@jackcoberly2705: This is NOT "LIVE", and which is more than obvious, seeing and hearing how the music and vocals fade out at the abrupt end of this video. It's the originally released recording studio version synched over them performing the song for the song's "official video".

"The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix: Barry on falsetto lead three times falsetto high harmony three times falsetto low harmony three times Barry on natural voice lead three times high harmony three times low harmony three times Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times high harmony three times low harmony three times"
This is why our generation doesn’t understand the music today, because our music was about love and losing love ❤️ the music today is about hate and how much money and drugs you have. I’m 71 years old love how your generation loves our music! We were truly blessed!
The Bee Gees: like Steve Perry/Stevie Wonder/Elton John/Carpenters etc. etc.) crossed generational boundaries. Boundaries that today's music doesn't seem to do. More than once my mother ejected a CD put it in her purse saying, "Don't know who this is. But it's mine now." & No it wasn't theft, it was my way of introducing my mother to new artists.
@@Bigfield47 I’ve been watching midnight special on RUclips. I watched it live when it was new. The very first one had John Denver as the host. First song sang, Country Roads. It was their voices. No audio or tweeking the voices. Yes. We are blessed to have grown up when we did.
Tragic..seems that everyone these days thinks the Beegees are these three guys who sprang out of nowhere to appear in the 70s,perform a handful of disco songs(in falsetto),then drop out of the music scene.
@@karenj3611 yeah that is what my husband thought too. he refused to listen to them anymore after they went disco. He called them sell outs. but I loved the bee gees and forced him to listen to them once in a while. LOL
I first heard that song while watching a documentary about them and the deaths of at least one of the brothers and that song haunts me. The way each brother sing, and another takes on the line, and the third one finishes the lyric. Its stunning to listen to.
I’m proud to have been a “Boomer “ also. But like paulasecrist1049 said go down the rabbit hole about The Bee Gees. Bc Barry the oldest and lead singer didn’t sing falsetto at first. Then one time he started singing in falsetto and the rest is history! They’re amazing!
Barry Introducing a falsetto into his vocals indicated the differing influences the Gibb brothers were beginning to take on board after moving from the UK to Miami in 1975. It was certainly no accident or recording studio mishap, but rather some form of miracle or twist of fate. Barry later revealed years after their astronomical success that his unique vocal change came to him "in a dream".
Today, 9/1/24, Barry Gibb, the lead, turned 78 years old and he also celebrated his 54th wedding anniversary with his wife Linda. This song was released in 1979.
@spudjohnsonn8122 you might be thinking about How Deep is your love? That song was released before Saturday Night Fever came out. But it’s all good! They had so many hits during this time that it was unreal!!!👌🏾
The Bee Gees were fantastic. Their voices like honey!! It’s to bag that their younger brother didn’t stay with them. Sad they are gone! And wish Barry lots of love and health. ❤❤❤❤😢😢❤❤❤❤
They had already released the Spirits Having Flown LP with this song on it before they decided to donate the proceeds of the song to UNICEF. The song was written by all 3 brothers.
They wrote hits for Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and Celine Dion. Just to name a few. Go down the BeeGee’s rabbit hole-you won’t be disappointed.
Islands in the stream, #1 duet with Kenny Rogers. At the time I believe it became the best selling Country song of all time. Might've been best selling Country duet song, not sure which.
Barry was the primary writer behind hits written for others. He also sang backing vocals on their albums, as well as produced them with Albhy Galuten & Karl Richardson.
@@davida6603Islands in the Stream was offered to Kenny Rogers, Dolly was Kenny's idea. I think Barry wrote it with Diana Ross in mind, and she turned it down. I could be wrong here but I think so.
Barry is the oldest and the lead singer. Robin and Maurice were fraternal twins. When the twins were 5 years old, their mother thought the boys were listening to the radio. She opened their bedroom door to find her sons singing in perfect harmony. You should watch the documentary on the Bee Gees. Very interesting and fascinating!
You forgot to educate this man onthe youngest gibb..ANDY GIBB...although he wasn't part of the beegees group he had an awesome solo career and produced hit after hit
I agree. But give Hanson a listen. Put Mmmmbop right out of your mind. Listen to the adult brothers who got a lot of their inspiration from the Brothers Gibb!!
@@nancyanne1402 Absolutely and all these jealous people on here that hate him know it, too. They try to make him out to be some kind of monster to Robin and to a lesser extent Mo. They want to change history and rewrite it to where Robin was the most popular and sexy and gorgeous. I'm sorry but he just wasn't.. Of course he had a lot of fans and so did Mo. Everyone loved them all but Barry was the main attraction. I watched it in real time. I bought all those Tiger Beat magazines and watched them on television and talked to all my girl friends about them and it was always all about Barry.
Barry Manilow has had 28 top 10 hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart. His other chart achievements include: 13 number one hits, 51 Top 40 singles, and 36 top 20 hits. I thought it would have been more.
As artists, in the USA the Bee Gees have had twenty-nine Top 40 hits, fifteen Top 10's and nine number ones. No gaurantee these numbers are accurate just quick searches. Fun
Perfection. Music died with the end of the 20th Century as far as I’m concerned. Nothing produced today will ever touch the wealth of talent we enjoyed over decades.
@@barbarahearron4150I know what you mean, but that's not what the op was meaning. New music in the mainstream has completely lost the plot post 2000. It's mostly trash. Younger folk are dis overing the music from the 70s and 80s, and many are loving. My son, age 20, says the older music is popular with his friends and in clubs... e.g. ABBA
Could not agree more with you on his. I'm gen X, 1971. ” Music” now, is not music. We bought records and tickets, because of the music and singers. Now it's lip sinc, half naked, drugs, hate, faul language,looks and no quality at all oh and auto tune. If we went to a concert and the artist didn't deliver, well boooooooo and sales would drop like a stone.
Sadly the performance and music isn't the same as our days of music. The music today is auto tune and alot of cussing, rude, death. The music being made can't compare. Songs written have meaning, a story, uplifting, aspiration, happy, fun. None of that in music today. America pie, Time in a bottle. To Much Heaven. Any of the new music close?
My granddaughter asks me to make playlists for her. Then she tells me which ones she liked best. She asks me about the bands, loves when I tell her about concerts I went to and she has her friends listening to her grandparent's music at just 12 years old. She hates modern music.
@@guichogf5636You are so lucky that she's interested in "our" music. I'm a boomer and trying my best to expose my grandkids to songs I think they'd like. It's become my mission, lol
Barry Gibb is the man with a thousand voices. He has an incredible vocal range and he can change his voice to fit the song. His voice has a lot of versatility in it. He can sing with anyone and sound good.😊😊😊
A 4 th brother , Andy , had his own successful solo career . A reaction to Robin singing his solo , I Started a Joke ......is well worth the time .....has been much reacted to online .
And there was briefly another member. At one point they had a disagreement and one of the twins left the group. While he was gone he was replaced by their older sister.
I loved the Bee Gees in general. However, it made me sad that after the 60s Barry took the lead away from Robin. Robin's voice just had more emotion to it. I would cry (in a good way) when I listened to Robin sing. Of all their hits, my favorites were when you could clearly hear Robin's voice.
@@Shasha-yg1mmIn the 60s, Robin wasn't the lead singer, just sang more leads. And Barry didn't take anything away from anyone, especially when they started to write just for Barry's new falsetto, because they were topping the charts & making big bucks!!
@@kthor I was a kid in the 60s. I watched the Bee Gees on dance shows. I would watch Robin sing the lead on those songs. Then later Barry took over singing the lead. If they wrote songs for his falsetto then, hello, they wrote them intending for Barry to sing lead. Robin didn't sing falsetto and Maurice always sang backup. I also read an article about how there was tension between the brothers and the article indicated that a big part of the tension between them was because Robin wanted to sing lead on some of the songs, but big brother Barry insisted on taking the lead. They were all good singers, I just liked Robin's voice and vibrato more. So I wish Robin had been given more opportunities to sing lead. RIP Robin and Maurice❣️💖
@@Shasha-yg1mm I'm quite familiar with their 60s music, which most of it was shared lead between Barry & Robin. I believe Robin sang lead on 12 songs, which isn't most of the 60s. Also remember, Robin wanted to continue writing songs for the falsetto more than Barry or Mo, so what's that tell ya? So no, Barry didn't "insist on taking the lead", when Robin wanted him to, literally more than anyone. Also Barry's voice was much more versatile than Robin's vibrato, which didn't work on many songs. He had way too much warble going on to be commercially successful.😵💫😵💫😵💫
In the song, "How Deep Is Your Love", from 1977, you can hear more of Barry's regular voice. But if you really want to hear Barry roar, listen to/watch him LIVE on the Midnight Special from 1975 when they sing "Nights On Broadway." He really uses his chest voice there, and Robin has a small but great solo part which showcases his vibrato, and Maurice sings falsetto towards the end (Barry did the falsetto in the studio version, but Maurice does it in the live performance so that Barry can continue in his regular voice). That clip is available on RUclips. But be sure to also check out their very last song & video from 2001 called "This Is Where I Came In". It is quite different from anything else they ever did and would have been right at home on a progressive rock station from that time. Maurice died shortly thereafter, so the Bee Gees came to an end, and then Robin died a few years later, leaving Barry, who was the older of all three, the only remaining Bee Gee.
I am extremely surprised you haven't heard of The Bee Gees songs. I am a few years older than you but I grew up listening to The Bee Gees and to lovely Andy.They were the gods in the music industry for decades. Bigger than any group! No one, I mean no one can harmonize like the brothers Gibb. They made the world a happy place with their songs. Love them forever! ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes it’s all because of what your parents and older siblings, and your friends listened to. I have 2 older siblings with very different tastes in music, plus parents who loved country and rock (Elvis kind of rock). I have very eclectic tastes in music. Be it Bach or Willie and the boys, if the music is good, I like it. So Rock on, Seb, you are doing the world a great service.
I'm Aussie from Queensland. Brisbane. Redcliffe was where the 3 boy's the Gibb family grew up. We go to Redcliffe all the time and go threw their famous memorial on the bee gees and their whole history all the time in Redcliffe. My oldest Sister went to their Redcliffe School and My Sister was Barry's GIRLFRIEND and Then the boy's went to America. How's that. Love Always.🎼💖🎼
I cannot tell you how much pleasure I get from seeing the younger generation in awe of the talent of the bee gees, I grew up listening to this magnificent group. There is no group with the same calibre RIP Maurice and Robin I miss you so 🌹🙏
When you watch Queen Live Aid the person stage left handling microphones also demonstrate not only did we wear them way too tight, we cut them off way too short.
Lots of us older people are commenting. These brothers were child stars on Australian television when I was a little girl. Maurice was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. RIP twins.
Yes, it was real 6:32. He was known for it. He was naturally packing them tight jeans back in the day. Look for other Bee Gee videos. BTW, that was the style back then
So true. There accomplishments are even greater when I discovered that they could not read or write musical notes. Absolutely amazing! I still listen to them every day. Makes me smile.
Note: They were LIVE in front of an orchestra. No auto-tune. Perfection in vocals. Their talent was off the charts. Look up the number of songs they wrote. Incredible.
Before the disco Bee Gees, they had a string of beautiful love songs in the 1960s and 1970s. Everyone thinks The Bee Gees came to fame during the disco era, not true. They had hit songs such as Lonely Days, Lonely Nights, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Massachusetts, Words, Jive Talkin’, To Love Somebody, Nights on Broadway, I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You, I Started a Joke, and New York Mining Disaster 1941. All memorable songs with that great Bee Gees harmony. Robin, with the longer hair, usually sang the tenor part, Maurice the lowest part, and Barry usually the main melody line, although Robin did some solo numbers. They were popular BEFORE disco…and that’s a fact.
I'm a boomer and I loved their music. The Bee Gees were actually 4 singing brothers. Andy, the youngest, sang separately from the other 3 and he died early but he had a couple of hits. The twins, who provided harmony, died a few years apart but Barry (the one in the middle with the high voice) is still alive. They have so many hits you should check out their song lists. From Saturday Night Fever alone you got a ton of hits.
@@vickiewallace415 I'm 69. A year younger than John Travolta. We did a lot of dancing (especially the Hustle), drinking, and flirting, to the music. Great times.
Hello, "Staying Alive" is a very life-saving song--LITERALLY. I live in Seattle, Washington state. Our medic One, fire department, and Red Cross promote citizen CPR. They found that when students practice chest compressions to the BeeGees "Staying Alive", it is the right rhythm for the heart to resuscitate a person having a heart attack. Seattle is the best place to have a heart attack, since so many plain citizens have learned CPR.
The Bee Gees started in 1958. Barry, the brother in the middle, is the last Bee Gee. Maurice, the brother with the beard, died in 2003. After that the Bee Gees as a group stopped recording and touring because without Maurice they didn't want to go on. At that time the only people to sell more albums than the Bee Gees were Paul McCartney and Elvis. Barry produced and wrote hits for other artists. Robin, the brother on Barry's right, died in 2012. I hope you will dive into the rabbit whole with these guys. They were so much more than disco and falsetto!
Please do not forget the youngest Brother Gibb, Andy. We lost him around 1989 (?). He was a real sweetheart. He sang some with his brothers, but also had a solo career. Shadow Dancing? Remember? Blessings to the Gibb family. 🙏🙏
There is something special about siblings who sing together. Because they have similar speech patterns their voices and harmonies blend in ways that don’t happen in regular singing groups. It’s magical.
Boomer here. Yes! More Bee Gees - you will be surprised by how many sounds they have. We may enlighten, as you said, but YOU are keeping the music alive! Thank you. Nights on Broadway, Love You Inside Out, Tragedy, Alone just to name a few......
My mom had their record. I grew up listening to their beautiful music. I love them. I hope the younger generation is open to listening to the music of the 70's and 80's. It was the best. Motown, The Four Seasons, the 1960s and original rock and roll were great too .💖
The Bee Gees were prolific song writers & wrote many hits for other artists as well as for themselves. They had a younger brother who had a career of his own, but he died quite young as he got into drugs. The 3 brothers began singing together as children & appeared on TV shows. The only brother still alive is Barry, the one in the middle on this one. Thanks so much 😊🙏💞
They wrote over 1,000 songs, the dad asked how, Barry said they only ever put emotions to music. Try Jive Talking. When they recorded Nights on Broadway is when they discovered Falsetto. Being brothers they competed on that. Barry could continue doing his for longer, and had the unusual talent of adding vibrato to it. From then he became the main frontman. Each brother took turns at lead singing. Robin in I started a Joke and Massachussets. Can't remember Mo's leads just now. He did the first of May with his ex, Lulu, deep voice. Look for words. Barry wrote the Grease theme song. They started in the 60's.
Mo - Closer than close, Hold her in your hand, Omega man, Above and beyond, Man in the middle just to name a few. Robin - Heart like mine, Ellan Vannin, Holiday, When he's gone, And the sun will shine, I can't see nobody, Fallen angel, She keeps on coming, Bodyguard, Black Diamond, Don't fall in love with me, Tokyo Nights, Lamplight, dozens of leads plus solo songs.
Barry - Words, To Love Somebody, In the Morning, First of May, Don't Forget to Remember, Israel, Alive, Dogs, I Can't Let You Go, Songbird, Subway, Nothing Could be Good, Be Who You Are, Someone Belonging to Someone, Live or Die, The Only Love, Happy Ever After, I Could Not Love You More....plus a couple hundred more.♥️
hey kathleen and others, when you put ' in the song titles front and end, it will make people know what you're talking about, just fyi, sorry to interrupt.
Barry Gibb standing there with his great hair (head and chest), tight jeans, singing with his hands in his pockets, so easy. And Robin and Maurice easy as well. And seriously live orchestra.
Their pre disco music is amazing! I grew up with The Bee Gees and their little brother Andy Gibb! Such amazing music and artists! I am loving that you are loving it! I am 61 and this is my musical heaven!
This song has probably melted more girls' hearts than any other in recorded history. The Bee Gees' mastery of falsetto, harmony, and vibrato is unparalleled, matchless and timeless. Hardly anyone ever gives them recognition for their writing and musicianship. Too bad because they did everything very well.
The Bee Gee’s were the most talented group I can recall. Barry wrote massive songs for so many stars. Talent in his DNA. It would be one of the top things on my bucket list to hear him sing, or just to meet him. I was raising kids when his band was the bomb, so I never got the chance to go see them.
3 guys and one mic, in a Live Performance, and No Auto Tune!! all 3 have wonderful voices, each in their own right, and their harmonies were brilliant and totally in-sync and pitch perfect. No one does this any more. And songs of romance from the 60's and 70's cannot be duplicated today. Us gals were serenated by these guys, Franki Valli, Righteous Brothers, The Association, Sinatra, and so many others!
Im 64 and grew up on this music. They also wrote many songs for many artists. Their impact in music was just phenomenal and you don't hear artists like this anymore. These guys are just pure talent and these days in music that is lacking.
I'm a genX, born in 1967 and grew up with most of this music that you're listening to. The 70s were an awesome and also a horrible time to grow up, but musically it was THE BEST!! I was the youngest and was exposed to all my older sibling's music. I am super eclectic, music-wise, and love everything from 60's British Invasion to Moody Blues to Elton to Depeche Mode and just about everything in-between, including the hard stuff. In the 80s, when I was in high school, we had all that great "new wave" music that I still adore. So glad you don't fake hearing things for the first time. Love your channel!
Barry in the middle singing lead has the high falsetto voice. Robin on Barrys right and Maurice on his left sang harmony. I am a Boomer raise in the sixties grew up with the Bee Gees and I can honestly say they dont make music like that anymore. Anyone who grew up listening to the Bee Gees were truly blessed.❤❤
Hell yes! More Bee Gees please! How Deep is your Love, More than a Woman, Jive Talking, Love You inside and out, Love so Right, Fanny be tender with my love...that's just a few from the 70s. They had hits in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. Until Maurice sadly died unexpectedly in 2003. They wrote not only all their own songs but huge hits for others as well. Top reaction. Lovely to see the young embrace real heart in music.
"There is going to be a resurrection" so they'll be awakened from the sleep of Dea h and hey are in and come home again, with a second chance at life. That being the case I'm hoping to hear from those wonderful voices again!
They were huge, huge, huge back in the day. And not only did they write and sing hit songs for themselves, but they also did so for other artists, like Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, and more.
I loved your reaction to this video! I just wanted to tell you about they're youngest brother Andy Gibb! I was 12 back in the 1970's, when my Step-dad bought me Andy's album for my birthday! I still love listening to him and his brother's as well! Thank you for a blast from my past☆
Love love love the BeeGees!!! Main Course is their best album in my opinion ❣️❣️❣️🎶🎵🎸🤩💐 I’ve been listening to them since the early seventies!!! I loved them before Saturday Night Fever!!!
The Bee Gees were one of the most prolific songwriters in music. Many of their songs were done by other artists. As a Boomer, I can't say how great our music was!❤
It’s not live, this is a recording. The song has 27 vocal tracks (18 by Barry and 9 by the other 2 brothers, so obviously impossible to reproduce it live.
WTF is wrong with disco?? I love disco! Makes me feel good and feel like moving! Plus is happy music! WTF is wrong with people who don't like music that makes others feel good?
I'm 70 years old and I still remember the first songs I ever heard on the radio in the late 1950's and the 60's. There were a lot of many great singers and musicians during that time. This is why many of us that our age are bored with the music today. I still listen to some music made today but it's easy to know it's all digitalized with drum beats that all sound the same in many of the songs.
There are videos out there were Barry talks about how the falsetto came out. He's the only one left. 65 yo woman here. Love these guys and their interviews. They wrote the music for staying alive, the movie.
I was born in 1964. The music of the seventies and eighties will never go out of style
1967 here. I can't count the number of times I slow danced/slow skated to this song!
I am also 60 and agree 100%
That's because real talent never goes out of style!
Born 1955
1964 here too! Lately I’ve been going back to the music of the 70’s.

This was a charity single that Barry wrote. They received no royalties from this song. It all went to the charity.
Yep! And there was no auto tune back then. Just three guys, one vocal mike, full orchestra and pure talent!
They had already released the Spirits Having Flown LP with this song on it before they decided to donate the proceeds of the song to UNICEF.

These guys were some of the best songwriters ever.
They wrote hits for Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and Celine Dion. Just to name a few. Go down the BeeGee’s rabbit hole-you won’t be disappointed.
What did they write for Dolly if you don't mind me asking? That is one hell of an accolade to write for lovely Dolly 😁😁
Islands in the stream, #1 duet with Kenny Rogers. At the time I believe it became the best selling Country song of all time. Might've been best selling Country duet song, not sure which.
Barry was the primary writer behind hits written for others. He also sang backing vocals on their albums, as well as produced them with Albhy Galuten & Karl Richardson.
@@davida6603Islands in the Stream was offered to Kenny Rogers, Dolly was Kenny's idea. I think Barry wrote it with Diana Ross in mind, and she turned it down. I could be wrong here but I think so.
In the same class with Bacharach/David, Paul Williams/ Roger Nichols, Dolly Parton and Smokey Robinson.
Barry is the oldest and the lead singer. Robin and Maurice were fraternal twins.
When the twins were 5 years old, their mother thought the boys were listening to the radio. She opened their bedroom door to find her sons singing in perfect harmony.

And this Maurice is pronounced Morris.
Live. No auto tune. No one alive now has this level of talent
I agree. But give Hanson a listen. Put Mmmmbop right out of your mind. Listen to the adult brothers who got a lot of their inspiration from the Brothers Gibb!!
the lead singer of beast in black also sings this way...... give them a listen
Nightwish does..
Austin Brown has this talent.
True. The artist today use Auto tune. How meny can you ask unprepared to sing. Haven't heard of one yet.
I LOVE watching people hear the BeGees for the first time! Us 60 somethings understand- we get it-we were lucky enough to be there we love them!
Barry is the only one left. RIP, Andy, Maurice and Robin.❤😢
Leslee Gibb is still alive. She's the oldest and was part of the group for awhile.
Barry was in the middle,Robin on the left, Maurice on the right
When I've never see or hear her in any of the songs or credits?
@@sue9197 Because she only joined them once or twice when Robin had left the group.
And he was the oldest😢
Barry is the tallest and the oldest and he’s the only one still alive. He’s incredible!!
didn't he just make an album with a mixture of people singing their songs? I think Dolly sang one song on it with him.
@@ridingtheroad185yes. He did their bit songs with a lot of famous people.
I find it so sad that Barry outlived all of his younger brothers 😥
And gorgeous! Don’t forget (even tho Andy looked a lot like him), he was so freaking gorgeous!
@@nancyanne1402 Absolutely and all these jealous people on here that hate him know it, too. They try to make him out to be some kind of monster to Robin and to a lesser extent Mo. They want to change history and rewrite it to where Robin was the most popular and sexy and gorgeous. I'm sorry but he just wasn't.. Of course he had a lot of fans and so did Mo. Everyone loved them all but Barry was the main attraction. I watched it in real time. I bought all those Tiger Beat magazines and watched them on television and talked to all my girl friends about them and it was always all about Barry.
Did you all know they wrote 100 top ten hits for themselves and others!!!! NOBODY else did that.
I think Barry Manilow may have done the same. Maybe Michael Jackson too. But I love the Bee Gees.
Barry Manilow has had 28 top 10 hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart. His other chart achievements include: 13 number one hits, 51 Top 40 singles, and 36 top 20 hits. I thought it would have been more.
Michael Jackson had 30 top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Again surprised this few.
As artists, in the USA the Bee Gees have had twenty-nine Top 40 hits, fifteen Top 10's and nine number ones. No gaurantee these numbers are accurate just quick searches. Fun
Nobody can sing falsetto like Barry Gibbs
I am 84 yrs old and I have been listening to their songs since the late 60’s - early 70 ‘s😊
Even their vibrato is in synch. That's the level of talent these guys gave.
No autotune, real singing… it’s why people my age say there will never be music like the 60-70-80’s plus… 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
No autotune, but 27 layers of vocals, with most of it just Barry!♥️
@@kthor What's wrong with disco? I love Disco!!
@@diana-nn6tz Me too! And nothings wrong with it!
Perfection. Music died with the end of the 20th Century as far as I’m concerned. Nothing produced today will ever touch the wealth of talent we enjoyed over decades.
Music can't die if we keep sharing it. It's one of our jobs as people. We have to pass along the magic, when ever we can.
@@barbarahearron4150I know what you mean, but that's not what the op was meaning. New music in the mainstream has completely lost the plot post 2000. It's mostly trash. Younger folk are dis overing the music from the 70s and 80s, and many are loving. My son, age 20, says the older music is popular with his friends and in clubs... e.g. ABBA
Anthony and the Barry Gilbert is the best looking out of all the three of the brothers
I disagree with you, listen to Hozier and you’ll be amazed.
Could not agree more with you on his. I'm gen X, 1971. ” Music” now, is not music. We bought records and tickets, because of the music and singers. Now it's lip sinc, half naked, drugs, hate, faul language,looks and no quality at all oh and auto tune. If we went to a concert and the artist didn't deliver, well boooooooo and sales would drop like a stone.
These guys have sold over 200 million albums worldwide.
Remember something, that was back in 1979. Real voices, no auto tune.
I'm blown away by how many younger people are tuning into the music of my youth. My teenage daughter is a huge fan of Queen, Bowie, Pink Floyd, ABBA,
Sadly the performance and music isn't the same as our days of music. The music today is auto tune and alot of cussing, rude, death. The music being made can't compare. Songs written have meaning, a story, uplifting, aspiration, happy, fun. None of that in music today. America pie, Time in a bottle. To Much Heaven. Any of the new music close?
My granddaughter asks me to make playlists for her. Then she tells me which ones she liked best. She asks me about the bands, loves when I tell her about concerts I went to and she has her friends listening to her grandparent's music at just 12 years old. She hates modern music.
@@guichogf5636You are so lucky that she's interested in "our" music. I'm a boomer and trying my best to expose my grandkids to songs I think they'd like. It's become my mission, lol
My granddaughter likes queen
Same. My daughter has all of those on her playlist, as well as some classic country
Even without the falsetto, Barry has a beautiful voice.
Barry Gibb is the man with a thousand voices. He has an incredible vocal range and he can change his voice to fit the song. His voice has a lot of versatility in it. He can sing with anyone and sound good.😊😊😊
I love watching people hear them for the first time
A 4 th brother , Andy , had his own successful solo career . A reaction to Robin singing his solo , I Started a Joke ......is well worth the time .....has been much reacted to online .
And there was briefly another member. At one point they had a disagreement and one of the twins left the group. While he was gone he was replaced by their older sister.
Awwww I had the biggest crush on Andy💜✌🏻😎
@@richdiddens4059 - Only for one performance. Lesley didn't want anything to do with show business.
@@Vee1music-lover, me too.
"How Do You Mend a Broken Heart" is another of my favorites. I still have several of their 12" vinyl albums...with no way to play them. 😦
There are those who love the BeeGess and those who lie.
...and if by chance you don't love the BeeGee's, then you are definitely listening to the wrong era, since they reinvented themselves frequently.
I loved the Bee Gees in general. However, it made me sad that after the 60s Barry took the lead away from Robin. Robin's voice just had more emotion to it. I would cry (in a good way) when I listened to Robin sing. Of all their hits, my favorites were when you could clearly hear Robin's voice.
@@Shasha-yg1mmIn the 60s, Robin wasn't the lead singer, just sang more leads. And Barry didn't take anything away from anyone, especially when they started to write just for Barry's new falsetto, because they were topping the charts & making big bucks!!
@@kthor I was a kid in the 60s. I watched the Bee Gees on dance shows. I would watch Robin sing the lead on those songs. Then later Barry took over singing the lead. If they wrote songs for his falsetto then, hello, they wrote them intending for Barry to sing lead. Robin didn't sing falsetto and Maurice always sang backup.
I also read an article about how there was tension between the brothers and the article indicated that a big part of the tension between them was because Robin wanted to sing lead on some of the songs, but big brother Barry insisted on taking the lead. They were all good singers, I just liked Robin's voice and vibrato more. So I wish Robin had been given more opportunities to sing lead. RIP Robin and Maurice❣️💖
@@Shasha-yg1mm I'm quite familiar with their 60s music, which most of it was shared lead between Barry & Robin. I believe Robin sang lead on 12 songs, which isn't most of the 60s.
Also remember, Robin wanted to continue writing songs for the falsetto more than Barry or Mo, so what's that tell ya? So no, Barry didn't "insist on taking the lead", when Robin wanted him to, literally more than anyone. Also Barry's voice was much more versatile than Robin's vibrato, which didn't work on many songs. He had way too much warble going on to be commercially successful.😵💫😵💫😵💫
In the song, "How Deep Is Your Love", from 1977, you can hear more of Barry's regular voice. But if you really want to hear Barry roar, listen to/watch him LIVE on the Midnight Special from 1975 when they sing "Nights On Broadway." He really uses his chest voice there, and Robin has a small but great solo part which showcases his vibrato, and Maurice sings falsetto towards the end (Barry did the falsetto in the studio version, but Maurice does it in the live performance so that Barry can continue in his regular voice). That clip is available on RUclips. But be sure to also check out their very last song & video from 2001 called "This Is Where I Came In". It is quite different from anything else they ever did and would have been right at home on a progressive rock station from that time. Maurice died shortly thereafter, so the Bee Gees came to an end, and then Robin died a few years later, leaving Barry, who was the older of all three, the only remaining Bee Gee.
Make sure you are watching Midnight Special stuff, they showcased big names on the tv show.
And of course Andy, the youngest, died first.
Can’t forget Andy their youngest brother.
Maurice (pronounced Morris) and Robin are twins.
Fraternal.
I am extremely surprised you haven't heard of The Bee Gees songs. I am a few years older than you but I grew up listening to The Bee Gees and to lovely Andy.They were the gods in the music industry for decades. Bigger than any group! No one, I mean no one can harmonize like the brothers Gibb. They made the world a happy place with their songs. Love them forever! ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes it’s all because of what your parents and older siblings, and your friends listened to. I have 2 older siblings with very different tastes in music, plus parents who loved country and rock (Elvis kind of rock). I have very eclectic tastes in music. Be it Bach or Willie and the boys, if the music is good, I like it. So Rock on, Seb, you are doing the world a great service.
The '70's was the best era to be alive.Best Music. No autotune. My teen years were good That music takes you back to where you were at that time.
The Midnight Special is proof of that. Live, always.
And because of our great music, our generation was more stable, peaceful, and full of love. What a memorable time to live!
I started college in 1971 at age 18.
Some call the whole of the 1970's the decade of the singer/songwriter. The sixties were great for music also.
No auto tune, no over production. Just talent.😁
I’m a 76 year old British woman, this brought tears to my eyes, both because of the wonderful unique Bee Gees, and your reaction. Made my day.
75 here, me too, Barry was so hot...thanks for the memories....!
Exactly.
I'm Aussie from Queensland. Brisbane. Redcliffe was where the 3 boy's the Gibb family grew up. We go to Redcliffe all the time and go threw their famous memorial on the bee gees and their whole history all the time in Redcliffe. My oldest Sister went to their Redcliffe School and My Sister was Barry's GIRLFRIEND and Then the boy's went to America. How's that. Love Always.🎼💖🎼
Nobody can touch the BeeGees. I always loved them!❤❤❤
I cannot tell you how much pleasure I get from seeing the younger generation in awe of the talent of the bee gees, I grew up listening to this magnificent group. There is no group with the same calibre RIP Maurice and Robin I miss you so 🌹🙏
These are fraternal harmonies. Art that can never be recreated.
The Bee Gees have one of the greatest song writer’s catalogs of all time.
Those brothers harmonics was heaven sent for sure !! My heart goes thump when I hear their music❤
Tight pants were a trend of the 1970s. We used to say you could see everything but the colour.😊
When you watch Queen Live Aid the person stage left handling microphones also demonstrate not only did we wear them way too tight, we cut them off way too short.
Love that 🤣😂
Lots of us older people are commenting. These brothers were child stars on Australian television when I was a little girl. Maurice was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. RIP twins.
❤
Yes, it was real 6:32. He was known for it. He was naturally packing them tight jeans back in the day. Look for other Bee Gee videos. BTW, that was the style back then
Yes, tight fitting jeans were the style then, and if you had anything at all, it showed.
They weren't mid- rise, going up to the waist and 100% cotton. No spandex. People really "broke" in their jeans. Not stuffed Sebs.
The Bee Gees are one of the greatest songwriting teams, they wrote for everybody and also one of the greatest groups ever.
So true. There accomplishments are even greater when I discovered that they could not read or write musical notes. Absolutely amazing! I still listen to them every day. Makes me smile.
@@TheMsCrystalblue The music theory is in their ears. The Beatles didn't read music either.
Note: They were LIVE in front of an orchestra. No auto-tune. Perfection in vocals. Their talent was off the charts. Look up the number of songs they wrote. Incredible.
No. This is the studio LP version played over the top of whatever was going on in that video.
Note: this is incorrect. this was not a live recording. a quick google search will tell you that the recording of this song was pretty complex.
I'm a metal head to the core! I'm also Gen X and the Bee Gees are ingrained into my soul. Most amazing voices ever I swear!!!
Welcome to our generation music.
Same here!
Great voices, great harmony.
SAME
The main guy is Barry! He is the main songwriter and has written hit songs for MANY other artists! He even wrote 3 #1 songs in a weekend❤
I am 72 yrs old this is what is normal for me.
There was , pre disco Bee Gee s, and disco Bee Gees, and the comeback Bee Gees.
Enjoy the Journey young Padawan. ✌️
The BeeGees are LEGEND. They also wrote major hits for other artists over the years.
GOAT.
RIP Maurice & Robin (& little brother Andy).
Thank god for our boomer music. It kept us together and united with all the craziness. 60's and 70's music best of all time
Before the disco Bee Gees, they had a string of beautiful love songs in the 1960s and 1970s. Everyone thinks The Bee Gees came to fame during the disco era, not true. They had hit songs such as Lonely Days, Lonely Nights, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Massachusetts, Words, Jive Talkin’, To Love Somebody, Nights on Broadway, I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You, I Started a Joke, and New York Mining Disaster 1941. All memorable songs with that great Bee Gees harmony. Robin, with the longer hair, usually sang the tenor part, Maurice the lowest part, and Barry usually the main melody line, although Robin did some solo numbers. They were popular BEFORE disco…and that’s a fact.
OMG. I LOVE Lonely Days, Lonely Nights. Such a masterpiece from 1970.
That's a great list! Loved all their music!
I love the 60s Bee Gees the best.
Exactly!!
Robin got the rhythm for Jive Talking when they were going over a train bridge
The Bee Gees donated the proceeds from this song to a Worldwide Children’s Foundation, it’s brought millions of dollars to the cause.
it's UNICEF!
I remember watching this live in 6th grade on TV. I’m 57 now. Still hits every time.
And apparently, this video was done in 1 take.
I'm a boomer and I loved their music. The Bee Gees were actually 4 singing brothers. Andy, the youngest, sang separately from the other 3 and he died early but he had a couple of hits. The twins, who provided harmony, died a few years apart but Barry (the one in the middle with the high voice) is still alive. They have so many hits you should check out their song lists. From Saturday Night Fever alone you got a ton of hits.
How about the early stuff? I love "gotta get a message to you" ! Great stuff!!😅
As a fellow boomer on the younger end…. I was too young to dance at the disco, but not too young to couples skate to this song.
@@vickiewallace415 I'm 69. A year younger than John Travolta. We did a lot of dancing (especially the Hustle), drinking, and flirting, to the music. Great times.
@@vickiewallace415 ahh....the skating rink was fun,. I wasn't good enough to do couples stuff but enjoyed watching.
Andy was never a Bee GEe.
My favorite Bee Gees song is How Deep Is Your Love. However: all their music is simply spellbinding
Hello, "Staying Alive" is a very life-saving song--LITERALLY. I live in Seattle, Washington state. Our medic One, fire department, and Red Cross promote citizen CPR. They found that when students practice chest compressions to the BeeGees "Staying Alive", it is the right rhythm for the heart to resuscitate a person having a heart attack.
Seattle is the best place to have a heart attack, since so many plain citizens have learned CPR.
Reminds me of the Office!!
@@raedog68 was thinking THE SAME THING!!!
Lovely
We just had a CPR class and our instructor said the same thing. I grew up on the Bee Gee's. ❤
@@raedog68
Singing the wrong song...now they are dead. Great scene.
They donated all proceeds from this song to UNICEF. You won't find any bad songs from the Bee Gees. My all-time favorite! Check out Fannie Be Tender.
Fannie be tender is one of my favorites. It's a studio magic masterpiece. Also love Alone and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Yes that's a great song
My favorite.
The Bee Gees started in 1958. Barry, the brother in the middle, is the last Bee Gee. Maurice, the brother with the beard, died in 2003. After that the Bee Gees as a group stopped recording and touring because without Maurice they didn't want to go on. At that time the only people to sell more albums than the Bee Gees were Paul McCartney and Elvis. Barry produced and wrote hits for other artists. Robin, the brother on Barry's right, died in 2012. I hope you will dive into the rabbit whole with these guys. They were so much more than disco and falsetto!
Please do not forget the youngest Brother Gibb, Andy. We lost him around 1989 (?). He was a real sweetheart. He sang some with his brothers, but also had a solo career. Shadow Dancing? Remember? Blessings to the Gibb family. 🙏🙏
Robin and Maurice were twins ❤😢
Their disco was the best. Sebs did say his favorite thing was falsetto.
I am 63 & grew up with the best music ever!! My Sons were born in the 90’s & was raised listening to my music.
It's a tragedy we lost Andy, Maurice, and Robin so young. We should have had decades more of these voices.
But thankful we had decades of the Bee Gees, & the years of Andy we did.♥️
I adored Andy Gibb
@@marywehrs2172 I did too. But Barry was my first crush, lol!
@18AcresHomestead Mine, too, and still is🥰🥰🥰
There is something special about siblings who sing together. Because they have similar speech patterns their voices and harmonies blend in ways that don’t happen in regular singing groups. It’s magical.
💯- like The Carpenters siblings duo.
Boomer here. Yes! More Bee Gees - you will be surprised by how many sounds they have. We may enlighten, as you said, but YOU are keeping the music alive! Thank you.
Nights on Broadway, Love You Inside Out, Tragedy, Alone just to name a few......
My mom had their record. I grew up listening to their beautiful music. I love them. I hope the younger generation is open to listening to the music of the 70's and 80's. It was the best. Motown, The Four Seasons, the 1960s and original rock and roll were great too .💖
The Bee Gees were prolific song writers & wrote many hits for other artists as well as for themselves.
They had a younger brother who had a career of his own, but he died quite young as he got into drugs. The 3 brothers began singing together as children & appeared on TV shows. The only brother still alive is Barry, the one in the middle on this one.
Thanks so much 😊🙏💞
Their voices are a musical instrument!
They wrote over 1,000 songs, the dad asked how, Barry said they only ever put emotions to music. Try Jive Talking. When they recorded Nights on Broadway is when they discovered Falsetto. Being brothers they competed on that. Barry could continue doing his for longer, and had the unusual talent of adding vibrato to it. From then he became the main frontman. Each brother took turns at lead singing. Robin in I started a Joke and Massachussets. Can't remember Mo's leads just now. He did the first of May with his ex, Lulu, deep voice. Look for words. Barry wrote the Grease theme song. They started in the 60's.
Mo - Closer than close, Hold her in your hand, Omega man, Above and beyond, Man in the middle just to name a few.
Robin - Heart like mine, Ellan Vannin, Holiday, When he's gone, And the sun will shine, I can't see nobody, Fallen angel, She keeps on coming, Bodyguard, Black Diamond, Don't fall in love with me, Tokyo Nights, Lamplight, dozens of leads plus solo songs.
@@susieq9801 thank-you.
Barry - Words, To Love Somebody, In the Morning, First of May, Don't Forget to Remember, Israel, Alive, Dogs, I Can't Let You Go, Songbird, Subway, Nothing Could be Good, Be Who You Are, Someone Belonging to Someone, Live or Die, The Only Love, Happy Ever After, I Could Not Love You More....plus a couple hundred more.♥️
hey kathleen and others, when you put ' in the song titles front and end, it will make people know what you're talking about, just fyi, sorry to interrupt.
Barry Gibb standing there with his great hair (head and chest), tight jeans, singing with his hands in his pockets, so easy. And Robin and Maurice easy as well. And seriously live orchestra.
Not Andy, but Robin.
@ oh, thank you for the correction! I’ll fix it.
@ oh, thank you for the correction! I’ll fix it.
Even their falsetto is in harmony. They were am amazing!
Earlier years were less falsetto. All periods of their music was great!
Their pre disco music is amazing! I grew up with The Bee Gees and their little brother Andy Gibb! Such amazing music and artists! I am loving that you are loving it! I am 61 and this is my musical heaven!
The Harmony is Beautiful.
I Love the BeeGees
Barry is the main singer( in the middle). Robin is on his right, Maurice on his left. The BeeGees were a big part of my life in the ‘70’s!
This song has probably melted more girls' hearts than any other in recorded history. The Bee Gees' mastery of falsetto, harmony, and vibrato is unparalleled, matchless and timeless. Hardly anyone ever gives them recognition for their writing and musicianship. Too bad
because they did everything very well.
How To Mend A Broken Heart is my favorite Bee Gees song. It’s their first hit in America.
"I Started a Joke" and "Words" are two of my favorite early BGees songs.
Families that sing together as they grow up have the tightest, sharpest harmony.
The Bee Gee’s were the most talented group I can recall. Barry wrote massive songs for so many stars. Talent in his DNA. It would be one of the top things on my bucket list to hear him sing, or just to meet him. I was raising kids when his band was the bomb, so I never got the chance to go see them.
3 guys and one mic, in a Live Performance, and No Auto Tune!! all 3 have wonderful voices, each in their own right, and their harmonies were brilliant and totally in-sync and pitch perfect. No one does this any more. And songs of romance from the 60's and 70's cannot be duplicated today. Us gals were serenated by these guys, Franki Valli, Righteous Brothers, The Association, Sinatra, and so many others!
This appears to be a Studio Session to me? Or any other suggestions?? 😂😂🎉🎉😂😂
It's not live.
Im 64 and grew up on this music. They also wrote many songs for many artists. Their impact in music was just phenomenal and you don't hear artists like this anymore. These guys are just pure talent and these days in music that is lacking.
So many only know the Bee Gees from Stayin' Alive but as a child of the 60s/70s THIS is how I know the Bee Gees. So much good music over their career!
I enjoyed your response; you watched a master class in the Bee Gees.
Three voices singing as one. That was the magic of the Bee Gees. Perfection is rare and a wonder to behold.
'How Deep Is Your Love' is unforgettable, emotional, and will take you to a place you don't want to leave.
A beautiful song! If you've never heard Barry in the studio creating it with Blue Weaver, it's so worth listening to!♥️
I'm a genX, born in 1967 and grew up with most of this music that you're listening to. The 70s were an awesome and also a horrible time to grow up, but musically it was THE BEST!! I was the youngest and was exposed to all my older sibling's music. I am super eclectic, music-wise, and love everything from 60's British Invasion to Moody Blues to Elton to Depeche Mode and just about everything in-between, including the hard stuff. In the 80s, when I was in high school, we had all that great "new wave" music that I still adore. So glad you don't fake hearing things for the first time. Love your channel!
I had nothing BUT OUT STANDING TIMES THREW OUT ALL OF THE 70s Period
Barry in the middle singing lead has the high falsetto voice. Robin on Barrys right and Maurice on his left sang harmony. I am a Boomer raise in the sixties grew up with the Bee Gees and I can honestly say they dont make music like that anymore. Anyone who grew up listening to the Bee Gees were truly blessed.❤❤
Hell yes! More Bee Gees please! How Deep is your Love, More than a Woman, Jive Talking, Love You inside and out, Love so Right, Fanny be tender with my love...that's just a few from the 70s. They had hits in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. Until Maurice sadly died unexpectedly in 2003. They wrote not only all their own songs but huge hits for others as well. Top reaction. Lovely to see the young embrace real heart in music.
Jive Talking is one of my favorite songs!
Beegees
One of the most talented groups in history hands down!!!
Only one BEE GEE left that is sad that is a loss for music!
The 4 and Only lol
"There is going to be a resurrection" so they'll be awakened from the sleep of Dea h and hey are in and come home again, with a second chance at life. That being the case I'm hoping to hear from those wonderful voices again!
Love your reaction thanks for your sharing how you feel the Bee Gees...
Yeah and he’s the oldest. Sad. Such talent!
They were huge, huge, huge back in the day. And not only did they write and sing hit songs for themselves, but they also did so for other artists, like Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, and more.
I loved your reaction to this video! I just wanted to tell you about they're youngest brother Andy Gibb! I was 12 back in the 1970's, when my Step-dad bought me Andy's album for my birthday! I still love listening to him and his brother's as well! Thank you for a blast from my past☆
You have to do "To Love Somebody." It's my favorite Bee Gees song and they wrote it for Otis Redding but Otis was killed before he could record it.
La grabaron en abril de 1967 y Otis fallecio en un accidente en diciembre del mismo año!
The vibrato they have is so perfect. All 3 of them were so talented.
The Bee Gees sing in so many different genres as well. They have a massive catalog that you need to experience
Love love love the BeeGees!!! Main Course is their best album in my opinion ❣️❣️❣️🎶🎵🎸🤩💐 I’ve been listening to them since the early seventies!!! I loved them before Saturday Night Fever!!!
Barry found out by accident in the studio that he could do the falsetto.
Yep, he was singing baritone when one of his brothers kicked him in the groin. The rest is history.
The Bee Gees were one of the most prolific songwriters in music. Many of their songs were done by other artists. As a Boomer, I can't say how great our music was!❤
Fanny Be Tender is the best R & B song ever by Bee Gees. It is worth a listen!
This is probably my very favorite BGs song. ❤
All though extremely hard to pick just one, Fanny is my fav!
@@sandradyer5956I gave up trying to pick 100 favorites years ago!😁
Love my era of music
1 take... no autotune..... just pure talent... unlike today's music... go listen to all their pre-disco music... their music will last forever
I always post my comments before reading ones already posted and I wrote exactly the same as you. I did list some titles. ❤️
It’s not live, this is a recording. The song has 27 vocal tracks (18 by Barry and 9 by the other 2 brothers, so obviously impossible to reproduce it live.
WTF is wrong with disco?? I love disco! Makes me feel good and feel like moving! Plus is happy music! WTF is wrong with people who don't like music that makes others feel good?
I'm 70 years old and I still remember the first songs I ever heard on the radio in the late 1950's and the 60's. There were a lot of many great singers and musicians during that time. This is why many of us that our age are bored with the music today. I still listen to some music made today but it's easy to know it's all digitalized with drum beats that all sound the same in many of the songs.
You just reminded me of the first time I came across the use of shidastra machines. 🙂 Well, that was what I thought my brother called them...
Yes -proud to be a boomer. Bee Gees are the bomb. I am so proud to know every word of every one of their songs. 💕
Me too, my daughter, who is 22, claimed she was glad she could pick her own music in her car. Guess who stole my BeeGee's cd!
There are videos out there were Barry talks about how the falsetto came out. He's the only one left. 65 yo woman here. Love these guys and their interviews. They wrote the music for staying alive, the movie.
