They started singing together as toddlers! Robin & Maurice are fraternal twins & Barry the big brother. Little brother, Andy, sang with them for a little while, but went solo. His untimely death highly effected them. 😢 But these 3 know each other as though they're one person & their music, timing & harmonies demonstrate that. I saw them live in 1976. They were totally AWESOME! ❤
In the music video, but not in the audio. This is a studio recording. Because of the way the vocals are layered, their voices were recorded separately. No autotune though.
If you haven't seen Hanson do a live acapella version of this I HIGHLY recommend it! Theresa few versions out there. No one is BeeGees, but the Hanson Brothers are a very close second and my second favorite brother trio 😊
I agree…we had the best music, he needs to check out their younger brother Andy Gibb. Also, there are several interviews here on RUclips - check them out. You see 3 brothers interacting and they are all funny but Robin is the absolute comedian a nd deadpan comedy at that. Just lets you know the brothers and their kindness shines thru as well. One fun fact…Barry (in the middle) was good friend of Micheal Jackson; so much so that Micheal was godfather to one of Barry’s sons. They were just good men and Andy, Maurice (pronounced Morris but referred to as Mo by his family), and Robin are missed so much. And Barry, the oldest of the brothers, is the one left. Such Yale t
Barry (the lead vocalist) is one of the most prolific song writers ever and has written a massive amount of number 1's for multiple artists. He is absolutely a legend when it comes to his writing. The other brothers, Robin and Maurice, also did writing for the Bee Gees.
@@kenhito - That doesn't even take into account several solo LP's released by Robin, primarily with the writing and production assistance of Maurice. Those were very popular in Europe ("Juliet" was #1 in several countries) and Australia but not played in the US due to the "disco" backlash. Robin's last LP released after he died had some absolutely profound and beautiful songs (done without brother Maurice who had died) as well as the orchestral "Titanic Requiem" which was played by the National Philharmonic in London. Even Robin's first solo composition "I am the world" was pretty spectacular for a 15 year old. Barry said Robin was a great composer and lyricist and Robin said he was lucky to be born into the same family as his brothers. Maurice was the musician of the group who put his brothers' lyrics and melodies to music and was the vital third harmony. He is too often ignored. They were a team including when writing for other artists.
Maurice and/or Robin co-wrote approx 75-80% of the Bee Gees catalog with Barry. That's why Barry's listed as the second most successful songwriter after Paul McCartney, & not the twins. Also Barry co-wrote 1/3 of Robin's three 80s solo albums.
So Barry is singing falsetto the whole time. Most people sing full voice and then go falsetto for the high notes. His continued use of it even in the lower range really defines their sound. Also the harmonies they choose.
.. They came by falsetto by accident more or less.. At their studio making a new song they figured a female voice was needed to a new song they wrote.. But, since they couldn't think of anyone with that specific tone they wanted, they played around with their own voices.. How high could they go??.. And there it was.. When trying to sing the whole song, it came out simply perfect.. They keept it that way ever since, and that's how we got to know them..
Sister, I'm 54, and same here. I hear the Bee Gees and it's almost like hearing heavenly voices singing! To this day, I've never heard anything like it!
Nothing I like better than be sitting here and I'm almost 58 years old and watching two young guys listening to music that I've had since I was a child and you guys react to the music like you do
No it was not recorded live and all in 1 take. It is just a music video like any other. This song is way too complex and has many layers and music is not recorded like this.
@@judeehen9263 so was the original poster. Isnt she allowed to like Barry? You do realise that the Bee Gres had 6 number 1 songs in a row with that falsetto sound? Obviously most people didnt share your opinion and loved it.
I believe the "child" has more knowledge in music than u. U might be old but theres no need to look down on the younger generation...especially the good ones
Barry was excellent at writing music but the twins were very good at writing music too. By no means was Barry the best composer. Robin kept encouraging Barry to sing falsetto. But they all could and did falsetto through the years 😊
Barry didn’t write all the songs. They wrote together and Barry has said in interviews that he might start a song and then Robin would come in and finish it with the lyrics of course Maurice always came up with the music for their songs. Each one played an important part in being a Bee Gee they would not have been successful if not for each one contributing
@@ahkiv6127if he listens to any studio recording audio he will hear Barry's ad lib falsetto, not just on the remastered one. The remastered one just sounds better.
We don’t really know how much Robin and Maurice were involved in every song and album. Rumor is Barry was generous with the credits. Sometimes the others were not involved at all, sometimes very little, for instance, the Living Eyes album, which was largely all Barry. Some songs were completely Barry. Guaranteed, though, Barry was very much involved in all the songwriting, and sometimes wrote some of them himself, including all their earliest stuff. He’s a true songwriter. It’s his calling. He’s the real songwriter.
@@NeptuneLady1957 We don’t really know because we weren’t there, and Barry was reportedly very generous with the credits sometimes. Like you could contribute some words or a title and get credit.
@@BGWhispererIf you didn't see his reaction to How Deep is Your Love, it's worth watching. Even just to hear his comments about Barry & Andy, as he knows good looking guys when he sees one!
@@BGWhisperer True. However, I believe a little research will list the names of the brothers and what songs they wrote. Andy had writing contributions for his songs on his projects.
The FOO FIGHTERS did a tribute to the Bee Gee's They Called themselves the DEE GEE'S. It's not a joke, and they did a good job taking it serious instead of making a parody .
The music from the past was incredible... no electronics, few effects, no autotune... and the Bee Gees were at the top of the heap for years... them, abba, queen, rod stewart, elton john, linda ronstadt, the list goes on and on... so much talent..
His reaction to Barry's falsetto was priceless. 1 take in studio. They are absolutely beautiful. There will never be another group like them. Rest in Heavenly Peace Maurice,Robin and Andy 😢✝️♥️
In the late 1970's when I was a teenager I lived in Colorado. On Saturday nights high school kids and their friends would get in their Camaros, Mustangs and whatever cars they had ( I had a 1970 Camaro), head to downtown Denver and cruise around a certain couple of blocks over and over again blasting music from their radios and if they saw friends from their high school, shouting and having a fun being out! No issues and no crimes - just a great time!
Every penny from this song went to charity!! They write the songs together! The Bee Gees wrote over 400 songs. IN ONE DAY they wrote, Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Shadow Dancing!
Although yes they all did write songs, Barry was the one who wrote most of The Bee Gees music. Barry also wrote all the hit songs that their brother Andy had.
In an interview Barry said his brother Robin Was the natural falsetto,could go higher ..Well we all know the Gibb brother's had it all... Talent in everything.. Singing n definitely writing all their own songs n wrote for many artists..These guy were so great to grow up with...LOVE IT!!!
Robin had a 5 octave range with a higher voice and Barry a 4 octave range. Falsetto is not considered part of a person's "natural" range though. Robin did falsetto in "Living together".
The BeeGees were the only group who managed to adapt and to the different genre to connect to audience worldwide... They'll never be any other group like them or even comes near to their level.....they will live forever in our hearts ..BTW,Robin was my favorite among them, he was a bundle of talents.
Imagine being a teen boy and out on a date with your best girl back in the day and this song comes on the radio at the perfect moment...I was that dude! Great memories!
They started when Barry -the oldest - falsetto-was about 10 years old . I saw them on television in 1967-68 . Live recording in studio , no computers just musicianship at the highest level
@@TheBrownlj actually I do I saw them on tv then in the early 60s had there albums and watched as they took over the airwaves in the 70s . What exactly is it I don’t know about my life experience that you do?
ALL THREE are in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. Barry and Robin were the main co-writers and Maurice also contributed to most songs and was the musician who put their melodies and lyrics to music. They were a team both vocally and as composers. In this song while Barry is doing the falsetto the twins are carrying the melody. All three can sing falsetto.
Another #1 Bee Gees hit, with song idea & lyrics by BG. It's 27 layers of vocals, 18 with Barry and 9 all three together. Nowhere on this song are we hearing just the twins' vocals. So it's easy to see (& hear!) why many thought Barry Gibb was the Bee Gees, because in many ways, he was! Or at least on their #1 Hits after '70!😁😁😁
Don’t let any Robin homers tell you different, the middle guy, Barry Gibb, was the main songwriter, and yes, he wrote for and produced records for other big artists, and wrote all his brother, Andy’s hits, plus produced his records and sang back-up vocals for him. Barry is a prolific songwriter, second only to Paul McCartney. And a known hitmaker, whom other singers clamored to have him write for them. All those songs became hits, too. I love Barry’s voice, too, his tone, and his distinct vibrato. Not just his falsetto, but his chest voice.
ROBIN wrote and sang MANY of their hits. Barry was the most prolific writer. P.S. I never like Paul McCarney. Maybe Blackbird. Over-rated in my opinion. John Lennon and George Harrison were better writers.
The Bee Gees wrote this song, the song, tragedy, and shadow dancing, which was sung by Andy Gibb, all in one day and all three were number one hits. Check into that it is amazing.
The brothers not only wrote together, but always produced the melody first which they never deviated from or changed to fit the lyrics they had crafted.
The constant stank face tells it all. The look of amazement. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, with the most beautiful falsetto voices I've ever heard, as well. Excellent reaction!!!
YES!!!! I find new reactions to the Bee Gees everyday! You would LOVE Fanny Be Tender. The great Quincy Jones said "Fanny" was one of his favorite R&B songs of all time!
Gen X here. Growing up we'd go to Headbangers ball but when we were chilling out it was definitely this stuff. This song is so beautiful. Not just their voices but the words. We grew up with the best music. Grateful. Definitely bring that dancing back. Go outside hiking and then go dancing. Be social in person!
they were born on the isle of man which is a small british island off the coast of britain. they went to australia for 10yrs when they were young where they had some success.they then moved back to the british mainland eventually moving to the US. barry is the eldest and the only living one.robin on the left sang some leads and was 2nd lead on the other songs.maurice on the right is robin's fraternal twin.he was married to scottish singer lulu who is still singing. andy was 11yrs younger which is why he wasn't in the group.his bros did help write and do backing vocals on some of his songs.he looks like a clean shaven blonde barry gibb. rip robin,maurice and andy.
The boy is right, the way they organize the music to flow with their vocals is amazing, near the end when Barry goes up in pitch 4 times is the same as the beginning of the song with the trumpet
I'm 70yo. I grew up in South Dakota and we had an actual Main street, with a fast food drive in at each end. We would drive down the street, turn around in the parking lot of one drive in, and back to the other for hours.( Of course stopping to talk to friends)We called it " takin mains."
Omgosh, I grew up in SD too! And hearing you talk reminds me of the town my parents grew up in, cruising Main Street with fast food drive at each end!😂
@@terrybeasley5931 We did the same thing here, whenever I was a teenager, but everyone called ours the drag. I sure miss those days ♥️. I'm from Southern Oklahoma.
All three brothers write . Wrote all their own songs and songs for Diana Ross Chain reaction album, Dionne Warwick Heartbreaker, Barbara Striesand Guilty album, Dolly Parton &Kenny Rogers Islands in the Stream. They have an older sister who can sing. Mom was a vocalist and Dad had 30 piece band and was a drummer. They have massive vocal range. To see this Fanny be tender with my love and Nights on Broadway (1975 midnight special). Andy appears on stage with then during You should be dancing . ❤❤
The studio recording of Nights on Broadway shows their range much better. Also Fanny had so many layers that it was never sung live. The music video is poor and misleading, should only evervreact to the studio version of that too.
@@TheBrownlj I respectfully disagree. I think the live versions are worth listening to. Maurice does a wonderful falsetto with n Nights on Broadway where the recording while great is only Barry. I like seeing all 3 brothers have own parts
@@RuthBair-ht1fj yeah Mo does a good job but the falsetto ad libs dont go on for as long and is not anything like the recording. There is no live recording of Fanny at all. The one you are thinking of is simply a music video, shot the same time as Jive Talkin. The sound quality is poor and it doesn't show who sings what parts accurately. Fanny had so many layers that it was difficult for them to sing their parts so the 3 just all sang all of it whether it was their parts or not. There was a tendency to do this in the 70s with music videos so with this one in particular the audio should only be reacted to.
There's a certain mastery that comes with siblings who start out young. They've been singing since they were young kids, much like The Jackson 5 and The Osmond Brothers.
Their mum was a band singer, dad played in it. They also have an older sister Lesley who can fill in too. No formal music educarion, until already masters. As little kids in a room, they sounded like a radio to their mum. Barry's music instincts are spot on, he can sing 6 times in a row, note, inflection and timing exact. They learned falsetto existed doing Nights on Broadway in the Studio. Have you heard Jive Talking yet?
loved the bee gees but as growing up in the 80s there were a ton o music that was awsome and still are! if i could i would live in the 80s for the rest of my life
Same here. I would just step in my time machine, go back to 1980 and as soon as I reached 1989 I would go right back to 1980 again........and again and again and again.........🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Bee Gees wrote most of their songs not just for them but for other performers as well. Andy choice a solo career so people wouldn't think he was trying to make it on his brothers coat tails. Their sister Lesley can sing too. I saw a film clip where Barry I think it was, was taking to long to get in the studio so the jokers in the family (Robin and Maurice) cued the music and Lesley started singing and everyone thought it was Robin taking the lead. You could see the surprise on people's faces but she never cut any songs.
They wrote all of their songs not most they did do Beatles covers early on and in the movie Sargent pepper's money hearts club band. But they wrote every song on all of their albums.
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee they had so much talent. They wrote for all types of genres of music like country Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's Island in the stream. And for movies such as Grease. My favorite video is where Olivia Newton John was in the audience with her daughter, they were singing the theme song and showing clips of the movie behind them. Even when they broke up for a little bit they still wrote together. Great talent
Bless you for passing this on to your young friend. I’m seventy years old and have been an avid BeeGees fan since my high school days. I love to see the younger generation react to them.
Your faces say everything! songs the Bee Gees wrote: 'Grease' performed by Frankie Valli, 'Woman. in Love by Barbra Streisand, 'Heartbreak' by Dionne. Warwick 'Islands in the Stream' by Kenny Rogers. and Dolly Parton
This is live and these guys were absolutely incredible. I can’t emphasize it enough. They had nine number one hits. !! I need to check out there early stuff words…. Gotta get a message to you…. I started a joke…. Run to me …. To love somebody…. I can go on forever.
After listening to your comments, it sounds like you guys would appreciate hearing the Everly Brothers. They were pioneers in the creation of Rock, first people inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, named the greatest duo in the history of Rock, and a major influence on so many others greats like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel & The BeeGees and so many others. Widely considered to be the best harmony singers ever. The Everlys were 2 real brothers from KY who had a bunch of big hits in the late 50's & early 60's. Phil sang harmony & Don sang melody. John & Paul of the Beatles nicknamed each other Phil & Don.
I grew up with Bee Gees. I absolutely love them. Their voices are incredible. Every song they are incredible. Only Barry is alive now I would loved to see them never did. Sad. Awesome music.😊
BP, Your Side Kick is Awesome!! The two of You need to do more Work together. This Young Man seems to have it together for a 20 year old Man. His Parents should be very Proud. Great Show!!! Always Enjoy watching Your reaction to all this Phenomenal Music that I Grew up with. Graduated HS in 1978. I Was Blessed to Have Grown up with some of the Greatest Music of All Time.
Robin wrote and performed I Started a Joke solo, even though the record said it was done by the BeeGees. I think Robin also wrote New York Mining Disaster and Massachusetts, both of which were sung by all 3 in the group. Barry's natural voice ranges from baritone to mid-tenor. Robin has a natural high tenor voice, and Mo (Maurice -- pronounced like Morris), has the lower voice range, but is also adept at high falsetto. Mo can harmonize in whatever vocal range that is needed for any given song. He's a master harmonizer.
The one in the middle is the lead, Barry. Right is Maurice and then Robin who are twins. Such sorrow that the twins have passed and Barry is the last, even though the oldest. Yes, Barry was the main writer and producer for the group, although they all contributed.
@90% of the Bee Gees songs except the very earliest were written mainly by Robin and Barry together and Maurice was the true musician who put the lyrics and melodies to music.
75-80% of their catalog was written by 2 or more brothers, the rest by Barry. Barry's listed as the second most successful music producer, after George Martin; he's also listed as the second most successful songwriter, after Paul McCartney.
Yes, Barry sings both Soprano and Tenor which is pretty amazing, if you listen to their older music (before Saturday Night Fever), Spirits Having Flown is a good one to hear Barry's tenor voice.
@@JeanetteFaith nope, not one little bit. It is simply a music video of the already recorded song. Songs are not recorded like this. You dont know what you are talking about.
@@JeanetteFaith its lip synced as all music videos are. There are 9 layers in this song creating 27 voices. We are hearing the already recorded audio. It seriously amazes me that people think any part of this is live, this is not how music is recorded. It is simply a promotional video and all is staged. Here is something I copied from the internet regarding the recording: The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:[6] Barry on falsetto lead three times falsetto high harmony three times falsetto low harmony three times Barry on natural voice lead three times high harmony three times low harmony three times Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times high harmony three times low harmony three times[6] Imbued with their falsetto style, it is also notable for being one of two songs on the album featuring the Chicago horn section
Being a teen in the 70s to early 80s was so cool, I am so glad we had such cool music from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin , Bee Gees, ZZ top, Boston, Aerosmith, we went to all the concerts for just a few bucks and then we got to live through the 80s and 90s music and then 2000s. Good times. Great reaction!!! I love seeing young peoples reactions to the classics.
All three of them wrote the songs ❤ all three could sing falsetto, all three sang amazingly well on their own 😁 altogether they were extraordinary ❤️ You need to do For whom the bell tolls live outside in New York 🤩 Barry and Robin sing parts of the song 🤩 Robin had a beautiful vibrato he also sings lead in a number of songs 🤩 Maurice was a musical genius he done the arrangement on practically all their songs, he sang lead on Closer than Close and Man in the middle but preferred the song writing and arrangement. All three made the Bee Gees without one of them being there would never have worked, to do different parts of a song all three were able to change their voice for whatever they were singing! RIP Maurice, Robin and Andy Gone way too soon. They were sing in on stage at a young age Barry was 9 and the twins were 6, their sister Lesley is also a good singer but didn’t choose to do it. Practically all of their sons and daughters can also sing. The couldn’t read music they would get the melody first then get the words to fit the melody 👍🏻🤩🏴
You wanna see how good they were? There is a video of them on some British talk show. They pull out a couple of guitars and sing Massachusetts in full harmony with Robin singing lead. It will blow your mind.
The Brothers Gibb....a force in pop music for many decades. It truly stands the test of time. Great reaction all around but i like how you caught the way they weave the melody through their frequency and vibrato. Because they are brothers their vocals are tight.
This was done Live with one take and no autotune as it wasn't available back then. This is pure talent. All the proceeds from this song went to Unicef.
Thank you Black Pegasus for keeping the music relevant. I can see this music being passed on for generations to come. My heart is happy. Both of you guys ROCK!!!
This was shot Live in the music studio with no Pitch correction as it did not exist yet just Three Brothers and Pure Talent

I believe the "child" has more knowledge in music than u. U might be old but theres no need to look down on the younger generation...especially the good ones
@Rip2UDude I wasn't looking down, it was a term of endearment ❤️
@@mitzi67156 sorry but it didn't sound very endearing.
@@Rip2UDude guess that's on you ✌️
@@mitzi67156 dude u just a patronising soul. Move over
66yr old here. These guys were what I listened to throughout the 70s
62 yr old here and loved and still do The Bee Gees. Its sad that Only Berry is left.
Barry Gibb was the writer. Absolutely a music genius. He and his brothers gave so much to music for ever.
Both the twins were writers too. They wrote just as well.
Barry was excellent at writing music but the twins were very good at writing music too. By no means was Barry the best composer. Robin kept encouraging Barry to sing falsetto. But they all could and did falsetto through the years 😊
Barry didn’t write all the songs. They wrote together and Barry has said in interviews that he might start a song and then Robin would come in and finish it with the lyrics of course Maurice always came up with the music for their songs. Each one played an important part in being a Bee Gee they would not have been successful if not for each one contributing
Wrong!! They ALL wrote all of their songs totally together!
@@cathyopthof8136 True. The original commenter doesn't know much.
Have your sidekick watch Nights on Broadway to hear his chest voice.
Yes, but the more recent remastered version with Barry adding back runs is the one to listen to!
I love so much the very beginning of this song when Barry sings “Here we are”. His voice sounds great!
gawd that is brilliant and Barry is HOT in that one.
@@thevocalcroneBarry's always hot....in song & looks!❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@ahkiv6127if he listens to any studio recording audio he will hear Barry's ad lib falsetto, not just on the remastered one. The remastered one just sounds better.
Seeing the faces of today's generation as they take in real music makes me smile.
Patty-They all write together. It's not just one. They may pair up, but they each have a role in the writing process.
We don’t really know how much Robin and Maurice were involved in every song and album. Rumor is Barry was generous with the credits. Sometimes the others were not involved at all, sometimes very little, for instance, the Living Eyes album, which was largely all Barry. Some songs were completely Barry. Guaranteed, though, Barry was very much involved in all the songwriting, and sometimes wrote some of them himself, including all their earliest stuff. He’s a true songwriter. It’s his calling.
He’s the real songwriter.
@@BGWhispererwhen you say "we" what you really mean is YOU don't know! Do some research ma'am.
@@NeptuneLady1957 We don’t really know because we weren’t there, and Barry was reportedly very generous with the credits sometimes. Like you could contribute some words or a title and get credit.
@@BGWhispererIf you didn't see his reaction to How Deep is Your Love, it's worth watching. Even just to hear his comments about Barry & Andy, as he knows good looking guys when he sees one!
@@BGWhisperer True. However, I believe a little research will list the names of the brothers and what songs they wrote. Andy had writing contributions for his songs on his projects.
The FOO FIGHTERS did a tribute to the Bee Gee's They Called themselves the DEE GEE'S. It's not a joke, and they did a good job taking it serious instead of making a parody .
I'm appreciating Mr. Gen Z's comments! Very insightful. Bee Gees did their own thing and they did it very WELL!
I'm old school. I have their CD greatest hits. GREAT CD. ❤ 🎉
The music from the past was incredible... no electronics, few effects, no autotune... and the Bee Gees were at the top of the heap for years... them, abba, queen, rod stewart, elton john, linda ronstadt, the list goes on and on... so much talent..
Pure raw talent
That music from the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s can not be replicated
I feel privileged to have grown up with this music .Pure genius .
Me too. ❤. 71 years old and still kicking. 😅
His reaction to Barry's falsetto was priceless. 1 take in studio. They are absolutely beautiful. There will never be another group like them. Rest in Heavenly Peace Maurice,Robin and Andy 😢✝️♥️
It wasnt one take in the studio at all. There are 27 layers to this song.
In the late 1970's when I was a teenager I lived in Colorado. On Saturday nights high school kids and their friends would get in their Camaros, Mustangs and whatever cars they had ( I had a 1970 Camaro), head to downtown Denver and cruise around a certain couple of blocks over and over again blasting music from their radios and if they saw friends from their high school, shouting and having a fun being out! No issues and no crimes - just a great time!
Those were the best of times. I wish I could go back to that time. 😢
Broadway Gary Indiana , cruise night nothing better in the 70s n 80s 😜
Every penny from this song went to charity!! They write the songs together! The Bee Gees wrote over 400 songs. IN ONE DAY they wrote, Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Shadow Dancing!
Although yes they all did write songs, Barry was the one who wrote most of The Bee Gees music. Barry also wrote all the hit songs that their brother Andy had.
@@Sherry-hk2vs Robin wrote some beautiful HITS.
They wrote just over a thousand songs in total over their 50 years in the business.
@@JeanetteFaithWhich ones?🤷🏻♀️
Yes, it was such an incredible tragedy when Andy passed away
drugs.........
@@JeanetteFaithdefinitely his downfall. He was still drinking but had been drug free for a year when he died. The damage was done.
Their father was a guy called Hugh Gibb who was a big band leader so they were immersed in music from birth.
In an interview Barry said his brother Robin Was the natural falsetto,could go higher ..Well we all know the Gibb brother's had it all... Talent in everything.. Singing n definitely writing all their own songs n wrote for many artists..These guy were so great to grow up with...LOVE IT!!!
Robin had a 5 octave range with a higher voice and Barry a 4 octave range. Falsetto is not considered part of a person's "natural" range though. Robin did falsetto in "Living together".
Barry had a much stronger and better falsetto that he could maintain for a long time.
I'm only saying what Barry said on one of his talk shows .
@@gailcalderone5229 the all could sing falsetto, which is what they all are doing in this song
Yes I understood that..
I’m a little older (76). The early BeeGees were my favorite; before Saturday Night fever. Voices were beautiful in all their music.
Totally agree. Fanny Be Tender is my favorite of theirs, but Words, Get a Message, and Lonely Days are among their best.
The BeeGees were the only group who managed to adapt and to the different genre to connect to audience worldwide... They'll never be any other group like them or even comes near to their level.....they will live forever in our hearts ..BTW,Robin was my favorite among them, he was a bundle of talents.
"The BeeGees were the only group who managed to adapt and to the different genre to connect to audience worldwide... " Patently not true.
I’m 66 and I was privileged to see The Bee Gee’s in 1977 in Denver Colorado. One of the best concerts I have ever seen!
Imagine being a teen boy and out on a date with your best girl back in the day and this song comes on the radio at the perfect moment...I was that dude! Great memories!
This is what this song is about.
100 💯 per cent.
They started when Barry -the oldest - falsetto-was about 10 years old . I saw them on television in 1967-68 . Live recording in studio , no computers just musicianship at the highest level
This is not a live recording in the studio. It is just a music video.
That was Australian Bandstand the bee gees we're on
You actually have no idea what you are talking about
@@Kurt-d6j they were also on the Go Show
@@TheBrownlj actually I do I saw them on tv then in the early 60s had there albums and watched as they took over the airwaves in the 70s . What exactly is it I don’t know about my life experience that you do?
ALL THREE are in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. Barry and Robin were the main co-writers and Maurice also contributed to most songs and was the musician who put their melodies and lyrics to music. They were a team both vocally and as composers. In this song while Barry is doing the falsetto the twins are carrying the melody. All three can sing falsetto.
Another #1 Bee Gees hit, with song idea & lyrics by BG. It's 27 layers of vocals, 18 with Barry and 9 all three together. Nowhere on this song are we hearing just the twins' vocals. So it's easy to see (& hear!) why many thought Barry Gibb was the Bee Gees, because in many ways, he was! Or at least on their #1 Hits after '70!😁😁😁
I still get chills every time I hear this song. BG's are Legends!
I can listen to them all day long
Same here. I have over 160 favorite Bee Gees songs. I just love them and Andy.
Don’t let any Robin homers tell you different, the middle guy, Barry Gibb, was the main songwriter, and yes, he wrote for and produced records for other big artists, and wrote all his brother, Andy’s hits, plus produced his records and sang back-up vocals for him. Barry is a prolific songwriter, second only to Paul McCartney. And a known hitmaker, whom other singers clamored to have him write for them. All those songs became hits, too.
I love Barry’s voice, too, his tone, and his distinct vibrato. Not just his falsetto, but his chest voice.
ROBIN wrote and sang MANY of their hits. Barry was the most prolific writer. P.S. I never like Paul McCarney. Maybe Blackbird. Over-rated in my opinion. John Lennon and George Harrison were better writers.
My time, oh Barry still get to me. 66 years and loving it. Oh baby!
Barry Gibb is the only living BeeGee left. Robin and Maurice have been gone a while now. Barry talks about missing his brothers a lot.
The Bee Gees wrote this song, the song, tragedy, and shadow dancing, which was sung by Andy Gibb, all in one day and all three were number one hits. Check into that it is amazing.
The brothers not only wrote together, but always produced the melody first which they never deviated from or changed to fit the lyrics they had crafted.
I always thought their process was amazing and the fact that none of them ever learned to read music.
The constant stank face tells it all. The look of amazement. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, with the most beautiful falsetto voices I've ever heard, as well. Excellent reaction!!!
YES!!!! I find new reactions to the Bee Gees everyday! You would LOVE Fanny Be Tender. The great Quincy Jones said "Fanny" was one of his favorite R&B songs of all time!
My fav Bee Gee’s song.
I read somewhere all three walked in, sang this in one take and left.. they were incredible. I was so so lucky to see them live in 1975!
Whoever wrote that article was wrong in somany ways.
Gen X here.
Growing up we'd go to Headbangers ball but when we were chilling out it was definitely this stuff.
This song is so beautiful. Not just their voices but the words.
We grew up with the best music. Grateful.
Definitely bring that dancing back.
Go outside hiking and then go dancing. Be social in person!
I learned to not keep any butter on the counter while this Bee Gees song played… Their vocals would melt it every time.
they were born on the isle of man which is a small british island off the coast of britain.
they went to australia for 10yrs when they were young where they had some success.they then moved back to the british mainland eventually moving to the US.
barry is the eldest and the only living one.robin on the left sang some leads and was 2nd lead on the other songs.maurice on the right is robin's fraternal twin.he was married to scottish singer lulu who is still singing.
andy was 11yrs younger which is why he wasn't in the group.his bros did help write and do backing vocals on some of his songs.he looks like a clean shaven blonde barry gibb.
rip robin,maurice and andy.
No auto tune just pure talent ❤You should be dancing with brother Andy is a must my friend. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
The boy is right, the way they organize the music to flow with their vocals is amazing, near the end when Barry goes up in pitch 4 times is the same as the beginning of the song with the trumpet
I'm 70yo. I grew up in South Dakota and we had an actual Main street, with a fast food drive in at each end. We would drive down the street, turn around in the parking lot of one drive in, and back to the other for hours.( Of course stopping to talk to friends)We called it " takin mains."
Omgosh, I grew up in SD too! And hearing you talk reminds me of the town my parents grew up in, cruising Main Street with fast food drive at each end!😂
@@terrybeasley5931 We did the same thing here, whenever I was a teenager, but everyone called ours the drag. I sure miss those days ♥️. I'm from Southern Oklahoma.
All three brothers write . Wrote all their own songs and songs for Diana Ross Chain reaction album, Dionne Warwick Heartbreaker, Barbara Striesand Guilty album, Dolly Parton &Kenny Rogers Islands in the Stream. They have an older sister who can sing. Mom was a vocalist and Dad had 30 piece band and was a drummer. They have massive vocal range. To see this Fanny be tender with my love and Nights on Broadway (1975 midnight special). Andy appears on stage with then during You should be dancing . ❤❤
The studio recording of Nights on Broadway shows their range much better. Also Fanny had so many layers that it was never sung live. The music video is poor and misleading, should only evervreact to the studio version of that too.
@@TheBrownlj I respectfully disagree. I think the live versions are worth listening to. Maurice does a wonderful falsetto with n Nights on Broadway where the recording while great is only Barry. I like seeing all 3 brothers have own parts
@@RuthBair-ht1fj yeah Mo does a good job but the falsetto ad libs dont go on for as long and is not anything like the recording. There is no live recording of Fanny at all. The one you are thinking of is simply a music video, shot the same time as Jive Talkin. The sound quality is poor and it doesn't show who sings what parts accurately. Fanny had so many layers that it was difficult for them to sing their parts so the 3 just all sang all of it whether it was their parts or not. There was a tendency to do this in the 70s with music videos so with this one in particular the audio should only be reacted to.
G-Colo making a comparison between this song and oldies played in lowriders shows what an insightful young fella he is. Impressive 😁.
I thought the same. In my town, the low riders hit a high point about this time, so makes sense.
There's a certain mastery that comes with siblings who start out young. They've been singing since they were young kids, much like The Jackson 5 and The Osmond Brothers.
I was born in 1969 and my parents loved them so I was introduced to them basically at birth.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Have listened to The Bee Gees since the 60’s and still get chills.
Their mum was a band singer, dad played in it. They also have an older sister Lesley who can fill in too. No formal music educarion, until already masters. As little kids in a room, they sounded like a radio to their mum. Barry's music instincts are spot on, he can sing 6 times in a row, note, inflection and timing exact. They learned falsetto existed doing Nights on Broadway in the Studio. Have you heard Jive Talking yet?
❤ The Bee Gees have a lot of songs and have written so many for others I cannot list them all.
loved the bee gees but as growing up in the 80s there were a ton o music that was awsome and still are! if i could i would live in the 80s for the rest of my life
Yesssssssssss when life made sence and was fun!!! I'm right there with you
Everyday going forward I wish for the 80s. I didn’t know how good I had it.
And the 70s were even better per this song and other 70s songs
Yesssssssss 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same here. I would just step in my time machine, go back to 1980 and as soon as I reached 1989 I would go right back to 1980 again........and again and again and again.........🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Our favourite boy is back! ❤
All smiles.
Yep he's the best 😃
The Bee Gees wrote most of their songs not just for them but for other performers as well. Andy choice a solo career so people wouldn't think he was trying to make it on his brothers coat tails. Their sister Lesley can sing too. I saw a film clip where Barry I think it was, was taking to long to get in the studio so the jokers in the family (Robin and Maurice) cued the music and Lesley started singing and everyone thought it was Robin taking the lead. You could see the surprise on people's faces but she never cut any songs.
They wrote all of their songs not most they did do Beatles covers early on and in the movie Sargent pepper's money hearts club band. But they wrote every song on all of their albums.
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee they had so much talent. They wrote for all types of genres of music like country Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's Island in the stream. And for movies such as Grease. My favorite video is where Olivia Newton John was in the audience with her daughter, they were singing the theme song and showing clips of the movie behind them. Even when they broke up for a little bit they still wrote together. Great talent
@SheilaMatthews-zu6lm definitely the most talented group in history no matter what anyone says
Bless you for passing this on to your young friend. I’m seventy years old and have been an avid BeeGees fan since my high school days. I love to see the younger generation react to them.
Your faces say everything!
songs the Bee Gees wrote:
'Grease' performed by Frankie Valli,
'Woman. in Love by Barbra Streisand,
'Heartbreak' by Dionne. Warwick
'Islands in the Stream' by Kenny Rogers. and Dolly Parton
Only Barry wrong Grease and only Barry and Robin wrote Woman in Love
And Immortality by Celine Dion
@@TheBrownlj What is your problem?
Also "Chain reaction" by Dianna Ross. Legends.
I enjoy the young guy smiling. Gen Z i think. So sweet
This is live and these guys were absolutely incredible. I can’t emphasize it enough. They had nine number one hits. !! I need to check out there early stuff words…. Gotta get a message to you…. I started a joke…. Run to me …. To love somebody…. I can go on forever.
This is not live. It's a lip-sync to the 'Spirits Having Flown' LP
This was back when the Jacksons, and the Osmonds, and maybe others I can't think of that the whole family was singing.
Actually the Bee Gees played their first gig together in 1958, which predated the other groups that you mentioned.
Nope! BeeGees started in the 50's.
Barry’s falsetto is wonderful !!!! Timeless!!!!’
I appreciate these guy more now that I am older. Than I did when they were on the radio.
BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME'S!
You are so right 👍.
After listening to your comments, it sounds like you guys would appreciate hearing the Everly Brothers. They were pioneers in the creation of Rock, first people inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, named the greatest duo in the history of Rock, and a major influence on so many others greats like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel & The BeeGees and so many others. Widely considered to be the best harmony singers ever. The Everlys were 2 real brothers from KY who had a bunch of big hits in the late 50's & early 60's. Phil sang harmony & Don sang melody. John & Paul of the Beatles nicknamed each other Phil & Don.
I grew up with Bee Gees. I absolutely love them. Their voices are incredible. Every song they are incredible. Only Barry is alive now I would loved to see them never did. Sad. Awesome music.😊
Just one thing..skaters remember those days ..roller rinks .our days.
Dude it's straight up live one shot one take that's it nothing run over it's their voices it's all good❤
I love watching the ones exposed to yesteryears musicianship
BP, Your Side Kick is Awesome!! The two of You need to do more Work together. This Young Man seems to have it together for a 20 year old Man. His Parents should be very Proud.
Great Show!!! Always Enjoy watching Your reaction to all this Phenomenal Music that I Grew up with. Graduated HS in 1978. I Was Blessed to Have Grown up with some of the Greatest Music of All Time.
I'm curious what BP would think of the Bee Gees song "I Started A Joke". It was recorded in 1968 and was a huge hit!!!
That was Robin Gibb I think.
@@lsmith992 I believe you're right!!
I am doubting he will like it. Most of the modern reactors dont.
@@TheBrownljYep! A really dull depressing song with lots of quivering going on.🫤
Robin wrote and performed I Started a Joke solo, even though the record said it was done by the BeeGees. I think Robin also wrote New York Mining Disaster and Massachusetts, both of which were sung by all 3 in the group. Barry's natural voice ranges from baritone to mid-tenor. Robin has a natural high tenor voice, and Mo (Maurice -- pronounced like Morris), has the lower voice range, but is also adept at high falsetto. Mo can harmonize in whatever vocal range that is needed for any given song. He's a master harmonizer.
The one in the middle is the lead, Barry. Right is Maurice and then Robin who are twins. Such sorrow that the twins have passed and Barry is the last, even though the oldest. Yes, Barry was the main writer and producer for the group, although they all contributed.
@90% of the Bee Gees songs except the very earliest were written mainly by Robin and Barry together and Maurice was the true musician who put the lyrics and melodies to music.
@@susieq9801 Agreed. As a producer, I tend to lean toward great producers, like Barry.
75-80% of their catalog was written by 2 or more brothers, the rest by Barry. Barry's listed as the second most successful music producer, after George Martin; he's also listed as the second most successful songwriter, after Paul McCartney.
The Bee Gees are Angelic, pure love ❤️❤️❤️
Okay okay Cruise music you want Cruise music then you need to go into the rabbit hole of the Beach boys😂😂😂😂
lol.........
Pegasus, thank you for bringing the youngers to a good place - musically and morally. Your folks raised you right…and you can tell them I said so. 🤠
Yes, Barry sings both Soprano and Tenor which is pretty amazing, if you listen to their older music (before Saturday Night Fever), Spirits Having Flown is a good one to hear Barry's tenor voice.
This was the official video, so it wasn't live live, but this is how they recorded most of their songs, just gathered around one mic.
It wasnt live at all.
LIVE.
@@JeanetteFaith nope, not one little bit. It is simply a music video of the already recorded song. Songs are not recorded like this. You dont know what you are talking about.
@@JeanetteFaith
its lip synced as all music videos are. There are 9 layers in this song creating 27 voices. We are hearing the already recorded audio. It seriously amazes me that people think any part of this is live, this is not how music is recorded. It is simply a promotional video and all is staged.
Here is something I copied from the internet regarding the recording:
The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:[6]
Barry on falsetto lead three times
falsetto high harmony three times
falsetto low harmony three times
Barry on natural voice lead three times
high harmony three times
low harmony three times
Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times
high harmony three times
low harmony three times[6]
Imbued with their falsetto style, it is also notable for being one of two songs on the album featuring the Chicago horn section
@@TheBrownlj nope.
The Bee Gees are the most fabulous group, both vocally and as writers They wrote some of the best songs of the times. TALENT!!!!!
Being a teen in the 70s to early 80s was so cool, I am so glad we had such cool music from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin , Bee Gees, ZZ top, Boston, Aerosmith, we went to all the concerts for just a few bucks and then we got to live through the 80s and 90s music and then 2000s. Good times. Great reaction!!! I love seeing young peoples reactions to the classics.
These brothers came from a family of musicians! Their father was a drummer in the big band era and had his own band. Their mother was a singer!
All three of them wrote the songs ❤ all three could sing falsetto, all three sang amazingly well on their own 😁 altogether they were extraordinary ❤️ You need to do For whom the bell tolls live outside in New York 🤩 Barry and Robin sing parts of the song 🤩 Robin had a beautiful vibrato he also sings lead in a number of songs 🤩 Maurice was a musical genius he done the arrangement on practically all their songs, he sang lead on Closer than Close and Man in the middle but preferred the song writing and arrangement. All three made the Bee Gees without one of them being there would never have worked, to do different parts of a song all three were able to change their voice for whatever they were singing! RIP Maurice, Robin and Andy Gone way too soon. They were sing in on stage at a young age Barry was 9 and the twins were 6, their sister Lesley is also a good singer but didn’t choose to do it. Practically all of their sons and daughters can also sing. The couldn’t read music they would get the melody first then get the words to fit the melody 👍🏻🤩🏴
You wanna see how good they were? There is a video of them on some British talk show. They pull out a couple of guitars and sing Massachusetts in full harmony with Robin singing lead. It will blow your mind.
Watch their One For All '89 Melbourne medley, as that's just Barry playing guitar with their 3 voices.
LOVE the bee gees what talent
The Brothers Gibb....a force in pop music for many decades. It truly stands the test of time. Great reaction all around but i like how you caught the way they weave the melody through their frequency and vibrato. Because they are brothers their vocals are tight.
One take, no rehearsal. That was the talent level of The Bee Gees (The Brothers Gibb).
I live about 5kms from where the boys grew up through their teens, there is definitely nothing in the water around here. lol
Means?
This was done Live with one take and no autotune as it wasn't available back then. This is pure talent. All the proceeds from this song went to Unicef.
It wasn't live and certainly not done with one take.
Thank you Black Pegasus for keeping the music relevant. I can see this music being passed on for generations to come. My heart is happy.
Both of you guys ROCK!!!
