It never fails to amaze me how these guys, so many years later, can still make the young ladies swoon! Proof of just how talented they really were, very few like them left in the world
They donated this song and all of it's proceeds forever to UNICEF the Children's charity it has made millions for the charity over the years. So not only are they talented but also nice people.
Not only talented, but generous, they gifted the proceeds to charity, and gave the world this masterpiece. Like a gifted handful of artists, they wrote songs for many other artists, many of which were also massive hits.
I was married one year (1977) before this was released in 1978. This would have been in our wedding. Love, love, love the Bee Gees. I am a black female, 68 yrs. old, grew up with them. (A bit lengthy, but a must read.) The Bees Gees: (from left to right) Robin, Barry and Maurice (pronounced Morris) Robin (Dec 22, 1949 - May 20, 2012) passed away as a result of kidney failure. Maurice (Dec 22, 1949 - Jan. 12, 2003.) Passed as a result of a twisted intestine. He was in the hospital for 2 days. Barry said he had a heart attack, but the doctors still operated. He left behind his wife, Yvonne and two children. Robin left behind his wife, Dwina and 4 children. Maurice and Robin were fraternal twins. Andy Gibb, the youngest brother, had his own successful career. He was 12 yrs younger than Barry. He and Barry looked so much alike, that they could had been twins. Andy passed away in 1988, at the age of 30. Barry stated that Andy lived the 'LA lifestyle' involving drugs, and he had heart problems. Andy left behind a daughter. The brothers wrote all of his songs. Barry stated, "I am the last man standing." He was born September 1, 1946. He has 5 adult children and 7 grandkids. On September 1, 2023, he and his wife Linda will celebrate their 53rd wedding anniversary. (They were married on his 24th birthday.) On a side note, the first born is their sister, Lesley, who turned 78 January 12, 2023. Maurice passed on the same day as her 58th birthday. Lesley didn't have an interest to be in the limelight, but she can sing. At about the age of 2, Barry reached on the table and a pot of hot tea fell on his chest and arms. You can see the shine on his chest. His mom said he almost died, and he did not talk for almost 2 yrs. Skin grafts were not used in the 40s, so he was in the hospital for a long time. They wrote all of their songs, and songs for other singers, which they sang after the songs were released by the other singers. The brothers have a VERY IMPRESSIVE catalogue of songs! I recommend the following songs: Staying Alive ruclips.net/video/I_izvAbhExY/видео.htmlsi=eyCf1YX82i7bGaeL How Deep Is your Love? ruclips.net/video/XpqqjU7u5Yc/видео.html Closer Than Close ruclips.net/video/m6XIdjEHLRs/видео.html One ruclips.net/video/KRUeMgzOCCo/видео.html You Win Again ruclips.net/video/KZY9oYSSjFI/видео.html Spirits (Having Flown) ruclips.net/video/ONmVEJnxysc/видео.html Bodyguard ruclips.net/video/Fx5XwIKCs3o/видео.html Emotion (written for Samantha Sang) ruclips.net/video/b_wTZjo9azk/видео.html (Destiny Child's was a cover. Nice harmony, but crazy video. Who pours bleach on someone's clothes?) Barry said he liked it. Can we say, "Royalties." At one time, 5 of their songs were in the top 10. Another time, four of the songs that were written by them, for others, were in the top 5. A song that Barry wrote for Andy was #2, but then it went to #1, and the Bee Gees song became #2! December 2023, Barry Gibb and 4 other entertainers will be recognized for their contribution to the entertainment industry. Kennedy Center Honors. I'm sure this will be a very emotional time for Barry Gibb. As children, Robin liked to set fires. The constables - (police) asked his parents to move or their sons would be put in reform school. Barry was a ladies' man. He kept rings for different girls. Maurice was quiet. He liked photography.
You should notice, three singers, one mike. Their harmony has to be perfect since no post production tweaking is possible. That is the level of talent these guys had.
They sure had that and sure did that, live especially and for sure in the early days, but isn’t this just a video recorded to the already mixed studio version, with at times more than three vocal tracks? (Like Barry adding high notes on top of their harmony with him also in it..?)
@@Silber7 - I think it all depended on how they wrote any song . . . most of them could be sung live quite easily for them. But some like this one with so many harmonies involved was just too difficult to do live . . . from what I recall now, I think this one had up to 8 multi-layers of them put together for some parts - and then they also sang it live here as well along with the live band/orch playing in just 1 take . . .
@@Silber7 I think older people like me who lived through that era are so excited to showcase this music to the younger generations that we can overstate things sometimes. They were an amazing talent, but like all music videos that aren't actual live concerts, we're listening to the studio album version of the song with all the multi-tracking. It doesn't take anything at all away from their talent. We're right about one thing, however; no auto tune.
Maurice and Robin are twins… I just learned about this recently, watching RUclips. Very talented brothers, all of them.💗 No auto tune, just pure and beautiful singing.💖
BarryGibb is the one in the middle. Don’t forget about his brother Andy Gibb !!! he went solo from the rest of his brothers, because he was the youngest
When Barry first sings " ooh, me and you girl ", I have to admit, it gives me chills every time I hear it. So many years later, I'm 55 now, and I still love the anticipation I feel waiting for that line to drop.
The underrated aspect of Barry Gibbs' vocals is often singing in those higher registers , falsetto is extremely hard technically. For any great singer this is always their greatest challenge in my opinion. Barry mastered it . He primarily used this in all of his songs.
Bee Gees are phenomenal. They could sing any genre and their vocals, harmonies and their prolific songwriting made them one of the most influential artists in pop music history. Please react to LOVE SO RIGHT, thank you. ❤❤❤
They weren't just singers, unlike today. Maurice, Barry and Robin also played instruments. And let's not forget about Andy, even though he had a solo career.
*ALL THE SONGS* they wrote for other artists too. Islands in the Stream for Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Chain Reaction for Diana Ross, Woman in Love for Barbra Streisand, the title song for Grease, the songs for Saturday Night Fever, To Love Somebody which was written for Otis Redding but he died before he could record it... and more.
I remember being a child when they were at their peak and their music was played so much all over the radio, tv, you couldn’t ride the bus to school without hearing them. We began to take their talent for granted. Some 40 plus years later Im constantly blown away by what we had during that era. Priceless and timeless.
Started singing together in the 1950’s. Hits in the 60’s through the 2000’s. 5 decades of hits. The only group to ever have 5 songs in the top ten at the same time. The fabulous Brothers Gibb wrote all of their own songs, and wrote for other artists. They wrote over 1,000 songs.
Berry is in the middle and the Twins are Maurice & Robin - robin is the short hair guy----there will never be anyone that can sing better than the brother Gibb's there was one more Gibb brother but Andy passed away way to soon.
This is an example of what they call "Blood Harmony". For some reason, when you get a group of family members singing together, they way their voices blend is almost other-worldly.
They are one of the best selling groups of all time, had best selling albums in four decades, wrote hundreds of songs for themselves and other artists and they are still underrated as writers and singers. No autotune, 3 singing into one mic and sounds like that. Crazy! The tallest brother Barry in the only still alive. Andy is the youngest, 4th brother who also had a successful solo career. React to more of their songs!
The Bee Gees are the 2nd most successful songwriters in music history according to the Guinness Book Of World Records, had 5 songs in the top 10 in the Spring of 1978, 6 consecutive number 1's, and 3rd on Billboards Hot 100. Could sing and play Rock, R&B, Folk, Country, and Gospel. These dudes are untouchable.
@@tonya6107, that’s probably because they looked it them objectively. The Rolling Stones made a top 100 songwriter list and the The Bee Gees landed at 93. Vast majority that ranked higher on that list wrote far fewer total songs and top hits.
@@Sunlover42 Rolling Stone is full of it! They rank the Bee Gees so low it's a joke, they blow the Beatles away, and they were average vocalists at best.
Why do people get this so wrong? It's a fantastc song, but it's certainly not 3 singing into one mic. You must be deaf if you think that. This is the mixing. The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:
So cute to watch you get that dreamy starstruck look on your face…I do too! They’re that good! In Barry’s Broken Heart documentary, one of the interviewees said “when you’ve got brothers singing together, it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”.
Well I didn’t plan on crying today but every time I hear The Bee Gees I think of my mom. She would listen to them when she would clean or garden. It just brings back some memories I miss. I hope you can hear them in heaven mama. I love and miss you.
I was at the sold out MGM Gran garden in 1997 to see the BEE GEES live one night nly show, They were on the top of the game...NO AUTO TUNE...Barry is the front man and lead singer Robin usually stands to barrys left and Mauriice plays the piono, organ ,guitiar and sing in a litl lower regeter
I loved your reaction to this, Aileen. It is a beautiful song, you're right they were such a talented family, they had another younger brother, Andy Gibb, who had some solo singles and used to join his older brothers on stage at times. The three brothers, Barry, the lead vocalist here, Robin the one on the right without facial hair, and Maurice, only Barry is still alive now. They started performing when they were children. This was released in the Autumn of 1979. I hope that this helps, Aileen?
@@darlenecherbak4042Yes, he did, from us both. There's another reaction channel that's done a couple or a few reactions to Andy Gibb's songs. Rob Squad reactions, if you want to check them out, the last one was a few weeks ago.
I honestly can't think of a male group that can compare to the BeeGees. Forget the Temptations or Back Street Boys or Boyz2Men. It's like comparing good, great to OMG 😂 You can only think of a few girls' groups who could pull off this insane level of vocal ability plus harmonic fullness. And this doesn't even call into question the lyrics. This song is simply one of the most beautifully written songs in pop music history.
What incredible talent they are have been listening to them since the 70s and all done with no autotune or special mics. One mic and 3 singers amazing talent.
It never seemed fair to me - Barry got the looks, the hair, the height, voice (of course they all sound great), and now he is the last one alive. Maybe it's just me.
Great reaction, Aileen! The Bee Gees are awesome singers, songwriters and performers! To my ears their early material is their best and I would recommend "Words", "How Can You Mend An Open Heart" and "To Love Somebody" as songs you will love! But honestly I will be here for any of their songs you choose to react to! The brothers were from The United Kingdom, though they had some early success when living in Australia!
HI AT SOME POINT IN TIME BEE GEES WHERE PLAYED EVERY 20 SEK SOME PLACE ON EARTH, U LOOK GORGEOUS, GREAT REACTION, THEY ARE ONE OF A KIND. LOVE FROM DENMARK
Bright Angel Aileen, the glowing smile on your beautiful face and the light in your eyes was "Too Much Heaven." It's incredible how music can change the world because it can change your emotions and heart, just like this song did to you. Thanks for the great commentary and hard work.
You should definitely check out more Bee Gees, Staying Alive, Night Fever, Tragedy, You Win Again,, and I think you'd love Immortality, a duet with Celine Dion. They are an amazing group with the lead singer Barry Gibb, and brothers Robin and Maurice. Totally unique band, unique voices, unique harmonizing, What's not to love? Great to see you swoon!!!
I've seen many of your reactions to songs of every genre out there, but I have never seen you smile as big and as much as in this video. Bee-Gees still got it!
I was A Junior in High school when this song came out I remember first school dance I asked the Girl of my Dreams to the Dance she said yes 40 + years Later we are still Dancing too this Classic this is real Music
You have just started at the top of a big deep rabbit hole. You should listen to more Bee Gees. This group has been around since the early 60's and have music up to around 2003. When Mourice passed away, and in 2012 Robin passed away. But everyone who has listened to their music in these reaction videos has all said they have never heard one song that they didn't like. You really don't know what your missing.
Your new found love for the Brother Gibb is very enlightening! There are so many more hundreds of songs to dig into, so you are in for the most amazingly beautiful ride of your life!!! Here are a few more starters to react to... Fanny (be tender with my love), Staying Alive, Love So Right, Love You Inside Out!! You will be ecstatic that you dove into the rabbit hole of greatness ❤❤❤
Yeah they were incredible! Truly unique and genuinely talented. Thank you for giving this awesome review of the Bee Gees as they deserve it. Have a nice day!
I didn't recognize the song from the title, but a split second of hearing it was all I needed. The Bee Gees were my mother's band when I was a small boy.
Barry Just had a birthday 77 years old. Maurice on the right passed away in 2003. Robin on the left passed away in 2012. They also had a younger brother Andy Gibb who had a solo career. He did have drug & alcohol addictions and it weakend his heart and he passed away in 1980 just after he turned 30. They were all amazing. Check out some of Andy Gibbs songs.
We just watched you fall in love with Barry Gibb…. And millions and millions and millions of women did the EXACT SAME thing back in the day….Great reaction.
One of the greatest things about Barry is that he literally could have chosen any woman he wanted back in the day.......and he DID......his wife Linda......54 years later they are still happily married. Amazing.
Robin has a unique sounding voice, it trembles when he sings and it sounds like he’s crying in some songs with his voice hi lighted. Check out their disco era, Staying Alive, Nights on Broadway, Night Fever, Fanny be Tender with my Love. After disco era, One, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Their earlier music was also sooo good, Run to Me, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Words, I Started a Joke….there’s just too many to even mention them all
Thanks for such a sincere and heartfelt reaction. The BeeGees are the epitome of harmony and songwriting. No autotune, beautiful lyrics etc. Make sure to react to Stayin Alive, Tragedy, Alone, Night Fever, you should be Dancing, More than Woman etc. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
If you've never heard the BeeGees' song, "Stayin' Alive," or watched the movie, "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta, I highly recommend that song and video. It's a very different kind of song from the BeeGees, which demonstrates their exceptional range as singers and songwriters. By the way, the tallest lead singer is the oldest brother, Barry. The other bearded one is Maurice, and the clean-shaven one is Robin. They're twins.
So the one in the middle is Barry. He’s the oldest and generally the lead singer. The clean shaven on Barry’s right is Robin. The one on Barry’s left with a beard, mustache and balding is Maurice (pronounced Morris). Both Robin and Maurice are gone now (Maurice for about 20 years and Robin for just over 10). There was a fourth brother named Andy. He was the youngest. He was primarily a solo artist but did perform with his older brothers from time to time. Andy died in 1988 at the age of 30 from natural causes stemming from years of substance abuse. So today, Barry is technically the only one left though he does perform quite a bit with his oldest son, Stephen Gibb.
@@TheDreamtheaterlover True. As I recall, it wasn’t until Barry started using that falsetto voice that he became the lead singer. And even after that, there were songs like “Massachusetts” where Robin was still the lead.
@@amtrak7394No. Just to name a couple of their early songs, Barry sang lead on "Words" and "To Love Somebody" and he did not sing falsetto. The falsetto came along later.
Watching you react to this song was very pleasant for me. I know you truly enjoyed the song your smile gave it away to me. There is a song that they wrote and sang that is now saving lives. The American Heart Association has adopted "Stayin' Alive" as the beat to do CPR to. When you listen to it you will know the rhythm to do the chest compressions .
I am having fun listening to your reaction! You nailed it with you reading of these fabulous brothers! Check out the song "Massachusetts" with Robin on the left here as lead vocalist! The most eerie and beautiful vibrato in his voice
This was my first time sitting in with you today, thank you for allowing me to do that. I enjoyed the time i spent here so I subscribed and left a like while I was here! Thank you for your fabulous reaction!
They are incredible God rest the ones in heaven. Their youngest Brother Andy was as gifted as they are and was getting ready to join them but tragically passed away too soon as well as Robin and Maurice. They were Superb. Thank God for the invention of sound recording so we can enjoy them eternally.
Bee Gees has always been one of my favorites! So glad you finally reacted to this song. Watching your facial expressions change with your hand gestures made me smile big time!
love the way the chorus merges back in each time, then the bridge and the climax and back into the chorus - the song structure is very good, as well as the performance.
Absolutely phenomenal talented Bee Gees , Barry the eldest brother in the middle, on the left Robin and on the right Maurice, Robin and Maurice are Twins, Bee Gees first and foremost always considered themselves songwriters before being vocalists, they have written many hit songs for other famous artists, including Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick,Frankie Valli, Yvonne Elliman ,Olivia Newton John, also for films ( Saturday Night Fever) and (Grease) both films staring the Hollywood actor John Travolta, Bee Gees have a vast catalog of songs over 6 decades, and have sold over 250 million records worldwide , the brothers originally from the Isle Of Man 🇮🇲 an island of the coast of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, later moving to mainland United Kingdom 🇬🇧 then emigrated to Australia, but they new the music scene was in the United Kingdom so they moved back and forth from America to Uk, and toured worldwide, I actually attended a Bee Gees concert in Las Vegas in 1997 they were phenomenal live, great reaction thanks 🙏
Indeed, they were born to sing together, & when youngest brother Andy occasionally joined them, the 4-part harmony was extraordinary. Thanks for your reaction.
This was from 1976. If you see and listen to their One Night Only from Vegas in 1997, they still had it over the years. Sadly we lost Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb and little brother Andy Gibb but we still have Barry (the middle guy with the voice). They are from Australia and have been performing since the 60s. Thank you for sharing
I enjoy your reactions because you really seem to enjoy new to you music. The Brothers wrote the songs and music for Barbara Streisand's album "Guilty". Barry sings "guilty" with her. For some reason no one reacts to Barbara, maybe because everyone knows her. She did a live concert in her backyard and Barry shows up for a couple songs. If you react to those choose the live concert version. You won't be disappointed..
Thank you Aileen for this good song . I know Bee Gees since a long time because i am like Barry for age . I love them and your smile too ... Merci encore Mademoiselle .
You should react to TIME IS PASSING BY. Barry had that same confidence at age 13. He knew at 8 years old what he was going to do. They not only had the natural gift and dream, but even as kids had such a passion and work ethic that was needed to achieve their decades of success.
The crazy part is they had been performing on TV for about 20 when this song came out. There is a video on youtube of them in black in white in the 1950s.
their best song ever, by the Bee Gees , IMO....even though I love the disco songs...(I am a heavy metal fan, but was born in 70') that's Barry....he's got the most unique voice...and of course, the brother not shown/ Andy as well...I'm surprised you didn't tear up
The Bee Gees were 4 musical brothers which included the youngest brother Andy Gibb. The brothers performing from left to right were Robin, Barry and Maurice, with Barry being the only one still alive. The Bee Gees started in the 60s, but didn't become well known until the late 70s when they performed many songs for the movie Saturday Night Fever. Andy performed with them on occasion and had short solo career. But drugs and alcohol cut his life short. He was married to Victoria Principle in the 80s.
So much history here. This one is my favorite. They had the best harmonies in the business for sure. Try Fanny Be Tender With My Love next. You won’t be disappointed.
Middle singer is Barry Gibb. Other two are twins (don't recall their names). They had a fourth brother, Andy I think, who mainly performed solo. Barry is the only survivor among the four, the eldest, and the person who formed the band. The band name is either from Barry Gibb's initials, or, more likely, from the Brothers Gibb. Or both. Titans of music. British, I think. Thanks for reacting to these favorites!
Maurice and Robin are the twins. The name was taken from Brothers Gibb. Andy died young of an OD. Maurice died suddenly in his 50s of a bowel obstruction ( twisted). Robin died just over a decade ago of cancer.
It's still funny watching women have the same reactions to the Bee Gees 50 yrs. later. lol
hell I'm a guy and I love them all but Robin and Andy will always be my favorites
One of the best groups ever!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung by one of the most incredible groups ever in the history of of music.
It never fails to amaze me how these guys, so many years later, can still make the young ladies swoon! Proof of just how talented they really were, very few like them left in the world
Sadly Barry is the only one still with us.
They were the panty droppers back in the day. R. I. P. Robin and Maurice, we love and miss you!🫶
What a great point!
Why would it be any different 40 or 50 years later? The recording hasn't changed and neither have young women's ears.
They donated this song and all of it's proceeds forever to UNICEF the Children's charity it has made millions for the charity over the years. So not only are they talented but also nice people.
think it is around $13 million they have raised.
Oh wow thank you for sharing that information ❤
Wow
Not only talented, but generous, they gifted the proceeds to charity, and gave the world this masterpiece. Like a gifted handful of artists, they wrote songs for many other artists, many of which were also massive hits.
I was married one year (1977) before this was released in 1978. This would have been in our wedding.
Love, love, love the Bee Gees. I am a black female, 68 yrs. old, grew up with them. (A bit lengthy, but a must read.) The Bees Gees: (from left to right) Robin, Barry and Maurice (pronounced Morris)
Robin (Dec 22, 1949 - May 20, 2012) passed away as a result of kidney failure.
Maurice (Dec 22, 1949 - Jan. 12, 2003.) Passed as a result of a twisted intestine. He was in the hospital for 2 days. Barry said he had a heart attack, but the doctors still operated. He left behind his wife, Yvonne and two children. Robin left behind his wife, Dwina and 4 children. Maurice and Robin were fraternal twins.
Andy Gibb, the youngest brother, had his own successful career. He was 12 yrs younger than Barry. He and Barry looked so much alike, that they could had been twins. Andy passed away in 1988, at the age of 30. Barry stated that Andy lived the 'LA lifestyle' involving drugs, and he had heart problems. Andy left behind a daughter. The brothers wrote all of his songs.
Barry stated, "I am the last man standing." He was born September 1, 1946. He has 5 adult children and 7 grandkids. On September 1, 2023, he and his wife Linda will celebrate their 53rd wedding anniversary. (They were married on his 24th birthday.)
On a side note, the first born is their sister, Lesley, who turned 78 January 12, 2023. Maurice passed on the same day as her 58th birthday. Lesley didn't have an interest to be in the limelight, but she can sing.
At about the age of 2, Barry reached on the table and a pot of hot tea fell on his chest and arms. You can see the shine on his chest. His mom said he almost died, and he did not talk for almost 2 yrs. Skin grafts were not used in the 40s, so he was in the hospital for a long time.
They wrote all of their songs, and songs for other singers, which they sang after the songs were released by the other singers. The brothers have a VERY IMPRESSIVE catalogue of songs! I recommend the following songs:
Staying Alive ruclips.net/video/I_izvAbhExY/видео.htmlsi=eyCf1YX82i7bGaeL
How Deep Is your Love? ruclips.net/video/XpqqjU7u5Yc/видео.html

Barry did this in the studio.There are dozens of overdubs and it was very well staged.Google it if you doubt me.
Still a beautiful masterpiece
There will never be another Bee Gees!
Barry is in the middle ,Robin is on the left and Maurice on the right
And Barry is the only one alive now
Also their younger brother Andy was as talented. He had some big hits in the 70’s as well.
They don't make music like this anymore. To bad huh.
Maurice and Robin are twins… I just learned about this recently, watching RUclips. Very talented brothers, all of them.💗 No auto tune, just pure and beautiful singing.💖
Barry got swag
BarryGibb is the one in the middle.
Don’t forget about his brother Andy Gibb !!! he went solo from the rest of his brothers, because he was the youngest
When Barry first sings " ooh, me and you girl ", I have to admit, it gives me chills every time I hear it. So many years later, I'm 55 now, and I still love the anticipation I feel waiting for that line to drop.
This is what love songs used to sound like. The songs were written to the girl, not about her.
EXACTLY!!!
I had the exact same thought. These are love letters to, not bragging about women.
Nobody has been in love since the 70s
The underrated aspect of Barry Gibbs' vocals is often singing in those higher registers , falsetto is extremely hard technically. For any great singer this is always their greatest challenge in my opinion. Barry mastered it . He primarily used this in all of his songs.

If a man doesn't feel this way about his love for a woman, he doesn't love her. This is the depth we must strive for fellas.

They are one of the best selling groups of all time, had best selling albums in four decades, wrote hundreds of songs for themselves and other artists and they are still underrated as writers and singers. No autotune, 3 singing into one mic and sounds like that. Crazy! The tallest brother Barry in the only still alive. Andy is the youngest, 4th brother who also had a successful solo career. React to more of their songs!
Barry, Maurice & Robin (twins).
The Bee Gees are the 2nd most successful songwriters in music history according to the Guinness Book Of World Records, had 5 songs in the top 10 in the Spring of 1978, 6 consecutive number 1's, and 3rd on Billboards Hot 100. Could sing and play Rock, R&B, Folk, Country, and Gospel. These dudes are untouchable.
@@tonya6107, that’s probably because they looked it them objectively. The Rolling Stones made a top 100 songwriter list and the The Bee Gees landed at 93. Vast majority that ranked higher on that list wrote far fewer total songs and top hits.
@@Sunlover42 Rolling Stone is full of it! They rank the Bee Gees so low it's a joke, they blow the Beatles away, and they were average vocalists at best.
Why do people get this so wrong? It's a fantastc song, but it's certainly not 3 singing into one mic. You must be deaf if you think that. This is the mixing.
The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:
So cute to watch you get that dreamy starstruck look on your face…I do too! They’re that good! In Barry’s Broken Heart documentary, one of the interviewees said “when you’ve got brothers singing together, it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”.
ALL THREE brothers are musically gifted.? ACTUALLY ALL 4
No need to be rude dude.
@@gregd6706 Not rude just fact. Get a life
This is a favorite song to me,glad you loved it
the song becomes even more beautiful when we know that they donated all profits to charitable purposes.
Well I didn’t plan on crying today but every time I hear The Bee Gees I think of my mom. She would listen to them when she would clean or garden. It just brings back some memories I miss. I hope you can hear them in heaven mama. I love and miss you.
I was at the sold out MGM Gran garden in 1997 to see the BEE GEES live one night nly show, They were on the top of the game...NO AUTO TUNE...Barry is the front man and lead singer Robin usually stands to barrys left and Mauriice plays the piono, organ ,guitiar and sing in a litl lower regeter
My daughters favorite song...she 15....awesome tune.
I was lucky enough to grow up with the Bee Gees. Nice to see you discover the magic!
I loved your reaction to this, Aileen. It is a beautiful song, you're right they were such a talented family, they had another younger brother, Andy Gibb, who had some solo singles and used to join his older brothers on stage at times. The three brothers, Barry, the lead vocalist here, Robin the one on the right without facial hair, and Maurice, only Barry is still alive now. They started performing when they were children. This was released in the Autumn of 1979. I hope that this helps, Aileen?
I loved all the brothers. Andy was my first concert. I had a massive crush on him - it's sad he gets forgotten sometimes. Rip Andy.❤
@@darlenecherbak4042 Yes, it is sad, particularly as he died so young, that is probably why he's not better known about.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. For sure. But he just got some love after all these years. 🎶
@@darlenecherbak4042Yes, he did, from us both. There's another reaction channel that's done a couple or a few reactions to Andy Gibb's songs. Rob Squad reactions, if you want to check them out, the last one was a few weeks ago.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Thanks Adam - I watch them as well & really like there comments - they see pretty knowledgeable. Have a good day/evening. 😊
Bee Gees....I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You..1968 one of the early hits and one of the best take a listen they were so very young
They were the kings of falsetto harmonies, and Barry was the emperor.
It does my heart good to see this generation enjoy the music of my youth.
I honestly can't think of a male group that can compare to the BeeGees. Forget the Temptations or Back Street Boys or Boyz2Men. It's like comparing good, great to OMG 😂
You can only think of a few girls' groups who could pull off this insane level of vocal ability plus harmonic fullness.
And this doesn't even call into question the lyrics. This song is simply one of the most beautifully written songs in pop music history.
What incredible talent they are have been listening to them since the 70s and all done with no autotune or special mics. One mic and 3 singers amazing talent.
It never seemed fair to me - Barry got the looks, the hair, the height, voice (of course they all sound great), and now he is the last one alive. Maybe it's just me.
Maybe it has also to do with his "lifestyle" (family, wife...)?!
@@nelerhabarber5602 That's ok for the longevity part.
Maurice & Robin were fraternal twins, so they had to share the good genes.
@@whamsie4022 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe Barry is tormented being the last one alive. He looked out for his brothers from the day they were born and all through their careers.
Great reaction, Aileen! The Bee Gees are awesome singers, songwriters and performers! To my ears their early material is their best and I would recommend "Words", "How Can You Mend An Open Heart" and "To Love Somebody" as songs you will love! But honestly I will be here for any of their songs you choose to react to! The brothers were from The United Kingdom, though they had some early success when living in Australia!
Barry's FALSETTO voice is such a game changer musically. He never knew he could sing in Falsetto for years I think until SNF.. Amazingly talented...
Until nights on broadway!
HI AT SOME POINT IN TIME BEE GEES WHERE PLAYED EVERY 20 SEK SOME PLACE ON EARTH, U LOOK GORGEOUS, GREAT REACTION, THEY ARE ONE OF A KIND. LOVE FROM DENMARK
Bright Angel Aileen, the glowing smile on your beautiful face and the light in your eyes was "Too Much Heaven." It's incredible how music
can change the world because it can change your emotions and heart, just like this song did to you. Thanks for the great commentary
and hard work.
You should definitely check out more Bee Gees, Staying Alive, Night Fever, Tragedy, You Win Again,, and I think you'd love Immortality, a duet with Celine Dion. They are an amazing group with the lead singer Barry Gibb, and brothers Robin and Maurice. Totally unique band, unique voices, unique harmonizing, What's not to love? Great to see you swoon!!!
This is what you call Music.
I've seen many of your reactions to songs of every genre out there, but I have never seen you smile as big and as much as in this video. Bee-Gees still got it!
I was A Junior in High school when this song came out I remember first school dance I asked the Girl of my Dreams to the Dance she said yes 40 + years Later we are still Dancing too this Classic this is real Music
You have just started at the top of a big deep rabbit hole. You should listen to more Bee Gees. This group has been around since the early 60's and have music up to around 2003. When Mourice passed away, and in 2012 Robin passed away. But everyone who has listened to their music in these reaction videos has all said they have never heard one song that they didn't like. You really don't know what your missing.
Your new found love for the Brother Gibb is very enlightening! There are so many more hundreds of songs to dig into, so you are in for the most amazingly beautiful ride of your life!!! Here are a few more starters to react to... Fanny (be tender with my love), Staying Alive, Love So Right, Love You Inside Out!! You will be ecstatic that you dove into the rabbit hole of greatness ❤❤❤
Left - Robin Gibb, Middle - Barry Gibb & Right - Maurice Gibb.
It's the 70's 🕺😉🙂
The reason Saturday night fever was so successful wasn't Ben John Travolta it because of the bee gees soundtrack
How do people not know how Great the Bee Gees they have been around for Years.
Yeah they were incredible! Truly unique and genuinely talented. Thank you for giving this awesome review of the Bee Gees as they deserve it.
Have a nice day!
I didn't recognize the song from the title, but a split second of hearing it was all I needed. The Bee Gees were my mother's band when I was a small boy.
Love that your enjoying the Awesome BeeGees,,they so stand the test of time!!!!!
At 4.40 you can see her heart melt and her falling in love with the song right there and then.
Beautiful song, beautiful moment.
Barry Just had a birthday 77 years old. Maurice on the right passed away in 2003. Robin on the left passed away in 2012. They also had a younger brother Andy Gibb who had a solo career. He did have drug & alcohol addictions and it weakend his heart and he passed away in 1980 just after he turned 30.
They were all amazing. Check out some of Andy Gibbs songs.
I presume it's a typo but Andy passed away in 1988.
We just watched you fall in love with Barry Gibb…. And millions and millions and millions of women did the EXACT SAME thing back in the day….Great reaction.
One of the greatest things about Barry is that he literally could have chosen any woman he wanted back in the day.......and he DID......his wife Linda......54 years later they are still happily married. Amazing.
Robin has a unique sounding voice, it trembles when he sings and it sounds like he’s crying in some songs with his voice hi lighted. Check out their disco era, Staying Alive, Nights on Broadway, Night Fever, Fanny be Tender with my Love. After disco era, One, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Their earlier music was also sooo good, Run to Me, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Words, I Started a Joke….there’s just too many to even mention them all
Robin sang a natural raw Vibrato never to be matched, even Today 2023
Thanks for such a sincere and heartfelt reaction. The BeeGees are the epitome of harmony and songwriting. No autotune, beautiful lyrics etc. Make sure to react to Stayin Alive, Tragedy, Alone, Night Fever, you should be Dancing, More than Woman etc. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
If you've never heard the BeeGees' song, "Stayin' Alive," or watched the movie, "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta, I highly recommend that song and video. It's a very different kind of song from the BeeGees, which demonstrates their exceptional range as singers and songwriters. By the way, the tallest lead singer is the oldest brother, Barry. The other bearded one is Maurice, and the clean-shaven one is Robin. They're twins.
So the one in the middle is Barry. He’s the oldest and generally the lead singer. The clean shaven on Barry’s right is Robin. The one on Barry’s left with a beard, mustache and balding is Maurice (pronounced Morris). Both Robin and Maurice are gone now (Maurice for about 20 years and Robin for just over 10). There was a fourth brother named Andy. He was the youngest. He was primarily a solo artist but did perform with his older brothers from time to time. Andy died in 1988 at the age of 30 from natural causes stemming from years of substance abuse. So today, Barry is technically the only one left though he does perform quite a bit with his oldest son, Stephen Gibb.
Good description! It's also good to remember that Robin and Maurice are twins.
@@johnbattles1002 True. I did forget that.
In the beginning years Robin was their leadsinger
@@TheDreamtheaterlover True. As I recall, it wasn’t until Barry started using that falsetto voice that he became the lead singer. And even after that, there were songs like “Massachusetts” where Robin was still the lead.
@@amtrak7394No. Just to name a couple of their early songs, Barry sang lead on "Words" and "To Love Somebody" and he did not sing falsetto. The falsetto came along later.
Barry has a magic that echoes through the years...
Watching you react to this song was very pleasant for me. I know you truly enjoyed the song your smile gave it away to me. There is a song that they wrote and sang that is now saving lives. The American Heart Association has adopted "Stayin' Alive" as the beat to do CPR to. When you listen to it you will know the rhythm to do the chest compressions .
I am having fun listening to your reaction! You nailed it with you reading of these fabulous brothers! Check out the song "Massachusetts" with Robin on the left here as lead vocalist! The most eerie and beautiful vibrato in his voice
I love how young people enjoy good music that I grew up with in the 70s as a teenager
This was my first time sitting in with you today, thank you for allowing me to do that. I enjoyed the time i spent here so I subscribed and left a like while I was here! Thank you for your fabulous reaction!
They are incredible God rest the ones in heaven. Their youngest Brother Andy was as gifted as they are and was getting ready to join them but tragically passed away too soon as well as Robin and Maurice. They were Superb. Thank God for the invention of sound recording so we can enjoy them eternally.
Bee Gees has always been one of my favorites!
So glad you finally reacted to this song. Watching your facial expressions change with your hand gestures made me smile big time!
Great reaction!! "Twenty out of ten"! They are unsurpassed.Thanks! It was a pleasure listening to you praise these guys who ARE an experience!
love the way the chorus merges back in each time, then the bridge and the climax and back into the chorus - the song structure is very good, as well as the performance.
They even had another very talented baby brother, who had his own Career. His name is Andy.
Welcome young lady to the decade of great music I think the next BeeGees song you should listen to would be Love So Right 👍
The song is so smoothly sung, you'd swear it was sung in one long breath.
Absolutely phenomenal talented Bee Gees , Barry the eldest brother in the middle, on the left Robin and on the right Maurice, Robin and Maurice are Twins, Bee Gees first and foremost always considered themselves songwriters before being vocalists, they have written many hit songs for other famous artists, including Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick,Frankie Valli, Yvonne Elliman ,Olivia Newton John, also for films ( Saturday Night Fever) and (Grease) both films staring the Hollywood actor John Travolta, Bee Gees have a vast catalog of songs over 6 decades, and have sold over 250 million records worldwide , the brothers originally from the Isle Of Man 🇮🇲 an island of the coast of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, later moving to mainland United Kingdom 🇬🇧 then emigrated to Australia, but they new the music scene was in the United Kingdom so they moved back and forth from America to Uk, and toured worldwide, I actually attended a Bee Gees concert in Las Vegas in 1997 they were phenomenal live, great reaction thanks 🙏
I love every time they sing "too". The timing and phrasing are so very good.
I appreciate your respect and appreciation of the classics.
I still remember where I was when I first heard this song on the radio!
I'm subscribing!
A timeless masterpiece, 10,000 years from now it'll still be a hit !
Ron
They are second to only the Beatles as the most covered group in history.
Barry Gibb (the guy in the middle) is a musical/lyrical genius!..His brothers, Robin, on the left and Maurice on the right
Barry, Robin and Maurice are their names. Love listening to them :)
Indeed, they were born to sing together, & when youngest brother Andy occasionally joined them, the 4-part harmony was extraordinary. Thanks for your reaction.
This was from 1976. If you see and listen to their One Night Only from Vegas in 1997, they still had it over the years. Sadly we lost Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb and little brother Andy Gibb but we still have Barry (the middle guy with the voice). They are from Australia and have been performing since the 60s. Thank you for sharing
I enjoy your reactions because you really seem to enjoy new to you music. The Brothers wrote the songs and music for Barbara Streisand's album "Guilty". Barry sings "guilty" with her. For some reason no one reacts to Barbara, maybe because everyone knows her. She did a live concert in her backyard and Barry shows up for a couple songs. If you react to those choose the live concert version. You won't be disappointed..
Thank you Aileen for this good song . I know Bee Gees since a long time because i am like Barry for age . I love them and your smile too ... Merci encore Mademoiselle .
You know what helps my anxiety from the military? Hearing this beautiful song and seeing Aileen great smile,
You should react to TIME IS PASSING BY. Barry had that same confidence at age 13. He knew at 8 years old what he was going to do. They not only had the natural gift and dream, but even as kids had such a passion and work ethic that was needed to achieve their decades of success.
Warms my heart to see your reaction ! My favorite group by far !!🎶
Maurice Gibb plays bass. For something upbeat ‘You Should Be Dancing” will make you want to get up and boogie!
Your soul radiates during these reactions. I just love your energy. ✌️
They’re brothers, younger brother Andy was a solo artist. They have an older sister Leslie, she’s my grandmother.
Next should be "Nights on Broadway" live on the Midnight Special. Featuring Barry's chest voice.
70.80.and 90. was the best great music ❤❤
It's not about the looks first and foremost... this is music and harmony... they all made it sound sooooooo beautiful
The crazy part is they had been performing on TV for about 20 when this song came out. There is a video on youtube of them in black in white in the 1950s.
Fantastic reaction. Love to hear your input throughout your reactions. Stay Blessed!!
their best song ever, by the Bee Gees , IMO....even though I love the disco songs...(I am a heavy metal fan, but was born in 70') that's Barry....he's got the most unique voice...and of course, the brother not shown/ Andy as well...I'm surprised you didn't tear up
I listen to this song all the time!
The Bee Gees were 4 musical brothers which included the youngest brother Andy Gibb. The brothers performing from left to right were Robin, Barry and Maurice, with Barry being the only one still alive. The Bee Gees started in the 60s, but didn't become well known until the late 70s when they performed many songs for the movie Saturday Night Fever. Andy performed with them on occasion and had short solo career. But drugs and alcohol cut his life short. He was married to Victoria Principle in the 80s.
There has never been any music created to top this. Unreal. No autotune. No technological tricks. Real musicians playing real instruments. Perfection.
....... and there probably never will be !
So much history here. This one is my favorite. They had the best harmonies in the business for sure. Try Fanny Be Tender With My Love next. You won’t be disappointed.
Middle singer is Barry Gibb. Other two are twins (don't recall their names). They had a fourth brother, Andy I think, who mainly performed solo. Barry is the only survivor among the four, the eldest, and the person who formed the band. The band name is either from Barry Gibb's initials, or, more likely, from the Brothers Gibb. Or both. Titans of music. British, I think. Thanks for reacting to these favorites!
Maurice and Robin are the twins. The name was taken from Brothers Gibb. Andy died young of an OD. Maurice died suddenly in his 50s of a bowel obstruction ( twisted). Robin died just over a decade ago of cancer.
Andy died from myocarditis......inflammation of heart muscle caused by a virus. His heart was weakened by cocaine abuse but he did not OD
The name comes from Barry Gibb, Bill Goode, Bill Gates,(first manager and producer of them) Barbra Gibb (mother) and brothers Gibb!
@@taylemgames2652Andy didn't OD but died from myocarditis.
