The name Fanny was actually the name of their housekeeper when they were renting a house in Miami.....it was Mo's idea to use her name. She cried her eyes out when they sang the song for her. They are GREAT MEN!!!!
'Best' to describe the Bee Gees is rank hyperbole when The Beatles existed. They were good but not remotely in the same league as the lads from Liverpool. Welcome to reality.
I love the Bee Gees but I am especially obsessed with this song. Anyone who can appreciate the magic of Fanny is a friend to me. You are adorable too. I think we share the same happy expressions listening to a great song.😄❤🎶
Undoubtedly the best singer/songwriters ever. Their sound changed with each decade reflecting the time. All 3 took turns at lead at different times and no song was ever the same as another even though a BeeGees song is immediately identifiable even in the songs they wrote for others.
All three brothers had their own unique falsetto's, could sing baritone from their chest voice, and almost anything in-between!!! IMO, they are the most talented group, & exceptional singers of all time! If you would like to hear more of Maurice with his falsetto, and Barry singing mostly chest voice, check out, Nights on Broadway!!! *They were such a wonderful gift to the music industry & our ears* 💝💝💝
My fav Bee Gee’s song. They never played this song in concert because Barry said it was too complicated to play on stage. The studio recording had many layover tracks. It is an absolute gem. And remember, this way before auto tune was even invented.
Bee Gees are the Triple Crown Winners for music. Kings of Ballads, Kings of Disco, and Kings of Love Songs. You will NEVER see a group like this again.😀😀😀😀
Oh please. King of ballad? Seriously? They had some great ones, but several other groups had not only great ballads, but better ones. Start with the Beatles. I mean, they had an entire double album of #1 love songs, some 25 of them, and every single one a classic.
Bee Gee was respected by the R&B audience because they were so inspired by the soul. Few were the bands to gather so different audiences certainly because they are not american but from UK-Australia.
The rise and rise throughout this song is so exciting. A favourite. They were producing quality all through. Men can be romantic too...in another age but still. Great reaction. Main Course has one hit after another. It was their comeback/breakthrough to R and B. Still amazing ballads on there too. Best group ever x
" How Can You Mend A Broken Heart " is beautiful ,that song sticks in my head and I feel it . There is one video where they are in stage playing that song , and Barry is so hot !
There are two, maybe three, videos on YT that have this song on an hour loop, and I listen to one every now and then to end my day and chill out. I just love this song!! Can't ever tire of it!
Robin has more of the falsetto than Barry...I was very surprised to hear that being said from them on a talk show... Equally they all by themselves have amazing voices....Loved growing up to their music n music from the 70's.. That's when music was magic...
At this time of the album.. Barry was 29 years old ...the twins brothers were 26 years old...wow 🎉❤ they were super talented.. they made such beautiful amazing song for us....😊❤🎉I love them forever....
Their mother Barbara said that ‘Fanny’ is her favorite song and that she loves Robin’s voice!…..I have their Greatest Hits double CD in my car and it gets played each and every time! ♥️…..my mom got in the car a few days ago and I was playing the pre-‘Fever’ songs and she said, “ooh, I love the BeeGees!….so glad I was a little girl when ‘Fever’ came out and have been a fan from then on….and Andy’s pictures were on my wall (and both my parents were Andy Gibb and BG fans)!
Main Course is a great place to start with albums. It and Spirits Having Flown are my favorites. Great reaction to this gem Pat. It is so soulful and layered with harmonies. It’s amazing. My favorite Bee Gees song. They switch up their vocals like nobody else can. I have special teenage moments listening to this song on the radio. ❤️
They're my favorites too....as well as Main Course being Stephen & Spencer Gibbs favorite.🎶Spirits Having Flown was their biggest selling album & one of the most successful in pop music history.....& has Barry all over it!🥰
Hi Patrick I have been listening to your channel awhile and love your reactions and another great R&B song of the bee gees is Bodyguard its very soulful I have been a Bee Gees fan for 51 years
OMG - I had forgotten about this song. They could sing the phone book and nail it. The evolution of the group as they took the falsetto to a new level after finding it in "Knights on Broadway". Then they did this and all of a sudden they exploded into Super Stardom.
Always love your very articulate reactions of The Bee Gees. They were just such musical geniuses. Everyone of their songs is different but with that Bee Gees touch. Please react to THE WAY IT WAS with a fabulous Barry lead from their !976 Children Of The World album, Thank you. ❤❤❤
Good idea to check out more of that genius-album 'Main Course'. You'll find lotsa different sounds on it, so that's their strength. To find in so many different genres.
Yeah not underrated at all. They are legends. They wrote for so many others. They have unbelievable harmony and wrote beautiful and fun music. The Main Course album is a masterpiece! You’re on the right track.
@@susancohen8009 Well, before you get excited about that, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Pink Floyd sold far more. But don't let that get in the way of your hyperbole there.
Pat, I know I'm quite late to this party but I just wanted to commend you on your reaction to this Bee Gees masterpiece! You know a great song when you hear it. Heck, you knew you were going to like it before you even started! And, thank you for recognizing that Robin and Maurice both had wonderful voices, too. Robin sang lead on lots of their earlier hits from the late 60's to the early 70's and then continued to create beautiful music with his brothers and on his own after the disco era ended. May Robin, Maurice and Andy continue to RIP. 🙏
I Love, Love, Love The Bee Gees. I have not seen this video before. Robin looks healhier. When Barry leaves us it will the end of decades of great music. Thank you for sharing
I'm a diehard Bee Gees fan, and this is one of my all-time favorites! One of my favorite memories is of listening to this with my hard-core hard rock roommates in 1979 with the lights down low and them admitting it was a great, sexy song.
Hi Patrick! This is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs! Loved your reaction. If you want album suggestions try their 1997 Album Still Waters. Not a bad song on it--but my favorite (aside from Alone) is My Lover's Prayer. So nice to see the younger generation enjoying fine music and pure talent!
I saw an interview where they said that they couldn't do this song live because there was so may parts and so much layering that it wouldn't be the same.
I grew up listening to the late 1970s Bee Gees, but I've been going down a rabbit hole myself lately and discovering both their very early and later music. The more I learn about them, the more I am awestruck by their talent. I'm really enjoying your reactions and your thoughtful commentaries! I love all the brothers but Robin is my favorite -- his voice was one of a kind. I highly recommend you react to Robin's signature song, "I Started a Joke" (try the 1989 One for All concert version), and definitely try "I Can't See Nobody" from the Melbourne 1974 concert. Both performances will blow you away!
You can't imagine, how increíble was going to the disco each weekend, and find out, those brand and awesome songs, and have to wait until one or 2 weeks more or even 1 month, more to listen them again, because..their vinilo discos weren't on sale yet in most of the european contries 😂.. ohh !!❤ 9:16
‘Be tender with my love’. Maurice turned round and saw Fanny and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be a better song if it was a woman’s name in there, and you’re asking her to be tender?”
Maurice sings leads too: "Man In The Middle", "Closer Than Close", "Wildflower", "Walking On Air", etc. And keep poking around in that rabbit hole, and you're going to find out he, also, has a falsetto ("Nights On Broadway") and sings the highest parts of harmonies. Not to mention he was their musical director, and took active part in writing and, then production. Maurice was a real musical genius...no less so than his brothers. Together they were the very top of the food chain...to this day there is none better. Love your reactions...please keep up the good work. You talk about the substance of the whole recording including mentioning album interest, a little production insight, and show some knowledge of music, I think it's great that you incorporate a few details into your reactions!😉
It's so amazing. The same sweet background falsetto is on the song Love So Right. It's fantastic. Great reaction. Thank you. Living Eyes. My World. If you haven't done them yet.
What I love about Bee Gees reaction videos is that in almost every song, there is at least one moment where something completely unexpected and or inspired happens, either vocally or musically, that makes the person reacting to get a "what the f--" expression which looks like a combination of surprise and sheer admiration! I think I counted at least three or four by Pat on this one! ❤ But the most amazing thing is that, even after having heard all Bee Gees songs multiple times in the last 40 years, I STILL GET THOSE EXPRESSIONS MYSELF almost all the time! 🤩
You should check them out singing the Beatles 'Please Please Me' on TV, in 1963...Barry at 17, and Maurice and Robin at 14, just months after the Fab Four recorded and released it! Short, and SO good! And watch Maurice at the end! 😄
Maurice is criminally underrated. Barry would come up with all the melodies but it was Maurice who would lay down and underline the whole thing with some insane bass lines. When you listen to their disco era, pay attention to the bass riffs- one of the most underrated bass players of all time.
Maurice was a consummated Musician, he could play Classical Music on the piano , he could read music and he was the multitalented and multi instrumentalist member of the group , he was the Composer of many of the songs of the Beegees , he was a genius but he was very humble too , these 3 guys respected and loved each other , Maurice was the genius behind that Master piece that was not disco it sound like Rock but it was hard to dance and that song was “ Nights on Broadway “ , he was underrated but many of us are learning a lot about Maurice that played and sang respecting and loving his 3 brothers , always hiding behind them, he was very honest when he recognized that he was very selfish when he became a serious alcoholic , he was destroying his life and his home, eventually he stopped drinking and he became sober, he remembered that his best glass of hard licor was given to him by John Lennon and with time he almost destroyed himself, but he came back and he was very honest sharing his ups and downs with everybody , Rest in peace Maurice , Robin and Andy and May God keep on protecting and helping the big brother the big Bee Gee , Barry , what an awesome and amazing group these guys where. Ahh the Beegees .
@@haroldsanteliz6153 - A correction....Maurice could NOT read music. None of them could read music and they said so themselves. It was all done by ear. They were self taught. Multi talented and multi instrumentalist yes, but said he could not read or write music. He would just find the right chords. He added the third harmony that made each song perfect. He directed their band on stage. He was also a composer WITH his brothers. Barry and Robin mainly came up with the lyrics and melodies and Mo put them to music but they worked as a team and they said, as if by ESP, they could finish each others' thoughts.
@darkmatter6714 - Barry did NOT come up with all the melodies. In fact, Robin and Maurice often came with their song ideas and they would work together to perfect them. Barry gets WAY too much credit. Maurice was the one who polished off "Immortality" in a matter of minutes. Robin and Maurice wrote an entire LP for Robin without any input from Barry. FYI, the ONLY Bee Gee to have a #1 song in several countries as a solo artist was Robin with "Juliet" written by Robin and Maurice. Robin's last LP "50 St Catherine's Drive" was beautiful and NO input from Barry at all. He also wrote the "Titanic Requiem" orchestral piece played by the National Philharmonic. Barry had nothing to do with that. His solo LP "Robin's Reign" on 1969 had NOTHING to do with Barry either. They also worked on 5 out of 9 songs on the Streisand LP. They contributed to most songs they wrote for other artists (like "Islands in the Stream", "Chain Reaction"). Robin wrote the initial lyrics for "Stayin' Alive on the back of his Concorde ticket after reading the NY Times about violence in NYC. All you have to do is look at the writing credits.
I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the comments here---there are a lot now!---but I learned once they recorded 16 tracks for this! There are so many layers, they never were able to sing this live.
Careers spanning 50 years, a true favorite, they can all sing falsetto, or whatever, is needed. Catalogue is a monster, all written, sung, produced by the boys, and music written for other artists! Please, react to" Will you still love me Tomorrow.", written by Carol King. I know she said it was the best cover ever, done by the BeeGees, of that song. Enjoy your reaction, and appreciation.
If any song told just how great the Bee Gees actually were, its this song. It's a masterpiece. The base is breathtaking from Maurice. The vocals from Robin and Barry unbeatable. The harmonies silky smooth. The melody and Lyrics unique. I have a thing about this song. It beats all.
It's amazing how they switch their voices from a regular voice to a baritone and to falsetto in one song and it has many remarkable layers.
The name Fanny was actually the name of their housekeeper when they were renting a house in Miami.....it was Mo's idea to use her name. She cried her eyes out when they sang the song for her. They are GREAT MEN!!!!
The Bee Gees are the GREATEST group to EVER grace the music world.....There will NEVER be ANOTHER group like them.....EVER!!!!
I agree 100 percent ! They are the very best !
'Best' to describe the Bee Gees is rank hyperbole when The Beatles existed. They were good but not remotely in the same league as the lads from Liverpool.
Welcome to reality.
@aquariaaustin2077 Sorry but you are the delusional one. Bee Gees are better than the Beatles in every measure.
@@aquariaaustin2077 Oh, the Beatles can't compare with the Bee Gees!
I love the Bee Gees but I am especially obsessed with this song. Anyone who can appreciate the magic of Fanny is a friend to me. You are adorable too. I think we share the same happy expressions listening to a great song.😄❤🎶
Love seeing people hear the Bee Gees songs for the first time. BG's are legendary.
They slayed this song.
A Bee Gees masterpiece ❤
Fanny is a musical and vocal masterpiece! This is my absolute favorite of my many favorite Bee Gee's songs ❤❤❤
Same, and that's really saying something!
mine too
Absolutely my favorite
I love the variety on the whole Main Course album!
The musical has nothing to do with this song! Fanny is the name of a woman who was the housekeeper in the house they rented at the time.
Undoubtedly the best singer/songwriters ever. Their sound changed with each decade reflecting the time. All 3 took turns at lead at different times and no song was ever the same as another even though a BeeGees song is immediately identifiable even in the songs they wrote for others.
One of the best songs by one of the best groups to ever hit the music scene. Period!
Excellent reaction!!! They went nuts with the Falsettos at the end.
....and I loved every note of it.
All three brothers had their own unique falsetto's, could sing baritone from their chest voice, and almost anything in-between!!!

Bee Gees are the Triple Crown Winners for music. Kings of Ballads, Kings of Disco, and Kings of Love Songs. You will NEVER see a group like this again.😀😀😀😀
So true. They are a once in a lifetime group. Actually 5 lifetimes.
Never!

Obvious that you know 0 about the Bee Gees early work. I suggest you do your homework BEFORE commenting!!!!@@aquariaaustin2077
This has to be up there with the greatest tunes by the Bee Gees..
Bee Gee was respected by the R&B audience because they were so inspired by the soul. Few were the bands to gather so different audiences certainly because they are not american but from UK-Australia.
I only really knew their big hits but now I'm curious about their music. Got it cranking now. Thanks
That is my favorite part of the two going high up in those falsettos and even pushing it higher!! Such masters!!
The rise and rise throughout this song is so exciting. A favourite. They were producing quality all through. Men can be romantic too...in another age but still. Great reaction. Main Course has one hit after another. It was their comeback/breakthrough to R and B. Still amazing ballads on there too. Best group ever x
Amazing Voices. I grow up with the best Group ever. Every Song is a surprice. They can switch there Voices like nobody else. 🕺🥰👍
" How Can You Mend A Broken Heart " is beautiful ,that song sticks in my head and I feel it .
There is one video where they are in stage playing that song , and Barry is so hot !

Bee Gees rabbit hole is a deep one! Better pack a lunch and maybe a snack!
Lol yes, and maybe bring a tent:)
This IS. The bee gees masterpiece
Robin has more of the falsetto than Barry...I was very surprised to hear that being said from them on a talk show... Equally they all by themselves have amazing voices....Loved growing up to their music n music from the 70's.. That's when music was magic...
One of the best songs. Fanny was Robin’s house keeper lol 😂
Yep lol
Fanny was their housekeeper when staying at 461 Ocean Blvd in North Miami Beach.
Fanny is one of the best songs they ever made, their harmonies are second to none.
At this time of the album.. Barry was 29 years old ...the twins brothers were 26 years old...wow 🎉❤ they were super talented.. they made such beautiful amazing song for us....😊❤🎉I love them forever....
The Bee Gees never performed this song live because it was so layered and complex - they didn't think they could do it justice live. ❤
No matter how old you are or what they're singing, the Bee Gees just make your heart feel good inside when you listen to them.
Fanny is one of my very favorites of theirs too.
Absolutely love the Bee Gees! They have always been and will always be my favorite!
Their mother Barbara said that ‘Fanny’ is her favorite song and that she loves Robin’s voice!…..I have their Greatest Hits double CD in my car and it gets played each and every time! ♥️…..my mom got in the car a few days ago and I was playing the pre-‘Fever’ songs and she said, “ooh, I love the BeeGees!….so glad I was a little girl when ‘Fever’ came out and have been a fan from then on….and Andy’s pictures were on my wall (and both my parents were Andy Gibb and BG fans)!

Always love this one. Try "The Only Love",this one is special.
Hi Patrick! This is one of my favorite songs by the Bee Gees so timeless and good. ❤🎵🎤
Marice is the bomb with his fretless Fender bass!
Quincy Jones said it was the best R&B song he ever heard, not just liked it!
Thank you Pat, for recognizing their greatness. I grew up with them.❤

Rewatching this reaction. One of the best Bee Gees songs our there!!

They never ever were underrated
Yeah not underrated at all. They are legends. They wrote for so many others. They have unbelievable harmony and wrote beautiful and fun music. The Main Course album is a masterpiece! You’re on the right track.
They mix genres of music in almost every song. It makes it harder to pick favorites. The harmony is always there
Agreed, they sold over 200 million albums, awards, etc.
@@susancohen8009 Well, before you get excited about that, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Pink Floyd sold far more. But don't let that get in the way of your hyperbole there.
They are awesome...all songs😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love the tone of Barry’s voice. He’s the best. This song never fails to make my smile when they really get going.
I would love to hear you review the official video "One", released in1989. It's one of their lesser talked about songs but a great vibe.
Pat, I know I'm quite late to this party but I just wanted to commend you on your reaction to this Bee Gees masterpiece! You know a great song when you hear it.

Love all your Bee Gee reactions. You would enjoy I could not love you more(video), Kiss of Life (video), and Wedding Day (live performance 2001)❤❤
"Love you inside out", "Love so right", "You should be dancing"....
I Love, Love, Love The Bee Gees. I have not seen this video before. Robin looks healhier. When Barry leaves us it will the end of decades of great music. Thank you for sharing

Been listening to them for over 50 years! Highly recommend "Spicks and Specks" album..
Hi Patrick! This is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs! Loved your reaction. If you want album suggestions try their 1997 Album Still Waters. Not a bad song on it--but my favorite (aside from Alone) is My Lover's Prayer. So nice to see the younger generation enjoying fine music and pure talent!
This is in my too 5 favorite Bee Gees songs! Pleased to see people recognize Maurice and Robin’s talent too!❤
That rabbit hole never ends
Love the Bee Gees! Reminds me of my dad, he has passed...I love your reaction to this song!
Thank you for reacting to this, Patrick . It’s hard to choose but I think this is my favorite Bee Gees song
THREE ANGELS ❤❤❤

Check out oh Darling with Robin signing. Its so awsome!

‘Be tender with my love’. Maurice turned round and saw Fanny and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be a better song if it was a woman’s name in there, and you’re asking her to be tender?”
Robin guiding camera to different trio voices and direction changes! Making hand gestures if you watch Making the magic happen!

Fanny & Jive Talking are my 2 favorite BeeGees songs.
Awesome song. Fanny was Robin’s house keeper. You need to listen to Tragedy, and You Win Again
Fanny was the housekeeper when The Bee Gees stayed at 461 Ocean Blvd.
Yes, Fanny was their housekeeper in Miami.
@@bethanyhuber2598 I know LOL 😂
Oh Patrick I love watching you enjoying my fav BeeGees song..a full range of notes and working out who is singing what part…😮❤
My very favorite BG song! 🥰
Here is one from early days, Robin has a solo in the middle, "Close another Door". They are all SO talented.
The 1974 album "Natural"; it's a transition album that prepares the ground for their extraordinary return to the top in 1975!
It's so amazing. The same sweet background falsetto is on the song
Love So Right.
It's fantastic.
Great reaction. Thank you.
Living Eyes.
My World.
If you haven't done them yet.
What I love about Bee Gees reaction videos is that in almost every song, there is at least one moment where something completely unexpected and or inspired happens, either vocally or musically, that makes the person reacting to get a "what the f--" expression which looks like a combination of surprise and sheer admiration!
I think I counted at least three or four by Pat on this one! ❤
But the most amazing thing is that, even after having heard all Bee Gees songs multiple times in the last 40 years, I STILL GET THOSE EXPRESSIONS MYSELF almost all the time! 🤩
You should check them out singing the Beatles 'Please Please Me' on TV, in 1963...Barry at 17, and Maurice and Robin at 14, just months after the Fab Four recorded and released it! Short, and SO good! And watch Maurice at the end! 😄
I'm not sure why but this is a grainy version. There are better, clearer ones out there.
Love your smile, btw. :)
Check out the whole Main Course album. I believe this was their best.
Wrote over 1000 songs. Many were written for top artists like Streisand, Dolly, Kenny Rogers, etc etc etc. And those songs became top songs, too.
This is a banger for days. ❤ It the 1st time I heard it. Have you reacted to "Love Inside Out by the Bee Gees man oh man!

When you listen to their disco era, pay attention to the bass riffs- one of the most underrated bass players of all time.
Maurice was a consummated
Musician, he could play Classical Music on the piano , he could read music and he was the multitalented and multi instrumentalist member of the group , he was the Composer of many of the songs of the Beegees , he was a genius but he was very humble too , these 3 guys respected and loved each other , Maurice was the genius behind that Master piece that was not disco it sound like Rock but it was hard to dance and that song was “ Nights on Broadway “ , he was underrated but many of us are learning a lot about Maurice that played and sang respecting and loving his 3 brothers , always hiding behind them, he was very honest when he recognized that he was very selfish when he became a serious alcoholic , he was destroying his life and his home, eventually he stopped drinking and he became sober, he remembered that his best glass of hard licor was given to him by John Lennon and with time he almost destroyed himself, but he came back and he was very honest sharing his ups and downs with everybody , Rest in peace Maurice , Robin and Andy and May God keep on protecting and helping the big brother the big Bee Gee , Barry , what an awesome and amazing group these guys where.

You should do the Children of the World album It was their most R&B and soul album. I love your reactions!❤😊!!!
Careers spanning 50 years, a true favorite, they can all sing falsetto, or whatever, is needed. Catalogue is a monster, all written, sung, produced by the boys, and music written for other artists! Please, react to" Will you still love me Tomorrow.", written by Carol King. I know she said it was the best cover ever, done by the BeeGees, of that song. Enjoy your reaction, and appreciation.
You've got to listen to Ronin singing Oh Darling. Amazing
I really don't know how a lot of people missed out on the Bee Gees, they were so popular in the Disco area, they made millions.
Thanks for the BEE GEES I grew up listening to them awesome talent one of a kind beautiful song
If any song told just how great the Bee Gees actually were, its this song. It's a masterpiece. The base is breathtaking from Maurice. The vocals from Robin and Barry unbeatable. The harmonies silky smooth.
The melody and Lyrics unique. I have a thing about this song. It beats all.
It's a bummer that whom ever it was with the camera didn't do a better job. Such a great song. ❤
Bee Gees 4ever. Started listening in the early 70s courtesy of my mom. Still my favorite band.
I must say that your reaction to this song was so awesome Without interruptions and you really seem to get the Real talent that is the Bee Gees. ❤
BeeGees could sing any genre. For a little country flare check out “Rest Your Love on Me”
