That song hits me hard it makes my heart skip a beat. It makes me treasure the day up to now that I met my wife. So deep it bring tears to your eyes very awesome song.
My wife and I slow danced to how deep is your love ❤️ when we were 16 years old,we are now 60 with four kids and six grandchildren, the BeeGees were incredible, we still listen to all their music ❤❤
Barry, the lead singer is still alive. His two brothers have passed. RIP There will never be anyone like them. I love listening to them and reminiscing. ❤️
Guys, this song is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. You cannot go wrong with the Bee Gees. Listen to the very beginning and how their voices just penetrate your heart.❤
@@dennisstano2138 I listen every single day. I saw an interview with Alex Baldwin and Barry. His ? Was what song do u perform that touches your soul, gets u the most emotional. His answer was WISH U WERE HERE (written for Andy) and also HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE. another cool tidbit tidbit about this song is when the song was written, Barry and his brothers and a couple other people were in the room. When they were writing it, There was this big window and the first time they heard the song back a beam of light shined through the window and brightened the whole room up. I’m not sure if I have the story exactly correct but the guy that talked about it got choked up and started to tear up a bit. Barry and one of the producers of the song said they’ll never forget that moment as long as they live. I saw that on the documentary. How can you mend a broken heart. I’ve seen it like 10 times. 😍
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, by the Bee Gees. A song written ny Carol King, and recorded by the Bee Gees, as a tribute. They knocked it out of the park.
Great time in music, the late 70's. Song is from the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. You two have been pausing on Donna Summer for a while now, time for some Last Dance, Mac Arthur Park, Heaven Knows or Bad Girls.
Can tell you guys really just heard this for the first time, by the looks on your faces...SO cool! Welcome to my world back then, 63-year-old grandpa here. No group takes me me back to then more...EVERY song they did was a masterpiece!!
Here are a few I love by the Bee Gees-- 'To Love Somebody' - 'More Than a Woman' - 'Massachusetts' - 'Jive Talkin'' - 'Nights on Broadway' - Immortality (with Celine Dion)
This song was out when I was 14 and it was THE slow dance song at the skating rink, prom, wedding, etc. that year... I really love this reaction - especially at around 1:44 you see Barry's magic powers take Mel out for a second! Great channel! 👋👋👋
I am happy to say that you are mistaken! Barry, the oldest brother (usually stands in the middle) is still alive. He is the last surviving Bee Gee brother & he must be protected at all costs! There have been news stories about Barry still keeping their music alive & interviews he's talked about the loss of his brothers & life long musical partners, since their early days performing as kids/young teens. Last year he released Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1, collaborating with other musicians & singers. Mo (Maurice) died in 2003 and Robin passed from cancer in 2012. Their youngest brother, Andy died way back in 1988 at the young age of just 30 yrs old. Andy was actually my favorite brother out of all of them. He looked & sounded so much like Barry. In fact those two could pass for twins more so than the actual twins, Maurice & Robin - LOL! My favorite songs from Andy are "I just want to be your everything" and "Shadow Dancing" Please give baby brother, Andy, a listen sometime soon - he will blow you away, like his big brothers do!
The Bee Gees have three of the top 100 songs of all time from billboard, three! And this is one of them! The most beautiful, harmonizing vocals on the planet
They crossed a few decades and grateful to be able to enjoy everything they gave us. Will always be timeless. Please react to a fave of mine from the 70s, Classics IV. They were so smooth and talented!
They lived near me when they were growing up (around when I was born!) and people who knew the family said their mum would constantly drill the boys in singing techniques... guess it paid off!
I ❤ The Bee Gees so much. They were a major part of my teen years. I had (and still have) the biggest crush on Barry. Please react to their “Love So Right” and “Fanny, Be Tender (With My Love)”. They’re just the best.
This was a French Baby... Barry and Blue Weaver (the keyboardist) first create the beautiful melody in the morning ,and later of course made this awesome baby with the Gibb brothers (Robin and Maurice)...wow so gifted to our fans ...❤🎉😊
Another banger they wrote that I absolutely love is "Emotion" recorded by Samantha Sang in 1978. It has been covered by many artists over the years, but the original recording by Samantha (with Bees Gees on backup vocals) is the one to hear first before all other versions.
One of the best songs in pop music history by one of the best groups in music history ! The Gibb brothers were so talented! RIP Robin, Maurice and Andy Gibb 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💐💐💐🎤🎤🎤, Lord touch Barry Gibb, may he live a long life! One of the greatest singers and songwriters alive!
It's ok to let the tears flow. I've been listening to this song for decades, often times hitting repeat more than once. I must have heard this song thousands upon thousands of times, but it still makes me swoon & get weepy eyed every time I hear it. Many of us love their older music, but they continued to compose & produce music until the untimely deaths of Maurice (2003) & Robin (2012). Two of their "newer" songs (post disco era) that I really love are "One" (1989) and "Alone" (1997). My favorite "old school" song is Jive Talkin'. I'm telling you, Maurice is a master on the bass guitar, laying down one of the heaviest FUNKY beats ever recorded. It makes you get up & dance, you can't help it. The beat just takes over & your body starts to move automatically - LOL!
Barry is sort of an avatar of the disco era--big hair, unbuttoned shirt, neck chain, tight pants, and all. Plus the high falsetto was very unexpected coming from such an alpha-looking male.
Shawn and Mel!! I’m so glad you guys love this!! It’s simply magical, one of the best songs ever. It’s the perfect combination of so many genres, an R&B/soul power ballad with an unforgettable and inspired melody, a category the Bee Gees owned all to themselves. The vocals are delivered with such effortless confidence, not to mention the best falsettos in the business. A classic among classics.
They are the Gibb Brothers & are true legends ❤ Been performing together, since the 60’s. Their names are Barry (the tall one lol) Maurice & Robin. Barry is still alive but sadly Maurice, Robin & their baby Brother Andy Gibb have passed away.
This song topped the US Billboard charts in 1977. Remember it well, so good. The Bee Gees were easily amongst the greatest songwriters of popular music.
Andy Gibb was my favorite of the Brother's Gibb everyone forgot him but i never ever will. He was a solo artist no one can take anything from him he was very talented in his own right. Had a huge crush on Andy hell i still do. Poor Barry was not on good terms with Andy when he passed away he said that is a burden i must carry for the rest of my life and i agree with him. Awesome reaction.
The Bee Gees always said this was the best song they ever wrote!! They wrote many songs for other artists! My favorite is Immortality which they wrote for Celine Dion!! R. I. P. Robin and Maurice!! Barry, you’re still awesome even though your twin brothers have passed we love you!! The lead singer is Barry and he is still with us!
Hi guys love your reactions credit must also be given to the music they have wrote for other artists as well as Their own performance's top draw the Brothers Gibb .
It does something to you, yes. I read how beautiful art and music can release dopamine in the brain, so yes, this group certainly can do that. Blue Island live on MTV is another beautiful one. Barry said recently that they are not msking besutiful songs these days. True
I love the Bee Gees aka The Brothers Gibb. I grew up listening to them and played them for my children. Their voices were so soft and mellow. RIP Andy Maurice and Robin. The lead singer Barry Gibbs is only one of the brothers still alive. Please react to their songs Shadow Dancin', How Can You Mend a Broken Heart and Emotion.
I'll ever forget the first time I heard this song when it was first released in 1977. I'd always loved the Bee Gees and this was the most beautiful song I ever heard. Shawn and Mel, you have quickly become my favourite reviewers. You radiate such a positive energy.
Recently I saw where Alice Cooper said that at the time they were not supposed to admit it but that Saturday Night Fever album was an absolutely brilliant record.
Their heaven;y harmonies were like no others on this earth, and they made it all look so effortless. This video showcases them so well. Interesting how big tall Barry had the high falsetto and no one thought it detracted from his masculine allure. Glad to see the younger generation getting it about these incredible guys.
They wrote so many songs and were very talented.Their voices were complimentary, they harmonize so well. Saturday Night Fever is one of my favorite movies. Glad you liked this!
The midnight special version of Nights on Broadway, 2001 This Is Where I Came In, Man in the Middle, You win again. So many great songs . You all are great you spread love and positivity. Mel you have a beautiful voice.
The Bee Gees were just The Hitmakers. Their songwriting is just impeccable. It’s beautiful the lyrics everything about it. I’m so glad that you’re finding them an appreciating them so long after they were so popular.
The lead singer is Barry Gibb. You are correct that this is an outstanding song! I think one of the reasons you really enjoy songs from back in the day is because , nowadays, you don't hear this kind of beautiful music anymore. Do you agree?
The Bee Gees have been an Amazing Artists, Songwriters and Brothers singing before I was born. They were the one of the most Talented bands I have been listening to since I was a teenager. I will mourn the last of the Gibb brothers Barry. They are and Always will be One of the Greatest Artists I will mourn!!!! Maurice, Robin and Andy left too soon. Barry is the oldest and last of this Amazing family of Artists.
My all time favorite song from the Bee Gees ever since I first heard it at the age of just 10 years old. My cousin (3 yrs older) had just bought the Saturday Night Fever double album & we listened to it on repeat. I loved all the great dance tunes but this song caught my ear with the first few notes. I hadn't really heard a "love song" before. Sure I heard them on the radio or when my parents would put on a record, but I never really paid close attention to the actual words or what they meant being so young at the time. I remember clearly the next day I went out & bought this album with my own weekly allowance money that I had saved up. It was the first time buying "grown up's music". I think another reason why it has such meaning is that this song was the very first time I ever "slow danced" with a boy at a school dance in the cafeteria. I was in 5th grade & Charlie was in 6th grade. He wasn't a boyfriend but just a family friend (our moms knew each other). When this song played, he knew how much I liked it so he asked me to dance. I had never danced with a boy so talk about being nervous! But since we were already friends, he just chatted about the Bee Gees, the song, etc. & before we knew it, our dance was over... I'm almost 56 now (in 4+months) & that one memory has always stuck with me. 😊 The entire soundtrack album is filled with amazing music. The Bee Gees wrote most of the songs, but several were performed & recorded by other artists. One of my other favorites from this album is "If I can't have you" by Yvonne Elliman (Bee Gees wrote it). She has such a rich melodic voice. I hope you will check out that song, among others on the album, & maybe give the movie a viewing one day. It's a fun watch, if nothing else but for all the great music & dance scenes. A prime example is the video for "You should be dancing" by The Bee Gees. The video shows them on stage (with little brother, Andy!) & has clips of John Travolta's glorious dance moves. 😍 You will love it, I promise!
Im conviced this is a song from actual angels. Because how can a song make us feel this emotional❤
That song hits me hard it makes my heart skip a beat. It makes me treasure the day up to now that I met my wife. So deep it bring tears to your eyes very awesome song.
My wife and I slow danced to how deep is your love ❤️ when we were 16 years old,we are now 60 with four kids and six grandchildren, the BeeGees were incredible, we still listen to all their music ❤❤
Tell me this doesn't touch your heart! There will never be another group like them!! Perfection!! Watch More than a woman!!
More than a Woman is BEST!
Barry, the lead singer is still alive. His two brothers have passed. RIP
There will never be anyone like them. I love listening to them and reminiscing. ❤️
3brothers don't forget their little brother Andy.
3 brothers have passed.
Yass I love Andy voice all of the brothers can really sang❤
I've always thought that must have been really tough for him. One by one, and now he's the only one.
@@marknorris1381 heartbreaking isn't it.he must be a very emotionally strong guy and have a good support network.
The tall guy? That's Barry Gibb. he's the only living brother, 76 years old.
That is extremely sad I didn't know that .like brian wilson.i have 3 brothers so it hits really close to homie.makes me sad
this is their signature song... one of the best songs eva
Guys, this song is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. You cannot go wrong with the Bee Gees. Listen to the very beginning and how their voices just penetrate your heart.❤
I agree !
I listen weekly
Let’s keep listening!

I saw that on the documentary. How can you mend a broken heart. I’ve seen it like 10 times. 😍
Well said!
The best love song of a trio in music history
No auto tune just pure TALENT. Bee Gees = Unmatched to this day
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, by the Bee Gees. A song written ny Carol King, and recorded by the Bee Gees, as a tribute. They knocked it out of the park.

This is a "let's go to bed babe" song... loved growing up listening to the Bee Gees ♥️
This was the last song used in the movie Saturday Night Fever. It’s in the last scene. And it’s placement is perfection.
I was thinking the exact same thing as I was listening…
Never can go wrong with the Brothers Gibb !!!!
Here are a few I love by the Bee Gees-- 'To Love Somebody' - 'More Than a Woman' - 'Massachusetts' - 'Jive Talkin'' - 'Nights on Broadway' - Immortality (with Celine Dion)
Hell yeah, jive Talkin we were all dancing to it in the clubs
This song was out when I was 14 and it was THE slow dance song at the skating rink, prom, wedding, etc. that year... I really love this reaction - especially at around 1:44 you see Barry's magic powers take Mel out for a second! Great channel! 👋👋👋

Perfect song to dance to like floating on a cloud
Timeless music never gets old. This was a huge part of my childhood.
How I miss these years❤❤❤
From the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, my junior year in h.s. , winter of 77-78.
Their voices blend so well because they're Brothers!
Her reaction is awesome! So awesome seeing people hear what music should sound like.
Barry Gibb is one of the most talented singers of all time period. Love the content keep it coming
Loved your genuine reactions. If you don't love this song you're dead. You guys are great. Thanks.
Love the Bee gees. Barry Gibb is stunningly GORGEOUS 🥰😍😂🤣 love you guys reaction 👍❤️
This song is beautiful- I've always liked this one. I liked how she asked "What planet is he from?!"
you have to keep diving down this rabbit hole cause these gentlemen have no bad songs you will never be disappointed
I LOVE watching people get red pulled by the Bee Gees! It made my day.... ❤
You are a lovely couple,the Bee Gees were wonderful
They lived near me when they were growing up (around when I was born!) and people who knew the family said their mum would constantly drill the boys in singing techniques... guess it paid off!
I ❤ The Bee Gees so much. They were a major part of my teen years. I had (and still have) the biggest crush on Barry. Please react to their “Love So Right” and “Fanny, Be Tender (With My Love)”. They’re just the best.
Barry Maurice and robin we will never hear this sound again in our lifetime ..r.i.p Maurice and robin you're music lives on
Bee Gees were it in the late 70's, they were fire burning everywhere! One of my favorite groups.
This was a French Baby... Barry and Blue Weaver (the keyboardist) first create the beautiful melody in the morning ,and later of course made this awesome baby with the Gibb brothers (Robin and Maurice)...wow so gifted to our fans ...❤🎉😊

This is my generation of music, 70s and 80s, and the Bee Gees were a huge part of it!

This was Classic 1970s pop rock -- Bee Gees were the best!
This song topped the US Billboard charts in 1977. Remember it well, so good. The Bee Gees were easily amongst the greatest songwriters of popular music.
So smooth! Voices like theirs and Barry White's and Johnny Cash...oh man
Mel you just melt with these love songs 😍
I love this song! It's from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. It brings back a lot of childhood memories. ❤
I feel you and I wish I can turn back the time of my teen years too.

One of the best bands in the world, so much beautiful music, legendary. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Such a one of a kind, beautiful 🎵 song! Done any rocking
Sorry. Billy Squire? "Stroke," "In the Dark," or "Everybody Wants You?" 🎸

You've been beegeed, they will put you in a beautiful trance. Grew up dancing to their songs , magical
Thanks Shawn and Mel. Can't go wrong with the Bee Gee's! Absolutely love them. Love you two!
The midnight special version of Nights on Broadway, 2001 This Is Where I Came In, Man in the Middle, You win again. So many great songs . You all are great you spread love and positivity. Mel you have a beautiful voice.
The lead singer his name is Barry Gibb and he is still alive but all the other brothers are dead
Anything from these three brothers, John Fsrnham, Jimmy Barnes or the Teskey brothers cant fail. Love them all
Simple lyrics, yet profound. A lot of their song lyrics are like this.
it's not easy to get a new sound and meaning from simple pop lyrics. Bravo.
Omg.You guys have just hit on my personal favorite from the group. Thank you. Yeah I did the omg.
The classic 70s vibe!
I grew up listening to The Bee Gees! I’m crazy about them!
The Bee Gees were just The Hitmakers. Their songwriting is just impeccable. It’s beautiful the lyrics everything about it. I’m so glad that you’re finding them an appreciating them so long after they were so popular.
I swear there’s never been a more beautiful song ❤
I love the line "We Belong to You and Me". I mean ....what great lyrics!!
Bee Gees....amazing singers and songwriters!!!!!!! ❤️
The lead singer is Barry Gibb. You are correct that this is an outstanding song! I think one of the reasons you really enjoy songs from back in the day is because , nowadays, you don't hear this kind of beautiful music anymore. Do you agree?
A Dance wouldn't be complete back in '77 without another song also put on repeat... The Commodores "Easy".
The Bee Gees were truly something else and great song writers too.
1 of my favorite songs of all time ❤
The Bee Gees have been an Amazing Artists, Songwriters and Brothers singing before I was born. They were the one of the most Talented bands I have been listening to since I was a teenager. I will mourn the last of the Gibb brothers Barry. They are and Always will be One of the Greatest Artists I will mourn!!!! Maurice, Robin and Andy left too soon. Barry is the oldest and last of this Amazing family of Artists.
ILOVE how deep is your love and
Stay alive
You two are absolutely awesome, and soooo entertaining. Thanks for that. Great reaction. Great song.
I wore out my knees dancing to the Bee Gee's in the 1970's 1980s 1990s they have now been replaced, I had great fun and don't regret one second of it
Bee Gees = Masters of Slow dance & Baby Making Music
And it's the lyrics that makes the music POP
Fantastic reaction to one of the greatest love songs of all time.

If you ever have a vow renewal and get married again- I can picture this being a beautiful couples dance.
Song makes me cry, makes me think of lost loves and how important love is in this cold, lonely world.
This group knows how to write/perform a jam...
Their songs just make sense!! The words!!❤️
Now 73 and still love this music!
