I got one for you...Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum, Jr. It's the greatest one-hit wonder song of all time, with the nastiest fuzz tone ever recorded.

Quentin: “I promise this scene will make you famous Michael” Michael: “Well it does have a catchy tune...”

"Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealer's Wheel when they recorded this Dylan-esque pop, bubblegum favorite from April of 1974 that reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies continues."

I can never hear this song without thinking of Reservoir Dogs...

One of the coolest bass lines ever!

Billy Connolly mentioned in an interview about him and Gerry Rafferty that whenever they recorded anything Gerry would stay behind after everyone left and re record everyone else’s parts himself because he was such a perfectionist that he felt he could play the parts better. My all time favourite artist.

Gerry Rafferty, came from my hometown, in Paisley, Which is in Scotland, He was one of the Best Singer Songwriters, Ever ...R.I.P. Gerry , We still play your Music 🎶🎶🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“Are you gonna bark all day little doggy or are you gonna bite?”

I loved this song for years. I saw Reservoir Dogs in the theater, and when I heard the opening notes, I jumped up and down from excitement. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Gerry Rafferty was a phenomenal musician.

I believe this was Gerry Rafferty's band before he made his famous hit Baker Street

Kings Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight. Rare Earth: I just want to Celebrate and Get Ready

If you want a real "wiggle in your chair" song. War - Low Rider. My go to song for head bobbin, chair wiggling...lol

Jamel, this Is awesome. Youd love "credence Clearwater revival": fortunate son, proud Mary, bad moon rising, looking out my backdoor, have you ever seen the rain?, born on a bayou, around the bend, down on the corner, green river, and run through the jungle. Theres many more. They got some real classics.

I always think this song pairs well with Mama told me not to come.

Yes Jamel this was his band before his solo career when he did Baker Street. I’ve seen other people suggest Boz Skaggs and I agree. Start with “Lowdown”...it’s got that funk you love!

Mungo Jerry "In the Summertime" is a great tune

This is quintessential 70’s stuff here! 👍

Brings my 20's back to me! Love this song. I want to dance in my chair right now!

Rafferty said he was doing his Dylan impression on this one.

Do some supertramp? School, the logical song, breakfast in America (you will recognize the sample from a popular 2000s pop song)

Now this really takes me back, released in 1973. I would play some of my sister's 45 singles back then and this was among the stack.

What a shame by shinedown. It reminds me of my dad. 4 years in Vietnam (66-70) as a door gunner. Never had two nickels to rub together. But worked everyday. Lost him 15 years ago tomorrow to cancer.

Grew up on this song... but every time I hear this song, since 1992, I think of crazy Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs. 😲

You should react to "Too Much Time on My Hands" by Styx. The lyrics are really fitting with what's going on now.

One of my favorite all time songs!! Love seeing Jamel grooving to it 😸

Real quick: I love how you are able to admit when you've heard a song before. So many reaction channels fake hearing shit for the first time.

Gerry's first band was The Humblebums with Billy Connolly, they released three albums. Next up was Steelers Wheel with another three albums and finally Gerry's solo work which produced 10 albums. Born Paisley, Scotland 1947-2011 RIP

Maybe next some Talking Heads. "Once in a Lifetime" and "Road to Nowhere" might be fun,

Michael Madsen (I think) was the dancer wielding the straight razor

Jamel, you bring us joy everyday. Thank you.

Watching you do these puts a big smile 😊 upon my face so thank you!

Aah, Jamel, you just don't disappoint, do ya?! One of my fave's. Thank you for reacting to this. Always a pleasure.

Jamel you gotta do “I’ve seen all good people” by Yes!! They have a bunch of other good songs too I know you’ll enjoy

This song is one of the great moments of musical history.

One of the epic songs of the 70s. There was no one like Gerry Rafferty, like Mark Knopfler, he's a genre unto himself.

The greatest cutting off an ear song, ever written.

I can never hear this song without thinking of Vincent van Gogh.

I remember when this song came out in the 70s I was just a teenager now watching you singing with it your voice blends with a perfectly but if you received the video you would see a guy playing the guitar with a bottle and it makes that weird little sound and it's just great

Marshall Tucker Band- Can’t you see The Band- The weight

I can't even begin to tell you how much your reactions help.

I’m being thrust back to my teen years! I’ll be 65 on April 23rd...😀

"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right"....sounds like my day at work....

I used to have the 45 rpm of this tune, plus 'Star', and 'You Put Something Better Inside of Me'. All by Steelers Wheel.

RIP Gerry. Try Dobie Gray - Drift Away. same era. Also Sheryl Crow sorta ripped this off for All I Wanna Do. Might wanna check that out.

There was so much great music that came out of the 70s, something for everyone. Rock, Soul , Country , Punk , R&B ! And everyone was just grooving . I noticed you haven’t listened to any Edgar Winter . May I suggest “Free Ride “as your introduction ... then “ Frankenstein “

Big man, your reactions always bring joy, stay safe brother

I can't stop moving..every time I hear this song. Always on my top 3 playlists

One or two others recommended it below but I will add to it: Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum. You will dig it!

Please react to John Cougar Mellencamp Cherry Bomb! It was already nostalgic and melancholy when it was released in the 80's! Thank you!

TY for All that you're doing & done! MUSIC has Always BROUGHT People TOGETHER No Matter what Generation! I grey up in Home with a Musical Variety. I have 2 Much Older Siblings who were listening to the mid-late 60's & 70's. My Dad listened to Old Country Music. Then I grew up in the 80's we had the Best Music & Simple Fun Times. I Really Miss those Days!

If you watch the official video of this track you will find Joe Eagan miming the lead vocals of Gerry’s voice as Gerry refused to go to the USA to promote the record. Don’t forget in Gerry‘s early years he also had a folk band with legendary Scottish comedian Billy Connolly called the Humblebum’s.

When I saw Jamels lineup for tonight I knew it was going to be a good night

Hi from the uk! Have a listen to Jim Croce time in a bottle.

the creativity and vocals of that early era of music are timeless... i'd love to hear young bands do covers of these, if they didn't computer generate their vocals and screw them up, lol back then, either you could sing, or you didn't make it...no computer to tweak your voice

I sing this to my co-workers when things are particularly chaotic at work.

Ten Years After, "I'd Love To Change The World."

@2:54 = Sheryl Crow - “All I Wanna Do”

This was on the radio in the 70's when I was a teenager! Good memories! And I never cut no ones ear off!

Great vibes from this song! Great sing along song too! Memory lane! Enjoy

Hey Jamel...the second I see you drop a new video, brother, I drop whatever else I was watchin' & click on over!

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

This was one of my favorite songs from that era.

Dude thank you so much for being such a bright and sunny presence in such gloomy days. You are giving a great gift of lifting people’s spirits up with your videos.

I have a good one for you: I Am I Said..by Neil Diamond this song came out 1971.

Please do a reaction to Bob Seger's "Turn The Page"👍

Awww the good ole days!!! When songs had meanings and were fun 🤩

Great Short Story: I was at a crowded Karaoke bar actually sitting at the bar innocently between two guys who knew each other. I was singing an Andy Gibb song and they were laughing and poking loudly at me singing that Andy Gibb girly song. So the next song I especially chose Stuck In The Middle With You. And all the patrons LAUGHED AT THEM when I would sing "Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right..... They were mad and said not a word further!! Never will forget that. Thx.

You should really react to Elton John. He's my favorite singer, and I think you would really like his songs. Some ones I would recommend is Rocketman, Tiny Dancer, Crocodile Rock, Your Song, Bennie & The Jets and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Loggins and Messina, Danny’s Song. You’ll know it when you hear it.

This song was a the basis for what Bill Bottrell and Sheryl Crow did to create "All I wanna Do"

Doesn't matter where I am.. if I hear this song, I'm gonna be dancing (typically the Michael Madsen shuffle) and singing along. PLEEEEAASE.. PLEEEEAASE.. 😁 Great songs never gets old! ❤

Love this song. When I was a kid I thought this was the beatles! But you really got to check out woman to woman by joe cocker I think you'll be pleasantly surprised :)

It's a shame he didn't do the music video(the original video)...it's weird,but one to see.

There are great artists, great songs and great records. This is a great record. It's perfection. Cannot possibly be improved on. I pray no one ever makes the mistake of doing a cover. We Brits are very proud of Gerry Rafferty, a genius songwriter, singer and musician. Check him out - in his youth he was in a band with fellow Scot Billy Connolly. He died a few years ago, sadly he had issues with alcohol with her courageously wrote about in some of his songs. His legacy is assured. Loved seeing your reaction to his 1978 classic BAKER STREET, that sax is something else huh? The guitar solo's pretty special too!

''Clowns to the left of me , jokers to the right!''. Story of my life! I even have a small sign of that above my desk at work.

“You ever listened to K-Billy’s super sounds of the seventies?......it’s my personal favorite”

You might as well do gimme some lovin by the spencer davis group.

I grew up with this song and it's the song that drove me to see what your reaction was. So when I saw your link I had to see how much you liked it. I always liked this song.

I used to go to the roller skating rink and they'd play this song over & over. Probably 1970ish.... Good times

I think you would have a great reaction to the video These boots are made for walking by the one and only Nancy Sinatra. That's right, she is who you think she is Buddy.

Mungo Jerry, "in the summertime" (if ya havent already)

I’m so glad you did this song, such a classic and such a good song

Jamel... you are adorable!! I love watching your reactions to all the music I have loved since being a kid. I am continuing my campaign for you to react to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "You Got Lucky". You will love the beat, vocals and video!! Trust me... you won't be disappointed!! Thanks for keeping us smiling during this bleak time!! God Bless!!

Hey man this is a very cool site my friend. check out Tony Joe White, the song is called Polk Salad Annie. Great old 70s tune.

This song will forever be tied to Reservoir Dogs for me.

I remember when I was a kid in the 70’s hearing “Stuck in the Middle”, for quite awhile, I mistook it for a George Harrison thing. I can STILL picture George strumming and singing this one. 😆

Oh mannn I haven't heard this in decades & broke right into song - no lyrics needed! This was on the radio ALL the time - it had such a fun beat to it. Thanks Jamel.

Living Colour - The Solace of You

“Can you hear me?” -Mr Blonde

This Song was produced by The Late Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller who were the first Successful Songwriting Duo in Pop. They wrote for Elvis, The Coasters, Willie Mae aka "Big Mama" Thornton, Wilbert Harris and The Drifters.

Your reactions do bring me joy. Thank you.

Scottish Gerry sounding a tad like Dylan on this one; I thought it was on first hearing! R.I.P.

Hey Jamal, Check out Founding Fathers of Funk, "Sly and Family Stone" Song "Thank You( falettinme be nice elf agin). Does it get any Funkier?!!, I grew up with all this classic Rock,then I discovered the funk!!!!!!! It will change your life and perspective!!

Before Gerry went solo. This was his gig. Reservoir Dogs scene brought this tune back into the limelight

Loggins And Messina / Danny’s Song .. This is one of the most beautiful songs

Dr. Hook: Freakers Ball, Get My Rocks Off 2 songs

Please react to Gary Clark Jr. "When My Train Pulls In" Live in Glastonbury.

Was recorded in 1972 and a hit in 1973. Great song. Thank you for sharing. City to City, which Baker Street and Right Down The Line were on, was Gerry Rafferty's 1978 album.

Jamal I am Sooo loving you discovering all this wonderful music and opening your mind, and heart, to a different kind of music that you are generally listening to and enjoying. I love rock but will listen to and enjoy about anything that will make your head bob and foot tap. Rock, Rap, Pop, classical, as long as it makes you happy AND LORD HOW WE NEED THIS RIGHT NOW. As far as you discovering I am almost jealous. NOTHING better than finding something new that is great. I guess we could call it a music virgin 😳😜
