Maurice was at his most healthy and happy here after all he suffered with Alcoholism. It was so wonderful to hear his beautiful voice and see his beautiful smile.
Sweet Mo - the glue that held the brothers together. The most musically talented of them as well. He did all the arrangements. And he was so damn cute...
Closer Than Close is one of those hidden gems from the Bee Gee very underrated 90's songs catalog. They really show their diversity during this time-frame. This performance is from their awesome One Night Only Concert from Las Vegas in 1997. The Bee Gees really do a great job covering every era of their careers during this show.
I love Mo. My favorite by him is “Man In The Middle”. I think you would also like “Our Love” written by The Bee Gees for their younger brother Andy who recorded it late 70s or early 80s. After he passed in 1989, The Bee Gees included it in their live shows as a tribute to Andy. Best version is on the album “One Night Live”.
I love this song!! So glad you are reacting to it! MO was very special and nobody really realized just how talented he was!! RIP Maurice, forever in our hearts
I agree the Bee Gees are super fantastic!! Wildflower is another song spot lighting Maurice Gibb, very beautiful song, give it a listen you won't regret it!! Also Man in the Middle, Maurice wrote.
Love your response and reactions both of you Andy Gibb next please our love don't throw it all away, everlasting love song,I just want to be your everything ,love is thicker than water, desire so many good songs by the Gibbs brothers all four of them
Most of their songs have this dreamy, light and otherworldly quality but is one draws me in a romantic trance state like no other. Mo's voice is hypnotic
@@generationgapreacts @Generation Gap Reacts Another great mesmerizing song is Sensuality. 1997 and unreleased, unfortunately. I could wite a thesis on it - sounds, lyrics, voice 🤭 Robin's creations were... ehhm considered eccentric as his personality, 25 years ago. He is my favourite
@@susieq9801 @Susie Q LOL. I find his eccentricity to be positive, inspiring, transcendental while celebrating humanism. Sometimes his eyes reflects this and so much more.
@@kori2287 - Agree. When he sings, his eyes are so expressive, often even closed or looking skyward, and reflect the lyrics. He sang with his heart and soul. He was often criticized for his eccentricity, perhaps at times justifiably so, but if we were all alike the world would be extremely boring. He was also the most philanthropic and socially active, something few know about him. He even wrote a beautiful orchestral piece, the Titanic Requiem, the last year of his life, without being able to read music. Just visited his grave in Thame two weeks ago and the flowers, photos and tributes from all over the world are overwhelming over ten years since his death. He was very active and much loved in the town where he lived.
Any of these guys could have been great as solo acts but so glad they stayed together. Mo said - One of us is pretty good, two is better but the three of us together is magic. Right on Mo.
We will never hear anything like this again in our lifetime. I just put it on repeat and go about my day if I'm driving or just chilling out at the house. Definitely in my top 5 which says a lot about my boys!
👍👍 What I've noticed over the years, is the more I hear Maurice and Robin separately, the more I can recognize all three voices when they harmonize, and realize how it would be so different if even one of them was not singing!
Mo has a great voice, yes a bit sensual but great as usual, Love the Bee Gees!!! Another great song Mo is lead on is Walking on air a great song. Actually as you go through the Bee Gees catalog there are many that Mo sang lead. They categorized themselves as pop mostly but they loved R&B and have some great ballots as well.... Robin headlines in Don't fall in love with me Baby.....Barry is just great in The only love..... What can I say they are the Bee Gees!!!! Great reaction ladies!!
Oooo. Love this maurice masterpiece. His omega man and Man in the Middle are also awe inspiring. His style is so understated, both in his music and his apparel. Debonair would be the old world term.
During the 1997 Las Vegas One Night Only show! Doesn't Mo look FABULOUS!! LOVE his voice!! Love the Still Waters album, my favorite!! Try other songs from Still Waters, can't go wrong!! And another good song of his is Walking on Air. Also Wildflower :) Oh, and a great Robin lead is I Will from Still Waters album, y'all will love it!!
They had a practice of the primary writer singing the lead. Even tho all 3 might have writing credit, it was about who brought in the idea.If the idea was born while together, there are more harmonies, alternating leads, and mixed vocals leads. Barry and Robin were the dominant idea men, but all 3 usually completed the writing together. If Mo is singing lead, he usually wrote words and music, provided all vocals, and played all instruments except drums and orchestra on the studio recording. They had a preferred practice of writing in the studio and then immediately recording, because it allowed for creative spontaneity. In a 60’s interview, their manager Robert Stigwood said that Mo could instantly arrange whatever Barry and Robin wrote, which was a key to their ability to work the way they did. It so interesting how opposite Robin and Mo were, even tho twins. Robin preferred writing lyrics and thrived on vocals, while Mo was known to not like writing lyrics, and thrive on instrumental aspects and trying every new gadget that cane out. Mo was also extremely extroverted, and Robin just as equally introverted, while Barry is a more balanced and complete package all in one. Mo’s ability to naturally play all instruments by ear, place the third harmony, and instantly arrange are totally genius qualities that were super important to their body of work. They are said to have had a sort of telepathy when writing together, with many of their hits being written in just 4 to 10 minutes. For all of their professional competitiveness, they all seemed to be each other’s biggest fans. One of Mo’s most important roles for the groups was to be the “MAN IN THE MIDDLE” (name one of his songs on their final album before he passed) of his two very competitive alpha musician brothers. He could be the most Rock and Roll of the 3, while also excelling at Country. Please react to his song HOLD HER IN YOUR HAND.
yess great to see you guys listening to Mo! his signature song persay was Man In The Middle, which is worth listening to as well :)) i would love to see you guys react to I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You from this same One Night Only concert, it’s pure musical mastery
Hello from Canada. You should have s look at the making of Immortality written for Celine Dion with them all making it happen. The brothers get so emotional hearing their song Sung by Celine. Also there is a tribute song sung by them called Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow but must see and hear them making this song in the studio. It is fantastic. Thank you, love the Bee Gees Loreta
My Sweet Mo!! He had a beautiful pure voice. He could sing right into your heart. The man could do the highest of harmonies and down to a low baritone, almost bass, range. This is from 1997's "Still Waters" album. There are many songs there for you to delve into also. He could be very sensual and emotive; even a little suggestive (Yeah for me!). The clip you have is from the "One Night Only" concert. If you want a different Mo lead, try "Dimensions" from the 1991 "High Civilization" album. I love the hard edge and the percussive sound. Mo is like a fireball coming right at you, and you can hear him sing low register harmony on the choruses. ruclips.net/video/AmjC6UBCBSY/видео.html
FYI, almost always they got an idea from a word or phrase, or a phrase of melody and wrote the music 1st. And once the music is set then they wrote the lyrics to fit the melody. They never altered the melody to fit the lyrics!
Love me some Mo! He deserves all the accolades and love showered on him-- the Man in the Middle with amazing musical skills. Robin and Barry were the Alpha males who were competitive, and funny, amiable Maurice kept them in line (mostly successful, I think because they never broke up the group after 1970). "Closer Than Close" is so beautiful sounding, and Maurice's vocals are perfect for the song.
If I had to attach a genre to this song.... I'd probably go with R&B/Soul. I find the song.... ETHEREAL. It gives me a feeling of floating. It's both airy and delicate at the same time.
More of Maurice: With his first wife Lulu; also a famous singer in the UK 'First of May' - ruclips.net/video/DwfYO_S13_0/видео.html and Country-Style-Solo 'Hold Her In Your Hand' - ruclips.net/video/NIWXEeonRlk/видео.html
Could you react to Maurice's solo songs "Hold Her in Your Hand" "Railroad" and "Walking on Air" Mo has a wonderful voice and these two songs shows his talent.
Another great song lead by Maurice was Man in the Middle, check it out he sings it so well. Another song worth checking is Immortality written by the Bee Gees but also singing lead on this song is Celine Dion its fantastic!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Next......"Man in the Middle" with Maurice singing lead. Then "Bodyguard"with Robins great lead. Thanks for doing my request. Yay. The best song from the ONE album is "Tears".
As you probably heard before, The Bee Gees have many different styles, even on the same album they have completely different sounding songs. If you like Maurice's voice some other good songs of his are Wildflower, and Walking on air.
@@generationgapreacts If you want to check more of Maurice out, you should listen to "Man in the Middle". He wrote the song and it was later released on their final studio album. It reflected his position as a brother, his position in the band and his problems with alcohol over the decades. It is a great song with once again a total different style as this one here.
This is why Maurice is my favorite beegeee......If you're interested in listening to his solos please try wallflower ( 80s, I think), Railroad (70s), from his unreleased solo album The Loner , Hold her in your hand (80s), a country style track, there was another track I wanted to mention from their earlier work Lay it on me , above and ....he performed it in their 1974 Melbourne concert.....thanks so much...love your reactions..... .
Maurice is my favorite Gibb brother. He has got the greatest sense of humor. He is as sexy as they come. I love his personality. And I hope I can say this but he has a really cute backside. I discovered that when watching you should be dancing that had their little brother Andy in the video. Check that out.😊
Maurice first wife was Lulu, singer who sang to Sir With Love. Was also an actress who played in the movie with same name opposite Sidney Poitier. This is why they lasted so long, could change their sound with the times.
Be Who You Are by the Bee Gees.
Love Mo!!
Rip To Robin, Maurice & Andy Gibb, We Still Miss You Guy's Always
He is so adorable. He could light up a room with his smile.
Yeah Mo's voice is awesome
They can sing any type of song
I also love the way he dresses that hat,that long black trench coat, and those black pants wow!
Mo has a beautiful voice
Maurice was at his most healthy and happy here after all he suffered with Alcoholism. It was so wonderful to hear his beautiful voice and see his beautiful smile.
Man in the middle is another good one from Mo
I think this is a very sensual song. A very romantic song.
Glad to see Mo getting some love. ❤️
It would be great to react to him singing the Live version from 1979. It is stunning!
Wish you were here by The bee gees
My favorite, thank you.
House of shame... Dimensions..Wildflower...Omega Man...Man in the middle... Walking on air....few of Maurices songs.
bee gees Sacred Trust
Railroad is a very good one from Mo.
Very sensual lyrics love his smooth mellow voice
Sweet Mo - the glue that held the brothers together. The most musically talented of them as well. He did all the arrangements. And he was so damn cute...
And so funny and kind.
Totally agree
Love my MO. Should check out Man in the MIddle. It's about his struggles and what he put his family through
Such a sultry voice.
You ladies are just lovely
They should've let Mo sing lead more. Beautiful voice.
All 3 are so talented and gifted. They gave us decades of fantastic music.
It's ethereal. I never realized how sexy Mo was.
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions Ladies
it was very sensual

Their style of songs changed over the decades .The falcetto disco was only a small part of their singing range
I'm 70 and loved them since the 60s I just love their later songs alot
I been watching this concert so many times 😅
Watch Man in the middle Maurice as lead
My lovers prayer by The Bee gees
Barry’s son,Stepen,is on stage,with them,playing guitar.
This if of the Still waters album 1997 absolutly brilliant album
'Closer than close' was the B side from 'Alone', which I loved so much. Barry & Maurice Gibb wrote this song. I was 37 then!! 😧😧.
Great song
Best thing about this Bee Gees group is you travel along the song, mersemerised!. 90% of the songs are just fantastically human.
R&B / Jazz. Beautiful song for sure
You should do their tribute to Andy if you want to cry.
I love Mo. My favorite by him is “Man In The Middle”. I think you would also like “Our Love” written by The Bee Gees for their younger brother Andy who recorded it late 70s or early 80s.

I love this song!! So glad you are reacting to it! MO was very special and nobody really realized just how talented he was!! RIP Maurice, forever in our hearts
Thank you for watching! Makes me sad that I’m finally appreciating these songs and they aren’t with us anymore 😔
@@generationgapreacts Barry is 🙂
Yep the glue that kept them together
From the Bee Gees album titled Still Waters, 1997
Absolutely Mesmerizing! No one comes close to the Bee Gees when it comes to professionalism and perfection, heartfelt and beautiful. Dreamlike!
Bee Gees, "Man in the Middle", "Still Waters", "Just in Case". Gotta do them all!
One more Bee Gees I can think of is Words another great song
Bee gees This is where I came in
And the Making of video!
You would love "Alone" from one night only concert.
I agree the Bee Gees are super fantastic!! Wildflower is another song spot lighting Maurice Gibb, very beautiful song, give it a listen you won't regret it!! Also Man in the Middle, Maurice wrote.
Awesome
...watch that whole live show 'One Night Only' - its mind blowing - their ultimate heritage! xx
Love your response and reactions both of you Andy Gibb next please our love don't throw it all away, everlasting love song,I just want to be your everything ,love is thicker than water, desire so many good songs by the Gibbs brothers all four of them

All three very talented. Sad Morris and Robyn are Gone. But what a legacy they left behind.
Any of these guys could have been great as solo acts but so glad they stayed together. Mo said - One of us is pretty good, two is better but the three of us together is magic. Right on Mo.
if you love good harmonies try the little river band
That's their ability, to creep into our souls, just closer than close! Mo is such a gem! Listen to 'Trafalgar'.
It hit #1 in UK
Song for Andy!!!!!!!
Can't wait for my requests
My first comment was before I heard the end of you reaction comments. Funny we both used the term 'Dreamlike'!!
please...remember to listen "living eyes " from them.....an anthem
Thanks for some Mo!
One of my favorites of his is Above and Beyond.
I LOVE that song!
Gotta get a letter to you by BEEGEES.
We will never hear anything like this again in our lifetime. I just put it on repeat and go about my day if I'm driving or just chilling out at the house. Definitely in my top 5 which says a lot about my boys!

That's why the Bee Gees died with Mo. The magic only happened when it was all three of them.
Maurice como seus irmãos, também tinha um talento espetacular! Amo os Bee Gees!!❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
"Happy ever after" an album track but fantastic
Mo has a great voice, yes a bit sensual but great as usual, Love the Bee Gees!!! Another great song Mo is lead on is Walking on air a great song. Actually as you go through the Bee Gees catalog there are many that Mo sang lead. They categorized themselves as pop mostly but they loved R&B and have some great ballots as well.... Robin headlines in Don't fall in love with me Baby.....Barry is just great in The only love..... What can I say they are the Bee Gees!!!! Great reaction ladies!!
WALKING ON AIR is my fav Mo song!!!
