What great talent. No auto tune no tricks nothing but pure talent. The harmonies r unmatched. All 3 could blow off the roof but together they were unmatched.
This was Baby Making music back in my days.. Beautiful listening music.. The Bee Gees consisted of 3 brothers.. Barry the eldest with the amazing falsetto voice.. His twin brothers Maurice and Robyn.. The youngest and fourth brother also sang, his name was Andy Gibbs and was a solo singer.. All brothers passed away except for Barry.. I’m so glad this generation can relate to and enjoy our music.. No sex, no cursing, nothing but amazing lyrics and beautiful melodies… I miss my musical era.. Late 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s were the best time for me, music wise…
Your poor generation has been so starved for good music, real music, that when you hear it, it overwhelms you. What we took for granted back in the 70s it's like manna from heaven to this generation. I'm glad you had a chance to listen to the wonderful pop music that we had from back in the day!
I agree. Pausing it only once is understandable. Any more than that, and you will be chasing a lot of listeners away. I prefer listening all the way through. I also encourage taking notes and giving your reactions at the end. The best part about watching the video is seeing your facial reactions throughout the entire song. When you finally come to the end of your video. I like to read other people's comments.
The thing that made them so great, is that they were brothers. They also didn't have "Auto Tune". They sang perfect falsettos, and because they were brothers their pitch, tone. etc, were genetically perfectly in sync with each other.
If this (the Bee Gees) is a new "rabbit hole" you're going down, you are in for an amazing time! Don't miss their "Fanny Be Tender With My Love," or their "Alone" or "You Win Again." There are too many great ones to list here, the comment section will be full of requests. i can't wait to hear your reactions to ALL of them, thx for this one for starters! Oh, btw, their bio is as interesting as their music is great. There are several BeeGees bios here on RUclips. Enjoy!
Run to Me, Massachusetts, I Started a Joke, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Love So Right, Spirits (Having Flown), Tragedy, Boogie Child. And that's just scratching the surface.
Hi guys, I was young when the Bee Gees were so very popular. During disco days. My husband and I would go dancing, I would get goose bumps when I heard Barry. Like thunder struck. I listened with you tonight. In July 23. I still get goose bumps at 66 yrs old. Thanks for sharing.
I have to confess I truly love these two the beautiful Mel and Shawn there is so much that comes from them and of course I love the bee gees true talent that we received from them.
I grew up with this great group. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Barry has a great falsetto voice. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
If I'm not mistaken, all proceeds from the song have gone to UNICEF and this particular song is a true gift to all of humanity. It is truly wondrous to witness someone encountering true beauty.
@5:00 _"Nobody gets too much love anymore. _*_It's as wide as a river and harder to cry..."_* When I understood that line (as in, sometimes song lyrics are misheard, like "Scuze me, while I kiss this guy...") it almost broke me!
If I could listen to only one musical group for the rest of my life, it would be The Bee Gees. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, and the most beautiful vocals & harmony in all of modern day music.
The Bees Gees, 3 brothers, Barry (middle) and fraternal twins Robin (left) and Maurice (right) (pronounced Morris) is a very deep rabbit hole and worth every song!
Apart from their talented, they also generous to donate this song's royalty to the Unicel to help the children in the world .❤😊😊 They were gorgeous ..... musicians... humble.❤ Family man... also..
Thank you for your appreciation of my Bee Gees! I’ve loved them since the mid-70s, when I was a young teenager. Please react to their “Love So Right” and/or “Fanny, Be Tender (With My Love)”. You will LOVE both of those songs. Trust me. 😊
I loved them since 67 when I heard their first (or one of their first) albums. It was called Horizontal. Every song is good but very different from their disco days. Thanks, y'all.
I've seen so many reactions to this.i love people's reactions.i was surprised you hadn't done it. Real instruments,no autotune just 3 bros in tune with each other.a brotherly bond.
I had such a HUGE crush on Barry back in the day! Those smooth, romantic vocals...that sexy mane of hair... And what a beautiful song--one of my favorites by them. The album this came from (Spirits Having Flown) was one of the first I ever owned. Thanks for taking me back in time.
And their reactions didn't seem genuine at all. They moved their bodies as tho they knew exactly what was coming next. Also, be for real, who ISN'T blown away by Barrys voice when it's your first time hearing him hit those particular notes? Other than that, I generally like this channel
Unrelated but I must comment....I'm a woman, and please don't take this the wrong way: Mel that hairstyle and color look so GREAT on you! Your face shape and features (high cheekbones, full lips..) support the severe straight line of the cut, and the length is perfect for you as well. Very, very flattering! 💟👏👏
I was not even into the Bee Gees back in the day. I was more Carpenters, Firefall, Anne Murray, & John Denver. But this brings back so many nostalgic memories of the 1970's for me. Brought tears to my eyes!
Can’t believe y’all haven’t heard this?? I thought I had heard y’all react to this. I’m so glad it’s The Bee Gees!!! Can’t go wrong with them. This is one of their best. ❤
The best group vocalists of all time. nobody has ever sounded like the BeeGees. their harmonies are phenomenal. The way their voices intertwine is so natural & Barry is such a masterful lead singer. His adlibs are perfection.
The Bee Gees were straight killers in the 70's. Girls were throwing their "personal items" at Barry and he had them all in the palm of his hand. Brilliant and never be another like them.
as an old Punk a stranglers fan, i would reckon the Bee Gees , are around the very top of music, they are astounding song writers , top 10 ever ? have to be
Melting into the floor!? Great reaction to a song that did exactly that to a huge amount of women back in '79. I was 18 when this came out. The first 3 songs off Spirits Having Flown were #1 hits! Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Love You Inside and Out. Give the other 2 a listen. The Bee Gees have sang together for almost 5 decades altogether. Their harmonies were honed to perfection! No need for autotune, etc. to help them. Just pure talent. They wrote over a 1000 songs and many for other popular artists. Melting women is what Barry (in the middle) did for many years. You definitely need to listen to their other hits. Nice reaction!
t's like they invented harmony. Live band, no auto tune, no computerized voice enhancement and one mic for all three of them. Back then (1979). singing was just pure, raw talent. By the date of this recording, the BeeGees had already been singing together professionally for 21 years when Barry was 12 years old and the twins were just 9. All of the Gibb brothers including little brother, Andy, could sing in that amazing falsetto voice. But Barry was the master. He was able to exorcise more control over it. The Gibbs were, in my opinion, the most multi-talented families in music history. They wrote their own songs as well as writing songs for many other musical greats.This song was included on a compilation album to benefit UNICEF. There were many artists who recorded songs on the album, but the BeeGees gave all the royalties from this song in any form. In, at that time, an unprecedented move, they also gave UNICEF the publishing rights to Too Much Heaven. To date, Too Much Heaven has raised over 11 million dollars for UNICEF. In 1967, they wrote a song called To Love Somebody which appeared on their third album titled BeeGees 1st, but their first internationally, as the first two albums were only released in Australia. BeeGees 1st was released in July '67. Otis Redding was set to record To Love Somebody on his next album. Sadly, Otis was killed in a plane crash, Dec 10,1967. I thought for the longest time that they didn't record it themselves until after the death of Otis Redding. Their brother Andy Gibb had a very successful solo career as well until his death on March 10,1988. Just 5 days after turning 30. Andy had developed myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, which was brought on by a viral infection While most people recover from myocarditis, Andy's body was unable to fight the infection due to his history of drug use. Soo sad! The 1st time I heard this song, I was 15 years old. I was sitting on the floor in our living room. They sang with so much emotion that I had tears running down my face. It didn't hurt that before this I found out that Barry and I shared the same birthday, me in 1963 and him in 1946. While I was crying, my daddy came in and told me to knock it off or he'd change the channel. He was mean. I was a Bee Gees fan before disco, even though I was only 11 or 12. And then there was Andy. I loved him immediately. As a teenager, I always thought Barry and I were soulmates ever since finding out we were both born on Sept 1st. I figured that out when I was 12 years old. I'm still waiting for him to leave his wife for me. LOL Now I understand why I loved Andy too. He and Barry were so similar. Looking at photos of Barry in his late teens and early 20's is like seeing photos of Andy. They had similar styles and voices too. If I close my eyes when Andy is singing "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" or "Words", he sounds just like Barry. They were also very close. Some time after Andy's death, I heard Barry say in an interview that losing Andy nearly broke him. RIP Andy, Maurice and Robin.
The Bee Gees are brothers. They were born on the Isle of Man then moved to Manchester before moving to Australia later. They then came back to the UK before going to the USA. They have loads of hits over different genres and decades. They also wrote songs for other singers.
Great reaction - you got it right "they go down in history as one of the best singing groups all time"....with more than 200 million records sold worldwide.....shut the front door!
Elvis was my favorite Singer and the Bee Gees My favorite group! I am 58 Years old and grew up in the 7'0 s sand 80s Fanny Be Tender With My Love is another great Bee Gees Song!
Look at you young'uns! I'm almost 68 and I still listen to them. Barry didn't always sing like that. As they were recording the following song, their agent (or someone) wanted to know if someone could sing in high pitch. Barry volunteered, and the rest is history. They were very mischievous boys. Take a year or two or three or four to listen to their songs, humble beginnings, interviews, recording sessions, their mother telling us about them as kids. Some will have you laughing. Back in 2007, Prince Charles, who is now King Charles of England, honored them with a special award. Maurice's son accepted it in his honor. They are now recognized as Sir Barry, Sir Robin and (posthumously) Sir Maurice.
Always love to watch the ladies melt to Barry’s falsetto. The Bee Gees are/were very humble, and amazingly Barry has been married to the same woman for decades. Other favorites of their’s I would recommend are: Fanny (Be Tender With My Love), Love So Right, and Love You Inside and Out.
The first song featuring Gibb's falsetto was 1975's "Nights on Broadway". In 1976, Gibb wrote "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", his brother Andy Gibb's first US No. 1, and provided backup vocals. I've been following them since 1970. They donated all their proceeds from the song to UNICEF, has been reported to be as much as 10 million dollars.
Barry, middle, is still married to the woman, Linda, who he wrote the love songs to, since Sept. 1st. 1970, and still going strong! He walks the TALK!
One take only here people! That production was one take only and the proceeds were donated to charity.
Hard to believe they had hits in 5 different decades
With that kind of talent, not hard to believe
What a gift the Gibb brothers left all of us with their perfect harmonies & brilliant song writing.
I love your words
Barry ( the middle one) is the only one living.
@@nedeast6845 see
Amen so great
2 of them have left us. Barry still performs today! RIP Robin and Maurice! ❤️🫶
What great talent. No auto tune no tricks nothing but pure talent. The harmonies r unmatched. All 3 could blow off the roof but together they were unmatched.
Bee gees journey queen 3 tops ever
No auto tune, however they layered their voices multiple times.
@@acousticsong-guitarco964 Lots of musical acts layered their voices, nothing unusual about that.
Why is this lie on every reaction video? There is so much layering in this video.
This song is like butter melting. Bee Gees fell from heaven to give us their songs ❤❤❤
A to the men! 😃🤘🙏💛☯️🌞
Yes! ❤
Loved your reaction and impressed that you didn’t interrupt it. Great back-up symphony orchestra, too.
By the way, like the new blond look. ☺️
Barry's been giving me chills for decades. Listening to them is like a hug.
This was Baby Making music back in my days..
Beautiful listening music..
The Bee Gees consisted of 3 brothers..
Barry the eldest with the amazing falsetto voice..
His twin brothers Maurice and Robyn..
The youngest and fourth brother also sang, his name was Andy Gibbs and was a solo singer..
All brothers passed away except for Barry..
I’m so glad this generation can relate to and enjoy our music..
No sex, no cursing, nothing but amazing lyrics and beautiful melodies…
I miss my musical era..
Late 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s were the best time for me, music wise…
One of the most melodic songs ever sung....a masterpiece...
I couldn't agree more 😊
YES.❤️🎶
How could one family have so much talent?
Was God given talent
Your poor generation has been so starved for good music, real music, that when you hear it, it overwhelms you. What we took for granted back in the 70s it's like manna from heaven to this generation. I'm glad you had a chance to listen to the wonderful pop music that we had from back in the day!
Bee Gees makes me want be teenager again.
The royalties from this song were donated to UNICEF. I think it's 11 million dollars so far.
Great reaction y’all! Thanks for not pausing this every 30 seconds. Bee Gees were Legit
I agree. Pausing it only once is understandable. Any more than that, and you will be chasing a lot of listeners away.
I prefer listening all the way through. I also encourage taking notes and giving your reactions at the end.
The best part about watching the video is seeing your facial reactions throughout the entire song.
When you finally come to the end of your video. I like to read other people's comments.
It will never be another trio like them
Very few artist can match Barry Gibb's voice His falsetto was amazing and effortless!......#favoritebeegeessongever!!
That’s what this culture needs now - bliss, not the negative music we have now.
Nobody comes even "close" to these guys!...... AMAZING!
The thing that made them so great, is that they were brothers. They also didn't have "Auto Tune". They sang perfect falsettos, and because they were brothers their pitch, tone. etc, were genetically perfectly in sync with each other.

Run to Me, Massachusetts, I Started a Joke, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Love So Right, Spirits (Having Flown), Tragedy, Boogie Child. And that's just scratching the surface.
@@breckrichardson390 Yes! I love Massachusetts, too, absolutely love Robin's voice in a song, its so unique and so beautiful.
All great choices.
Nights on Broadway is a must
I especially like the video telling us about their humble beginnings. It's the one with the big ship on the front of the video.
Talent unmatched even today.
Absolutely great reaction!!! Their harmonies are absolutely incredible. Barry's falsetto is unmatched and unreal. Thanks for doing this one.
Berry is the only one left of the four brothers 😭😭😭
I agree that Barry's falsetto is unmatched unless your name is Robert John😉🙃✌
Barry's false can only be matched by Maurice's and Robin's...
Actually Robins and Maurice's are just as good so yes matched lol .
@@grahamkelsey1675 Barry was the only one who could do falsetto properly.
These men can flat out sing
weren't these guys just the kings of romantic music in the day. and they were beautiful themselves.
Still are the Kings IMO
Barry Gibb sprinkling his magic into those already perfect harmonies. Plus, he was some eye candy back in the day! 🤣 Love this video and song!
Not just the voices but dudes the inventor of “smooth”
And we need to talk about him being married to his sweetheart all his LIFE!
They created a feeling of heaven. Just pure bliss
Hi guys, I was young when the Bee Gees were so very popular. During disco days. My husband and I would go dancing, I would get goose bumps when I heard Barry. Like thunder struck. I listened with you tonight. In July 23. I still get goose bumps at 66 yrs old. Thanks for sharing.
I have to confess I truly love these two the beautiful Mel and Shawn there is so much that comes from them and of course I love the bee gees true talent that we received from them.
They make it look easy. Look how they're standing. They recorded this track in one take. Pure talent.
Barry's voice is often like another instrument, filling spaces where no other instrument would ever work.
Could you think of a group out today that could come close to The Bee Gees when it came too the harmonies, Pure Perfection
There may never be a group that good
I graduated high school that year. They're geniuses.
I grew up with this great group. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Barry has a great falsetto voice. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
If I'm not mistaken, all proceeds from the song have gone to UNICEF and this particular song is a true gift to all of humanity. It is truly wondrous to witness someone encountering true beauty.
I felt like we are in heaven listening to this song
its the "ahhhhh you and me girl" Hooks ya every time
I pray that future generations appreciates The Bee Gees as much as generations before them.
My eyes stay glued to Barry....such a good looking man
@5:00 _"Nobody gets too much love anymore. _*_It's as wide as a river and harder to cry..."_*
When I understood that line (as in, sometimes song lyrics are misheard, like "Scuze me, while I kiss this guy...") it almost broke me!
It is still gratifying to know the younger generation loves some of same music I grew to love in my youth🙂
Loved the Bee Gees.
Good music is timeless and this is one of them
One of the best songs ever recorded by one of the greatest groups of all time.
I can't believe you haven't heard this already.. Great band.... Continue with more of the hits
If I could listen to only one musical group for the rest of my life, it would be The Bee Gees.
Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, and the most beautiful vocals & harmony in all of modern day music.
This song and these voices are for sure legendary status! Real musicians right here
Barry at the top of his looks game...and he can sing too! Kiddin', I love them, always have.
No one could hit those high notes like Barry Gibb, what an incredibly beautiful voice
The Bees Gees, 3 brothers, Barry (middle) and fraternal twins Robin (left) and Maurice (right) (pronounced Morris) is a very deep rabbit hole and worth every song!
One of my favorite Bee Gees songs. Absolutely beautiful song. Those 3 singing together is magic. I love your channel. God bless you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Apart from their talented, they also generous to donate this song's royalty to the Unicel to help the children in the world .❤😊😊 They were gorgeous ..... musicians... humble.❤ Family man... also..
Great choice Vexroid! You can't beat The Bee gees for pure vocal ability. Pure harmony, not to mention the falsetto.....
Within the top ten of singer songwriters ever…🎶❤️🎶
Gives me goosebumps to hear them to bad they are not here anymore. God is enjoying them right now
Thank you for your appreciation of my Bee Gees! I’ve loved them since the mid-70s, when I was a young teenager. Please react to their “Love So Right” and/or “Fanny, Be Tender (With My Love)”. You will LOVE both of those songs. Trust me. 😊
"Love so Right" and "Too much Heaven" are my favorite songs. Not just BeeGees songs, but ALL songs.
I loved them since 67 when I heard their first (or one of their first) albums. It was called Horizontal. Every song is good but very different from their disco days. Thanks, y'all.
These cats had to assimilate and retool when disco hit the scene. And they became the top dogs. So there is 2 fine eras of the Bee Gees 🤘❤️
BEE GEES. BROTHERS GIBB FOREVER! THEIR MUSIC IS FLAWLESS & TIMELESS. PERFECT FOR ANY GENERATION. 🤩🤩👍👍💥💥🤩🤩👍👍💥💥🤩🤩👍👍💥💥🤩🤩
They had some smooth hits from Sat. Night fever. Wow
I love watching someone appreciate this. And thanks for hearing the song all the way through!
Their combined harmony is like they owned an instrument that no one else will ever be able to make or buy. 🙌🏻
Love the Bee gees Barry is Gorgeous 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️nice reaction guys 👍🤣
Thier so good it's freaky, good reaction to a great song, they did so many songs some with a totally different sound. Thank you.
This auntie asked that you both react to "Fannie be tender with my love ", and "You win again " both by the Bee 🐝. Gees 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
I've seen so many reactions to this.i love people's reactions.i was surprised you hadn't done it.
Real instruments,no autotune just 3 bros in tune with each other.a brotherly bond.
I had such a HUGE crush on Barry back in the day! Those smooth, romantic vocals...that sexy mane of hair... And what a beautiful song--one of my favorites by them. The album this came from (Spirits Having Flown) was one of the first I ever owned. Thanks for taking me back in time.
Barry was my favorite till I saw Andy💖
The medley they performed on 70’s tv show “Midnight Special” is as good as anything you will ever see/hear. Thanks
It's hard to believe that you've never heard this song when you have a picture of the Bee Gees hanging on the wall behind you.
And their reactions didn't seem genuine at all. They moved their bodies as tho they knew exactly what was coming next. Also, be for real, who ISN'T blown away by Barrys voice when it's your first time hearing him hit those particular notes? Other than that, I generally like this channel
Staying Alive is an amazing song as well.
Unrelated but I must comment....I'm a woman, and please don't take this the wrong way: Mel that hairstyle and color look so GREAT on you! Your face shape and features (high cheekbones, full lips..) support the severe straight line of the cut, and the length is perfect for you as well. Very, very flattering! 💟👏👏
We all wish we could sing like the guy in the middle (Barry Gibb).
I was not even into the Bee Gees back in the day. I was more Carpenters, Firefall, Anne Murray, & John Denver. But this brings back so many nostalgic memories of the 1970's for me. Brought tears to my eyes!
God given talent right there...
Nothing better than the Bee Gees.
Can’t believe y’all haven’t heard this?? I thought I had heard y’all react to this. I’m so glad it’s The Bee Gees!!! Can’t go wrong with them. This is one of their best. ❤
I thought the same. Thought they had to have reacted to this before!
The best group vocalists of all time. nobody has ever sounded like the BeeGees. their harmonies are phenomenal. The way their voices intertwine is so natural & Barry is such a masterful lead singer. His adlibs are perfection.
I have heard this song countless times and I STILL have the same reaction that they had. It's such a beautiful song and beautifully sung. 💛
The Bee Gees were straight killers in the 70's. Girls were throwing their "personal items" at Barry and he had them all in the palm of his hand. Brilliant and never be another like them.
I love the Bee Gees! My favorite Bee Gees ballad is How Deep Is Your Love.
Absolutely love the way you two do this, love you two keep it up!!😂
wow! thought you guys reacted to this already one of my faves good call. those falsettos "WOW!!!. ; )
as an old Punk a stranglers fan, i would reckon the Bee Gees , are around the very top of music, they are astounding song writers , top 10 ever ? have to be
They are the best!
they were such a hot powerhouse group end of 70's ..... bigger than internet back then
Melting into the floor!? Great reaction to a song that did exactly that to a huge amount of women back in '79. I was 18 when this came out. The first 3 songs off Spirits Having Flown were #1 hits!

You definitely need to listen to their other hits. Nice reaction!
The gift of music was one of the best gifts God gave us ! And this song proves it ...
I bought this single in 1978 & have loved it ever since. It’s so good that a new generation are finding the Bee Gees ❤🎶
One of the all time greats ,they were fantastic ❤
No autotune. Check their songwriting credit. No one compares.
Best wedding song ever. Read the lyrics.
I’m a man and this song even makes me melt never gets old awesome
Hey guys, You would love the video of The Bee Gees doing "Alone"...great song that I think you'll love.
They just have it all. Looks, writing skills, harmonies, smart, I just wish they could all still be with us!!!!!
t's like they invented harmony. Live band, no auto tune, no computerized voice enhancement and one mic for all three of them. Back then (1979). singing was just pure, raw talent.

I was born in the 50s listening to all types of music does 60s in the 70s Those were great times God bless everyone
Great reaction - you got it right "they go down in history as one of the best singing groups all time"....with more than 200 million records sold worldwide.....shut the front door!
Barry Gibb high notes are out of this world
Elvis was my favorite Singer and the Bee Gees My favorite group! I am 58 Years old and grew up in the 7'0 s sand 80s
Fanny Be Tender With My Love is another great Bee Gees Song!
Look at you young'uns! I'm almost 68 and I still listen to them. Barry didn't always sing like that. As they were recording the following song, their agent (or someone) wanted to know if someone could sing in high pitch. Barry volunteered, and the rest is history.
They were very mischievous boys. Take a year or two or three or four to listen to their songs, humble beginnings, interviews, recording sessions, their mother telling us about them as kids. Some will have you laughing. Back in 2007, Prince Charles, who is now King Charles of England, honored them with a special award. Maurice's son accepted it in his honor. They are now recognized as Sir Barry, Sir Robin and (posthumously) Sir Maurice.
Always love to watch the ladies melt to Barry’s falsetto. The Bee Gees are/were very humble, and amazingly Barry has been married to the same woman for decades. Other favorites of their’s I would recommend are: Fanny (Be Tender With My Love), Love So Right, and Love You Inside and Out.

I've been following them since 1970. They donated all their proceeds from the song to UNICEF, has been reported to be as much as 10 million dollars.
