"First of May" is also a great song. The banter between Lulu and Tom Jones makes this fantastic! I'm going to see if someone has uploaded the entire show.
I first listened Robin's a started a joke in 1969 when I was 17 now I am 71 ,the everlasting melody is still as vivid as before.. Thank U the Gibbs brothers.. Ur songs have enriched my life all these years
Barry Gibb says in the Bee Gees documentary that he would give up all the group's hits if he could just have his brothers Robin and Maurice back. Well, Barry, your brothers and you are immortal because of those hits, which only the Bee Gees could have delivered so beautifully! God bless you three--and Andy too.
"We don't say goodbye" from their best ever song "Immortality" as so aptly sung by Celine Dion in a tearjerker video production before their losses with the exception of Andy. RIP Maurice, Robin and René. Truer words never spoken.
They wrote some of the most beautiful music ever and carried those songs with three of the most uniquely beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. I love these guys dearly. Don’t know where all that sadness came from..
THE BEE GEES ARE STILL IN MY HEART FOREVER BARRY KNOWS ME WE MET IN 1977 WHEN I WAS 14 AND HE AND I DATED WE WERE EATING OUT AT DIFFERENT RESTURANTS WE HAD FUN EATING TOGETHER

Really absolutely awful are you deaf he looks and sounds ridiculous are you mental he is absolutely awful the only way they're ever going to shut up is when there dead oh that's happened thank God bloody awfull freeks
I'm a big big fan of Robin, I started a joke is one of my favorite songs of them since childhood! I'm 58 now, this song still sounds as beautiful as yesterday & brings back so many memories.
These were beautiful and touching songs. Simple, melodic, lovely. The hair, the style, all 1960’s, so that does not matter to the lens of time looking backward. What does is their incredible talent and harmonies that was such a gift to all of them, and to us all so many years later.
Robin’s beautiful wobbling voice strangles my heart and shakes the tears out with every wavering shake of his vibrato. Never been another singer quite like him.
Barry Gibb, Tom Jones and Cliff Richards the only 3 male singers who sound as good now as they did when they were younger. (Robin and Maurice if still with us, I have no doubt would be in the same category also).
Robin Gibb your voice is amazing. It always melt my heart and soul. We won't forget you and your brothers. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace beside our Heavenly Father. 🙏
For those who don't know Maurice Gibb was married to Lulu for four years from 1969 - 1973. Hence the laughter whenever she mentions his name to Tom Jones at the beginning.
My brother Phil and myself fell into the job of a lifetime, full time proprieters for the summer of 1975 at Wells Street Beach on the southern tip of Lake Michigan on the east border of Gary Indiana , what a summer. We had to wake up early to bury the dead alewives before the crowds came and I would put 10$ of quarters in the juke box and play this song over and over and over ........😢
@@TheBrownlj See here you are again, not accepting other people's preferences. Maybe it's you that should just scroll past positive comments about anyone except Barry, I'm certain he doesn't need you or anyone else disrespecting his beloved brothers.
@lindajames978 didn't say anything negative about Robin at all just said it was my least favourite song. It's your problem how you interpret that, not mine.
We owe a lot to the Brothers Gibb, we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for us to listen to their Songs and Music. God bless all the Brothers Gibb. Perhaps we will meet at Heavens Door. Peter Keane.
*Boomer here: I sincerely hope Gen Z takes away one big lesson from this song. No machine, no computer, no bot will ever top human talent, passion, and creativity. Machines and computers, they can do many things humans can't do. But not the arts, not [real] music. Never lose real music. In a way, you already have. Rap isn't music, it's talking. 60s, 70s, and 80s... that was real music. It changes your mood, your mind, and your thinking. Never give up real music, nothing replaces it.*
Being that I was born mid 50's I know what you're saying but I'll be honest, I just love music. It's subjective imo. Nirvana, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Elvis, Jackson 5 (RIP Michael) Coolio (gangster paradise*) Nat KIng Cole, Tchaikovsky, Amy Winehouse etc etc. I appreciate that there are Artists for all my moods, mind & thinking.
Another boomer here (81 years young). I agree. I loved Elvis, Nat King Cole, etc., when I was young, but the BeeGees are my all-time favorite for their genius songwriting and beautiful harmonizing voices. The music of the 70s was especially phenomenal, with Foreigner, Journey and far too many more groups and singers to name. Also the 80s. No computers, no autotune, just passionate songwriting and pure instrumental and vocal talent.
I started a joke which started the whole world crying But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no I started to cry which started the whole world laughing Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me Oh no that the joke was on me
We are still listening to their beautiful songs in 2024 The Bee Gees forever We Love those men all three sang so beautifully. We will always be listening to their songs.
At least Mo got some attention here.... diligently and beautifully playing the piano out of the spotlight. Thx Lulu. They were fantastic for 5+ decades. ❤ Always missed.
he was my favourite singer. I loved the Bee Gees. I was very sad to hear he had died. Seemed such a gente soul. A very beautiful song. It tells a lot about sensitivity.
lyrics I started a joke Which started the whole world crying But I didn't see That the joke was on me, oh no I started to cry Which started the whole world laughing Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the skies Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Til I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the skies Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Til I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah That the joke was on me, oh no That the joke was on me Oh, no, no, no
I started a joke, me lembro de Robin bem jovem cantando essa música na tv (já era a cores) e eu sentia tristeza . Na época era só uma menina e não entendia nada, nem sabia direito quem era os Bee Gees Mas sempre que eu ouvia ou assistia na TV ficava triste. Mas lá no fundo já amava Robin Gibb e não sabia. ❤️ Eu amo Robin Gibb como pessoa e ser humano que foi. Tenho muito respeito por ele e sua família, esposa e filhos. Eu o amo por que ele foi um guerreiro em tudo que fez e lutou muito contra a doença no final da sua vida. Um exemplo de pessoa. Amo Robin Gibb mesmo não estando mais aqui. ❤️
Who is still listening to this in 2024 ? I am, its a classic ❤
"First of May" is also a great song. The banter between Lulu and Tom Jones makes this fantastic! I'm going to see if someone has uploaded the entire show.

It’s been a wild ride
the magic of this song can never be forgotten

There will never be a group like the Bee Gees. again. They were, and still are, the best of the best, then, now, and forever
U are so correct never will such a group exist

I never get tired of listening to Robin sing lead vocals. Such a beautiful voice.
Indubitably !
Was Robin their lead singer in the 60's ? Then Barry in the 70's ?
@@ayf1983 Barry and Robin were both Lead singers. It seems like Barry sung the majority of the songs, but Robin sang some great ones.
@@ayf1983it was always the frontman who wrote the Song. Barry wrote most of the songs.
As simple as it sounds, Ive always thought the song "I've started a joke" is one of the most beautiful songs ever
Agree
Robin's voice is pure magic.
I totally agree !!
There's nothing magic about vibrato.
Really absolutely awful are you deaf he looks and sounds ridiculous are you mental he is absolutely awful the only way they're ever going to shut up is when there dead oh that's happened thank God bloody awfull freeks
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I’m one of those people 👍
I'm here too.
So am I
Amo amo amo❤❤Robin Robin Robin❤❤
Yes me in the Netherlands
I Started A Joke is such a sad song. I love it though. And Robin’s voice is so beautiful.

Robin has the best voice.
Indeed.
A voice loss to the world

Oh what a magnificent group with the most unforgettable songs. I'm here in August 2024, in , Cape Town, still with tears at these guys!!
All their performances were fantastic. These songs though, bring tears to the eyes.......so soulful.😥💞
Vozes divinas, inequeciveis, únicos! Ícones da música mundial ! Amo BEE GEES !! Sou dessa geração feliz !!
Eu também sou dessa magnífica geração!
NOSSA GERAÇÃO, TEVE O PRIVILÉGIO DE VIVER O MELHOR DAS CANÇÕES MARAVILHOSAS, ONDE NÃO TINHAMOS LUXO, MAIS ÉRAMOS FELIZES
Disagree, to pretty for me, Robin stole my heart back in 1967 still has it today 2024
The first bee gee song I ever heard was robin singing Massachusetts.
It blew me away - and I’ve been a fan of this group ever since.
Barry Gibb the only one living in 2023?! B Gees are and were of the greatest group! .❤️🌺🌺🌺❤️
Colin Petersen?
Maravilhosos!

Wobbling is actually called vibrato.
@@edthomas8486 yes, indeed.. that is why I said “with every wavering shake of his vibrato”
I like the way he does Massachusetts too. Think it is my favorite of his.
As with the Beatles, each had a unique vocal quality to add to their distinctive group sound.
Robin's voice was unique and beautiful 😍
I adored Robin when I was a teenager. Im 63 now, and that teenage flame still burns. Lovely man, lovely voice.
Except for that hairstyle, what was he thinking?😮😮
😅😅😅😅 @@stacyward4309
Keep those lovely memories dear.
Barry was the most attractive to the female audience but Robins voice was by far superior. His vocals are unforgettable.
@Frances Hunt 100%
Nope on both fronts
Looks and vocal talent are subjective !😊😊
Their voices together were everything.
@joycheek6756 no he wasn't , lots of us ladies prefer Robin and not just for his voice.
Barry Gibb, Tom Jones and Cliff Richards the only 3 male singers who sound as good now as they did when they were younger. (Robin and Maurice if still with us, I have no doubt would be in the same category also).
Paul Rogers sounds pretty damn good.
Paul Mc Cartney
No one has ever been able to sing like Robin. He was so gifted.
So is Barry.
Sheep can 🐏🐑
Masters at songwriting! Beautiful voices! Maurice, kudos to your musicianship! Long live the Bee Gees!!
Robin Gibbs voice is haunting my soul ....in a beautiful way....
RIP Robin such an angelic voice, truly missed 2023 ❤
Robin Gibb your voice is amazing. It always melt my heart and soul. We won't forget you and your brothers. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace beside our Heavenly Father. 🙏
Two songs that always brings tears at the end.
1st time I heard "started a joke', I burst into tears... emotional words & music
Bee Gees absolut grandios.
Ich bin 76 Jahre und höre sie jeden Tag. Vielen Dank.
Barry and Robin had their gifts but Mo had his own gifts and I loved his solos which really showed his true talent.
For those who don't know Maurice Gibb was married to Lulu for four years from 1969 - 1973. Hence the laughter whenever she mentions his name to Tom Jones at the beginning.
Most of the under-40s don’t know who Lulu is… they’re lucky if they know Tom Jones.
Robin's voice was extraordinary!!

OMG! Hauntingly beautiful. Just amazing. Tears were welling up by the end of the second song. Just etherial.
So much talent, such great loss when they left us. What more songs may have come out of these sweet young brothers,,,, only God will know.
I started a joke. My favorite Bee Gees song. Robin Gibb is a marvelous singer. Totally awesome.
Have you heard Faith No More's cover? It's fantastic.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this wonderful video with us. What a treat!
Yes I agree
The best song ever, thanks for this poem made song. This wonderful voice only Robin Gibb the best thanks Beeges.
Unbelievable these voices. They were unbelievable artists. Sometimes I think better then The Beatles 😢😮
Of course they were better than the Beatles !! No comparison whatsoever!!
Well, they sure beat the Beatles on longevity!
Surely you're not serious
The Bee Gees could sing Beatles songs, but the Beatles could not sing The Bee Gees
Now how about legendary status
I adour the bee gees , Robin had such an angelic voice ❤
Robin's voice was the best ....unique
Hi Rhonda 💐💐
I love the brothers,Robin was and still is my favorite I love his voice. They always sounded wonderful together.❤❤❤
I am 68 and this music takes me back to my childhood days, Such talent with no auto tune equipment
1st June 2024, still enjoying listening to The Bee Gees. Love from Malaysia.
Yes
We,not the small group,the world is still with tears every time we meet them.
😭😭😭❤❤❤🇭🇲🇭🇲
Robin's voice though...omg
Words of this world can not truly define the Bee Gees!
Barry didn't sound good here. Robin always sounds Heavenly. Maurice played 🎹 Great along with his good looks
Incredibil those times when decency counts. So long ago. A different world. Yea Bee Gees
I saw this when it originally aired. It's when I fell in love with the BeeGees.
I miss robin so so much when he died I cried for two days he is my hero trust me.

Hi Kaya💐💐💐
Robin's mother, a voice teacher, said that he sang like an Angel.
Did you hear the compliment she paid to Barry?
I thank they who bring us back our groups and TIMES!! This is GLORIOUS! THANK YOU!!!

lyrics
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I'd said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I'd said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah
That the joke was on me, oh no
That the joke was on me
Oh, no, no, no
Thank you

I never realized Robin’s voice was so good…
I love Bee Gees forever
The Bee Gees had more hits from their beginning on.. Never to be duplicated.. They changed our world, through their music. Beautiful ❤
I wish Robin and Maurice had had more opportunities to shine.❤
They had plenty of opportunities!
The Brothers Gibb will go on forever.
I realy like this song
I think The Bee Gees' songs have inspired a lot of music and fashion.
Me too
I like the sixties Beegees far more than the seventies disco Beegees.
My life's sound track is the Bee Gees and Elton John. I count myself blessed to have lived alongside such artists and composers.
1969 was the year Lulu and Maurice married. Hence her dreamy-eyed introduction
And about the time all the arguments started within the band and they started to go their own ways
Still listening. Timeless music.
Love these songs so much. Timeless songs & memories.
Eles são únicos incríveis muito marcante pra todos nós 🌟🌟🌟🌟🇧🇷
Grande sucesso e música lindíssima
