Great group along with Ambrosia, Firefall, Player, Orleans, Little River Band and so on

Great southern rock band from the 70's. They had some great songs such as "Imaginary Lover", "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", "So Into You", "Large Time" (tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd), "Do It Or Die" & "Spooky".

Yes, it was a good time. Guys weren't afraid to say how much they loved their woman.

I love these sexy, hypnotic songs. "Imaginary Lover" is another one you guys might like.

They will definitely love it!👍

"They just don't make 'em like this anymore." As a 63-year-old guy, you're living in my world. God bless.

Shawn, you are SO RIGHT, they just can't make music like this anymore. what a shame !

This was a #1 on both R&B and Pop charts. Pretty sweet.

Growing up this song was the coolest, driving with the windows down DAM! memories...you also have to try - Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter #23 same downbeat they both came out in 1977

Yes! Strawberry Letter 23 will be my jam until I leave this earth. I was just listening in the car with the windows down yesterday!

I come here for the music...I stay for the love. These songs that allow us to see the love between you two is really beautiful. Please remember to show your love and appreciation for each other often.

Imaginary Lover by them is 🔥

I always liked their music. Good vocals and harmonies. They had some great songs.

I grew up in the 70s to incredible music like this. Probably the sexiest song ever. If you want the mood at the right time, you play THIS!

As a 70's child I can say we loved, laughed, cried, fought deeply about everything we did, with all we had and it came out in the music of the day.. Love it what we chased everyday...

Loved this and danced with the man who would be my husband! I was 14 and he was 20! NO LOL MINDS IN GUTTER! BUT THIS FELT GOOD AND STILL DOES ONLY I DANCE ALONE AS HE WENT ON HOME AND IS WAITING !! THANKS GUYS!! I AM 65!!

Hey guys, love this reaction. Had my first date with my future wife (44 yrs together, 40 years married) on New Year’s Eve, 1977/78 at an Atlanta Rhythm Section concert. Still going strong, y’all!,

I saw them in Palm Beach for their New Years Eve Champagne Jam, with The Guess Who opening. That was great fun~ They also played my Grad Night at Disney World.

Such an underrated group with all their epic tracks. I've seen them live 6 of 7 times since 1972. Some early bangers are Champaign Jam, I'm not Gonna Let It Bother me Tonight, Spooky and Imaginary Lover...

wow, this brings back some great memories of days past.

This was a jamming song. Other great songs from them " spooky"" imaginary lover" I'm not going to let it bother me tonight" also Check out the group " Exile" kiss you all over.

Once again, there's nothing like the 70s. I've always wondered who was the group but at the sametime I heard this song alot. Definitely rock/soul combination 👍🏾✊🏾

Yes, definitely. I was a kid when this came out. I heard this song on Rock radio. Strangely, lived around the corner from a Black radio station. I asked a DJ if they had this song. He initially said no, but they actually did. The label sent it in a plain white sleeve and white label. I told him to check it out and play it. He did, and locally it became very popular on Black radio. The same would happen with Pablo Cruise "Whatcha Gonna Do?" Great music knows no boundaries!!

A little wine, weed, and this music..I love the 70s!

"Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" by ARS should be your next one. Just as relevant today as it was in 1978.

That's an oldie and a goodie. Haven't heard that on in a long time. Thank you!

You would both love ' Spooky ' ❤

Love ARS!! I have this album on 8 Track I think lol!!

This one is fire! Good choice guys!

That was beautiful guys. I have heard that song million times on the radio when I was younger. But listening to it now, slowing it down a little and paying attention to the lyrics has really helped me to appreciate this song even more. Wow, that took me to another world for a minute. :)

Ahh another great group from my long ago.. love it!

I'm from Macon, GA, and I saw them many, many times. The lead singer, Ronnie Hammond, married one of my friends. "Imaginary Lover" {never lets you down} is one of their greatest.

I love this song. I never actually saw who sang it. Wow they’re soooo groovy and soulful!! 👌🏼

First heard this about 43 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 SMOOTH SOUTHERN AMERICAN BLUES, one of my favourite songs.

Mel I swear to God we are music twins!!. I love how you catch and appreciate the "little" things. Much Love to the both of you... My favorite reactors hands down!

I forgot this song even existed, great choice, ahead of the competition on this one.

Love, love Atlanta Rhythm Section! I Am Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight is a great song. You will love it

Imaginary Lover is another great song by The Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Funny that you played this , this is the CD in my car right now ! You guys are the best channel of all the reactors ! Love you

ARS has some great songs. Their cover of "Spooky" (Classics IV) is fantastic. "Imaginary Lover" and "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" are also fire.

Some of the Atlanta Rhythm Section were in the Classics IV, so I think of their version of "Spooky" as a "semi-cover".

Being born, raised and still living in Georgia, we’re proud of our Georgia boys. Love me some ARS. Ronnie Hammond’s voice was SO awesome. R. I. P. Ronnie.

I was there for for one of their first gigs. I was working in a club in Atlanta and they needed to polish the act in front of folks. It was awesome.

I remember this song. Driving to this on my fm/ am 65 chevy station wagon radio. Lololol🏝😂

Thank you for reminding me of this song!

Living in Atlanta, we used to listen to these guys practice in a little town called Doraville. They have a song about it by the same name.

Another great hit from them is Imaginary Lover

This is an awesome song. I like their rendition of Spooky as well.

Love ARS. Great 70s music

A Great Southern Rock/R & B band who are the most underrated group in music history. Definitely one of my favorite bands. This was a treat watching you guys react to this song.

This song was THE slow jam at high school dances in the mid-late 70s!...ARS has a string of bangers and slow jams: "Stormy (as Classics IV)" "Spooky (as Classics IV and ARS)" "Imaginary Lover" "Champagne Jam" "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" "Do It Or Die" "Alien"

This song brings back so many memories growing up in the 70s I love Atlanta Rythm Section, still listening today. Love the music yall react to., so glad I found you guys🎧🎸🙂

YES YES YES. I have been requesting this song for a year now with the reactors I follow and finally its gets played. Such a great vibe. My all time favorite. Thank you guys so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it too. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love ARS!! So many great songs!! Try: "Imaginary Lover, I'm Not Going To Let It Bother Me tonight, Do It Or Die, Spooky, and Champagne Jam."

Always loved ARS. This was one of my favorites. Great classic song.

Can’t go wrong with ARS. So smooth and easy to listen to. Spooky is my favorite by this group.

Atlanta Rhythm Section awesome band.great reaction guys might like-[A.R.S-spooky-georgia rhythm-Imaginary lover-champagne jam]-[aerosmith-walkin' the dog-train kept rollin']

Ronnie Hammond was a great singer. Macon, Georgia has produced some great musicians. This song is 🔥!! Love that such songs are part of the soundtrack of my life.

ARS, Mose Jones, Mothers Finest, Dixie Dregs, very underrated bands

Oh the memories, high school, mad crush on a certain guy, dancing in my room at night while hugging my pillow to this song, imagining fevered teenage hormone things going on with this fantasy guy and me...ha!! He never knew I existed, sigh, but strangely it's still a great memory cause Lord, what a good song.

One of my favorite songs back in the 70’s 🤠♥️👍

Yes yes yes! Great one from the 70’s!!! ❤️ Imaginary Lover next 😊 By the way, THIS is how you get a girl; not with what the music industry puts out today.

They do the best version of Spooky I've EVER heard! That's another one to listen after the kids hit the rack! :)

Yes finally, I’ve been requesting this band and song for awhile ❤️ love as always from Colorado

Didnt want that to end! Don't pause, just go straight into Atlanta Rhthym Sections song Spooky.

This is such a great sounding song and we all loved it then and still love it. they sound so great and love the words

Yes to Brothers Johnson, Strawberry Letter 23. Such smooth vibes

1972 was a very great year. ✌🤘💞💞 So into you was the song the boys were singing to the girls in the smoke section of the school yard. Yes we were allowed to smoke at school.

Gotta love a little ARS! Imaginary Lover, Champagne Jam, I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight, Large Time, Spooky. ARS has many great tunes.

Lo❤️ve this song!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the memories kids. Spooky by them is great. R.I.P. Ronnie Hammond-Singer. Paul Goddard-Bass. God Bless.

Thanx for this. I’d forgotten how good this is !

Spooky! For sure please

It's about damn time someone did ARS!!!! F i n a l l y! Champagne Jam Spooky Imaginary Lover ...and a few more I can't remember at the moment...

Champagne Jam is an ARS classic. It's got a great groove that I guarantee you'll both dig.

Aw yes! This is me and my guys song from when we met 26 years ago! It was immediate! Played it over and over- love the song AND the lyrics fit us PERFECTLY!!! And it was on baby!! Another great by them is “Imaginary Lover!”

Another Southern favorite ❤️🔥

Awesome reaction guys i love this song.

One of my favorites, they played that song sooooooo much in the 70s on the radio

This is one of my most favorite songs EVER! The vibes are so seductive.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yeah...This was playing on the radio during my childhood! Always amazing vibes. When people still knew how to write songs!

True, they just don't make 'em like this anymore, thank goodness they made 'em like this then! For some perspective on the craziness of today's headlines, I often find myself listening to their 1972 hit I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight, and keep trusting the future.😆 ✌&💞

U 2 are soo in love it just oooz es all over

This song always gives me goose bumps,it was written by Robert Nix(the drummer for ARS)about Leslie Hawkins.She was one of the Honkettes,a trio of women who sang for Lynyrd Skynyrd.Nix saw her for the first time just as the song describes and instantly fell in love with Hawkins,who was stunningly beautiful and remains so till this day,well into her 70's.

I send my love to you two love birds and since I found you I check your channel every day trying to catch up. I love you both 🙏✌️😎🎶💯 And for Mel 🌹🙏

One of my favorite concerts was ARS with Wet Willie. Saw them together in 1979. They both put on a helluva show. ARS stretched their songs out live, making for some killer jams. "Neon Nights" and "Another Man's Woman" are a couple of my favorites.

Great song, thanks for the flashback.

This is one of my summer songs. I like playing this while working in the yard and garden.

A really cool 70's sound

No sir they sure don't ! So blessed to grow up with this music as a kid ,60 years old and still jammin this music ❤

I loved them so. Most of the originals have passed..will always be the best!

Damn I forgot about this song, sounds so good to hear this again. Thank you

Aw he wants to sing it to her SO SWEET!

At 59 I feel so lucky to have heard this stuff when it was new! Saw these guys in a small college auditorium in 1977. You can only imagine!

One of my favorites! Atlanta Rythym Section has a few more worth checking ! Great love making song! And yes you should sing this to Mel!

Huge hit and one of the most memorable vibe of that era!You should also check out 2 versions of Spooky which they do one and also they do another under their original band named Classic Four!

You two are the best! Love this reaction. And I too, appreciate good, lovely people! So I subscribed!

I really, really ,miss this stuff❣️

Loving the music 🎶

One of the best! They had an original sound.

Keep it up with these great tunes from my younger years! Makes me feel refreshed when you play these goodies🎶🤙👍

You guys are cool as HECK for reacting to this. I follow a few reaction accounts and you guys always seem to listen to your viewers and not follow what other reactors are reacting to. Thanks so much for this! You should definitely do Spooky by Atlanta Rhythm Section 🥰

Great memories!

I absolutely love this song!!!
