    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 ❤❤❤

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.🥰🥰🥰

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.

    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.

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.

      @@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)
