64 here. We had the BEST music. Timeless. Love seeing the love from younger ones 💕

Two words “Ventura Highway”. Great song, great reaction. Nice chair dancing too!

I'm a sucker for beautiful harmonies so I LOVE America.

Hall and Oates is considered “blue-eyed soul”. The term was actually first used back in the 1960s referring to groups like the Righteous Brothers and their music, and again in more recent times to Hall and Oates. Actually saw America on a USO tour when they played at the base theater at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, around 1990-91, when I was assigned there in the Air Force. Great live show. 👍

Hall and Oates are the very definition of blue-eyed soul, as well as Michael McDonald's Doobie Brothers. BES is exactly what Tee has defined(soul music performed by white artists), and thus differ from soft Rock (of which Yacht Rock is a sub-genre of) but it can definitely allude to or incorporate (or be incorporated)elements within Soft Rock.

Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Gerry Rafferty, Firefall, Seals & Crofts, Robbie Dupree, Player, Steely Dan, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Stephen Bishop, Dave Mason, Andrew Gold, Rupert Holmes, Bertie Higgins, Leo Sayer, Gino Vanelli and the list can go on…….

Yes, I think they both had blue eyes, that's where blue eye soul came from

This is later into their career. New artist of the year 1973 up against Eagles, Loggins and Messina and Harry Chapin. Such a deep rabbit hole to go down with America. Horse with no name, Tin Man, Lonely People, Daisy Jane, Ventura highway just to name a few.

All I know is the radio was always on when I was a child and this song feels like a warm blanket. ❤❤❤

Sister golden hair,Ventura Highway, Tinman, Horse with no name.

The most popular yacht rock song ever has got to be "The Pina Colada" song. Such a funny catchy song. Love all yall do guys, my favorite reactors on this app.

OMG I wish someone would react to America's " Daisy Jane" . One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Love ya guys.

I love soft rock for those overcast lazy days. I'm old punk, but this music was the stuff that played on the radio when we went camping. Thanks for doing this. So much fun.

I had to look up the term Blue-eyed soul (also called white soul) is rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music performed by white artists. The term was coined in the mid-1960s, to describe white artists whose sound was similar to that of the predominantly black Motown and Stax record labels. America is a great Yacht rock band. You have already done two other big songs from America Sister Golden Hair and Ventura Highway. Check out song - Tin Man

Music is a continuous spectrum from one genre cluster to another. The most interesting music is usually from artists who explore the zones between these genres.

Spot on, Ze!!

Love America as well! I dont know if I consider them Yacht Rock per se, particularly their older stuff. They were more soft rock/folk. They had to adapt to the sound of the 80's, like a lot of 70's bands did. But still, good song.

Yach rock is a new term for soft rock..try...ambrosia...Kenny loggins...gino vanelli...steely dan...Christopher cross.

Tee is right ! Like, Bobby Caldwell, Hall&Oates., Avarage white Band..... To me the Queen of blue eyed soul is Mrs. Teena Marie R.I.P. Id like you see react to *Squarebiz* ! 👍💯💥

I think “yacht rock” is limited within a scope of time as well - late 70s. I’m not sure I know anything I would consider yacht rock if it came out early 70s or 80s.

Hall & Oates, Ambrosia, Simply Red, Player, Foreigner (some), Ace, Bee Gees, Toto are all Blue-Eyed Soul !!! Incidentally, you two are the best couple I've seen in a LONG time !!! Tee you're a great guy and Tasha, always such a delight !!!

Not In Love => yacht rock You Can Do Magic => soft rock

Hall and Oates are known for blue-eyed soul. (Love their Sara Smile.) I would say that Michael McDonald and The Doobie Brothers also qualify as blue-eyed soul. As for yacht rock, I think you're already familiar with Christopher Cross' Sailing. Another song I like is Little River Band's Reminiscing. Also, England Dan and John Cord Foley's 'I'd Really Love to See You Tonight, Seals and Crofts' Summer Breeze, Don Henley's Boys of Summer, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, Eagles' I Can't Tell You Why, Air Supply's Lost in Love, Rupert Holmes' Pina Colada Song.

Definitely a new term...but why? It's music...just love it!❤😊

When I grew up, we listened to songs mostly on the radio or records or cassette or 8 track tape. We couldn't see the color of the singer's skin. And it did not matter, either. A great song was a great song, and soul was soul.

This really cool song was written by Russ Ballard from the band Argent. His solo version is pretty cool too.

Anything by the Righteous Brothers is called blue-eyed soul. I too also thought blue-eyed soul is soul music sung by white artists. Love this format on soft rock or yacht rock. Thanks for the great reactions. 👏👏🥰

This was great!! 😅

Grew up in the 60s and 70s and to my knowledge Frank Sinatra music was never considered Blue Eyed Soul. He was Crooner and Janice Joplin was a Rock singer. There were categories of music and then subcategories that fell under them. Bobby Caldwell would be a Blue Eyed Soul singer for example.😊

Written by Russ Ballard. This is the only song America had as a Top 40 song not written by them. Some America fans dislike this because it does not resemble any of the 1970s songs which they wrote. But I go with the 1980s America fans: I like it because it is a good song although an outside writer wrote this! The live version has guitars which replace the keyboards. RIP Willie Leacox, drums, 2023.

DIGGIN' THE SERIES!!! SO MANY GREAT SONGS in this time period!! HUGS, YA'LL - KEEP 'em COMIN'!!! :)

Hi Tee and Tasha I truly enjoy this journey with your guys

Hey now this song and Sade made a bunch of little childrens😂

They came and played for us at Clark AB in the Philippines…excellent concert in the Club …weeks b4 we had Billy Joel in the stadium and it started To rain and he kept playing it was awesome!!!!

This has to qualify as blue-eyed soul, "Got The Love" by Average White Band.

Great tune guys.love America and they always have catchy vibe that u have to tap your feet too..😂

Tasha's " Abracadabra " showed impeccable timing and wit. The look on her face when she said this ... she definitely knows how to "wield" that magic. That feminie ❤ magic . "Made me realize the powers that I have that I can wield over your soul ... " I realize she laughed as she was saying this, but let's be honest -- she ain't lyin' . Women know. That's all I'm gonna say ... they know. 😊 [ and then she adds "get you to do stuff." uh huh -- they know ] It's sort of funny that there are a handful of songs from around the 70's that have "magic" in their tirles, and they are all good songs that were very popular. Like ... Magic [ Pilot -- 1975 ] Magic [ Olivia Newton John -- 1980 ] Magic Carpet Ride [ Steppenwolf -- 1968 ] Magic Man [ Heart -- 1976 】 Strange Magic [ Electric Light Orchestra -- 1976 ] ... to name a few . And there are a few more. And even more over the decades. And in reference to the term "Blue-eyed soul" , I was under the impression, as Tee was, that it referred to white groups or solo artists who sounded like a black group.

Michael McDonald and Hall and Oates are considered Blue Eyed Soul....

LOVE America!!!

The epitome of blue-eyed soul is The Righteoud Brothers. Followed closely by The Young Rascles

Hall & Oates hate the term "blue-eyed soul". They would agree that soul is soul.

Welcome to 70, 80 The decades who made the best music

This music is what ever you want it to be

Great run of reactions (again!) And GREAT comments from all! High quality stuff All!!

The Righteous Brothers are Blue Eyed Soul! Unchained Melody and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling!

Alan Parsons Project: SIRIUS/EYE IN THE SKY

Childhood memories for sure ☺

America's got a lot of great songs, but this is one of my favorites. Remembering when I first heard this on the radio in high school...

the only time I heard someone use the term "blue eyed soul" was about the 4 Seasons song "Oh What a Night"...but yeah, white people doing R&B....Thanks for the America song, Love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had the best music 70’s and 80’s. Wow ! Brings back memories

Janis was blues rock. The Queen of that Genre. Another shooting star taken at 27.

Thanks for the memories.

America is classic rock .

I always interpreted blue eyed soul the same way you did. Meaning you listen to a song, not knowing who it is, and you believe it’s being done by a black group or a black artist just because of the feel. Then our jaw drops when they turn out to be white! Not a criticism either way, it’s just a vibe. Some people have it and some people don’t. Go listen to the song What You Won’t do For Love. I loved the Lowdown reaction. Keep up the great work! I love what you’re doing together whether it’s a black person or a white person singing. Then you’ll understand blue eyed soul.

I have worked on Yachts since 1986, my Rock memories maybe kinda warped. Once sailing across the Atlantic down to Antigua, 3650 miles in 14 days (dang fast) in my cassette-player was Tracey Chapman stuck in the player. Hour after hour for weeks. We had normal Artists come and play on the boat too, Elton and Eric, British stars.

every color has soul

Blue Eyed Soul = Hall & Oates Soft Rock = The Eagles Yatch Rock = Michael McDonald … All very similar, but subtle distinctions between the genres. Takes some time to really figure it out, and there is a lot of overlap.

I'M 66 years old I was a teenager in the seventies and love 50's 60's and 70's music. That being said I cringe every time I hear someone say "YACHT ROCK" what IDIOT though this up?? Anyway love your reactions❤❤.

They are still touring. Will see the in Atlanta GA in August.

Yes, Blue-eyed soul is mainly R&B sung by white performers. However, it’s primarily defined as a song that you listened to on the radio and you always thought it was sung by a black artist but come to find it was really a white performer or group. Good examples are Bobby Caldwell’s What You Won’t Do for Love and The Doobie Brothers featuring Michael McDonald singing What a Fool Believes. Give a Listen to Len Barry singing 1-2-3.

Getting a real good start from the early 60s, inspired by some late 50's Italian Doo-Wop Groups, The Genre of "Blue Eyed Soul" was getting a good start! Many White and Italian Singers were being influenced by the Black Soul Music of that Era, but yet White Singers were coming up with a Soul style sound of their own, especially Italian Singers, like Frankie Valli, Joey Dee, Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati, and others like Mitch Ryder, Bill Medley, and Bobby Hatfield, so on and so forth. We have searched all over Facebook for reputable Blue Eyed Soul Pages, but we did not find a single one that is clear and defined in the Genre, one page went as far as to call Garth Brooks, Blue Eyed Soul, and we thought, that is enough! And one that called itself that, wasn't even Music, things can really get downright cryptic in Facebookland. So we are setting out to bring a Pure or as close as we can, to the Genre of Blue Eyed Soul. The reason it matters to us to have such a Group is because some of our Groups here were in Blue Eyed Soul Bands bk in the Day. There are some modern Blue Eyed Soul Crooners, not many but some, but they do also get fixed into other Genres, Like Hall and Oats, Simply Red, Bobby Caldwell, and so forth. So it is our hope to be able and fill a niche in the FB Music Category Community. And that you will dig into what we are all about. This has been a promise that I have made to several friends over the years, So here you are Blue Eyed Soul! If you find that you do not care for this style of Music, PLEASE! Don't get worked up, just let us know and we will be glad to remove you, otherwise, we hope you add and enjoy. Thax Felix KM.Galanti aka Kirk Kimball-Martinez.

Well, don't forget 1976, KISS with umm, subtle hints like "Put your hand in my pocket, Grab onto my Rocket"... !

Hello, Blue eyed soul...Van Morrison...Tupelo honey...Magic Time...Days like this...Moondance...Brown Eyed Girl...Jackie Wilson said...Celtic New Year...Did ye get healed...when will I ever learn to live in God...

In Britain we don't categories everything like you do over their, it's just music to us. Either good or bad.

Hall & Oates= Blue Eyed Soul

Please listen to Their song "I need You" it will change your life>>> the Lyrics... please listen to it!

Great reaction guys! 😊

Maybe you should listen to 'Abra-cadabra'.

I love you to react to America The boarder

Check out Fallin in Love by Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds from 1975. You’ll love it.

Hall and Oates are blue eyed soul...

Exactly

A group called Poco, a group callex firefall, a man called Ian Gomm , not one review from any one

I recommend David Gates, the song 'If' if you haven't heard his voice yet. Nice channel, just ran across it.

Lovin this series. 😊 Pls react next to Bugatti & Musker, "So Much In Love". Or Pablo Cruise's "Whatcha Gonna Do". Or "Cool Change" by Little River Band.

There are too many great bands from the 70’s that excelled in soft rock to have a favorite. I’d hate to try and name a few for fear of leaving out someone who should be mentioned. So I’ll just mention Ambrosia for one.

👍

I'm learning with you guys. Regardless, this genre is alright.

Soul is soul for me

He exactly right, is how a man feels with women

Tee is right - Blue-eyed Soul is soul music sung by White people. A good example would be Hall & Oates.

😎🪂

Hi, guys. Would you try pay attention to song When I've got you from Dimash. At the moment he is best world's singer, some people are saying he is best ever. You will not regret, that I promise you

I see yacht rock as a sub group of soft rock. Soul is soul and stands apart. Blue eyed soul is simply soul by white artist. Many seem surprised to find a soul song is performed by white artist, they simply assumed it was done by black artist.

All of America's albums start with the letter 'H'..

Average White Band is the epitome of blue-eyed soul.

This is a perfect example. Yeah its considered "soft rock", but mehhh, theres something else hidden underneath it all, and thats the "soul" part.. You may not really "hear" it per se', but you feel it. Sort of like the rebar in a concrete building, holding everything together. A black artist during this time could've just as easily made this record without even changing that much. They would've probably just dug out the soul and brought it to the surface, and voila, tadahhhhh.

That's what I always thought blue-eyed Soul was though I thought it was white R&B artists

Were are you getting yacht rock does not or ever applyed to america some sort of new age thing .if you came from 70s you would no this
