London had so many artist in the80's that sang soulfully.They embraced many of the RnB acts from America.Boy George was and still is an incredible singer.
Boy George (George O’Dowd) was a new romantic fashionista in the early 80’s and worked in the cloakroom of The Blitz Club in Covent Garden, London whick was frequented by David Bowie and Duran Duran. He was discovered by Malcolm McLaren who managed The Sex Pistols.
The entire "Colour By Numbers" album (1983) is one of the greatest pop albums of all time and is a blueprint on how to make a perfect Pop album. it had Pop, R&B, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Classical, Tropical, Reggae, Gospel, etc. It was Culture Club's "Thriller" which ironically was out at the same time.
I’m a huge fan of Culture Club! They were big in the eighties! This is one of my favorite songs by them! It’s such a true message! Boy George had a great voice and was always outspoken and very popular in the MTV era!!❤️❤️
A great Boy George solo song is "The Crying Game", also Ti Na Na suggested The Blow Monkeys "Digging Your Scene", another song by them is "You Don't Own Me".
You can definitely get a feel for Boy George's love of soul music in his one. It was all about UK and Aussie music for me in the 80's and culture club were right up there with the best.😀👍🎶❤️
Boy George had such a beautiful voice. If you get chance check out Black Money, Mistake #3, Only Trying to Help You and any other Culture Club tune. They won't disappoint.
My favorite line of this 1982 song: "Time makes lovers feel like they got something real, but you and me we know they got nothing but time." My favorite Culture Club song is "Miss Me Blind" from 1984.
This is a Classic!!! Luv me some Boy George ,& culture club. Karma Chameleon Church Of The Poison Mind I'll Tumble For Ya Jammed 2 these as a teenager & still do 💜
You are not corny? What you are is brilliant! Your reactions are always spot on Jovaughn. Boy George is an amazing singer. Culture Club is a great band. My personal favorite besides this song is “Miss Me Blind” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”. Boy George recently stated on his Instagram account that a movie about him and Culture Club was in the works. Boy George stated he wouldn’t mind if a man or a woman portrayed him, which is quite interesting. I guess we will just have to wait and see as all we have is time! 😎
EXACTLY CORRECT! i had the 45 of church...when i was 13. well, i had the LPs too, but i wore that single out, but yes those three, but Its A Miracle before Tumble
Boy is so so handsome....as a little girl in te 80s I was mesmerised by him.... and his voice....this song is my favorite....it was all about the drummer and their relationship you know... Boy is one of the legends of the unforgetable 80s...
Oh yes! What a phenomenal song. Your choices are so broad. I love it. This song was a real classic from back in the day. Boy George has great talent. Great to hear this song again.
The War Song was another good thing from Culture Club. Especially the extended mixes where a fair chunk of the song gets repeated in Spanish, French, Japanese, and German. That was pretty cool, pretty relevant for the time, and pretty catchy too.
Please, Please Please MORE Culture Club! They (along with Duran Duran) were my favorite group back in the 80's. Church of the Poison Mind. Black Money. War Song. Victims. Love is Love. SO many more too! OMG
You ain't lyin'; that boy can definitely sing, SING HIS ASS OFF! I loooooove me some Culture Club/Boy George. 👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Always great to see a reaction for him! 👍👍👍 He has LOTS of great songs; "Mistake Number 3", "The Crying Game", "Church Of The Poison Mind", More Than Likely" w/P.M. Dawn, etc etc etc. His official music videos are always great.
There are many great songs by the group and Boy George as a solo artist. I love listening to him as I can understand what he is singing and that has always been important to me and his voice is wonderful and recognizable too. He seems so calm and I love the way he moves to the music too. The 80's were wonderful for music though I love the 70's and 90's as well. Your reactions were wonderful again sweetheart, its always great to hear your thoughts on music that I love and I agree with what you say. Good luck my friend God bless you all love and hugs to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
I've always, always Loved Boy George!. What a "voice"! I love his voice in "The War Song"!...Great reaction!..I agree, it like.. "We got nothing but Time, so let's make the Time!:)
You won't hear a song like this ever again. Boy George was truly a TALENT! Keep reacting to his material. If you feeling more experimental dig into his SOLO work like "You Found Another Guy" or "Don't Take My Mind on a Trip". Those are some amazing New Jack Swing tracks.
Hi Jay back in the early 80s I see Culture Club at the Hammersmith Odeon they performed a song called ( victims) absolutely fantastic give it go! keep up the good work❤️👍
You should listen to “Victims”, a wonderful ballad showing the band’s talent in a different genre, presenting one of the most beautiful piano and violin solos in pop music history. It will touch your heart, I guarantee…
We saw Boy George and Culture Club in concert at The Beacon Theater in NYC in 2015, they were still amazing, it was such a fun night going back to the 80's!
This was their follow up to Do You Really Want To Hurt Me. The Lady whose House they are hanging out in is Helen Terry who sang on Church Of The Poison Mind.
" church of the poison mind " was a big hit, also when he went solo, he did a fantastic version of " The Crying Game " ❤️
Oh yess 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
Also, It’s a Miracle!
Yessssss!,
Yesssss. "The Crying Game" was just moving and gorgeous
Yes. Church of the Poison Mind. Crying Game. Victims. It's a Miracle.
Another great Culture Club hit: Miss Me Blind
💖
A Crossover classic that reached the black audience in 1984. One of the biggest R&B and Pop hits of 1984
LOVE Miss Me Blind! ....they borrowed the melody from a whiskey commercial in Japan.
THIS
I love Miss Me Blind so much.
One of the greatest Culture Club and Boy George tracks ever made! It’s literally sooooooooo amazing!
I agree.
@@josephsmall4270 I completely forgot about this song. I've never even heard it replayed ... and you might be right.
Love is Love is also so good
Culture Club was huge. "Church of the Poison Mind" is a JAM. I love them.
It’s their best one
So soulful
London had so many artist in the80's that sang soulfully.They embraced many of the RnB acts from America.Boy George was and still is an incredible singer.
Very true
Every major city in UK has produced great bands.
@@telstar4772 I spoke from what I know.I wasnt meaning to exclude.And I was really speaking of singers not bands.
@@Kim-427 Fair point Kim, I should have said music rather than bands or singers
@@telstar4772 I got you.Iol
Beautiful song. For a few years in the 80’s Culture Club we’re releasing banger after banger.

Duran Duran worked & played at the Rum Runner in Birmingham.
Boy George is a great vocalist.Effortless.
One of my personal favorites is “It’s a Miracle” it’s a lot like this, simple lyrics but a haunting beat!! I’d totally check it out! :-)
Yes, that's a good one too!!
It's my favorite too!

A great Boy George solo song is "The Crying Game", also Ti Na Na suggested The Blow Monkeys "Digging Your Scene", another song by them is "You Don't Own Me".
Oooh I know digging your scene!! Never knew who sang it though.
By the way I'm 36 and I love all this music!!!
I can thank my mum for that.
Blow monkeys is an excellent choice . Fantastic song
probably their best song! Other songs you should check out: "Miss Me Blind", "Church of the Poison Mind", and George's solo hit "The Crying Game"
I love Miss Me Blind!!🥰🥰
You can definitely get a feel for Boy George's love of soul music in his one.
It was all about UK and Aussie music for me in the 80's and culture club were right up there with the best.😀👍🎶❤️
Must listen to his cover of "The Crying Game" it really shows his vocal talent. Beautiful song.
There is a long version to this song that is just beautiful! Always loved Boys unique style. I miss those MTV day's! ❤🍀
Me too!
🔥 Culture Club took the world by storm...their second album was even better! Enjoy your reaction.
George got quite a lot of respect from Jamaica back in his early days. He had that great Lover's Rock tone.
Boy George had such a beautiful voice. If you get chance check out Black Money, Mistake #3, Only Trying to Help You and any other Culture Club tune. They won't disappoint.
Always love someone who knows about Black Money....and Victims...
Definitely Black Money. It is my favorite track by Culture Club.
Boy George did a very nice version of ‘The Crying Game’.
Time won't give me time,and time makes lovers feel,like they've got something real,
but you and me,we know we've got,nothin' but time...
My favorite line of this 1982 song: "Time makes lovers feel like they got something real, but you and me we know they got nothing but time." My favorite Culture Club song is "Miss Me Blind" from 1984.
Great song....smooth and soulful. My favorite by them.
Such a unique voice, instantly recognisable (I’ve not heard this one of theirs before) TY 🌟
I’ve been waiting for you to react to this! This is one of my favourite songs ever ❤️
This is a Classic!!! Luv me some Boy George ,& culture club.
Karma Chameleon
Church Of The Poison Mind
I'll Tumble For Ya
Jammed 2 these as a teenager & still do 💜
Jayvee, nobody has done Victims...It's an incredible track...be the first.
Victims is Stunning!
@@jamesalexander5623 YEP!!
“Victims” is one of my favorite songs in pop music.
One of the best ballads ever. Along with Christina’s “The Voice Within”
This is my favorite Culture Club song. The winter of 1982 very cold winter in the US but such a warm song vocally and lyrically
Jon the drummer said in an interview the song "Victims" was his favorite. Do that one. Him and George had a relationship and George wrote it for him.
Victims is amazing
+1 for “Victims”
'Victim' is another gem by Culture Club - such as a gorgeous haunting song
My favorite CC song! Thx! Church of the Poison Mind is my recommendation for your next CC reaction.
That trench coat is killing me 😂😂😂 This is a throw back for real!
"Victims" is a great song these guys, probably shows how great his voice was

Such a great group. We didn’t know how to take Boy George but his music and talent was more. I like all of their music.
He definitely has a great voice! Always one of my FAVORITES!
Church Of The Poison Mind, Miss Me Blind and I'll Tumble For You should be next

I can also recommend "Victims" as it is another Heartfelt song!
I saw Culture Club in concert a few years ago. Still brilliant. What a voice. He’s still got it!😍
"Victims" is a beautiful song. Culture Club has a huge list to explore. "It's a Miracle", "I'll Tumble For Ya" and "War Song" are just a few.
Boy George and Culture Club had millions of fans worldwide back in the '80s and I was, am, and will be their fan Nr. 1! ♥♥♥
You make me smile with your reactions Jayvee!. This is actually my personal favorite that Boy George did.
Culture club , I miss the 80s !! They have a ton of songs!!
Of all of the songs I play on the guitar and sing, this is my favorite to perform.
The War Song was another good thing from Culture Club. Especially the extended mixes where a fair chunk of the song gets repeated in Spanish, French, Japanese, and German. That was pretty cool, pretty relevant for the time, and pretty catchy too.
Yess!! One of my favs!!! ❤️😎
Great culture club song. One of my favourites. 👍🎶
"Victims" is a great song from Culture Club!

Loved your reaction to this great song by Culture Club.
Please do “Victims” next time. IMO it’s their best track.
I've been a CC fan since the 80s. I remember when "Time" debuted in 1983 and blew the roof off the mutha!👍🏾🇬🇧🎙️🎵
One of the greatest and most complete pop songs ever put down . Hypnotic
I’ll tumble for you, gets a party stated love their music
his voice is so smooth and beautiful. He could sing about mufflers and I would listen.
Boy George and Culture Club was the shhhh it back in the day. And Wham with George Michael. The 80's was lit 🔥

They are the best in the 80's🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
This is their classiest track. Best of the lot.
I've always, always Loved Boy George!. What a "voice"! I love his voice in "The War Song"!...Great reaction!..I agree, it like.. "We got nothing but Time, so let's make the Time!:)
You won't hear a song like this ever again. Boy George was truly a TALENT! Keep reacting to his material. If you feeling more experimental dig into his SOLO work like "You Found Another Guy" or "Don't Take My Mind on a Trip". Those are some amazing New Jack Swing tracks.
This is a good one from them
This song is as awesome as when I first heard it when it came out in the 80s !! In my all time favourites play list .
As well as his voice he is off the charts intelligent. See some of his interviews.
I love Boy George had his posters on my walls in the 80s.
Never a big fan but THIS is one of my alltime favorite songs.
Hi Jay back in the early 80s I see Culture Club at the Hammersmith Odeon they performed a song called ( victims) absolutely fantastic give it go! keep up the good work❤️👍
Saw Boy George last week, performing in my home town and hes still got it
They did a Ballad called "Victims" Good song worth a listen.
You should listen to “Victims”, a wonderful ballad showing the band’s talent in a different genre, presenting one of the most beautiful piano and violin solos in pop music history. It will touch your heart, I guarantee…
Love CC. There were everything in the 80s
This is their best song! So glad you reacted to it. The bass and his voice make this a banger
I love the lyrics, especially how the lyrics kept using the word "time" in so many references and metaphors. It was so clever!
We saw Boy George and Culture Club in concert at The Beacon Theater in NYC in 2015, they were still amazing, it was such a fun night going back to the 80's!
Yes! I've been waiting for this one.
my favorite culture club song and its timeless. the long version showcases the bass even more and its tight
Love this song take me right back I always used to play this song👍❤
"Black Money" and "Don't Cry"...two great Boy George songs.
Culture Club were so much more revolutionary than we even realized 👏👏👍👍👍👍
More 80s UK, perhaps the best of the decade.
The woman who brings in the cake at the end sings background on this and many CC songs. Her name is Helen Terry.
Victims is my fave, George Michael also sang it live and it was amazing
This was their follow up to Do You Really Want To Hurt Me. The Lady whose House they are hanging out in is Helen Terry who sang on Church Of The Poison Mind.
You've got to listen to "Victims" Jayvee..
It's from another world!
My favorite from CultureClub.
Definelty CHURCH OF THE POISON MIND is a MUST Reaction for you Jayvee!
Whoa! I had forgotten this one! Thanks for the reminder and great reaction!
'Victims' is a great Culture Club song - a big, sweeping ballad. 'It's A Miracle' is also a lot of fun.
They were hugely popular here in Aus in the 80s, with quite a few top 10 hits. I love George's cover of The Crying Game as well, beautiful.
