Songs for Dionne Warwick, Andy, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dolly, not to mention the countless ones they wrote for thenselves and recorded. Has their ever been a musical group this creative or talented in Modern music history, with the longevity they had as a group.
Would have loved to have seen them live because they are just legendary and unforgettable ❤❤❤ The day the last Bee Gee leaves us . Will be a very sad day indeed .
I wish i could tell Barry Gibb just how much joy he and his brothers have brought to me and so many millions of people worldwide. Their talent is unmatched.
Yes! They write everything, for themselves and everyone else!! If you have time, watch the old 1971 live concert. It’s black and white, and crackly, but it’s the best in my opinion. You get to see how vivacious Robin used to be (he and Mo.) It is truly unbelievably wonderful! And all of those great old song have totally stood the test of time. A medley is usually a group of three songs just put together. They have soooooo many songs, sometimes it is easier to mesh a few together, rather than to try to play All of our favorites. None of us would ever go home! I have a new top 3 favorite! It’s called The Only Love. If you haven’t listened to it, you’re in for a treat! Another great romantic! Islands in the Stream, they wrote it for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.❤❤❤
The Bee Gees are the only group I listen to that I don't skip past a single song! I LOVE them!! Have you done, "Massachusetts"? Robin sings the lead in that one. If you haven't already, please do, "One", "I Surrender", and "To Love Somebody". Thank you for doing the Bee Gees! There is no comparison in the music world!!! 🙏💜💙💚❤💗👍👏
Medley is a collection of songs all rolled into one. The first Song they wrote for someone else, is called Heartbreaker song by Dionne Warrick, she is 2nd cousins with Whitney Houston The second song called islands in the stream they wrote this song for Kenny Rogers and than it was changed to a duet with Kenny and Dolly Parton still the number 1 song by a duet in Country music.
They wrote everything they sang big fan still listening from the very 3arly 60s to today 2023 we will never see the likes again, thank god for videos and RUclips
I Love seeing anyone who is tapping into the variety of the Bee Gees and realizing, "Holy cow, not only is their Disco bad ass, but these guys are bad ass period." Through and through my man. Enjoy!
Yeah some don't realise they do more than disco.Some of their k after ballads like Alone are just stunning.I love it when Mo sings lead eg Closer than close
You're absolutely right. They sound just as good live, including harmonies! Medley in this case means a collection of many of their songs that were hits over the course of their career. So yes, these are all their songs written by them. You're getting a preview of many of their songs. Alot of the early stuff featured Robin's vocals. Also this performance, as many of their live performances m, featured their humor.
In music, a medley is a piece composed from parts of existing pieces played one after another, sometimes overlapping. They are common in popular music, and most medleys are songs rather than instrumentals. Wikipedia
Cool t-shirts! Yes you only have scratched the surface of these guys catalog. I observe how much you enjoy these masters in music! One of the songs that comes to my mind if you want to hear Robin’s voice the original video of “For whom the bells tolls”, it is a really nice track! You will be amazed by Robin’s unique vocals!
I'm in the middle of the this reaction, and you just acknowledged Robin's voice. Was patiently waiting for that for a while now. LOL The sound of magic and wonder. Always ON POINT
I need to go back and listen to many songs again now that I have a better understanding of the band. I think I focused on Barry a lot because I first saw him in the staying alive video as the "lead" singer. Robin and Maurice are both very talented!
Heartbreaker written for Dionne Warwick and Islands in the Stream written for Kenny Rogers, which became a duet with Dolly Parton and the #1 all time country song.
Here are the songs they sang in order: 1-New York mining disaster 2-Holiday 3-Too much heaven 4-Heartbreaker (Dionne Warwick) 5-Islands in the stream (Kenny Rogers + Dolly Parton) 6- Run to me ❤
@@gregpek1624- "Mining Disaster" was written in 1967 during a power failure when it made them think of being trapped in a mine. It was shortly after the Aberfan mining disaster in Wales and probably on their minds. "Too much Heaven" was written in 1978 and the funds raised went to UNICEF. They did write "How can you men a broken heart" and "Lonely Days" the same day that they got back together in 1970.
Ahhh the Bee Gees! Talent on loan from God. Medley is a collection or group of songs being sung at the same time or setting. Sometimes may not include the entire song- a sampling, if you will. And the hits just keep on coming, as the DJs used to say!
Islands in the Stream was Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. CMA awards voted that duet as the best of all time country duets. When Kenny Rogers won an award for it, he made sure to thank the Bee Gees for writing the song.
A medley is simply a mixture of snippets from some of their songs. They wrote for Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger’s, Barbara Streisand, Dionne Warwick to name a few. Their catalogue is vast.
My favorite BeeGees song. Think about that for a minute. HOW GREAT does a song have to be, to be considered the singular favorite amidst the entire BeeGees catalog? This GREAT.
Medley ... just a sampling/compilation of many songs. Now you've got a bunch of new songs to listen to in whole! Enjoy the Bee Gees journey! It's a ride! Over a thousand songs. Have a nice day.
Medley is a combination of songs, often parts of songs, as they did here. The 1963 Medley really showcases their stage presence at an early age. My favorite. In this medley, all songs were hits over the years. Robin sang many songs - you should try I Started a Joke from 1967 - or any live version. A beautiful song that never fails to bring a tear
A medley is a collection of songs . To hear Robin at his finest and solo look for an early version of his song I STARTED A JOKE its one of the saddest songs ever and yet is brilliant at the same time , I believe it was released when the group reformed after Robin went his own way for a while . Another medley to look out for is where they sing songs written for other artists I'm not sure which concert it's in but I'm sure some of the fans can tell you .
I don’t hear I STARTED A JOKE as sad. I hear his clever humor. It’s like the song it self became the joke that made people cry. It’s just that he sings it so dramatically that it sounds sad, but how can you really take “I fell out of bed hurting my head” seriously? I love the 1989 live performance, but do agree that the later performances do seem sad because I know he died too young after years of illness.
Robin wrote "Joke" in 1968, before the breakup. "Decades - The Bee Gees in the 1960's" said - "It has always been recognized as Robin's signature song and he is primarily credited it with its creation." Robin said the melody came to him "in one of those four engine prop jobs (over Essen Germany) that seemed to drone the passengers into a sort of hypnotic trance. The droning after a while took the form of a tune". When Barry was asked the meaning he said, you will have to ask Robin. To me it is a reflection of his personality. He always admitted to being a loner who had trouble communicating to people and the lyrics reflect that, at least to me. I joke and people cry. I cry and people laugh. He said the song was "spiritual" to him and would not try to explain it. I think it is a song about alienation.
They wrote heartbreaker for Dionne Warwick and released it later by themselves. In this song Barry sings lead with his "harmonika" what you call it almost the whole song! worth to react to it!
I love their live medleys, especially when they sing Run to Me. You can often hear some of the crowd getting excited before Robin sang his part as they knew it would always sound beautiful.
I get a kick out of your reactions. I love that a guy from a younger generation appreciates the music I grew up on. I feel the 70's produced the most increduble music in history. And I feel so fortunate to have lived it.
You have to do Words, the original with Barry and the one with Andy Gibb. You ll be amazed how much he sounds like Barry. What a loss at such a young age
A medley is simply doing many songs but only segments of each. Necessary because they had SO MANY hits to do them in their full versions. You get to hear each brother well and see their personalities in the medley as well as some of their older songs and those they wrote for others. The twins were jokers who always tried to crack up Barry, especially in interviews, while he tried to keep them in order. Consummate performers. Fingers in their belt loops (Robin) or in their pockets (M0) and beauty from their voices. This version of "Too much heaven" was in their natural voices, not falsetto. Three voices around one mic, a guitar and tens of thousands of people. Yes, they wrote every song they sang here. Robin's solo of "I started a joke" from this concert is astounding.
The brothers Gibb wrote all of their songs. They could not read or write a single music note and yet their ability to write amazing songs! Each with their own voice and yet it was magic when they sang together. I hope you listen to Maurice's "Closer than close". Also, Maurice was more often than not the clown on stage.
They would often roll up several of their tunes and / or those written for others into a "medley". I beleive they did this because they didn't have time to do ALL the songs and this gave the audience a taste of the popular songs across various eras. I particularly like this version of "Too Much Heaven" in the lower register. Another great reaction!
Love your reactions... medley just means a collection of their songs, little snippets. I saw them in 1975 at a small venue and they were GREAT! I have been following them since I was a teen, mid to late 60's, love love love them. Dolly & Kenny did Islands in the Stream, Dionne Warwick did Heart Breaker.
1st song is New York Mining Disaster 1947. Written in the sixties.too much heaven ( non falsetto version), Heartbreaker ( Dion Warwick), Islands in the stream ( Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers), run to me…love this !
The Bee Gees only sang the songs they wrote and produced. Once exception is they did a tribute to Carole KIng and song Will you still love me tomorrow. That was sooooo goood~~
They wrote several hits in the mid to late 60s where Robin took the lead many times. The first and second song were early beegees. After they started writing hits they stopped doing covers. But they were writing songs as youngsters! Per wikipedia: The Three Kisses of Love" is a song composed principally by Barry Gibb[1] and recorded by the Bee Gees. It was released on 22 March 1963 as the B-side of their debut single "The Battle of the Blue and the Grey". It was later included in numerous compilations. (A Medley is the name for a group of songs since you asked 9 mos ago!) They have recorded 30 thirty albums & are prolific songwriters! So glad they are bringing the same joy to YOU that I felt when i discovered them at 15 y.o. in 1975! ❤❤❤
A medley is a short collection of different songs rolled into one performance. I like your reaction to the Bee Gees. There is probably no generation of songwriters better than those of the 70's. Therese Hewitt
All the songs they're singing were written and arranged by them. They wrote over 1,000 songs. They're so phenomenal and it's so nice that they're being "discovered" by those that didn't grow up with them. This is my era and I love them even more today.
They write all their own music and for others as well. They produced other artists and wrote all the music for those albums. Lots of famous singers from different genres. Whenever you see medley with them it means they took a bunch of the songs that they wrote and sing them end to end in part or in whole.
In one of your Bee Gees reactions you said you were jealous of people who grew up in the 70s. That was me, but I didn't have the money to buy records back then. Cripes, they wrote and recorded some tear your heart out love songs, didn't they? I just turned 70 years old and I'm enjoying the Bee Gees even more now because I can. In another video you said something like "you know they were dropping some panties back then." Oh, yes, indeed. Thanks for cracking up this old lady!
Here are a few songs that spotlight Robin on lead vocals: I Started a Joke (68); it was his signature song and was played at his funeral, Massachusetts (68); their 1st UK #1, and I Can’t See Nobody (67). Really enjoy your channel, especially all of the Bee Gees reactions.
Robin makes a fantastic job of I started a joke and Massachusetts. Bee Gees wrote all their songs, both for themselves and many other artists as well they never sang covers. They wrote over 1000 songs and over 100 were hits. The medley is a collection of some of their many hits.
A medley is when several partial songs are done in a row. They're able to include numerous hits, etc. The song Heartbreaker was written for Dionne Warwick and was a big hit for her.... Islands in the Stream was written for Kenny Roger's who did a duet with Dolly Parton (sp). You should check out the other Bee Gee's song done by Dionne Warwick called All The Love in the World! Love their music!!
Yes, it's called "Medley" because it's outtakes from several of their songs. The first song on that video is "New York Mining Disaster 1941" Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song while sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued. According to the liner notes for their box-set Tales from the Brothers Gibb (1990), this song was inspired by the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales. According to Robin, there actually had also been a mining disaster in New York in 1939, but not in 1941, and he thought "New York" sounded more "glamorous". In the second and third verses, the lyrical lines get slower and slower, as if to indicate that life is about to end for the miners. On the second chorus, the drums get louder. On the second verse, when Robin sings the line "I keep straining my ears to hear a sound," a violin was featured in response on Robin's line.
They wrote so many #1 hits over the years and not just for themselves.
The Lord blessed their parents with all these talented sons.
Songs for Dionne Warwick, Andy, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dolly, not to mention the countless ones they wrote for thenselves and recorded. Has their ever been a musical group this creative or talented in Modern music history, with the longevity they had as a group.
BeeGees can't be matched
Will never be topped
There have been no family acts this creative, productive, and harmonious in modern music history. All hail the brothers Gibb!!!!
Imagine that sound, and they couldn't read music.
Their harmonies are just spectacular
Its a taste of some of their songs. Thats what a medley is.
You know it’s true talent when 3 brothers can produce those angelic voices around a microphone.
They write EVERYTHING they sing!,
It's great that you discovered the BEE GEES, they will bring a ray of sunshine to your life.
Would have loved to have seen them live because they are just legendary and unforgettable ❤❤❤ The day the last Bee Gee leaves us . Will be a very sad day indeed .
They wrote their own songs and many songs for other famous singers.
How could one family have so much talent.
I wish i could tell Barry Gibb just how much joy he and his brothers have brought to me and so many millions of people worldwide. Their talent is unmatched.
They wrote all of their songs. In interviews they state they are writers first, then performers.
They wrote everything they 🎶 sing! Everything! Each song is separate, but they put them together and played them together.❤❤❤
Robin’s voice is like a warm blanket on a cold winter’s day. ❤
Absolutely Brothers Bee GEES..Forever ❤👏👏Robin ❤love 💜
These boys are the BOMB ! EVERYSINGLE SONG...UNBELIEVEABLE TALENT....LYRICS AND SOUND !
Three Brothers singing, is like an instrument that money cannot buy :-) their voices is like a rare gem you cannot find it❤

This concert was one of their best. I watch the DVD over and over .
Bee gees are o
Song writers they rarely sing covers except Will you still love me tomorrow.
They right for other artists too
Robin sang solo I seen him here in australia before he died. His voice was my favourite. They wrote all there songs.
RIP guys
Every song they sing they wrote. started sing in the 1950’s. Plus they wrote many songs for other singers, giving those singers, #1 hits.

They write all their own music and for others as well. They produced other artists and wrote all the music for those albums. Lots of famous singers from different genres. Whenever you see medley with them it means they took a bunch of the songs that they wrote and sing them end to end in part or in whole.
In one of your Bee Gees reactions you said you were jealous of people who grew up in the 70s. That was me, but I didn't have the money to buy records back then. Cripes, they wrote and recorded some tear your heart out love songs, didn't they? I just turned 70 years old and I'm enjoying the Bee Gees even more now because I can. In another video you said something like "you know they were dropping some panties back then." Oh, yes, indeed. Thanks for cracking up this old lady!
Here are a few songs that spotlight Robin on lead vocals: I Started a Joke (68); it was his signature song and was played at his funeral, Massachusetts (68); their 1st UK #1, and I Can’t See Nobody (67).
Really enjoy your channel, especially all of the Bee Gees reactions.
Thank you! And thanks for the info!
Robin makes a fantastic job of I started a joke and Massachusetts. Bee Gees wrote all their songs, both for themselves and many other artists as well they never sang covers. They wrote over 1000 songs and over 100 were hits. The medley is a collection of some of their many hits.
A medley is when several partial songs are done in a row. They're able to include numerous hits, etc. The song Heartbreaker was written for Dionne Warwick and was a big hit for her.... Islands in the Stream was written for Kenny Roger's who did a duet with Dolly Parton (sp). You should check out the other Bee Gee's song done by Dionne Warwick called All The Love in the World! Love their music!!
Yes, it's called "Medley" because it's outtakes from several of their songs.
The first song on that video is "New York Mining Disaster 1941"
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song while sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued. According to the liner notes for their box-set Tales from the Brothers Gibb (1990), this song was inspired by the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales. According to Robin, there actually had also been a mining disaster in New York in 1939, but not in 1941, and he thought "New York" sounded more "glamorous".
In the second and third verses, the lyrical lines get slower and slower, as if to indicate that life is about to end for the miners. On the second chorus, the drums get louder. On the second verse, when Robin sings the line "I keep straining my ears to hear a sound," a violin was featured in response on Robin's line.
That is amazing. Thank you for the history lesson. I need to listen again with this knowledge!
