So spot on..... Mo was awesome.... so talented ..... and he was the one you would love to hang out with because he was so down to earth with one hell of a personality and great sense of humor !
Mo was a musical genius. Multi talented in many aspects. I love his child like fun loving personality. We miss you so much you sweet Mo. Rest in eternal peace with your brothers! ❤❤❤
Totally disagree, and millions would agree also. Yes they were brilliant song writers, but l am 66, and l have experienced SOOO Many other brilliant song writers, Rogers + Hammerstein, Burt Bacharach Hal David, Don Black, Beach Buys, Bob Dylan, Lennon + McCartney, Carole King, James Taylor Eagles, etc etc
Maurice's performance here was amazing. Thank you Shorts Music Official for honoring him and giving him his due. Mo had quite a large range that he could sing and he sang beautifuly. All of the brothers had unique fantastic voices and all 3 were brilliantly talented. Yes Barry did it on the recorded version where they could do layers but Mo did a spectacular job when they sang it live playing the bass at the same time. Incredible.
That’s because Barry was singing his lower part live and couldn’t sing two parts at once. Maurice stepped in with a serviceable substitute at the time. And I agree, I much prefer Maurice’s voice mixed with Barry’s, than Robin’s. Barry and Maurice sounded really good together. Nothing really missing. Barry and Robin together, without Maurice, there was something missing. I’ve always said that Barry and Maurice could’ve formed their own side group.
Mo and Barry always played instruments and sang most all of the time. It was very rare when they didn't . I don't believe I've ever seen Mo not playing an instrument while singing and only on a very few occasions for Barry. They were very talented and could sing and play at the same time ❤❤❤
A brilliantly talented man, the loss of him was and still is devastating. He was the sound of the Bee Gees and will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, sweet Maurice. Forever loved and deeply missed. 🌹💝💔
I always try to listen to out for his voice. I’ve just started listening to the music. They sang songs I didn’t know they sang. I knew who they were but I now am obsessed also With Andy. ❤❤❤❤
Me too I was a LATE bloomer to find & Love their music--I worked night most all my Life & missed out on great music it seems--but Now I try to catch up.
I only really discovered the real Bee Gees a year or two ago. I did a deep dive into their entire catalog and have been a die-hard fan every since. I am sad I wasted so much time, but glad I finally got there. So much variety and talent. I really have come to love all era of Bee Gees and what each brother brought. There is noone better imo.
mejor que el de Barry ... no sé si hubiera podido sostenerlo, pero MO era una caja mágica, de belleza, gracia, talentos mil de los que no alardeaba, un hermano divino para sus hermanos... UNA Belleza de hombre y artista... !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maurice would sing Barry's record falsettos during live performances so Barry could sing the primary lyrics. Barry sang the falsetto on the studio recording of Nights on Broadway.
Begŕenzt war Dein Leben doch unentĺich bleibt die Erinnerung,die Spuren deines Lebens bleiben uns in den Songs erhalten,auch nach 21 Jahre unvergessen für mich. 🎶🎶🎸
Check out the 1997 ONO concert in Las Vegas. During the medley section.... they sang a one minute version of Nights on Broadway around one microphone. Mo was amazing with a powerful high harmony. He was an integral part of the group and deserved more attention. Miss you Mo.
I don't take seriously a narrator who mispronounces Maurice's name. It's MORRis, not MorrEECE. It's the way the Brits and Australians pronounced it, which is the correct way.
It is an excellent documentary. So, if the pronunciation was wrong or not, does not have that importance. Sometimes proper names don't follow strict rules. Thank you for that solid and complete content. 👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂
It’s not the only correct way. The French pronounce it mor EES, as do Americans. But it should be pronounced as Maurice used it. It took me a long time to not pronounce it the American way, because to me it was wrong. I’ve noticed Maurice and the others don’t bat an eye when it’s pronounced the other way, so maybe the fans can do the same.
I LOVE Mo and he does a great job in this live performance, but it was Barry who sang the falsetto parts on the record. Not sure why they changed it up here, but all three could pretty much sing in just about any range. Such talent.
Maurice himself said he never sang in falsetto. He sang high in his normal voice which itself at its highest was just sub-falsetto. Robin's head voice was also higher than the point where Barry flipped into falsetto. As Maurice and Robin were twins they may well have been alike in this.
I believe 1975,s Main Course is Their greatest album. For almost 50 years,I’ve been confused, I always thought it was Barry,s falsetto,if I didn’t see Maurice singing it on the Midnight Special,I wouldn’t have ever believed it.
You are right. Barry sings the falsettos on the recorded song/single. Maurice is seen here singing the falsetto because Barry can’t sing the chorus AND the backing falsetto live.
But, in an interview with Mo, he said he doesn't sing in falsetto. He said he sings the "high - harmony" with Barry. I forget where it was, but, I'd stated on some other video that you could hear Maurice sing falsetto if you listened closely. Then, I saw that interview where he stated he doesn't sing falsetto but does sing high - harmony." 😻❣️😍 BEE GEES FOREVER ❣️😍❣️😻❣️
They all three could sing in falsetto and sing it well. Barry volunteered to sing falsetto on the" Nights On Broadway" single after the producer Arif Marden asked if one of them could sing in a high-pitched voice. The song was a huge hit, so Barry continued to sing falsetto on more records during the supposed "Disco" music period. These records made them very famous super stars and tons of money. I don't know know why these types of posts are made on here. The other day, I saw one about Robin singing falsetto. I guess tomorrow it will be Andy singing it. None of them will ever be the falsetto singer that Barry was. Not taking anything away from the three brothers, but whenever you think of Bee Gees songs of this time period, you think about Barry's falsetto, not Robin's, Mo's, or Andy's. That's just facts.
Your knowledge is very good, congratulations, but in this live version Maurice takes the lead with the falsetto, watch the video carefully. It's easy to see that.
@@ShortsMusicOfficial I never said that Mo and Robin did not ever sing in falsetto. I said they both could sing in falsetto and sing it well but Barry was the brother that usually sang in falsetto on most all of their so called "disco days" songs and he was the one most people associated with that particular singing style. Barry usually sang the lead in falsetto and Mo and Robin did the harmonies /chorus in their regular voices. Robin and Mo were never well known for their falsetto voices the way Barry was, but they could and did sing that way some times. I watched the video and Mo does a wonderful job.🥰🥰🥰
@@ShortsMusicOfficialHe did it live only because Barry couldn’t do both parts at the same time. But make no mistake it’s Barry’s falsetto you’re hearing on the official recording. Maurice could fill in when needed-that’s what he did. But Barry’s is the famous falsetto and is what brought them their fame and money and status.
@@BGWhispereryou just cannot stand for Maurice or Robin to get any credit. They would have been over long before the disco era without Robin's voice in the 60's and early 70's. And Mo sings this part better live than Barry did in the studio version. He should have let Mo sing it on the record too.
Imo Mo had a brilliant falsetto voice. I don't know why Barry took it over. Barry's falcetto was really nasally like he had a bad cold, which I didn't really like. Robin also had a brilliant voice for a lead singer, but yet again Barry seemed to take over that role a lot of the time! No doubt in my mind that Robin and Mo wete the better singers.
Maurice : Was a consummated Conservatory Musician He could write and read Music , He was a Real Musician plus a very good singer , He was the quiet one , the Funny 😆 ne and he was a Real Classical Composer and Classical Musician that could read from a Partiture ( Partitura ) and multi ~Instrumentalist , these 3 guys were underrated but they were Awesome Artists, Excellent Musicians, they are really Missed .
No did sing falsetto in the earlier years, but once Barry found his own falsetto voice, Mo just sang backup for Barry. He was the glue that kept the band together, helping to bring Robin back to join his brothers. Mo found his own special place in the group and it was he who was instrumental in leading his brothers into fellowship with God. Ricky Skaggs actually witnessed to Barry. God bless Mo!
Barry sang the vocals & ad libs during the end chorus. Maurice only sang the high vocal harmony during the bridge section & I believe the 2nd part of the chorus on the original studio recording.
If you are going to honor Maurice for his multi-talented abilities and skills, please pronounce his name correctly. Morris. By not doing so, you are not giving this wonderful, talented man, the most basic respect..pronouncing a person's name correctly.
@@litehousegal3003 Yes he is but only on the live performance because Barry can't sing the falsetto and the chorus live, too. Barry sings it on the record. They are all three amazing🥰🥰🥰
These videos bother me. This is exaggerated and is even false in some respects. Maurice was great, most of us liked him and accept that he had a calming influence but he didn't have a great vocal range, he even chose not to do much singing, Robin had by far the best vocal range of the 3 of them. He practised and he could achieve high notes with ease that Barry would strain on. He was their first lead singer however Barry gave the falsetto a go and found he could do it so they stuck with it. And even though Maurice (and yes he wasn't French so it is Morris or Mo as they called him ) had a good understanding of music and did play instruments I don't think he could be called highly skilled, they always had a keyboard/piano player with them and Maurice would stick with bass. There is no doubt he could use the keyboard to write songs. I have loved them and followed them closely from their start in Australia approx 1963 but they did perform before that in England.
He should have dedicated his efforts more to his personal wellbeing than his falsetto. I remember him more for his cocaine abuse that led to his premature death than anything else. Good move relocating your recording studio to Miami Florida in the 1980’s. Only cost you 2 out of 4 brothers. Yikes.
Who are you talking about? Andy was addicted to cocaine. The move to their new studio in Miami was always a dream of all of them. Barry had no way of knowing all of his brothers would die.
MM-rd4wm, Boy!! You really are a copy cat aren't you? You have been reading my posts on here and quoting me word for word. I guess I should be flattered.😂😂😂 I have been saying that exact same thing for a long long time and many times on here. Again go back and check. Oh I forgot. You already have 😂😂😂 I have begged and pleaded with the Robin fans who hate Barry to please leave him alone when they talk about Robin. And I have repeatedly asked them to please just praise Robin to their heart's content with out mentioning Barry's name . I have asked them why they can't just praise Robin with out tearing Barry down .They never answer me and it's because they can't do that. It's like they know that in order to praise Robin they first have to bring Barry down to Robin's level because Barry's star always shines so much brighter. Barry never had the demons his brothers had to contend with because he led his personal live so much differently than they did.
@@brcfan9 according to Barry, “my brothers, had to deal with their demons. My wife was not having it anytime I brought drugs into the house she would flush them.” Barry had better support. That’s not his other brothers fault.
@@MM-rd4wm Why would it be his brother's fault if Barry was blessed with a great wife? I don't think his brothers had anything to do with Barry picking Linda did they? Too bad if they didn't pick out great wives for themselves. Although I loved Lulu with Mo and she has said they broke up because of his drinking so there's that. I loved that they still got along and spoke kindly of each other over the years. I like Yvonne and think she and Mo were a good couple. I had nothing against Molly except she was always running her big mouth when Robin quit the band to make it solo because he thought he was the leader and should sing every song. I thought Molly should have just let the three brothers work things out between them. I never heard Linda putting her two cents in talking to the press like Molly did. But that's on Robin! I guess he didn't learn anything because that second wife he picked is just as weird if not more weird as he was. Barry really knew how to pick women as he sure picked a keeper in Linda, I'm glad she made him tow the line and take his responsibilities to his wife and family seriously. But I believe Barry would have done that anyway as it's just the way Barry is wired. He's a decent caring man. He's always been a natural born leader and take charge kind of guy. He had and still has a very happy and stable family life. Family is everything to Barry Gibb. I thank God that He has been and is still blessing beautiful Barry. I know it's the reason he is still with us today.🥰🥰🥰(Edited for spelling)
@@brcfan9 I think they all picked the correct wife the second time. Dwina and Robin were very much alike so it makes sense that you would not like Dwina either. Barry got it wrong the first time as well. I'm sure God smote Mo and Robin with illness and cancer because they were such bad people. How Christian of you!
@@MM-rd4wm And you're off to the races very early this morning aren't you! Now my Christianity is now in question I see. Where in the world do you ever get your ridiculous thoughts and crazy as a bat ideas? I have never ever said that God took Mo or Robin or for that matter Andy because of their lifestyles so I can shut that talk down right now1 Show me where I ever said that! You can't because once again you are letting that rabid imagination run away with you. I could not care less about Robin and either of his wives. I don't hate any of them and I don't hate Robin. I don't like him because of his rabid fans like you as you all blame Barry for every thing bad that happened to Robin. That's all. If Robin and Dwina were happy with their lifestyles then good for them. I don't happen to like that type of lifestyle or approve of it and yes as a Christian I believe it's morally reprehensible and a sin. But it's not any of my business what they did in their marriage and they didn't need my approval and never asked for it. The only reason it is brought up is because Barry is always lied about and bashed on the boards by the rabid Robin fans as if he was a horrible evil person and I point out that as far as I know he was never the scumbag that Robin was.
Maurice was a very talented musician and how he harmonize was amazing but it came to singing Barry's part on the live performance he did very poorly because those are very big shoes to fill, no one can sing falsetto like Barry Gibb, period.
Mo was an exceptionly talented man. he could play so many different instruments. compose music and had a great falsetto . Miss You Mo ! REST IN PEACE
So spot on..... Mo was awesome.... so talented ..... and he was the one you would love to hang out with because he was so down to earth with one hell of a personality and great sense of humor !

Indeed, Maurice Gibb was the heart and soul of the Bee Gees. Also, he was the man in the middle.
They were songwriters above all. No better songwriters ever lived. And their lyrics were amazing too.❤
Totally disagree, and millions would agree also. Yes they were brilliant song writers, but l am 66, and l have experienced SOOO Many other brilliant song writers, Rogers + Hammerstein, Burt Bacharach Hal David, Don Black, Beach Buys, Bob Dylan, Lennon + McCartney, Carole King, James Taylor Eagles, etc etc

He truly was a musical genius!

Without Maurice there will be no bee , the most important person in the band so talented could play any instruments , miss you my baby.

Amazing. How did I not know? I always credited Barry for the falsetto. Thank you for pointing this out. I always liked Maurice.
Barry did the falsetto on the studio version, but Maurice took over in live performances.
Alle Gibb Boys hatten fantastische Stimmen
His my idol I like bee gees but his my favorite 1 my idol maurice until now
Mo had all that a more. He had a very resonant voice that Robin and Barry didn’t have.
Mo has been the "Glue" of the Bee Gees

Conservatory Musician
He could write and read Music , He was a Real Musician plus a very good singer , He was the quiet one , the Funny 😆 ne and he was a Real Classical Composer and Classical Musician that could read from a Partiture ( Partitura ) and multi ~Instrumentalist , these 3 guys were underrated but they were Awesome Artists, Excellent
Musicians, they are really Missed .
I thought none of could read music.
Wow, Maurice can sing but why did he not sing more instead of Barry. ? Anyway, he is the music director and some sort of business manager

Mo was a very talented man and funny at times R.I.H
Didn’t care about being in Front!
Morris was never jealous like Robin was.
Which is what made Maurice such a great friend to Barry.

Yikes, if you're going to do an entire bio vid on the guy, at least figure out how his name is pronounced. :^/
Figure out how to pronounce the man's name for God's sake. First it's "Morris," then it's More-rees. Try knowing what you're talking about.

@@ShortsMusicOfficial it a pretty good video other than that glaring proof that you don’t know the topic.
@@ShortsMusicOfficial You're doing fine!!! Great job!!! 👍Remember you can't please everybody! 👍😊
@@brcfan9 well that’s just stupid. A person making a video about any topic should know how to pronounce a name as the very first thing.
@@ShortsMusicOfficialSo sorry for what you've gone through regarding some fans!🫣
His name is pronounced Morris vs Mor eece. Have some respect when you do documentaries.
Good grief be kind, it’s an easy mistake to make.
@@suzannebranscomb1711 Sorry they don't teach journalism anymore. Or editing. It's a documentary and it should be correct to be credible.
He should have dedicated his efforts more to his personal wellbeing than his falsetto. I remember him more for his cocaine abuse that led to his premature death than anything else. Good move relocating your recording studio to Miami Florida in the 1980’s. Only cost you 2 out of 4 brothers. Yikes.
Who are you talking about? Andy was addicted to cocaine. The move to their new studio in Miami was always a dream of all of them. Barry had no way of knowing all of his brothers would die.
I expect to hear the sound of a sheep in a field, not on a recording.
MM-rd4wm, Boy!! You really are a copy cat aren't you? You have been reading my posts on here and quoting me word for word. I guess I should be flattered.😂😂😂 I have been saying that exact same thing for a long long time and many times on here. Again go back and check. Oh I forgot. You already have 😂😂😂 I have begged and pleaded with the Robin fans who hate Barry to please leave him alone when they talk about Robin. And I have repeatedly asked them to please just praise Robin to their heart's content with out mentioning Barry's name . I have asked them why they can't just praise Robin with out tearing Barry down .They never answer me and it's because they can't do that. It's like they know that in order to praise Robin they first have to bring Barry down to Robin's level because Barry's star always shines so much brighter. Barry never had the demons his brothers had to contend with because he led his personal live so much differently than they did.
What am I copying? I have agreed with some of the things you've said. Isn't that a good thing?
@@brcfan9 according to Barry, “my brothers, had to deal with their demons. My wife was not having it anytime I brought drugs into the house she would flush them.” Barry had better support. That’s not his other brothers fault.
@@MM-rd4wm Why would it be his brother's fault if Barry was blessed with a great wife? I don't think his brothers had anything to do with Barry picking Linda did they? Too bad if they didn't pick out great wives for themselves. Although I loved Lulu with Mo and she has said they broke up because of his drinking so there's that. I loved that they still got along and spoke kindly of each other over the years. I like Yvonne and think she and Mo were a good couple.
I had nothing against Molly except she was always running her big mouth when Robin quit the band to make it solo because he thought he was the leader and should sing every song. I thought Molly should have just let the three brothers work things out between them. I never heard Linda putting her two cents in talking to the press like Molly did. But that's on Robin! I guess he didn't learn anything because that second wife he picked is just as weird if not more weird as he was.
Barry really knew how to pick women as he sure picked a keeper in Linda, I'm glad she made him tow the line and take his responsibilities to his wife and family seriously. But I believe Barry would have done that anyway as it's just the way Barry is wired. He's a decent caring man. He's always been a natural born leader and take charge kind of guy. He had and still has a very happy and stable family life. Family is everything to Barry Gibb. I thank God that He has been and is still blessing beautiful Barry. I know it's the reason he is still with us today.🥰🥰🥰(Edited for spelling)
@@brcfan9 I think they all picked the correct wife the second time. Dwina and Robin were very much alike so it makes sense that you would not like Dwina either. Barry got it wrong the first time as well. I'm sure God smote Mo and Robin with illness and cancer because they were such bad people. How Christian of you!
@@MM-rd4wm And you're off to the races very early this morning aren't you! Now my Christianity is now in question I see. Where in the world do you ever get your ridiculous thoughts and crazy as a bat ideas? I have never ever said that God took Mo or Robin or for that matter Andy because of their lifestyles so I can shut that talk down right now1 Show me where I ever said that! You can't because once again you are letting that rabid imagination run away with you. I could not care less about Robin and either of his wives. I don't hate any of them and I don't hate Robin. I don't like him because of his rabid fans like you as you all blame Barry for every thing bad that happened to Robin. That's all. If Robin and Dwina were happy with their lifestyles then good for them. I don't happen to like that type of lifestyle or approve of it and yes as a Christian I believe it's morally reprehensible and a sin. But it's not any of my business what they did in their marriage and they didn't need my approval and never asked for it. The only reason it is brought up is because Barry is always lied about and bashed on the boards by the rabid Robin fans as if he was a horrible evil person and I point out that as far as I know he was never the scumbag that Robin was.
Maurice was a very talented musician and how he harmonize was amazing but it came to singing Barry's part on the live performance he did very poorly because those are very big shoes to fill, no one can sing falsetto like Barry Gibb, period.
Pronounced Morris.
