- 💙Maurice Gibb, one of the founding members of the Bee Gees, is often remembered as the heart and soul of the band. His multifaceted talent and tireless dedication helped shape the sound that defined an era. Born on December 22, 1949, in Douglas, Isle of Man, Maurice, along with his brothers Barry and Robin, formed one of the most iconic groups in music history.
From the beginning, Maurice demonstrated exceptional musical ability. He was not only a talented bassist but also a skilled pianist and keyboardist. His versatility allowed him to play a crucial role in creating the complex and innovative arrangements that became the Bee Gees' trademark. Maurice was also a talented songwriter, contributing significantly to the band's repertoire. His work behind the scenes, often away from the spotlight, was fundamental to the group's continued success.
Maurice's importance to the Bee Gees cannot be overstated. He was the main force behind the band's cohesion, both musically and personally. His ability to mediate conflicts and maintain harmony among the brothers was vital to the band's longevity. Additionally, Maurice was known for his dedication to his work, often spending long hours in the studio to ensure that every detail of the recordings was perfect. His passion for music and commitment to excellence helped the Bee Gees evolve and adapt to changes in the music industry over the decades.
One of the most notable examples of Maurice's talent is his contribution to the track "Nights on Broadway." Released in 1975, this song is one of the Bee Gees' most iconic and brilliantly showcases Maurice's vocal range and ability. The incredible falsetto he delivers in the song is a testament to his vocal skills and the Bee Gees' influence on the pop music of the time. Maurice's falsetto in "Nights on Broadway" not only adds an extra layer of emotion and intensity to the song but also exemplifies the vocal innovation that became a defining characteristic of the Bee Gees' sound.
"Nights on Broadway" was a milestone in the Bee Gees' career, signaling a shift towards the disco sound that would dominate the charts in the late 1970s. Maurice played a crucial role in this transition, bringing his musical sensibility and production skills to the studio. The song, with its infectious groove and sophisticated harmonies, exemplifies the Bee Gees' ability to reinvent themselves and remain relevant in an ever-changing industry.

Miss you Maurice 💜🎶💜🎶
My favorite!
❤❤❤ love sweet Maurice. Love all three brothers ❤️
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 !
For me Maurice the favorite,handsome,with a beautiful voile.. miss him❤
Voice
I agree. He's always been my favorite.
I have to admit I liked Robin the best.
But I always thought it was Barry who had the high voice.
@@MoonlighthasmehookedBarry sang the lead on all but one of their falsetto songs. But they all could sing falsetto. They sang the harmony in falsetto on those songs. This video is highlighting Maurice's part in Nights on Broadway.
What an awesome human being--Yes I agree heart & soul of the bee gees--I like when they said man in the middle !!
When they sang together was when the magic happened ❤
Beautiful smile
Love you Mo ❤ miss you 💕 Rip 🙏🌠💗
Indeed, Maurice Gibb was the heart and soul of the Bee Gees. Also, he was the man in the middle.
@@esperhickman6502 Barry was the soul of the Bee Gees. Sorry.
@@BGWhispererYeah Mo even said that about Barry 😊
@@brcfan9 Yep.
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
Maurice the Peacemaker 😊
He had wonderful voice he was super songwriter. He had magnificant eyes❤❤❤❤❤❤
And a magnificent smile too!
@@suzannebranscomb1711 oh, yes, yes, yes❤️❤️❤️
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.
I love Mo's voice much better than Robin's🥰🥰🥰
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. 🌹💝💔
He wasn’t the sound of the Bee Gees, lol. He was the harmonizer, at best. Robin was a sound. But Barry was THE sound.
HEAR!!! HEAR!!!
@@brcfan9 You think Maurice was the sound of the Bee Gees?
@@BGWhisperer Absolutely not!!! That was Barry. The HEAR HEAR was for your comment.
@@BGWhisperer Barry was the leader, the sound and the heart and soul. That was Beautiful Barry's band.🥰🥰🥰
Forever Brothers Bee Gees LOVE únicos ❤❤❤❤
Missed!!!!
Comentarista excelente! Parabéns pelo documentário de BEE GEES, o melhor grupo musical do mundo! Amo BEE GEES para todo sempre!! Obrigada!
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.
@@willow_wise i'm mililar--I worked aft. shift most of my life & now i'm trying to play catch up--lol
Thanks For the tribute
MAURICE was een prachtige mooie man met zo veel talenten ik Hou en mis je angel in heaven❤❤❤
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... !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Barry Gibb says Maurice was responsible for most of the group's rhythm tracks...the writing, playing, production.
Yes, Mo was a multi-talented musician, adding his talents to almost all their music. He could do it all! He was a great music writer, singer and backup singer, as well!
❤❤❤
Check him out hitting flute-pitch notes in 'Alone'..."...just the beat of a lonely heart" - amazing!
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.
Thank you for that correction. I also agree with you. 👍
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 that AI (Artificial Intelligence)that does this stupid voice. I don't like it when they pronounce his name wrong.😛😛😛
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 agree.
Loved them all .
Mo had all that a more. He had a very resonant voice that Robin and Barry didn’t have.
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.
Mo has been the "Glue" of the Bee Gees
Luv you Mo
Yeah they pretty much took it all in stride😂 Mo was easy going about it anyway. He was a sweet heart ❤️ ❤❤
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. 🎶🎶🎸
Maurice is spoken like 'Morris'.
If you are trying to honor him you could at least pronounce his name correctly.
He said it correctly at first. That is how Barry pronounced it (Mah-riss).
@@roseenegri6918I beg to differ but Barry always pronounced it Morris or Mo.
@@nighthawkde4522 ok 😊
Oh brother,get over yourself
I agree! It is so disrespectful that the narrator doesn't pronounce Maurice is name correctly. It sounds like "Morris". Maurice was incredible!
Alle Gibb Boys hatten fantastische Stimmen
❣️❣️Robin & Mo ❣️❣️
Without Maurice there will be no bee , the most important person in the band so talented could play any instruments , miss you my baby.
No, without Barry there’d be no Bee Gees. And Maurice was the second most important member of the group.
@@BGWhisperer True.
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.
This being live, it was because Barry couldn't do his part and the falsetto too, they kinda overlap maybe?
2:56 @@70sMusicLadyExactly 😂
Yeah. Barry couldn’t do two parts simultaneously, live.
Beautiful man, inside and out. Bur his name was pronounced ''MORRIS' -- not 'Maur-EECE'.
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 .
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.
@@joannemarsh1 Yeah Barry is amazing but even the great music legend Sir Barry Alan Gibb can't be singing both the chorus and falsetto!!👍🥰😂😂😂
Maurice only did the falsetto on this song on stage. It was Barry who sang it on the album,bum track and in all the other songs during that era.
Pronounced "Morris".
MOST HANDSOME
Sounds like Dr. Bracket narrating!
Maurice only does falsetto on live performances like nights on Broadway. The studio version is Barry
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.
A lot of artists can sing in falsetto, Rob and Mo included. But let’s face it, no one, and I mean no one did it as beautifully as Barry.
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.
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
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!
His name is pronounced Morris.
Maurice sang falsetto in that live performance, but Barry sang all the falsetto leads as if this even needs to be stated.
Hey, your AI is messing up his name. It's pronounced Morris.
Maurice's name is pronounced "Morris".
pronounced Morris
"Morris"..... "Morris".... MOR-RIS!!!!!!!! Get it right please.
Sorry but the one doing the falsetto on nights on broadway is Barry, it's common knowledge.
We just want Robin to get the recognition he deserves. He has awesome voice
Pronounced ‘Morris’.
It is Barry's falsetto.
No, Barry sang lead vocal here. Have you never viewed the live performances?
Maurice is singing falsetto.
@@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🥰🥰🥰
It's pronounced "MORRIS!!!"
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.
English pronunciation of Maurice would be Morris - just wanted you to know.
Pronounced Morris.
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.
@@BGWhisperer Yes it is and why Barry couldn't go on singing after Mo died. And why Barry called Robin his fair weather friend.
DIDNT REQUIRE PRAISE
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.
Man I'm trying, I'll get it!
@@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.
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.
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.
I expect to hear the sound of a sheep in a field, not on a recording.
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.
