So true, you don’t hear songs about love, pining, courtship, doubt, nor anything resembling humbleness. Songs now are caustic, biting, sneering, gloating or animalistic-lly sexual-In a way not even animals could act out. Love songs. True, visceral, and deep from the heart-When did we stop singing the music?
Being an old..ish man it always makes me smile when the younger generation listen to this music what for us was just normal in the 70s / 80s it just seemed weekly that we had a choice of simply great music, and its not until now we all realise how bloody good it was, I suppose I was lucky to have experienced these great decades for music.
I was born early 80s and grew up in a house where all this great music from 60s and 70s were played everyday. I'm glad I got to know great music at a young age thanks to my parents and uncles
The beautiful and unique thing about the Bee Gees are their voices sound lke musical instruments and compliment the actual musical instruments in a magical fusion of the two .....Night Fever is another one of their classic songs
Thanks for your reaction. The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too ruclips.net/video/7niXSh7vWRI/видео.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: ruclips.net/video/WH_j90fCIk4/видео.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out ruclips.net/video/vfHUS5Mf00Q/видео.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: ruclips.net/video/MT9vRHSWNbk/видео.html. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you ruclips.net/video/CA4CInDnTk8/видео.html. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: ruclips.net/video/162GlAEpfrY/видео.html. Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on ruclips.net/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/видео.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing ruclips.net/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/видео.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg
Lovely reaction Ola, it's so nice to see young people discovering these incredibly talented singer/songwriters from the golden age of popular music. For us boomers we grew up with them in the 60's & 70's. Their music is immortal & so beautifully genuine, it touches your heart & soul like no other. Some more suggestions: You should be dancing, Robin singing lead on his big hit - I started a joke, How can you mend a broken heart, Fanny be tender, Nights on Broadway, Tragedy & For whom the bell tolls, enjoy the journey!
I know you say you'll pick out the most requested song from The Bee Gees to listen to next, but I'm telling you. If you really want to hear the best song Robin ever sang, you need to listen to I started a joke. It is one of the greatest songs. Ever and Robin was the lead for that whole song. The emotion of that song. You'll be crying as much as you love. Robin when you hear him sing that song it'll make you cry it's that beautiful.
Reminds me of my 9th grade crush in 1978. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and this song highlighted every 14-year-old emotion I had of her. I wonder where she is now :)
My recommendation for next Bee Gees reaction is For Whom the Bell Tolls. You will see them more mature, as this music was released about 16 years after the one you just reacted.
You wanna hear Robin's vocals, go back in time to 1967. Massachusetts, I Started A Joke, I've Got to get a message to you. Those are prior to the disco era. Phenomenal. Beautiful voice by far
I also wanted to add in the 80s Robin had some awesome solo albums. Secret Agent, How old are you, and Walls have Eyes. Some of his best later music were Juliet, Toys, You don't say us anymore, also with the beegees he sings lead on lovers, love me, tokyo nights, and if you really want a hot song. Take a listen to Bodyguard. Omg Robin as sexiest
@@Zlata1313 It's relevant when most prob think a solo Gibb album would be written solely by them, which isn't true....even though they're all prolific songwriters.
One of a long list of very beautiful songs by the brothers. "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Wedding Day", "Tears", "My Lover's Prayer", just to name a few. The list goes on. And that's not mentioning their pre-Saturday Night Fever, early stuff.
Great reaction The brothers Gib absolutely phenomenal talented guys, no auto tune in them days, just pure talent, Robins vocals in the song ( I Started A Joke ) are phenomenal and another song ( For Whom The Bell Tolls) check them out Robins voice is amazing! Great reaction thanks!
More proof, that everything great comes out of England. The North West especially. Now even though the family moved to Australia in the 1950's. I'm still proud, that they are/were of *English Stock.* ha ha ha
But Aussies keep claiming them as theirs. Annoying tbh. They only spent 9 years in Australia. Barry, in fact, spent most of his childhood in the British Isles. They were actually born on the Isle of Man but their parents were English born. Still Brits, though, as Manx people are Brit citizens.
Great reaction vid, you should check out the song Night Fever, a great song also. They wrote a lot of the music for a movie called "Saturday Night Fever" starring John Travolta... Defo worth checking out. 👍
It's fun when young people discover the music of my youth We rode around in cars and played it on 8 track. Sending love to you young lady, All the best, Thomas

"We're living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be -- we belong to you and me" -- an obscure line that is so profound and brilliant it speaks to us today.
my most favorite songs of all time back in 1977 I was playing varsity football California on the beach high school🏈…this song was playing in the background somebody’s radio.. just get ready to play our football game…. Friday night🏈.. awesome memories…I’m in my 60s
Well done for picking up on the beautiful string arrangement! - I’ve watched a few reactions to this song & (understandably on first or second listen) no one ever comments on that. For a recommendation, I think you would enjoy their hit single ‘Run to me’, from before the disco era. Cheers
Yeah! Join the Robin crowd. One reactor said, "Don't let these guys anywhere near your girl friends!" LOL Maurice gets overlooked. Check him out singing Lay It On Me, on the Midnight Special (you will love Robin in that one). Maurice has such a twinkle in his eye.
For a time no one..NO one..beat the Bee Gees. And today they are as great as they ever were. God bless them and RIP to the twins. They were at their height Id say in 78. I was 9 years old and loved them. i wanted to sound like them and have Barry's hair lol. Never sounded like them but had the hair :)
You're a girl after my own heart! As you can tell by my profile picture Robin is my true love. He has been since this wonderful group came on the scene in 1967. Once you mentioned that Robin was your favorite I had to immediately subscribe to your wonderful channel. I hope you eventually react to some of Robin's leads such as "I Started a Joke" (Melbourne 1989 concert would be a great choice) and "I Can't See Nobody"(The Midnight Special just released a 1973 performance which, in my humble opinion, is his best performance of this song ever). These are just two of many Robin leads that will make you fall in love with this amazing man even more! Can't wait for what you have in store for us next.
Laurie, could I ask you a question? Do you know if any footage exists of Robin singing "Country Lanes?" It's one of my all-time favorite vocal performances of his, but I have never found so much as a brief clip of them singing it live.
@@Buffbino I'm almost 100% sure that "Country Lanes" was never performed live anywhere. And, to me, that's just a crying shame. 😥 I've often thought of Robin pouring out his heart and soul on this masterpiece like he does on all his leads during live performances. This wonderful man just touches your heart with his beautiful vocals. His 1973 "Midnight Special" performance of "I Can't See Nobody" that the "The Midnight Special" channel just recently released without the credits rolling at the end definitely touches me in this way every time I see it. My heart just melts! ❤️
I had just recommended to Ola that she react to "I Can't See Nobody" next -- either the 1973 Midnight Special show or the 1974 Melbourne concert. It's hard to choose, as Robin's vocals are simply perfect in both, and he pours himself into his performances -- his raw emotion, closing his eyes, swaying his body, and conducting with his hand. (Of course, there is that amazing moment of distraction in the 1974 concert that will likely have Ola smiling from ear to ear!) Like Maurice said, "Robin's voice is the one that touches your heart." Ohh, how I wish a live version of "Country Lanes" will surface one day! @@lauriebarnes2999
@@Buffbino Yes, I also hope that a live performance of "Country Lanes" surfaces one day. There have been a few pleasant surprises over the years where really rare videos have surfaced that gives me some hope that we might just get our wish. What an amazing performance that would be. On my "wish" list is also the 1976 video of their "Here At Last" concert. Robin sporting that great beard of his! I've only seen little snippets from fans who actually attended that concert and filmed very small parts of it. The quality was really poor but it was, in fact, recorded for a later TV special but was canceled due to poor quality as well. My only hope is that a copy of this special still exists and that Barry can get it to all us fans. I've pleaded several times in past comments that, since I'm not getting any younger (I'll be 71 on July 31st), I'd love my dream to come true sooner rather then later! 😊 Heck, I'd be satisfied if only "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" would surface because I have never heard Robin sing that song the way he did that night. We're only used to him starting the song and doing his harmony parts with his brothers but this night was different. He threw in adlibs throughout the song and even harmonized with Barry on one of the "no one said a word about the sorrow" phrase about midway in the song. The first time that I heard him sing the "extras" I was truly blown away by it. I listen to this version quite often and just can't listen to it enough. I'm pretty sure that you probably have listened to it but, if for some reason you haven't, check it out because it's awesome. I only wish there was a video of him doing it. Sigh. 😥
I recently downloaded the audio of that 1976 "Here At Last" concert and can’t wait to listen to it! I know that they sing “Come On Over,” which I looooove! Now I’m also looking forward to the version of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" that you described! Wow, a video of that concert would be incredible - I’ve seen some great stills (and Robin with his beard!). On my “wish list” is a restored blu-ray of the 1974 Melbourne Concert! Robin sings and looks like an angel there.@@lauriebarnes2999
Hi Olavity. Love your reaction to this song as its goes with your top love all your outfits as your dress sense is impeccable as your a lovely and beautiful woman ,you try out ' Tragedy ', Jive Talking ,Alone, You Win Again, You should be dancing, More than a Woman, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰💋💋💋💋💋
Barry, Robin Maurice & Andy the baby.... Barry was typically lead singer. No bad songs. They have 100's of songs.. madlyvin love with Barry & Andy when I was young. Barry is my favorite ❤
Grew up with the 70-80s music! Bee Gees sometimes didn’t get the credit that was due to them. It took awhile and now generations can see these are true special musical artists. They are legends!
Other greats BG songs:Alone,To Love Somebody,How Cand You Mend A Broken Heart(Live),Run To Me,Nights On Broadway,I Gotta Get A Message To You,You Win Again,Secret Love,Holiday,I Started I Joke,Night Fever. Greetings from Argentina 🖐
The Saturday Night Fever movie came out at the height of the disco era. This song is one of the all-time great slow dance songs. At every party I went to at that time, this song was a 'must play' so everyone would get a chance to slow dance with their honey.
"Sexy Ass",Kkkkkk lol...irmãos Bee Gees nasceram para abrilhantar nossas vidas...triste que Maurice e Robin ja nos deixaram e voltaram para onde,antes estavam...
You really should check out an Andy Gibb song. He sings with his brothers in a video of 'You should be dancing' but I love his songs, 'Don't throw it all away', and 'I just want to be your everything'... you will swoon. The BeeGees have so many amazing songs that you could never go wrong. I love [besides the ones you have already done] Tragedy, Words, You win again, I started a joke, Night fever, More than a woman, Jive talkin, Alone, Nights on broadway, To love somebody... I could go on :). If you want some other amazing groups with spectacular songs and harmonies, check out ABBA 'Dancing queen', 'Fernando' etc; and The Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations', 'Surfin USA', 'California Girls' etc. Hugs from Oz
Omg I love them so so much! 😭🩷 And your channel also! Love the music you listen to, I'm only 26 years old and love it so so much. 🥹 these types of music mean everything to me.
It's sad, yet beautiful to witness the emotional response of a younger generation exposed to real music. This era of music was when gifted musicians shared moments of the human experience. This type of music can resonate with many people. "Much" of the music today seems to be regurgitated ideas, resampled phrases, digitally altered voices through auto tune, all attached to an industry proven catchy beat conveying sheer nonsense for profit. There is so little good music produced anymore.
Their One Night Only show in Las Vegas shows what true musicians, showmen, and songwriters they are. Their catalog of great songs is simply huge, and remember these guys were making these harmonies long before autotune and pitch correction were a thing. They have so many great songs that they abbreviated many into a medley for runtime. Another little known fact is Barry was having severe back pain when he did that show that made his signature falsetto's very difficult and just doing the show a test of his endurance. You can look at so many artists album credits and on so many you will find a Gibb on it somewhere as a writer, arranger, or producer. They were hit machines. I think the only time they missed the mark badly was the theme song for Grease since it does not at all have a 1950's sound to it, but damn, its still a great song and that same comment could be made for Olivia's Hopelessly Devoted.
This awesome song was first brought up the idea and melody by Barry with the keyboardist Blue Weaver in France...of course later released in together with the talented twins...🎉❤ they were really gave us so much fun in the music🎉❤
This probably in my 50p 5 faves ... when I was a tween my crush was there younger brother Andy but as an adult it was Maurice esp when he wore his hat & short beard 🥰

I love it when the younger generations refer to this as "true music"
100% Bro!!
70s. 😊
Sadly, Barry is the only live member. I think Robin & Morris were twins. Truly gems , & so glad the new generation is loving soft sounds
this is 1 of the most beautiful songs the Bee Gees ever did.
This is what is known as a love song. It's totally different from today's music. These songs were like love letters put to music.
So true, you don’t hear songs about love, pining, courtship, doubt, nor anything resembling humbleness.
Songs now are caustic, biting, sneering, gloating or animalistic-lly sexual-In a way not even animals could act out.
Love songs. True, visceral, and deep from the heart-When did we stop singing the music?
EXACTLY!!😊
These voices belong together. Perfect harmony. I was born in 1956 and have listened to the Bee Gees my whole life.
Being an old..ish man it always makes me smile when the younger generation listen to this music what for us was just normal in the 70s / 80s it just seemed weekly that we had a choice of simply great music, and its not until now we all realise how bloody good it was, I suppose I was lucky to have experienced these great decades for music.
Spot on!
I was born early 80s and grew up in a house where all this great music from 60s and 70s were played everyday. I'm glad I got to know great music at a young age thanks to my parents and uncles
Best band to me hands down. They changed music forever!
I remember when Saturday Night Fever was popular as I graduated from high school.
What a wonderful time to be alive.
It came out my Freshman year of HS. All the guys started getting their hair styled like Tony.
Queen, ABBA, Bee Gees….some of the true artists, in a category of their own. ❤
Indeed!
Journey, Chicago, Kansas, .... many great bands out there that you could fit in that category.
Let's not forget about the Carpenters!
Best line ever.
" cause we're living in a world of fools.
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be.
I love it....
I thought it was "rules"
Arguably the greatest LOVE SONG ever recorded... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Love Robin? Make HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART next in your Bee Gee's reaction...
I started a joke is another she needs to listen to. Robin lead
Making women go all gooey inside for the last 46 years! 😁
I appreciate reaction. "Anyone who's a friend of the BEE GEES is a friend of mine"🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The beautiful and unique thing about the Bee Gees are their voices sound lke musical instruments and compliment the actual musical instruments in a magical fusion of the two .....Night Fever is another one of their classic songs

So happy you have found this type of music! You may already know this... Robin, and Morris are twins!!!
@kimcorwin3270 it's spelled Maurice but pronounced "Morris"
Allwise give me chills when Barry turns up his voice while the violins play in the background in this part of the song: 4:22
Real men love women who love the Bee Gees.
A song that just melts your heart, doesn't it?
Great reaction The brothers Gib absolutely phenomenal talented guys, no auto tune in them days, just pure talent, Robins vocals in the song ( I Started A Joke ) are phenomenal and another song ( For Whom The Bell Tolls) check them out Robins voice is amazing! Great reaction thanks!

It's fun when young people discover the music of my youth We rode around in cars and played it on 8 track. Sending love to you young lady, All the best, Thomas

Would love to see her react to Barbra Streisand & Barry's 2 duets in her backyard!
Please check out Robin on lead vocals in "Heart Like Mine". One of the most beautiful songs ever!
Yes.😊
Heart Like Mine is a shared lead with Barry.
The Bee Gees where super popular in the 70s this was.1977
Saturday night fever is a great classic you will love it
"We're living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be -- we belong to you and me" -- an obscure line that is so profound and brilliant it speaks to us today.
What a heartfelt reaction ! Thank you for posting, and being adorable ❤
"You Win Again" is probably my fav from them.
Me too ❤
I hear you. As an 80's kid i love their 80's albums, especially E.S.P. and One. Still have the "You Win Again" 7'' single i got in 87
Great reaction as usual❤
A lot of babies were made to the sound of BeeGees!
the smile and googly eyes when robin is first highlighted is adorable....
In my opinion the greatest ever love song.😢
HiOlavity . You should also check out ' Massachusetts ' which I think your man Robin sings lead vocal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😚😚😚😚😚
my most favorite songs of all time back in 1977 I was playing varsity football California on the beach high school🏈…this song was playing in the background somebody’s radio.. just get ready to play our football game…. Friday night🏈.. awesome memories…I’m in my 60s
Well done for picking up on the beautiful string arrangement! - I’ve watched a few reactions to this song & (understandably on first or second listen) no one ever comments on that.
For a recommendation, I think you would enjoy their hit single ‘Run to me’, from before the disco era. Cheers
This song never disappoints!
Nights on Broadway on the Midnight Special is a great performance to show them individually with their chest and head voices.
Yeah! Join the Robin crowd. One reactor said, "Don't let these guys anywhere near your girl friends!" LOL Maurice gets overlooked. Check him out singing Lay It On Me, on the Midnight Special (you will love Robin in that one). Maurice has such a twinkle in his eye.
Check out Robins vocals in the song ( KISS OF LIFE) absolutely stunning performance!
3:06, SAME! When I reacted to this, it felt like I was in love 🥰 Great reaction 😁
For a time no one..NO one..beat the Bee Gees. And today they are as great as they ever were. God bless them and RIP to the twins. They were at their height Id say in 78. I was 9 years old and loved them. i wanted to sound like them and have Barry's hair lol. Never sounded like them but had the hair :)
Grandma and grandpa already knew what was good.
It's nice that people like you make sure she isn't forgotten.
You're a girl after my own heart! As you can tell by my profile picture Robin is my true love. He has been since this wonderful group came on the scene in 1967. Once you mentioned that Robin was your favorite I had to immediately subscribe to your wonderful channel. I hope you eventually react to some of Robin's leads such as "I Started a Joke" (Melbourne 1989 concert would be a great choice) and "I Can't See Nobody"(The Midnight Special just released a 1973 performance which, in my humble opinion, is his best performance of this song ever). These are just two of many Robin leads that will make you fall in love with this amazing man even more! Can't wait for what you have in store for us next.
Laurie, could I ask you a question? Do you know if any footage exists of Robin singing "Country Lanes?" It's one of my all-time favorite vocal performances of his, but I have never found so much as a brief clip of them singing it live.
@@Buffbino I'm almost 100% sure that "Country Lanes" was never performed live anywhere. And, to me, that's just a crying shame. 😥 I've often thought of Robin pouring out his heart and soul on this masterpiece like he does on all his leads during live performances. This wonderful man just touches your heart with his beautiful vocals. His 1973 "Midnight Special" performance of "I Can't See Nobody" that the "The Midnight Special" channel just recently released without the credits rolling at the end definitely touches me in this way every time I see it. My heart just melts! ❤️
I had just recommended to Ola that she react to "I Can't See Nobody" next -- either the 1973 Midnight Special show or the 1974 Melbourne concert. It's hard to choose, as Robin's vocals are simply perfect in both, and he pours himself into his performances -- his raw emotion, closing his eyes, swaying his body, and conducting with his hand. (Of course, there is that amazing moment of distraction in the 1974 concert that will likely have Ola smiling from ear to ear!) Like Maurice said, "Robin's voice is the one that touches your heart." Ohh, how I wish a live version of "Country Lanes" will surface one day! @@lauriebarnes2999
@@Buffbino Yes, I also hope that a live performance of "Country Lanes" surfaces one day. There have been a few pleasant surprises over the years where really rare videos have surfaced that gives me some hope that we might just get our wish. What an amazing performance that would be. On my "wish" list is also the 1976 video of their "Here At Last" concert. Robin sporting that great beard of his! I've only seen little snippets from fans who actually attended that concert and filmed very small parts of it. The quality was really poor but it was, in fact, recorded for a later TV special but was canceled due to poor quality as well. My only hope is that a copy of this special still exists and that Barry can get it to all us fans. I've pleaded several times in past comments that, since I'm not getting any younger (I'll be 71 on July 31st), I'd love my dream to come true sooner rather then later! 😊 Heck, I'd be satisfied if only "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" would surface because I have never heard Robin sing that song the way he did that night. We're only used to him starting the song and doing his harmony parts with his brothers but this night was different. He threw in adlibs throughout the song and even harmonized with Barry on one of the "no one said a word about the sorrow" phrase about midway in the song. The first time that I heard him sing the "extras" I was truly blown away by it. I listen to this version quite often and just can't listen to it enough. I'm pretty sure that you probably have listened to it but, if for some reason you haven't, check it out because it's awesome. I only wish there was a video of him doing it. Sigh. 😥
I recently downloaded the audio of that 1976 "Here At Last" concert and can’t wait to listen to it! I know that they sing “Come On Over,” which I looooove! Now I’m also looking forward to the version of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" that you described! Wow, a video of that concert would be incredible - I’ve seen some great stills (and Robin with his beard!). On my “wish list” is a restored blu-ray of the 1974 Melbourne Concert! Robin sings and looks like an angel there.@@lauriebarnes2999
Hi Olavity. Love your reaction to this song as its goes with your top love all your outfits as your dress sense is impeccable as your a lovely and beautiful woman ,you try out ' Tragedy ', Jive Talking ,Alone, You Win Again, You should be dancing, More than a Woman, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰💋💋💋💋💋
Saw them live at Dodger Stadium in the summer of 1979. What a great time that was.
Barry, Robin Maurice & Andy the baby.... Barry was typically lead singer. No bad songs. They have 100's of songs.. madlyvin love with Barry & Andy when I was young. Barry is my favorite ❤
Yep ...Robin s solo of " I Started a Joke " is actually my favorite BeeGees song . !!!!!
Beautiful.
Truly "true music"
I grew up in the 70s and took for granted this wonderful music. They ARE magical! Thank you, Bee Gees!
Grew up with the 70-80s music! Bee Gees sometimes didn’t get the credit that was due to them. It took awhile and now generations can see these are true special musical artists. They are legends!
Other greats BG songs:Alone,To Love Somebody,How Cand You Mend A Broken Heart(Live),Run To Me,Nights On Broadway,I Gotta Get A Message To You,You Win Again,Secret Love,Holiday,I Started I Joke,Night Fever. Greetings from Argentina 🖐
❤❤❤❤ your reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️
…… your adorable ❤️
❤❤❤❤A harmonia nas vozes, não existe como desses irmãos geniais! ❤❤❤❤💪✨✨✨🇧🇷🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏
This song lives in my head rent free ❤
Another signature of the Bee gees was their perfect harmony 🎉❤..wow they had so many signature .apart from each gibb brother's unique voice..🎉❤
The Saturday Night Fever movie came out at the height of the disco era. This song is one of the all-time great slow dance songs. At every party I went to at that time, this song was a 'must play' so everyone would get a chance to slow dance with their honey.
💜💜💜💜💜 siguo mirandote
Great reaction to a beautiful song. You would enjoy I Surrender, When he’s gone, Kiss of life, I could not love you more and Wedding Day ❤❤❤❤
Summer night fever. Nostalgic.
Olavity so excited! Cool!!
"Sexy Ass",Kkkkkk lol...irmãos Bee Gees nasceram para abrilhantar nossas vidas...triste que Maurice e Robin ja nos deixaram
e voltaram para onde,antes estavam...
I remember listening to this back in 76-77 Sunday afternoon, repeating it on my record player and the 45s single
God, how I miss my youth, didn't realise how great it was😢
I love seeing ur reaction when u listen to these guys! You smile so big! Goes to show, u have great taste in music and in men!!!
You really should check out an Andy Gibb song. He sings with his brothers in a video of 'You should be dancing' but I love his songs, 'Don't throw it all away', and 'I just want to be your everything'... you will swoon. The BeeGees have so many amazing songs that you could never go wrong. I love [besides the ones you have already done] Tragedy, Words, You win again, I started a joke, Night fever, More than a woman, Jive talkin, Alone, Nights on broadway, To love somebody... I could go on :). If you want some other amazing groups with spectacular songs and harmonies, check out ABBA 'Dancing queen', 'Fernando' etc; and The Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations', 'Surfin USA', 'California Girls' etc. Hugs from Oz
Robin has a beautiful voice on his own. My favourite song from them is an old one called Run to Me.
Omg I love them so so much! 😭🩷
And your channel also! Love the music you listen to, I'm only 26 years old and love it so so much. 🥹 these types of music mean everything to me.
The Brothers Gibb haven't made a bad song. Incredible talent. Such a gift they've left us all.
This song really is a gem and makes all the ladies fall in love with it, it has very wise and beautiful words that break the heart
Love your reaction Ola, you are the best!!!❤
its just music as we love
It's sad, yet beautiful to witness the emotional response of a younger generation exposed to real music. This era of music was when gifted musicians shared moments of the human experience. This type of music can resonate with many people. "Much" of the music today seems to be regurgitated ideas, resampled phrases, digitally altered voices through auto tune, all attached to an industry proven catchy beat conveying sheer nonsense for profit. There is so little good music produced anymore.
This song is my morning alarm so I get to wake up to it every day.
Their One Night Only show in Las Vegas shows what true musicians, showmen, and songwriters they are. Their catalog of great songs is simply huge, and remember these guys were making these harmonies long before autotune and pitch correction were a thing. They have so many great songs that they abbreviated many into a medley for runtime. Another little known fact is Barry was having severe back pain when he did that show that made his signature falsetto's very difficult and just doing the show a test of his endurance. You can look at so many artists album credits and on so many you will find a Gibb on it somewhere as a writer, arranger, or producer. They were hit machines. I think the only time they missed the mark badly was the theme song for Grease since it does not at all have a 1950's sound to it, but damn, its still a great song and that same comment could be made for Olivia's Hopelessly Devoted.
Love your reaction & bringing back memories. 😊
This awesome song was first brought up the idea and melody by Barry with the keyboardist Blue Weaver in France...of course later released in together with the talented twins...🎉❤ they were really gave us so much fun in the music🎉❤
Amo tus reacciones, sos muy dulce 😍😍😍
Really loved your reaction and comments. You would love Nights of Broadway (live version) and Run to Me (video)
Beegees 1st is one of the greatest albums of all time
This probably in my 50p 5 faves ... when I was a tween my crush was there younger brother Andy but as an adult it was Maurice esp when he wore his hat & short beard 🥰
