That clip would be played on Australian TV during the 70's - especially during the Disco era. It was the way our local media told us that it all started here.
Just some facts about this song. It was indeed written by Barry. It was however never officially released. Only performed on a few TV shows like this one. Barry is 14 and the twins close to 11 at the time of this recording.
The Bee Gees were authentic geniuses, they harmonized PERFECTLY, their songs have the best possible quality at every moment of their recording, there has never been such a large group so mistreated by musical supremacists who decreed what should be heard and what should not be heard and who marked them with a lacerating stigma for the horrific crime of singing (perfectly) beautiful songs with falsetto. They were generally the same ones who enjoyed watching groups that smashed instruments at concerts or insulted their own fans from the stages, everything was correct, singing falsetto for these fascists was not
I just didn't like them. Personal taste. Falsetto's fine, "The Four Seasons" honed it to a fine craft. It would thoroughly piss me off when I would see musicians destroy their guitars, I thought it was obscene. Check out John Hiatt's song "Perfectly Good Guitar". ruclips.net/video/sVgtqAhwUAU/видео.html
I was not a huge Bee Gees fan back in the day (I was more into rock), but a couple years ago I got interested in them and they have become my very favorite band of all time. Very talented and very diverse. They really have something for every taste. What type of music do you like? I'll send you some suggestion that might surprise you.

I guess that’s one way of putting it. Their father struggled to pay the rent. I heard an interview with their “mum” where she listed the eight or nine places they lived and the three schools Barry attended before moving to Manchester when Barry was 8. They moved to Australia when Barry was 12, and he recently said that they probably lived in 21 different locations in their 7 years in Australia. He said they were that family leaving in the middle of the night with their things because their Dad hadn’t paid the rent.
Falsetto is the name for a vocal register and thus for a special form of use of the human voice..Some singers only used the technique in individual songs, for example Bruce Springsteen sang Lift Me Up, the end credits song for the film Limbo, entirely in falsetto in 1999. Individual songs or parts of songs were performed in falsetto by Neil Young and Axl Rose, for example; Mick Jagger also sang the song Emotional Rescue, Prince sang the song Kiss and Beck sang the song Debra, mostly in falsetto. Very embarrassing when you're so uneducated and think you're funny too!
Unfortunately a joke that will follow them forever eventhough people who say that are a afraid to jump out of the closet and confess they like their music and many genres they infact has been writing and performing songs in. All from Beat, pop, rock, funk, r&b, classical, opera, country, instrumental, folk, and yes Disco eventhough they did not know it would be disco when they wrote the SNF songs. They were writing them as R&B/funk. I think many know the story about them sitting at a chateau in france making their follow up album to Children Of the World (the one with You Should Be Dancing on) and the manager Rober Stigwood called them and said he needed some songs for an up coming movie. They said they did not have time to write new songs but they had songs written for the new album that he could listen to. So as many things are in life, the whole phenomenon around SNF happened a little by accident. It is a bit weird that the songs were so perfect for that movie.
@@beegeesbuster1 But its only a joke for uneducated dumb people. This singing TECHNIQUE has existed since the 9th century, when the Persian musician Ziryab (Abu Hassan Ali ben Nafi) introduced Andalusian music in Córdoba and from there spread it to Europe via troubadours. Many singers have used falsetto (including Jackson, Frankie Valli, Prince,...just not as often (and perfectly) as the Bee Gees. 95% of their music is NOT sung in falsetto, but the stupid ones mostly know that the SNF album, and Robin also wanted more songs in that style because they were well received and brought success (and money)!
This was September 1960 so Barry had just turned 13 and the twins were 9.

The Gibb family immigrated to Australia..the Bee Gees grew up in Redcliffe Queensland. The B G stands for Brothers Gibb.

@@ponicus1 Oh, sorry. I put each song on it's own line, but I guess it doesn't come through that way. I'll fix.

They looked like 3 little hobo kids 😅

Before they were castrated.
