Fun Fact: In Germany Massachusetts was not only 12 weeks #1 - it is still today their biggest hit ever with mindblowing eight times gold and double platinum, the fifth best selling single of all time more than 2 million singles. Not a Beatles, Boney M or ABBA tune sold so much units like this all time classic.
@@SaeedReacts.Andy's first three releases hit number one. Please react to Andy Gibb on the Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. This was his first number one.
@@SaeedReacts. Barry also explained that its meaning represented the end of flower power and that all things change, move on and come to an end. It's also worth noting that their elder sister Lesley was also a singer and joined the group briefly when Robin left for a short period.
Dad was a drummer with a 30 piece band and Mom was a band vocalist. All 5 kids can sing. Big sister chose not to follow that career. Another great reaction. You would enjoy both the medley from this 1989 Melbourne concert but also Words from it too. ❤
Love The Bee Gee's early music especially 60's-70's. Robin Gibb takes the lead on this great song. It was originally released in 1967. Some of their other early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
Yes…do some from Andy Gibb too. Barry kind of nurtured him as well with writing, producing, playing guitar, and singing background on most of Andy’s hits.
You're right. They migrated to Australia when they were kids. They formed the band and called them Bee Gees in the town of Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia.
They have a older sister, Lesley. She also could sing (She briefly stepped in as a singer when Robin left the band for more than a year, but she didn't want to be a singer. She married in Australia, had 8 (or more) children, has a dog breeder and is still alive!
This song was a favorite back in the 1960s. I later moved to Boston MA for four of best years of my life. Their music was so heartfelt and then they went disco.
Their world tour performance were absolutely amazing..1979..1989....1997..🎉❤ This was the tour performance of 1989..🎉❤ great 🎉😊I am also exploring their musical journey.....😊🎉
Oh my goodness , you will never go wrong with the Bee Gees. From their first appearance on tv in the late 50 s right through to the 2000s with over 1000 songs all written by them. The live performances are great. I will Fanny be Tender and For Whom the Bells Toll are among my favourites but first try Time is Passing By . Yhanks for you reaction 😊
Sweet song talking about the hippy movement and wanting something more but being pulled back home. Your reactions are solid. Well thought out and smart. They had hits for over 40 years. Two of their later ones is I could not love you more and For Whom the Bell Tolls.. Stunning!
Their younger brother Andy was like a younger looking Barry Gibb....sadly died at a young age and had a similar sound as his brothers....he did a few shows with his brothers....but was a solo performer....
When they wrote this song, they had never been to Massachusetts. They have an older sister Leslie.With little experience, other than three weeks of intense rehearsals, Lesley joined her brothers on stage. "It was amazing. I loved it ... but it wasn't for me. I had my twins to get back to and Robin came back soon after," she said.
I was 6 when this song came out. I loved music since a baby so much that my mother got me a radio for my birthday when I was 5 years old.I woke up to music and and went to bed with my radio on in my headboard, remembering very well first hearing this song. Fond memories of a precious childhood and my parents didn’t hinder my journey and developing my love for music. I started a joke was another favorite of mine when very young.
After achieving some chart success in Australia, they returned home to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in 1967 ,where music producers Robert Stigwood, began promoting them worldwide, The music scene was blowing up in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 so many phenomenal artists and bands exploded into the limelight and also the invasion of America began,bee gees sensed the United Kingdom was the place to be, they had a hit record called ( New York Mining Disaster 1941 ) the rest is history,Bee gees once in a lifetime talent, great reaction thanks 🙏
The next Bee Gees video. You react to needs to be “You Should Be Dancing’” in Los Angeles. It has their brother Andy on stage, singing with them. The 4 of them together are so special! Yes, Andy is as good as his brothers.❤
Thanks, Steve! Appreciate that! Thats awesome. Probably a lot different i imagine. And that pretty far removed from eachother, right? Well for me as a Belgian these distances our far. In less than 3 hours time we drive across the country 😅
Andy sang on his own. By the time he started singing, they had been established for many years. Andy had a few big hits and died so young. I think it was a heart attack from too many drugs.
Most unique voices I’ve ever heard. They dominated the late 60s up through the 70s with their sound. Saturday Night Fever was such a smash hit. You couldn’t get away from it. Barry did some outstanding work with Barbra Streisand in the 80’s. They were all talented. Andy was becoming a big talent but the drugs did him in. More great music from my youth.
Saeed, the one song you need to react to by the Bee Gees, is their #1 Disco Hit, "Stayin Alive." We would hit the roller rinks every weekend and skate to that song and other Bee Gees songs.....we all had our little skater suites....I even had pom poms on top of my skates.....we were 15 years old ! What a wonderful time !
Thats one i ofcourse know, but maybe only the chorus. I really need to sit down and listen to the verses as well. Thanks so much for sharing that story.
They had an older sister Lesley who used to sing with the brothers as well, she still lives in Australia. Andy had a beautiful voice he sounded and looked like Barry, he was very successful too but passed away at 30 years old of a heart condition brought on by drug use, poor Andy he paid the price of fame, very sad. He was supposed to join his brothers for the "One" album but didn't make it.
Yes, there was actually 5 kids (Lesley, Barry, Robin, Maurice, and Andy) that could all sing!! Lesley’s daughter, Bernice (Beri) can also sing. Barry’s son Stephen is in a heavy metal band, sings and plays guitar, another one of Barry’s sons Ashley is a songwriter and has collaborated with Barry and Stephen. Another son of Barry was named after his Godfather Michael Jackson. Spencer, one of Robin’s sons, also sings and has a solo career. He sounds like his father! Robin-John (RJ), another one of Robin’s sons, also sings and acts. Adam and Samantha, both of Maurice’s children, also sing. Sami joined Stephen on stage to sing with Barry. Peta, Andy’s daughter, can also sing. Adam Gibb, Beri Gibb-Rhoades, Peta Gibb, RJ Gibb, Samantha Gibb, Spencer Gibb, Stephen Gibb, and Travis Gibb are in a group called The Gibb Collective. They have covered some of their father’s songs!
@@SaeedReacts. you should check out some Andy videos. Shadow Dancing Our love (don’t throw it all away) (Bee Gees did a tribute to Andy live with this song) Desire Everlasting love (This is on his headstone) Fool for a night (Peta does a cover of this song) The Gibb Collective has a video of their cover of Please Don’t Turn Out the Lights. Spencer has a very haunting sound in his song Empty Room. But he also sounds like his dad in it. Sami has several videos of her own songs. Another wild fact: they have passed away in reverse order (youngest to oldest)
Although I adore the older classic Bee Gees tracks, the albums 'E.S.P', and 'One' are undoubtedly my favourites. It is as though they reached up into Style Heaven and found all the best lyrics and melodies. 'One' Title Track ruclips.net/video/KRUeMgzOCCo/видео.html ...Gorgeous, with a killer bass line.❤
You were correct about the pronunciation of Maurice being "Morris" in the UK and Australia, but if an American read the name, we would pronounce it very close to the way that you do, as "more-eess"
Alone is more complex with multiple harmonies (as are many of their more than a 1000 songs) and also For Whom The Bell Tolls should also appeal to you.
@@SaeedReacts. Another suggestion, currently my favorite showing them recording Kiss of Life in the studio. It is an amazing all round song show their versatility and harmonies. ruclips.net/video/MWwrHhElI60/видео.html
@@SaeedReacts. Here is a link to them singing on television when they were 19 and 16 years old. One of my favorite early Bee Gees songs. ruclips.net/video/10TZf8OnsyA/видео.html
Songs featuring more of Robin. I Can't See Nobody. And The Sun Will Shine. I Started A Joke. For Whom The Bell Tolls. I've Got To Get A Message To You. My World. Mr Natural. Kiss Of Life. When He's Gone. Tokyo Nights. Juliet. Bodyguard.

Not a Beatles, Boney M or ABBA tune sold so much units like this all time classic.
Some of their 1960s hits lyrics are so deep like “I Started a Joke” and “Gotta Get a Message to You”. You’d love those.
MOST DEFINITELY 😊
No other band could harmonise like the Bee Gees 🇦🇺
"I Started a Joke" is also a great one with Robyn as lead. And my favorite by him!
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@SaeedReacts. You are more than welcome!
Love the heart, thank you!
And when they wrote this song they had never been to Massachusetts! They said they just liked the name😂
Oh, wow! It is a great name! 😄

Whenever I listen and watch their performance..I am blown away 😊🎉I need a long long time to explore 😊
This is my favourite by Robin. I listen to it often. Lovely to see clip. ❤
Dad was a drummer with a 30 piece band and Mom was a band vocalist. All 5 kids can sing. Big sister chose not to follow that career. Another great reaction. You would enjoy both the medley from this 1989 Melbourne concert but also Words from it too. ❤

"Spicks and specks"...🙂 My favorite is 1st of May, such a great song.
ITS ONLY WORDS❤
@@ChefBarb58 And of course "I started a joke"
This was their first Number 1 hit in the UK.
Yes…do some from Andy Gibb too. Barry kind of nurtured him as well with writing, producing, playing guitar, and singing background on most of Andy’s hits.
Beegees MEDLEY 1989
You're right. They migrated to Australia when they were kids. They formed the band and called them Bee Gees in the town of Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia.
Thanks for shedding some light on that!
Robyn had a vibrato!
Love the heart, thank you!
They wrote 'Too Much Heaven', 'Tragedy', and also 'Shadow Dancing', for Andy, in the same day.
They have a older sister, Lesley. She also could sing (She briefly stepped in as a singer when Robin left the band for more than a year, but she didn't want to be a singer. She married in Australia, had 8 (or more) children, has a dog breeder and is still alive!

Taking a drive can be a very healing experience. Nature is so beauriful.

Such a wonderful journey!
They sound the same. Loved them. I did not know they were still singing.Great

Barry is the only one still with us, unfortunately
One of my favorites from the Bee Gees
Can't wait!!! ♥

Thanks for the recommendation!

They started singing when they were 9 and 6 years old in Australia. There are videos that go back that far.
another hit, so so many frm v bgs
Love your reactions. More beegees plz.
Check out the interview when they walk out on Clive Anderson. Barry my love was fuming.❤❤❤
Thanks so much! Will check out more.
Andy was young and died young

You have become one of my absolute favorite reactors, I’m a 63 year old hippie from the 70’s and yea from Boston Massachusetts 🤠 but live in Texas now
Thanks, Steve! Appreciate that!
Thats awesome. Probably a lot different i imagine. And that pretty far removed from eachother, right?
Well for me as a Belgian these distances our far. In less than 3 hours time we drive across the country 😅
The only love , live 1991, lovely song with great harmonies 😊
Andy sang on his own. By the time he started singing, they had been established for many years. Andy had a few big hits and died so young. I think it was a heart attack from too many drugs.
Andy was the youngest and he died early and yes he was a singer just as talented. Barry is the only brother left. Maurice and Robin died.
If you really want to hear something incredible, try "Immortality". Bee Gees plus Celine Dion, live!
Sounds great!
Most unique voices I’ve ever heard. They dominated the late 60s up through the 70s with their sound. Saturday Night Fever was such a smash hit. You couldn’t get away from it.

Amazing song ! 4 great singers (Andy as a solo carrier.)

What a talented family! Thanks for watching.
Nice reaction! ❤ Glad to hear the older songs. Please react to Bee Gees - I Can't See Nobody, Alone, Fallen Angel, Embrace, & Love You Inside Out.
Thanks for watching and the recommendations! Definitely want to explore more.
My wife went to school with Andy Gibb in the mid 1960's in Australia
Wow! Thats cool!
Did I mention that I saw them live at Saratoga, NY.
Thats awesome! Memory to cherish.

You should check out some Andy Gibb. "Shadow Dancing" or "Love Is Thicker Than Water". Andy looks and sounds like a younger Barry.
Thanks for sharing these recommendations.
Dive into their huge catalog. You won't be sorry. Try Fanny Be Tender, Nights On Broadway, Jive Talking, Alone.
Definitely will explore more!

Did you know that when they wrote Massachusetts they had never been there
I only found out after i published this video 😄
Andy Gibb past many years ago.. same voice like his older brothers
Try Living Together from Spirits having flown album and How can you Mend a broken 💔.
Alone is more complex with multiple harmonies (as are many of their more than a 1000 songs) and also For Whom The Bell Tolls should also appeal to you.
