The Bee Gees did this song as a tribute to Andy in their 'One Night Live' concert with Andy singing parts of it with them on a big screen. They changed the meaning of the song, having the lyrics talking about when Andy hit his 'dark times', not telling them of his issues, and not to 'throw it all away'. Very sad.

Andy was very talented in his own right he was my favorite of the brother's Gibb. He was a solo artist he didn't need them and they didn't need him, when Andy died he and Barry were estranged Barry stated this is my cross to bear for the rest of my life and i tend to agree with him.
Omg I LOVED HIM , posters in my room, I remember getting his albums, yes albums 😂....hey it was the 70's..what's funny is my parents threw lots of parties and it was disco parties and they had Saturday Night Fever Bee Gee s blasting and I remember my dad telling me Andy was their brother , but I was like they are not cute like Andy , correction Maurice and Robin got cheated lol Barry was handsome
I graduated in 1981, so my teenage years were consumed by the Bee Gees, the disco era, and Andy Gibb. The late 70's and early 80's had the best music, including both rock and disco.
Ahh, disco my parents had disco parties people were doing the hustle in my living room I thought they were so cool which actually they were ...Saturday Night Fever blasting, they had a studio 54 album I was probably 5th grade gng into 6th. And I graduated 1986 I am the meaning of the 80s 😂
Andy had a very sad soul. As talented as he was, good looks & fame he never had self confidence. Always felt he wasn't good enough...that he couldn't compete & that if it wasn't for the help of his brothers, mainly Barry, that he wouldn't have made it. Sadly he turned to drugs & one bad relationship after another. Finally started getting his life, & addiction, under control in his last two years of life. But, alas, the damage to his heart had already been done. R.I.P. Andrew Roy Gibb 💔
Always will break my heart . For some reason only he really knew , he just didn’t feel like he was good enough and was insecure about himself and his ability . He was talented , charismatic and good looking . He had it all . He felt differently. RIP forever Andy and thanks for those songs that brightened up the teen years
Andy was the youngest Gibb brother and a fine talent. He died tragically at a young age. His best hits include: "Love Is Thicker Than Water", "Everlasting Love", "Shadow Dancing", and, " I Just Wanna Be Your Everything ".
Don't forget the beautiful duet: "I Can't Help It", he did with the beautiful Olivia Newton-John. Their voices were made to blend together...I miss both of them so very much. 😢😢💞💞
The cool thing about the Gibb parents is that they are also musicians! It’s in the blood!! Dad was a drummer and had his own band during the big band era and their mother was a singer!!
One of my most treasured memories is seeing this beautiful man in concert when I was 15. I was absolutely crushed when he passed. 😞💔 May he continue to.R.I.P.
@cathyhudnall6742 .. Hey, that's how old I was when I saw him. It was also the first concert I ever saw. I saw him at Six Flags in Missouri where I used to live. My cousin and I had to sneak to see him because both sets of our parents wouldn't let us go to concerts. It wasn't hard though, since he was at Six Flags. Our parents had no idea then that there was a concert arena within Six Flags, LOL!
If you haven’t already, you two have to react to Don’t Throw it All Away, The Bee Gees version they did for Andy. On the Best of Album. The harmonizing and “ad libing” at the end of the song is amazing!!! You’ll love it!
Mrs Gibb was a singer and her husband a drummer, so musicality was there in spades. The daughter, oldest kid, also sang and filled in fir a while when Robin went his own way. She was not interested in showbiz so ended up in Australia, married with a lot of kids (saw an interview where Barry teased her for having so many kids) and a dog breeding business (not sure about the dogs).
An Everlasting Love is my favorite Andy song. He was indeed a beautiful, but intensely troubled, man. I was devastated when he died. His parents never recovered in some ways.
Andy was one of the most beautiful humans (inside and out) to ever be. He was my first crush and first heartbreak. Amber, you are not alone in your fandom. Great reaction guys.
This song was written by Sir Barry Gibb and Blue Weaver, with the former on backup vocals... One of the sweetest songs i have heard... I do hope you would also react to "An Everlasting Love", this song is my favourite song of Andy..👍
There are a couple of great duets between Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John. "I Can't Help It", a hit for them in 1980 - there is not a good live performance but there is a great picture montage version. Also, there is a live performance of "Rest Your Love on Me" from 1981. Please check those out.
This was originally recorded in 1977 for the Saturday Night Fever sessions but was not released until 1979 on The Bee Gees Greatest Hits. It was reworked by Barry a 3rd time, to be released on Andy's 2nd solo album. So this is the beautiful result of that. Worth the wait. Just the harmonies take you to heaven. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
If you really want to see Andy Gibb shine then watch him singing "Words" live. For me he never looked or sounded better than this live performance. A great reaction as usual.
You ask about the parents. As others have mentioned, there's a great documentary on HBO about the Bee Gees. It is FANTASTIC. One of my favorite takeaways is Justin Timberlake discussing the vocal sound of the Bee Gees; he credits that quality they have to them being brothers. And he would know something about vocal harmonies, having had his start in a boy band. JT points out what makes the Bee Gees special: you can't get those kinds of harmonies except from those who are related to each other. MILD, MILD SPOILER BELOW: The documentary ends on such a beautiful yet heart-rending tribute by Barry, sitting alone in his backyard, reflecting on how each of his younger brothers are no longer with us. He refers to all the success he's ever had as a songwriter, producer and performer...and how he'd trade it all away just to have his brothers back again. It's so very touching.
It's so hard for me to see Andy for so many reasons. The beautiful baby brother. Barry's little "mini me". His broken heart over Victoria. The drug abuse. Mostly, seeing Barry utterly broken after his death. A talented Gibb brother gone way too soon.
I absolutely loved Andy gibb such a loss to the world. He had some rough times with drugs but still sang like a bird. I miss him so much and don't ever think it will go away he will always be missed by so many.
Loooove Andy Gibb!🥰 I recently saw a recording of live performance from a variety show where he sang with Olivia Newton-John and Abba. I lost my mind, guys 😅😂
The show was called "Olivia!". It was ONJ's prime time TV special that aired in May 1978 right before the release of "Grease". Her guests were Andy Gibb and ABBA (making their first prime time television appearance in the US).
I was so in love with Andy, I had his giant poster above my bed. I was devastated when he died. R.I.P Andy, Maurice and Robin. Best band to ever live. 💔💔💔💔
The thing about Andy; he shot to fame really, really fast. His brothers wrote nearly all of his songs, provided backing vocals, and the whole thing. The fast fame went to Andy's head a bit. He wanted to be a solo act. He wanted to get out from under the shadow of his brothers. His frustration with trying to succeed on his own caused him to abuse drugs and alcohol. Barry tried to get him back into the fold, maybe make him a fourth member of the Bee Gees, but Andy wouldn't have it. And then the Gibbs became the poster boys for the disco backlash that started the 1980s. No one wanted to play any music from any of them. So here Andy was, just on the brink of trying to venture out on his own, and NO ONE wanted him or his bothers any more. He spiraled further into his addictions after that and died way too young.
You may be right about the thing going to his head but I have to say he was always super nice to all of his fans. I got to meet him on a few occasions and he was always very very nice
Actually, Andy wrote almost all the songs on his first album, "Flowing Rivers", but Barry was brought in to write and produce two hits. (And rightly so, since both "I Just Want to be Your Everything" and "Love is Thicker than Water" both hit #1.). So on his second album, Barry wrote 4 songs to Andy's 6 and then Barry completely took over the songwriting on Andy's third (and last) album. Frankly, I wonder how much being made to be a Bee Gee clone impacted Andy. I wonder if he might not have been happier just being the "SoCal songwriter" type his own music wanted to be, instead of the latest edition of the Gibb Bros. Disco Hit machine. But that may just be the romantic in me, I admit.
He began using drugs soon after arriving in the US with his new wife in 1977, which was the reason she left him not long after & went back home pregnant. The drug problem continued & throughout his relationship with Victoria Principal, & when she left him for the same reason in '81.....then things really spiraled out of control. The Bee Gees planned a comeback in '88 & were bringing Andy on board with them....but sadly as we know he passed 5 days after his 30th bday.
Andy wrote most of the songs on his albums, particularly his first. Barry wrote the ones that were singles. Andy wasn't a member of the Bee Gees because he was over twelve years younger than Barry and almost ten younger than Robin and Maurice. They formed the Bee Gees before Andy was even born and had their first hit when Andy was six year old. In later life, Andy had wanted to join the band but his brothers were not keen on the idea. A decision that Robin and Maurice regretted and Barry still regrets. Sadly, at the time of his death, they had finally agreed and Andy was about to join the group. His addiction and the abuse to his body that that caused certainly did not help but his post mortem showed that he had been born with a heart defect that had gone unidentified and undiagnosed until his death. He was a slightly premature baby which could have contributed to the defect. His being practically the double of Barry but only the height of the twins was often attributed to his being slightly premature and always small for his age throughout his childhood.
My first concert was Andy Gibb in October 1979 at the Miami Stadium in Florida. The Bee Gees appeared part way through, since they were living in Miami at the time. It turned out to be his last live concert. Gone too soon. Miss you, Andy.
Thanks for reminding me of this one. We all felt the same way, about and had the same reaction that Amber is having to Andy Gibb. He rose so quickly, and it broke my heart when he passed.
Beautiful and so bittersweet- 😞 R.I.P. Andy Gibb ❤️🙌🏻❤️ Edit: oh ok..y’all now gotta see the 3 brothers doing a live performance ,dedicated to him after his passing, them singing this song- They’re live onstage with clips of Andy and family on a back screen- - it’s a must- have tissue ready.. 💜💙
I love this song. I remember in the early 90's, I had to find this song. It took a bit, but I finally tracked it down. It wasn't as easy as bringing up RUclips or downloading an MP3 from Amazon back then. This song went top 10 in late 1978. This is actually the studio version, which is what I always prefer. 🙂
Oh, and the HBO documentary "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is very well done. You will live through their ups and downs and love them even more (if that is possible) by the time it is over.
Thanks for reviewing these Andy Gibb songs, the 13 year old in me loves this! Got goosebumps listening to his songs after all these years. So sad that he passed so young.
“Only my Love can raise you high above it all… Don’t throw it all away…. I’m begging you…” So SAD!!! It sounds exactly like what his brothers must have been thinking they wish they had said.
Thid album came out when I was 16 and I had the biggest crush on him. It was so tragic when he died. He was so talented but had demons that won the fight.
Such a special loving caring handsome talented man. I saw him at the Fresno Fair a few years before he passed and what a show. Rest In Peace Andy. I love you and alway will. Forever in my heart. You are missed more than you will ever know. Peace be With You.
I get chills, goosebumps, when the harmony comes in in the chorus. That’s the ASMR you hear about so much these days. The Bee Gees are chill inducing, ASMR inducing. I always assumed it’s the bee gees doing Andy’s backup singing.
Used to have *Donny Osmond* and *Andy Gibb* posters on my wall as a teen. My first *Donny Osmond* solo song was *Go Away Little Girl* in 1971. Hit #1 on the pop chart in Sept 1971 when Donny was 13. Of course I'd heard him sing as part of *The Osmond Brothers.* Their dong *One Bad Apple* hit #1 earlier that year as well. My first *Andy Gibb* song was *Love Is Thicker Than Water* and it's still my favorite.
I watched the Donny and Marie show every weekend. And the Osmond cartoon on Saturdays. Oh...and I had the Marie and Donny Osmond dolls in the purple outfits.
Andy was my first crush when i was a teenager in the 70's . Loved him so much and everyone knows how much a first crush hits a girl lol. How I wish I could go back to that time , everytime I hear his music, it takes me back there for a few minutes , such a sweet time in my life. Great reaction guys , loved it !
As a kid I always remember him as one of the MCs on the TV show Solid Gold. It was him and Marilyn McCoo... Besides announcing the song countdown he and Marilyn would sometimes perform.
I seem to remember that the older brothers adored him. Think I read that somewhere. There's a tribute to Andy where Barry sings with Andy via video. It's beautiful! Vegas live
Great reaction guys!!!! Love ❤️ the Gibb brothers…… such a talented family…. Been a lifelong fan of their music…. RIP Andy… gone way too soon…. As always, like you say, you got to GIBB (give) what the people want!!!!!! Best music reaction channel hands down!!!!!!
So sad that another great talent was taken away from us way too soon. The Gibbs brothers had a great, but, yet a tragic one. R.I.P. to all the Gibbs who passed.
I love watching Rob’s reactions when his Gibb brothers sing!! 😃 And, Amber, I agree the Gibb boys were handsome! Thank you for making us smile! Blessings ❤️
Andy has THREE albums. Flowing Rivers, Shadow Dancing, and After Dark. Pick a song, any song. They're all gems. And Amber needs to make room for that Andy Gibb picture she has! 😊
Andy & The BeeGees’s parents were both musicians their father, Hugh was in a band during the big band era & their mother, Barbara was a singer. 😅😅. Barbara guided Andy in his early years as a singer but it was Barry who mentored him & gave Andy his first guitar ❤. You should watch The BeeGees live at the MGM One Night Only concert where they sang this a tribute to Andy. The entire concert is a masterpiece!
I think you should check out anything by Arron Neville , He is a big burly Black man with the voice of an Angel much like Andy Gibb , Arron sadly has passed away but is one of those singers like Karen Carpenter and many others that have a God giving talent that needs to be shared and heard and I thank you two for doing that everyday for us , Cheers

I love how Amber, who normally closes her eyes while listening to most songs, keeps her eyes open for Andy Gibb!
She needs to open her eyes to late 60s Barry. 😊
I think Amber's eyes said it all when she saw Andy in those tight white pants. I know this is me 🤤
😆😆
Andy had an incredible voice and he was such great eye candy. I grew up listening to him and the BeeGees. All of these brothers were great.
Most definitely
He was also a Broadway performer, and hosted Solid Gold. He was a talented, all around performer.
Barry wrote 90% of all of Andys songs and thats the Bee Bees singing backup.
It's just Barry on backup, as the twins only sang on 1 of his songs.
Broke my heart when Andy passed away, & I'm crying now listening to him & seeing him.
Barry's twin born at different times
The Bee Gees did this song as a tribute to Andy in their 'One Night Live' concert with Andy singing parts of it with them on a big screen. They changed the meaning of the song, having the lyrics talking about when Andy hit his 'dark times', not telling them of his issues, and not to 'throw it all away'. Very sad.
That was a great performance. It would be great for Jordan & Amber to react to it.
Absolutely I cried the whole time
You should play the Bee Gees singing this at their concert in honor of their Brother. It makes me cry every time I see it.
That was a touching performance!! Love that one too👍

R.I.P Mr Andy Maurice and Robin Gibb thanks for the music and the memories.
Andy was very talented in his own right he was my favorite of the brother's Gibb. He was a solo artist he didn't need them and they didn't need him, when Andy died he and Barry were estranged Barry stated this is my cross to bear for the rest of my life and i tend to agree with him.
All 3 brothers were estranged from Andy right before he passed away, as he started drinking heavily again.
Not true he did need them. Barry wrote all his hits, and produced his records.
🙄 Reserve your judgement because you don’t have all the facts. They were all done with him by the end.
Andy is an absolute legend.
Omg I LOVED HIM , posters in my room, I remember getting his albums, yes albums 😂....hey it was the 70's..what's funny is my parents threw lots of parties and it was disco parties and they had Saturday Night Fever Bee Gee s blasting and I remember my dad telling me Andy was their brother , but I was like they are not cute like Andy , correction Maurice and Robin got cheated lol Barry was handsome
How is it possible to have 4 brothers with as much singing talent..... Blows my mind
I graduated in 1981, so my teenage years were consumed by the Bee Gees, the disco era, and Andy Gibb. The late 70's and early 80's had the best music, including both rock and disco.
Ahh, disco my parents had disco parties people were doing the hustle in my living room I thought they were so cool which actually they were ...Saturday Night Fever blasting, they had a studio 54 album I was probably 5th grade gng into 6th. And I graduated 1986 I am the meaning of the 80s 😂
Andy had a very sad soul. As talented as he was, good looks & fame he never had self confidence. Always felt he wasn't good enough...that he couldn't compete & that if it wasn't for the help of his brothers, mainly Barry, that he wouldn't have made it. Sadly he turned to drugs & one bad relationship after another. Finally started getting his life, & addiction, under control in his last two years of life. But, alas, the damage to his heart had already been done. R.I.P. Andrew Roy Gibb 💔
Hugh Gibb was a drummer and big band leader who played for the enlisted men during WWII Barbara was a singer and played piano.
Always will break my heart . For some reason only he really knew , he just didn’t feel like he was good enough and was insecure about himself and his ability . He was talented , charismatic and good looking . He had it all . He felt differently. RIP forever Andy and thanks for those songs that brightened up the teen years
That sounds like me too in my later years :(
Andy was the youngest Gibb brother and a fine talent. He died tragically at a young age. His best hits include:
"Love Is Thicker Than Water", "Everlasting Love", "Shadow Dancing", and, " I Just Wanna Be Your Everything ".
"Everlasting Love" did not reach #1, but 3 straight #1 out of the gate is very impressive!
That's the essential playlist for Andy Gibb for sure. Great songs!
All great songs! I just get lost in his voice. So beautiful! 😊❤
Don't forget the beautiful duet: "I Can't Help It", he did with the beautiful Olivia Newton-John. Their voices were made to blend together...I miss both of them so very much. 😢😢💞💞
They've done Shadow Dancing and I Just Wanna Be Your Everything
I can't help it. Is a must from Andy and Olivia Newton John. Two Angels in Heaven making beautiful music 😇 😇🎼🎵🎶
He was plastered all over my walls when I was younger!! He was gorgeous and had an amazing voice!!
The cool thing about the Gibb parents is that they are also musicians! It’s in the blood!! Dad was a drummer and had his own band during the big band era and their mother was a singer!!
One of my most treasured memories is seeing this beautiful man in concert when I was 15. I was absolutely crushed when he passed. 😞💔 May he continue to.R.I.P.
Jealous
U were very lucky I remember when he popped on the scene and the women just went ape shit
@cathyhudnall6742 .. Hey, that's how old I was when I saw him. It was also the first concert I ever saw. I saw him at Six Flags in Missouri where I used to live.

It still gets to me seeing Andy Gibb. He was so young and it broke my heart when he passed.
My favorite tune by Andy is “An Everlasting Love”. It’s an instant mood booster! I would suggest a studio version of that one, though.
Mine too
I think it will be theirs too. Good suggestion.
Yes! "Everlasting Love" is a fave.. also "One More Look At The Night".
great song!
Yes, Andy’s finest !
In a later interview with Barry he stated that had Andy lived he would have become a 4th bee gee
If you haven’t already, you two have to react to Don’t Throw it All Away, The Bee Gees version they did for Andy. On the Best of Album. The harmonizing and “ad libing” at the end of the song is amazing!!! You’ll love it!
He still makes me cry
The second Andy opened his mouth Amber began to melt. ❤
What a loss 😢 He dated Marie Osmond briefly and she commented on what a blessing and challenge it was coming from a family of famous singers.
He did a beautiful duet of "Suddenly" with Marie on the Donny & Marie show. Clip on you tube.
Yea till he met that witch ! That was his kyrptonite ! He had problems but she really was like a catch 22 with her
Mrs Gibb was a singer and her husband a drummer, so musicality was there in spades. The daughter, oldest kid, also sang and filled in fir a while when Robin went his own way. She was not interested in showbiz so ended up in Australia, married with a lot of kids (saw an interview where Barry teased her for having so many kids) and a dog breeding business (not sure about the dogs).
Their dad was a big band musician. It was in their blood.
She filled in just one concert
Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
Ended up in Australia? I think you will find the entire Gibb family emigrated to Australia in 1958 and I'm not sure Leslie ever came back.
An Everlasting Love is my favorite Andy song. He was indeed a beautiful, but intensely troubled, man. I was devastated when he died. His parents never recovered in some ways.
Oooo, I love that song, Everlasting Love
Andy was one of the most beautiful humans (inside and out) to ever be. He was my first crush and first heartbreak. Amber, you are not alone in your fandom. Great reaction guys.
Andy did host SOLID GOLD which was a music countdown show that was on TV back in the late 70s or early 80s!
This song was written by Sir Barry Gibb and Blue Weaver, with the former on backup vocals... One of the sweetest songs i have heard... I do hope you would also react to "An Everlasting Love", this song is my favourite song of Andy..👍
This is my favorite song by Andy Gibb. He was so talented just like his brothers. Great reaction!
There are a couple of great duets between Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John. "I Can't Help It", a hit for them in 1980 - there is not a good live performance but there is a great picture montage version. Also, there is a live performance of "Rest Your Love on Me" from 1981. Please check those out.
Checkout Andy Gibb with Victoria Principal. You can see the sparks
One of the most melodic and emotional bridges I have ever heard. An amazing collaboration between the brothers Gibb.
Just Andy & Barry singing backing vocals on this.🎼
Everyone was in love with Andy❤He sounds just like Barry. Such a gorgeous voice. ❤😢
And 2 gorgeous brothers!❤️
Paler version of Barry’s looks and voice.
The brothers would often sing this on tour while family videos played on the screen behind them, in memory of Andy. Sad but sweet.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND MISS ANDY! I'm 54 and his picture still hangs on my wall.
The BeeGees play this “Andy’s Song” when they pay tribute to him at their concerts. It’s so touching…..😢beautiful song ❤
Such a talented family, together and individually, they were amazing. ❤
This IS SOOOO 70s AMBER 1977 RELEASED
I wore this album OUT when I was a pre-teen. Loved him so much!
Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John....Rest Your Love On Me ... GORGEOUS
This was originally recorded in 1977 for the Saturday Night Fever sessions but was not released until 1979 on The Bee Gees Greatest Hits.

Oh hell yeah I had forgotten Words how in the world did I do that since it is one of my favorite songs
that is a great performance...I agree
He looked and sounded so much like Barry ... fell in love with Andy all over again
Which live performance I found 2, one was from his concert in Chile and another looks like it may have berm from some kind of awards show
@@debradesjardins2803 It's a Command Performance occasion. It is posted by

Andy was so cute! I still have his album. I feel like I'm 15 again! Thanks, guys!

Andy Gibb & Olivia Newton-John | SOLID GOLD | "Rest Your Love On Me" (9/12/81)
I was so in love with Andy, I had his giant poster above my bed. I was devastated when he died. R.I.P Andy, Maurice and Robin. Best band to ever live. 💔💔💔💔

Andy wasn't a member of the Bee Gees because he was over twelve years younger than Barry and almost ten younger than Robin and Maurice. They formed the Bee Gees before Andy was even born and had their first hit when Andy was six year old.
In later life, Andy had wanted to join the band but his brothers were not keen on the idea. A decision that Robin and Maurice regretted and Barry still regrets. Sadly, at the time of his death, they had finally agreed and Andy was about to join the group.
His addiction and the abuse to his body that that caused certainly did not help but his post mortem showed that he had been born with a heart defect that had gone unidentified and undiagnosed until his death. He was a slightly premature baby which could have contributed to the defect. His being practically the double of Barry but only the height of the twins was often attributed to his being slightly premature and always small for his age throughout his childhood.
My first concert was Andy Gibb in October 1979 at the Miami Stadium in Florida. The Bee Gees appeared part way through, since they were living in Miami at the time. It turned out to be his last live concert. Gone too soon. Miss you, Andy.
A beautiful duet is Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John rest your love on me, you guys need to review that one 🔥🔥🔥
I thankyou from the bottom of my heart for the love and respect you have shown toward Barry especially over the loss of Andy.❤❤
Thanks for reminding me of this one. We all felt the same way, about and had the same reaction that Amber is having to Andy Gibb. He rose so quickly, and it broke my heart when he passed.
Can you imagine growing up as the youngest Gibb, no pressure there. I cried when I heard about Andy. R.I.P. Lots of suggestions.Thanks for the memory.
Beautiful and so bittersweet- 😞 R.I.P. Andy Gibb ❤️🙌🏻❤️ Edit: oh ok..y’all now gotta see the 3 brothers doing a live performance ,dedicated to him after his passing, them singing this song- They’re live onstage with clips of Andy and family on a back screen- - it’s a must- have tissue ready.. 💜💙
I saw Andy in concert when I was 14. It was a great day in my young life
I love this song. I remember in the early 90's, I had to find this song. It took a bit, but I finally tracked it down. It wasn't as easy as bringing up RUclips or downloading an MP3 from Amazon back then. This song went top 10 in late 1978. This is actually the studio version, which is what I always prefer. 🙂
This song was on an episode of the nanny! My favorite episode! She was supposed to marry mr. Sheffield's brother. It is a tear jerker!
I have this album still. Love it!
Andy Gibb beautiful man amazing talent
Oh, and the HBO documentary "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is very well done. You will live through their ups and downs and love them even more (if that is possible) by the time it is over.
Thanks for reviewing these Andy Gibb songs, the 13 year old in me loves this! Got goosebumps listening to his songs after all these years. So sad that he passed so young.
Love is Thicker Than Water is my favorite of Andy's. It has a very dreamy feel.
Love this song! Have this on CD.
“Only my Love can raise you high above it all… Don’t throw it all away…. I’m begging you…”
So SAD!!! It sounds exactly like what his brothers must have been thinking they wish they had said.
This brought back memories roller skating. Young with not a care in the world. Thank you for that.
Thid album came out when I was 16 and I had the biggest crush on him. It was so tragic when he died. He was so talented but had demons that won the fight.
Such a special loving caring handsome talented man. I saw him at the Fresno Fair a few years before he passed and what a show. Rest In Peace Andy. I love you and alway will. Forever in my heart. You are missed more than you will ever know. Peace be With You.
I get chills, goosebumps, when the harmony comes in in the chorus. That’s the ASMR you hear about so much these days. The Bee Gees are chill inducing, ASMR inducing. I always assumed it’s the bee gees doing Andy’s backup singing.
Used to have *Donny Osmond* and *Andy Gibb* posters on my wall as a teen.
My first *Donny Osmond* solo song was *Go Away Little Girl* in 1971. Hit #1 on the pop chart in Sept 1971 when Donny was 13. Of course I'd heard him sing as part of *The Osmond Brothers.* Their dong *One Bad Apple* hit #1 earlier that year as well.
My first *Andy Gibb* song was *Love Is Thicker Than Water* and it's still my favorite.
I watched the Donny and Marie show every weekend. And the Osmond cartoon on Saturdays. Oh...and I had the Marie and Donny Osmond dolls in the purple outfits.
They really need to do an Osmond reaction.
My former eight year old self thanks you. I had posters of Andy and his brothers the Bee Gees all over my room in the 70's.
So we got a studio version disguised as a live performance? Now everyone's happy.
Andy was my first crush when i was a teenager in the 70's . Loved him so much and everyone knows how much a first crush hits a girl lol. How I wish I could go back to that time , everytime I hear his music, it takes me back there for a few minutes , such a sweet time in my life. Great reaction guys , loved it !
Love Andy ❤ Missing him 😢
Such a beautiful tribute…what a masterful performance ❤️
Yep, Andy Gibb had it all. The looks, talent and his brothers. Just a big bummer that he left this earth so soon.
As a kid I always remember him as one of the MCs on the TV show Solid Gold. It was him and Marilyn McCoo... Besides announcing the song countdown he and Marilyn would sometimes perform.
you 100% need to watch the Bee Gees sing this as a tribute to Andy
I was around 7 years old when he released this song, and I had a HUGE crush on Andy Gibb at the time. Such a remarkable talent, such a tragic life.
I seem to remember that the older brothers adored him. Think I read that somewhere. There's a tribute to Andy where Barry sings with Andy via video. It's beautiful! Vegas live
Love is Thicker than Water
Great reaction guys!!!! Love ❤️ the Gibb brothers…… such a talented family…. Been a lifelong fan of their music…. RIP Andy… gone way too soon…. As always, like you say, you got to GIBB (give) what the people want!!!!!! Best music reaction channel hands down!!!!!!
My 13 yr old heart is grieving all over again. ❤
So sad that another great talent was taken away from us way too soon. The Gibbs brothers had a great, but, yet a tragic one. R.I.P. to all the Gibbs who passed.
Beautiful song by a beautiful man...Andy Gibb. Lovely
Written by Barry Gibb and Blue Weaver. Yes, the Bee Gees often did background vocals on his songs. Too many Gibbs gone too soon!
Andy Gibb was one of my favorite singers as a kid growing up and still is, Thank you for making this video I Love it.
I would play the 45 of this on repeat every night to fall asleep to (you may have to look up what a 45 was lol)....oh my heart
Andy Gibb was my first concert. I am so glad you found him Amber.
Lindíssima música de Andy Gibb! Pena que nos deixou tão cedo!😢🇧🇷👋👋👋❤❤
I love watching Rob’s reactions when his Gibb brothers sing!! 😃 And, Amber, I agree the Gibb boys were handsome!
Thank you for making us smile! Blessings ❤️
Andy has THREE albums. Flowing Rivers, Shadow Dancing, and After Dark.
Pick a song, any song. They're all gems.
And Amber needs to make room for that Andy Gibb picture she has! 😊
R.I.P. Andy, such a beautiful voice silenced to soon. Thanx so much, Blessings
Andy & The BeeGees’s parents were both musicians their father, Hugh was in a band during the big band era & their mother, Barbara was a singer. 😅😅. Barbara guided Andy in his early years as a singer but it was Barry who mentored him & gave Andy his first guitar ❤. You should watch The BeeGees live at the MGM One Night Only concert where they sang this a tribute to Andy. The entire concert is a masterpiece!
This was performed at Osmond Studios for the Osmond Family Valentine Special. MY favorite Andy performance. I agree with Amber's reactions! 😊
I think you should check out anything by Arron Neville , He is a big burly Black man with the voice of an Angel much like Andy Gibb , Arron sadly has passed away but is one of those singers like Karen Carpenter and many others that have a God giving talent that needs to be shared and heard and I thank you two for doing that everyday for us , Cheers
Another beautiful soul.... that went away way to soon! What a talent, & what a good & nice guy!
