These guys are not just exceptional in using their untrained voices to produce the standard vocals required for this piece, but they are effective storytellers, too. Considering that is is quintessential American music, having these provincial lads from central Philippines convey not just the sound but also the narrative of the song is nothing less than amazing. Much respect.
It is damn near impossible how they not only play the cover they move from artist to artist with an ease that no professional artist can do. and EVERYTHING IS dot PERFECT.
The guy playing bass doesn't even seem to be trying, and his fingers don't seem to move much, and he's looking around like he's got something else on his mind, but he's playing killer bass lines and singing harmony! On so many songs the drummer and Ron (guitar/keyboards) sing together and it sounds like one single voice. Someone is shooting this and handling the mixing board and doing a killer job of that too. Philippines my ass, these guys are aliens from outer space.
that's exactly what i had in my mind too! the best thing about this guy, besides pulling off the most difficult notes in the harmonies, is that he doesn't overplay. Still there's a lot going on inside those seemingly simple strokes that he's playing. Cheers to the drummer!!
Back in the 1970s, I was in the Navy deployed to the Western Pacific and had opportunities to hear the many fine Filipino bands doing covers of all manner of music from C/W to Soul to Rock and to this day I am impressed with the skill and musicianship. These young men are worth carriers of the torch.
As far as I know, these guys have no formal training in music so they are just learning it by ear. But still nailing every cover that they do like pros. Hats off to this brothers!
Most likely.. we in the provinces of the Philippines cant afford to pay music training.. So im guessing these guys learned by ear and of course youtube, plus hard practice..
that's just normal in the philippines..i mean most singers do not have proper musical training...they just learn it by themselves, by hearing...by loving music basically...
You know what’s impresses me more about these brothers? They memorized all the lyrics on all the songs they covered. That means that they really love listening to these oldies songs. So undeniably talented group of guys.
Yes they are now I believe. This is no doubt because they are sooooo freakin' good. But there are also very good cover or show bands prior to them in the Philippines before. Unfortunately they didn't have the technology that the REO Brothers have in today's time. Had TH-cam become available during the 70s and the 80s, probably there are so many cover bands like the REO Brothers the world can Watch and know. I bet viewers around the world would get confused who will be their favorite then. But I can say that, the REO Brothers would have been one of the most famous or one of the top-5 then.
Must listen through headphones. The music is, well, orgasmic! These brothers are super-talented and Ronjoseph, the second eldest brother who learned to play instruments on his own, taught his brothers to play instruments and started the band, is a musical genius! Can't get enough of them!
I was born in 1990's but whats the magic of 60's music?I enjoy this than music today👌👍👍👍👍my music in this hard times. Reo Brothers keep up the good work🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
These guys are great and masters of their craft. Since they weren't around to enjoy that great music of the 60s and 70s they did the next best thing by not only appreciating it today but also covering it...and covering it very well. They got these songs down! This is a very tight band!
You guys are F...ing GREAT! And just for the record, I used to work for a legendary record producer, so I KNOW GREATNESS when I hear it, which HARDLY EVER HAPPENS! Today's " music stars" should be your MANAGERS! Keep up the GREAT WORK! The world's listening! TW
You guys are great, or You guys are amazingly great... Sounds better. The Beatles never swore. We all had basic manners that only allowed it in extremis. You're happy, so why downgrade by the F word.
I wish they were my sons! Lol 😂 I am a musician myself, ‘have children of my own but none really got my musical gifts. I can’t imagine how the parents feel like having musically inclined children like these guys.
Every song they cover is special . They dont try to change the original either . Thay have mastered what they do . They could make some money in the states .
Wishful thinking but I would love to see Simon and Garfunkel play alongside Reo Brothers in the near future or at least acknowledge their talent on stage. Now that'd be something to cherish for all.
Awan makunak kadakayo nga agkakabsat permi nga naglalaing kayo uray la sumgar dutdut ko.. Buybuyaik amin nga inaplod yo.. Agyamanak la unay kadakayo. Godbless!
I would pay any money to sit and listen to these guys play. All my respect to such amazing artists! if you ever do a tour around South America, I will be there enjoying your show!
"where have you gone Joe DiMaggio..." für mich eine Textzeile, die gerade in der heutigen Zeit, wieder eine neue Bedeutung sucht...and for the REO brothers, just keep the music alive...thank you
I was a teenager in the 70s,this was OUR music. Clicking thru the channels on an 8 track and cussing after the tape deck had just ate our latest $2.99 purchase. Man I love you guys you are spot on.
If you have one, listen with a better quality headphone; You'll be like me. Blown away.... I can hear each instrument so clearly and harmoniously....the bass playing is topnotch! I can't hear it from laptop speakers but on headphones...amazing.
cc: The lyrics were originally "Mrs. Roosevelt". Paul Simon played riffs of the song as filler music for "The Graduate" during filming. He changed the words to Mrs. Robinson for the movie, but didn't have a completed song at the release of the film. It wasn't till "Mrs. Robinson" became a hit after the movie was released that he finished the song and recorded it. He said the "Joe DiMaggio" line came to him in a stream of consciousness. He wasn't sure what It meant, he just liked the way it sounded.
Dam it !! Every time I get a TH-cam alert Reo Brothers are on, I drop everything. Today it was the baby. My bad. It was all worth it. JK. Reo Brothers "Pure awsomeness"
Reo Brothers, please, manda um alô aqui...sou fã de vocês my Brothers. ..congratulações. ..feras...abraços. ..my name is Carlinhos , city Cananeia, São Paulo - Brasil. ..
dios ko? inulit ko na nman ito. parang original talaga ang galing kumalabit ng guitara.. ginaya na origina ang kalabasan.. ano ba kyo? ang huhusay nyo talaga.. maupay gad!
"Filipinos take great pride in their ability to copy others down to the most minute detail." REO BROTHER'S are incredibly perfect, my mind is in a beautiful moment in the past and extremely grateful. Congratulations and continue to delight us with your wonderful presentations. Hugs from Brazil.
This group is very talented.the instrument the rythem of the tune...their voices ..lead voice,second voice...etc.perfect...and what i admired most the bassist...tunedddd
Muito bom!!! Fico feliz ao ver jovens tocando e cantando as boas músicas de ontem, de hoje e de sempre. Parabéns pelo excelente gosto musical. TKS em QRV 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍 👍 👍👍 Brasil !!!!!!
To the Reo Brothers: Your beautiful music is the light that brightens our days during these times of trial. Thank you for spending your time to cheer us up. Someday, when all these hard days are over, I will be looking forward to the opportunity of watching one of your concerts, either back home in the Philippines or maybe even here in the US. Stay safe and GOD BLESS YOU.

Nailed it! They are Raw talent!

I had to do a frequency test to check that it wasn't a lip sync. Nothing but pure talent and passion here.
Well said.
Yu right they preserve old music from 60s 70s en 80s amazing -reOBrothers-
I have no idea how these young guys have crafted their art - but it is so amazing - I am beyond empressed - thank you!
Skip Reardon
Practice. Practice. Practice practice + genius talent 👍👍👍
True
They got their Otic craft. Am a new fan here in New Zealand.
Yes they’re truly gifted!
because some people from philippines are talented
It is damn near impossible how they not only play the cover they move from artist to artist with an ease that no professional artist can do. and EVERYTHING IS dot PERFECT.
They are similar to d sound of d Faboulous Countdowns
Countdowns Band of Olongapo City, Philippines
Arturo Apora Are the Countdowns still playing in Olongapo? If so, what venue?
i agree! awesome people! Proud to be a Filipino!
Got right...
The guy playing bass doesn't even seem to be trying, and his fingers don't seem to move much, and he's looking around like he's got something else on his mind, but he's playing killer bass lines and singing harmony! On so many songs the drummer and Ron (guitar/keyboards) sing together and it sounds like one single voice.
Someone is shooting this and handling the mixing board and doing a killer job of that too.
Philippines my ass, these guys are aliens from outer space.
They came to unite the human race through music.
They're just as human as you and me Kenton. It's just that... they're Super humans. Hahaha.
The bass seems effortless because the volume of the bass is slightly lower than the two guitars an drums and that makes the illusion.
70s u
John Smith TRUE INDEED!
Please don’t skip Ads so we can help them. The kind of Talents we ought to support.

Do they have a Patreon? I would subscribe!!!
@@computerboy2k Reo Brothers
Simon Patterson but I think they could have a fair share
the drummer alyaws be the hidden gems of this band, never forget how he pulled it off that Bee Gee's song.
that's exactly what i had in my mind too! the best thing about this guy, besides pulling off the most difficult notes in the harmonies, is that he doesn't overplay. Still there's a lot going on inside those seemingly simple strokes that he's playing. Cheers to the drummer!!
Reno is his name
That's what I always said about George Harrison!
@@donaldsalkovick396 these oriental dudes are seriously talented
Don't forget the bassist 😊
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts, close your eyes and enjoy a magical ride back to the 60s. With you ... REO Brothers
Yes, I’m enjoying the roller coaster of the 60s. Thanks to Reo Bros my country mates.
Im in.

Yeah they are playing it by ear, THEIR SURNAME OTIC IS VERY APT FOR THEM, it’s d medical term for EAR.
@@DrMaria88 🙂
Most likely.. we in the provinces of the Philippines cant afford to pay music training.. So im guessing these guys learned by ear and of course youtube, plus hard practice..
In music parlance, the term is OIDO. No musical notes to read , just playing instruments as they hear.
that's just normal in the philippines..i mean most singers do not have proper musical training...they just learn it by themselves, by hearing...by loving music basically...
That guy in the bass is a beast
☺
Agree, the best... of the beast
All of them are beast!
Ralph
makes it look so simple....
The blend of the 4 voices is very powerful.
Sibling's voices usually naturally blends...
Yes its four in one
Yes because as per experts they have the same bone structures as siblings, result is a good harmony
These guys are so good and the fact that they are playing American classics almost brought tears of joy to my eyes. 😭😭😭😭
Great performance by this Philippino band! Keep up your good work
Agree 100%. It would be an honor to see them perform LIVE!
@@sobroed when you are living in USA ..they are going one Tour there..😭I 'm living in Germany..
You know what’s impresses me more about these brothers? They memorized all the lyrics on all the songs they covered. That means that they really love listening to these oldies songs. So undeniably talented group of guys.
Memorized all of the lyrics IN A LANGUAGE THEY DON'T SPEAK. Super impressive. I can't get enough of these guys.
@@rsn2012 technically they do speak English as there second language
These is the first time a Pilipino band became a popular in whole world.
These are...
The whole sentence is jacked but it’s ‘This is...’

@@polo-kf6yh not a native English speaker, so pardon him.
@@polo-kf6yh This is, not these are.
If i just close my eyes listening to this band, it seems like Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel have re-recorded the song on 2020. Good job guys !!!
True
With a bit if John Lennon vocals there
Remastered indeed!!
True
This cover doesnt take away from the original. It enhances it.
Estou escrevendo desde o Brasil, nunca vi uma banda tão disciplinada, todo cover perfeito , parabéns
Congratulations
Proud to be a Filipino... keep it up guys hope you upload more songs 🙌👏👏
@@cesarrojas6449 descobri essa banda a pouco. Me inscrevi. Tocam e cantam muito. Impressionante.
Indeed
It makes the song even more popular!...Thanks to REO BROTHERS!..
Must listen through headphones. The music is, well, orgasmic! These brothers are super-talented and Ronjoseph, the second eldest brother who learned to play instruments on his own, taught his brothers to play instruments and started the band, is a musical genius! Can't get enough of them!
He is Rjay Evasco Otic 👍👍
True best w headphones!

Beautiful. I'm not that old (36 yrs) but watching these younger guys playing a Paul Simon's song brings a bit of hope on humanity. Thank you.
I am praising God who makes these possible to my ears.
Amen .. me too brother.. these asians are so damn good..
Dislikes are from those wanna be bands who cannot equal them.
Thats true.
YES! Hahaha...
Absolutely 💯 those poor 😢 bands
CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha...maybe..
Damn. Finally found best Ms.R cover
Bruh! Watching you guys here in youtube for free feels like illegal. Put a link where we can chip-in some. This is pure entertainment.
Great idea!
agree 100%
REO BROS. make a patreon account so that those who wants to contribute money can do
Ha Ha Ha! Brilliant!
Agree man!!. Use a bitcoin wallet, it's so much easier to transfer with no hassle.
What the hell is wrong with the world? Why aren't these brother's mega superstars?
I think I just found my new favorite bass player. Maybe my new favorite band. You guys are awesome. Hope you make it to the USA someday.
Not taking anything away from this great young bassist, but this is my favorite Filipino bassist. th-cam.com/video/sxFotYfjH40/w-d-xo.html
Check this bassist also a Filipino th-cam.com/video/YfkXwxW984w/w-d-xo.html
Damn! Is there anything these guys can't play and sing? They are one of the greatest cover bands on the planet!
❤❤
Where's a record executive when you need one!
One of their most successful versions I think. Reno is driving the beat during the verses more than the original record's drums did. Great job, Reno!
These guys are great and masters of their craft. Since they weren't around to enjoy that great music of the 60s and 70s they did the next best thing by not only appreciating it today but also covering it...and covering it very well. They got these songs down! This is a very tight band!
My thoughts exactly! Never letting the classic die
Absolutley Perfect Cover. Amazing. Greets from Germany

You guys are by far the BEST FREAKING singers, players and covers band ever !!
Well done. The only negative comments come from those that are jealous or talentless.
Impaired cant listen to good music
They like Rap of hip hop crap music!
Pioneer Lover bahahaha
or people who are entitled to their opinion just as you are....
Reverend Hogwash only leads me to believe that you fall into one of those two categories...
They sing it like they wrote it! These brothers have SOUL in their voices.
I wish they were my sons! Lol 😂
I am a musician myself, ‘have children of my own but none really got my musical gifts. I can’t imagine how the parents feel like having musically inclined children like these guys.
My jam 👏❤️👏Amazing job 👍...God bless you too .😊
Ey Mrs. Robinson!
God bless you Mrs. Robinson
😁❤️❤️
Heres to you.
Not easy to replicate the groove in that song, but you nailed it!
This performance is a time machine, boom, it is 1968 again. Wonderful.
Every song they cover is special . They dont try to change the original either . Thay have mastered what they do . They could make some money in the states .
These young men continue to amaze me!
God bless the Philippines with these guys beautiful music and love 😘
Is there ANYTHING you can't play and do it justice? Phenomenal.
Wishful thinking but I would love to see Simon and Garfunkel play alongside Reo Brothers in the near future or at least acknowledge their talent on stage. Now that'd be something to cherish for all.
These guys are giving us free concert. Please don't skip the ads.
In terms of musicality, this is one of their very best renditions.
God bless you please, Reo brothers. Iyan ang tunay na plakado. Mabuhay kayo!
Happy Easter Reo Brods, Jesus loves you more than you will know...
How is this even possible? You cover so many groups with superior talent.
Awan makunak kadakayo nga agkakabsat permi nga naglalaing kayo uray la sumgar dutdut ko.. Buybuyaik amin nga inaplod yo.. Agyamanak la unay kadakayo. Godbless!
I found you guys just trolling the tubes and dang you guys are into MY music. Great job guys. Kudos from Southern California, USA.
Talent like this is very hard to come by!
2022 is looking great as I have found the REO BROTHERS
I would pay any money to sit and listen to these guys play. All my respect to such amazing artists! if you ever do a tour around South America, I will be there enjoying your show!
There is such a hunger for music with integrity.Love it, cant stop listening to you super musicians.
Great rendition of this song so popular in Brazil!
AWESOME,,! nothing else can describe this version,, as good as the original
Once again, brilliance abounds in this family.
It's a sad state when something this good gets even 1 bad vote. Incredible work guys!
Stunning performance with your voices, so clear and clean, so precise and effective, congrats
"where have you gone Joe DiMaggio..." für mich eine Textzeile, die gerade in der heutigen Zeit, wieder eine neue Bedeutung sucht...and for the REO brothers, just keep the music alive...thank you
I love this more than the original. Am I allowed to say that? Their enunciation is superior (as it is on Penny Lane).
I bet you these people who are blown away by these guys are musicians as well. These really are amazing
Jesus, I can't believe it.
Wow.
Me too man, this is a groovier version just phenomenal. IMO better.
Wow guys, that was really spectacular! Such a good vibes, clean voices and smooth playing from all of you. It really made me happy,. so talented.
I was a teenager in the 70s,this was OUR music. Clicking thru the channels on an 8 track and cussing after the tape deck had just ate our latest $2.99 purchase. Man I love you guys you are spot on.
They nailed it. Wow 😲 excellent!!!
Hi, guys! My name is Altair and I'm from Brazil. I really like your videos and I hope you keep singing. Hugs :)
What!..an example of musical skill
Seriously guys, I get strangely emotional listening to these boys. I think this is what music really does to a person especially if it's THIS GOOD!
I was born in the 70's, I'm an 80's kid...and I almost feel like I'm cheating, getting to experience a song from the 60's like this--in TWENTY-TWENTY
If you have one, listen with a better quality headphone; You'll be like me. Blown away.... I can hear each instrument so clearly and harmoniously....the bass playing is topnotch! I can't hear it from laptop speakers but on headphones...amazing.
.......and another thing........I'm listening to it again........that bass line really flows right through the track........superb.
What make the guys so amazing is their effort to produce covers 100 percent original, and their spot on!
OMG. I can't comment. The best band with you ought to listen before die.
I like the sound of the bass during adlibs....
Thank you for the entertainment, thank you for bringing back our childhood, thank you reo brothers.
SEM SOMBRAS DE DÚVIDAS, REO BROTHERS, É A MELHOR BANDA COVER DO PLANETA... PARABÉNS...
I am mesmerised..... No words.. Love this band
Exposed from this kind of music because of my late father.... Thanks for bringing it back. Missing my father
Very talented and gifted brothers! Your parents must be very proud. May God bless your paths. 🙏

That is some kind of talent. But talent is seldom everything, it is even clearer that a lot of hard work goes into everything you do.
