they didn't know what auto-tune was back then. you either had it and could sing or you didn't have it and couldn't sing. Because there was no auto-tune.
You said that well... most singers back then sang to the women... not about them! And about the 5 minute mark... her panties dropped. Proving your point.
Agree with you, absolutely phenomenal. Their voices were not proccesed but the editing work was huge with more than 20 layers with their voices to create that incredible sound. One of the best ballads ever written.
@@josevi5835Yeah, there’s no way this couldn’t have some processing. Just too perfect. But nothing like what happens today. Auto-tuning is just so awful, and you can spot it a mile off. Total rubbish. Just learn to sing, goddammit. It’s your job.
As a person who’s grew up in these times all I have to say is that people who grew up during the late 60s to the early 80’s got to witness the best music that has ever been.

@@spudjohnsonn8122”Spirits Having Flown” was a complex record that could have only been made *because* they were a phenomenal studio band (and production team). It was meticulously layered and crafted. They were also amazing on stage. Both things can be - and are - true.

Barry Gibb according to the Guinness Book of World Records is the second most successful songwriter and producer in music history, 3rd in the Billboard Hot 100, had 5 songs in the top 10 at the same time in the Spring of “78” and 6th in record sales.

Not just “three guys”, THREE BROTHERS! Later to be joined by their youngest brother, Andy. Andy Gibb. He Joined his older brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice. All of their music was without equal!
This was lip sync'd here and at the UNICEF concert, it's identical to the album version. The album version was comped in the studio. There are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices. So no, it was not recorded live in one take, and it was heavily edited. But yes, there was no autotune. The most impressive part is how ridiculous their falsetto is, they're actually syncing their own falsetto between comps.
🤗👏Exactly,they know nothing and it's so sad😐I tell the younger generations the same thing, to go alone and explore those times. In my opinion, it's also the best music ever made.🤗You're absolutely right about it.
@ Yes I know but they didn’t get big till the late 60’s and then faded. They jumped in popularity during the Disco era in the mid-late 70’s. I’ve been a fan since the late 60’s. Nobody did harmonies like the Brothers Gibb.
This is back when music artists actually had real talent, and it wasn't just the studio making them sound good. Notice they are all singing into the same microphone, so there's no mixing going on in the background, they are actually performing these vocals, and harmonies this perfectly, which is what the BeeGees were known for!
I'm so glad that the young generation are listening to our love song and listen more........................................................................don't let old songs die down..love u all....
The reason it appears so perfect is that these men had been singing publicly together since childhood. They had already had decades of experience with each other when this was filmed.
Lilly, the thing is that during the 70's and 80' we were pretty much immersed and surrounded by this type of music and super talented performers, we were lucky! and, as an old timer, I love it that you love it! :)
At the time we didn't know how lucky we were with great new albums releasing every week. Now, with everything being auto tuned, we are lucky to get a decent album once a year.😢😢😢
If you are interested in one of the most beautiful female voices of all time, listen to "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. This was THE wedding song back in the day.
Johnny, yes Karen had an outstanding voice, no doubt, but I found someone with vocals I've NEVER heard before! I never thought the words, 'that good', would ever apply, but ANYTHING by Lucy Thomas is ALWAYS better than the original! Start with 'Hallelujah', by Lucy Thomas........live or studio.......pick one.......best version, EVER! Lucy is on another plane......
Why were 3 people sharing 1 microphone when obviously they could have easily each had their own? The answer hearkens back to the times of the early 50's and 60's when performers such as Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the BeeGees etc. were in the early days of their careers and had not yet achieved their later financial successes and fame. In those early years, each microphone represented a significant financial cost to them. To reduce the number of microphones that were needed, musicians would often pair up on one microphone particularly those musicians providing vocal harmonies (in some cases 3 voices would converge on 1 microphone - The 3 BeeGee brothers - Robyn, Maurice and Barry did do this quite often and are a perfect example of this ... particularly in the above video recording of a live performance in a charity benefit concert of them performing their song "Too Much Heaven" ... a masterful use of 1 microphone shared by 3 people and with stunning result!). But to use one microphone effectively in this way required practice, practice and more practice and discipline wherein the needed skill and coordination of the performers would gradually be acquired. The closeness or proximity of each performer to the single microphone would determine the needed dynamics of each voice, moment by moment, throughout the performance and in itself represented an act of choreography. It was a practice primarily from the 60's when musicians had a significantly lesser amount of capital available for the acquisition of musical equipment that was needed. But, it was an approach that actually worked very well and because of that, performers from that era, still employ it often as a preference and are not quick to abandon it. FYI.
Hello Lily, I’m a Headbanger like you but I grew up in the 80s so I got to live it… And about your age I started expanding my music which you’re gonna find out there’s so much out there. I was a DJ for 25 years in show clubs, where we only played rock ‘n’ roll… The one thing about the Bee Gees a lot of people do not know, that one time they were as big as the Beatles… When the Beatles began, you were either a Beatles fan or Bee Gees fan I don’t know much of old music, but I had a friend who taught me about them who was just as big as a BG fan as he was a Beatle fan… Just thought you’d like to know
Yes, Righteous Brothers, Bee Gees, and Hotel California (at 98 Hall of Fame Awards). There are a number of songs that you can name BEFORE THE first 8 bars are played. I was born in 1950 and had the distinct privilege and honor hearing all these songs and more over my lifetime. The Bee Gees STILL make me stop and that harmony is firm and strong enough (if electrically charged) to turn over a Semi Truck Engine. 🙂🙃😯💯❤💖👍
The Bee Gees were formed in 1958 and had many many hits in the 1960's, 70's & 80's. Sat Night Fever has many of their hits! Listen to "How Deep is your Love" and the harmony is superb!
Golden days ,unforgettable moments .never ever these will come back,happy to have listen those songs on tape and of course radio’s.good to appreciate anew,long live the Gibson bros
I disagree. The *REAL* talent is out there. It just gets buried, denied radioplay, or stolen by record executives & repackaged as cheap knockoffs sung by their phony handchosen few
I grew up listening to the Bee Gees back in the 70s and 80s, and you are right, music like that it's hard to come by these days. Love your reaction. ♥️
Now you understand why the Bee Gees were so big. Their voices were silky smooth magic. I was able to grow up on this music. Heavenly (pun intended) voices. Smooth instruments. Just pure talent.
I was born in 89 but I grew up on this stuff! 60’s and 70’s music is literally my safe place. Every song whether sad or beautiful is so genuine and pure talent!
DEFINED my teen years. And thank you for your great reaction. You are making the right comments - normal reaction is to ask, "What have we been missing? What has happened to music??" Good job.
I didn't appreciate the Bee Gees growing up, but now I can't get enough of them. Unbelievable talent. Please do reactions to more Bee Gees. * Stayin Alive, * Night Fever, * Love You Inside Out, * More Than a Woman... * How Deep Is Your Love There's so many more hits but this will you started.
You answered your own question. It was pure music. The orchestra, the voices, the music, everything. There were no computers fixing mistakes, it had to be done right and it had to be done well, and they knew it. Hence, perfection. As a side note, in those days a person needed talent and lots of it to make it. If that person happened to be attractive it was a bonus. Today, it seems the person must look good and be young, and talent is a nice bonus. Of course, maybe it just looks that way to me.

They sing falsetto perfectly and flawlessly. Love the Bee Gees and so happy that I grew up during the 1970s with beautiful music like this! I appreciate them so much more now. This song just makes you want to fall in love!
Greatest era of music mid to late 60's through the 70"s. Talent and innovation!!! No matter what you liked pop, rock, metal had all the all time greats.
These brothers were driven from an early age to be successful musicians. Add to that their innate singing and songwriting abilities and you get musical magic. They created so many hits, some performed by other artists, I am sure that many of them are somebody's favorite song. My personal favorite -- which also happens to be Barry's favorite -- is "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Simply sublime. You should give it a listen if you haven't done so, already.
Lilly Jane is obviously in her twenties. This song is from 1978. Have you heard all the great artists from twenty years before you were born? But she's making a point of listening to classic artists now, and I give her credit for that.
These 3 brothers used to sing together in their bedroom as youngsters and their mother thought they accidentally left the radio on!! She opened the door to turn the radio off and realized she was not listening to the radio!! The 3 are savants born with perfect pitch!! They are an amazing gift to music! When they recorded a track they did it in one take! RIP Robin and Maurice we love and miss you!🫶
It's hard to believe that the oldest of the 4 brothers (Andy was the youngest who had his own career) is the only one still alive. Andy passed away in 1988, Maurice in 2003 and Robin in 2012.
No editing, no processing, no auto-tune...just pure talent by three brothers who didn't sing *about* women, but sang TO them.

These are 3 brothers that sang together since they were children. It's purely second nature to them.
I listened to the BEE GEES growing up. Real music, real musicians, real singers , real song writers. REAL MEN with real families.
The harmonies were what made them famous - and took them to No1 - over and over again.
There is too much hate in today's world for this type of music to be written now. Music is a reflection of the society we live in.

"Greatest" always has a level of subjectivity, so there'll never be unanimous agreement. But unquestionably Top Ten, probably Top Five.

Yes, Righteous Brothers, Bee Gees, and Hotel California (at 98 Hall of Fame Awards). There are a number of songs that you can name BEFORE THE first 8 bars are played. I was born in 1950 and had the distinct privilege and honor hearing all these songs and more over my lifetime. The Bee Gees STILL make me stop and that harmony is firm and strong enough (if electrically charged) to turn over a Semi Truck Engine. 🙂🙃😯💯❤💖👍
I always say that we had the best music ever in the 70s....so glad I was growing up in that decade
The Bee Gees were formed in 1958 and had many many hits in the 1960's, 70's & 80's. Sat Night Fever has many of their hits! Listen to "How Deep is your Love" and the harmony is superb!
Even today, if I'm walking along and listening to Night Fever, I walk differently (not quite Travolta's strut, but close)
They started singing in 1957 as children. You're listening to 20 years experience singing harmony together professionally.
It's the 70's when artist actually had talent
"Words" - beat that.
The 60s was a launchpad for the 70s
Agree and I think the 80s was the last decade that artists still had talent.
@@robertdaone I always say Grunge killed Rock & Roll
@@lrmguitars1224and country killed music.
This is why todays music is rubbish ..you can never reach this standard, ever again
Fact
Your reaction says it all. You have been BeeGeed
Golden days ,unforgettable moments .never ever these will come back,happy to have listen those songs on tape and of course radio’s.good to appreciate anew,long live the Gibson bros
No truer words have ever been spoken.
I disagree. The *REAL* talent is out there. It just gets buried, denied radioplay, or stolen by record executives & repackaged as cheap knockoffs sung by their phony handchosen few
Real music real talent thank you 💕💕💕🙏❤❤
They were second to none when it came to harmonizing.
What's crazy, they sound better than any autotune singer today lol.
How Deep is your Love and Fanny be tender with my love...both from the Bee Gees. They wrote the best love songs!
I grew up listening to the Bee Gees back in the 70s and 80s, and you are right, music like that it's hard to come by these days. Love your reaction. ♥️
Your reaction when Barry hits those high notes is PRICELESS!
The Bee Gees are responsible for writing 100’s of songs.
Glad you found them. I'm 73
Love it
Bee gees are the blueprint for true vocal and instrumental talent
When a man can sing and make a woman blush is gold!
This performance was the Bee Gees pinnacle of perfection.
Now you understand why the Bee Gees were so big. Their voices were silky smooth magic. I was able to grow up on this music. Heavenly (pun intended) voices. Smooth instruments. Just pure talent.
I was born in 89 but I grew up on this stuff! 60’s and 70’s music is literally my safe place. Every song whether sad or beautiful is so genuine and pure talent!
Any song done by the BeeGees is truly something you should listen to.
That was the GOLDEN era of Music.I saw them in concert. They are the real deal!
So glad I lived in those times .
I agree with you. They not only sing beautifully, they use their voices like instruments.
DEFINED my teen years. And thank you for your great reaction. You are making the right comments - normal reaction is to ask, "What have we been missing? What has happened to music??" Good job.
70's music is the best, period.
I didn't appreciate the Bee Gees growing up, but now I can't get enough of them. Unbelievable talent.
Please do reactions to more Bee Gees.
* Stayin Alive,
* Night Fever,
* Love You Inside Out,
* More Than a Woman...
* How Deep Is Your Love
There's so many more hits but this will you started.
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is the best.
To Love Someone, I Started A Joke, Massachusetts.....so many great songs
Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)
Thank you for reacting to that one of my favorite Bee Gees songs Barry Gibb really knows his octaves
Nice reaction, One thing that make it seem unreal is even their vibratos are in sync.
You answered your own question. It was pure music. The orchestra, the voices, the music, everything. There were no computers fixing mistakes, it had to be done right and it had to be done well, and they knew it. Hence, perfection. As a side note, in those days a person needed talent and lots of it to make it. If that person happened to be attractive it was a bonus. Today, it seems the person must look good and be young, and talent is a nice bonus. Of course, maybe it just looks that way to me.
The Bee Gees were the real deal back then because you can't get any better than Barry, Maurice, and Robin. I always loved listening to them sing.
The 70's to the late 80's had THE most touching and meaningful love songs ever written! Don't come at me bro, just stating facts.
My decade you are 100% correct!
And 50s, 60s. Lots of great melodies & amazing voices.
Absolutely
ur wrong and im coming at you bro ur not stating facts ur js wrong please get out and stay in ur lane buddy imma get u one day dont trip chocolate chip
@@santinomedlin6850 All those words and you said nothing at all. No example how I'm wrong or how you're right. Stop being the clown around town and suck it up, buttercup!
They sing falsetto perfectly and flawlessly. Love the Bee Gees and so happy that I grew up during the 1970s with beautiful music like this! I appreciate them so much more now. This song just makes you want to fall in love!
Greatest era of music mid to late 60's through the 70"s. Talent and innovation!!! No matter what you liked pop, rock, metal had all the all time greats.
There will never be again such talent as these three and the Righteous Bros.
The Bee Gees were special. Once in a life time talent.
These brothers were driven from an early age to be successful musicians. Add to that their innate singing and songwriting abilities and you get musical magic. They created so many hits, some performed by other artists, I am sure that many of them are somebody's favorite song. My personal favorite -- which also happens to be Barry's favorite -- is "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Simply sublime. You should give it a listen if you haven't done so, already.
Nothing beats family harmony. They were awesome to listen to.
I just mentioned this then scroll down to see your comment .
What is really amazing is believing you never heard the Bee Gees before.
Pretending you never heard them.
Lilly Jane is obviously in her twenties. This song is from 1978. Have you heard all the great artists from twenty years before you were born? But she's making a point of listening to classic artists now, and I give her credit for that.
Why is it "amazing"??
Being 61, I saw these cats in Syracuse, NY, towards the end of their touring. Believe me, they were that good
These 3 brothers used to sing together in their bedroom as youngsters and their mother thought they accidentally left the radio on!! She opened the door to turn the radio off and realized she was not listening to the radio!! The 3 are savants born with perfect pitch!! They are an amazing gift to music! When they recorded a track they did it in one take! RIP Robin and Maurice we love and miss you!🫶
"When they recorded a track they did it in one take! "
That's BS. You have no proof to substantiate it.
It's hard to believe that the oldest of the 4 brothers (Andy was the youngest who had his own career) is the only one still alive. Andy passed away in 1988, Maurice in 2003 and Robin in 2012.
The important factor is Barry who was able to mould the talents of his younger brothers so magnificently for such a long period of time.
@@Coowallsky I’ve watched interviews with the 3 of them since I was 5! Unless they’re lying but YOU have no proof of that!
@@conniebrown983 You have no proof of what you have posted. Post your proof.
This is what REAL MUSIC ,,,,WAS,,,, AND IT WAS THE 1970s Baby
The hole Gen X era
Got tickets back in 1977 and didn't have anything to do, so we went not expecting much. Fantastic Concert!
Technology takes the heart out of today’s music. You need real instruments and the beautiful voices of the Bee Gees.
This is real slow dance music. And i am a southern rock fan. I am 66 years old and love watching young people discovering good music.
My young times, first love comes back, beautiful 70 , THANKS, FEELS GOOD ! 65 old grandpa!
Yes yes yes .. the bee gees were ❤️❤️🤌🤌 music from that era was amazing ❤
It’s real !!!! No polishing , no editing!! Pure raw talent!!!
