They don’t make music like this any longer. Just love it.
I LOVED watching Soul Train on Saturday afternoons as a kid. There will never be anything like it. Real people enjoying real music.
That was my mom's hair before I was born. It was called bouffant, and took lots of reading and hairspray to accomplish. My mom and dad used to love to go dancing, and took every opportunity to do so right up til my mom suffered a shattered knee cap. Took so many surgeries that she never regained proper use. But she still love to slow dance. They taught me some Dames, I wish I could still pull them off.. Lol.
You just don't hear this type of soul music anymore. I love her voice and I like the words to the song. This takes me back to the basement parties of my youth with the black light on and somebody named Big Mama was always upstairs frying chicken and fish 😂
Amen to that!
Now I want some fried chicken and fish! 🙂
@@octoberguy I know what you mean. The power suggestion I tell ya you can talk about a type of food and next thing you know you want some of it LoL
Gotta love Big Momma!!!
@@LiberalsArePoop Oh yeah, I've been to a many basement parties and there was always a big mama up stairs in the kitchen frying chicken and fish and selling them as sandwiches and they were the best greasy sandwiches on the planet where the bread sticks to the roof of your mouth 😂😂
Per Songfacts In this song, Jean Knight addresses a ladies' man with means, letting him know that she's not going to fall for his charms and isn't impressed with his fancy clothes or big fine car. He won't break her heart because she'll never give him the chance. The man for her is one with a love that's true, even if he's broke.
This was Knight's first national hit. She recorded it in May of 1970 at Malaco Studios in Jackson, Mississippi. Prior to going there, Knight worked as a baker at Loyola University in New Orleans.
Great info, thank you for sharing!
The Soul Train started as a local show on WCIU in Chicago. Don Cornelius was a DJ on WVON (the Voice of the Negro) and that was his baby. Broadcast from a tiny studio, the dancers were from local high schools. My sister was on with my boyfriend (I was too shy and being on tv scared the crap out of me). The year was 1970. They got “interviewed” on camera by Cornelius (and what’s your name, how old are you, where do you go to school). Then the show got picked up nationally and moved to Los Angeles.
Great song!! Always reminds me of the Honeycomb’s huge hit “Want Ads”.
Honey Cone
Maxine Nightingale and Evelyn King would be great choices for female Friday. They are both incredible soul singers.Evelyn King's "Shame" was a huge disco hit and Maxine Nightingale's "Get Right Back Where We're Starting From" is a great and sassy soul song. Both ladies also played on "Soul Train". You guys also need to play more Pointer Sisters. "Automatic", "Slow Hand" and "I'm So Excited" are songs they sang from the 80's and not the 70's but these ladies are truly full of soul and truly sassy. You guys listened to them before and I know you would like them again.
Yes, Pointer Sister's Slow Hand. One of my favorite songs by them. I saw them live at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe along with Lou Rawls, The Four Tops and The Temptations. What a show.
And Freda Payne's "Band of Gold"....
What he said!🙌
A song with kind of a similar message from about twenty years later is En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" from 1992.
Another sassy song that came out about the same time as "Mr. Big Stuff" is "Clean Up Woman" by Betty Wright, who recently passed away. The song also has a great driving bass line all throughout that Jay would love! Miss Knight was rocking that bouffant hair-do, wasn't she?
It was a wig you guys.
This came out of 1971. I was 10 years old fractured my wrist. My father told me not to go somewhere and I went and fractured my wrist..6-22-1971..My Aunt died on the D train..7-22-1971..so this song along with James Brown's hot pants and Carly Simon's "That's the way I've always heard it should be" got me through the summer. My dad was a genius by the way. I was in a cast from 6-22-1971- September 30th 1971. Cause I refractured it while in the cast.
You broke your wrist the day before my 10th birthday. Isn't that a fun piece of useless information? ✌️
Funny I was 8 when this came out.
She sang this song in the studio in one take. Amazing. 🤩
She's from my hometown of New Orleans. Saw her probably 20 times and she always rocked it! She could do a great rendition of The Staples " I know a place ".
The song is " I'ĺl Take You There".
I’ll Take You There,what a tuuuuune.
Earlier 70's soul music was the best....the sunny decade ... this song reminds me of "Wants Ads " by The Honey Cone, "Band of Gold" by Freda Payne , "Walkin" In The Rain With The One I Love" by Love Unlimited, '" Pillow Talk" by Sylvia Robinson etc....groovy was the word. Great times... by then.
Great song from my childhood. Another great song from same year (1971) was Want Ads by Honey Cone a Los Angeles trio. Song was written by one of the greatest song writing teams in history Holland-Dozier-Holland of Motown fame. They left Motown in 1967.
I haven't heard this in years. There were so many great songs in the 60's and 70's that it's impossible to remember all of them.
Reminiscing by Little River Band or Lotta Love by Nicolette Larson.....beautiful song written by Neil Young.
Peace from Pennsylvania ✌
Another one hit wonder, female performer, from the 70's I would love for you to react to is Nicolette Larson and her song "Lotta Love". It reached No. 8 on the charts but continues to be played decades later. It is actually a cover of Neil Young's "Lotta Love". Both Nicolette Larson and Linda Ronstadt had sung back up for Neil Young and Linda Ronstadt recommended Nicolette should cover the song. Nicolette's version came out in 1978.
Mr. Big Stuff is a great song also.
Oh wow! Amazing choice. I remember this song as a little kid and it impacted me then and still has a similar effect when I hear it today. It’s got an amazing groove and that delivery and message brilliant!!!
“Mr Big Stuff” was a big hit….we loved dancing to it and singing along!
"Soul Train" has an official UA-cam channel. It has current interviews from some of the former ST dancers and also some music artists. There's been some performers that started out as dancers on Soul Train like Patrice Rushen, Shalamar, 1980s girl group The Good Girls, & the actress Rosie Perez. I think you might have reacted to her hit song "Mickey", but Toni Basil also appeared on "Soul Train" in the 1970s with her dance crew The Lockers. Fred Berry, who later appeared on the 1970s sitcom "What's Happening!!!" was one of the early members of The Lockers and so was Shabba Doo, who was in the 1980s "Breakin'" movies.
RIP, Jean Knight.
early 1970s r&b! my childhood! if you could only see the smile on my face!
Ahhh smiles are good.
Hey Rob Squad family! Please check out Want Ads by The Honey Cone which was also on Soul Train! I know y'all will dig this one too! I have a suggestion maybe you could do a Soul Train Line night to see them boogie on down the line! I got another one for you to check out Boogie Down by Al Jarreau.
Where is this talented, unique songwriting today? Come on, young people, get it together!
Great selection. We were so lucky back in the day for music. Midnight Special, Don Kircherner Rock Concert, and of course Soul Train (yes, I sang it) to see our artists perform their music.
What a fantastic upbeat song this is. Keep up the good work guys
As soon as I saw the title I had to listen. This song connected! It's funky, soul and folksy.
I was a little kid when this was out. She's a one hit wonder. This was mid 70's I believe!
People Magazine headline:
Jean Knight, Legendary 'Mr. Big Stuff' Singer, Dead at 80
Knight died of natural causes on November 22, her family confirmed in a statement Sunday
Rest in Peace
You guys are growing fast because you react to a wide spectrum of music. Need southern gospel to understand soul; folk to understand country and 70s, big band to understand 50s, Latin to understand modern jazz, and traditional jazz/blues to understand rock. We are enjoying your journey!
Another Soul Train performance by females is YES WE CAN CAN by The Pointer Sisters. You’ll love them! 😀
Yes We Can Can is my favorite Pointer Sisters song! It was written in 1973 but, listen to the lyrics....it could have been written about today! GREAT SONG!!
@@pal4204 Totally agree! And that's my favorite Pointer Sisters song, too!
David Bowie singing Golden Years on the Soul Train is brilliant! 🕺
Some more really good songs in this time frame are Freda Payne - Band Of Gold, Betty Wright - Tonight Is The Night, Lee Michaels - Do You Know What I Mean & Stampeders - Sweet City Woman. Thank you both for all you do! 🥰🥰🥰
I could not stop smiling all way through this song. It's just so good. And Miss Knight has a fabulous voice, and it's so effortless!
I too would have loved to go to a Soultrain show. 🎵🕺💃
I'm glad you guys found this one. It's an absolute classic! The music is irresistible, and she ain't havin' any nonsense! I don't remember any other songs by Jean Knight, but another similar song from the same era (late 60s into the 70s) "Take a Letter, Maria" by R.B. Greaves, is absolute fire! All over the radio, around the same time as Mr. Big Stuff.
This is a classic, mega-hit for Jean Knight! The hair is not a beehive but it is big hair, it's what they called a bouffant. This was the early seventies (1971). Soul Train was so important to black culture because for the first time we saw a dance show that was catering to us and that we could relate to. That doesn't take away from shows like American Bandstand (that we also love to watch) because they were hugely important and entertaining also but it was just nice to see a whole show dedicated to black culture because sometimes the music that was popular on black radio didn't make it onto those other shows! I grew up on Soul Train (1971-2006) and American Bandstand (1952-1989)...I watched them every Saturday morning as a kid, right after cartoons! LOL!❤❤
Sylvia "Pillow Talk" is a great female Fridays song!!!.......much love and blessings to you both.
She also did a version of Rockin' Sidney's "My Toot Toot".
I did not know that! Love Rockin Sidney. Y'all need to do him, great zydeco music!
R.I.P Ms Knight ❤
In Honor & Memory Of Louis Johnson,,
The Brothers Johnson "I'll Be Good To You",, "Strawberry Letter 23" & "Stomp"
...R.I.P. Louis🙏❤
If you want another Soul Train performance, my ALL TIME FAVORITE is 5th Dimension "One Less Bell To Answer". The Soul Train performance of that one....Marilyn McCoo just takes my breath away with how beautiful she looks!
RIP my queen!!! This was a big hit back in the 70's and very catchy. I'm going to keep recommending you 2 react to the late great Phyllis Hyman and her beautiful voice singing "Living All Alone" and also the sexy song from this same era by Sylvia called "Pillow Talk"(The live version from Soul Train)
I found out from my mother she is my cousin. I didn’t know she passed away. I love her music. She will be truly missed 😢
The next level
Dj.m.smooth
Back then .. it was Soul Train, American Bandstand & The Midnight Special. It was amazing to see all the dancers on those programs. Such fun!! And of course a great song .. 😊❣️
A New Orleans Girl who had signed with Stax Records, the Old Memphis Southern Soul label. But it was recorded at Malacco Records in Jackson, Mississippi.
This is a good one! "Mr. Big Stuff" peaked @ #2 (for 2 weeks) on the Billboard Hot 100 and was #1(for 5 weeks) on the R&B/Soul chart in 1971. Jean charted several other singles but none had the impact of this one.
Recommended: In a similar vein, "Clean Up Woman" by Betty Wright (also from 1971 and Top 10 charted on both the Pop (#6) & Soul (#2 for 8 weeks!) charts).
[EDIT]: I had to know which record kept Betty Wright @ #2 for EIGHT WEEKS!: "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green. Makes sense now.
OH YEAH!!! 1971 Awesomeness... Groovin, head bopping and gets people groovin. When I am playing the music, this always comes on.
Songs you can actually sing along to ❤️ no cursing (leaving blanks all over), no mumbling, and best of all REAL voices. 👏👏
not one twerk! Great music
Great musicians too!
Every time I hear this song, I'm transported back to the Summer of 1971 when I was a little kid and neighbors across the street were having a birthday for one of their kids and my parents and I were invited. I distinctly remember this song blaring from the speakers so the whole neighborhood could hear it. One of the beautiful memories from childhood.
I love this song! You should also check out "Clean Up Woman" by Betty Wright.
That's CRUISING HAIR! Such a fun song and easy to dance to. 👍👍👍
Every time your intro plays... I hear this song! I totally missed that you did this song. Do you not hear the rhythm and even the Ooo. missing only "who do you think you are" that follows... Love your content, thank you for the smile you two put on my face.
Oooh, good one! THIS takes me way way back. Always loved this song. This was early 70's.
Soul Train ran from about 1970 up to around 2006, I believe. The main host was Don Cornelius . You should be able to find old clips on UA-cam of all the fun things they did like dance off competitions. Lots of big stars on that show over the years for sure!!
Ohmygosh I LOVE THIS SONG!! ❤️🎶
love, Love, LOVE this song! It brings back very fond memories of my childhood. Thank you!🥰
Now that you have heard Jean how about Miss Gladys Knight... she has so many great songs that you haven't sampled yet. Go Gladys!
I always liked this song and it’s even to this day on my iPod playlist. I believe Jean Knight was one hit wonder, though. I never heard of any other songs by her.
1971, I’m 12 years old and having a great summer of playing football and basketball, AND girl watching. I always carried a transistor radio and had it tuned to 77 WABC Radio, and the legendary DJ’S, Cousin Bruce Morrow, Dan Ingram, Ron Lundy and the rest of the greats, and when this song came on, it blew my mind. Amber, this song is in your wheelhouse with a great horns section.
Teena Marie Ooh La La La, on Soul Train 1988. Watch this one. Teena Marie can never be replaced, She will always be in our Hearts
This song has been covered many, many times and they are all great!
Oreos used this song in a commercial for the double stuff!
Awesome ! So glad you brought up this song , I haven't heard it in several decades. "Great Stuff" from early 70's
Good album and single great live singer
Great song. Great reaction. Other great songs from this same year (1971) "Indian Reservation" by The Raiders, "Want Ads' by The Honey Cone, "Chicka Boom(dont ja jes luv it) by Daddy Dewdrop "Brand New Key" by Melanie "Rose Garden by Lynne Anderson 😀
A new artist to check out on Female Friday: Toni Braxton "Unbreak My Heart." You will love her voice!
Also: Kreesha Turner - "Don't Call Me baby"
They don't do modern music that often don't hold your breath.
@@jesmasa1 lol...the song is from 1996. They've reacted to some 90s music.
@@dv3507lol exactly some...they seem more into 50's-70s with a lil 80s mix in and sprinkle of 90s. It's okay I love music from all decades. But just saying don't hold your breath lol
Loved me some Soul Train back in the day!!!!! Never missed it!!! loved 60-70's soul music!!!! it was the BEST!!!! this was 1971!!!!
I used to enjoy dancing off that song at the club
Happy weekend J&A 🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥 Don Cornelius was a genius with SOUL TRAIN 🚂🚂🚂🚂🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
i remember seeing Ms Knight do this performance on Soul Train when the episode first aired! Watching Soul Train back in the day introduced me to a TON of great music. Great stuff!
This brings me back to my 14 year old self. ❤️✌🏻🎶
Rip Jean knight
Soul Train introduced us to so many great performers who defined the era! Jean Knight was just so cool!
This song reminds me of the video of the line dance on Soul Train, dancing to Funky Town by Lipps Inc. So great.
I have good memories at this song, I used to dance on it, they played it often in the disco at the early seventies. Those were the days. 🎶🎶🎶💕💕👍
There are videos on YT with interviews with a lot of the regular Soul Train dancers. They were just local high school kids who would go down to the studio and try to get chosen...once they were in a lot of them were asked back and became regulars. They were all friends. I was a little white girl who lived for Soul Train every Saturday at 11AM! I always wanted to be on the show. And the host, Don Cornelius, was the coolest. Peace, Love, and Soul!
Great choice! 😄 I was a little kid when this came out, but this is my music. More along this line: "Just One Look," by Doris Troy; "I Know," by Barbara George; "Whatta Man," by Lynda Lyndell (inspiration for the Salt & Pepa/En Vogue version); and "Trapped by a Thing Called Love," a soul classic by blues singer Denise LaSalle.
I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!
I love this ! You both are awesome together and I love the whole vibe. I am a professional bass player and I wanna say thank you for bringing music reactions from different genres and keeping it fun for everyone. I would like to request “All this Love “ and “Rythym of the night “ both by DeBarge ! I enjoyed your reaction to “ I like it “ Please do More El DeBarge and his amazing lead vocal !
The band Switch ,also of the DeBarge family featured Bobby DeBarge who had a great falsetto and sounded a lot like his brother El DeBarge . God bless you both we love what your doing ! Keep the love of music coming .
As a kid I always loved watching the people dancing in the background! Gave me a laugh because everyone is just doing their own thing.
This has all the vibes! You should watch the movie Crooklyn. It has a great soundtrack and a vibe.
Jay & Amber, her other top 40 R&B hit was "You Think You're Hot Stuff"!
. . . those were the days!!! I watched SOUL TRAIN and AMERICAN BANDSTAND every Saturday! 👍😃❣️😃👍 . . . and can't forget MIDNIGHT SPECIAL!! you two just don't know how great life was!!
A local contemporary singer did this song with a great back up band a couple of years ago and dedicated it to a certain politician. BTW, I love this song and I have it on a 45 RPM record.
Aw hell, this was recorded in my hometown, at the historic Malaco Studios on Northside Drive in Jackson Mississippi! This was all over the radio when I was around 4, lol!
Check out Misty Blue by Dorothy Moore, another number one hit from Malaco.
Whoa. Throwing back good memories. Big smile.
Amber shirt goes along with the bumper sticker I first saw in the late 60's. It read "One Planet, One People." Loving all the songs you guys check out. There are even songs I never heard before.
I was a teenager! Always loved this song! 😊
Oh wow. I almost forgot this one. Really good tune.
That hair!!! That awesome hair!!! 🤩😆This was way before my time.. but I don't think that's a beehive... I think that was a bouffant!?!? Chime in peeps if I have it wrong.. but I think my mum had one before I was born.. and told me about it .. when I saw it in some old photos!!! lol 😊
My first job at age 13 ( 1971 )working in a Bicycle shop for an old fellow he would always sing it Mr. pinkstaff when this came on….
Soul Train actually started here in Chicago on 26. Don Cornelius and the Soul Train moved out to Los Angeles but Channel 26 kept the local Soul Train show for awhile. Shabba Do, the break dancer was an original Soul Train both here in Chicago and out in Los Angeles. He eventually became a part of a phenomenal dance group known as the Lockers which included the brother from the What's Happening TV show who played Rerun.
Remember this song when I was in junior high. Loved it!
‘Express Yourself’ - Charles Knight
Aww Yeah, from my home state of Louisiana. I've always loved her. 😍
You should react to “And I Am Telling You “ by Jennifer Holiday. Great song.
This song was a jam! Thank you for reacting to another great cut from back in the day.
What an era !!
We loved it all.
FEMALE FRIDAY'S::
Katrina & The Waves "Walking On Sunshine"
Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait"
Dido "Thank You"
I do remember it on radio... I think early '70s? Liked it then and still do! I may not have heard it for Decades! Good Review. :) Have a Great Weekend You Guys! PS- I did sometimes watch Soul Train some on TV....would be fun to hear Reactions from folks who attended their sessions... Great Idea!
