I'll never understand HOW a grown man like you (lates 40s) NEVER listened The Bee Gees, c'mon Man , I could understand it on a young man, or teenager, but How is this possible? I've seen a lot of Black men of your age or close to, saying that never hear that band, How old was you in the 80s? This song is from 1978/79, I was 9 years old, and I'm from a far away country called Argentina, and I know this group since that time. Really I start to thinking that some youtubers fake this when Titled, " First time reaction to some artist" I am a Musician I love since my childhood and teenage years The "Black Music"from USA, and with The Bee Gees you can hear the BIG influence in their music.
I understand what your saying brother. But in 1978/1979 i wasn't even born and plus i was born in Africa so we didn't listen to the music from USA or had the technology to. I do think people fake reaction i see all the time but i keep it honest and to me that makes the best reaction. you knew about this group at 9 years old and i was watching cartoon at 9 lol. when i was in my 20's i'd hear jokes about them so people in my world never listen or talked about Bee Gees so i had no idea who they were. I am so glad this my first song tho i love it... I can ask you if you know a artist from my country and people in USA or you wouldn't know because it's not in your radar you know but that artist is big in Africa and other country's.
Agree with you, only issue I have is that you wrote it like they're an American group, they are British musicians and started their band in Australia, I think Barry the oldest brother was 12 and the other 2 were 9 when they moved to Australia, not sure if that makes them a British or Australian band, but definitely wouldn't be American.@@CVTECK1
Maybe, but Hanson is a very very close second! Blew me away with their acapella cover of this song. I think BeeGees was one of their major influences in music.,
Absolutely one of the best groups/bands of all time. But what’s amazing is how their music has aged with time. Better than the Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles, Rolling Stones or any other band.
Nobody in history can harmonize better than The Legendary Bee Gees! This is as close to musical perfection as it gets! And their songwriting is just as brilliant! ❤❤❤❤
As you travel down this rabbit hole you'll discover that their voices are not always in the falsetto range. The primary falsetto "era" for them was in the late 70s to early 80s A good example of Barry Gibb's regular singing voice would be the 1980 song "Guilty"...a duet he did with Barbra Streisand or "Words" from 1968. Their catalog is vast enough to keep you busy reacting for years.
Yes our song. I'm 72 years old and remember when they made this song in '78. I was married to my husband for 44 years. He's now deceased. We love the Bee Gees. We made 2 babies off that song.😊♥
I love seeing the younger generation listen to this music. I remember when this was on the radio, daily. The BeeGees are amazing. The lead singer, (although they claim there is no “lead” singer) is Barry Gibb. And the other 2 are fraternal twins, Robin on the left and Maurice (pronounced Morris) is on the right. They wrote over 1,100 songs and have also written and performed with countless other artists. Unfortunately, Robin and Maurice Gibb, have since passed. They also have a younger brother, Andy, that was too young to be in the group, but, had his own successful singing career, unfortunately, he has also passed at the young age of 30.
The Bee Gees had a younger brother (12 years younger then Barry, the oldest brother) Andy. His career started several years after them, but they were TOTALLY supportive of him. Often sang backup for him. He was supposed to join his brothers, but sadly 😢 died too young, from heart complications (due to drug abuse/addictions) before he could. But you can also check him out as well.
The one in the middle is the oldest brother and the only one still alive. The other 2 were twins. They wrote somewhere around 1000 songs in multiple genres and for multiple artists, many of them huge hits. All the procedes from this song were donated to UNICEF, the UN children's fund. It has amounted to millions of dollars. They started singing harmonies together at 9 and 6 years old and writing songs before they were teens. They did not stop until the younger brother with the beard (Maurice pronounced Morris) died suddenly. They were amazingly talented singer/songwriters who took a lot of flack because they wrote songs during the disco era that became so popular that they overwhelmed a lot of other music.
I was 15 when I really fell in love with the BeeGees in the 70s and its just a forever ❤️ love. I'm glad your getting a chance to appreciate the magic that is the Gibb Brothers ❤ welcome to our world 😊
I've loved these guys for nearly 50 years. They could sing the phone book and make it sound beautiful...... Listen to RUN TO ME.... ICOULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE.... HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART.... I STARTED A JOKE.... IVE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU..... I could go on forever telling you which songs to listen to honestly ❤
I'm so happy to see these reaction videos. The 70's was a time. A time of love, where anything was possible.. anything. And I'm so glad to see that love reach out from the past and touch people now. 😊 Love is a wonderful thing.
even Alvin and the Chipmunks loved Bee Gees and I'm a 68-year-old grandma who's been in love with all of them for as long as I can remember and so sadly Barry is the only one left alive
To Much Heaven, How Deep Is Your Love, Love So Right, Reaching Out ... and many more are forever associated with my First Love. Bee Gees are forever in my heart ❤
You like those harmonies , pull up the Rightous Brothers "You lost that Lovin feeling " an "Unchained Melody " oh it's 1965 too. Enjoy my friend. Also, if you haven't look at the remake and we'll acclaimed Distrubed, singing the Simon an Garfunkel's " Sound of Silence " blow you away "powerful"
Unmistakable Bee Gees! The biggest song they ever wrote and recorded, but never made a penny from. They donated the 10 million dollars to a donations for children program.
Fun fact: the horn section was provided by the group Chicago, as an exchange for the Bee Gees' contribution to one of their songs. Fun fact: the Bee Gees wrote "Islands in the Stream," the megahit by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. It won ACM Single of the Year award in 1987.
My future wife and I saw them in Ft Worth, Texas in 1979. It was amazing. We had several 'our songs' sung in this concert. Goodness, the memories. Our marriage lasted 36 years until her passing.
Your reaction is very good! The thing is that this and other great music was playing 24/7 on the radio and we kind of took it for granted. After a few years, we start to realize just how wonderful and lucky we were to grow up with this great, timeless music. Listening to yours and other young people's reactions, proves my point. I was 18 when the Spirits Having Flown album came out. The first 3 tracks Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Love You Inside and Out were #1 hits! Their harmonies are unmatched and no one has ever been able to sound like them. The brothers Gibbs's legacy will live on forever.
Dude, you have just met The Amazing BeeGee's. They Each have awesome voices. They are known for Disco BUT they have some many other beautiful songs. Listen to Robin and Maurice in leads but them together are magic. They calm and are in my soul.
You have got to listen and REACT to all of them! I am flabbergasted of so many people NOT knowing who the Bee Gees are! I was brought up with them ... born in 62 .... I ❤ ALL of their music!!
My husband and I used to Roller Skate to this song and do the couples only and he used to sing this to me... We dated in High School in Anchorage,Alaska. I was 15 and he was 16 at the time... We lost contact for over 32 years and found each other in 2015 and we got married 10 days after I made it back with him... It still feels like when we was in High School...
I've been listening to the Bee Gees since the 1960s. They were one of the most influential groups through 4 decades. Barry is still performing making it 5 decades of music! He is an amazing songwriter. Many, many big names have sung his songs.
They were amazing. No gimmicks , no messing with the sound just pure talent. The documentary about them shows how they never got to be showy or thinking they were better than other's. Down to earth and fantastic. When I see these reactions to songs that I grew up listening to. I actually feel sorry for the generation of people who have not experienced good singing music. I feel sorry for the " not going out to meet with people who are strangers you talk to on a good night out. Then there is no way to contact them. Hoping that when you go to the club next weekend, that person will be there and still wants to talk to you. The BEE GEES come on in the slow set. You dance close to the person and enjoy the closeness and the scent of their after shave lotion and the beat of the music. As the night ends, you may make arrangements to meet up during the week to go for a drink together and get to know the person. This all goes well. You go on with your life. Then one day you watch a reaction video of the Bee Gees and call your husband in to look at the videos. 42 years after we met. 3 daughters and 8 grandchildren later. We can still dance close and feel the beat of the music. Some many young people don't know how to communicate with actual people face to face in a social setting. Sadly they will have hundreds of " friends" on social media. But how many actual friends have they got.?. Technology is a blessing, but it is also a curse. There is so much to look at and listen to that the day is over before you know it. But you have no contact with people in the real world. With ❤from Ireland 🇮🇪
Theses are " Angelic Beings" sent to spread the love and light. Thank you for the reaction. I was born late sexties and so the 70'S bright on this and the disco. I loved all the music genres from the 70'S.
Too much heaven is always a favorite of so many of their hits. I also love the song titled YOU Win Again. I'd like to know what you think. The Bee Gees had so many moods. Just love them. So sad that only Barry, the lead singer is still alive today. He's 77 and still singing.
Our Song! And to this day, every time I hear it, tears run down my face. I miss the intensity of the love we felt for each other, back when our love was young and passionate (God rest his soul). This song is a true work of art !
Back in the day these three brothers actually wrote a song called "To Love Somebody," was written for Otis Redding. Unfortunately Otis Passed a few week before he was to record the song.
Bee Gees donated royalties of "Too much heaven" for UNICEF in January 9, 1979 It was in a special concert at United Nations in US with ten artist who also donated royalties of a song: british: Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, Rod Stewart, Olivia Newton John north americans: Rira Coolidge, John Denver, Kris Kristoffersin, Donna Summer, Earth Wind & Fire and only one no English speaker: the swedish quartet ABBA That night ABBA premiered their song "Chiquitita" which was an extraordinary success, especially in Latin American countries like mine, Argentina, in South America. ABBA is a quartet basically made up of two musicians, composers and backup singers, and two female lead singers, who in the beginning were also couples. ABBA has around 20 world hits between 1974/1982, their first hit was "Waterloo" exactly 50 years ago and their biggest hit is "Dancing Queen"; and after almost 40 years they recorded again and released a new album "Voyage" in 2021 Just as the Bee Gees are masters of vocal harmonies, so is ABBA, privileging its female voices That's why it's my suggestion that you react to "Chiquitita" contemporary song from "Too much heaven" I hope to see you soon with ABBA My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
Young man thank you so much for listening to our music. Back then they didn't use audio. Also pay attention to the words. It will give so many some wisdom. I'm blk and appreciate Music bringing all races together. Keep up the good work.
We were so spoiled. So much so that we could NEVER have imagined that we were not going to be this blessed FOREVER. Music IS the great equalizer. America is spoiled, and when it comes to music, we ate sinfully spoiled THANKFULLY!
@@dscott1392I just watched an interview with Barry Gibb and he said he considered himself Australian, even though he was born I'm Manchester and now lives in America.
Cvthe Bee Gees is my era. I was a teenager when thus song came out snd many others. When they came on the radio no matter what I was doing I would STOP and put things down to drink them into my soul. They were incredible. Their younger brother Andy was a beautiful singer as well ♥️
It was OUR SONG. Grew up with the BeeGees. They could Harmonize like nobody else. They’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame. A couple other good songs. How Deep Is Your Love. Tragedy and Fannie Be Tender With My Love. Loved your reaction
I am 70. They are the best group ever, this my favorite song ever since it came out. The bands and singers today? They are not music. THIS is music!!! And I was so fortunate to have the music of the 60s 70's and 80s to grow up to. Junk, get rid of "music" today and start playing all our music, it i 10:02 s uplifting and beautiful!!!!
I remember when Saturday Night Fever came out so exciting John Travolta just rocked that role and the music so iconic. I saw that movie so many times and still watch it to this day! Maybe haven’t seen it as many times as my Elvis movies but it’s a classic for sure.
You are about to go down the rabbit hole. This group is one of the best ever. They have written so many hits for themselves as well as other artist. No autotune pure talent. Enjoy every minute cause it's well worth it. Started in 1960 and have gone into the 2000. You will love them
This high-pitched way of singing is called "Falsetto" and it's become their trademark in de early seventies. The Bee Gees had six platinum albums before they discovered they could sing like this as well. Not to mention a few number ones as well. The Bee Gees are brothers. The one on the left is Robin, Barry is in the middle and Maurice is the one on the right side. The Bee Gees are one of the most successful bands that ever existed. They are songwriters first and singers second. So they wrote, sang and co-produced practically their whole catalog. Which contains around 1000 songs. Well over 200 million albums are sold worldwide. Barry is in the too 5 of most successful songwriters. They even outclassed the Beatles in terms of the amount of hits they had. Although the Beatles were really groundbreaking at that time and were a great influence on the Bee Gees. So, you have heard and seen the power of Barry's Falsetto, but this is just one of the groups strengths. Take Robin on the left, he is an awesome vocalist in his own right. And by the way, he and Maurice are twins. Maurice has a great voice too, but he's the strongest harmonist and a musical mastermind. After their monster succes in the seventies the Bee Gees got blacklisted from the radio for over a good decade. Admitting you liked the Bee Gees often let to be made fun of. It was not cool to like them anymore, when a radiostation played one of the songs it was always with nasty commend to come along with it. Something they definitely didn't deserve. In that time they amped up their writing game for other artists and were really successful scoring number one hits for Barbara Streisand, Dione Warwick, Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross. Barrty also wrote the theme song for the musical film Grease. The Bee Gees were super talented and for me, and for evert other Bee Gees fan we are so glad the new generations are getting to know the Bee Gees and their awesome music catalog. Thank you so much for your reaction. A dive into their vast catalog will reward for sure.
Thank you so very much young man for playing one of the most beautiful romantic love songs that has ever been written and sung by somebody that really knows the really true meaning from what comes out of the heart when somebody is truly in love with someone else. I really appreciate listening to them. God bless the Bee Gees. And once again young man, I thank you. Have a Blessed Day. Adios.
Their voices are angelic, I think it’s the closest thing to heavenly music that we will ever have on this earth. I was 10 when these brothers blew up the airways, I grew up in my teenagers years in love with the Gibbs. They had a younger brother Andy Gibb, who also had a solo career, but unfortunately he OD😢check his music out also. I absolutely❤️everything these guys blessed us with.
Somehow missed this beautiful song until more recently. It’s a timeless classic; so good knowing a new generation is being exposed to and appreciating this. Thank you. Really enjoyed your reaction and comments.
They were singing in all falsetto in this after they got good at it. This song was recorded for charity. They have lots of songs that weren't falsetto, then they could easily go from regular voices to falsetto. They have many hit songs like, Jive Talkin, Fanny Be Tender , Tragedy..
They wrote this song, Tragedy and Shadow Dancing (for their little brother, Andy) all in ONE day!!!!!!! Every woman alive in the 70's had a crush on Barry Gibb!!!!!!!!!!! They also donated every penny from this song to charity! Greatest group EVER!!!!
We used to hold hands as kids at the roller rinks ( 9 or 10ish) with our first loves, puppy love, that is ! Lol! They are always one of my favorite groups ever!
It was our song: More than a Woman. MET my hubby in a disco in 1978, fell in love and played MTAW for our 1st married couple dance at the reception in 1980. 🕺💃💐
My boys❤❤❤❤ All I can say is that you will never find 4 of the most kind and humble men on earth, other than The Osmonds. Few have accomplished all that they have; and went through hell paying a hefty price in their personal lives, as well as in this Industry due to branding and tactics. Coming from poorer than poor conditions, it was all conceived through the vision of Barry Bear, who through grind and talent along with his brothers, supported the family from adolecent to adulthood, all because they liked performing and found they could harmonize well with one another, and people were willing to pay to hear them. Yet, if you were to ask Barry Bear today of their success~he is still amazed and flabbergasted that they were even noticed. Don't know if you know this CV, but Bear who is the eldest of the Gibb brothers, is the only living member with us. It was a loss to lose Andy, Mo, and Rob so early in their life when surely they had more to share.
Good compare with Osmonds, being a Bee Gees avid fan since beginning of the 70's, but also of the Osmonds back then, I was able to meet the entire Osmond family with mom and dad several times hanging out backstage when I was a kid, you are spot on, so kind and normal people. Barry, Robin and Mo and Andy are special, their authenticity came across and was real. I was at least able to see them on the Spirits tour. We are a lot alike.
Lisa, always enjoy reading your comments & appreciate you mentioning Barry's vision from such a young age. I know Andy was really special to you, as he was to so many Gibb fans❤️

And they are British
@@dscott1392 Australian
@@FNGfishing no they were born in the UK. Spent some time in Oz. Returned to UK in 67. Then produced the hits
The word you were looking for is Masterpiece.
Nobody did or will ever come close to the harmonies, the lyrics or the delivery.
Bee Gees are pure class
Maybe, but Hanson is a very very close second! Blew me away with their acapella cover of this song. I think BeeGees was one of their major influences in music.,
3 Brothers, 1 mic, no autotune, perfect harmonies= PERFECTION ❤❤
Word
Amen😊
Yes yes❤❤❤
❤
FACTS!!!!!
No autotune. Pure Bee Gee. One of the best groups of the 70's.
Absolutely one of the best groups/bands of all time. But what’s amazing is how their music has aged with time. Better than the Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles, Rolling Stones or any other band.
And NO autotune.
AMAZING, still after all these years! 😮 Hang on, it keeps getting better!
Nobody in history can harmonize better than The Legendary Bee Gees! This is as close to musical perfection as it gets! And their songwriting is just as brilliant! ❤❤❤❤
Just Beautiful
The Bee Gees donated royalties from this song, estimated to be at least $7 million, to UNICEF. Peace out.
Closer to 11$ million by now, at least
I've read 13M
Many millions were added by the other artists who were encouraged to do so by The Bee Gees….
Well over ten million and that was years ago.
As you travel down this rabbit hole you'll discover that their voices are not always in the falsetto range. The primary falsetto "era" for them was in the late 70s to early 80s
A good example of Barry Gibb's regular singing voice would be the 1980 song "Guilty"...a duet he did with Barbra Streisand or "Words" from 1968. Their catalog is vast enough to keep you busy reacting for years.
Yes! Check out Fanny be tender with my love. Several switch ups
@@lydrummMy favorite! LATE
QUINCY JONES said The best
R& B song he ever heard. 😊
The BeeGees had 5 of the top 10 songs at one time. I am so blessed to grow up listening to real music.
Me too. Best music ever, helped make the 70’s memorable.
You should listen to How Deep is Your Love by The Bee Gees - another great song. Stayin’ Alive is good too.
I was 21 when this came out, I’ve slow danced to it many times! The 70’s was a great time to grow up, our music was incredible! ❤️
Great reaction! Definitely a rabbit hole you won't regret! BeeGees are the best! Enjoy!
Can't wait!
It's called .....perfect harmony!❣️
Nobody can switch there Voices like the Bee Gees. And every Song is a surprice. I grow up with the best Group ever ❤❤❤
I visited Robins' grave last year in Oxfordshire UK. people were playing this at his graveside. Emotional.
Wow , that's beautiful !
He may be gone but he and his brothers' music will live on forever !
Yes our song. I'm 72 years old and remember when they made this song in '78. I was married to my husband for 44 years. He's now deceased. We love the Bee Gees. We made 2 babies off that song.😊♥

Man, they're perfect. Vocally, no way in hell I'd place any male voices above theirs. As a whole. (With females, for me, it's Barbra Streisand)
they’re great and as far as Alice go, I was try some great but she couldn’t hold a candle to Aretha Franklin or Patti LaBelle
How 'bout Bobby Hatfield?
The Bee Gees are falsetto kings. Growing up listening to music like this was the best ❤ All before autotune.
I was 15 when I really fell in love with the BeeGees in the 70s and its just a forever ❤️ love. I'm glad your getting a chance to appreciate the magic that is the Gibb Brothers ❤ welcome to our world 😊
Yes...in my perfect world I was supposed to be Mrs. Barry Gibb. Ahhhh, the most beautiful man ever made. ❤❤
I've loved these guys for nearly 50 years. They could sing the phone book and make it sound beautiful......
Listen to RUN TO ME.... ICOULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE.... HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART.... I STARTED A JOKE.... IVE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU..... I could go on forever telling you which songs to listen to honestly ❤
HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART 💔
Great song!
I started a joke is such a poignant song.
They did this song in one take in a studio. He was singing this song to his wife who was sitting in front of him.
😮 wow!!
This must be how music sounds in heaven. Angelic voices.
Bee Gees have been hugely sampled. 3 brothers who wrote all their own songs for themselves and others. One of the most influential groups of all time.
I told my husband about 10 years ago that this song is too be played for him at my funeral. I have loved this song my whole life!
🙏🙏🙏
I'm so happy to see these reaction videos. The 70's was a time. A time of love, where anything was possible.. anything. And I'm so glad to see that love reach out from the past and touch people now. 😊 Love is a wonderful thing.
Just perfection. All three had this way of amplifying their voices to add in a softening layer that I have never heard before or since.
even Alvin and the Chipmunks loved Bee Gees and I'm a 68-year-old grandma who's been in love with all of them for as long as I can remember and so sadly Barry is the only one left alive
I am 59 Years old. The Bee Gees are my favorite group and Elvis my favorite Singer. Please react to the Bee Gees song Fanny Be Tender with My Love!
To Much Heaven, How Deep Is Your Love, Love So Right, Reaching Out ... and many more are forever associated with my First Love. Bee Gees are forever in my heart ❤
You like those harmonies , pull up the Rightous Brothers "You lost that Lovin feeling " an "Unchained Melody " oh it's 1965 too. Enjoy my friend. Also, if you haven't look at the remake and we'll acclaimed Distrubed, singing the Simon an Garfunkel's " Sound of Silence " blow you away "powerful"
Unmistakable Bee Gees! The biggest song they ever wrote and recorded, but never made a penny from. They donated the 10 million dollars to a donations for children program.
Honey no chipmunks here, total brilliant talent! Live, no auto tune, no lip syncing crap, just downright live, take that to the bank!
Our song. I am 74 yrs old and it is still my song❤
I consider myself so blessed that I grew up in that era.
Fun fact: the horn section was provided by the group Chicago, as an exchange for the Bee Gees' contribution to one of their songs. Fun fact: the Bee Gees wrote "Islands in the Stream," the megahit by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. It won ACM Single of the Year award in 1987.
And they do all this with their hands on their hips! Effortlessly!!
My future wife and I saw them in Ft Worth, Texas in 1979. It was amazing. We had several 'our songs' sung in this concert. Goodness, the memories. Our marriage lasted 36 years until her passing.
They have hits over 5 decades. All different styles. You might also like “Jive Talking”, “Nights on Broadway” and “Love You Inside Out”
Your reaction is very good! The thing is that this and other great music was playing 24/7 on the radio and we kind of took it for granted. After a few years, we start to realize just how wonderful and lucky we were to grow up with this great, timeless music. Listening to yours and other young people's reactions, proves my point.

Their harmonies are unmatched and no one has ever been able to sound like them. The brothers Gibbs's legacy will live on forever.
Be sure to start in the sixties. Every decade is a different kind of music. They were masters at adapting and innovation.
I'm an old baby Boomer and at 68 - music never leaves my soul.
I'm a born again Christian and I love the love; even now.
Amazing group! Nothing like them! ENTIRE CATALOG is magic!
Dude, you have just met The Amazing BeeGee's. They Each have awesome voices. They are known for Disco BUT they have some many other beautiful songs. Listen to Robin and Maurice in leads but them together are magic. They calm and are in my soul.
one song in I love them
You have got to listen and REACT to all of them! I am flabbergasted of so many people NOT knowing who the Bee Gees are! I was brought up with them ... born in 62 .... I ❤ ALL of their music!!
Your reaction makes me wish I could go back to the 70's, and hear this gem for the first time again!! It's like experiencing your first kiss ❤

I feel sorry for the " not going out to meet with people who are strangers you talk to on a good night out. Then there is no way to contact them. Hoping that when you go to the club next weekend, that person will be there and still wants to talk to you. The BEE GEES come on in the slow set. You dance close to the person and enjoy the closeness and the scent of their after shave lotion and the beat of the music. As the night ends, you may make arrangements to meet up during the week to go for a drink together and get to know the person. This all goes well. You go on with your life. Then one day you watch a reaction video of the Bee Gees and call your husband in to look at the videos. 42 years after we met. 3 daughters and 8 grandchildren later. We can still dance close and feel the beat of the music.
Some many young people don't know how to communicate with actual people face to face in a social setting. Sadly they will have hundreds of " friends" on social media. But how many actual friends have they got.?. Technology is a blessing, but it is also a curse. There is so much to look at and listen to that the day is over before you know it. But you have no contact with people in the real world.

This was definitely OUR song. 💯 🎵
Theses are " Angelic Beings" sent to spread the love and light. Thank you for the reaction. I was born late sexties and so the 70'S bright on this and the disco. I loved all the music genres from the 70'S.
Man, they really knew how to sing back in the day, amazing.
So good Andrew
I grew up with this group.
My 25 year old daughter adores this group.
i love this so so so much love your reaction .. the best men out there no auto tuning nothing but putt harmony ❤
Too much heaven is always a favorite of so many of their hits. I also love the song titled YOU Win Again. I'd like to know what you think. The Bee Gees had so many moods. Just love them. So sad that only Barry, the lead singer is still alive today. He's 77 and still singing.
Our Song! And to this day, every time I hear it, tears run down my face. I miss the intensity of the love we felt for each other, back when our love was young and passionate (God rest his soul). This song is a true work of art !
Back in the day these three brothers actually wrote a song called "To Love Somebody," was written for Otis Redding. Unfortunately Otis Passed a few week before he was to record the song.
They were flawless from their early success in the 60’s through “and then there was one”
I’m sure you’ll find that you know more of their music too!
I remember hearing the Bee Gees when they first came out. All we had was AM radio. I was in love with these guys from the first notes.
Barry was famous for his falsetto voice. Unmistakable,
This song is pure Bee Gees. Great reaction.....These brothers are incredible.👍
Bee Gees donated royalties of "Too much heaven" for UNICEF in January 9, 1979
It was in a special concert at United Nations in US
with ten artist who also donated royalties of a song:
british: Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, Rod Stewart, Olivia Newton John
north americans: Rira Coolidge, John Denver, Kris Kristoffersin, Donna Summer, Earth Wind & Fire
and only one no English speaker:
the swedish quartet ABBA
That night ABBA premiered their song "Chiquitita"
which was an extraordinary success,
especially in Latin American countries like mine, Argentina, in South America.
ABBA is a quartet basically made up of two musicians, composers and backup singers, and two female lead singers, who in the beginning were also couples.
ABBA has around 20 world hits between 1974/1982,
their first hit was "Waterloo" exactly 50 years ago
and their biggest hit is "Dancing Queen";
and after almost 40 years they recorded again and released a new album "Voyage" in 2021
Just as the Bee Gees are masters of vocal harmonies,
so is ABBA, privileging its female voices
That's why it's my suggestion that you react to "Chiquitita"
contemporary song from "Too much heaven"
I hope to see you soon with ABBA
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷

Young man thank you so much for listening to our music. Back then they didn't use audio. Also pay attention to the words. It will give so many some wisdom. I'm blk and appreciate Music bringing all races together. Keep up the good work.
You were so fun to watch. They are absolutely amazing😊
You are so kind
Quincy Jones said, "Those 3 brothers' harmonies are an instrument no one else has."
Our song!!! What a falsetto. Brothers sound alike!!!
A whole heap of people owe their lives to the Bee Gees, trust me...
We were so spoiled. So much so that we could NEVER have imagined that we were not going to be this blessed FOREVER. Music IS the great equalizer. America is spoiled, and when it comes to music, we ate sinfully spoiled THANKFULLY!
bee gees love you inside out
Every cent this song has generated is given to UNICEF.
Beautiful rabbit hole to fall down👌❤️
One of the BEST groups to come out of,
AUSTRALIA
Nice try...UK born spent some early years in Oz. Returned to UK in 67...after which most of their big hits were produced
@@dscott1392I just watched an interview with Barry Gibb and he said he considered himself Australian, even though he was born I'm Manchester and now lives in America.
@getreal4371 born on the Isle of Man....Google it
I LOVED YOUR REACTION 💗 💗
YOUR REACTION IS MY REACTION IN MY HEART EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN !
I can't wait for more songs By Bee Gees Lisa
Timeless music
How deep is your love-BeeGees
i will add it to the list thanks John
@@CVTECK1 thank you and god bless 👊
I was so blessed to meet and spend time with them more than once. Very special men.
Cvthe Bee Gees is my era. I was a teenager when thus song came out snd many others. When they came on the radio no matter what I was doing I would STOP and put things down to drink them into my soul. They were incredible.
Their younger brother Andy was a beautiful singer as well ♥️
The best trio ever
It was OUR SONG. Grew up with the BeeGees. They could Harmonize like nobody else. They’ve been inducted into the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame. A couple other good songs. How Deep Is Your Love. Tragedy and Fannie Be Tender With My Love. Loved your reaction
YOU WIN AGAIN was Princess Diana's favorite and FANNY BE TENDER was Quincy Jones and their Moms favorite R& B song! You can't lose.❤
@@renep2220 No you can’t lose. They had so many hits. Fabulous Band of Brothers
Beautiful Legends🥰🎶
Yes they are
I believe that thier name should be changed the BeeBeeGees...the Beloved Bee Gees. They are so amazing!
RIP Maurice and Robin.
One of the top bands there ever was. Simple raw talent put to great use. ❤
I am 70. They are the best group ever, this my favorite song ever since it came out. The bands and singers today? They are not music. THIS is music!!! And I was so fortunate to have the music of the 60s 70's and 80s to grow up to. Junk, get rid of "music" today and start playing all our music, it i 10:02 s uplifting and beautiful!!!!
Absolute perfection! NO ONE EVEN COMES CLOSE‼️ Been a fan since the 70’s. Us older folks adore The BeeGees.✌🏻😎
Thank you for bringing back memories of a better time!
Our pleasure!
You have nt lived!! They are irreplaceable, perfection. Beautiful xx more please.
I remember when Saturday Night Fever came out so exciting John Travolta just rocked that role and the music so iconic. I saw that movie so many times and still watch it to this day! Maybe haven’t seen it as many times as my Elvis movies but it’s a classic for sure.
You are about to go down the rabbit hole. This group is one of the best ever. They have written so many hits for themselves as well as other artist. No autotune pure talent. Enjoy every minute cause it's well worth it. Started in 1960 and have gone into the 2000. You will love them
This high-pitched way of singing is called "Falsetto" and it's become their trademark in de early seventies. The Bee Gees had six platinum albums before they discovered they could sing like this as well. Not to mention a few number ones as well.
The Bee Gees are brothers. The one on the left is Robin, Barry is in the middle and Maurice is the one on the right side. The Bee Gees are one of the most successful bands that ever existed. They are songwriters first and singers second. So they wrote, sang and co-produced practically their whole catalog. Which contains around 1000 songs. Well over 200 million albums are sold worldwide. Barry is in the too 5 of most successful songwriters. They even outclassed the Beatles in terms of the amount of hits they had. Although the Beatles were really groundbreaking at that time and were a great influence on the Bee Gees.
So, you have heard and seen the power of Barry's Falsetto, but this is just one of the groups strengths. Take Robin on the left, he is an awesome vocalist in his own right. And by the way, he and Maurice are twins. Maurice has a great voice too, but he's the strongest harmonist and a musical mastermind.
After their monster succes in the seventies the Bee Gees got blacklisted from the radio for over a good decade. Admitting you liked the Bee Gees often let to be made fun of. It was not cool to like them anymore, when a radiostation played one of the songs it was always with nasty commend to come along with it. Something they definitely didn't deserve. In that time they amped up their writing game for other artists and were really successful scoring number one hits for Barbara Streisand, Dione Warwick, Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross. Barrty also wrote the theme song for the musical film Grease.
The Bee Gees were super talented and for me, and for evert other Bee Gees fan we are so glad the new generations are getting to know the Bee Gees and their awesome music catalog.
Thank you so much for your reaction. A dive into their vast catalog will reward for sure.
Thank you so very much young man for playing one of the most beautiful romantic love songs that has ever been written and sung by somebody that really knows the really true meaning from what comes out of the heart when somebody is truly in love with someone else. I really appreciate listening to them. God bless the Bee Gees. And once again young man, I thank you. Have a Blessed Day. Adios.
You should do How Deep Is Your Love. 💗💗💗💗 that. Bee gees are the best!
Miss Jenny i sure did and I love John nice picture
@@CVTECK1 he’s the best and thankfully cancer free!
The fabulous Barry Gee in action!!!
Their voices are angelic, I think it’s the closest thing to heavenly music that we will ever have on this earth. I was 10 when these brothers blew up the airways, I grew up in my teenagers years in love with the Gibbs. They had a younger brother Andy Gibb, who also had a solo career, but unfortunately he OD😢check his music out also. I absolutely❤️everything these guys blessed us with.
Somehow missed this beautiful song until more recently. It’s a timeless classic; so good knowing a new generation is being exposed to and appreciating this. Thank you. Really enjoyed your reaction and comments.
They were singing in all falsetto in this after they got good at it. This song was recorded for charity. They have lots of songs that weren't falsetto, then they could easily go from regular voices to falsetto. They have many hit songs like, Jive Talkin, Fanny Be Tender , Tragedy..
They wrote this song, Tragedy and Shadow Dancing (for their little brother, Andy) all in ONE day!!!!!!! Every woman alive in the 70's had a crush on Barry Gibb!!!!!!!!!!! They also donated every penny from this song to charity! Greatest group EVER!!!!
We used to hold hands as kids at the roller rinks ( 9 or 10ish) with our first loves, puppy love, that is ! Lol! They are always one of my favorite groups ever!
The good ole days. Today two people on a date their holding their phones instead of hands haaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was our song: More than a Woman. MET my hubby in a disco in 1978, fell in love and played MTAW for our 1st married couple dance at the reception in 1980. 🕺💃💐
That is awesome!
My boys❤❤❤❤
All I can say is that you will never find 4 of the most kind and humble men on earth, other than The Osmonds.
Few have accomplished all that they have; and went through hell paying a hefty price in their personal lives, as well as in this Industry due to branding and tactics.
Coming from poorer than poor conditions, it was all conceived through the vision of Barry Bear, who through grind and talent along with his brothers, supported the family from adolecent to adulthood, all because they liked performing and found they could harmonize well with one another, and people were willing to pay to hear them.
Yet, if you were to ask Barry Bear today of their success~he is still amazed and flabbergasted that they were even noticed.
Don't know if you know this CV, but Bear who is the eldest of the Gibb brothers, is the only living member with us. It was a loss to lose Andy, Mo, and Rob so early in their life when surely they had more to share.
Good compare with Osmonds, being a Bee Gees avid fan since beginning of the 70's, but also of the Osmonds back then, I was able to meet the entire Osmond family with mom and dad several times hanging out backstage when I was a kid, you are spot on, so kind and normal people. Barry, Robin and Mo and Andy are special, their authenticity came across and was real. I was at least able to see them on the Spirits tour. We are a lot alike.
Lisa, always enjoy reading your comments & appreciate you mentioning Barry's vision from such a young age. I know Andy was really special to you, as he was to so many Gibb fans❤️
