I actually think that the loss of Maurice contributed to Robin's decline. I don't think he ever really dealt with it and drowned his sorrow in music. He should have gotten proper therapy. If you look through all his interviews and pics since Maurice died, you can see the grief on his face and overnight aging. I absolutely loved him and his voice and his death is just too sad for words.
@@SelfStorage-l6y - He also undoubtedly suffered from PTSD all of life by his own admission after Hither Green. At that time it was not even recognised let alone treated. He said he had nightmares about it for the rest of his life. Barry said after the accident Robin went from a joyous, hilarious kid to a moody and sad person, not the brother he previously knew.
I was born in 1961. I fell in love with Robin’s voice before I ever saw him or even knew the name of his group. His voice was heavenly. I’m 63 now and his voice is still spellbinding to me. RIP Robin.❤🙏
I cannot think of anyone who can sing vibrato the way Robin does. His voice range is incredible. He can sing vibrato, falsetto, soul, and the list goes on. He was an excellent songwriter, as well. What a talented man he was. He and his twin, Maurice, are both sorely missed.
Robin is utterly incredible, I fell in love with the ethereal sound of his voice in the 1960's when he realised "Saved by the Bell'. His voice touches my soul and many songs bring tears to my eyes. Robin also was naturally hilariously funny,. No one sings like Robin, God's broke the mould, when he sent Robin to earth for us to enjoy. May Robin always Rest In Peace ❤❤
@@kthorhere you are yet AGAIN on a video solely about Robin posting the same snide, disrespectful garbage. For someone who hates him you're clearly obsessed with posting over and over
Robin was the voice. I don’t care what anyone says. As a young girl, I thought Barry was the voice. But no, now I know it was Robin. By goodness, what a voice!! He was such an incredible presence and had the voice of an angel.
Robin Gibb truly left a deep impression on me. Every time I hear his voice, it feels like I’m transported back to my most beautiful memories. An irreplaceable talent! ❤🎶
I never was a fan of the Bee Gees at all, especially through that disco crap. I was a hard rocker from the start. As time went on and I did settle down, I listened to some of their music and songs outside of the disco stuff and I liked it. As I learned more of them and listened to the lyrics of their songs my admiration and respect grew for them a great deal. I also started buying their albums and a few cassette tapes, which I still have and listen too. The songs, I've Gotta Get a Message to You, To Love Somebody, and I Started A Joke really sunk in for me. Then I saw Barry Gibb on an interview that kind of made me feel like I really knew him. My admiration and respect for them all has grown so much now and I realized how much talent each one of them possess. They were all great performers, writers, producers and and artists. RIP Robin and Maurice and Keep pn Keepin' on Barry!!! This interview says it all: ruclips.net/video/HxkSNV7HtYM/видео.html
Robin is truly a legend. He wrote beautiful songs and his voice was so angelic outrageous and divine. He was a kind lovable person, and interesting personality. A unique man.❤️❤️❤️❤️
You think so. You want to believe so. If you see better almost half of thei songs its his idea and you can understand that from their lyrics. Only Robin was so sensible@@kthor
@@haratriantafillou3208 He's credited for I Started A Joke, Massachusetts, I've Gotta Get A Message To You, & I Can't See Nobody. So hardly "sensible"!
All of the songs where Robin takes the lead, are my favourites. A beautiful, unforgettable voice. The very, very best. Thank you, Robin. You will be loved always. ❤️🕊️
My best friend and I were the first Bee Gees fans in our high school. I played guitar and he was inspired by Maurice to learn bass guitar. We learned their early hits and often performed them at parties and weddings. Robin was out favorite. Robin, Maurice and my best friend are now gone. I miss them every day and every time I hear one of their songs my heart aches.
"A ...vibrant tenor who could soar to incredible heights." Yep. You named that correctly! Even if I had his voice, I couldn't do his songs. They tear at my heart so much that I would break into tears before I could finish the set.
Thank you for this very well done salute to Robin. He was part of one of the most successful music writing AND performing partnerships ever. RIP Robin, and Maurice also.
I remember laying on our beautiful orange and brown wall to wall shag carpeting , in front of our 8 track HIFI stereo in our living room,. I would lay between the 2 speakers , still damp and drying off in my Hollie Hobby nightie after my post dinner bath, pressing the buttons on our stereo, trying to find "I Started A Joke." I would lay there, volume turned up, singing my 9 year old heart out, lost in Robin's beautiful voice and lyrics. This was in the later half of the 1970's. My brother and I were being raised by my father and were latch-key kids. An 8 and 10 year old, making TV dinners in the oven, waiting for our over-night babysitter to show up and put us to bed. My single 24 year old father just joined the fire department and worked 12 hour shifts. Every time I hear Robbin's voice , to this day, I can close my eyes and I can still smell the new carpet smell while I sing my heart out along with the BeeGess
Wonderful story! I was older in early 70s but I remember laying between those huge speakers all the guys sent home from Vietnam, putting records on, lighting one up and stretching out after a long shift at work while my boyfriend & rest the college housing students stepped over me trekking back and forth to the kitchen. Most of them never graduated; I finally did at 40 and went on to a rewarding teaching career. Music has always been my constant throughout my tumultuous life and have shared the BeeGees & other great music with 2 generations of students.
I can't believe this great video made no mention or show of Robin's harmonic, beautiful and almost otherworldly voice in, For Whom the Bells Toll. For me that one was magical, almost otherwordly and unforgettable.
I agree with you. The voice is described as a great "vibrato" which is unsophisticated and misses the beauty of his sound. Of the brothers, he had the best voice.

@@jimmyavpi - You again who said Robin was a junkie. So was Andy who used illegal drugs and died as a result. Robin used Rx drugs and stopped completely. Robin's teeth gave him a helluva great smile but he was always made fun of by a-holes like you. You are such a nice guy. I don't see your photo Bucky. You said Barry later sang with Robin's children. You could not identify which of Robin's children sang with Barry because they didn't. You chickened out on that one.
I saw the Bee Gees in Chicago in 1973, the late "tweener" stage of their early career. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" became my late wife's favorite song. Odessa was the last album I bought before leaving for the navy in 1969, always my favorite album by them. I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the Bee Gee's "New York Mining Disaster, 1941," laying out at a public swimming pool with my girlfriend, August 1967. The sound haunted me. I'm glad I saw them before the disco era; I hated that Barry used that falsetto so much after the phase ended.
@@indy_go_blue6048 At least Barry’s falsetto is just a technique he can use. It’s not his actual full-time voice. Which is not the same thing I can say about Robin’s grating, irritating, sometimes depressing, often unpleasant, better in small doses, nasally duck toned voice with an often goat vibrato. Just saying. 😊 At least Barry’s falsetto technique made them rich, and famous, and 70s icons, so ninner ninner. Keep biting the hand that fed Robin, Robin fans. 👅 And Barry didn’t find out he could do falsetto until Nights on Broadway. It wasn’t always something he used, as you imply. And like I said, blame your special Robin if Barry continued using it longer than your sensibilities like. Barry wanted to stop singing in it much earlier. But Robin was demanding, and wanted more money.
The Bee Gees will always be known for their drive and ability to change with their music. Anyone would be hard-pressed to find another band or artist who was able to stay relevant from 1959 through the 2000s with Berry still performing today. I do not have a favorite among the Gibb brothers and that includes Andy, all had so much talent and all had their trials BUT All had each other and their great family. The thing I like best about the Gibb family is their all-for-one and one-for-one-for-all lifestyle, when Morice hit rock bottom with his drinking problem, his wife and kids moved in with Berry. Berry said they had to give hard love even going as far as to not let Morice see them. Berry said this was one of the hardest things he ever had to do but in the end, Morice fought his demon and won his family back. RIP Andy, Robin, and Morice you are all greatly missed
@@Zlata1313And you rabid Robin fans love to slander Barry. I personally have decided I like Robin. Despite the things about him that would never make me a fan, plus, well, I already have my guy (Barry), and I’m faithful to him, I think there are things about Robin that I don’t understand, and definitely can’t sit here and know what truly went down between Barry and Robin and Andy over the years, and I just feel like giving Robin some grace. I don’t know why. Was he my type of guy? No. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have some sympathy for him, and be open to the possibility that he has some redeeming qualities, and I really don’t know what kind of guy he was. It’s really weird, but I’ve been feeling really sympathetic toward him lately. 🤷♀️ I’m open to liking him. I don’t know Barry’s side of the story, either. It really depends, to me, on how he treated Barry.
The title is misleading. His life was not tragic at all. He just lived what many have lived except for the stardom part. I loved being a teenager in the 70s and the BeeGees, disco bars etc. "I Started A Joke" is by far my favourite BeeGee song. It always pulls at my heart.
@@RickCarroll-Canada thank you for the input, we’re trying to make each video better, so I will make sure we title things more appropriately, thank you for watching, please like and subscribe!
I think Robin' s most iconic vocals were on Love Me on the Bee Gees 1976 album Children if the World he just masters the R'N B styling with his most emotive vocals pushing his boundaries to heartbroken vulnerability to the point of pleading desperation. Truly breathtaking
Patty-Robin was my favorite when I was 17 and still is today at 75. His voice, his sense of humor, and intelligence, both musical and academic, and his creativity made him the unique individual he was. A man who possessed a big heart and who was willing to put others before himself. Robin you are loved, respected, and will always remain in our hearts. 💕
Robin did not have a tragic life He experience agony and ecstasy, like most of us. He was a brilliant vocalist and keen harmonizer. Taught his trade by two exceptionally talented parents, and his older brother Barry and twin brother Maurice. My guess is their sister had some impact and influence as well. He loved to take the lead on ballads, and he brought an awesome drama to the BeeGees dynamic!!
Bee Gees é clássico mundial! Harmonia perfeita desses irmãos! Robin com sua voz inigualável e talento nato encanta quando canta...sentimento...carisma...carinha de menino ❤❤❤❤simplesmente amo e amo Robin Gibb para sempre ❤❤❤❤❤
First heard these three Brothers harmonize live with only a singular guitar on Johnny Carson's Show..They were just being introduced to America but Their Voices were Different & Incredible..Great Writers Too..
The Robin's voice was and will be fenomenal, magic, very talented like his brothers Barry and Mo. The Bee Gees forever will be the beeeeeeeest songwriter in the world 💔 😢😢😢xxx
Robin was a true icon. Actually "Boys do Fall in Love" was on the Secret Agent Album rather than How Old are You as stated. That album had Juliette, another excellent song.
I enjoyed your video very much as I have always been a fan of their Music. Cancer doesn't care how rich a person is and continues to destroy people who don't deserve it. Their rendition of Massachusetts holds a special place in my heart and Robin's "I started a Joke" is one of my favorites. Thanks for a great job showing us their History of success~!! I liked and subscribed~!!
The music teacher in school used to call us bul frogs. We weren't into classical music (then). But thanks to the BGs, years later, I found I could play by ear. My elder sister was struggling with Spicks & Specks on the piano. I laughed and she said "if you're so smart, play." I started toying with the keys and to my surprise and delight, found I could play by ear. It's been very liberating. I've tried contacting Barry at Inner Ear to thank him but no success. Any help much appreciated.

He had an iconic voice. The disco move honestly did it. I love their harmonies. The falsetto, uhhh. But I liked their old songs. Robin did a lot of the earlier songs. I liked those a lot. I grew up to the disco ones though.
i always called Robin the “Prog Gibb” because he had a voice that would fit Progressive Rock perfectly (hence “Odessa”) Whenever i hear his songs they have the same effect on me as King Crimson, Moody Blues, Yes, and ELP. It always seemed to me later the Bee Gees took to disco in the same way Bob Dylan went electric in 1965.
First of all. Fame does not ruin people. It is how they handle fame. I still love being famous, and it will never ruin me. I am being famous in a different way. However, Robin was one of the excellent singers of the Bee Gees and his brothers, Andy Gibb. May he, Maurice, and Andy rest in peace.
@@joytimmons thank you for the input, we’re trying to make each video better, so I will make sure we title things more appropriately, thank you for watch, please like and subscribe!
I liked the early ballads best. I could attend one of his solo concerts in Berlin. His voice was incredible. It was a pity that he appeared with a huge orchestra and I had the feeling he used all his strength to sing to sing against it because it was incredibly loud. The last album when Maurice was still alive is wonderful.
I grew up in Massachusetts. My permanent residence has been elsewhere since I graduated high school but I have returned there several times a year for the past half century. I have lost count of the number of times the BeeGees have provided the theme music for me "Going back to Massachusetts" to see friends and family. RIP Robin.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories on this awesome band! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
I was a huge Bee Gees fan in the sixties and from "WORLD" onwards bought practically all their singles ending with DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER to which Robin did not contribute. His singing, however, was truly wonderful on classics such as MASSACHUSETTS, I STARTED A JOKE, I'VE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU. His high tenor was devastating at the end of LET THERE BE LOVE (from the IDEA-ALBUM), ODESSA and LAMPLIGHT (the great B-side to FIRST OF MAY). Solo his SAVED BY THE BELL was wonderful and so was the great lost album SING SLOWLY SISTERS! A great talent indeed!
Non possiamo criticare nessuno purché non sappiamo nulla di come sono andate le cose fra di loro...quello che so io è che sono stati dei cantanti stupendi meravigliose voci di tutti i tempi e io li porto nel cuore...specialmente Robin che era ed è sempre il migliore
If those boys had stayed in Australia believe me the world would never have known them. Thats exactly what my father said decades ago when we first saw them on Australian television. Barry was a very young teenager, and the two twins were only 12 years old. He recognised their amazing talent immediately and just as quickly said they won't make it if they stay here.
The relatively obscure album “idea“ by the Bee Gees, was the soundtrack of my tour in Vietnam. The song 'I’m going to join the Air Force today' kept going through my head while wading through the Mekong Delta as an army grunt.

I saw Robin Gibb performed solo in Singapore in the early 2000s. He said he would return and perform with his brothers, but sadly that never came to pass.
21 Jan 2025 (Fellow) Singaporean here. My recollection/perspective of that occasion please : the music correspondent for The Straits Times who covered the event (I have the news report somewhere among the heap of collected articles in my "Rock/Pop file") was none too thrilled with Robin's outing that evening, chief reason being his almost statue-like, stationary posture throughout his set, with none of the showmanship antics usually associated with pop/rock artistes. Granted he was never much of a dancer ("has two left legs" as one commenter humorously teased in a different video some time ago) but still.... Also, Maurice had passed on by this time. Robin sensed the passive mood of the audience and tried to rescue the moment by declaring that he hoped to have Barry along in a future concert date. But even then, instinctively and dismally, I was not optimistic. In 1967, the Brothers Gibb first and only concert at the now-demolished National Theatre (River Valley Road) left a bad taste in the band's mouth because of our government's anti-long hair policy then. All male artistes had to comply and the Bee Gees were not excused, having to trim their tresses (I'm not sure the promoter made it clear to them before the contract was signed). Since then of course the ruling on long hair has been scrapped and that's why so many international pop acts/artistes see Singapore differently now. I sense that Barry however still harbours residual pain from 1967. In later years I attended Cliff Richard/Leif Garrett/Air Supply concerts here in Singapore and their stagemanship was quite the thing (Poor Garrett had to ignore "the rows and rows of empty seats" and carried on his wildly endearing dance routines, the true professional he was. The concert promoter really lost a fortune that evening). All this coming from a lifelong Bee Gees fan. Gracias.
I’m Irish and here in Ireland we had our kinda superstar called Joe Dolan who had that pitch and incredible voice like him although perhaps not as versatile Yes I agree, they’d never have had the success they achieved staying in Australia, there just wasn’t the potential in popular music there
Started joke saved by bell also rings around moon love all of robing songs mo as well barry got all the praise but not them all beegees songs had me saved me time and time agne miss them so much xx❤❤❤❤❤

Despite the things about him that would never make me a fan, plus, well, I already have my guy (Barry), and I’m faithful to him, I think there are things about Robin that I don’t understand, and definitely can’t sit here and know what truly went down between Barry and Robin and Andy over the years, and I just feel like giving Robin some grace. I don’t know why. Was he my type of guy? No. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have some sympathy for him, and be open to the possibility that he has some redeeming qualities, and I really don’t know what kind of guy he was.
It’s really weird, but I’ve been feeling really sympathetic toward him lately. 🤷♀️ I’m open to liking him.
I don’t know Barry’s side of the story, either. It really depends, to me, on how he treated Barry.
@@Zlata1313What is she lying about? Poor little Robinettes! Just can't bear the truth can you? You can dish the Barry hate out but can't take it.
They were and still are the greatest singers of all time ❤❤❤❤
The Pre Disco era was full of these achingly beautiful songs, and Robin was movingly beautiful then
Definitely my favourite Bee Gee i just love his voice .He sings from the heart and soul. Greatly missed. 💙😢
Mmm, Barry’s my favorite.
I loved him so much 😢❤
Robin's voice was absolutely beautiful. He left way too soon as did Maurice

Andy left before the twins, because they didn't want him in the group.

As did John Lennon...
What a voice. Massachusetts is a gem. RIP Robin and Maurice. Thanks for the music.

The title is misleading. His life was not tragic at all. He just lived what many have lived except for the stardom part. I loved being a teenager in the 70s and the BeeGees, disco bars etc. "I Started A Joke" is by far my favourite BeeGee song. It always pulls at my heart.

Concordo 👍🇧🇷
I think Robin' s most iconic vocals were on Love Me on the Bee Gees 1976 album Children if the World he just masters the R'N B styling with his most emotive vocals pushing his boundaries to heartbroken vulnerability to the point of pleading desperation. Truly breathtaking
Massachusetts is my fave Robin song.

I Started a Joke
Patty-Robin was my favorite when I was 17 and still is today at 75. His voice, his sense of humor, and intelligence, both musical and academic, and his creativity made him the unique individual he was. A man who possessed a big heart and who was willing to put others before himself. Robin you are loved, respected, and will always remain in our hearts. 💕
Thank you for watching! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!

He could hold a note for sure !! Rest in peace Robin Gibb !!
They were the first concert I ever saw...1980!Great show!They opened with Tragedy!❤
'I can't see nobody' with his pre Joplin howl still rocks the soul and ear...74 year old says so.
Robin did not have a tragic life He experience agony and ecstasy, like most of us. He was a brilliant vocalist and keen harmonizer. Taught his trade by two exceptionally talented parents, and his older brother Barry and twin brother Maurice. My guess is their sister had some impact and influence as well. He loved to take the lead on ballads, and he brought an awesome drama to the BeeGees dynamic!!

Imo Robin had the best voice. And what a proud Mum she must have been! ❤
My all-time favorite coming from this group is 'To Love Somebody.'
My favorite too, such a beautiful song!
Me too ❤
One of mine faves too! Written & sung by Barry.
Mine too and it was written and sung by Barry Gibb, my favorite singer, songwriter and entertainer.
Since you asked, I favour their early ballad days. I have loved those songs since childhood, though all of their music is important
Robin's stimme ist einfach wunderschòn ❤❤❤
First heard these three Brothers harmonize live with only a singular guitar on Johnny Carson's Show..They were just being introduced to America but Their Voices were Different & Incredible..Great Writers Too..
My favourite Bee Gee ❤
The Robin's voice was and will be fenomenal, magic, very talented like his brothers Barry and Mo. The Bee Gees forever will be the beeeeeeeest songwriter in the world 💔 😢😢😢xxx
I started a Joke is THE BEST -equally beautiful and SAD
Great song!!
I miss them so much❤❤❤R.I.P. ROBIN&MAURICE❤❤❤BARRY LIVE FOREVER❤❤❤
My late mother taught them at Clontarf State School. She thought they were good kids.
Robin was a true icon. Actually "Boys do Fall in Love" was on the Secret Agent Album rather than How Old are You as stated. That album had Juliette, another excellent song.
Favorite song by robin was Massachusetts ❤
I enjoyed your video very much as I have always been a fan of their Music. Cancer doesn't care how rich a person is and continues to destroy people who don't deserve it. Their rendition of Massachusetts holds a special place in my heart and Robin's "I started a Joke" is one of my favorites. Thanks for a great job showing us their History of success~!!
I liked and subscribed~!!

I liked Robin alot. RIP❤
The music teacher in school used to call us bul frogs. We weren't into classical music (then).
But thanks to the BGs, years later, I found I could play by ear.
My elder sister was struggling with Spicks & Specks on the piano. I laughed and she said "if you're so smart, play."
I started toying with the keys and to my surprise and delight, found I could play by ear. It's been very liberating.
I've tried contacting Barry at Inner Ear to thank him but no success.
Any help much appreciated.
Massachusetts is my favourite…

🙏💜Robin Hugh Gibb 1949-2012 & his twin Maurice Ernest Gibb 1949-2003, rest in blissful eternal peace.💜🙏
How dare anyone say fame killed him. He had more to offer us in 1 tear of his eyes than anyone i know.
rip Robin ❤
To love somebody ❤
He had an iconic voice. The disco move honestly did it. I love their harmonies. The falsetto, uhhh. But I liked their old songs. Robin did a lot of the earlier songs. I liked those a lot. I grew up to the disco ones though.
Thank you for watching! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
Great video! Maurice is pronounced “Morris” I believe.
Robin had the most beautiful voice!
i always called Robin the “Prog Gibb” because he had a voice that would fit Progressive Rock perfectly (hence “Odessa”) Whenever i hear his songs they have the same effect on me as King Crimson, Moody Blues, Yes, and ELP. It always seemed to me later the Bee Gees took to disco in the same way Bob Dylan went electric in 1965.
Thanks a bunch for watching our videos! Give them a thumbs up and subscribe to stay in the loop.
First of all. Fame does not ruin people. It is how they handle fame. I still love being famous, and it will never ruin me. I am being famous in a different way. However, Robin was one of the excellent singers of the Bee Gees and his brothers, Andy Gibb. May he, Maurice, and Andy rest in peace.

I liked the early ballads best. I could attend one of his solo concerts in Berlin. His voice was incredible. It was a pity that he appeared with a huge orchestra and I had the feeling he used all his strength to sing to sing against it because it was incredibly loud. The last album when Maurice was still alive is wonderful.
I grew up in Massachusetts. My permanent residence has been elsewhere since I graduated high school but I have returned there several times a year for the past half century. I have lost count of the number of times the BeeGees have provided the theme music for me "Going back to Massachusetts" to see friends and family. RIP Robin.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories on this awesome band! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
Not the best looking guy, but his confidence overcame that, and his voice.

One of the most important voices in history.
RIP ♥
This is what happens when parents get involved in their children's lives. I so loved the Bee Gees. ❤❤ Great video. Thank you. New sub.
With all the autotuned randos in music nowadays, I'd say no one has a voice that can even hold a candle to Robin's.
I disagree. 😊
I was a huge Bee Gees fan in the sixties and from "WORLD" onwards bought practically all their singles ending with DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER to which Robin did not contribute. His singing, however, was truly wonderful on classics such as MASSACHUSETTS, I STARTED A JOKE, I'VE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU. His high tenor was devastating at the end of LET THERE BE LOVE (from the IDEA-ALBUM), ODESSA and LAMPLIGHT (the great B-side to FIRST OF MAY). Solo his SAVED BY THE BELL was wonderful and so was the great lost album SING SLOWLY SISTERS! A great talent indeed!
Thank you for watching! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
Non possiamo criticare nessuno purché non sappiamo nulla di come sono andate le cose fra di loro...quello che so io è che sono stati dei cantanti stupendi meravigliose voci di tutti i tempi e io li porto nel cuore...specialmente Robin che era ed è sempre il migliore
I think Barry’s the best. 😉
If those boys had stayed in Australia believe me the world would never have known them. Thats exactly what my father said decades ago when we first saw them on Australian television. Barry was a very young teenager, and the two twins were only 12 years old. He recognised their amazing talent immediately and just as quickly said they won't make it if they stay here.
Awesome insight! Thank you for watching! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!

The relatively obscure album “idea“ by the Bee Gees, was the soundtrack of my tour in Vietnam. The song 'I’m going to join the Air Force today' kept going through my head while wading through the Mekong Delta as an army grunt.

I saw Robin Gibb performed solo in Singapore in the early 2000s. He said he would return and perform with his brothers, but sadly that never came to pass.
21 Jan 2025
(Fellow) Singaporean here. My recollection/perspective of that occasion please : the music correspondent for The Straits Times who covered the event (I have the news report somewhere among the heap of collected articles in my "Rock/Pop file") was none too thrilled with Robin's outing that evening, chief reason being his almost statue-like, stationary posture throughout his set, with none of the showmanship antics usually associated with pop/rock artistes. Granted he was never much of a dancer ("has two left legs" as one commenter humorously teased in a different video some time ago) but still....
Also, Maurice had passed on by this time. Robin sensed the passive mood of the audience and tried to rescue the moment by declaring that he hoped to have Barry along in a future concert date. But even then, instinctively and dismally, I was not optimistic. In 1967, the Brothers Gibb first and only concert at the now-demolished National Theatre (River Valley Road) left a bad taste in the band's mouth because of our government's anti-long hair policy then. All male artistes had to comply and the Bee Gees were not excused, having to trim their tresses (I'm not sure the promoter made it clear to them before the contract was signed). Since then of course the ruling on long hair has been scrapped and that's why so many international pop acts/artistes see Singapore differently now. I sense that Barry however still harbours residual pain from 1967.
In later years I attended Cliff Richard/Leif Garrett/Air Supply concerts here in Singapore and their stagemanship was quite the thing (Poor Garrett had to ignore "the rows and rows of empty seats" and carried on his wildly endearing dance routines, the true professional he was. The concert promoter really lost a fortune that evening).
All this coming from a lifelong Bee Gees fan. Gracias.
@michaelgeraldhong5894 thanks for sharing your thoughts and recollections. Much appreciated 👏

You can’t compare the brothers, they each have their own sound or they would not be BEE GEEs😊
Thank you for watching! The Andy Gibb video is live, looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
One of the most distinct voices in pop music
I love you Robin
He was my first crush at my age of 12
I'd forgotten they did some of these hits. These men were geniuses.

I’m Irish and here in Ireland we had our kinda superstar called Joe Dolan who had that pitch and incredible voice like him although perhaps not as versatile
Yes I agree, they’d never have had the success they achieved staying in Australia, there just wasn’t the potential in popular music there
Just heard Joe Dolan. Fantastic singer
What a blessing! I grew up with them!!!
Started joke saved by bell also rings around moon love all of robing songs mo as well barry got all the praise but not them all beegees songs had me saved me time and time agne miss them so much xx❤❤❤❤❤
