It's so easy to forget that this is an a capella group and there really aren't any instruments being used. Home Free doesn't just to covers, they do upgrades.

Austin is doing good justice to this song because he's fairly newly head over heels in love with a lovely young thing, and she's standing behind the camera man while he sings. You can see him give sparkly eyes at her, and it looks like he's sparkling at us because she's right there. 🤩😍

I have never heard a bad one from them, covers or originals. I love the tone and timbres of their voices each one.

You just heard, when a man loves a woman, at the best its ever been sung. No one and I mean no one will ever make it sound this good. You just heard the best of this song that will never be done better. Perfect , that's the word perfectly done. He did not climb the stairs, He took the elevator. Beautiful that ya'll for doing a reaction to this song. Love ya'll

You must try their cover of Dire Straits “Brothers In Arms” they do an outstanding version of it.

Actually, Austin (that sang this song) used to always do the leads. Rob does a lot of leads now as does Chance and Tim. An extremely talented group with all great singers and an extremely good beatboxer, Adam.

The pure God given talent in this group is amazing!

The masterful and legendary singer-songwriter, Percy Sledge, sat down at his piano and wrote this...around 1965.....soulful....

Asia, I loved the smile you got on your face when Austin started singing 😊❤

Asia is grinning from the first note Austin hit, and you, sweet BJ, are nodding your head, because...you know! 😉 Y'all are precious, and that's everything! LUV this, luv y'all, luv HOME FREE!!! ❤️

Austin has the VOICE - he is so damned good. I love it.

This is one my absolute favourites of Austin Brown…..Tim Foust (the Bass), had been after him to do the lead on this for a good while…his voice is Perfect for it…No Doubt ❤️🥰‼️🙃. His girlfriend, Amberly was in the studio while he was record…😋🥰…singing it to her …Lucky Lady ❤️😘‼️🙃. He’s classically trained in musical theatre….What a guy 👍😘😵‍💫‼️❤️ There are No Divas in this Group…..the lead Is determined by what voice is needed for it❤️‼️ That’s what’s so special about these guys ❤️😘‼️🙃

100% agreed on all points. Back in '66 this was the song( performed by Percy Sledge) we all wanted to be played at the end of a dance, because the last dance was usually the only one where you got to hold the girl and you could make your move to see her home. At this point I must state the The Swinging Sixties was a misnomer, because only the music swung herein the UK, the girls generally didn't! BJ was spot-on in saying it topped the original, In never thought it would be, but in fairness to Mr.Sledge, Home Free have five terrific voices to do it with, not just Mr. Sledge's! How good was it that his GF was here to inspire Tim to give it all he had?!! RIP Percy Sledge, I just Wiki'ed him-an interesting read, but sadly and he passed away in 2015.

I agree completely. They let the music, rather than ego, drive the choice of lead, and thus, they always pick the best person to sing it.

Another great cover is Austin, Tim and friends singing My Maria in Austin’s backyard. 👍🏻 Tim and Austin will surprise you with how they flipped it.

Home Free is my absolute favorite group! They never disappoint or fail! NEVER! AUSTIN BROWN killed this! It's my favorite version of this song originally done by Percy Sledge. Anxious to hear more of Home Free. I loved your reaction!

Asia, I love how you're listening to the intro and the second Austin starts singing, your face just changes to absolute bliss.

Saaanng it Austin. I got to see them live in 2019. Home Free is amazing.

Austin is their high tenor, Rob (one with glasses) is the lower tenor This is an epic rendition and the greatest difference is it's all vocals and you don't even miss the instruments because they are that good!

Austin Brown's most excellent. Listen to Unchained Melody. His voice is pure honey 💕

Percy Sledge has the best and original version. Now thats soul!

Shawn Stockman absolutely loves Austin's voice and said "The man can blow and it's effortless". High praise from a fellow singer. Home Free is who you listen to when you need a lift me upper or just a haven from this crazy world we are in right now! Oh yeah, LOVE BJ's reaction. You know he loves Asia just like this song's meaning.

Haven't heard this one. They did an excellent job with that.

I saw Percy Sledge in a bar in Augusta, Ga. sing this ( in the 70’s). Lordy it was great. This is just as great if not better. They are definitely at the very top of their profession. So much talent.

Love your guys reaction...Asia's eyes light up when she hears exceptional arrangements...BJ shaking his head in agreement to the lyrics is great. Keep it up

This is now my favorite version of this song. They all sing lead depending on the song.

Asia's got that dreamy, "catching feelings" smile ☺️

I never thought anyone could touch the version by Percy Sledge, but I am always left breathless when I hear Austin belt this out. Great choice. Fantastic reaction 🌺✌️

When this was first released, I listened to it three times in a row, just totally captivated. They are always amazing, and Austin is my favorite and with this song...damn, he put all his heart and soul into it.

That rasp and the effortless high notes remind me of 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling' by The Righteous Brothers.

This is a master piece!!! Austin..one badazz singer! This by far my favorite of theirs!!

I saw Percy Sledge do this in a club in the early 70's. This is by far the best I have seen since then. Love BJ's reaction.

Can’t enough of Austin singing!🥰🎶

That look in Asia's eyes when Austin hits those notes!

It gave me some groovy goosebumps!!! 👍👍👍

They are so freaking amazing!!! Thank you for this reaction! Please dive into more Home Free. You won't be disappointed!

😂 Seriously, what more do you need in your love-makin’ playlist? Whoa! Austin with Home Free backup is all you need. Melt-ing!!! 😄❤️❤️❤️

I'm not sure how much Home free you have heard , but besides Austin Brown who sang lead on this one , the bass man Tim Foust , has a five octave range to his voice . He can sing so low that he has blown headphones and subwoofers .

Austin is so amazing….I can listen to him all day long….they are so real themselves and don’t have a bit of pretentious crap in anything they sing. Love your reaction….No pretense in those either ♥️

I get chill every time I hear them sing this!

Love Home Free so much! Y’all are great reactors!

Thank you for your reaction. Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

Austin was actually singing to his gal Amberly while he was singing... when Home Free does a cover, they end up owning the song.

The look on Asia’s face when the main guy comes in… that’s called talent lmao

Stunning rendition ~ HOME FREE 🎶❤️

Their cover called "Helplessly Hoping" is a must! Please react to that one. They always have killer harmonies. Austin's vocals cuts right through cheddar cheese like butter.

One of the great things about the Home Free men is how they're not afraid to showcase each other. Everyone is a lead, and everyone is chorus. And they're all so damned awesome... Gotta warn folks to bolt down their chairs on this on though, 'cause Austin sings you right out of them.

Home Free, and Pentatonix, take a cappella to a new level. Astonishing talent. When you are in the mood for a fun song check out Home Free's cover of Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone". I hear Blake thought it was great...which it is.

That first line... when Mrs. Asia's smile lights up... just as priceless as the song! 😏😎 Y'all are killing these reactions!!! If ya ever get a chance... please consider doing Courtney Hadwins cover of Old Town Road!!! Or sign of the times, someone you loved, sucker... or her AGT Golden buzzer tune! Or her original on AGT Championship... Pretty Little Things! Wishing yall a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Brutal vocals! Great reaction, guys.

Never heard of this group but they did this song Justice 💯

This is so good isn’t it?!! Austin (lead) and Adam (beatboxer) killed it. This was done during Covid so I thought the tv’s were clever. Good reaction Asia and BJ. Mary Did You Know, Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping to hear more great harmonies from them.

Sing Austin SING!! Outstanding! Love that little smile Asia gets when vocals are amazing! 😉

Percy Sledge would be proud of Austin's performance.

Soul has no color, would like to hear them sing the mama's and the papa's.

Asia's heart melted from the jump 😂 Great reaction guys do more home free they're awesome 👍

Lord Have Mercy. They had their way with this song!!

I'm so glad you finally reacted to this one! It's my favorite Austin song! Love your reactions!

Outstanding harmonies and sound effects. It's just amazing.

Percy Sledge DID THIS SOULFUL TUNE JUSTICE as a high tenor himself .... and with all due respect to that man FROM MY UPBRINGING ..... Austin Brown takes it up to NEXT LEVEL !

BJ was thinking of Michael Bolton. This song was a cover of HIS version of this song.

Awesome reaction, you guys were smilin' the entire song!!!!

This is a beautiful rendition. Love this! I really like you two together. Thank you!

If you liked Austin's lead in this, try their cover of Patsy Cline's "Crazy." It's a throwback done in the original key. Thanks for your reaction

Excellent suggestion. I think I need to go watch that one again RIGHT NOW. :-)

I'm yet to see a reaction video to this video where the reactor/s don't fall in love with Austin and his voice. He truly is embodying soul deep love. His lovely girlfriend Amberly is standing right there and he's so focused on his feelings for her and it shows in everything. I recommend listening to it again with your focus on the harmonies because the whole arrangement and structure is incredibly, not just Austin's vocals. The harmonies are supported by the beats and the bass below, and they support the soaring melody on top. Simply stunning. Everyone but the beatboxer sing lead in this band, so they don't have one singel front person like traditional bands and groups do. These guys simply choose whoever sings it in the most satisfying way, or who's voice fits the best, for the lead. You should check out Cover Me Up to here Chance's voice. His smooth baritone is like silk. Stay until the end for a sweet and real life moment out of his life. 😍 Thanks for the reaction! 🥰🙏

Austin sure nailed this song. The whole group is talented.

gotta do 'how great thou art', 'love train', 'go rest high on the mountain', 'mayday', 'butts remix', all really good stuff....and if you want more Austin only (the singer here) - go watch Austin Brown do Etta James 'At Last' in key....phenomenal...

Austin's fiancé was sitting in teh studio with Austin and he was singing to her. SO, that added a little extra soul to his performance. I also imagine Percy Sledge looking down from heaven saying, "Well damn, this boy can SANG and he's doing my song justice".

Home Free is the total package......they are all great vocalist....even Adam Rupp the beat boxer has a great voice.

Damn y'all we have been waiting too long for this reaction lol well I have especially much love and respect to you both

❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 Home Free is amazing 👏

If you haven't.....Home Free, Lee Greenwood and the Singing Sargent's remake of God Bless the USA. Fire collaboration! Better than the original.

Guys, y'all should watch their original DREAMER with their friends. Texas Hill....it will you away. We some of Gospel Roib (glasses & beard), make sure to chose the version that is LIVE at the Ryam Auditorium in Nashville....it's SUPER special

Also Tim Foust the bass has new release of The Shirelles "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"he hits some high notes that really floored me I've never seen him pitch so high

Cool to see you guys listen to this tune. And it's always cool to see a song I'm familiar with (I even suggested this one in another video) and to see what others think of it. Sharing music, as it were. It's like we're all sitting around the stereo, sharing and playing tracks for one another: "Hey have you head this one?" or, "That guitar solo was killer," or "I didn't know you liked that type of music." Sharing tunes, having fun. Keep up the good work.

Oh my goodness I'm so proud you guys did this one . I love it. Great reaction

Yesssssss been waiting for this one for a minute haha I'm so glad y'all did it cause I couldn't click on the video fast enough!! It's truly a favorite of mine!!

Austin also has originals both with Home Free ("Love Me Like That", "California Country') and on his own channel ("If I Met You Now", "Real Talk" and "Off the Grid"). Both he and Tim Foust (bass) are song writers and both play piano. Curiously for an acapella band, the can all play instruments. Keep falling down the rabbit hole - it's a great trip! Love from Canada.

P.S. - Another reactor called him "Mr. Steal-your-girl" (LOL).

my first time hearing this by Home Free. Great reaction too

You're thinking Rob (beard and glasses) is usually the lead. No, not really. There is no real "lead". It depends on the song and who they think sound best in that position. They can change the "lead" mid song too. Just like Tim sings bass and Adams does the beatboxing. But not 100% of the time; depends on the song. Wait until you've reacted to several more of their songs before turning to Mayday. How about Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and its sequel Full of Cheer, both written by Tim. And their latest collaboration Dreamer with Texas Hill. Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix. Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys. Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers.

Fun Fact: His lady was positioned in front of that side camera. He sang directly to her. It's why he looked so authentic from that angle

Austin has his own channel, its well worth having a listen to. Tim has also been giving us some wonderful songs from his album Pieces of Me, you'll be surprised

Listening to Austin Ms. America has the most gorgeous smile you could ever imagine. WOW!

Asia's smile at the start!

In the early days of Home Free, they did a cover of O Holy Night, with Tim Foust the bass taking the first half on the lead in Austin Brown doing the second half, if you want more of Austins high range, it's a must see.

I like the "I don't what key or pitch..." Answer: the right one. 🙂.

They just released a live performance from the Ryman doing "Dreamer" with Texas Hill. Enjoy

I couldn’t download this song fast enough!!! Loved your reaction. It was just like mine.

This and American Pie - sung with Don McLean himself - are two of my favorites from last year.

I love this song and y’all’s reaction. They are good!

Enjoy the Home Free road.....looking forward to the ride. Home Fries LOVE reactions to their guy's...subbed 💚💙

Tim and Austin from Home Free have their own channels and are dropping music left and right. Home Free is at the top of their game.

As a amateur singer myself, do people realize how hard it is to hit the notes tha Austin hit with easy?! True talent 👏

Awesome reaction! And thank you for commenting on Austin's super high notes as the song was fading out near the end. Many reactors start talking over that part and who knows if they EVER hear it!

Another great singer that can hit those high notes is Robert John from the 70s and 80s. One of my favorite of his is Sad Eyes. Please 🙏 ✔️ it out.

lol I was just sitting back watching Asia Melt from the first notes....lol. Who could blame her. Dudes got some pipes!
