@SalvoG THIS is just one of their many many hits over their 40+ year career! The movie this was in was a blockbuster and won awards too including some for their music. Welcome to the wonderful world of NO AUTO TUNE BABY! Isn't is awesome? Exactly how you head them here IS exactly how quite a few of my friends heard them in concert cuz they were able to score tickets! They used to sellout within minutes! They were constantly adding show's at the Nassau Coliseum and also Madison Square Garden. I live like 10 minutes away from the Coliseum IF you drive slowly 😂 So if you couldn't get tickets over there? Within the week, level was playing would be at Madison Square Garden. The Garden is like an hour and 15 minute ride on the LIRR away. Believe me~any concert nights going to or out of NYC? Those train were like open bar cars! It was a lotta fun! We'd just walk in there with cases of beer & bottles in our jackets and none of the conductor said anything. IF anything they well just like hey you guys going to a concert tonight? Who's playing? 😂#NYGenXBIKERLady
Barry is the oldest. Andy was the youngest. He died when he was thirty. Robin and Maurice were twins and I saw a documentary that said they just knew when to put their voices in a song at different times. Maurice died in 2003 and Robin in 2012. Barry is the last one left. I saw a documentary that said Andy and Barry were like twins down to birthmarks. I am so glad I grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s best music ever.
Three of my other favorite songs by the Bee Gees are "Jive Talkin'", "Too Much Heaven" and "Nights On Broadway". But this one here is my all time fave!!
Love the BeeGees. You have to see John Travolta walking and dancing to this. Gives it a whole different perspective. Great song choice, thanks for this one!
Bee Gees were golden but John Travolta singing and strutting his way through Saturday Night Live to this is one of the best memories of that time! Of course Grease and Urban Cowboy are right up there too! Not to mention that most CPR classes have staying alive as the soundtrack to help people to literally "stay alive!"!
The song is even better when it's played over John Travolta walking in New York, swinging his butt side to side. You owe it to yourself to watch his movies, Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive.
Permission to Bee Gee the hell out of us. We love them. 1967 was their beginnings on the charts. Their album Bee Gee's 1st would be great to do to get you rooted in where they came from.
You should hear some of their early stuff, like "I Started a Joke" "Massachusetts," "Words," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "New York Mining Disaster 1941." Totally different than their disco years.
To Love Somebody...a fav BeeGees and all time favorite song list for me. Has a poignant meaning for me now that my sweet husband has passed. 😪 Listen to Keith Urban sing it to Sir Barry Gibb in a tribute concert. Chills and tears. At end Keith says 'God bless you Barry Gibb.' We all feel that way. By the way, Barry cried.
These men were the biggest thing back in the day.. you heard their music on the radio constantly hit after hit.. enjoyed your reaction.. can't wait for you to go down this rabbit hole.
"Stayin' Alive" has a tempo of 103 beats per minute (bpm). The best compression rate for hands-only CPR is 100-120 bpm. New York-Presbyterian Hospital advises those administering hands-only CPR to compress the chest in time with this song.
Related fun fact: the other song they say to use is Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. So you have two songs to use while trying to save someone’s life. One that tells you to stay alive, and the other that says you bit the dust. 😆
Barry’s signature falsetto originated in the studio when producer Arif Mardin asked if any of the Bee Gees could scream in falsetto. They were recording ad libs and background vocals for their hit “Nights On Broadway” which was on their Main Course album. Mardin was absolutely stunned at the power of Barry’s falsetto. Barry later said “My whole life, I didn’t know I could do this.”
I grew up listening to the them,they are beyond amazing musicians, Barry wrote a song and performed with Barbara Streisand, they wrote Islands in the Stream performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, they wrote and produced for Diana Ross with Michael Jackson, they wrote for Dionne Warwick and many others. They are a real phenomenon, unfortunately only Barry is still with us! However all 3 brothers have talented children!
I know young people are missing out on stuff from 45 years ago but there’s no way he hasn’t heard this. At least in passing. I hope your life just got better Salvo! You are right, this was one of the biggest hits of all time. Check out Too Much Heaven next.
Before listening to 'Too Much Heaven', keep in mind that they signed away ALL royalties to that song, in perpetuity, to UNICEF. Haven't seen a recent total, but it was already in double digit millions a number of years ago.
Began in 1958 and had a 40+ year career. At one time they had 5 hits in the top ten simultaneously. One of the bestselling groups of all time. Wrote more than 1,000 songs including hits for other artists. Barry Gibb, the oldest brother, is the only one still alive but he's still producing music, composing and performing. The loss of his 3 younger brothers has been devastating to him. So talented and known for their tight and beautiful harmonies. They all had falsetto voices in their musical abilities but Barry's was exceptional. Check out "Nobody Get's Too Much Heaven"!
This played in every disco on repeat. The whole soundtrack did. I don’t care what people say about the disco era…I loved it! I worked all week then danced Friday and Saturday nights. It was so much fun! Me and my friends had a blast!
Yes! The BeeGees always had it going on. I am a nurse's aid, and one year when I went to have my CPR license renewed the class that I went to used their song "Stayin Alive". Being the big fan that I was I was simply blown away that the instructor had decided to use this song to keep time with doing the chest compressions. The fantastic beat was perfect to use to keep time with the compressions. Thank you Thank you SalvoG for sharing so many great memories of the BeeGees. They will always remain in my heart with much fondness and love.
They recorded this in the mid seventies, long before autotune. They performed it on stage, too. No pauses, for sure. I read a comment somewhere that it takes unshakeable self confidence to sing a line like, "Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man no time to talk!" In a relentless falsetto like theirs. They sing three part harmony in falsetto, a remarkable achievement. But they can sing in regular voices, too. Most of their early records aren't in falsetto. And oh yeah, Saurday Night Fever was a huge hit, and the songs from it were everywhere. The Bee Gees wrote all their own music, including the hits from this movie.
OMG, I was shocked when you hadn't heard any Stone's songs but Bee Gees? You're in for quite a ride. How Deep Is Your Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Love You Inside and Out is so funky, the video of Too Much Heaven will leave you gasping, To Love Somebody, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, and Run to Me are classics covered by many many artists. Jive Talkin, Nights on Broadway, Fanny (Be Tender With My Love, You Should be Dancing, Night Fever, Tragedy and More Than A Woman are all must-hears. Get ready to be amazed!
@@kmach1000 I know right? But to be honest, I couldn't name a single Guns and Roses song because they just weren't a band I was interested in at the time. Sal wasn't even born when these songs came out, at least he has an excuse! 😗
I agree that How Deep Is Your Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever! The melody, the singing, the lyrics were just perfection. The song sounds like it's exploding with all love sparkles and sprinkles.
Listen to TOO MUCH HEAVEN, you’ll see their ability to harmonize and Barry’s falsetto is out of this world. Robin and Maurice could also sing beautifully in falsetto as you’ll se in Too MUCH HEAVEN. you’ll see that they’re in a class all their own. ❤❤❤
The Bee Gees made the movie a big hit. And they write/wrote all their own songs; and none of them could read or write music! I don't think the movie would have been half as good without the Bee Gee's soundtrack. They had a younger brother, Andy, who was going to be the 4th Bee Gee, but he passed away at the age of 30. Maurice pronounced his name "Morris". React to "Too Much Heaven" Live. RIP Andy, Maurice & Robin. We sure miss ya. xxx
Yes, this is Barry, the oldest brother (and the only one still alive), listed as the best falsetto, but I love also his chest voice. The falsetto songs (era) are only a small part of their songs (they wrote more than 1000 and over 100 top 10 songs). "The subject matter of 'Stayin' Alive' is actually quite a serious one; It's about survival in the streets of New York, and the lyrics actually say that". "Fun" fact:„At 103 BPM (beats per minute), "Stayin' Alive" corresponds to the recommended heart rate for cardiac massage and is well suited as a memory aid because of its popularity and the appropriate title
Imagine creating the most life-saving song of all time..?? For those who don’t know: If someone falls over and you can’t sense a beat from putting a pressure on their wrist or neck/throat, you can find the heart by: Feeling for the bottom left rib and going to the middle. (Right is: 3 on your watch. Left is 9) and, point four fingers up and four fingers in, from the ribs edge and then pump to the rhythm to “Staying Alive”
The Bee Gees were/are amazing. I was lucky enough to see Barry do a solo show in Boston after his brother's died. The crowd wouldn't let him leave the stage. We cheered, clapped, and cried the whole night--and so did he! What a memorable evening.
The Bee Gees essentially wrote and composed the entire soundtrack to the movie in a weekend and submitted the demos a few days later. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack had 4 or 5 #1 hits on it and is one of the top 10 best selling albums of all time. Disco was big before the Bee Gees but they absolutely turbo charged Disco. The Bee Gees however were soooo much more than a Disco band. Their catalogue is deep and worth every minute of it. They were one of the biggest bands of all time. Pop. Soul. Ballads. Disco. They did it all.
Nothing speaks about the 70s like the Bee Gees and like Staying a live, both this song and Saturday night fever are iconic, the Too much heaven is my favorite of them, but they have soo many number 1 hits.
It is so hard to imagine a time when everyone doesn't know who the Bee Gees are! They were the background music of my life. I can't recall just how many times I went to the theater to see Saturday Night Fever, but it was more than a few!
Great reaction. This song is apparently played every 20 seconds globally. They had 100 top 10 hits over the years. Welcome to the global superstarsom of the Bee Gees
The movie was fantastic. Will always picture John Travolta strutting when I hear this song. So many Bee Gees hits. The live performance of Too Much Heaven will grace you with the most beautiful harmonies ever.
The Bee Gees were simply fabulous. You ought to listen to Barry with Streisand singing “What Kind of Fool” And “Guilty.” You won’t believe how great their voices blend.
And yes. “That movie” was a giant hit. Between the movie and this song, Disco (which at the time was considered on its last legs) was suddenly given second life. And remained relevant for probably another three years as a musical genre.
All the BeeGees songs are so well written. In 1978 the BeeGees dominated the airwaves. For weeks they, their brother Andy, Emotion and their label RSO held the entire top 10 hostage. It was crazy and everyone went to the disco to dance!
Barry Gibb was the heartthrob in the group but he has been married to his wife, Linda, for more than 50 years! He was already married to her for 7 years at the time this song came out.
Welcome in the Univers of the Bee Gees. I grow up with the best Group ever. They had so many Songs. And every Song is a surprice. I love it so much. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet. Please react paying the price of love. 🕺🥰👍
Dude, I recently discovered your channel - I love how you research the song with us before you react to it. You seriously have never heard this song? Crazy. Anyway really enjoying your videos- keep it up!
I also love the fact that you knew that they were brothers, etc, etc. Many of the reactors din,t even know their names. But, in time, i,m thrilled a new generation is learning about real music
Congratulations! You just took the first step into the amazing world of the Bee Gees. You got so much ahead of you, you don't even know. I envy you! By the way, Barry Gibb is so beloved, two years ago at age 74, he released a new album and it went to #1 in England! (and #15 here)
Wow! Welcome to the world of the BeeGees :). The official video for You Should be Dancing HAS to be next. Funky fun song - and you get to check out John Travolta's KILLER dances moves. Followed by Too Much Heaven and How Deep is Your Love. Enjoy the ride and the rabbit hole. Cheers from Canada!
New subscriber here! You can’t go wrong with a Bee Gees song. Enjoy exploring the rabbit hole. It’s a deep one! Please react to their “Fanny, Be Tender” (a masterpiece), “Nights on Broadway”, “Night Fever” (HUGE hit from Saturday Night Fever), “Jive Talkin’”….I could go on and on. ❤
Saturday Night Fever and Stayin Alive were essentially the anthem of the disco era. This is the first song that pops into most people's heads when they think of disco.
Hi Salvo, yes Saturday Night Fever was a hit movie and this album was fire. The BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) are a humongous multi decade rabbit hole. There are many styles and sounds as they progressed from the early Australian days to the last days. Barry is the surviving brother. Enjoy the journey! I’m sure you’re inundated with requests by now. I’ll second or add How Deep Is Your Love.
Now THAT was a very thoughtful reaction -- love the way you took the time to do some research about the group before playing the song. I think you are going to really enjoy discovering their music -- the Bee Gees were phenomenal!
"Fanny Be Tender" Great song! " Winds of change" Children of the world" & " Love so right. Can't go wrong with the Bee Gees. They never made a bad song.
Completely blown away I'm sure. These guys were incredible in the late 1970's. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing a Bee Gees song. Perhaps the most successful band in the 1970's. So here's a recap: Elvis in the 1950's; Beatles in the 1960's, Bee Gees in the 1970's; Michael Jackson in the 1980's, and I lost track of music after this.
Totally agree with your summary and all of them are my favorites, for my taste I would only add ABBA and my list is complete. Also I lost track at the same time.
This is about the time artful dance began again. I love watching those who participated in "swing". They were really acrobats. This was the invitation to begin the art again ... I wish more had followed.
You definitely have to listen to Massachusetts with all 3 singing but Robin sings his voice is pure magic. Absolutely every song that they sing is amazing!! Their younger brother Andy Gibb was also a huge star but unfortunately passed away very young. The only one left is. Barry and check out all of hit songs that Barry wrote for other singers that were huge hits as well as all of the duets Barry sang with others. ❤ thank You for sharing
Many of the songs they wrote for others (Guilty and Woman in Love for Streisand, Emotion for Samantha Sang, Come on over for Olivia Newton John, Chain Reaction for Diana Ross, Islands in the Stream for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton) were written by Barry and Robin together or by all three.
OMG your face was epic during this. And like everyone who has EVER heard it you could not stop moving. Here in the Uk there were certain artists that dominated the charts in the 70's ABBA, Elton John and the Bee Gee's to names but 3 their music still sounds fresh today as it was based on pure talent not sounds tweaked in studios. Got to do Too Much Heaven next.
I REALLY recommend looking into their 60s work too. Some suggestions, To Love Somebody, Holiday, World, I Started a Joke, Gotta Get a Message To You and Odessa are AMAZING
The Bee Gees are brothers they started singing as kids in the late 50s and kept going as a group until Mo died in 2003. Their music changed with the times which is why they are tied with McCartney and Lennon for the most number one songs ever written. Barry didn't realize he could sing falsetto until 1975 while doing add libs for their Main Course album when asked to go out and scream high into the mic. The Bee Gees are my favorite group. And yes the movie was a huge hit, they only had music on it because their manager was producing the movie and bugged them for songs for it. They didn't even read the script that they were given, only knew it was about a kid who worked in a paint shop who blew his money in dance clubs on the weekends and enters a dance competition.
I really enjoyed your reaction to “Staying Alive!” I am 79 years old, and can remember when this song came out. The movie used the song, and it became a symbol of the Age of Disco! Glad you liked it!
BeeGees had several #1 hit songs in the seventies, including Stayin Alive. This song is disco. They also have banger R and B #1 hits from same period. Check out Too Much Heaven and you want to see the live version (official video)
The best group ever. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. I love them and their songs. They have so much talent you will see if you do more reactions.
I can't even believe you haven't already gone down this rabbit hole!!! So happy you're finally here! PLEASE check out Too Much Heaven...it will blow you away...AMAZING. These guys were such a gift to the world of music. Pure talent!
If you enjoy this reaction, make sure you subscribe for more BeeGees and content like this!

You have to react to
Too Much Heaven.
Five decades of songs every bit as great as this one.
Michael Jackson and Barry Gibb
All In Your Name.
Barry is the oldest. Andy was the youngest. He died when he was thirty. Robin and Maurice were twins and I saw a documentary that said they just knew when to put their voices in a song at different times. Maurice died in 2003 and Robin in 2012. Barry is the last one left. I saw a documentary that said Andy and Barry were like twins down to birthmarks. I am so glad I grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s best music ever.
Three of my other favorite songs by the Bee Gees are "Jive Talkin'", "Too Much Heaven" and "Nights On Broadway". But this one here is my all time fave!!
I really hate dumbasses pretending to hear music for the first time.
I genuinly feel sorry for the 'young one's' today. We had the best music of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Love the BeeGees. You have to see John Travolta walking and dancing to this. Gives it a whole different perspective. Great song choice, thanks for this one!
Bee Gees were golden but John Travolta singing and strutting his way through Saturday Night Live to this is one of the best memories of that time! Of course Grease and Urban Cowboy are right up there too! Not to mention that most CPR classes have staying alive as the soundtrack to help people to literally "stay alive!"!
His walk is epic and Bee Gee's walk is a very close second
He didn't walk - he strut 😉
This would have😮 been an epic video if they used the movie footage of travolta
@@catfergie4361 I have to disagree. I love watching Barry Gibb strutting to this song! Barry was gorgeous!!!!
It's amazing to me that there are people who haven't heard of the BeeGees and/or this song yet.
Or Saturday Night Fever. 🕺 Salvo made me feel very old!🤦♀
@@terri2494Im 48 but had a Mama that had me at 20 so believe me I grew up with it all! I realize how lucky I am

Agreed
The song is even better when it's played over John Travolta walking in New York, swinging his butt side to side. You owe it to yourself to watch his movies, Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive.
Yassss!
This is one of the biggest, most famous songs ever made. Beyond iconic.
This song is so famous that doctors recommend using its beat to perform CPR.
Barry is still writing, with his sons, and recording. Still sounds amazing at 76 yrs old. RIP Maurice and Robin who were twins.
and little brother Andy, RIP
@@impudentdomainI was coming to say the same thing. He is my favorite Gibb.

"Stayin' Alive" has a tempo of 103 beats per minute (bpm). The best compression rate for hands-only CPR is 100-120 bpm. New York-Presbyterian Hospital advises those administering hands-only CPR to compress the chest in time with this song.

Left is 9)
and, point four fingers up and four fingers in, from the ribs edge and then pump to the rhythm to “Staying Alive”
The Bee Gees were/are amazing. I was lucky enough to see Barry do a solo show in Boston after his brother's died. The crowd wouldn't let him leave the stage. We cheered, clapped, and cried the whole night--and so did he! What a memorable evening.
I live in boston. Where was he?
The Bee Gees essentially wrote and composed the entire soundtrack to the movie in a weekend and submitted the demos a few days later. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack had 4 or 5 #1 hits on it and is one of the top 10 best selling albums of all time. Disco was big before the Bee Gees but they absolutely turbo charged Disco. The Bee Gees however were soooo much more than a Disco band. Their catalogue is deep and worth every minute of it. They were one of the biggest bands of all time. Pop. Soul. Ballads. Disco. They did it all.
Nothing speaks about the 70s like the Bee Gees and like Staying a live, both this song and Saturday night fever are iconic, the Too much heaven is my favorite of them, but they have soo many number 1 hits.
It is so hard to imagine a time when everyone doesn't know who the Bee Gees are! They were the background music of my life. I can't recall just how many times I went to the theater to see Saturday Night Fever, but it was more than a few!
I don't know of anybody that doesn't know this song....you proved me wrong:) great reaction:)
Great reaction. This song is apparently played every 20 seconds globally. They had 100 top 10 hits over the years. Welcome to the global superstarsom of the Bee Gees
The movie was fantastic. Will always picture John Travolta strutting when I hear this song. So many Bee Gees hits. The live performance of Too Much Heaven will grace you with the most beautiful harmonies ever.
I picture the guy in Airplane! pointing / gesturing to his back where he has been stabbed with a knife 🔪
I prefer Barry strutting. Gorgeous man.
The Bee Gees were simply fabulous. You ought to listen to Barry with Streisand singing “What Kind of Fool” And “Guilty.” You won’t believe how great their voices blend.
I'll second that..... Barry & Barbra in her backyard concert singing those 2 duets is absolutely the best: ruclips.net/video/qHEFZxTkNyQ/видео.html
And yes. “That movie” was a giant hit. Between the movie and this song, Disco (which at the time was considered on its last legs) was suddenly given second life. And remained relevant for probably another three years as a musical genre.
All the BeeGees songs are so well written. In 1978 the BeeGees dominated the airwaves. For weeks they, their brother Andy, Emotion and their label RSO held the entire top 10 hostage. It was crazy and everyone went to the disco to dance!
Barry Gibb was the heartthrob in the group but he has been married to his wife, Linda, for more than 50 years! He was already married to her for 7 years at the time this song came out.
Welcome in the Univers of the Bee Gees. I grow up with the best Group ever. They had so many Songs. And every Song is a surprice. I love it so much. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet. Please react paying the price of love. 🕺🥰👍
Bee Gees brothers was my great no.1 band from all their early ages to now.❤❤❤
This song and the movie were HUGE at the time. My favorite BeeGees song is "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart."
Dude, I recently discovered your channel - I love how you research the song with us before you react to it. You seriously have never heard this song? Crazy. Anyway really enjoying your videos- keep it up!
I also love the fact that you knew that they were brothers, etc, etc. Many of the reactors din,t even know their names. But, in time, i,m thrilled a new generation is learning about real music
Congratulations! You just took the first step into the amazing world of the Bee Gees. You got so much ahead of you, you don't even know. I envy you! By the way, Barry Gibb is so beloved, two years ago at age 74, he released a new album and it went to #1 in England! (and #15 here)
"How Deep Is Your Love" should be next!!!! These guys were amazing!. Unfortunately, Barry who is the eldest brother is the only one still alive.
Best harmonizing group ever. Luv luv luv their music!
Wow! Welcome to the world of the BeeGees :). The official video for You Should be Dancing HAS to be next. Funky fun song - and you get to check out John Travolta's KILLER dances moves. Followed by Too Much Heaven and How Deep is Your Love. Enjoy the ride and the rabbit hole. Cheers from Canada!
I’m 73 I have the Bee Gee’s greatest hits vol 1&2 in my Mustang. I blare them while singing at the top of my lungs. I’ve loved them all my life.
New subscriber here! You can’t go wrong with a Bee Gees song. Enjoy exploring the rabbit hole. It’s a deep one! Please react to their “Fanny, Be Tender” (a masterpiece), “Nights on Broadway”, “Night Fever” (HUGE hit from Saturday Night Fever), “Jive Talkin’”….I could go on and on. ❤
I consider myself an excellent mum having brought up my children with this fine fine music ( 70s and 80s) .
My children are 30 and below !!!
You’ll really appreciate Too Much Heaven by The Bee Gees. I’d love to see you react to that. They were just amazing!!!
Saturday Night Fever and Stayin Alive were essentially the anthem of the disco era. This is the first song that pops into most people's heads when they think of disco.
Omg The Bee Gees have so many hits it will blow your mind!!! They are amazing
Ahhh The Bee Gees! It started with Spicks and Specks and never stopped!! Amazing harmony and songs!! ❤
I can watch all my Gibb brothers stay'in alive happily.❤😊
This song IS the definition of Disco 🕺🏽
It’s so funky and fun 🤩
The Most Popular Song Ever Recorded. Play this in any nightclub, anywhere around the world, and you will fill up that dance floor instantly.
The Bee Gees are OUT of This WORLD. a bit of heaven on this Earth.
They also wrote the music for the movie "Grease".
Just the title song -- "Grease (Is the Word"). Barry wrote it.
Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven, you won't be sorry.
If you ever have to give someone CPR, remember this song.......the timing of the beat (i.e. tempo) is how fast you need to give compressions 💜💜💜
Been listening to the BeeGees for 50 years God Bless them and there outstanding music❤❤❤
This was a huge hit back in the late 70's. Saturday Night Fever is a good movie and the soundtrack is amazing!
Hi Salvo, yes Saturday Night Fever was a hit movie and this album was fire. The BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) are a humongous multi decade rabbit hole. There are many styles and sounds as they progressed from the early Australian days to the last days. Barry is the surviving brother. Enjoy the journey! I’m sure you’re inundated with requests by now. I’ll second or add How Deep Is Your Love.
LEGENDS ❤
Can't believe you've gone this long without the magic of the BeeGees!?!?!
Great reaction to one of the best selling groups of all time. Saturday Night Fever was a smash hit, and Travolta was great in it. Love The Bee Gees!
There was no disco without the Bee Gees😁
Those falsettos are pure Gold!!
I envy that!! Can't reach those notes
Now THAT was a very thoughtful reaction -- love the way you took the time to do some research about the group before playing the song. I think you are going to really enjoy discovering their music -- the Bee Gees were phenomenal!
"Fanny Be Tender" Great song! " Winds of change" Children of the world" & " Love so right. Can't go wrong with the Bee Gees. They never made a bad song.
I’m so thankful I was a teenager in the 70’s. We had the best all around music.
TOO MUCH HEAVEN....PLEASE!!
Can never go wrong with a Bee Gee's song
Completely blown away I'm sure. These guys were incredible in the late 1970's. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing a Bee Gees song. Perhaps the most successful band in the 1970's. So here's a recap: Elvis in the 1950's; Beatles in the 1960's, Bee Gees in the 1970's; Michael Jackson in the 1980's, and I lost track of music after this.
Totally agree with your summary and all of them are my favorites, for my taste I would only add ABBA and my list is complete. Also I lost track at the same time.
This is about the time artful dance began again. I love watching those who participated in "swing". They were really acrobats. This was the invitation to begin the art again ... I wish more had followed.
You definitely have to listen to Massachusetts with all 3 singing but Robin sings his voice is pure magic. Absolutely every song that they sing is amazing!! Their younger brother Andy Gibb was also a huge star but unfortunately passed away very young. The only one left is. Barry and check out all of hit songs that Barry wrote for other singers that were huge hits as well as all of the duets Barry sang with others. ❤ thank You for sharing
Many of the songs they wrote for others (Guilty and Woman in Love for Streisand, Emotion for Samantha Sang, Come on over for Olivia Newton John, Chain Reaction for Diana Ross, Islands in the Stream for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton) were written by Barry and Robin together or by all three.
The 1970s Hands Down The Best Decade for Music!! It was a Great time to be alive ! Grateful to have been there!
Great reaction again, thank you. Try "Too Much Heaven". Trust me, you will be blown A W A Y !
One thing about this song. It doesn't matter where you are, whenever it plays, you immediately start walking to the beat!!
OMG your face was epic during this. And like everyone who has EVER heard it you could not stop moving. Here in the Uk there were certain artists that dominated the charts in the 70's ABBA, Elton John and the Bee Gee's to names but 3 their music still sounds fresh today as it was based on pure talent not sounds tweaked in studios. Got to do Too Much Heaven next.
Isn't it amazing how the Bee Gees reach out and latch onto your soul and never let go.
I REALLY recommend looking into their 60s work too. Some suggestions, To Love Somebody, Holiday, World, I Started a Joke, Gotta Get a Message To You and Odessa are AMAZING
I was there. It was everywhere, you couldn't escape. After all these years, I can really appreciate the production and the harmonies. Legendary.
JIVE TALKIN' !!!!
The Bee Gees are brothers they started singing as kids in the late 50s and kept going as a group until Mo died in 2003. Their music changed with the times which is why they are tied with McCartney and Lennon for the most number one songs ever written. Barry didn't realize he could sing falsetto until 1975 while doing add libs for their Main Course album when asked to go out and scream high into the mic. The Bee Gees are my favorite group. And yes the movie was a huge hit, they only had music on it because their manager was producing the movie and bugged them for songs for it. They didn't even read the script that they were given, only knew it was about a kid who worked in a paint shop who blew his money in dance clubs on the weekends and enters a dance competition.
Loved dancing to this in NYC DISCOS!! Nothing like it!! ❤
I really enjoyed your reaction to “Staying Alive!” I am 79 years old, and can remember when this song came out. The movie used the song, and it became a symbol of the Age of Disco! Glad you liked it!
‘You should be dancin’ is another Bee Gee’s song from Saturday Night Fever that is absolutely awesome.
The Disco era, the best time in my life, Thanks BEE GEES
BeeGees had several #1 hit songs in the seventies, including Stayin Alive. This song is disco. They also have banger R and B #1 hits from same period. Check out Too Much Heaven and you want to see the live version (official video)
The best group ever. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. I love them and their songs. They have so much talent you will see if you do more reactions.
I can't even believe you haven't already gone down this rabbit hole!!! So happy you're finally here! PLEASE check out Too Much Heaven...it will blow you away...AMAZING. These guys were such a gift to the world of music. Pure talent!
