so agree!!! As a child I first heard of them in the mid 60's onwards, their material then absolutely different from what they made in later decades, but so worth checking that out too! I fell in love with their music and have been ever since.
No one came close simply, because they wrote all of their own songs and wrote and produced over 1000 songs for themselves and others. They wrote and produced songs for Dolley Parton, Celine Dion, Kenny Rodgers, Barbara Streisand, and many many others. They were very much underappreciated but I believe that they are greater known and appreciated now than they were then because of people like you and thousands of others who have discovered them. To answer one of your questions, back in the 70's everyone listened to the radio and bought albums. That's how groups were promoted. Although the Bee Gees were known for their disco hits for me, their greatest music was sung in the 60's, 80's '90s, and in 2003 For Whom the Bell Tolls, is unforgettable. You really must listen to Fanny Be Tender With My Heart, Jive Talking, and Tragedy just to name a few. Earth, Wind and Fire is my second favorite group after the Bee Gees.
❤my favorites are A Million Years and For Whom the Bell Tolls and there is a video for each! I listen to them all the time in my car with Google Play and Bluetooth from my phone!
I was born in 1967, and the BeeGees were my heartthrobs!!! They also had a brother, Andy Gibb, who never thought he was going to be recognized as anything more than their kid brother. Sadly, only Barry, the oldest brother who can hit those high notes, is still alive today. NOBODY, but NOBODY can compare to the Bee Gees!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Me 2!!! 1967! I remember a girl in my 5th grade class getting Teen Magazine with Andy Gibb on the cover. OMG! We were all so squealified! And I don’t know about you but I played my Bee Gee’s dominant Saturday Night Fever vinyl every chance I got. 70’s and is my favorite music decade still.
That we did and it m glad be cause we shared the 🎶 c with our children who are doing the same with their children. We listen to each other's music and they appreciate the 70-80 the most.
This was boomers music, but us GenXers heard it as young children.. then picked it back up when we got older. I enjoy your reactions, Lil' Brother. I'm glad you're discovering all this music we've loved for decades 👍
Their dad was a drummer and they lived in Manchester 🇬🇧 they used to practice over and over as boys. They moved to Australia and had some success there as very young kids. They moved back to England and had some success. Robert Stigwood (record producer) recommended them for doing the sound track to Saturday night Fever . This shot them to stardom in America. Ps. I love them and proud to appreciate their music 🎶
Exactly. I'm Gen X and can still remember when my parents took me to see a double feature Grease and Saturday Night Fever (the PG version) when I was very young. Loved the music from both movies. And my parents loved it and they're Boomers
I'm 75 yo and their music brings tears to my eyes because it takes me back to the times in which they were sung! I've had a wonderful life with my beautiful wife of 54 years and our two daughters and two sons and this takes me to the 1970's which were the best of times and the worst of times. I've been spoiled by my parents with access to their good music, my young aunts who gave me rock and roll in the 1950s, and the transistor radio in the 1960s blaring the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Motown!
I fell in love with the BeeGees songs from the sound track of the movie Saturday Night Fever back in 1977. Since i have started looking at all these reactions , ive discovered a lot of their songs that i have never heard before. Im lovi g every mi ute of it.
These brothers had harmonies unmatched. As you go down deeper you will learn about their younger brother Andy Gibb. He was a baller also. Barry's style is just so unique and you can tell he is deeply into the emotions of the whole production.
You are a remarkable young man,you give me hope for the younger generation,you judge music and songs on their own merit, not the year it was made,good on you
The Gibb brothers wrote over 1000 songs and they wrote hit songs for other artists. They actually wrote THREE #1 singles in ONE day (Too Much Heaven, Tragedy and Shadow Dancing which was a huge hit sung by baby brother Andy Gibb). They grew up and began singing as children in Australia, then moved to England. They've changed and restarted their careers a few times over 50 years. They had big hits back before disco hit big in the late 70s. In fact, they didn't intentionally write disco music. They had these songs they'd been working on for a still untitled new album in 1977 when movie producer Robert Stigwood called them up and said he wanted five songs for the new movie he was working on called Saturday Night Fever starring a kid named John Travolta. They knocked out the songs in one long weekend (including Saturday Night Fever, Staying' Alive, How Deep is Your Love and More Than A Woman). The movie became a cultural phenomenon, and though they already had hits back in the 60s the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack shot them into super stardom.
@pushindazees spent 8 years as kids in Australia but were born on the Isle of Man and then moved back to Manchester before the family emigrated to Australia.
BEE GEES & EARTH WIND & FIRE each has there own unique classic sound in its own Class, unfair to both to compare them to each other. Bee Gees is INCREDIBLE SOUND & EWF INCREDIBLE SOUND. LOVE THEM BOTH ❤️
Yes! Do the right thing! Love one girl! It helps when you both have Jesus in your lives! I loved The Bee Gees my whole life! Be the one who is different! There are girls in this world looking for that one guy who is a diamond in the rough!
No one compares to the BeeGees. If you want to learn how they became famous, go watch their documentary. They made records, radio stations then played them. Everyone loved them. I remember my husband (before we were married) had every song of theirs on 8-track tapes! They were the best.
I am an Old Hippie and I love all of the music from the 50s 60s 70s and into the 80s when music was all about love and peace and being together whereas today's music is filled with hate and animosity and ugly overwhelms ...so it's so good to see someone like you find out how beautiful love and music can be. the flower child era of love and peace and hope and togetherness was a wonderful time and the Bee Gees grew their music through all of those eras there's nobody like them and there never will be again
So true, but the ugly truth is that children of the 60's, 70's and 80's grew up and then their kids had kids, and we are now a society that is very, very messed up. Unfortunately, all that liberal, child centered, permissive upbringing, brought our society to ruins. 😣😨☹
@@renep2220 I will be 68 in a few days and listen to this music makes me feel like I'm 21 again and it's so great to see the young people of today hear what things were like back in our day, ,happy New Year fellow disco friend
BeeGees were of the Boomer generation. I'm 67 now, and a baby boomer. We were blessed with the best music in our teens and early adulthood. The BeeGees changed their sound with the times. They had these things called radios that broadcast music all over the country and the world. That is how we heard this music and it became popular.
I’m a Gen X and I had a Bee Gee’s lunchbox in 1979. Loved these guys and still do. Their youngest brother Andy Gibb had a lot of great music too with The Bee Gees singing back up. Great music and a great time to live in the USA.
They were in a league of there own. Nobody can compare. Barry is so smooth, but then they all are. They have a little brother named Andy that had his own career If you haven't checked out Home Free you definitely should. Totally a cappella. Just there voices.
You can't classify them in just one genre or generation because they did music for 6 decades. In fact, Barry is still making music. They did every type of music, writing it all themselves. No one has ever matched their talent.
I was 16 in 1977 when the movie Saturday Night Fever came out. The Bee Gees are prominent on the soundtrack. I also love Yvonne Elleman who is on the soundtrack as well. Donna Summer was popular during this period also. What fun it was to go to the underage dance club to go disco dancing! The dresses were great and the line dancing was awesome!
In Europe and the world The Bee Gees were also very famous before the Fever or the so-called "disco" period. They just switched from their old sound to a new sound, with rich orchestrations and rhythms, and then US went crazy for them. We listened to them on the radio or saw them in concert on TV. At first they sang something like soft pop rock, then they went to R&B/Soul which is mistaken defined as "disco", then they wrote songs for other singers, and finally they came back again with their typical sound, which I think can only be defined as theirs name - Bee Gees style - Gentle smooth harmonies, perfectly balanced with interesting instrumental, melody and lyrics. Genius!
While I am a Gen X metal head, we grew up with these types of artists. We were so lucky growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. There is one more brother Andy Gibb. Same talent.
The Beatles and the Bee Gees - legendary greatness. It's hard to compare the two groups as their sound is very different. Both wrote their own music and lyrics. Both popular, with surviving The Beatles still performing and dropping #1 songs. Barry still performs and no doubt writes. Iconic, all of them. I miss John, George, Robin, Maurice, and Andy to this day.
The Beatles were not all that they were overrated in my opinion I don’t care what anybody says and I like music but the Beatles were not all that and I would never put the Bee Gees in the Beatles in the same sentence just because the Bee Gees are the goat they are from the golden age Into the boomers into Gen X and now he’s still writing but he’s not singing but the Beatles what are they doing nothing and Barry Gibb is still writing.
@@diane461 Since you don't care what anyone else says or thinks, why bother to post something so negative? There are positive, polite, educated, and informed ways to disagree with others' opinions. For the record, Sir Barry is not only still writing, but performed as recently as last year with his son, Stephen, and on occasion with Maurice's daughter, Samantha. He was honored at The Kennedy Center Awards in December. Sir Paul Mccartney still writes and tours, as does Sir Ringo Starr. The Beatles, with all four members, dropped a new song, their last, which was #1 on the charts in 2023. Sir Paul followed with another #1 not long after a a songwriter. The Beatles and the Bee Geess held each other in high regard and respect. Try showing that same respect towards others.
@@NC-Mama-Bear excuse me, I said, in my opinion, maybe you should learn to read a little better instead of throwing garbage at people, I said, in my opinion, which is different than giving you something negative. The negativity came out of you because you took it the wrong way I was giving my opinion of that guy personally don’t like the Beatles they were all overrated OK they will never be a text for sure but it’s what you wanna hear you’re not going to never will never did so that’s not being negative just because I give my opinion now that you said I did say something bad or whatever that I was doing did you go? I just gave you, so I’m sorry if you didn’t like my opinion.
@@NC-Mama-Bear if you did not like my comment, you didn’t have to come into it and bring all your blah blah blah blah like an old lady. OK that she didn’t like what she’s heard and she had to say her words well, you shouldn’t have said anything you just came in here because you’re upset about something and want to make a big deal about it I’m not a little child I’m not a teenager I’m an older adult OK so if you didn’t like my opinion, all you had to do was keep swollen, don’t come at me because you’re gonna get the worst part of it so let’s just let it be at that OK these are better than the Beatles Beatles we didn’t do nothing for The in the United States. They have not said anything or Our would have heard.
Everybody listened to the radio. All the best songs all day and night on the radio. Then we bought the record albums and went to their concerts. 70's were the best music of all time. Oooh the memories.
So nice to see a young man enjoying our music. I’m 67 yo Puerto Rican born and raised in New York City. So I was able to enjoy 50’s 60’s and 70’s. I’m sure there’s a lot of our music you would enjoy. That was MUSIC!
They were the best. Try Fanny Be Tender, Jive Talking, Run To Me, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Bodyguard, Alone, One, oh there are so many. No one was better than the Bee Gees. They wrote all their own songs, wrote for other artists like Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick.
These brothers began at a very early age with TV appearances. Their music and lyrics evolved with the times. They are unique in many ways. The twins are now, sadly, deceased. Their music spaned generations. I would say that they are definitely Baby Boomers. I know of no other group as prolific, with long lived careers, and with the natural harmonizing as the BeeGees. God bless you!!!
Late Boomer. Grew up with the BeeGees. Have so much respect for their unmatched talent. Consider myself fortunate to have experienced music in the 70s and 80s. It was the best!
It was much harder to make it as a famous musician back then. You'd have to get recognized by an A&R rep and get signed to a record label. Record labels had the money and influence to get your songs played on the radio. People would hear songs on the radio and if they liked them they would go buy their records, 8tracks or cassette tapes. It wasn't easy to even get an A&R rep to even listen to a demo. One thing that was cool about it was in the 70's and stuff, we often didn't really even know what the musicians looked like unless their picture was on their record or they had a guest appearance on a tv show. Of course some people were known for their looks, but there was more focus on the quality of the music than what the people looked like than there is now.
@@kthor There were also many good singers whose good looks went against them, particularly male, because though successful, it prevented them being taken seriously as singers and musicians.
Boomer here all the way....there was a 4th brother that made it on his own...Andy Gibb...check him out...i loved lots of soft rock of the late 60's, 70's and early 80's....been 60 yrs and i still love the BeeGees
Nobody came close to the BeeGees. They were musical geniuses. Nobody could write or sing a song like the Gibb brothers. ❤. These guys started singing here in Australia in the 1950s and continued until Mo passed in 2003. Their last album was released in 2001. They didn't have a genre they changed with the times.
@LaurelCarter1573 they started singing on street corners then in clubs their Dad was playing at with his big band and took them along, in Manchester before they moved to Australia.
When I was in high school in the mid sixties, the BeeGees took off (Words, Massachussetts), 70s more beautiful music with about 3 yrs of disco, the 80s a different sound, etc. Decades of great music, until tragedy struck the family…
There’s never been anything like The Bee Gees! They were a gift to the boomer generation that I feel privileged to have lived. There was a fourth brother too, Andy Gibb, that sang on his own but was troubled and died of an overdose. Tragic😢
I was born in '78 and I still listen to this song on repeat and dance with my partner in the kitchen and living room with deep emotion. Abba was big too. This is in my top 5 favorite songs.
Stevie Wonder said "Why didn’t I write this song?!!" as we rode down Sunset Blvd in LA, singing along with this tune on the radio. There was NO one like the BeeGees back then or since. The brothers Gibb worked since they were little boys in Australia. The 4th and youngest brother, Andy, Gibb died young.
No group could come close to them. Their harmony’s are so great Bc they are brothers. Their voices are so similar and blend so well together! Their harmonies are unbelievable! This is not Disco. They started doing Disco when they wrote the sound track for Saturday Night Fever!
Teens in the ‘70s like myself listened to the radio constantly, went to concerts and the groups were on TV. we bought actual vinyl albums. It was definitely the ‘70s when these guys rose to fame. The Boomers had the best music.
In the 70s the Bee Gees covered the charts so people started getting tired of them having all the hits but they were so good and now they're coming back as popular as they were in the 70s again I wrote all their own songs they did all their own vocals nobody had ever heard of an auto tuner before this is pure music pure vocals my very talented man and they've been around since they were little kids
Absolutely NO ONE compares to the Bee Gees! NO ONE!
Truth. They also crossed music genres.
so agree!!! As a child I first heard of them in the mid 60's onwards, their material then absolutely different from what they made in later decades, but so worth checking that out too! I fell in love with their music and have been ever since.
There were known worldwide and over many decades!
Both. Started during the baby boomers but went through the next generation as well
Back then they were made known by word of mouth, they sent demo tapes to DJs on the radio, and records.
I am 70 years old, BeeGees were my generation. Boomers from Disco scene.
Yeah, I agree. I'm Gen X and missed the train a little bit, only really figuring out how good they really were later on. Give it up to the Boomers!
I am a disco boomer.

Yeah, no one I can think of to compare. They’re rare. I’m 53 (GenX) and I’ve been listening to them since I was a wee thing.
The beatles wrote their own songs
There was a fourth brother, Andy, who sang also. He went his own way, and was also famous. An amazing set of siblings, from Australia.
❤my favorites are A Million Years and For Whom the Bell Tolls and there is a video for each! I listen to them all the time in my car with Google Play and Bluetooth from my phone!
The 70s was Great!!!!
I was born in 1967, and the BeeGees were my heartthrobs!!! They also had a brother, Andy Gibb, who never thought he was going to be recognized as anything more than their kid brother. Sadly, only Barry, the oldest brother who can hit those high notes, is still alive today. NOBODY, but NOBODY can compare to the Bee Gees!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Barry Gibb's voice was an instrument all by itself
It really doesn’t matter who was blessed with them - if you were alive in the 70s and 80s you were blessed with them.
Amen that
And, anyone can be blessed by this music!
Definitely!
Boomers definitely had the BEST tunes. It was real music. When people had respect.
Agree!
That we did and it m glad be cause we shared the 🎶 c with our children who are doing the same with their children. We listen to each other's music and they appreciate the 70-80 the most.
No one compares to the BeeGees. Their unique sound Their unique voices was all their own. We're in our 70's and still listening to this music.
This was boomers music, but us GenXers heard it as young children.. then picked it back up when we got older. I enjoy your reactions, Lil' Brother. I'm glad you're discovering all this music we've loved for decades 👍

Barry still married to his wife since 1970. Living the song
They started their singing career in the Boomer era but didn’t become well known until the late 70s (GenX) years. Both generations loved them.
Massachusetts….Gotta get a message to you and I started a joke we’re the firsts I remember…
Exactly. I'm Gen X and can still remember when my parents took me to see a double feature Grease and Saturday Night Fever (the PG version) when I was very young. Loved the music from both movies. And my parents loved it and they're Boomers
The first song I heard from Bee Gee is "You win again" I was a teenager then.

I love your story. 54 years, wonderful.
I LOVE DISCO , ALL OF IT . I was dancing my ass off all the time . Best shape of my life
I'm a boomer. Trust me, the boomers were blessed with BeeGees and tons of more wonderful artists! We were truly blessed!!
I'm also a boomer, born in 1963. We heard these guys on the radio all the time.
Gen x was as well... 1970s was legit
I fell in love with the BeeGees songs from the sound track of the movie Saturday Night Fever back in 1977. Since i have started looking at all these reactions , ive discovered a lot of their songs that i have never heard before. Im lovi g every mi ute of it.
Nobody was better! I'm 64, & have been listening to them since they came out. I'm so glad I was raised during the 60s & 70s when we had REAL music.
👍
There is no one that compares to the bee gees!!😊❤
They transitioned through the baby boomers and Gen X both generations had the privilege of listening to them
Love Earth Wind & Fire too❣️❣️❣️ Such talented singers, producers, musicians…from the 70’s🙋🏼♀️🙏🏼
That is our Barry doing his falsettos, he did it effortlessly!
Yes I am a boomer and I loved those years truly the best years. 66 years and still going!

No one came close to The Bee Gees. Chicago was great and Earth Wind and Fire but Bee Gees are everything.
I love all three of these groups
Barry Gibb still lives, more power to him!

Don’t forget The Beach Boys, three brothers, a cousin, and a friend. Brian is a genus.
It is amazing to hear Robyn and Barry harmonizing as lead. Barry still tours.
You are Right on how this culture has degenerated. The 70's are the best decade for this kind of talent. I'm so blessed this was in my day.

The Beatles and the Bee Gees - legendary greatness. It's hard to compare the two groups as their sound is very different. Both wrote their own music and lyrics. Both popular, with surviving The Beatles still performing and dropping #1 songs. Barry still performs and no doubt writes.
Iconic, all of them. I miss John, George, Robin, Maurice, and Andy to this day.
The Beatles were not all that they were overrated in my opinion I don’t care what anybody says and I like music but the Beatles were not all that and I would never put the Bee Gees in the Beatles in the same sentence just because the Bee Gees are the goat they are from the golden age Into the boomers into Gen X and now he’s still writing but he’s not singing but the Beatles what are they doing nothing and Barry Gibb is still writing.
@@diane461 Since you don't care what anyone else says or thinks, why bother to post something so negative? There are positive, polite, educated, and informed ways to disagree with others' opinions. For the record, Sir Barry is not only still writing, but performed as recently as last year with his son, Stephen, and on occasion with Maurice's daughter, Samantha. He was honored at The Kennedy Center Awards in December. Sir Paul Mccartney still writes and tours, as does Sir Ringo Starr. The Beatles, with all four members, dropped a new song, their last, which was #1 on the charts in 2023. Sir Paul followed with another #1 not long after a a songwriter. The Beatles and the Bee Geess held each other in high regard and respect. Try showing that same respect towards others.
@@NC-Mama-Bear excuse me, I said, in my opinion, maybe you should learn to read a little better instead of throwing garbage at people, I said, in my opinion, which is different than giving you something negative. The negativity came out of you because you took it the wrong way I was giving my opinion of that guy personally don’t like the Beatles they were all overrated OK they will never be a text for sure but it’s what you wanna hear you’re not going to never will never did so that’s not being negative just because I give my opinion now that you said I did say something bad or whatever that I was doing did you go? I just gave you, so I’m sorry if you didn’t like my opinion.
@@NC-Mama-Bear In what country because I have not heard it here.
@@NC-Mama-Bear if you did not like my comment, you didn’t have to come into it and bring all your blah blah blah blah like an old lady. OK that she didn’t like what she’s heard and she had to say her words well, you shouldn’t have said anything you just came in here because you’re upset about something and want to make a big deal about it I’m not a little child I’m not a teenager I’m an older adult OK so if you didn’t like my opinion, all you had to do was keep swollen, don’t come at me because you’re gonna get the worst part of it so let’s just let it be at that OK these are better than the Beatles Beatles we didn’t do nothing for The in the United States. They have not said anything or Our would have heard.
Nothing compares to them. Unique!
Everybody listened to the radio. All the best songs all day and night on the radio. Then we bought the record albums and went to their concerts. 70's were the best music of all time. Oooh the memories.
Boomers! But whoever discoverers them, are blessed! Music is meant to be shared!!😊
So nice to see a young man enjoying our music. I’m 67 yo Puerto Rican born and raised in New York City. So I was able to enjoy 50’s 60’s and 70’s. I’m sure there’s a lot of our music you would enjoy. That was MUSIC!
This is from my days. I'm 66 yes old and back in the day we had music. Baby boomer!
The Bee Gees has made more money than any other group. They started their group in 1958, and are still famous to us old people today.
this guy is ADORABLE. love to watch someone loving something. (beegees fan since I was a teenager)
They were the best. Try Fanny Be Tender, Jive Talking, Run To Me, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Bodyguard, Alone, One, oh there are so many. No one was better than the Bee Gees. They wrote all their own songs, wrote for other artists like Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick.
These brothers began at a very early age with TV appearances. Their music and lyrics evolved with the times. They are unique in many ways. The twins are now, sadly, deceased. Their music spaned generations. I would say that they are definitely Baby Boomers. I know of no other group as prolific, with long lived careers, and with the natural harmonizing as the BeeGees. God bless you!!!
The movie Saturday Night Fever made the Bee Gees blow up!
Late Boomer. Grew up with the BeeGees. Have so much respect for their unmatched talent. Consider myself fortunate to have experienced music in the 70s and 80s. It was the best!
It was much harder to make it as a famous musician back then. You'd have to get recognized by an A&R rep and get signed to a record label. Record labels had the money and influence to get your songs played on the radio. People would hear songs on the radio and if they liked them they would go buy their records, 8tracks or cassette tapes. It wasn't easy to even get an A&R rep to even listen to a demo. One thing that was cool about it was in the 70's and stuff, we often didn't really even know what the musicians looked like unless their picture was on their record or they had a guest appearance on a tv show. Of course some people were known for their looks, but there was more focus on the quality of the music than what the people looked like than there is now.
Good looks helped....but not always! There were many successful groups that didn't have "the look"....such as Steely Dan & many others.🎼
@@kthor There were also many good singers whose good looks went against them, particularly male, because though successful, it prevented them being taken seriously as singers and musicians.
Boomer here all the way....there was a 4th brother that made it on his own...Andy Gibb...check him out...i loved lots of soft rock of the late 60's, 70's and early 80's....been 60 yrs and i still love the BeeGees
The disco era started in 70’s and ended early 80’s the BEEgees had more number one albums than anyone during that time
Ended? What do you mean? 🕺🪩😅
This song is a heartbreaker
I am a boomer. It is my music.
No one compares to the bee gees ❤️❤️💕❤️
BeeGees we’re POP music. Their song Jive Talkin’ is the polar opposite of this one. Just listen to it!
Yes!! Jive Talkin’!! You definitely need to listen to that one!!!
you want to know how they grew their following base and how they became known all around the world?? ABSOLUTE PURE TALENT.
BeeGees, Chicago, Queen - they were all amazing in the 70's!
There were 4 brothers. Youngest, Andy Gibb, was much younger. He had his own solo career. He was just as successful .
Nobody came close to the BeeGees. They were musical geniuses. Nobody could write or sing a song like the Gibb brothers. ❤. These guys started singing here in Australia in the 1950s and continued until Mo passed in 2003. Their last album was released in 2001. They didn't have a genre they changed with the times.
@LaurelCarter1573 they started singing on street corners then in clubs their Dad was playing at with his big band and took them along, in Manchester before they moved to Australia.
There was 4 brothers and all of them could sing.
When I was in high school in the mid sixties, the BeeGees took off (Words, Massachussetts), 70s more beautiful music with about 3 yrs of disco, the 80s a different sound, etc. Decades of great music, until tragedy struck the family…
AIR SUPPLY !!!!❤
No one came close to these talented brothers!
It was called " the radio" back in the day...and of course concerts and TV shows!
There’s never been anything like The Bee Gees! They were a gift to the boomer generation that I feel privileged to have lived. There was a fourth brother too, Andy Gibb, that sang on his own but was troubled and died of an overdose. Tragic😢
I was born in '78 and I still listen to this song on repeat and dance with my partner in the kitchen and living room with deep emotion. Abba was big too. This is in my top 5 favorite songs.
Oh yeah! ABBA!
They were the main group that helped define the disco craze in the 70’s. Boomers were the major group, gen x were in middle school at the time.
The boomers were blessed with this music, because the Bee Gees became famous in the early 60's.
They got well known through radio, movies, concerts, commercials, and album sales.
Stevie Wonder said "Why didn’t I write this song?!!" as we rode down Sunset Blvd in LA, singing along with this tune on the radio. There was NO one like the BeeGees back then or since. The brothers Gibb worked since they were little boys in Australia. The 4th and youngest brother, Andy, Gibb died young.
No group could come close to them. Their harmony’s are so great Bc they are brothers. Their voices are so similar and blend so well together! Their harmonies are unbelievable! This is not Disco. They started doing Disco when they wrote the sound track for Saturday Night Fever!
The BeeGees wrote so much music for other artists that became hits. They are legends.
Oh wow, this is such an amazing blast from the past - PURE HEAVEN!
Teens in the ‘70s like myself listened to the radio constantly, went to concerts and the groups were on TV. we bought actual vinyl albums. It was definitely the ‘70s when these guys rose to fame. The Boomers had the best music.
In the 70s the Bee Gees covered the charts so people started getting tired of them having all the hits but they were so good and now they're coming back as popular as they were in the 70s again I wrote all their own songs they did all their own vocals nobody had ever heard of an auto tuner before this is pure music pure vocals my very talented man and they've been around since they were little kids
