@@mandyharewood886 Because the "rock" crowd started the whole "Disco Sucks" thing by burning Bee Gees (and other dance artists') albums in 1979 in a baseball stadium in Chicago and started a riot.The Gibb brothers went from performers to writer/producers.

And really Mandy, the one "?" is quite enough.
Somewhere I saw Barry say that when he and Robin would sing, Maurice always knew exactly where and how to fill in the third part of their harmonies. This is my favorite performance of this song, not only because they sound amazing but because it's such a treat to hear Maurice take the falsetto responses at the end.
This is my favorite rendition of Nights on Broadway too. There’s something about Barry’s smile, and how he looks out at the audience after that opening line. Not to mention Robin’s famous kick dance, so bad it’s endearing! 😉 Of course they sound amazing. Maurice kills it with the high note knocking this one out of the park! Pure brilliance. Love these guys
I love The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb too. I listen to this mix of songs everyday while I work at my desk! Good thing I work from home because I sing and dance in my office chair. Ok, Robins leg kicks are hilarious! I was a teenager in the 70s so I was in love with Andy Gibb, but as I look at the videos now (I’m 60) I find myself looking at Barry like OMG he was hot as hell 😊 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@marlenamislivec1621 I’ll always love Robin, cupping his hand to ear to insure pitch. But more importantly, who lays down live performances like this anymore? Tempo changes, key modulations, razor sharp harmonies. NO f@#kin’ autotune! Kids, outside of an orchestral concert hall, you ain’t hearing musicianship of this caliber in your lifetime. Especially pop music.
Barry Gibb suffered with pain from arthritis in his hands, one shoulder, one knee. and his back later in his life; before Maurice and Robin died. Barry said one of his knuckles is also gone.
Tres genios con voces hermosas...pero mí favorito fue siempre Maurice porque Él se divertía y disfrutaba sin egoísmos cada canción y su sonrisa iluminaba todo...
@@larrywoolard7965Does anyone else think Barry is stoned? I don’t use, but was a long time Psychiatric R.N. Of course many people did back then, as now. No judgement. Love Barry. 🎉 ❤ 😊
Yes, that's why it's a pity that he was given very few chances to sing the lead or falsetto, over the years. However, such a great, unforgettable band.
HOW I MISS THIS ERA. THE CLOTHES, DANCING, MUSIC AND GROUPS (ESPECIALLY THE BEE GEES) BACK THEN WE'RE ABSOLUTELY EPIC. TODAY'S STUFF DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE. WHO AGREES?
Love the BeeGees here in August 2024. Are you a State of Virginia Frye. I was a Frye before I got married. Had our Frye reunion yesterday. Lots of family, lots of fun and lots of memories to share.
Iam an abif gsn of tha Bee Gees at 80 years old their songs and haomies as brothers givee so.mouch relaxation after a days work thank you so much to these btothers altho there is.only 1 survivng Bee Gees God bless you sir Barry Gibb .you arr so blest by the Lord maybe you arr still with us to give us inspirstion for life from zambo sibugay prob Philippines God bless you and your family .keep going sir Barry you are my idol which includes your 3 brothers who had gonr ahesd of us someday wr will be reumited with our loveones in the bossom of our Heavenly father our creator let us keep going sir.
Not a single piece of wireless gear on that stage, no wireless ear monitors yet Barry knows he nailed the opening verse and Robin locks right on to the harmonies. No digital reverb to mask vocal flaws, any reverb is from the venue itself. The mix is awesome. Amazing confidence to pull this off live. Absolutely top-notch.
Wireless wasn't really refined yet. They have wedge monitors in front and sides. There is reverb on the vocal mics. Listen closely. Everyone used some reverb. This coming from someone who toured with them.
Maurice was going at it with that bass!! Not only was he hitting the lows with that bass, but he was killing it with the falsetto! He is too overlooked! The Bee Gees would have never been the same without him! Best band out there!
Ssdly, the Bee Gees got bashed during the Disco backlash, but their impressive catalogue of work stands the test of time. The talent this group possessed is umatched by many. And I'll take their "disco" tunes and bast the hell out of them anytime!!!!
Fantastic…Maurice’s falsetto is absolutely the best. I wish they would have left him sing at least half the time anyway. It can’t be beat. Love them!!!!!❤😊
This beautiful song saved me when I lost my kitty of 16 years recently. Don't know why except it makes me believe there is love in the world even after so many years. Barry is sooooo good looking and his voice is so wonderful I just keep playing this over and over. Thank you!
Barry's voice is ridiculously strong and iconic. When he starts the song, you remember how great he is. Then Robin kicks in with his iconic voice. Amazing
robin was first with the high pitch and barry said... WOW that gets attention i have to master that and he sure did.... the song Too much heaven still makes me get hoosebumbs when i listen to... i was 10 when this song came out and i used to sing it
most underrated band of all time!! they were a kid act (50s) then turned into a pop act (60s) then created their own genre (70s) then became multiple hit songwriters for others (80s/90s/2000s). society could NOT keep them down!! Tremendous talent and withstood the toughest test of all- the test of TIME!
The real deal, Look at Robin using his hand to make sure the harmony is perfect. This group had so many layers of talent on stage and seemed to always pull off an amazing show
And notice Maurice is singing the high harmony and all the falsetto as well !! Just unbelievable talent !! I wish they knew how much they're missed. 💔💔💔
@ronaldolaquidara64 Robin covers an ear to hear his own voice and to make sure his harmonies were spot on. Which they always were. He had quite the tremelo in his voice, as did Barry. It's tough to hear on stage esspecially if you're singing that middle note. Ooo. It's hard. They never missed even when making their demos. Amazing talent. Love these guys always!
@@JanWhortonBarry's masculine charm is there, even if he's quietly lurking somewhere. It never disappears 😂 The sexiest and most handsome man in the world.
One of the few songs where Maurice's voice can be heard clearly. So great to see him play a big part in the performance. Wish it had happened more often.
Guessin Barry had a lot to do with what they did, when they did, and how they did it. I’m guessin. I’m not that deep into The Bee Gees so i don’t know how they worked in the studio and the creative end on how they worked.
Mo (Maurice) was PERFECT, I wish they would had given him more parts more opportunity because he was excellent!! Makes me sad and Mo did not complain, Mo was very sweet and did not want chaos between the brothers❤️
When it sounds as good live as on the studio recording. That's real talent. Not too many folks can do this! This has always been my favorite Bee Gees song!!
So wholesome and fum to grow up with The Bee Gees! My husband and I danced in Disco Bars to their songs when we were first dating in the dark ages. Great times!💜💜❤💯🙏🌹✡
I don't think people appreciate how many moving parts there are in this song. It is difficult to get all of it perfect. And Maurice in particular was really on his game that night!
Their best, and perhaps one of the greatest ever, opening to to an album. The studio version is even more complex and has much more power, and it just slams you into a new musical journey that is their album, Main Course
@@BAKER22-l4u there are many types of Genius. IQ, EQ, MQ (Music scientists). Some are math geniuses or "Rocket scientists", some are Football scientists, doctors, musicians, artists, etc. The Bee Gees are the "Mount St. Elias" of music. 5 decades of hits. Internationally famous. World Music Awards. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriters Hall of Fame... They are the "Olympia LePoint" of Rocket Scientists.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what greatness is all about. Surpassing the studio-recorded version during a live performance is a tremendous feat, for any talented group, yet the BeeGees did just that during this live Midnight Special performance. Especially when you consider that there was no autotune, pitch correction, or backing tracks used.
I notice a bit of appreciation for the drummer in these comments buried among the (well-deserved) love for the Gibbs. R.I.P. Dennis Bryon, who left us this month, only a few days away from Colin Petersen, an earlier Bee Gees drummer. Both were amazing, and Dennis wrote an enjoyable memoir - You Should Be Dancing- with fun descriptions of hanging out at Barry’s house.
Exactly!! For some reason, I always assumed that Maurice sang the low harmony parts. But hey, he's a Gibb, so those falsettos come so easily for every single one of them.
I think you had to have lived in the 1970s to truly appreciate how EPIC this song is. What a monster hit, and it's never lost a thing in translation over the years.
incredible. Nothing like Bee Gees pre-SNF. I'd read from many sources that Barry found his falsetto with this song, but here we have the multi-instrumentalist (and harmonizer) Maurice singing the part. Robin is mesmerizing front and center in glorious voice. Barry directs from the side, keeping it all together, hitting the guitar hard, with strong back-up vocals. These were beautiful, talented men at a unique moment in contemporary music. There will never be another act to match them.
Who knew Barry was a brunette before Disco Days? They were all gorgeously handsome talented men, for sure. If we could all have been leading their "Ordinary Lives"! Ever heard that song they did live in Australia? Wow!
@@Juliet-anna I kind of get that; but Barry was mainly a marijuana user, according to more than one article I read. To me, Barry looked gorked on pot in this performance. Barry looked a bit like Billy Ray Cyrus to me here. I was a Psychiatric R.N. for 20 years, but maybe he was drunk there. Mo was the identified alcoholic. Mo was sober his last 12 years after threatening to shoot his wife,and 2 children when drunk. He stayed sober after one Rehab. Robin reportedly used prescription drugs like Oxy to excess. Andy died at age 30 from a cocaine O.D. I read that Mo had some liver damage from alcohol. 1 song they did, he walked off, but looked kind of green/brown colored to me; and the brothers looked surprised Mo was walking off.
They continued to be. No other band can hold a candle to all the songs they've written for others, their brother Andy and themselves. Their talent was limitless and those harmonies were masterpieces. Rest peacefully Andy, Maurice and Robin ❤
Wow, I never saw Maurice singing falsetto alone before. That was so cool. Man, when Robin breaks out and sings his really melodic solo part before the chorus, I get chills. They were so good.
While Barry usually takes the lead of songs, it is Robin who was gifted with an utterly beautiful and range. The brothers in harmony are other worldly. While the Beatles are held up as the gold standard, The Bee Gees have touched a much broader audience.
@@Lori-lp6uc they were a great, legendary band doing their own original songs, why would they settle for being a Beatles tribute band? seriously? They did look up to the Beatles when they came to Australia, because they were doing what they wanted to do. That's what encouraged them to return to the UK in 67. They do Beatles songs better than the Beatles in a lot of cases. Robin's version of Oh Darling is better than the original IMO.
@Zlata1313 Exactly. I said they could have been a Beatles cover band. I didn't say they should have been a Beatles cover band. They sang those songs to PERFECTION. Like you said; Robin's rendition of "Oh Darlin" is one of the most beautiful of a Bee Gees recordings.
@@Lori-lp6ucThere is one of the times that they host the Midnight Special and they do a Beatles medley. It's beyond crazy how amazing they do with it too. Maurice sounds like John Lennon even in some of his own works.
Roberto Villegas the live version is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the studio version. I really enjoy watching them all sing together as well in the video, makes it so special... what talent !
You are so right. This is my favorite Bee Gee song and version of it. Wish I could have seen the Trio together Saw Barry alone in Boston and he alone brought the house down.
I was working in a food pantry for the homeless when a Bee Gees song came on. The whole decade of the '70s came back to me in a flash. What a good time it was!
I was in Nursing School, to become an R.N. and dating my husband before we got married! We loved dancing in Disco Bars to their songs way back when! So many memories.
@@JanWhorton "Stayin' Alive." I am a singer/songwriter myself who has been influenced by many bands from the '60s and '70s. Check out my music on my TH-cam channel. Thanks and take care.
Doesn't matter what genre you listen to , this song is a masterpiece. The groove, rhythm section thumping, wah-wah, insane harmonies & falsettos, the mid-song slow down, then ramp it back up. A true live, sweating under the lights performance on top. Just brilliant. Can't stop the toe-tappin.............
And sometimes you don't appreciate just how good a band is. A live performance is all it takes. I am now an obsessed Bee Gees fan. It does not get any better than this folks. 10 stars.
I love the Bee Gees so much, and this song. I'm almost 16, and I people think I'm weird for listening to "old music" such as this. I like new songs too, but old songs like this will always be the best. The way things are going right now, in another hundred years or so, all songs will be completely computer generated, including voices.
@@kingsman8475 oh my goodness thank you so much! What a throwback to see you reply to this comment. I am now 28 years old, and still love The Bee Gees as much as ever, forever one of my favorite bands. I hope you have a wonderful day, kind stranger! ❤️
Continue to be weird! My nineteen year old son does the new computer generated stuff but admits that the old stuff was better in every way. I guess every generation needs hear their own thing and create their new sounds. They need their own identity. But musicians know what true music is, even the young ones. They know and yet....
If I lived to be a million years old, I will never understand why so many great and talented artists have left us far too soon while scum continues to walk the earth. I wouldn’t shed a single tear if every politician and billionaire dropped stone dead. They contribute nothing good that lasts in comparison to this one song.
this video is almost 50 years ago and yet still watching Robin Gibb sing makes me cry and smile at the same time...the most beautifully haunting voice i have ever heard❣❣❣
Love this soooo much! Just look how sexy Robin looks in that beautiful tan outfit! He was sooo gorgeous! Love Barry usin his chest voice, and our wonderful Maurice singing falsettos, and lending all his musical talents!!❤❤❤
In this song our mo sings falsetto near the end n takes it, this is spectacular writing in voices smooth natural n just fantastic all 3 n were our former neighbours n they are most normal humble northern local lads from our town of Manchester n these are incredible one offs, out this world. N nice to see our mo take control n all sing high on this. Its wow. Loved since kids fabulously warm great singers to. Go mo. ❤❤❤❤ wow.👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰🫂😇😇🫂🤗🤗😇😇🤗
I'll never understand why people couldn't appreciate their talent. Their harmony is perfect, and their music is timeless. They even performed a capella on television many times.
I was fortunate enough to see the Bee Gees when they were at their peak for the Spirits Having Flown tour back in 1979. They were phenomenal, with a stunning laser and light show, they had every fan dancing in the aisles. To this day (34 years later), I have never ever seen a better act live, with the Eagles and Santana right behind.

He had a great sense of humor too!
Nights On Broadway is my favorite Bee Gees song. Outstanding
Fantastic choice!
Listen to Maurice hit those top notes! Magical❤️❤️
Exactly!! For some reason, I always assumed that Maurice sang the low harmony parts. But hey, he's a Gibb, so those falsettos come so easily for every single one of them.
❤❤❤
It's great to hear Maurice's voice!
Maurice singing falsetto while playing the bass lines!
It is great to see 3 brothrrs that love each other and it shows.
I think you had to have lived in the 1970s to truly appreciate how EPIC this song is. What a monster hit, and it's never lost a thing in translation over the years.
No auto tune, no lip sinking or filter.. pure talent
Robin had the sweetest voice, Barry the strongest, amd Maurice the perfect complement.
Maurice got more handsome every year he lived! What a sense of humor too!
incredible. Nothing like Bee Gees pre-SNF. I'd read from many sources that Barry found his falsetto with this song, but here we have the multi-instrumentalist (and harmonizer) Maurice singing the part. Robin is mesmerizing front and center in glorious voice. Barry directs from the side, keeping it all together, hitting the guitar hard, with strong back-up vocals. These were beautiful, talented men at a unique moment in contemporary music. There will never be another act to match them.
Nice comment!
Who knew Barry was a brunette before Disco Days? They were all gorgeously handsome talented men, for sure. If we could all have been leading their "Ordinary Lives"! Ever heard that song they did live in Australia? Wow!
@@Juliet-anna I kind of get that; but Barry was mainly a marijuana user, according to more than one article I read. To me, Barry looked gorked on pot in this performance. Barry looked a bit like Billy Ray Cyrus to me here. I was a Psychiatric R.N. for 20 years, but maybe he was drunk there. Mo was the identified alcoholic. Mo was sober his last 12 years after threatening to shoot his wife,and 2 children when drunk. He stayed sober after one Rehab. Robin reportedly used prescription drugs like Oxy to excess. Andy died at age 30 from a cocaine O.D. I read that Mo had some liver damage from alcohol. 1 song they did, he walked off, but looked kind of green/brown colored to me; and the brothers looked surprised Mo was walking off.
i grew up in the 70's and the Bee Gees were the bomb.
They continued to be. No other band can hold a candle to all the songs they've written for others, their brother Andy and themselves. Their talent was limitless and those harmonies were masterpieces. Rest peacefully Andy, Maurice and Robin ❤
To me they will always be the bomb
Same here!
Wow, I never saw Maurice singing falsetto alone before. That was so cool. Man, when Robin breaks out and sings his really melodic solo part before the chorus, I get chills. They were so good.
While Barry usually takes the lead of songs, it is Robin who was gifted with an utterly beautiful and range. The brothers in harmony are other worldly. While the Beatles are held up as the gold standard, The Bee Gees have touched a much broader audience.
I played the grooves off those records. My favorite is still the Sgt. Pepper soundtrack. They could have been a Beatles tribute band.
@@Lori-lp6uc they were a great, legendary band doing their own original songs, why would they settle for being a Beatles tribute band? seriously? They did look up to the Beatles when they came to Australia, because they were doing what they wanted to do. That's what encouraged them to return to the UK in 67. They do Beatles songs better than the Beatles in a lot of cases. Robin's version of Oh Darling is better than the original IMO.
@Zlata1313 Exactly. I said they could have been a Beatles cover band. I didn't say they should have been a Beatles cover band. They sang those songs to PERFECTION. Like you said; Robin's rendition of "Oh Darlin" is one of the most beautiful of a Bee Gees recordings.
@@Lori-lp6ucThere is one of the times that they host the Midnight Special and they do a Beatles medley. It's beyond crazy how amazing they do with it too. Maurice sounds like John Lennon even in some of his own works.
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST VERSION OF THIS SONG THEY HAVE EVER DONE... LOVE, LOVE , LOVE IT...
Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roberto Villegas the live version is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the studio version. I really enjoy watching them all sing together as well in the video, makes it so special... what talent !
100 million % agree.
You are so right. This is my favorite Bee Gee song and version of it. Wish I could have seen the Trio together
Saw Barry alone in Boston and he alone brought the house down.
Should have heard it LIVE, OMG. Still get chillbumps remembering that nite.
I,am 80 years,stil love the Beegees,they can make me sing and dance love them❤❤❤
Keep on dancing!
You can distinguished beautiful Maurice voice in this song and he's helping Barry with the falsetto...you are so missed Maurice and Robin
Such a funky tune.
Robin is a unique person but he has no dress sense or rhythm to the 🎶 music
We noticed the same thing.
@@barbaraheinze9406 Robin is indeed not a Michael Jackson, Prince of Fred Astair hahaha, but his clothing is allright by me.
@@barbaraheinze9406 the crazy part is, that's part of his charm. I think if he'd learned to dance, it would break the spell. 😊
100% nailed harmonies...no bands do this anymore.
This and Fanny Be Tender r my fav Bee Gee songs
Mine too, and also “how can you mend a broken heart”
Robin is nicely dressed and handsome with a unique beautiful voice! Barry loved his brothers 💛
And Barry was always easy on the eyes .. He was a hottie back in his day
Robin looks so good here just fantastic and I love this song
@@sylviakuzniewski3330 Like a golden Angel, at age 27!
I was working in a food pantry for the homeless when a Bee Gees song came on. The whole decade of the '70s came back to me in a flash. What a good time it was!
I was in Nursing School, to become an R.N. and dating my husband before we got married! We loved dancing in Disco Bars to their songs way back when! So many memories.
Which song was it?
@@JanWhorton "Stayin' Alive." I am a singer/songwriter myself who has been influenced by many bands from the '60s and '70s. Check out my music on my TH-cam channel. Thanks and take care.
Geez Barry was hot😅♨️🔥
Real instruments,real music.real emotion Awww the old days
Love to hear Maurice❤️
Yeah, Mou is so cute ❤❤❤
Doesn't matter what genre you listen to , this song is a masterpiece. The groove, rhythm section thumping, wah-wah, insane harmonies & falsettos, the mid-song slow down, then ramp it back up. A true live, sweating under the lights performance on top. Just brilliant. Can't stop the toe-tappin.............
Neither could Robin; even as the cameras panned off him. Amazing!
And sometimes you don't appreciate just how good a band is. A live performance is all it takes. I am now an obsessed Bee Gees fan. It does not get any better than this folks. 10 stars.
Robin’s voice is pure perfection. And those harmonies! Exquisite. 🎶❤
Each time, I realize how talented Maurice was..............
I love the Bee Gees so much, and this song. I'm almost 16, and I people think I'm weird for listening to "old music" such as this. I like new songs too, but old songs like this will always be the best. The way things are going right now, in another hundred years or so, all songs will be completely computer generated, including voices.
You rock ! And your music appreciation is beyond your years!!
@@kingsman8475 oh my goodness thank you so much! What a throwback to see you reply to this comment. I am now 28 years old, and still love The Bee Gees as much as ever, forever one of my favorite bands. I hope you have a wonderful day, kind stranger! ❤️
Continue to be weird! My nineteen year old son does the new computer generated stuff but admits that the old stuff was better in every way. I guess every generation needs hear their own thing and create their new sounds. They need their own identity. But musicians know what true music is, even the young ones. They know and yet....
So true. Actors are realizing it , but musicians are a little slow to the dance . AI will make them obsolete.
@@tonyhoward7004 I sure hope not! AI is the worst 😭
The best harmonizing group of all time!! Of course they are brothers! Which solidifys the title.
they have nothing on the Eagles .
Crosby Stills and Nash - Everly Brothers come to mind
I totally agree
@@PatriotSteve they were not brothers
@@markvanderstelt8999 they were not brothers.....
just remember that this is all Live...almost unheard of nowadays...they are pure genius
If I lived to be a million years old, I will never understand why so many great and talented artists have left us far too soon while scum continues to walk the earth. I wouldn’t shed a single tear if every politician and billionaire dropped stone dead. They contribute nothing good that lasts in comparison to this one song.
I've had the same thoughts a thousand times, my friend.
Wow Im so glad I saw this video! Now I can show everyone who didnt believe me that Maurice could also do those classic Bee Gees falsettos wrong!
I bet no one in the audience thought they would be a part of history
this video is almost 50 years ago and yet still watching Robin Gibb sing makes me cry and smile at the same time...the most beautifully haunting voice i have ever heard❣❣❣
I feel the same... I really love his voice his presence...... since I was a teenager... what a beautiful video...
Yo canto igual a Barry Gibb
They were so different and so perfect together. I never get tired of this video, despite the attendant melancholy. I owe you, my friends.
Nobody but Nobody writes loves songs like the Bee-Gees for they're truly the most romantic group EVER❤❤❤
One of my favorites because you hear all three voices clearly. Extreme talent. How can those people just sit there?
Falsetto at it's best!!!
Love Barry's white shirt ❤he looks so fine in it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love this soooo much! Just look how sexy Robin looks in that beautiful tan outfit! He was sooo gorgeous! Love Barry usin his chest voice, and our wonderful Maurice singing falsettos, and lending all his musical talents!!❤❤❤
Did anyone else think that Robin looked like a clone of their youngest brother Andy Gibb in that video?
TALENT
In this song our mo sings falsetto near the end n takes it, this is spectacular writing in voices smooth natural n just fantastic all 3 n were our former neighbours n they are most normal humble northern local lads from our town of Manchester n these are incredible one offs, out this world. N nice to see our mo take control n all sing high on this. Its wow. Loved since kids fabulously warm great singers to. Go mo. ❤❤❤❤ wow.👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰🫂😇😇🫂🤗🤗😇😇🤗
Still getting chills when they harmonize!!!😊
I'll never understand why people couldn't appreciate their talent. Their harmony is perfect, and their music is timeless. They even performed a capella on television many times.
I love how each Gibb got to show their talent
I was fortunate enough to see the Bee Gees when they were at their peak for the Spirits Having Flown tour back in 1979. They were phenomenal, with a stunning laser and light show, they had every fan dancing in the aisles. To this day (34 years later), I have never ever seen a better act live, with the Eagles and Santana right behind.
i’m 67 and i so wished to have met them but never got a chance to do that
To this day, is a peculiar expression when yr comment is 8 years old. But u r no less right.
They were at the peak of their performances, they gave it their all.
It was the family bloodline of those brothers that created those magnificent harmonies together!
Greatest band ever. Still listening at the age of 70! 2020
And i’m 68 and listen to them many times during the days
@@barbaraheinze9406 68 too!! Listen to them everyday.
@@wendydubois3872 I also listen to them almost all the time
Traduci in italiano
I’m 73 and a great grandmother and I listen to them every day. ❤️❤️❤️
The harmony is breathtaking
