I love not only the bass playing, but also the bass sound on this track. Very prominent within the mix, but not to the point that it drowns everything else in the song. And so funky!
You're right, one of the most underrated bass-players. I'm 67 now. Know them since 1967. Also love his bass-lines on 'I've Gotta Get A Message To You' or 'The Change Is Made'. Beside his parts of singing, Mo was a multiinstrumentalist. All sorts of guitars and keyboards, including moog-synthesizer. Also created sound-effects just like the stomp on 'You Win Again', which he's done in his garage. Unbelievable but true.
There could be an argument that he was the most talented Gibb brother when you look at the overall contribution he was able to provide. But again........Mo was a BEAST on the bass. LAYING. IT. DOWN. WITH. FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mo tickling that bass on this track is beyond amazing - as are the harmonies by these three Musical Geniuses... 💖💖💖 The fact that the brothers were self-taught (and, each one mastering several instruments...), yet, none of them having any musical training, not knowing how to read musical notes, nor having the knowledge of what a musical scale was... proves how extremely talented this trio truly was.
That's one of the greatest aspects of music is that one can become super talented through exploration and practice. the Gibb brothers are prime examples of this.
Maurice was such a good bass player! Seeing this video the first time was the reason I bought the Rickenbacker 4001 that's in my photo...just because MO had one!
❤️ ********IF THERE IS MUSIC IN HEAVEN, IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THE BEE GEE'S******** ❤️ They span over 50 years & cross many genres, I hope you continue to discover the Bee Gee's, you will not be disappointed!! Love your reaction & knowledge of who your are reacting too!!!
Thank you soo much! I've always enjoyed the Bee Gees and the music. They've inspired some of my own compositions throughout the years. I plan to continue sharing my thoughts about some of my favorite Bee Gees songs!
Great video, I'd to mention what a great piano player Maurice was, he came with a piano sound in the 60's that was unique to him by using a recording technique developed by Maurice himself that no one was able to replicate, listen to I've gotta get a message to you"" original recording, that's Maurice on both bass and piano, he was only 18 or 17 at the time, a true genius.
Yeah I remember towards their later years Mo was mostly behind the piano. It's amazing the versatility he possessed while in a lot of ways being "3rd" brother behind Barry and Robin. I plan to show him more love in future videos!
The bass line is phenomenal on this song! The Mr. Natural album should have received much more recognition. I love all their albums from the 60's through 2003.
This was considered their comeback song after moving to Miami from the UK. I hear this song played almost daily, on radio and stores. Once again I am so impressed with your knowledge of the song's origin. Their song "How Deep is your Love" is a great harmonizing delight also.
I would define Jive Talkin' as the official come back song. When the song was released as a single, the record company purposely left their name off the label so radio jocks would give it an objective listen. Once the jocks fell in love with the song, it was revealed to be the Bee Gees and the meteoric raise began!! I actually plan to record my video on How Deep is Your Love this weekend. I'm excited to share my thoughts on this song!!
yes, the same trick that Robert Stigwood used for the release of "New York Mining Disaster". DJ's assumed it was the Beatles under a different name. It became a hit in the US. Nobody denied it was the Beatles until finally John Lennon spoke up and said so. Robin Gibb stated this on a 1978 interview with Merv Griffin.
you must have to react to their biggest monster banger "You Should Be Dancing" , because Maurice bass line in this track, sets a new amazing standard for studio production in the forthcoming fourty years. Brilliant described in the with 6 emmy nomination, awared Bee Gees documentary "How You Can mend a Broken heart" from Hollywood legend Frank Marshall ❤️🤩
I am actually recording that video this weekend. MO IS KILLING IT ON THE BASS🔥🔥🔥 and I can't help but get up in dance every time I hear it. I really enjoyed their HBO Documentary and the focus on their 70's heyday.
@@JelaniStokes yes the only track who was played also in the legendary soul train and here it is 😉: ruclips.net/video/c9u4Su0J4Zg/видео.html or here the quintessence the isolated monster bass line 🔥 ruclips.net/video/If-ZC-L7kGg/видео.html - fire bro 💪
thanks to this song we have jow the Billboard Top 100 Dance Charts, with this first #1 for seven week in 1976 - Nile Rodgers huge influenced by the Brothers Gibb with his Pre "The Chic" Dudes performed this black RnB masterpiece in a TV Show ruclips.net/video/YJhyd4fJtas/видео.html 🔥🔥 i adore your reaction videos 👍 or you choose the breathetaking live performance with Barrys monster falsetto ruclips.net/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/видео.html - the epic standard 🍾
Do you have the ability to isolate the vocals for their songs. If not, their biggest hits are available online. You can clearly hear that some of the horns on You Should Be Dancing are actually vocals. The deep sucking breaths, and in one song you can hear Barry give the direction to his brothers, “soft.” Pretty neat.
Thank you for reaching to Jive Talking! The Bee Gees are indeed totally underrated singer songwriters. Thank you for mentioning Maurice Gibb being a great Bass Player. He gets overlooked too often. I am so happy I came across your channel. I really appreciate your knowledge of how the group evolved. If you could please react to Fanny Be Tender With My Love. Quincy Jones said it was his favorite R and B song. It was their mom’s favorite song too ! Keep of the great work!
I appreciate the information and musical sensibilities that you bring to your reactions! The Bee Gees deserve no better as they are consummate musical artists-- A R T I S T S, Thank you, Jelani! Subscribing and getting notifications. BTW-- Main Course is the first album I bought as vinyl LP, CD, and MP3. I never want to be without the correct format LOL!! I love "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" best of all.
Fanny is a great track with some fascinating instrumentation! I already have it on my list of future videos and I'm really looking forward to breaking it down. Thank you for your kind words!! 😁😁
What I like about Barry Gibb's vocal is that it makes the song sound oddly intimate. Given that the song's about calling a former lover out for her deceptive ways, I don't feel he could have done it any other way.
Excellent break down. I was looking for some bass lines for my shave videos and realized Jive Talking. I never knew as much. Growing up in the 70's we always hit our spots but I really should pick up the bass guitar again..great video I'm subbing..
If this not funky, smooth & flowing I don't what is. These boys had the gifts. Edit: Ok bruh I see you are newish at least by your sub count. I must say your history lesson and story tellin were on point and you taught me a Bee Gees fan something. That may be your niche, what sets you apart from most others. Just a thought but I believe you could do well focusing on that aspect. Good job
It's nice to hear a young person have so much knowledge of the Bee Gees. Most of those your age have never heard of them.
Maurice was incredibly talented. He’s the one that brought it all together with all the spots he filled. Such a talented group and family.
Yes, I am just recently realizing that.
Maurice was a fantastic instrument player.Bass,piano,etc.
I loved Maurice. With his funky bass and he could sing anything. But he never looked for the spotlight.
Fantastic reaction from someone who actually knows what they are talking about!
Thank you soo much for your kind words! It's a joy to share my love of music with everyone.
I love not only the bass playing, but also the bass sound on this track. Very prominent within the mix, but not to the point that it drowns everything else in the song. And so funky!
Absolutely! and the Moog Bass dubbed on top just gives it another flavor. Truly 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!
@@JelaniStokesthat Mini Moog is straight nasty🔥🔥🔥
The bass line is SICK
I agree 💯💯💯!

Yes MO! I always have to have "MO" bass when I'm listening to the brothers Gibb!

Thank you 👍
Oh It is TRULY my pleasure! Thank you for your kind words!!
They wrote everything they sang.
The bass line is phenomenal on this song! The Mr. Natural album should have received much more recognition.
I love all their albums from the 60's through 2003.
I agree! Mr. Natural did provide a blueprint to the style the brothers would refine years later.

@@dp3396 Yeah I love hearing discoving hidden sounds in tracks. Especially audio that wasn't supposed to be there 😅
Thank you for this. I learned a lot bout a band I've enjoyed all my life nearly. Great reaction. It IS hard to sit still while this is jamming.
Maurice was awesome
Love the Bee Gees. Love Main Course it's remarkable. Jive talking brought them back to the fans for sure. Great reaction!!
YES! The brothers struck a nerve with Jive Talkin'! Such a great song!!🔥🔥🔥

Keep of the great work!
I can see why Quincy Loved it because it's a fantastic song with beautiful harmonies. Just another example of their talent as songwriters!
The beat of this song Barry got from the sound of riding in a car over bridges in Florida. Click click click.
I always LOVE THAT STORY!!
Awww. I just heard your end story. I absolutely love your stories at the end. I've read everything and anything about them!!
I am just recently realizing what a great bass player Maurice Gibb was. It really is to bad that he wanted to change instruments after he got sober.
I found your Channel looking for Bee Gees reactions!
Well I hope you found something good!! 💯😁😁
@@JelaniStokes I liked how you did the review
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the review!! 😁

GENIUSES..luv them always🥰..no one comes close to them, n their brotherly harmonies...(perfection)
They've had YEARS to perfect them. I think that gives them a clear advantage over other bands!
great analysis of this masterpiece; thanks
What I like about Barry Gibb's vocal is that it makes the song sound oddly intimate. Given that the song's about calling a former lover out for her deceptive ways, I don't feel he could have done it any other way.
Yes! They airy quality to the vocal does give the listener a sense of intimacy and closeness.
Loved your review! You did a great job of adding to the video. I love to know the background of songs!
How many songs could include the line, "Leave me looking like a dumbstruck fool" and not seem like something that just fit.
That's why they were masters at their craft!
Excellent break down. I was looking for some bass lines for my shave videos and realized Jive Talking. I never knew as much. Growing up in the 70's we always hit our spots but I really should pick up the bass guitar again..great video I'm subbing..
You can never go wrong with a Bass Guitar in your hands! Cause then, you have ALL THE POWER!!!
Another great analysis young man.
👏👏👌

Yes! And I'm so glad they decided to share it with the world!
I truly appreciate those kind words! Thank you very much!
However the bass on this is a Mini Moog, not a guitar.
It was actually an overdub of bass and moog bass to create that unique sound.
@@JelaniStokes Perhaps so on the recording. However I saw them play this live (I'm quite old haha) and it was played on just a Moog.
@@baronmeduse Now that had to have been an awesome sight to go with that monster of a sound!
Can’t sit still, right?
Not with that song playin. It's straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!
Maurice isn't playing bass here...The bassline is being held down by the minimoog synthesizer
The synth is an ARP 2600 played by Blue Weaver,
@@bangaloremusic Dig it.. Mini-Moogs rival..
His name was Morris, not Mourice.
Steve Miller Band "The Joker" if you haven't check it out already.
Thanks for the suggestion! I just added it to the list!
