@@snowflakehunterthe single of 1978 was recorded with 9 sets of their voices and this was released on the album the next year. But I thought this video was the UNICEF concert they did live. Would be strange if they were lip syncing to the official track while the orchestra pretended to play their instruments.
@@davidplanet3919 this obviously is not the UNICEF version. This is an official music video. As with all official videos this was done in a studio. Multiple tracks are always done and then they blend the track together to make it sound as good as it does. Get yourself an education on how this is done. I have worked in the broadcasting industry for over 15 years and I know exactly how all of this is done. Get educated.
Sometimes, newer fans don’t realize that the “BeeGees” are 3 brothers. Maurice and Robin are twins (the shorter two). Barry, usually in the middle and taller of the three is the older brother. BeeGee’s…..or BG’s, stands for “Brothers Gibb”. Their last name is Gibb. They had another brother named Andy who passed away years ago. Sadly, Maurice and Robin have both also passed away, leaving only Barry left. This was one of the greatest performing groups of a wonderful era. You should listen to more of their very extensive library. Every song is perfectly performed. No auto tune for these guys.
Most of what you say is true. To me they are the most talented group that ever existed. However, the name Bee Gees came from the oldest brother Barry, and their Australian producers Bill Goode and Bill Gates. All with the initials B.G..
Totally agree,there were so much authentic talent and actual instrumentation when it came to the arrangements,back in the day,that we did take all of that for granted
Auto tune didn’t exist back then. In those days if you didn’t have talent you weren’t allowed anywhere near a mic. What a shame that music today is in the state it’s in. Yes there are some amazing artists today like Chris Stapleton, Aurora, Gary Clark Jr etc but overall music today can’t touch the music back then.
@@Ray1969.I actually think auto tune is the worst thing to ever happen to the music industry; and especially live music. Since few of the singers today can stay on pitch live they started to add more and more choreography to live shows. Now they're more akin to musical theater than just music. Such a shame but I guess that's now what concertgoers want to see.
@@roadkill7314 couldn’t agree more but I think concertgoers don’t know what they are missing so it doesn’t bother them. If you took a bunch of todays concertgoers and transported them back in time to see people like Queen, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk Railroad etc they would have a hard time accepting todays “concerts.”
Kathy here, I am 68 years old, and it brings a smile to my face to see the younger generation discover the music my generation grew up with. Thanks for the review and check out more of their songs. And yes, no auto tune with these brothers. They started singing together when the youngest brother was like 3! They honed their craft from a very young age. Awesome and will never be dupicated.
Eu tenho 26 anos e escuto bee gees desde criança, fico muito feliz quando alguém não tem noção do foram eles ficam pressionados com tamanho talento, que tudo que eles faziam era puro talento, sem mixagem, sem qualquer recurso tecnológico. Me arrepio até hoje com as músicas deles e fico me perguntando "como eles podia fazer isso com tanta naturalidade ?"vozes angelicais. Eternos... Tem um DVD deles em 79 especial Tv 79 que é ótimo e sim ao vivo eles era melhores...
Loved the reaction. You've just heard the greatest 3 part harmony in human history. Quincy Jones said, " those 3 brothers, singing together, have an instrument no one else has"
@@MaddyReactions they were born in the Isle of Man moving to Manchester before moving to Australia they have made 100's of songs for other artists too so glad you enjoyed them
I grew up with this great group. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
Yes, those are their pre-disco and pre-falsetto hits. Whole different style from their later work. Worth a listen. This song was recorded in 1978, so Barry is singing falsetto, but I wouldn't say it's a part of the disco trend.
@@Spazzmatazzz Well, the movie Saturday Night Fever and the soundtrack album (which is mostly Bee Gees) came out in '77. Barry had been doing some falsetto even prior to that. This is in the thick of that era. I'm just saying I wouldn't define this particular song as Disco.
999 songs to go. No autotune. 3 English Brothers. Deep rabbit hole. Suggest next How Deep is your Love, More than a Woman, Love you inside and out, Love so Right, Nights on Broadway, Fanny be tender with my love, Jive Talking and, of course, Staying Alive...that's just a few from the 70s in a 40 year career. They wrote all of them too. Have fun😊
@@diverdown631 They were actually born on the Isle of Man which is off the coast of England which makes them British. They didn't move to Australia until they were teenagers.
Guinness World Records lists Gibb as the second highest-grossing songwriter in history behind McCartney. Gibb's career spans more than 60 years. He and his brothers were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of the Bee Gees. They are the only group in pop history to have written, produced and recorded six consecutive #1 hits. They also had 16 Grammy nominations and nine Grammy wins.
The Bee Gees had an amazing career--reinventing their style two or three times. Most people remember them as a pillar of the Disco genre, especially their soundtrack for the blockbuster movie "Saturday Night Fever!"
@@MaddyReactions Then you're already familiar with "Staying Alive"...but have you ever seen the official video of the Bee Gees performing it? th-cam.com/video/fNFzfwLM72c/w-d-xo.html Also from the disco era, you are probably familiar with ABBA -- but have you seen their performance of top hit "Dancing Queen" ( th-cam.com/video/xFrGuyw1V8s/w-d-xo.html )?
Yes they can really sing and they have many voices. No band can duplicate them they was one of a kind bands. They had beautiful genes and voices. I love Mo, Robin and Barry. Plus I love their youngest brother Andy Gibb. All 4 guys had those beautiful genes and everything that came with it.
This was done live. No editing. No autotune. No retakes. Pure talent. On top of this, all of the proceeds went to a charity of their choice. Also, all that talent in one family. Their voices blended perfectly.
I always just loved how Robin stood there with his hands on his hips with his cheeky smile. Seriously, how much talent did these brothers have. They are one of the greatest singers/songwriters of all time 😀
Pure Raw Talent... Not those Self Proclaimed Superstars with their Computer Voices nowadays.... Just Three Immaculate Voices and a Topclass Bunch of Musicians
There was no autotune when the Brothers Gibb recorded this in the 70s. You had to have real talent back in those days. From left to right, they are Robin, Barry & Maurice. Robin and Maurice were fraternal twins, both deceased now, as is a younger brother, Andy. Andy was invited to join the Bee Gees, but opted for a solo career, which turned out nicely. He passed away at a very young age. Barry, the oldest, is the only one still with us. They charted songs from the 1960s-1990s. Incredibly talented brothers.
The Bee Gees encouraged Andy to have a successful solo career and he was planning to join the Bee Gees but died before that could happen. The Bee Gees wrote and backed up several of Andy's songs.
Ah yes, The Brothers Gibb. 😄 They have a lot of great songs in their catalogue, Maddy. They did such a great job of using their vibrato together to sculpt their songs. Really good stuff.
The Bee Gees were a main part of the disco era, back when we used to all go rollerskating! ❤And by the way, they didn’t really use autotune in the 70s and 80s, that was pure singing!
No auto tune no voice over no lip syncing !! Raw talent ! They harmonized so good they sound like one person ! 19 number 1 hits ! Read that again !! 19 !! Check out the early stuff words , Gotta get a message to you, I started a joke, run to me, to love somebody, Massachusetts, I could go on and on ! These guys were unbelievable
@@MaddyReactions Their actually British…no auto tune - however, vocal stacking were used in this performance . It was their tight high falsetto harmonies that had millions in a choke hold. Checkout “HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE” another massive, smooth R&B hit by them.
@@gavinmcleod7446Nah, we'll claim them mate. :) They formed the Bee Gees in Queensland, Australia - so they're ours. We might loan them to the UK every second weekend if they promise not to whinge too much about the Ashes.
@@TheNotedHero Would’ve had no international success had they stayed in Australia and not returned to the UK 🇬🇧 - your music scene was too backward and immature according to Barry. Their British first and foremost and more American than they are Australian….had massive success in the USA 🇺🇸 where Barry has lived for more than 40 yrs . If you convicts aren’t ball tampering you’re being unsportsmanlike with your stumping’s… when does it end with you lot.🤣
To know for all those who didn't know because I was on this shoot at the time and Travolta almost didn't make the film because 1 month before the shoot he had just lost his girlfriend in an accident and was still very affected and he wanted to make the film as a tribute to her...(and even if there were difficult filming conditions because he was already a star in New York at the time because he was in a TV series filmed there popular, that's why we were filming in the street at 4-5am because too many people came to see the filming).. here's some cool information to know...
You are correct it was in the late 70’s and early 80’s when the country was happy😥 What beautiful musicians that their harmonies can never be duplicated
Love the reactions on this song from younger women. All money raised from this song was donated to UNICEF and still providing money. They raised millions!
This is NOT autotune. Wasn't even around then. They are three brothers singing falsetto-a method of voice production used by male singers, especially tenors, to sing notes higher than their normal range. :) I grew up in the 70s and took this wonderful band for granted. They are MAGICAL! Thank you, Bee Gees!
An amazing british group. They were born on the Isle of man and then moved to Manchester uk until the late 50s then their parents moved to Queensland in Australia. Then the group decided to move to the USA and thats when things started to change for them and had hit after hit. So many hits over the decades not just for them but writing songs for lots of well known singers.
This song like the other from the super cult film Saturday Night Fever its 1977 ok cool.... and this song was with the orchestra of 100 musicians a wow sound... what a beautiful memory... kissss..
If you dive into this rabbithole, then you have a lot,lot to do.....It's so sad that only one (Barry Gibb, with the high voice) is left today... R.I.P.
All 3 had spectacular falsetto ranges - though Robin (on the left) also possessed an almost ethereal vibrato to his voice. For the purest sense of their talent, seek out their "One Night Only" show. In the middle they did a medley of a number of their songs (and they wrote hits for others as well as all their own) with just the 3 of them standing around a single microphone (much like this video) and a guitar. During a snippet of "Knights on Broadway" there's a spine-chilling harmony with Maurice (the one on the right in this video) doing the falsetto and shortly after as they step away from the mic a little you'll notice Robin turn and give a nod "nice one" in appreciation.
No offense to the young and uninformed. THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS AUTOTUNE IN THE 70'S OR 80'S. If you couldn't sing in tune you didn’t sing period. 😮 Just love when youngins finally hear our music 🎶 youngins finally
Right you are! In those days, you were either good or gone--survival of the fittest! Today, "singers" don't need talent to succeed. Good looks, autotune, and a big promotion budget is all it takes...and the result compares poorly with the "golden era" of popular music: '50s through '80s.
No auto tune, no filters, live, no retakes...the Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees) were incredibly talented. The 2 on the outside were twins, Maurice and Robin, and Barry was just high note insane. Unfortunately the twins died much too soon from medical issues 😢. Just Puck any of their songs, you'll be impressed. A must do is Staying Alive.
Just came across your channel by accident, but happy that I did. First, good luck to you and the channel. Now, regarding the Bee Gees ... you likely have heard some of their hits but may not have known it was them singing. Some other comments below mine have already mentioned several of their tracks. These guys were one of the biggest bands in the 70s. Barry Gibb (the main singer there in the center) is the king of falsetto. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the "standard" people compare that vocal tone against ... or at least one of them. You are correct, no auto tune. That didn't exist until ... like the late 90s? Early 2000s? This is just raw, pure talent. Oh, and another thing you should go back and watch it again. You will see that all three of these guys are just relaxed singing the song. Barry was like swag personified in his day. Him just rocking to the music, thumbs in his bell bottoms and then casually leaning forward to sing. I mean, come on. Anyway, I wish you nothing but success!
No auto tune existed at that time. They donated all the proceeds of this song to UNICEF. They were not only talented singers, songwriters and producers but great humanitarians. Another example of this is their song Blue Island (for children of war torn Bosnia), and South Dakota morning written because of devastation caused by wildfires. Check out Medley in 1989 Melbourne. ❤

You're absolutely correct! NOPE, it can't be auto-tuned ..... because there was no such thing as auto-tune back then -- thank God! Singers could (and I know this will be hard to believe for younger people today) ACTUALLY SING!
Auto tune didn’t exist back then it was much harder to make it in the music business…it was based on raw talent…I’m from the 70s/80s and I believe we had the best music from The Bee Gees to Michael Jackson
You should really hear their older stuff like 'I started a Joke' 'I've gotta get a message to you' 'Massachusetts' or one from the 80's called 'You Win Again'. Can't go wrong with their live versions :)
This is pure talent. Please react to more of their hits. There is a plethora of songs to choose from. This was recorded to support UNICEF, which is a children’s support organization. They donated all proceeds to this cause. So far it has made over $10 million dollars for the charity.
Barry oldest brother lead singer Maurice on right and Robin on left are twins they also have a younger brother Andy who had a solo career. They became huge with “Stayin Alive” In the Movie Saturday Night Fever.
Welcome to a gigantic fan club! You just stumbled onto the closest song to perfection, written and performed by the greatest group in the history of music. But don't take my word for it as I am kinda biased lol.... instead, just look them up for the stats and the awards they have received and all the songs they have written for themselves and other popular artist ;)
When they released this, all us guys made fun of their voices. I must say though, this is what you played on your "8 track" tape player when you wanted panties on the gear shift.
Love Love Love! Being from that time, I used to war with Disco. Preferring the rock of led Zeppelin to the Bee Gees. I really am respecting them since adulthood. Thanks for the reaction and video
Pleasure to watch your reaction to the Bee Gees 😍 Barry middle was 9yrs old twins were 6 when they start singing in unison, wow that himself is just amazing.. Their mother and father were musicians. They also have an older sister who did sing with them in their early days, but decided it wasn’t for her and 4 brother Andy Gibb but much younger than all of them became a forced to reckon with all on his own sadly, he died at 30 years old, and of course the twins have passed their sister still alive. Mother and father have passed on… rest in peace.. Amazing family of talent, every single one of them !!! Barry has been married to the same lady for 50 years. That’s impressive as well.❤️ They wrote songs for Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Dolly Parton, Samantha Sang and many more songs through out there the people have no clue that they wrote… I hope that Barry sees how amazing people have reacted to their gift in love especially this song has been very popular with the young folks. He has great meaning again bless you all.
No auto tune or pitch correct - far too early - you just had to get it right else no work. Look at the way they record, 3 men to 1 mic, absolutely no margin for error there. But they were the Bee Gees they got it right.
Maddy, this was 1979...the Bee Gees 1st mega hit, and it was MEGA after the disco era songs....these guys are just too awesome, and the studio they are recording in, right there, is the famous Criteria Studios in North Miami Beach....they recorded the whole Saturday Night Fever album there. Barry still lives with his bride of over 50 years in their LA Gorce (the name of the neighborhood in Miami Beach) mansion....it's beautiful !!!! I live in a western suburb of Miami
Before the BeeGees were a disco group they used to sing ballads like My favorite "I just got to Get a Message to You" and "I Started a Joke" Thanks, Rick
done in the 70s... LONG before auto tune... back when you actually had to have talent and be able to sing... musicians were CRAFTSMEN.. they made music in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and 2000s. One left... STILL AT IT..
Maddy about one of the most dominant singing groups of all time: "They CAN SING""! Just joking! The Bee Gees absolutely owned the Disco era, and the movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta cemented them as living legends. Their back-to-back dozen of #1 hits were so overplayed that there was eventually a backlash against disco, and they had to write #1 hits for other artists! Everything these brothers touched turned to gold, for a long, long time.
There wasn’t Autotune in the 70s. This is just talent and Live vocals. This song brings back so many memories.
Amazing

Platforms are in again!!!
Great reaction as always. You are correct, no auto tune. Auto Tune was invented in 1997, the Bee Gee's recorded this song in 1978.
Even if auto tune had been available when this song was recorded, they wouldn't have needed it. You just can't improve on perfection.

When this song came about, autotune was not there for another two decades.
In those days there was no autotune... talent was needed.
No auto tune back in the day. Just real singers ❤️
Barry's exquisite FALSETTO always weakens knees.....
If only his pants weren't so tight.... the world would have missed out on this.
No auto tune no voice over no lip syncing !! Raw talent ! They harmonized so good they sound like one person ! 19 number 1 hits ! Read that again !! 19 !! Check out the early stuff words , Gotta get a message to you, I started a joke, run to me, to love somebody, Massachusetts, I could go on and on ! These guys were unbelievable
9 NINE NUEN NIO 9 number 1s according to billboard
I don't think I've heard anybody say they hate listening to the bee gees ever, they're a great Aussie success story!
So amazing
@@MaddyReactions Their actually British…no auto tune - however, vocal stacking were used in this performance . It was their tight high falsetto harmonies that had millions in a choke hold. Checkout “HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE” another massive, smooth R&B hit by them.
@@gavinmcleod7446Nah, we'll claim them mate. :) They formed the Bee Gees in Queensland, Australia - so they're ours. We might loan them to the UK every second weekend if they promise not to whinge too much about the Ashes.
@@TheNotedHeroGood one.
@@TheNotedHero Would’ve had no international success had they stayed in Australia and not returned to the UK 🇬🇧 - your music scene was too backward and immature according to Barry. Their British first and foremost and more American than they are Australian….had massive success in the USA 🇺🇸 where Barry has lived for more than 40 yrs . If you convicts aren’t ball tampering you’re being unsportsmanlike with your stumping’s… when does it end with you lot.🤣
To know for all those who didn't know because I was on this shoot at the time and Travolta almost didn't make the film because 1 month before the shoot he had just lost his girlfriend in an accident and was still very affected and he wanted to make the film as a tribute to her...(and even if there were difficult filming conditions because he was already a star in New York at the time because he was in a TV series filmed there popular, that's why we were filming in the street at 4-5am because too many people came to see the filming).. here's some cool information to know...
Yes, growing up in the 80s, all music was really this way, live, no auto tune, you actually had to know how to sing
You are correct it was in the late 70’s and early 80’s when the country was happy😥
What beautiful musicians that their harmonies can never be duplicated
🤍🤍🤍
No autotune, the 70's produced some of the best music ever written and performed. It was true talent.
Auto Tune didn't exist in 1978 so yes this is their real voices.
Love the reactions on this song from younger women. All money raised from this song was donated to UNICEF and still providing money. They raised millions!
This is NOT autotune. Wasn't even around then. They are three brothers singing falsetto-a method of voice production used by male singers, especially tenors, to sing notes higher than their normal range. :) I grew up in the 70s and took this wonderful band for granted. They are MAGICAL! Thank you, Bee Gees!
They was the top 10 with there song to there are the best singer
An amazing british group. They were born on the Isle of man and then moved to Manchester uk until the late 50s then their parents moved to Queensland in Australia. Then the group decided to move to the USA and thats when things started to change for them and had hit after hit. So many hits over the decades not just for them but writing songs for lots of well known singers.
Oh wow!
We Aussies have claimed them as our own!
@@RushiAntonGood move
@@RushiAnton lol that's up to you but they are still british so never mind 😁
@@cindylewis1420 yeah nah they're British born Aussies now! :-)
No auto tune back then. Just pure talent.
Magnificent
The Beegees' ballads are fascinating.🥰
This song like the other from the super cult film Saturday Night Fever its 1977 ok cool.... and this song was with the orchestra of 100 musicians a wow sound... what a beautiful memory... kissss..
If you dive into this rabbithole, then you have a lot,lot to do.....It's so sad that only one (Barry Gibb, with the high voice) is left today... R.I.P.
So sad
Ladies & Gentlemen...the greatest harmony group of ALL TIME....THE BEE GEES.
💯💯
Thanks, Maddy. I thought you would like this because of their harmonies. Cool reaction!
Love it!!
All 3 had spectacular falsetto ranges - though Robin (on the left) also possessed an almost ethereal vibrato to his voice. For the purest sense of their talent, seek out their "One Night Only" show. In the middle they did a medley of a number of their songs (and they wrote hits for others as well as all their own) with just the 3 of them standing around a single microphone (much like this video) and a guitar. During a snippet of "Knights on Broadway" there's a spine-chilling harmony with Maurice (the one on the right in this video) doing the falsetto and shortly after as they step away from the mic a little you'll notice Robin turn and give a nod "nice one" in appreciation.
Definitely!!
No offense to the young and uninformed. THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS AUTOTUNE IN THE 70'S OR 80'S. If you couldn't sing in tune you didn’t sing period. 😮
Just love when youngins finally hear our music 🎶 youngins finally
So amazing!
Right you are! In those days, you were either good or gone--survival of the fittest! Today, "singers" don't need talent to succeed. Good looks, autotune, and a big promotion budget is all it takes...and the result compares poorly with the "golden era" of popular music: '50s through '80s.
No auto tune, no filters, live, no retakes...the Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees) were incredibly talented. The 2 on the outside were twins, Maurice and Robin, and Barry was just high note insane. Unfortunately the twins died much too soon from medical issues 😢. Just Puck any of their songs, you'll be impressed. A must do is Staying Alive.
Just came across your channel by accident, but happy that I did. First, good luck to you and the channel.
Now, regarding the Bee Gees ... you likely have heard some of their hits but may not have known it was them singing. Some other comments below mine have already mentioned several of their tracks. These guys were one of the biggest bands in the 70s. Barry Gibb (the main singer there in the center) is the king of falsetto. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the "standard" people compare that vocal tone against ... or at least one of them.
You are correct, no auto tune. That didn't exist until ... like the late 90s? Early 2000s? This is just raw, pure talent. Oh, and another thing you should go back and watch it again. You will see that all three of these guys are just relaxed singing the song. Barry was like swag personified in his day. Him just rocking to the music, thumbs in his bell bottoms and then casually leaning forward to sing. I mean, come on.
Anyway, I wish you nothing but success!
🤍
No auto tune existed at that time. They donated all the proceeds of this song to UNICEF. They were not only talented singers, songwriters and producers but great humanitarians. Another example of this is their song Blue Island (for children of war torn Bosnia), and South Dakota morning written because of devastation caused by wildfires. Check out Medley in 1989 Melbourne. ❤
Wow
Yes sweety it's the real deal.

@@MaddyReactions Thank you for your Kind response , Me At almost 60 and A Lover of Music in General my Knowledge is Quite extensive across Many Genres of Music from Soft & Hard Rock , Country , Classical & Operas with& Without lyrics such as
Johann Sebastian Bach ( Air) from 1068 no lyrics very relaxing
John Murphy ( Surface of the Sun ) 2007 ECT, ECT...........
Man + Woman = true love!
I rest my case.
This performance took place around 1979. Auto-Tune was introduced around 1997. Enough said..
You're absolutely correct! NOPE, it can't be auto-tuned ..... because there was no such thing as auto-tune back then -- thank God! Singers could (and I know this will be hard to believe for younger people today) ACTUALLY SING!
Autotune was released in 1997 and the first song that it was used in was Cher's Believe in 1998. Too Much Heaven is from 1978.
Auto tune didn’t exist back then it was much harder to make it in the music business…it was based on raw talent…I’m from the 70s/80s and I believe we had the best music from The Bee Gees to Michael Jackson
You should really hear their older stuff like 'I started a Joke' 'I've gotta get a message to you' 'Massachusetts' or one from the 80's called 'You Win Again'. Can't go wrong with their live versions :)
Ola eres mui joven pero ami megusta por k yo tengo 65 años i yo se quien son los billis sos una diosa piva segi asi por fabor te quiero muchooo❤❤❤❤❤
This is pure talent. Please react to more of their hits. There is a plethora of songs to choose from. This was recorded to support UNICEF, which is a children’s support organization. They donated all proceeds to this cause. So far it has made over $10 million dollars for the charity.
Barry oldest brother lead singer
Maurice on right and Robin on left are twins they also have a younger brother Andy who had a solo career.
They became huge with “Stayin Alive”
In the Movie Saturday Night Fever.
Auto tune did not exist when the Bee Gees sang
Welcome to a gigantic fan club! You just stumbled onto the closest song to perfection, written and performed by the greatest group in the history of music. But don't take my word for it as I am kinda biased lol.... instead, just look them up for the stats and the awards they have received and all the songs they have written for themselves and other popular artist ;)
Auto tune didn't exist then
Please react to Celine Dionne singing
“Immortality” with The Bee Gees written by Barry. Their last name is Gibb. Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees)
When they released this, all us guys made fun of their voices. I must say though, this is what you played on your "8 track" tape player when you wanted panties on the gear shift.
Another masterpiece of Bee Gees is ‘How Deep Is Your Love'
th-cam.com/video/XpqqjU7u5Yc/w-d-xo.html
Love Love Love! Being from that time, I used to war with Disco. Preferring the rock of led Zeppelin to the Bee Gees. I really am respecting them since adulthood. Thanks for the reaction and video
Pleasure to watch your reaction to the Bee Gees 😍
Barry middle was 9yrs old twins were 6 when they start singing in unison, wow that himself is just amazing.. Their mother and father were musicians. They also have an older sister who did sing with them in their early days, but decided it wasn’t for her and 4 brother Andy Gibb but much younger than all of them became a forced to reckon with all on his own sadly, he died at 30 years old, and of course the twins have passed their sister still alive. Mother and father have passed on… rest in peace..
Amazing family of talent, every single one of them !!!
Barry has been married to the same lady for 50 years. That’s impressive as well.❤️
They wrote songs for Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Dolly Parton, Samantha Sang and many more songs through out there the people have no clue that they wrote…
I hope that Barry sees how amazing people have reacted to their gift in love especially this song has been very popular with the young folks. He has great meaning again bless you all.
There's some "stacking" for a fuller sound, but it's all them with no auto tune.
I’ve got chills, they’re multiplying.
No auto tune or pitch correct - far too early - you just had to get it right else no work. Look at the way they record, 3 men to 1 mic, absolutely no margin for error there. But they were the Bee Gees they got it right.
Maddy, this was 1979...the Bee Gees 1st mega hit, and it was MEGA after the disco era songs....these guys are just too awesome, and the studio they are recording in, right there, is the famous Criteria Studios in North Miami Beach....they recorded the whole Saturday Night Fever album there. Barry still lives with his bride of over 50 years in their LA Gorce (the name of the neighborhood in Miami Beach) mansion....it's beautiful !!!! I live in a western suburb of Miami
🤍
Really? Tell us more earthling!
Before the BeeGees were a disco group they used to sing ballads like My favorite "I just got to Get a Message to You" and "I Started a Joke" Thanks, Rick
They never were a disco group!
Oooh!
You are right they were not a disco group. They were just labeled as one
This song by the Bee Gees was released in 1978 ... FYI
Back in the 70s when real talent and love songs were important. I can't imagine young men trying to woo a girl with gangster rap or dirty songs.
I think if you tried to autotune the Beegees the Universe would enter a feedback loop and collapse into itself.
That’s what true LOVE Sounds like!
It took 27 tracks to complete this masterpiece in the studio! Live sounds good too!
They’ve sold over 200m records
Give them the due they deserve
Bee Gees is the most iconic group… world wide known for the music and their vocal instruments… I can’t believe there is only 1 left
There were many singers of the 50's, 60's, and 70's who were masters at doing falsetto singing. But the BeeGees were "Ph.D's"!
Lol love it!!
Frankie Valli
All 4 are talented Andy, Robin, Barry and Maurice.
done in the 70s... LONG before auto tune... back when you actually had to have talent and be able to sing...
musicians were CRAFTSMEN..
they made music in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and 2000s. One left... STILL AT IT..
Amazing
This is what autotune has been trying to achieve and failing.
Nuthin’ but pure talent.
Agreed
Maddy about one of the most dominant singing groups of all time: "They CAN SING""!
Just joking! The Bee Gees absolutely owned the Disco era, and the movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta cemented them as living legends. Their back-to-back dozen of #1 hits were so overplayed that there was eventually a backlash against disco, and they had to write #1 hits for other artists! Everything these brothers touched turned to gold, for a long, long time.
LOL love it!
Maddy your reaction is Awesome don't forget Band Maid ❤
These brothers were incredible.....and this song divinely inspired! Glad that they were around when I was young. So talented. The real deal.
Yes, it’s real & live. The BeeGees sounded as good in concert as they did on their records. Best songwriters & band ever.
Auto-tune wasn't developed until 1997
