"Bee Gees" comes from "Brothers Gibb". They were three brothers - Barry, Maurice and Robin. They had a younger fourth brother, too, named Andy who was also a singer and a pretty big star in the 70's. Sadly Andy, Maurice and Robin have all died and only Barry is still with us.
Bee Gees actually came from the initials of Barry Gibb, as well as those of speedway promoter and driver Bill Goode and radio-presenter jockey Bill Gates. (from Wikipedia)
Yes Brad & Lex, this almost defines "smooth" and "chill". Bee Gees were huge in the 70s. I am looking forward to watching you react to some of their other huge hits. They all won't be as chill as this.
Disco was SO GOOD and SO FUN. It didn't deserve the maligning it received at the time. Check out more BeeGees - such a fantastic group. Staying Alive, You Should Be Dancing, Jive Talkin'... You could listen to almost anything of theirs and not be disappointed
@@rwfrench66GenX The backlash against Disco was, some theorize, because it such broad appeal with and was a safe space for minorities, especially Black Americans and what we would now call LGBTQ people.

Disco never sucked, bro.
@@matt.coburn you don’t speak for all music lovers so you can’t proclaim disco doesn’t suck, and I’m not your bro, and I don’t want to be your bro. I was 12 years old, rebellion was on my mind, and there was finally an American metal band that could compete with the English metal bands. They did for music in the 70’s what Nirvana did in the 90’s. It was transformational! Dance music will always be around, there are good songs in every genre, there are incredible artists in every genre from every time period, but that silk and polyester dance fad didn’t last. It’s sad to some people, others could care less, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I have Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive in my iTunes movie library. I also have Grease and Xanadu. My music library has everything from Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa. I’m a heterosexual white male who has been a music fan his whole life and I showed my support for Van Halen when they hit the scene by telling people my feelings about disco, and now I’m telling the internet. I’ve paid my dues and I’ve earned the right to have a choice in what kind of music I prefer or who agrees with me or understands my reasoning.
The best disco was fantastic. Just as the best punk was great. The problem was that too many people became "only disco" or "only punk" (or only jazz, classical, metal, etc) and thought that meant they had to look down on people in the other tribes.
Brad-perceptive and analytical, Lex-creative and emotive. You two are very intelligent and complement each other well. Thanks for letting me rediscover the best music with you, you're my fave reactors, keep it up!
CHILL! lol! A timeless song, great harmonies! Very peaceful and calm listening. Thank you, Brad and Lex for your REACTION to How Deep Is Your Love by the Bee Gees!
Me too! When Lex said that I found myself thinking Brad should have replied "She can't have been that bad" or something like that. Always a good idea to stay in your mother-in-law's good book! Mom is probably watching. Brad missed the opportunity to score some points.
This group is just wonderful, thier songs are beautiful, and the harmony and falsettos they can hit is mind boggling. They have such a catagory of songs and every song is great , They are just pure talent
Their song Too Much Heaven is amazing! These 3 brothers (and a 4th) had been harmonizing since they were children and they did it so well they made it sound like one really complex voice. Music videos were in their infancy and many of theirs are laughable by modern standards - but no one can outsing the Brothers Gibb!
Everybody who thinks they're listening to "Staying Alive" for the first time realize they've heard it before, one of the top most iconic songs of all time... and so many have used it in commercials. So, yes, I'd like to see them check it out and watch them say, "Oh! THESE guys did this song?!"
I "came of age" during this era...disco. (Yes, I also loved classic rock, southern rock, etc.) But, I LOVED to dance to my Bee Gee boys!!! The dance moves, the lights, the nice clothes...everything was just "magical" back then. And we ALL got along! We were okay with one another. I am so disheartened to see us becoming so divided again. I thought we had truly gotten over all that.
I am a 73 year old fat white guy and I enjoy seeing young people discover the greatness of 60's and 70's music that I grew up with. I watched many many of these groups live. It is satisfyingly to see. It actually gives me a warm feeling in my gut. Thanks. I appreciate you.
The Beegees are second to none. Such a great song for today's modern world. We need more true lyricist in the music world today. Check out You should be dancing, Staying alive or Night Fever. They ruled the disco 👍
You guys are so great. Really enjoying watching. Lex your enthusiasm is irresistible! Theres a pretty good documentary about the Bee Gees that came out fairly recently. Aren't their voices amazing? Brothers harmonizing makes a special sound.
A deep discography for these guys. Try the beautiful "Too Much Heaven", and "More Than A Woman", then try the other side of love with "Love So Right", and "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart". Then of course my dance favorites, "Night Fever", "Stayin' Alive", "You Should Be Dancin' ", and the songs they wrote for Yvonne Elliman "If I Can't Have You" and "Love Me". Finally listen to that wonderful song they wrote for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream". Lots of hits these guys. Bubble guts? No man. We didn't say bubble guts then.
The Bee Gees have a huge catalogue that is worth exploring. There are timeless messages in all of their songs. So little of their career was disco and Staying Alive & Night Fever were written in France but their manager used them for the Saturday Night Fever movie.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 62YO Dig that rabbit hole 🕳 They got so many good songs 🎵 1 Fanny ( be tender with my love) 2 How can you mend ( a broken heart 💔) 3 To much heaven 4 Staying' Alive ... ... Keep the good work ✌
YEAH! Fanny be tender gets to me every time - Here in the UK Fanny is a rude word as well as a very old fashioned name, but it doesn't stop that song breaking my heart every time I hear the chorus and the lift into the chorus and that key changed chorus where the vocals go sky high ... it;s just tremendous - but was only a hit in America I think for obvious reasons - Fanny means vagina here.
Only the Bee Gees may make a music video of them standing in a circle and then walking around whilst singing, and it still be a fantastic video. No bells and whistles, just their pure talent.
A very deep rabbit hole... they wrote over 1000 songs! They started performing as young boys in 1955. Barry, the taller one, is the oldest brother, the other two, Robin (long hair) and Maurice were twins. They also had a younger brother, Andy, who had a solo career in the 80's. All but Barry have passed away now. They took over the world in the Disco era, but I prefer their late 60's - early 70's material. I recommend, "I Started A Joke" (1968), a song they originally wrote for Otis Redding, but he passed away before he could do it so they kept it for themselves.
The BeeGees have probably the largest catalog of music across all genres and wrote songs for many other artists. You would be shocked to learn what all they wrote. Keep listening though and you'll see
Minus all their live albums and a million compilation albums I would say Alice Cooper has way more original tracks across 28 studio albums and The BeeGees have 22 studio albums. 95% of people would rather listen to Cooper. He has way better music.
@@joshuamasserant8215 everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I like a few of Cooper's songs but, sorry, his songwriting doesn't compare. My opinion
The Bee Gees are amazing yeah I just discovered them wore your husband has but they have so many hits unbelievable their voices are so beautiful when they harmonize just amazing
when my friend's uncle died, one of his dying wishes is that they play the Bee Gee's at his funeral.... so they did but, they forgot rewind the cassette. Bee Gee's came on singing "AH AH AH AH STAYIN AlIVE! STAYIN ALIVE!" lmfao
It takes me back so strongly I get chills! I really love this song, it’s def one of their best!! Barry actually has a strong deep voice too we get a hint of it here, such a beautiful voice, super talent, all the brothers including Andy. I can’t believe all but one is gone 😞
You've grown and matured in a way that you can now appreciate the beauty of this song and others like it. All of the Bee Gee's music is beautiful. I also love their brother, Andy Gibb's music as well.
Staying alive, more than a woman, night fever and so many more. The soundtrack to Saturday night fever!!!
Omg yes! This one is not a good first song
Tragedy is a favourite
Over the years, More Than A Woman has become the most enduring song of them, to my ears. And the one performed by Yvonne Elliman, If I Can't Have You.
@@onsesejoo2605 ive always preferred the Bee Gees version of If I Can’t Have You, personally
Yes please listen to these tracks! 100%
"Bee Gees" comes from "Brothers Gibb". They were three brothers - Barry, Maurice and Robin. They had a younger fourth brother, too, named Andy who was also a singer and a pretty big star in the 70's. Sadly Andy, Maurice and Robin have all died and only Barry is still with us.
This person is so croecct Yes Barry with the beard is the only beegee left
And a sister who is also a great singer
They are such a beautiful family, my sister dated Barry's son many years ago. May God bless Andy, Robin and Maurice Rip🙏
Bee Gees actually came from the initials of Barry Gibb, as well as those of speedway promoter and driver Bill Goode and radio-presenter jockey Bill Gates. (from Wikipedia)
@@FarzynoMusic I had always heard it stood for “Brothers Gibb” but, yeah, looks like I was misinformed.
Can't believe this is your first. You have a large catalog of BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) to catch up on!
Lex did say she remembers her mom listening to this. I'm curious if she is going to recognize their other stuff.
Speaking to the choir, dude
@@tomrockwood851 ??
Lots of melodies waiting for them
“‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be” Very apt for today’s world. Right on, Brad.
Yeah. Stop the forced Vaccination crap
@@angelone1839 say it again for the people at the back, they ain't hear you!
@@libbaT STOP THE FORCED VACCINATION CRAP!!!! There lol
@@angelone1839 lol
@@angelone1839 Amen!
Great choice. Give “Too Much Heaven” a try if you want to hear some more great harmonies.
Most of their songs are fantastic
They were basically harmonizing together from early childhood.
Bee Gees were as huge to Disco as Led Zeppelin was to rock One of their best that doesn't get enough spotlight is Lonely Days! Classic Harmonies!!
That's one of the really good non-disco songs I mentioned, as well as How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.
Forgot all about that song… THANKS for reminding me!! Gonna go listen to it now.
Bee gees are the best
Brad looked to be in a trance before Lex hit the pause button lol. BeeGee's are amazing to be fair
The lead singer Barry Gibb said this is his favorite song out of all the songs they wrote & sang. Disco!
"Too Much Heaven" is another great one you should hear.
Great reaction again! 👍
too much heaven is a must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its in top 3 best songs ull ever hear!!!!
like a wart on your nose; you've had it so long, its hard to imagine life without it .....
Interesting fact about Barry Gibb. He and Michael Jackson were good friends for a long time and wrote songs together.
Michael was also the godfather to one of his sons.
"Too Much Heaven" is essential Bee Gees. I made my wife listen to it with me not too long ago when I found out she had never heard it.
Yes Brad & Lex, this almost defines "smooth" and "chill". Bee Gees were huge in the 70s. I am looking forward to watching you react to some of their other huge hits. They all won't be as chill as this.
Staying Alive yeah!!!
Yeah, this wasnt disco. It was a slow dance in between disco.
It was just a slow dance , just getting the crowd ready for Disco dancing Lol
The Bee Gees were so so so casual and Cool ❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Disco was SO GOOD and SO FUN. It didn't deserve the maligning it received at the time. Check out more BeeGees - such a fantastic group. Staying Alive, You Should Be Dancing, Jive Talkin'... You could listen to almost anything of theirs and not be disappointed
I was 12 years old when Van Halen 1 came out in 1978 and as I finished listening to Eruption I wrote “Disco Sucks” on the back of my suede jacket!

They have some really good non-disco stuff.
Definitely! They had their first success in the 60s, long before the disco era. Different style, but great songs and harmonies!
1:40 "background music to your youth" that is such a perfect way to put it

One of my favorites! This is one of my go-to chord progressions to play when I pick up my acoustic guitar
My Mom LOVED them, Olivia Newton John/ and other Disco groups and tunes back then, so I heard a LOT of it. But I remained faithful to rock. ☮
Their song" Too Much Heaven." Must listen. It will blow you away.
Okay, if you guys haven't heard Staying Alive by them.... You need to listen to Staying Alive lol
They’ve definitely heard it, i mean how can you not have but they probably don’t know it’s by the bee gees.

Thanks guys. Love your reaction.
i remember couple skating to this song on Saturday nights , we had so much fun growing up during this time
Reminds me of Christmas 1977...I was 7....love it

They were huge!!!!!!
First time and such an interesting choice!! Gotta love the Gibbs Boys!
Yall are absolutely delightful...peace from Florida!
Yooo...that record skip edit 😂🤣😂 y'all are the best! 🙏💯

Bee Gees. They are on another level GOAT.
These brothers have written over 1000 recorded songs. Some of them #1 hits for other artists.
Honestly, people were kinder in the seventies than today, not because of this song, just the way the times were.
Yeah. This...is a great tune.
BeeBees can sing a good mood....
Ahh, The Bee Gee's... one of my guilty pleasures. Great music. Once a "Death Before Disco" guy who now enjoys some peaceful vibes! Live, Love, Peace!
They harmonize like no other so great the way they sound together
Never let the bad apples ruin your joy. You guys are awesome!
They sang so beautifully ❤️
The scary thing is they sounded just that good live!
If not better
Many a songwriter will have wished they wrote that song. A true smooth classic.
Gotta be Brad's favorite song/video so far! lol...is funny when they look in the camera from the side lol
This song hit #1 in December 1977, from the huge album "Saturday Night Fever," and then pandamonium ensued. 1978 was a huge for this album!
Hard not to like this. Feels good and very enjoyable.
Always enjoy Lex’s smooth swaying reactions.
👍👍
Joy to the world Lexi! With ya girl! So positive. Love it very much ❤️
The Bee Gees are amazing yeah I just discovered them wore your husband has but they have so many hits unbelievable their voices are so beautiful when they harmonize just amazing
For love songs... doesn't get much better than this, if at all. 🥰🥰🥰
From the “Saturday Night Fever” Soundtrack. A great song! Vastly underrated group.
You two had a nice little bop going on there ,totally in sync as well ,loved it
I get it. I remember my mom playing this song as well and it brings back that feeling of childhood for me.
The Bee Gees have been around since the late 50's.
We belong to you and me.. What a great message..
The Bee Gees were the greatest ever! Their music touches your heart and soul! Watch Too much Heaven!! Your going down the rabbit hole!!
"Led Zepplin never wrote music everybody liked. they left that to the Bee Gees." Wayne Cambell
the dance scene in Sat Nite Fever to this is great... and the whole film is good
You HAVE to listen and watch the video by them “Too Much Heaven”! The brothers are amazing and Barry has the voice of an angel!! It’s crazy!
when my friend's uncle died, one of his dying wishes is that they play the Bee Gee's at his funeral.... so they did but, they forgot rewind the cassette.
Bee Gee's came on singing "AH AH AH AH STAYIN AlIVE! STAYIN ALIVE!" lmfao
It takes me back so strongly I get chills! I really love this song, it’s def one of their best!! Barry actually has a strong deep voice too we get a hint of it here, such a beautiful voice, super talent, all the brothers including Andy. I can’t believe all but one is gone 😞
Awesome Guys!! Pick any one of their songs, so many hits.
This is what we called in those days Good Music...! They have sooo many great hits, and wrote so much great hits for others....
Enjoying your music selections, your interesting reactions & opinions. Lexi is easy on the eyes.
'Jive talkin' and 'Stayin Alive'!! Paaaleeeze! 🙌
My earliest memory of hearing them is on the movie Short Circuit when Johnny 5 was dancing with Stephanie and singing "More Than A Woman"
You've grown and matured in a way that you can now appreciate the beauty of this song and others like it. All of the Bee Gee's music is beautiful. I also love their brother, Andy Gibb's music as well.
