Move Me” “Meet Me in Montana” all tremendous songs.
I actually cannot suggest Everything that Glitters enough. That’s one of the best songs ever written.
I had and lost a Dan Seals solo album or maybe a cassette. I remember loving it.
You guys are funny. This was an invite to get together and no pressure on her. This was romantic and sweet! Listen to more of these guys, you’ll love them.
Thanks for this, it’s a good one!❤
Yeah, they missed it.
i loved growing up with this music . we had so much fun at the skating rink and listening to this music . times were so much different then , makes me sad that my grandchildren won't ever know about those times .
Love this song. England Dan later in life went by Dan Seals and sang "Meet me in Montana" with Marie Osmand. Great song. You may want to add that to your reactions list. Beautiful.
This is an absolutely beautiful song and most definitely a soft rock classic.
Love Is The Answer should be your next by them. It's my favorite by them.
Love these classics. The 70's produced some amazing soft rock with great harmonies and excellent writing. Good choice.
You asked who that was that introduced them. That is Wolfman Jack. He was a famous DJ from the 50 60's and 70's. Check out the movie American Grafity. He was in it.
I haven't heard this song in forever. This song was all over the soft rock stations in the mid 70's!
Love is the Answer is the song you're looking for. It's the best.
7 years old when I first heard this song, and instantly became embedded in my life's soundtrack.
The piano caught me, and the vocals owned it.
England Dan and John Ford Cooley
Love Is The Answer
Nights Are Forever (Without You)
Oh so many memories, one of my favourite 70's tracks, takes me back!
Wolfman Jack was a famous radio DJ back in the 70’s
Wish groups today could sing live like this. Truly a lost art.
Love is the Answer is one of their best songs.
Wow, y’all are taking me back, not only with England Dan and John Ford Coley, one of the best songs from my teenage years, but , Man , Wolfman Jack and Midnight Special! “ Let the Midnight Special shine its ever loving light on you!”
"Nights Are Forever", "Love Is The Answer", "It's Sad To Belong To Someone Else" and "We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again" are other great songs by these two men.
I was really little in the late 70s...I remember this being on the radio alot..loved it then love it now...70s soft rock at its best...smooth
They have a bunch more great songs. I’d really love to see you react to “Love is the Answer”. Other great ones include Nights are forever without you, We’ll never have to say goodbye and It’s sad to belong
Loved this song as a kid. The 70's had such purely great singers.
From the first note, you can't help but love this song. Just a great melody and beautiful sediments. 💕 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Definitely the 70's
I remember they played this on the radio all the time when I was a kid. Love this.
One of my fave 70s songs. It just gives u such a great feeling when hearing it
"England" Dan Seals was one of my late wife's favorite singers. He had a good country career after the soft pop era of his career faded. One of note is a song called "Everything that glitters, is not gold". We were lucky enough to see him in concert in the 90's. Great show.
I love their songs. ❤
This is what the 70's sounded like. There were a lot of different kinds of artists, but for me this just so encapsulates the overall feel.
England Dan Seals is the brother of Jim Seals from the popular group Seals and Crofts.
Love you guys, I'm a huge cheers fan and never linked those two together. You my friend are right on the money!!!🌻🌻🌻
one of my all time favorite songs, looking forward to the Amber sway.
What a great live performance. Real talent there.
"Sad To Belong", "Love Is The Answer", +++
So many good songs they had.
Btw, Dan is the brother of Jim Seals, of Seals and Croft.
Ahh so glad to see this song make it on your reaction list...it has always been one of my favorite 70's songs 👍
Such a great song.
This is one of those songs I love this song so much. When they talk about yacht rock, this is right up there at the top.
I’ve always loved this song. There’s a movie with Geena Davis, and Samuel L Jackson that has a pretty funny moment. They are driving, and this song comes on the radio. Samuel’s character starts singing out loud, but he’s singing I’m not talking about the linen. It’s really funny. The movie is called the Long kiss good night. It’s a pretty entertaining little action movie.
I saw them at the Carowinds amusement park back in the 70s. Great little concert! Back then, you got free admission to a concert with your park admission. I saw the Righteous Brothers, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Leo Sayer, And others I just can’t remember. Good times!
One of my favorites from them is “Love is the Answer.”
I grew up with this song in the 70’s. The lyrics still ring ring true today.
Might I suggest, Dan Seals (England Dan) and Marie Osmond, Meet me in Montana. Or anything by Dan Seals showing off his country chops. I loved the reaction and it brough back so many great memories.
This is "Soft Rock" at its very best 👌. Have always loved this one. Beautiful Beautiful song, sung beautifully. 💯%❤🎶❤🎶
It's astonishing that this live performance sounds almost identical to the studio version. In the 70s, you had to be an amazing musician to make it, no doubt about it. I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time!
Yea, that was a time before equipment to equalize voices. People really sang then.
YESSSSS! ONE OF MY FAVES! As far as the lyrics, I always felt like they were former lovers and he missed her, and he wanted to see her, but he wanted to be sure she knew there was no pressure, that they'd take it one day at a time.
Wolfman Jack was a prominent DJ back in the 60’s and ‘70’s, so much so that the band The Guess Who wrote a song called “Clap for the Wolfman”!! Check it out sometime, it’s pretty good!! 😜
Wolfman Jack was legendary! Made his name as a DJ and that distinctive voice kept him working for over 30 years. The Guess Who wrote Clap for the Wolfman about him. And this song is the essence of smooth 70's rock. Loving it
I get the "Cheers" musical reference. You are correct.
I’ve been on this journey with you guys for over a year now keep it going you’re getting some really good stuff. I haven’t heard this in forever thank you.
Dan Seals (the lead singer) went on to have great solo career in country. Everything That Glitters, Addicted, You Still Move Me are some of his best. He was always one of my favorites. R.I.P. Dan. Miss that sweet voice. 💔💔
Addicted is one of my favorites!!
"England Dan" is Dan Seals, the younger brother of James Seals (of "Seals and Crofts" fame), then went on to become fairly big in country music. (Scored pretty big with "Meet Me in Montana", a duet with Marie Osmond)
Announcer was legend, Wolfman Jack DJ
The best part about these soft rock songs is that you can’t help but sing along.
This live version is very nice, but I still love the Original 'on-air' or 'Official' version even more, esp. due to the Harmony from the Backup Singers. This was their Biggest Hit, I'm sure, since this is about the only one I remember hearing from them. Really Nice, easy-going Song. Thx for Reaction, You Guys! :)
Totally agree. Background singers repeating the lines added so much. I always thought the Midnight Special recorded songs were not as good.
Making your way in the world today takes everything you got. Has the same kind of soft airy tone as the one in this song. Love your reactions as always Jay and Amber. Big smiles and hugs robsquad family 😊❤
Dan Seals country career was very good. He's also brother to Seals from Seals and Croft. My personal favorite is All that Glitters is not gold.
Love Is The Answer is one of my favorite songs, not just by the duo, but of all time.
I think Whenever I Call You Friend by Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks would be a great song to react to.
England Dan, is Dan Seals. He had numerous Country hits. "Everything That Glitters", "Bop", "Meet Me In Montana" is a duet with Marie Osmond. "You Still Move Me", is amazing by Dan Seals.😀❤
We’re All Alone by Rita Coolidge is another great song I think you’ll enjoy.
This is a special song for me. Makes me think of my high school sweetheart. We we started dating in '78 and were off and on until a few months before what was to be our '84 wedding. We went our separate ways but it was always great to see her and we remained great friends until she passed away three years ago. As the song says, I really do miss her smile.
If you haven't already done this one, please check out their Love is the Answer (written by Todd Rundgren). Beautiful lyrics and melody. Album version.
Great to see younger generation appreciate classic 70s-80s. Music was special then!
Love is the answer is their best in my opinion. I hope you get a chance to check it out!
Always loved this song. Sang this to my wife back before we married. Rest in peace my dear.🥰⚘⚘💋 40 years.
Dan Seals had several hits on country and a monster hit with Marie Osmond called Meet me in Montana. I hired Dan for a concert once and he did a great job and ended up coming back to our town several years in row.
Bop was one of his first hit country songs and he also called his touring bus Bop. Great saxaphone player also.
Dan Seals had a ton of country hits in the 80's and 90's! Everything that glitters is not gold, BOP, Meet me in Montana (w/ Marie Osmond), Addicted, One friend, They rage on, and Bordertown are all great!
If only they still wrote songs like this. The best of album is a must have . Every song is a hit ❤
Next do their hit Nights are Forever a little more rock
I always hit play on this song when I’m a tad nostalgic for a lost love. We all have those moments where we miss just being with that person and the friendship you had with them within the relationship. Where it would be nice to just spend a little time together without any of the relationship baggage. So, yeah. This is my relationship nostalgia song. ❤️
Please listen to "Waiting for a Star to Fall" from BOY MEETS GIRL.
almost 40 years ago, this was the song of my first real love and I. This really brought me back to a magical time and place in my mind. Thank you.
One of the best soft rock tunes out there. Great choice. The "England Dan" is actually Dan Seals of Seals & Crofts ("Summer Breeze")... and he's actually American, not English, which I always found funny. They were together for one grand decade that we call the 70s. I hope you do more of their songs, including "Nights Are Forever Without You", "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again", "Love is the Answer," and "It's Sad to Belong". And I'm glad you got to "meet" Wolfman Jack, who might just be the most famous radio DJ of all time. He got his nickname not just for his facial hair but his tendency to howl. ;)
no, Jim Seals was Seals of Seals & Crofts. Dan is the brother.
@@surlechapeau Ouch. Good catch. Thanks.
@@Shrykespeare you're welcome
Seals & Crofts would be a great rabbit hole, even if it's just his brother. Some great songs, they were everywhere. My daughter even had a friend in school named "Summer Breeze."
Two great icons Wolfman Jack introducing Dan and John Ford Coley also my favorite songs growing up used listen to it over and over again thanks for the memories
