Barry spent most of his childhood in the British Isles and the twins were nearly 9 when they left England for Australia in 1958.

      Interesting tid-bit, they didn't actually write the songs FOR the movie. They were approached for new songs for a dance movie, that was in early stages. They sent songs they'd already written, but hadn't recorded yet. Barry said he thought one reason SNF was such a success, is because the scriptwriters wrote the scenes to fit the music (rather than what's usually done, where a songwriter tries to write a song to fit an already filmed scene).

      The Bee Gees’ name actually came to be after they began performing at Brisbane Speedway by promoter & driver Bill Goode, who then introduced them to local radio DJ Bill Gates. With their initials being the same as Barry’s & their mother Barbara Gibb’s, they were first known as The BGs…..later changing it to The Bee Gees. Despite popular belief, the name was not specifically a reference to “Brothers Gibb”.

    One of the things that helped create their signature sound is the fact that they were actual brothers and therefore had very similar voice qualities which makes for incredible blends on the harmonies. This was their "Disco" era. They had a long and very successful career before this but this era pushed them up several levels in popularity and acclaim.

  • @williamcooper2415
    @williamcooper2415 Год назад +11

    The way I interpret this song, is that LIFE IS MOTION; therefore, STAYING ALIVE, is them singing that they are in motion - THE WAY THEY WALK, TALK, DANCE, BEING KICKED AND REJECTED is LIVING and SUSTAINS THEM TO STAY LIVING. Notice how they act this out in the video, they are literally IN MOTION, WALKING around buildings shot up and in ruins, stopping just long enough to remind the listeners, they are STAYING ALIVE and still in motion.
    This song is very addictive and the beat demands MOTION from the listener. So, in a beautiful ironic twist, they singing about STAYING ALIVE, also compels their fans to do the same.
    This is R&B on steroids, even though it's Disco.

    As other mentions, the lead singer on this one is Barry, the only brother still alive.
    If you want to hear them sing in the lower register then go Predisco with songs from 1967 to 1974 with songs like I Started A Joke (Robin on Lead), Words (Barry on lead) or I've Gotta Get A Message To You (Shared Lead), in 1973 they recorded a song called Elisa, here each brother had a verse, to my knowledge the only song where this happened.
    Also Past Disco 1981 to 2001 nearly all songs where with the lower registry voices. My favorites of this periode would by My Lovers Prayer, Alone, The Only Love, You Win Again, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Wedding Day, Still Waters, I Will, Bodyguard, Happy Ever After and Rings Around The Moon. These all have either Barry, Robin or shared lead. Maurice also had songs where he was lead, a good example would be Man In The Middle, a song that captures the thing about him being the man in between the 2 ego's of Barry and Robin.

    "Stayin' Alive" was written and recorded by the Bee Gees in 1977 specifically for the "Saturday Night Fever Motion Picture Soundtrack", It was the opening track. It was one of the Bee Gees signature songs and one of their most recognizable. When the brothers were just starting out Robin was usually the lead vocalist because of his clear Vibrato BUT at the height of their popularity (mid to late 70's early 80's) it was Barry Gibb and his R & B falsetto that gave them their signature sound. An interesting piece of trivia, when medical professionals are training for CPR they are recommended to play this song in their head because this song has about 104 beats per minute and it is recommended to perform between 100 and 120 chest compressions per minute while doing CPR.

    Iconic. Killer bass line. 104 bpm drum loop. Using violins to accent the keyboards in places other producers would likely fill with guitars gives a lightness in the overall sway of this song that sets it apart. Dig the timbale accents too! The music evokes images of the spinning dancers it inspired. Disco was such a big thing in the middle 1970's, the elementary school I went to taught us how to dance "The Hustle" on its annual carnival day. "The Hustle" was the dance that went with "The Hustle", an instrumental disco song by Van McCoy that went to number one in the summer of 1975, opening the door for more disco music, like the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack two years later. Another track by The Bee Gees from that album that is more than worthy of a reaction is "Jive Talkin'".

    Great reaction. BeeGees stands for the people who discovered them: Bill Gates, Bill Good, the oldest brother Barry Gibb, their mother Barbara Gibb and later for the Brothers Gibb. In this clip: the tallest guy in the middle with the big hair and beard, the lead singer: Barry Gibb born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Guy with long hair and red t-shirt: Robin Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, balding guy with beard Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin'. From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too ruclips.net/video/7niXSh7vWRI/видео.html

    No-- Middle brother and lead singer here for "STayin' Alive" is the older brother BARRY GIBB. Robin is the beardless twin who shares the lead occasionally. The other bearded guy is Robin's fraternal twin "Mo" or Maurice Gibb. The twins are 3 years younger than Barry. Robin sang the lead more in the pre-Disco hits and after the Disco phase, the two alternated leads and sang less falsetto in the 80's thru 2001 --when Mo died in 2003 suddenly at 52, the Bee Gees "died". Robin and Barry did mostly solo work. Robin died of cancer in 2012. Barry is the last of the four brothers still standing (Andy Gibb died at age 30 in 1988). There is the oldest sib still alive living in Australia --a sister, Leslie, who once subbed for Robin for a big gig because Robin split for 18 mos. from the Bee Gees in 1969-70. They re-united, Leslie went back to marriage and motherhood.

    No, the lead singer is Barry and I believe this was made for the "Saturday Night Fever" movie. The Bee Gees wrote & sang their own music, but they couldn't read nor write music. So that is real talent! And no auto tune. Barry's not talking about himself being a "woman's man"; unless he's talking about his wife Linda, of whom he's been married to for over 50 years. He wrote the words for John Travolta's role. This was 1977. The Bee Gees had a lot of hits in the 80's as well, past the disco era. They weren't just about disco. And they had a younger brother, Andy, who had his own solo career. He had performed with them on stage & was going to join the group. He died at age 30. Barry is the only one left. RIP Maurice, Robin & Andy. xxx

    FYI: The Bee Gees wrote the soundtrack for the movie Saturday Night Fever, starring John Travolta, who was a total player in the film, so this is why the "lady's man" verse is in the song Stayin' Alive, not because Barry Gibb, the lead singer here, sees himself that way. Actually, Barry Gibb is extremely humble, still married to the same woman for 50 years.

    History Check: The subject matter of 'Stayin' Alive' is about survival in the streets of New York inspired by the Nic Cohn paperback Tribal Rites of the Saturday Night who was the plot for the classic Saturday Night Fever Movie. Since 1977 it is the fifth biggest single of all time with 31 million single sold worldwide 👍
    It is claimed from in a survey of all radiostations around the globe as most airplayed song of all time in 2017- every 20 seconds - this plays everywhere around the world and for sure it is the most iconic song of the 70´s decade. It’s a part of our shared cultural heritage now - one of those pop miracles that just never gets old, never wears off, never loses its charge. It remains alive. And indeed one of the most covered pop songs in history
    This epic video was filmed on MGM Studios in Culver City in Hollywood California in the filmset ruins of That’s Entertainment starring Fred Astaire from 1974 during the same time when the BeeGees filming the Beatles movie, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 1978 on the lot at the same time.

Maurice (the one with less hair) passed in 2005 and Robin more recently. Their falsetto sound defined the disco generation of the late 70s after Saturday Night Fever.

    great reaction by you both to the group and song. your right in saying that they carved out their niche when the 70's disco era came around by distinguishing themselves with Barry (the lead singer's) falsetto. They did have hits in the 60's as well. I saw them in Australia before the 2000 Olympics - awesome, just 3 guys and their instruments, kept it simple. In the suburb of Redcliffe in Brisbane Australia they have a laneway that is dedicated to the group called the 'Bee Gees Walk' which Barry helped to put together and attended the official opening. It highlights their career with murals and statues, back where it all started for them.
