Andy was the youngest and died 1st in 1988. Then, Andy's other brothers from "The Bee Gees", Maurice died in 2003, and Robin died in 2012. Maurice and Robin were twins. The only brother who is still alive is, Barry Gibb! .....Rest in Peace Brothers! ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately, mother Barbara had also to survive Andy, Mo and Rob's death. What a drama for a mother! Very very sad. She died on May 2015 at the age of 95.
He looks just like Barry. His life ended far too early. I'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Gibb for having and sharing their four, extremely talented sons with the world. The world wouldn't be the same if we hadn't had them all to enjoy. Thanks for reacting to Andy, Jamel. I've only seen one video (I'm not saying there aren't more) of him on stage singing with Barry, Maurice and Robin. I'm glad he is still being remembered. Take care and be well. Peace.
The Gibbs also have a sister. I forgot her name though. If it weren't for his drug use,he would've gone on to do more solo music and tour as well. Sad..he was so young. ✌💗🎶😁
@@catherinef2054 probably yes a heart attack brought on by overdosing on cocaine. The love of his life Victoria Principal got him into using is what I have heard but don't quote me on that for it may have been only a rumor about her getting him into the cocaine.
His chronic cocaine use caused inflammation in his heart that persisted after he sobered up. He had been sober for about 3 months at the time of his death and he was struggling with depression over his breakup with Victoria Principal.
When they did concerts after the loss of Andy they always played this and had a memorial video of Andy on screen. They would say this goes out to our Andy.
Sweet Andy died in 1988. He was only 30 years old. It broke my heart as a 22 year old and still breaks my heart as a 54-year-old. This performance is so right on. His vocals were just about perfect. Rest in peace forever dear, Andy. Thanks for uploading and sharing your thoughts. The Midnight Special is the BEST!
Andy Gibb would have eventually taken his place with his brothers in their band as the "Fourth Bee Gee," but this song blew up so hard back in the day, that he remained a solo artist...till his tragic and early end.
In the late 70s, I had Andy Gibb posters plastered all over my room...and I slso choreographed dances to his songs...Guess I was a fan ❤😂 He was so talented, with so much charisma.🎉
I have a picture of me in 79 holding this album as a Xmas gift . I was in second grade!. I will always be an Andy Gibb fan . He passed away when I was in 10th grade(88) I was devastated.
Oh Yes, He was my childhood crush when I was younger! I had all of his albums! Besides this one he had Shadow Dancing, Love Is Thicker Than Water, An Everlasting Love, Don`t Throw It All Away, Time Is Time, Desire...he had so many hits! Keep On Rockin`
Girl I'm right there with you. I was madly in love with him. I still remember how heartbroken I was when he died. I cried so much over someone I had never met. I was 21. RIP beautiful man 💗. I'm going to have to watch this again.
Don't forget the one he did with Victoria Principle. The love of his life. I remember when he passed and people were so mad that she didn't stick by him. They felt he would still be alive. She was like I tried to save him when I was with him. I couldn't so I saved myself.
This is Andy's first #1 from 1977. The song was written by his brother, Barry. Other big hits for Andy include Shadow Dancing, (Our Love) Don't Throw it All Away and An Everlasting Love.
Jamel I hope you are able to play "Love is Thicker than Water" also on the Midnight Special. His other number 1 hit was Shadow Dancing. And another top ten was "An Everlasting Love". Andy Gibb rules!!!
Andy Gibb passed from heart damage as a result of years of heavy drug use in 1988. Maurice Gibb died unexpectedly of surgery complications, IIRC, in 2003. Robin Gibb would succumb to cancer in 2012. Sir Barry Gibb is the sole surviving Bee Gee as of this writing...and a World Treasure.
Thank you! They played this song at the roller skating rink all the time, when it was Lady's choice (couples skate - lady chooses her partner). Twelve year old me worked up the courage to ask my crush to couple skate (he said Yes!). 13 years later at Karaoke Night, he sang this to me, got down on one knee and proposed. (I said Yes!) Was our first dance song at our wedding reception as well. Lovely memories of a lovely song. Andy Gibb left us way too soon.
I feel so sorry for Andy. His brothers were the biggest band in the world. The pressure must have been enormous. He was so talented, just like the rest of his family.
OH ...the 80`s was not far enough back to make me feel old you wanna drag me back to the 70`s lmao ...OUTSTANDING!!!!!! THank Jamel ...l loving it even more!
So today’s artists write all their own songs? How many hit songs have Beyoncé, Rihanna & Ariana Grande written? Or Drake? I believe Andy has co-writing credit on most of those songs.
Andy Gibb was a solo act. Barry wouldn't allow him to record with the Bee Gees. Andy was much younger. He was an addict. Barry wanted the Bee Gees to remain a Trio. By the way, this song was for Victoria Principle who was the love of his life.
The names of the Gibb brothers were: Barry, Robin, Maurice, and Andy Andy was the first to past away, then the next was Maurice and then Robin. Barry the oldest is still alive!!. For those who don’t know Robin and Maurice are Twins. Andy was a solo artist, he would get on the stage with his older brothers occasionally!!.
Oh my *** I remember Solid Gold and the dancers. I love all of those dancing and music shoes from the late 70's and early 80's while I grew up. Old time MTV was the bomb.
I've never heard Andy Gibb sing live. Wow. He was amazing and looked just like his oldest brother, Barry. Very handsome young man from a very handsome and talented family. Too much tragedy & loss for one family. Thanks, Jamel, for reacting to his music.
Awww, Thanks Jamel, this is great, Andy doesnt get the credit he deserves for his solo talent...Died way to young. R.I.P. Andy... Missed since 1988...Thanks Jamel, Peace
YAY! Woo-Hoo, a TH-camr reacting to Andy Gibb... finally! Oh my gosh, after months of watching countless Bee Gee reaction videos from numerous different channels & requesting someone to please check out the "baby Bee Gee", Jamel comes through once again - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! It's no wonder why you're my favorite TH-cam channel (& Mr. Video's too). Andy was such a talented musician in his own right. So sad that he passed away just a few days after his 30th b-day from a heart condition which was exacerbated by alcohol & drug abuse. I still remember the day when my cousin bought this album (I was 10 yrs old). She played it over & over again until I memorized the lyrics. I'm 54 now and still can sing every word... in my sleep - LOL! This song & Shadow Dancing were my top favorites from Andy. Even though Andy was 12 years younger than Barry (the oldest), they could have been twins. They share very similar facial features & vocal sound. Barry & Andy look more like twins than the actual fraternal twins, Robin & Maurice.
BTW, guitarist on his side is Don Henley from the Eagles, singing with him on chorus. Andy was kinda twin in mind of Barry, having so many equalities to him. Check out both of them singing on a charity live-concert a song called 'Thats, What I Say'.
Hope you’ll also listen to Andy’s “Shadow Dancing.” As all are saying here, he was the youngest brother as a solo act. The other three were part of The Bee Gees.
Andy was my very first concert it was around 1978 when I was 15. My dad dropped my best friend and I off at Selland Arena in Fresno CA. We called her mom from a pay phone to come get us when the show was over. We were absolutely thrilled to be there.
The Gibb family had a lot of talent Andy was a teen heart throb as they used to say sadly he couldn't overcome his addiction Rip to all those affected so 🙏✌️♥️
BeeGees consist of the three older brothers: Barry, born in 1946 and fraternal twins Maurice and Robin, born in 1949 Andy was born in 1958, so he was an infant, and possibly not even born yet when BeeGees was formed in 1958, and was around 10 years old when his older brothers started to hit it big in the '60s. Sadly, he was the first to pass, in 1988 at age 30. Cause of death is listed as myocarditis, attributed to cocaine abuse earlier in his life which weakened his heart. Maurice passed in 2003, due to complications of a twisted intestine. His twin brother Robin followed in 2012, due to kidney failure. While the brothers Gibb also have a sister, of the four performing brothers, only the oldest, Barry, is currently still alive.
Andy's timing was perfect for HIS VERY OWN SOLO CAREER. It was his destiny in time. he was uniquely talented, just like his brothers before him. Thanks Andy! RIP! Live on! Work it!
The guitar played on the album was none other than the amazing Joe Walsh. He had finished a little known album with the Eagles called "Hotel California" at the same studio. Andy asked if he would play on the album and of course being the awesome man he is he said sure! Thanks for doing this song..love it!!
I understand the confusion. Andy--the youngest Gibb brother, who never was part of the Bee Gees--died first, tragically. Much later, Maurice and Robin Gibb passed away, leaving only Barry Gibb as the surviving sibling. This Midnight Special clip was of Andy in his rising heyday, and he was a magnetic solo star.
Andy was much younger than his brothers in the Bee Gees and so was not an original member. He began recording on his own following in his brother's footsteps during the disco era. The Bee Gees had been recording together for about 10 years at this time. Andy's songs were written and arranged by the Bee Gees giving him a similar sound. At the height of Andy's career the Bee Gees announced that Andy would become part of the group (giving the group four members at that time). Unfortunately, Andy's passed away before they record together. He was the first of the brothers to pass on.
Thanks for keeping this channel so positive, and for the great great music! Love love my RUSH.....but Andy and the Brothers Gibb.....OUTSTANDING!! 💕🙏🦋😇❤️. Be well all!!
Andy Gibb: a big celebrity crush of mine in my teens, and the first live concert a lifelong friend and I attended on our own as high schoolers! He was very talented, just like his three older brothers, The Bee Gees. He was the spitting image of oldest brother Barry! Sadly, he died much too young of a viral heart inflammation, exacerbated by years of cocaine abuse, at only 30. He was the first Gibb brother to leave this world. But in that short time, he left his musical and pop culture mark. Many years later, both the twins, Maurice and Robin, passed away at different times; Barry is the last remaining brother.
When Shadow Dancing came out my local record store was giving the enormous poster of the album after it had displayed in the store. I was lucky to get it and have that on my bedroom wall. It was one huge Andy! Loved him!
Oh mercy, but I had the biggest crush on Andy Gibb! He was so cute! I cried when he passed away. Loved him. Thanks for reacting, Jamel. Peace and love!
Great reaction! I remember being a kid in the 70s when Andy had his big year and everyone knew who he was. It amazes me how fleeting fame can be. Back then, there was no internet chatter and quite frankly most celebrities were complete mysteries surrounded by speculation and mystique. I was definitely envious because he seemed to have it all, and of course every girl apparently had a huge crush on him. What I didn’t know was how troubled he was and how lucky I was NOT to have his life. When they announced his death, he was young and it came as a complete surprise to me. It took me a long while to learn the story because news was much harder to get back then. Anyway, I loved this song when it came out. It is a shame that someone with so much talent, good looks, and money ultimately could not get it together. Life is not easy; if you are happy that’s all it takes. You can be happy without a lot of money. Count your blessings and don’t envy those who appear to have it all because in fact you might actually have a lot more.
Hi Jamel. Although a recent subscriber I've been watching you since almost the beginning of your channel. Props! The really cool thing about Andy is that he arguably had the most special voice out of all the Gibb brothers, with full respect to the underrated Robin. I don't think he had the range of Barry and wasn't the songwriting virtuoso of his big brother, but if you listen really carefully to this song and focus on his tone it should bring a smile to your face. This particular live performance doesn't do him justice, so keep looking for other versions. Like the hair, the teeth and their looks, there is something really special when siblings inherit the same voice. Blended together, and especially in harmony it makes for absolute magic, The best, and my favourite example are the Everly brothers. I saw them in concert several times and when they turned down the lights low and sang Kentucky every hair on my body stood straight on end.
There is a version of Andy Gibb singing The Bee Gees, “Words” at some Award show or something on TH-cam. It is the one where he is wearing a tux. This version is fantastic. He sounds and looks like Barry with the vibrato of Robin. Check it out! RIP Andy Gibb!
Andy was my first celeb crush. He died when I was a freshman in college and that one felt strange - like my childhood had just had a thread pulled and might start unraveling….. (like I thought it was always going to stay intact!!)

Andy Gibb was a solo artist.
Andy was the baby. Andy and Barry looked more like twins than the actual twins Maurice and Robin.
There were four Gibbs. Three in the Bee Gees and little brother Andy was solo many years after the older brothers success.
He was 30
Andy was the youngest and died 1st in 1988. Then, Andy's other brothers from "The Bee Gees", Maurice died in 2003, and Robin died in 2012. Maurice and Robin were twins. The only brother who is still alive is, Barry Gibb! .....Rest in Peace Brothers! ❤️❤️❤️
So sad that Barry and sister and eldest sibing Lesley had to watch their younger brothers pass away first. :(
Andy Gibb was never a member of the Bee Gees.
@@wendylynn4318 True, but the brothers did say they were considering bringing him into the group at the time of his death.

I seen he in concert when I was 13 and I was so in love with him 😂. Now at 55 I still love to listen to him.
If he could have gotten some of that signature Barry facial hair, Andy would've been a dead ringer.
Andy Gibb is a 4th brother. He wasn’t in the Bee Gees. He was much younger. Sadly, 3 of the 4 brothers passed away, including Andy.
The Gibbs also have a sister. I forgot her name though. If it weren't for his drug use,he would've gone on to do more solo music and tour as well. Sad..he was so young. ✌💗🎶😁
@@jackiesueann3476 leslie. Think she's older than Barry - by not much though
He sang so often with the bee gees that he was always considered the 4th bee gee
@@jackiesueann3476 I think he actually died from a heart issue.

Coke Fiend. Sad.
Yes. He had an addiction.
Addiction destroys lives before claiming them.
Heartbreaking.
😢💔
He actually had a heart problem that was exacerbated by cocaine use causing his death.
His chronic cocaine use caused inflammation in his heart that persisted after he sobered up. He had been sober for about 3 months at the time of his death and he was struggling with depression over his breakup with Victoria Principal.
His cocaine problem was due to a chick
Barry Gibb wrote the song "I just want to be your everything" and sang back up on the album cut.
When they did concerts after the loss of Andy they always played this and had a memorial video of Andy on screen. They would say this goes out to our Andy.
"Brother lookin' like a one-night stand" 😂😂
He was incredibly talented and we lost him way too early.
I once told a girl I'd like to be her "everything," and she replied that I could start by first being a "something" 😁
Looks like you did alright though! 😃
Ouch! Not so nice! I’m sure you did great!
It looks like you did good, I hope that is the girl you married, she sounds like a keeper.

@@md-wg4bz You thought wrong.
I had a sweatshirt with Andy's face on it as a little girl. He was sooo dreamy 😍

Roller-skating anthem - still love it 40 years later

Shadow Dancer by Andy Gibb is an absolute gem, with great backing harmony vocals from his brothers
The smoothness was real in that family. Shadowdancing is another solid groove

Me too. I am so ready for my Coke in a cold glass bottle at the drive in. Of course it is Grease playing at the movies..... 😊☺
Instant success for little Andy because Barry and the bro's wrote all his hits as they continued their tsunami of hit songs!
He helped write. He still had to do the work and make his way
Having a good voice and good looks didn't hurt either! My sis had a poster of Andy in his SUPER tight polyester pants! Hot pants!✌💗🎶😁
So today’s artists write all their own songs? How many hit songs have Beyoncé, Rihanna & Ariana Grande written? Or Drake? I believe Andy has co-writing credit on most of those songs.
Yes he did Deanna
He had a great voice. Andy had talent. His brothers may have wrote the song but Andy helped write it.and his beautiful voice made them hits.
Andy Gibb was a solo act. Barry wouldn't allow him to record with the Bee Gees. Andy was much younger. He was an addict. Barry wanted the Bee Gees to remain a Trio. By the way, this song was for Victoria Principle who was the love of his life.

Love is thicker than water ❤

I'd forgotten how much he looked and sounded like Barry.
I'll never forget that episode where he made a guest appearance on the sitcom Gimme A Break with Nell Carter. He died way too young.
I was so jealous back in Jr High because my best friend went to his concert! Everyones crush!! 🥰🥰
Are you sure she was your best friend? Best friends didn't go to Andy Gibb concerts alone. 😁🥰

Andy Gibb: a big celebrity crush of mine in my teens, and the first live concert a lifelong friend and I attended on our own as high schoolers! He was very talented, just like his three older brothers, The Bee Gees. He was the spitting image of oldest brother Barry! Sadly, he died much too young of a viral heart inflammation, exacerbated by years of cocaine abuse, at only 30. He was the first Gibb brother to leave this world. But in that short time, he left his musical and pop culture mark. Many years later, both the twins, Maurice and Robin, passed away at different times; Barry is the last remaining brother.
Andy Gibb and Shaun Cassidy were my first crushes.😍
Shaun was my first concert. I thought I died and went to Heaven.
When Shadow Dancing came out my local record store was giving the enormous poster of the album after it had displayed in the store. I was lucky to get it and have that on my bedroom wall. It was one huge Andy! Loved him!
I remember hearing him in 1979 and just fell in love with him!
Oh mercy, but I had the biggest crush on Andy Gibb! He was so cute! I cried when he passed away. Loved him. Thanks for reacting, Jamel. Peace and love!
I had so many posters of Andy! Soooo many!
Andy Gibb dies in 1988 at the age of 30 from coronary artery disease. SO young and SUCH a shame. RIP AG 💐
Andy was a great songwriter. His title cut of his debut album Flowing Rivers still sticks in my head. Other great ones he wrote on there too.
Andy Gibb.... a shooting star!
The bass, YESSS!💘💘 bass is the heart of the music 💘💘
Your room is getting so full lol. Love it ❤️
We lost such a great talent so young😢R.I.P❤Andy sounded so much like Barry👌 looking good jamel👍stay safe🙏❤
Great reaction! I remember being a kid in the 70s when Andy had his big year and everyone knew who he was. It amazes me how fleeting fame can be. Back then, there was no internet chatter and quite frankly most celebrities were complete mysteries surrounded by speculation and mystique. I was definitely envious because he seemed to have it all, and of course every girl apparently had a huge crush on him. What I didn’t know was how troubled he was and how lucky I was NOT to have his life. When they announced his death, he was young and it came as a complete surprise to me. It took me a long while to learn the story because news was much harder to get back then. Anyway, I loved this song when it came out. It is a shame that someone with so much talent, good looks, and money ultimately could not get it together. Life is not easy; if you are happy that’s all it takes. You can be happy without a lot of money. Count your blessings and don’t envy those who appear to have it all because in fact you might actually have a lot more.
Hi Jamel. Although a recent subscriber I've been watching you since almost the beginning of your channel. Props!
The really cool thing about Andy is that he arguably had the most special voice out of all the Gibb brothers, with full respect to the underrated Robin. I don't think he had the range of Barry and wasn't the songwriting virtuoso of his big brother, but if you listen really carefully to this song and focus on his tone it should bring a smile to your face.
This particular live performance doesn't do him justice, so keep looking for other versions. Like the hair, the teeth and their looks, there is something really special when siblings inherit the same voice. Blended together, and especially in harmony it makes for absolute magic,
The best, and my favourite example are the Everly brothers. I saw them in concert several times and when they turned down the lights low and sang Kentucky every hair on my body stood straight on end.
There is a version of Andy Gibb singing The Bee Gees, “Words” at some Award show or something on TH-cam. It is the one where he is wearing a tux. This version is fantastic. He sounds and looks like Barry with the vibrato of Robin. Check it out!
RIP Andy Gibb!
Andy was my first celeb crush. He died when I was a freshman in college and that one felt strange - like my childhood had just had a thread pulled and might start unraveling….. (like I thought it was always going to stay intact!!)
Love when you do the chair dancing!
