Theses brothers wrote real LOVE songs. They were huge, on BBC Radio 1 50 times a day back in the late 70s and early 80s. At clubs then (I was a bit too young to get into clubs but I had connections to fake ID) and when this song played, all the most sparkly couples took to the dance floor and the mirrored ball cast a magic spell over the dance floor with the help of the BeeGees. This and Too Much Heaven were the number one snogging songs then, no surprise.
To Love Somebody (1967) is before the falsetto Barry discovered while recording Nights On Broadway. It shows their typical singing voices. All of them, especially Barry, have incredible ranges though.
The legendary Bee Gees didn't need to do anything else, for performance, but stand or walk around and sing their timeless & brilliantly written songs! Newly subscribed because you're reacting to them. Hoping you dive deep with 15 or more!
The BeeGees were huge, to the point where radio stations would advertise "BeeGees free weekends." Just to give people a break from them. No other bands have ever had that kind of treatment.
Micheal Jackson was friends with Barry and his brothers. He used to stay at his house in Miami when he was there. Barry’s son Micheal was named after him. MJ is son Micheals godfather too. Everybody and their brother has covered this as well as a host of other Bee Gee songs.
I believe they also wrote the song If I Can't Have You, sung by Yvonne Elliman, and Emotion sung by Samantha Sang, and Islands in the Stream sung by Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton, and the song Heartbreaker sung by Dionne Warwick.
Music videos were not popular until MTV, but some groups tried them out before they became popular by just filming them performing however they could. So these are early concept videos, no much imagination to them. It’s the 70’s and the music was what was important. Not the flashy videos.
I was in high school when this came out. Back then there weren’t many videos for songs. So this was a treat! Just seeing them singing the song was more than enough for us then. Unless we were able to see them on the Midnight Special or a talk show.
The Bee Gees are the band to react too. They were very versatile. Could sing anything. They were and still are my favorite band. Love and miss them. I am so happy that we have their music. It's absolutely timeless.
Massively famous group! They are originally from England, but move to Australia in the '50's. They then got popular, and then hit it big in the U.S. Many of their songs were on tons of movies, especially disco stuff, which was highly popular in their era. One of a kind voices.
Love this song & your spot on reactions tonight to the BeeGees! I watched all four tonight. I think the simple videos are due to the infancy of music videos. This is before MTV which started up in 1981. I hope you keep discovering more joy by doing more Bee Gees reactions such as- - Winds of Change, Love So Right, Love You Inside Out and Run to Me would be great for your next ones to review!❤❤❤
My personal theory on the "walking around" thing is because, apparently, behind the scenes there was "conflict" between Barry and Robin (both wanting to sing lead) so they probably wanted to make sure all three brothers were the focus and not just Barry even though he is clearly the "lead" on the majority of their songs. ((shrug)) They're not really a dance-y group, I think their music and voices pretty much speak for themselves. :) Also, they are British so shout out to the UK for producing two of my favorite bands -- the Bee Gees and Duran Duran! HA!
That’s one of the things about music from the 60s, 70s and even early 80s. It’s about the music. There wasn’t a lot of flashy stuff going on. There was none of that autotune with peoples voices and stuff. It was just plain and simple real life music!
Barry and Michael J. were good friends and Michael ussualy call Barry, and always tell him, "they love you Barry" ... "there is a Barry interviu talking about it,. Remember Michael was very much younger.
I don't know about a cover, but Barry and Michael were close friends. During his trial he stayed at Barry's house and on the news you could see the screaming crowds outside the hotel they thought Michael was at. Apparently Michael thought this was hilarious. (you can see it all in an interview with Australia 20/20 with Barry, it's a good one).
Back in 1976 there were not really videos then the way we have today. Other videos back then of other bands were the same. They just sort of walk around. It wasn't until around 1980 that MTV was created in the US that all bands started creating planed, correagraphed videos.
Michael Jackson was obsessed with the Bee Gees and their music. They had a great relationship with Michael, except as Barry once said, a few times he had to ask Michael to leave his house because he was basically spending hours on hours socializing with Barry. Despite having to ask Michael to leave there were never any hard feelings.
Well, this was before music videos were as they are now. Showing them walking together shows the three other brothers and their contributions to the song. They didn’t want to make anyone the lead singer, so all three always appeared together. This was before auto tune so they focused on their perfect harmonics. You can’t sing like that if you’re jumping around and sweating a lot.
Your have a HUGE task to react to all their hits... they either wrote or performed songs they wrote in over 100 top ten hits across nearly ALL genres! Try “Nights on Broadway” as well!!! Also check out the band “Steelheart” and their hits “She’s Gone” and “I’ll never let you go” the lead singer “Mike” Miljenko Matejevic has one of the greatest vocals ranges to ever perform...😁😁😁
Pls react to the bee gees jive talking and Saturday night fever. U will be blown away i promise u. Some others r immortality, alone, how to mend a broken heart just to start with.
Back before MTV in 1980 or 81, no bands really made music videos. So no one really knew what to do or what consumers would want to watch. Although The Bee Gees were a part of the Disco Dance era, I've never seen any of them Disco Dancin'. So, walking around is probably the next best thing. Could you react to "Fanny Be Tender With My Love". If you do, please choose a live version instead of studio because they go wild on this when live. Thanks!
The BeeGees had their most commercial success during their disco period, 1976-79 (roughly) with several number 1 hits in America. The disco period included standard disco tunes, like Night Fever, Stayin' Alive and You Should Be Dancing along with R&B tunes like How Deep is your Love and Too Much Heaven. BeeGees were the kings of disco but damn good at R&B too. Barry Gibb took the lead in vocals during this period. The pre-disco period produced lots of hits but only 1 number 1 song (several in the top 50). Robin Gibb took the lead vocals in many of the pre-disco songs though Barry sang quite a bit too. The pre-disco period has a bit different vibe from the disco period, more cerebral lyrics. When reacting to future songs, you might want to look up the release date to understand which period it came from. For example, don't expect to hear a disco tune from BeeGees that was released prior to 1975-76. And you might see Robin on lead prior to 1976.
They've written more top 10 songs than anyone. Lots have been recorded by others and written for others. I never liked Michael Jackson so I can't answer the specific question.
What are music videos supposed to be all the same? Michael Jackson admired the Brothers Gibb & he was inspired by them. listen to "Thriller" it's has a strong beat like the beat in "Stayin Alive" but was weak on the vocals & who wants to see someone dance at a concert rather than hear them sing.
It's because they do not dance they just seen with those Angelic voices that they have they do not dance neither one of them have I ever seen dance and I'm by late 60s
GOOD REACTION. I know you would recognize their song called "STAYIN ALIVE." Here are some facts about the Bee Gee's: 1.Barry Gibbs is 2 years older than I am. I grew up in this Era called DISCO. 2.Barry was the lead singer and his brother's were mostly backup, but all 3 were GREAT. 3.This was Family Harmony at its best. (Three voices that sounds like one). 4.They were a normal band until they tried something different. 5.It was an accident, they decided to sing "FALSETTO" for fun. 6.The people loved it, and DEMANDED more. 7 This became their unique, signature sound, and trademark that shot them to the top. 8. Barry was the lead singer, Robin and Maurice HARMONIZED ALSO IN FALSETTO. 9.Their unique sound that made them famous. 10 If you listen close you can hear the Falsetto of all 3. 11. It became their standard. The Disco Era was dying at this point. 12. The Bee Gee's Music, breathed new life into the Disco Era. 13, That kept DISCO alive and popular for many more years. 14. The Bee Gee's wrote 1030 songs in their life. 15.They wrote many songs, for other famous artist, who made those songs famous. 16.They broke many long standing records, in their lifetime. 17. They wrote all of their own music. 18. And all 3 played instruments themselves. 19. They would be honored that a new generation is hearing their music. 20. Feel free to check out my facts for yourself.
They made it about the music instead of flashy moves or special effects. “Here is our music, we will just walk around and sing. Sound good?”
walking around = low budget, Lol
@@saturnnet1627 with some seriously high profits!
Obviously it worked, they dominated the radio in the late 70s.

You don't need 'other stuff' when you can sing like that.🕊️
Exactly.
They didn’t need to jump through hoops for anyone!!! The were perfect the way they were!!!
The Bee Gees wrote this song but many people have copied it....but there is only one Bee Gees the best group ever. thanks for this reaction.
Not sure if this is true, but I've read that The Beatles wrote 239 songs and The Bee Gees have written over 1,000. It's a deep rabbit hole indeed!
We're living in a world of fools, breaking us down. How true that is for today....

From the Saturday night Fever soundtrack...biggest selling soundtrack for decades! They were and still are regarded as huge!
I believe they also wrote the song If I Can't Have You, sung by Yvonne Elliman, and Emotion sung by Samantha Sang, and Islands in the Stream sung by Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton, and the song Heartbreaker sung by Dionne Warwick.
They ABSOLUTELY did!!
Yes and many more
MICHAEL JACKSON CRIED when he first heard them sing!!!!!! And yes....they were good friends!!!!
They stroll around so as not to distract you from the glorious vocals. :D
Many of their songs were featured in movies al over the world.
Michael was Barry's best friend, and the godfather to one of his sons, Michael. Check out MJ and Barry's song 'All In Your Name'...🔥
Music theory class had us study these harmonies. That said this is dreamy, creamy beyond yacht rock/disco dreamscape.

Precisely! 😁
If you check, you'll find that Johnny Mathis covered this song. And did it very well, a similar vocalist.
Awesome reaction bro 👌... "You should be Dancing" has to be your next reaction...im sure that will get you moving lol
The Bee Gees are the band to react too. They were very versatile. Could sing anything. They were and still are my favorite band. Love and miss them. I am so happy that we have their music. It's absolutely timeless.
You should be dancing, Saturday night fever, Tragedy so so many great songs 1000's.
Oooh, Tragedy....
@@elysehfm8797 I think you mean Ahhhh.. *Barry blows into the mic* TRAGEDY! 🤭
BGs wrote all the songs they sang..fab song writers..thousands of them lllol

TREE! Is THIS the one that was blocked? I lost my place. No, Too Much Heaven. Got it!
Beautiful love the Bee Gees. Great reaction heart felt.

Great reaction. You should react to a duet that Barry did with Barbra Streisand called Guilty. That is one of my favorites.
You might have heard the version of this song by Take That in the 90's
Best boy band of all time
Barry did a video with MJ. I think it's called In His Name.
That’s one of the things about music from the 60s, 70s and even early 80s. It’s about the music. There wasn’t a lot of flashy stuff going on. There was none of that autotune with peoples voices and stuff. It was just plain and simple real life music!
Ooooh I used to daydream to this when I was a kid. Got so lost in this sound ❤ Bee-Gees such good feelings.
Barry and Michael J. were good friends and Michael ussualy call Barry, and always tell him, "they love you Barry" ... "there is a Barry interviu talking about it,. Remember Michael was very much younger.
Not only from the U.S or the U.K, France here ! Love your reactions 💕
Back in the day, music videos were in there infancy. Many are from before MTV and VH1 and are just a filmed performance.
bee gees i couldn't love you more
The Bee Gees considered themselves song writers first, then performers.
Check out Stayin Alive and Jive Talkin!😁
I don't know about a cover, but Barry and Michael were close friends. During his trial he stayed at Barry's house and on

Was the disco era, hence the lights, never understood the video either, Bee gees moved with the times, timeless hits...👍😁
So many songs to discover

Micheal Jackson Loves the Bee Gees too..they did a collab once
Hey Jordan, seeing you love this stuff i have to believe that you will also enjoy The Average White Band. Some very very nice R&B.
They were mega stars in the 70s.
There voices are amazing

REACT FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLLS LIVE BEE GEES...
I think this is the original.
I heard that the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a cover.
👏👏🤜
Maybe other artists…but he Bee Gees wrote it

"Thriller" sucked a bunch of hard-driving beats but "the Bee Gees songs in the "Saturday Night Fever" LP blew Jackson's LP away.
Yes!!!! MJ copied/payed homage to them. I said it for years and got shot down.
Artists absorb.
Just going point out that MJ was still a child,under his dad,when theBGs were charting since the late 50s into the 60s.
It's because they do not dance they just seen with those Angelic voices that they have they do not dance neither one of them have I ever seen dance and I'm by late 60s
Quit being disrespectful
95 % of music videos dubbed and lip-sync this is one of them .
Michael Jackson copied Bee Gees. This song was made in 1967 or 68.
