OMG!!! your grandpa gets a standing ovation for sending you here!!!! LOVE IT!!!! but, you must watch this as a live performance so you can hear the audience participation!! rock on James!!

Another one of those excellent songs that demonstrated that the 1970's has yet to be surpassed for the sheer quality and quality of the music produced.

Thank you JBLETHALs Grandpa!! I don't know either of you in the real world but one thing is clear, Grandpa your grandson clearly adores you. Thanks for making me smile. xx

Your grandparents are soooooo right on! Here's a quote for you: "nobody can tell you, there is only one song worth singing, they may try to tell ya, 'cause it hangs them up, to see someone like you! You gotta make your own kinda music, sing your own special song..." --Cass Elliott, The Mamas and the Papas, Make Your Own Kinda Music (great song to react to, it is so about you! Be yourself, buddy, nobody can tell you who to be but you)!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has a great duet called “Stumbling In”! With Suzy Quattro

Okay.. How many people here sang "Alice, Alice, who the f*ck is Alice" in the chorus?

Always loved Chris Norman's voice. Try his duets with Suzi Quatro, Stumblin' In and I need your love.

Oh heck YES!! One of my all time favourite ever bands. Please please glom onto as many Smokie songs as you can - they had so so many great ones!! Specially the mid 70s to mid 80s stuff like - Do To Me, Don't Play Your Rock N Roll to Me, Little Lucy, Needles & Pins, Lay Back in the Arms of Someone, Oh Carol, Something's Been Making Me Blue, It's Your Life, Wild Wild Angels, Take Good Care of My Baby, Babe It's Up to You, Mexican Girl, etc.... Also lead singer Chris Norman's duet with Suzy Quatro - Stumblin' In.

Thank your grandfather for me! I had forgotten about this great song.

Greetings from Warrington England JB. Grandpa is a smart man. Blessings and love to your grandpa.

James, you have to be one of the sweetest young men who ever lived. I just wanna hug you.

The singer Chris Norman had a duet with Suzie Quattro called Stumblin in ,it's a good one give it a play

First time viewer! I love this song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Love the reactions. I may do a reaction to this Video, it never crossed my mind until now, thanks! This song is Epic. Simply Classic. Next⏯⏯⏯⏯Door to Alex!

Please listen to their "Don't Play Your Rock and Roll to Me", "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", "Something's Been Making Me Blue" and "Lay Back to the Arms of Someone". They are amazing tunes. I still listen to them after some 40 years.

Your reaction was as beautiful as the song itself.

I really love their cover of Needles & Pins too.

Great reaction, thank you. Another few Smokie songs are: Oh Carol, Mexican Girl, I'll Meet You At Midnight, Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone, just to name a few. Do Granpa a favour and do more Smokie.

I've never heard this song before, but I love it! Thanks for introducing me to new music!

I've never heard of this song or Smokie! Your grandpa introduced this to me through you! Tell him thanks for me!

This is another great group, Three Dog Night,Joy to the World or any other song theyve done..great harmony

Yes stumbling in is a great duet

I have not heard this song for years.

This song is worshipped in Ireland 🇮🇪

Welcome to the World of Smokie

Took me several times listening to this song and printing out the lyrics. I finally got! I know what it's about. Sad for him, but good for Sally who also waited 24 years - for him!. Alice a neighbor he loves but won't tell her, she is now gone. Sally loved him for 24 years and now has a chance now that Alice is gone. Well the entire 24 years but the older years into early teen years perhaps. It's actually a heartbreaking song.

Live, Alice who the.... Is Alice?

Going Home is their best song

Aww, I already have this one on my reminiscing playlist. Love it! I remember hoping when I was younger that the boy next door might be thinking this about me! Hehe 😉 This song is such a clever, two-way street for any of us who may have had that unstated girl next door/ boy next door crush. 👋🇦🇺

omg smokie! my first concert that i visited was smokie! :D neddles and pins is one of my favorite songs

GREAT... Thanx James. This brought back so many memories from many years ago.

Love this song💜💚❤️

Your family sounds great. It’s so great that they support you

Hey - Check out another great Smokie song "Lay Back in the Arms of Someone"

GrandPa is just like my Dad. Both have great taste in music 💛

Oh i love Smokie, Chris Norman!

God,that took me back! One of the first pop tracks that i could sing the whole way through. That has brought back good memories. Look up Kool and the Gang,tracks to listen to are Joanna,Celebration or Cherish. They sang mostly feel good stuff that you could dance too.

Smokie has a lot of good music.

Oohhh, your Grandfather has some fantastic taste !!

Your grandpa cool. I have thought about it for years but didn't know who sang it. Thank you grandpa. I love it!!!

Completely forgot about this song!!! Thank your grandpa!! Loved your reaction! ❤

Mud 'Lonely this Christmas' live (though not really) at Top of the Pops with the ventriloquist dummy is one of the greatest bits of TV ever.

I've watched your reactions to a lot of meaningful songs and I can see that they genuinely hit home. Just about every other reviewer has reacted to Chris Stapleton doing Tennessee Whiskey. If you haven't heard it, trust me, you'll be very glad you did. It's fun watching you react to "old school" from the 70's. I was born in 1946 so I've seen and heard it all as far as rock and rock ballads go. I"m also into blues so that's another genre I hope you'll visit. I've watched erery reviewer I could find on KZfaq and Dude, you're the Gold Standard. Rock on!

I can't hear this song without hearing Roy chubby browns version 🤣

Wow, I can remember seeing this on Top Of The Pops in 1973, 74?

I remember this song, but don't remember ever listening to the words. I've been in that situation and it a form of grief when you realise that you missed your chance.

Try "I'll meet you at Midnight". That is a good one.

Oh so glad you got support from at least part of your family xx please don't stop your reaction xxx

Grandpa has a good heart.

Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac on The Midnight Special....Stevie Nicks voice is so awesome.

You need to check out a song by Paper Lace called 'The night Chicago died.' To my understanding it was about Al Capone. Great catchy song.

Thank you for taking me back to a time when I went out clubbing with my gang! Truly nostalgic. Don't worry about the haters. Sometimes people want to drag you down because your amazing spirit threatens them. Just keep on shining.

Me and my dad driving in his car,i was 4,5 and he would play this song. He loved this group..fun memories..btw im 35 now 🙃

loved Smokie,

More Smokie please

Loving the background 😊 I love what you're doing💙

And JB....the audience during the chorus break would scream Alice? Alice? Who the F##k is Alice? Hysterical to participate and make him laugh!

Loving your life stories!

You should definitely react to “What Can I Do” by Smokie too!

keep on rocking and doing what you want to do all my best wishes from england

New subscriber who loves what you do. I'd like to see your reaction to Jimmy Buffet singing Margaritaville.

Brilliant band many many great songs. As someone mentoned Stumblin in is another good one. They sang so many enjoyable ones. Your grandpa has good taste. Old Suzie Quatro & Janis Joplin are great too.

Great song! I’ve never heard it before, either! Your grandpa has great taste!

OMg....I forgot about this song!! Do what you want...you didn't ask them to do it, right? ❤😘

Does your grandpa have the albums? One of my big sisters played this on her record for me, I was hooked. Go look at all the songs on them and borrow them, listen to all of them. Around this time "The Bay City Rollers," were also churning out hits, they wore tartan clothes and long hair. I just can't remember the song names, I was a kid, and only heard them on the radio and countdown on the tv.

Great song!!!

I got they're greatest hits.

The retort is, "Alice? Whi the FU(# is Alice?"

You are amazing. I love your videos.

Oh jeez...I had totally forgotten about this song, lol. It was never my personal favorite but it was popular back in the day!

Great reaction brother thanks

Chris Norman is still performing at the age of 69

Great reaction! Your grandpa is a wise man. The beauty of these songs is that they tell a story. Please check out The Kursaal Flyers and their song "Little does she know"?

💜🦄 love you xoxoxo

Oh wow, brings back memories! If you like his scratchy voice, please check out Rod Stewart - Sailing, Tonight's the Night, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, Maggie May. Another supremely talented 70s/80s singer with a massive following... especially the women 😁

Smokie is a great band. Lots of good songs. I love them. I've never made a suggestion before, but I think you might also really like a band called The Mavericks. I Just Want to Dance the Night Away is a particularly fun song, especially if you do the video version. O What a Thrill, What a Crying Shame, All You Ever Do is Bring Me Down, etc. Can't go wrong with any pick, really........

Your Grandpa always comes up with great music suggestions for you! It's fun to watch you explore different genres etc., you should throw in some swing music. There was a resurgence in the 90's, check out 'Hell' by the Squirrel Nut Zippers or 'Zoot Suit Riot' by the Cherry Poppin Daddies, I think you would get a kick out of them.

Mawi lutuk.🎉🎉

the live version is fun!

I'm damn near 50. How have I not heard this before?

I have a suggestion that I think you`d like, Girls Girls Girls by Sailor. It was a big UK hit at the same time as Smokie, I bet lots have forgotten this great song.

40k subs by the end of the year 🤞

try "The cover of the rolling stone" by doctor hook and the medicine show

Good job you reacted to the clean version 😁😁😁🤣🤣

try the live version of this song, you will love it

Your Grandad has great taste

Would love if you could do a reaction vid to Loggins and Messina's "Angry Eyes" (live version is best). It's a long song, about 8 mins, but great stuff. Merry Christmas all the way from Guam !! : )

Have your grandpa on one time with you and play one of his favorite songs so he can tell us about it

Party song💯

try "Stumbling in"

Wow I forgot about this one

New subscriber here. Love your honest and heartfelt reactions and your joy and appreciation! Keep up the great work and growth :) If you're not familiar with Pentatonix you really need to check them out. Start with their cover of Hallelujah and follow that up with Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bye bye Alice but here comes Sally to rescue you.

How old is your grandpa? He sounds coool!

Love your vids bro. Try reacting to Toto - I’ll be over you !

Drom what i'm seeing here, the common denominator is this particular song in America. BUT there are so many other great songs by SMOKIE as has been pointed out such as- IT'S YOUR LIFE, MEXICAN GIRL, & OH CAROL to name just a few, if you do listen to these others why not post your reactions here on you tube

PLEASE react to Stumblin by Chris Norman and Suzie Quatro.

try the live version, you will love it

Please listen to Stumbling In.....

JB ....TRACY CHAPMAN next reaction you will put her on you're playlist .......from Dennis down under

So I just searched your channel and I can't believe you haven't reacted to Lizzo! And then I realized you also haven't done Yebba's Evergreen?? 😊. You need to. I like your reactions and I think you'll like those. Lizzo "good as hell", "cuz I love you" (amazing voice in that), or "truth hurts" are all really good
