It really is tragic. Especially being the oldest, you assume you will pass before your little brothers and now they are all gone and you're the only one.
They have been singing together since they were kids and started recording in 1959 in Australia and then came back to England to hit it big. They write the music and lyrics for all the songs they sing and well as writing songs for a number of other big artists - Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick, etc. They also produced records for other artists at their studio in Miami starting in the 1980s. No auto tone because all their harmonies are natural. They had no formal musical training.
While Mo didn't do lead as often as Barry and Robin he did arrange the music. That was his passion. They sang over a thousand songs over a 5decade period all genres so a song for all occasions. If you watch You should be dancing in 1976 I think it was you will see Andy their younger brother singing with them.
Well, the Bee Gees had about a five decade recording career, and during that time they reinvented themselves many times. If you want to stay in the mid to late 70s "falsetto" vibe, Love So Right is a great one. I think it was the first single they ever released that had falsetto lead vocal all the way through the song. It's very beautiful. BUT...if you want a surprise, check out Nights On Broadway. Barry really has three lead vocal voices, and he uses all three on Nights. He has sort of a gritty, meaty chest voice, that high clear falsetto that you heard on these tracks, and the soft mellow chest voice, like what he uses on One and How Deep is Your Love. But the versatility will amaze you. Also, among my faves, Lonely Days, Nothing Could Be Good, Be Who You Are, Smoke and Mirrors and This is Where I Came In. but it's all very very good stuff. the Bee Gees rabbit hole is DEEP!
Bee Gees Forever!!! The harmonies, the falsetto, the verbrattos, the song writing. Started singing when Barry was 14 and the twins were 10. RIP MAURICE, ROBBIN AND LITTLE BROTHER ANDY. Your music will live on!!
“How Deep is Your Love” is the most beautiful love song ever. And their harmonies are ridiculously perfect. Always think of the movie, Saturday Night Fever, when I hear it.
While in these particular songs the lead is sung by Barry, don't deprive yourself. Maurice occasionally sang lead but very often it was Robin who sang lead and he also often sang lead either alternating in the same song or at the same time with Barry as in "How deep is your love" (if you notice both were singing together) and Maurice usually provided the high harmony. Both had very different voices but when together did sound like one person as you said. Robin had an absolutely unique, iconic voice with a beautiful natural vibrato. Listen to "I started a Joke" from their 1989 Melbourne concert or "Bodyguard", both Robin leads. I like "Above and Beyond" or "Closer than close" with Maurice in the lead. These guys were brilliant live and just as good if not better than the studio recordings. They absolutely knew each others' voices because the brothers sang together since they were children of 5 and 9. All three wrote their songs and wrote for other famous artists ("Islands in the Stream" for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - ."Chain Reaction" for Diana Ross" - "Guilty" and "Woman in Love" for Barbra Streisand" - "Immortality" for Celine Dion - "Heartbreaker" for Dionne Warwick just to name a few.

The BGs are beautiful songwriters, over a thousand songs hundreds for other artists. .sooooooo gifted, their gorgeous harmonies, that's because they are brothers Barry, n twins Maurice n Robin...most stunningly handsome talented etc, singing together since Barry was 9 n the twins were 6.. AMAZING..the best group EVERXXXXXXX 💗
When I was a young kid in the 80s the Bee Gees were my parents' music and immediately uncool, but it wasn't long until I was secretly playing them on repeat. Smooth is definitely an accurate word.
Their range, harmony and song writing skills are second to none. The Brothers Brilliant NEVER disappoint! Please react to Fanny be Tender. It is my fav Bee Gees song.
From December 1977 until two years later, we saw a total domination on airwaves of the Brothers Gibb and the first global stardome with sold out stadion concerts and nine #1 world hits in a row who is unmatched since today . Their own label was forced to press their record from other record companies, because heir own record label could no longer keep up with the drift. They shaped the time-spirit of the late seventies of a whole generation and millions flocked to the dance studios. 🕺
They are an exceptional group, I grew up with them. They wrote all there songs and many songs for other artist. You’ll like Fanny Be Tender With My Heart, You Win Again and one of there very first hits in the 60’s To Love Somebody. Love your reaction
The BeeGees are fab. Their funky songs are the funkiest and their love songs are the dreamiest. My fave fast song is You Should Be Dancing. If you want a banging disco hit that will get you chair dancing, that's it. I think your first and last picks today are their best love songs but there are many to choose from.
The first 10 seconds of how deep is your love puts me in a trance. It is so beautiful there. Voices are just unbelievable.❤ Such a beautiful romantic song!
Great reactions to a great musical trio...These brothers started out in the '50s, when Barry was 9 & the twins were 6 yrs old and were still putting out great music through the mid 2000's, so there's a lot to check out! You haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet, it's a deep, deep rabbit hole! They had a younger brother, Andy, who had a very promising but very short musical career The oldest Gibb sibling, Leslie, was also with the group for a short while. Only Leslie & Barry are still living. Both Gibb parents, Hugh & Barbara, were musicians as well. Barry, Robin & Maurice all had individual/solo albums & songs too..They considered themselves as song writers first and foremost. They wrote and produced songs for many famous singers. They often sang duets with famous artists too. Barry did a duet with Michael Jackson, which most folks aren't aware of. I encourage you to check out their early works, like their Cucumber Castle album and going from there. You will find that the diversity in their music is astonishing!! Robin's last recording was a very classical type of song, Don't Cry Alone. Looking forward to watching more with you.
Since they performed from the late 1950s until the early 2000s, they can do every style. Every song is a hit, and you can't go wrong. Their live performances are as good as studio. Try "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" live. And Jive Talkin' is recorded live, so check that out too. Their catalog is huge, so you'll be at it for a long while over coming years!
It's really cool to see you younger guys enjoying the stuff that we listened to when we were younger guys,.. the Bee gees were first class songwriting, harmonies, and beautiful melodies.
For me, there is no better live performance from the Bee Gees than their touching tribute to their brother Andy, covering Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away). Always gets me. There's age in their voices (and yet still perfect) and years behind them but the emotion and love in the song elevates this beyond any other performance I've seen from them. Hope you check it out. And new subscriber; love your reactions!
They have been singing together since little kids, so they know each other’s voices. The song writing is a collaboration of the brothers as well. So yes, they know each other’s voices. They have written over 1,000 songs for themselves as well as other artists ( as well as producing other artists), you have a lot to pick from. Nights on broadway ( the midnight special version), To love somebody ( the 1967 version), tragedy, there is a live version on RUclips…that should get you started.
The Beatles, The Beach Boys and the Bee Gees: the three greatest (the 3 Bs) of contemporary poprock. Why? Because each of these bands "invented" an "original" sound, each was a genius for catchy melody, each gave itself a signature that is unique to it and recognizable among all. In other words, exceptional creators incapable of missing a composition! Result: They have become benchmarks for musical perfection (in their genre, of course); they will remain so for a very long time... and that's only fair! Thanks.
Yes!!!! I love these guys. Incredible songwriters and harmonizers. The one song I’d love you to do is “you should be dancing” and react to the video that has them on stage with their brother who was a solo artist and it has clips from the movie Saturday Night Fever intermingled in with them on stage. And there’s a certain famous movie star dancing all over the stage from the movie ;)
I know you said that you'd like to see a performance on how the brothers interact with one another, but my rec for the one of the best live performances is the solo by Robin Gibb of I Started a Joke (from the One For All tour in '89). It's a masterclass in vibrato singing, and Robin's vocals are sublime
I’m not kidding you, I have watched at least 30 people react to this. Imo - one of thee most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard ❤harmonies are angelic! I’ve seen grown men cry on this one 😢
Great reactions! You should definitely react to Andy Gibb, their brother. He looks and sounds so much like Barry Gibb. All four brothers were crazy talented.
Fun Fact: Two of the songs you reacted to here were in the 1978 charts. The 1978 Billboard Hot 100 charts (YEAR END CHART) had "How Deep is Your Love" at #6 for the year and "Night Fever" at #2 for the year. They were both beat out by ... ((drum roll, please)) ... "Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb - The Bee Gees younger brother!! Andy Gibb had the #1 song of 1978. The Bee Gees - and their younger brother - dominated the charts. Between them they had 5 out of the top 10 songs of the year #1 Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing #2 The Bee Gees - Night Fever #4 The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive #6 The Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love #8 Andy Gibb - (Love Is) Thicker Than Water
Tragedy, How Deep Is Your Love and Too Much Heaven - all written in one afternoon!! Barry, Robin and Maurice were genius songwriters...pretty damn fine singers too! 😍🤩
Yes, check'em out live! They're brilliant good as well. Medley 1989 in Melbourne or medley from Brit Awards in 1997. Also MTV Most Wanted in 1993, a song which is called 'Blue Island'. But there are countless good ones too, over more than 4 strong decades.
I think you'd really enjoy their song Jive Talkin'. It's very funky. The vocals are great & they're playing instruments in the official music video + are a little more lively/less stoic. Not sure if it's actually 'live' or synced w/ the studio version as they would often do for performances back then. But you'd dig it based on your reactions to these, imo.
Their song "YOU SHOULD BE DANCING " is kickass. The live version has their little brother , Andy, with them. He was popular in my day but sadly died in his 30's. RIP ANDY
Ooh, nice! The Bee Gees don't have a bad song, but "How Deep is Your Love" is definitely one of my favourites as well. I'd recommend "You Win Again", "Lonely Days", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Fanny Be Tender With My Love", "Alone", "You Should Be Dancing", "Tragedy", "I Started a Joke"... They are an incredibly versatile group, so do check out their earlier (e.g. "Lonely Days") and later (e.g. "Alone") stuff as well. I think you've mainly concentrated on the late '70s for now, except for "One". :-)
Thank you 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. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. 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'. 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 More live recommendations: medleys of their older material like this one: ruclips.net/video/faoIZAvaQ6Y/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/gsQw8UKfxd0/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.
You did it!!!!! Thank you! You covered the song "One", which I almost never hear..I mean seriously, isn't it just angelic?!! And you covered some other favorites of mine. Congrats! You have made my day. Even my week. BeeGees forever❤.
A great way to watch the Bee Gees singing live is to watch one of their medleys. They usually did at least one medley at each concert, some of their older hits with a simple accompaniment and all singing close together with one mic, which is the way they had sung as young children when they first became professional singers and songwriters. This is a really good medley from 1989: ruclips.net/video/BfIMEdc8BdE/видео.html . Or this one from 1997 ruclips.net/video/2t9aXJC2Xqw/видео.html . Or do them both. They were fabulous live performers.
I am of the opinion that the live presentations should be heard AFTER listening to the studio versions, many times the orchestras alter the magic of the most representative songs, the only live version that I could recommend would be the one of the song "Nights on Broadway", the only live performance that does them justice, and then tell you that to recommend songs by the Bee Gees is very, very difficult, the catalog is long, they even made their younger brother Andy Gibb a star, who in In 1978 they composed the song that was NUMBER 1 OF THE YEAR on Billboard USA, IN ADDITION to other fabulous songs, they also composed countless singers, THE DISTINCTIVE that the Bee Gees had when making songs for other artists was to appear on the song as background choirs, so if you ever hear a song in which you think there is a background choir with the Bee gees' voice, it is sure that they made it for ra that singer. examples would be "emotions" by Samantha Sang, "Heartbreaker" by Dione Warwick...
Absolutely LOVE this new idea of a miniseries Bee Gees reaction! 👍❤️ First time on your channel and really enjoy seeing paying attention to the smallest surprises they insert in their songs. They always knew what they were doing vocally, lyrically and musically, going for the best effect. Thank you for today's best 20 minutes 😂😍
Loved this. 4 songs in one reaction. Great idea. Best live is their acapella version of How Deep is your Love on the des oconnor show. Or their MTV performance of Blue Island. Actually anything. Their live performances are as good as their studio tapes.
Simply beautiful. The Bee Gees were one of my fathers favourite groups, he loved How Deep is Your Love. It was on his mix tape for the car, along with some other amazing tunes that when i hear them it brings back so many memories. As i have got older i have grown to appreciate how good the Bee Gees were. I'm not sure if i mentioned a singer/songwriter James Arthur from the UK to you before? Well worth a look at great songs and voice. Thank you my friend.
Yes they know each other very well as they are brothers. The older one is Barry. The other two are fraternal twins, Robin (long blondish hair and Maurice (receding hair line). They started performing at about age 8, in 1958.
YES! i’ve been waiting for this one! great choices to listen to, and it made me so happy to see One getting some attention, that song isn’t appreciated enough lmao. you could easily make countless videos on the bee gees but for the next video i would suggest including songs like Alone, Massachusetts, Jive Talkin, and Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) - which i personally think was the very best song they ever recorded.
Thanks for that ..... that was a sumptuous feast of pure unadulterated ear candy for an unapologetic life-long beegees fan like me......I've been a fan from 1968....when I was all of 8 years old....thanks so much.... looking forward to more..... ..
Enjoyed your observations and the various elements you picked up on for each of the 4 songs. When you mentioned the drums in your comments about the song “One” I immediately thought of another Bee Gees song, “You Win Again”. I hope you consider reacting to it. Thanks for your enjoyable reaction videos. I appreciate the sincerity and the honesty especially when you relate how a song affects you emotionally.
Love the way you do 4 songs at a time. If you get the time and get back to them I would like to request a nother 4 song grouping if I may? "I could not love you more", "The only love", "Will you still love me tomorrow", and "Live or die". That would be so awesome if you could do those together! They are all amazing, but then again, so is everything they do. I think they were allergic to writing bad songs ;) Hardcore BG's fan since 72.
Just the expression on your face is priceless. Auntie love, love, loved your reaction nephew. 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤. Now you have to react to "Fannie be tender ", and "You win again ", both by the 🐝 Gees 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
Love the bass parts on all their sons. Maurice composes them even if he does not play the bass during a concert, his bass part is played by the hired bassist.
After years of Barry singing falsetto, found it difficult to continue concert tours because it affects his back muscles and caused pain. They produced a dvd called For One Night Only. So at least we have their concert preserved for all time
Barry is a wonderful singer and songwriter, as is Robin. But too often people forgot that Maurice was too! Closer Than Close is one great example of his songwriting and singing. There's a live version on RUclips that really good.
Really like your style reacting to BGs, you say exactly the most important details, and reacting to more than one song was good. You sound so much like the comedian from the past Jerry Seinfeld!!
I was in grade school when they were huge. Them, Barry Manilow, etc. I had an older brother in high school, so I heard it all through the bedroom wall! When I started buying music in oh 1980-82, this was all VERY uncool! But I knew all the words and secretly loved it and saw them in concert. Screw everybody!!! Hahaha!!! 🤣
They're brothers and have been performing together since they were young kids. If you want to see a good live performance try "One Night Only", Words is my favorite song of theirs but Jive Talkin is quite good too
Nights On Broadway, BeeGees live on The Midnight Special is a must-see. Their younger brother Andy Gibb can also be seen performing live on Midnight Special, Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, hosting Solid Gold, & on duets with Olivia Newton-John, Crystal Gayle, Marie Osmond, Frankie Valli & that list goes on & on.....best voices ever
Classic!! Oh those harmonies!! A lot of people don't know they had some really amazing songs in the late 60s as well....they were putting out great music pre-disco. Holiday, I Started A Joke, I've Got To Get A Message To You, Massachusetts.....so many others. You should check into those as well. Side note.... Take That did a remake of "How Deep Is Your Love" which is actually very good, with one of the weirdest most sadistic videos to accompany it
Please react to the Live Performance of the Bee gees song You Should Be Dancing. Andy Gibb their youngest brother sings with them. Andy sang part time with the Bee gees and had a Solo career. The plan was for him to then join the Bee Gees full time. Andy was announced as joining them but passed away before he could. Andy was 30 Years old.
Jive Talking bass line is everything, and you would love it! Nights on Broadway shows their individual voices very well. They all could do falsetto and do it well. Fanny, Be Tender With My Love is an absolutely stunning masterpiece and my biggest rec for them. Quincy Jones said it's one of the best R&B songs he's heard and tried in vain to find someone to cover it. Older songs like To Love Somebody, I Started A Joke and Massachusetts (Robin lead on the second two with his angelic emotional and vulnerable voice) are must-hears too. Love your reactions to this. They always sound lovely. Never a bad song at all from them.
Love your reactions!! I'm a newbie so I'm going back in time to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts on some great bands/groups!
BGs have been singing since the twins Mauricexxxxxxx n Robinsxxxxx we're 6 n Older brother Barryxxxxxxxx was 9, for 5 decades .. thousands of songs they have written n hundreds of songs for the likes of Barbs Streisand, Dolly parents, Celine deon..they don't read or write music ..so amazing!!! They are British, read the Auto Bio..amazing..they had a baby brother Andy look him up also so gifted...
For a live performance I recommend their 1997 Las Vegas One Night Only concert! A sampling of their greatest hits-and a fabulous way to hear them in th 1990's!
![Digital Circus Episode 4 [TRAILER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/abZtsmMUbJo/mqdefault.jpg)
Can't believe Barry is the only one still with us. So tragic he lost all his brothers. Such a talented family.
He's stayin' alive
Miss Mo n Rob let's not forget Baby Andy...he was so gifted too, he died @ 30..marvelous. Family xxxxxx..
It really is tragic. Especially being the oldest, you assume you will pass before your little brothers and now they are all gone and you're the only one.
He's hanging in there but suffering a lot. ruclips.net/video/jnztcePxXhE/видео.html
The Bee Gees donated all royalties from Too Much Heaven to UNICEF. I think it has raised over 10 million dollars so far.
They have been singing together since they were kids and started recording in 1959 in Australia and then came back to England to hit it big. They write the music and lyrics for all the songs they sing and well as writing songs for a number of other big artists - Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick, etc. They also produced records for other artists at their studio in Miami starting in the 1980s.

That was the 1979 Spirits tour...You should be Dancing...A great concert. Love the Bee Gees!!
It's so great to see someone genuinely affected by music of any kind. We humans really need it in our lives
So true! Music really is a universal love, that brings the world together!❤️

They were my favorite in early 1970s. My cousin's band used to sing their songs.
Little did people know, the Bee Gees wrote LPs for others in the early 80s from Kenny Rodgers, Diana Ross, Jimmy Ruffin & Dionne Warwick.
@@spudjohnsonn8122 yes....Dionne
@@zimjun7 What most people don't realize, they were an R&B group from '75' to '79' disco is a bullshit word for R&B dance music!
@@bella-xp7qd I found out in my mid-teens if you can sing the Bee Gees, everybody else is easy.
The history of music is filled with Amazing artists. Thank you for experiencing them and appreciating them now.
Thank you so much for watching!
The BeeGees are so special. They donated the money from this song to UNICEF...millions and millions of dollars.
I started a Joke sung by Robin is a beautiful song. One of my favorite because of the vulnerable emotion in his voice.
The BeeGees are brilliant; their voices are soooooooo amazing the way the blend together; they're brilliant
Their range, harmony and song writing skills are second to none. The Brothers Brilliant NEVER disappoint! Please react to Fanny be Tender. It is my fav Bee Gees song.

How Deep Is Your Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
His expressions ARE PRICELESS ❤
They are an exceptional group, I grew up with them. They wrote all there songs and many songs for other artist. You’ll like Fanny Be Tender With My Heart, You Win Again and one of there very first hits in the 60’s To Love Somebody. Love your reaction
Thank you!
My uncle was a big fan of the Bee Gees. „One“ sounds more modern and has a good vibe. I recommend „You win again“.
Love You Win Again! Great song! The live version from 1987 is a fantastic performance!
You win again my fave song
You’ve barely scratched the surface.
“First of May” is another great song by the Bee Gees.
The BeeGees are fab. Their funky songs are the funkiest and their love songs are the dreamiest. My fave fast song is You Should Be Dancing. If you want a banging disco hit that will get you chair dancing, that's it. I think your first and last picks today are their best love songs but there are many to choose from.
The first 10 seconds of how deep is your love puts me in a trance. It is so beautiful there. Voices are just unbelievable.❤
Such a beautiful romantic song!
Nights on Broadway on Midnight Special is awesome and live. The best songwriters and singers I know!

They blend perfectly because they're brothers and have been singing together since Barry was 9 and the twins were 6 yrs old
It's really cool to see you younger guys enjoying the stuff that we listened to when we were younger guys,.. the Bee gees were first class songwriting, harmonies, and beautiful melodies.
For me, there is no better live performance from the Bee Gees than their touching tribute to their brother Andy, covering Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away). Always gets me. There's age in their voices (and yet still perfect) and years behind them but the emotion and love in the song elevates this beyond any other performance I've seen from them. Hope you check it out. And new subscriber; love your reactions!
Thank you so much!
They have been singing together since little kids, so they know each other’s voices. The song writing is a collaboration of the brothers as well. So yes, they know each other’s voices. They have written over 1,000 songs for themselves as well as other artists ( as well as producing other artists), you have a lot to pick from. Nights on broadway ( the midnight special version), To love somebody ( the 1967 version), tragedy, there is a live version on RUclips…that should get you started.
Love them they are such a part of music history forever.💕
The Beatles, The Beach Boys and the Bee Gees: the three greatest (the 3 Bs) of contemporary poprock. Why? Because each of these bands "invented" an "original" sound, each was a genius for catchy melody, each gave itself a signature that is unique to it and recognizable among all. In other words, exceptional creators incapable of missing a composition! Result: They have become benchmarks for musical perfection (in their genre, of course); they will remain so for a very long time... and that's only fair! Thanks.
GREAT reaction. Nobody can match Barry's falsetto. All the ladies wanted Barry, and all the men wanted to be him.
Thank you!
Yes!!!! I love these guys. Incredible songwriters and harmonizers. The one song I’d love you to do is “you should be dancing” and react to the video that has them on stage with their brother who was a solo artist and it has clips from the movie Saturday Night Fever intermingled in with them on stage. And there’s a certain famous movie star dancing all over the stage from the movie ;)
I know you said that you'd like to see a performance on how the brothers interact with one another, but my rec for the one of the best live performances is the solo by Robin Gibb of I Started a Joke (from the One For All tour in '89). It's a masterclass in vibrato singing, and Robin's vocals are sublime
Totally agree with that recommendation. Robin is stunning on that!
That's such a beautiful performance from beautiful robin x
I’m not kidding you, I have watched at least 30 people react to this. Imo - one of thee most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard ❤harmonies are angelic!
I’ve seen grown men cry on this one 😢
Great reactions! You should definitely react to Andy Gibb, their brother. He looks and sounds so much like Barry Gibb. All four brothers were crazy talented.
Thanks!
No auto tune here. Just plain Talent.
Yes! This was great. The Bee Gees are amazing. Definitely listen to Fanny be tender, along with More than a woman. Both are stunning.....
Fun Fact: Two of the songs you reacted to here were in the 1978 charts. The 1978 Billboard Hot 100 charts (YEAR END CHART) had "How Deep is Your Love" at #6 for the year and "Night Fever" at #2 for the year. They were both beat out by ... ((drum roll, please)) ... "Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb - The Bee Gees younger brother!!
Andy Gibb had the #1 song of 1978.
The Bee Gees - and their younger brother - dominated the charts. Between them they had 5 out of the top 10 songs of the year
#1 Andy Gibb - Shadow Dancing
#2 The Bee Gees - Night Fever
#4 The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
#6 The Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love
#8 Andy Gibb - (Love Is) Thicker Than Water
Tragedy, How Deep Is Your Love and Too Much Heaven - all written in one afternoon!! Barry, Robin and Maurice were genius songwriters...pretty damn fine singers too! 😍🤩
React to their younger brother, Andy Gibb's music videos "Love Is Thicker Than Water" and "Shadow Dancing".
Yes, check'em out live! They're brilliant good as well. Medley 1989 in Melbourne or medley from Brit Awards in 1997. Also MTV Most Wanted in 1993, a song which is called 'Blue Island'. But there are countless good ones too, over more than 4 strong decades.
The 1997 Brit Awards video is awesome! Not only do you get the wonderful Bee Gees medley, but there's Prince dancing to You Should Be Dancing!!!
Also 0ne Night Only in Vegas 1997. Fantastic concert on RUclips!
I think you'd really enjoy their song Jive Talkin'. It's very funky. The vocals are great & they're playing instruments in the official music video + are a little more lively/less stoic. Not sure if it's actually 'live' or synced w/ the studio version as they would often do for performances back then. But you'd dig it based on your reactions to these, imo.
For an awesome live version of Jive Talkin' you should watch this one from the Midnight Special ruclips.net/video/MtAXkgpb7Po/видео.html
You’re right. The bass is subtle but hits in the ups and down. Makes this background music sound so full.
Their song "YOU SHOULD BE DANCING " is kickass. The live version has their little brother , Andy, with them. He was popular in my day but sadly died in his 30's. RIP ANDY
Ooh, nice! The Bee Gees don't have a bad song, but "How Deep is Your Love" is definitely one of my favourites as well. I'd recommend "You Win Again", "Lonely Days", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Fanny Be Tender With My Love", "Alone", "You Should Be Dancing", "Tragedy", "I Started a Joke"... They are an incredibly versatile group, so do check out their earlier (e.g. "Lonely Days") and later (e.g. "Alone") stuff as well. I think you've mainly concentrated on the late '70s for now, except for "One". :-)
You Win Again & Tragedy are awesome too
Thank you 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. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. 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'. 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 More live recommendations: medleys of their older material like this one: ruclips.net/video/faoIZAvaQ6Y/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/gsQw8UKfxd0/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.
Thank you so much for the info!
You did it!!!!! Thank you! You covered the song "One", which I almost never hear..I mean seriously, isn't it just angelic?!! And you covered some other favorites of mine. Congrats! You have made my day. Even my week. BeeGees forever❤.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
A great way to watch the Bee Gees singing live is to watch one of their medleys. They usually did at least one medley at each concert, some of their older hits with a simple accompaniment and all singing close together with one mic, which is the way they had sung as young children when they first became professional singers and songwriters. This is a really good medley from 1989: ruclips.net/video/BfIMEdc8BdE/видео.html . Or this one from 1997 ruclips.net/video/2t9aXJC2Xqw/видео.html . Or do them both. They were fabulous live performers.
This. Is. Pure. Talent. No. Auto tune. Wonderful. Beegees. God. Bless. Them great. Group
I am of the opinion that the live presentations should be heard AFTER listening to the studio versions, many times the orchestras alter the magic of the most representative songs, the only live version that I could recommend would be the one of the song "Nights on Broadway", the only live performance that does them justice, and then tell you that to recommend songs by the Bee Gees is very, very difficult, the catalog is long, they even made their younger brother Andy Gibb a star, who in In 1978 they composed the song that was NUMBER 1 OF THE YEAR on Billboard USA, IN ADDITION to other fabulous songs, they also composed countless singers, THE DISTINCTIVE that the Bee Gees had when making songs for other artists was to appear on the song as background choirs, so if you ever hear a song in which you think there is a background choir with the Bee gees' voice, it is sure that they made it for ra that singer. examples would be "emotions" by Samantha Sang, "Heartbreaker" by Dione Warwick...
I agree Nights on Broadway live is magic
Love seeing your ears being immensely blessed at the beginning of "How Deep is Your Love".
My suggestion is "Georgy Porgy" by Toto.
Absolutely LOVE this new idea of a miniseries Bee Gees reaction! 👍❤️
First time on your channel and really enjoy seeing paying attention to the smallest surprises they insert in their songs. They always knew what they were doing vocally, lyrically and musically, going for the best effect. Thank you for today's best 20 minutes 😂😍
Thank you for watching!
Such great talents! Angelic harmonies! Amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Loved this. 4 songs in one reaction. Great idea. Best live is their acapella version of How Deep is your Love on the des oconnor show. Or their MTV performance of Blue Island. Actually anything. Their live performances are as good as their studio tapes.
Simply beautiful. The Bee Gees were one of my fathers favourite groups, he loved How Deep is Your Love. It was on his mix tape for the car, along with some other amazing tunes that when i hear them it brings back so many memories. As i have got older i have grown to appreciate how good the Bee Gees were. I'm not sure if i mentioned a singer/songwriter James Arthur from the UK to you before? Well worth a look at great songs and voice. Thank you my friend.
Check out Bee Gees Closer Than Close (live in Los Vegas 1997) and their live concert in 1979 Giving Up The Ghost, also Wind of Change
we have a monument to them here in Redcliffe Australia where they grew up
Yes they know each other very well as they are brothers. The older one is Barry. The other two are fraternal twins, Robin (long blondish hair and Maurice (receding hair line). They started performing at about age 8, in 1958.
YES! i’ve been waiting for this one! great choices to listen to, and it made me so happy to see One getting some attention, that song isn’t appreciated enough lmao. you could easily make countless videos on the bee gees but for the next video i would suggest including songs like Alone, Massachusetts, Jive Talkin, and Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) - which i personally think was the very best song they ever recorded.
Thanks for that ..... that was a sumptuous feast of pure unadulterated ear candy for an unapologetic life-long beegees fan like me......I've been a fan from 1968....when I was all of 8 years old....thanks so much.... looking forward to more.....
..
Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed your observations and the various elements you picked up on for each of the 4 songs. When you mentioned the drums in your comments about the song “One” I immediately thought of another Bee Gees song, “You Win Again”. I hope you consider reacting to it. Thanks for your enjoyable reaction videos. I appreciate the sincerity and the honesty especially when you relate how a song affects you emotionally.
Thank you so much!
Love the way you do 4 songs at a time. If you get the time and get back to them I would like to request a nother 4 song grouping if I may? "I could not love you more", "The only love", "Will you still love me tomorrow", and "Live or die". That would be so awesome if you could do those together! They are all amazing, but then again, so is everything they do. I think they were allergic to writing bad songs ;) Hardcore BG's fan since 72.
Just the expression on your face is priceless. Auntie love, love, loved your reaction nephew. 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤. Now you have to react to "Fannie be tender ", and "You win again ", both by the 🐝 Gees 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
listen to your Auntie!!
I Really enjoy the Bee Gees Buffett you served!
Love the bass parts on all their sons. Maurice composes them even if he does not play the bass during a concert, his bass part is played by the hired bassist.
After years of Barry singing falsetto, found it difficult to continue concert tours because it affects his back muscles and caused pain. They produced a dvd called For One Night Only. So at least we have their concert preserved for all time
Barry is a wonderful singer and songwriter, as is Robin. But too often people forgot that Maurice was too! Closer Than Close is one great example of his songwriting and singing. There's a live version on RUclips that really good.
Enjoyed your sampler platter reaction of the Bee Gees. They are legends with a buffet of great music!
Whoa! 80's Bee Gees! Thank you! 🥰
Thanks for watching!
Everytime I hear one of these guys songs it become my new favorite. It still happens each time I hear one of their songs again.
Oh. Sweetie,. You are going to have many favorites after you hear more Bee gees 💕💕💕. Great reaction 👍😍
Thank you!
Really like your style reacting to BGs, you say exactly the most important details, and reacting to more than one song was good. You sound so much like the comedian from the past Jerry Seinfeld!!
Thank you!
I was in grade school when they were huge. Them, Barry Manilow, etc. I had an older brother in high school, so I heard it all through the bedroom wall! When I started buying music in oh 1980-82, this was all VERY uncool! But I knew all the words and secretly loved it and saw them in concert. Screw everybody!!! Hahaha!!! 🤣
They're brothers and have been performing together since they were young kids. If you want to see a good live performance try "One Night Only", Words is my favorite song of theirs but Jive Talkin is quite good too
Nights On Broadway, BeeGees live on The Midnight Special is a must-see. Their younger brother Andy Gibb can also be seen performing live on Midnight Special, Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, hosting Solid Gold, & on duets with Olivia Newton-John, Crystal Gayle, Marie Osmond, Frankie Valli & that list goes on & on.....best voices ever
Classic!! Oh those harmonies!! A lot of people don't know they had some really amazing songs in the late 60s as well....they were putting out great music pre-disco. Holiday, I Started A Joke, I've Got To Get A Message To You, Massachusetts.....so many others. You should check into those as well. Side note.... Take That did a remake of "How Deep Is Your Love" which is actually very good, with one of the weirdest most sadistic videos to accompany it
"How Deep is Your Love" has always been my favorite too. Good choice. ;)
“Oh, you make my world a summer day…” just evokes such an “ahhhh” feeling.
Please listen to their live performance, "One Night Only" in Las Vegas. You absolutely will love it..no, adore it!
Enjoyed your reaction..we fans luv the lads...soooooooo much...
Thank you!
And you missed "You should be Dancing" which features the 4th Bee Gee brother !
Please react to the Live Performance of the Bee gees song You Should Be Dancing. Andy Gibb their youngest brother sings with them. Andy sang part time with the Bee gees and had a Solo career. The plan was for him to then join the Bee Gees full time. Andy was announced as joining them but passed away before he could. Andy was 30 Years old.
Jive Talking bass line is everything, and you would love it! Nights on Broadway shows their individual voices very well. They all could do falsetto and do it well. Fanny, Be Tender With My Love is an absolutely stunning masterpiece and my biggest rec for them. Quincy Jones said it's one of the best R&B songs he's heard and tried in vain to find someone to cover it. Older songs like To Love Somebody, I Started A Joke and Massachusetts (Robin lead on the second two with his angelic emotional and vulnerable voice) are must-hears too.
Love your reactions to this. They always sound lovely.
Never a bad song at all from them.
Thank you!
Love your reactions!! I'm a newbie so I'm going back in time to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts on some great bands/groups!
Thank you for watching!
BGs have been singing since the twins Mauricexxxxxxx n Robinsxxxxx we're 6 n Older brother Barryxxxxxxxx was 9, for 5 decades .. thousands of songs they have written n hundreds of songs for the likes of Barbs Streisand, Dolly parents, Celine deon..they don't read or write music ..so amazing!!! They are British, read the Auto Bio..amazing..they had a baby brother Andy look him up also so gifted...
Vocal restraint. Great observation. Give a listen to Nights on Broadway or Fanny, Be Tender. Love your appreciation of the Bee Gees.
It was a pleasure to see someone who appreciates the music I grew up with...🙂
bee gees love you inside out
You should check out their song " secret love" and " alone"
U ain’t ready for 2 much heaven🔥🔥🔥top 5 slow jam EVER
Jive Talkin’, Fanny be tender with my love, and Nights on Broadway are other greats from them you have to check out!!
Oh and so is How Deep is your Love! ☺ The Beegees also wrote a lot of songs for other artists. Amazing talented family! LJ
They also had a brother that passed young Andy Gibb he also was a singer
The last one is also my favorite... It reminds me of a spring Sunday morning full of sunshine and happiness
Barry produced guilty album for Barbra Streisand, n the whole album went to #1. look it up,!!! They sang it together on stage was fabulous...
Barry & his talented brothers wrote ALL the songs on the Guilty album too!
If you haven't seen it, there is a concert, I believe it was in Vegas, One Night Only and it's on RUclips and you should watch it!!!
For a live performance I recommend their 1997 Las Vegas One Night Only concert! A sampling of their greatest hits-and a fabulous way to hear them in th 1990's!
