The singers are all brothers. The Gibbs, and they had really similar voices. The whole album was made as a soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, which set John Travolta's career up. And the album was one of the biggest all time records. The HBO documentary on The Bee Gees changed my view on them.
That documentary "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart" on HBO blew my mind. I thought I knew a lot about The Bee Gees. 🤣 I learned so much about their story & the music. I love that Barry personally shared & narrated a lot of it. It's a must see!
@@erikbender1967 I had a dismissive view on The Bee Gees because of my unwarrented preconceptions of them, disco, and the time period, namely because of the falsetto they employed for that album. They were actually incredibly respected and really nice hard working brothers.
You don't understand. They didn't just sing disco, they invented it! They will always be the king of Disco! When the power brokers in music wanted something different after 10 years. They were out on n the cold. No one would play their music. They reinvented their music to current tends at least 3 times
The Bee Gees ruled the disco era. When disco ended they had some trouble getting radio stations to play their music so they wrote hits for a number of artists in the 80's.
4:00 Brad: Where on Earth do you find 3 dudes that can sing this high pitch? 🤣 🌟Answer: Barry was 9 years old & his brothers, twins, Maurice & Robin were 6 when they began singing in unison. It wasn't until 1975 while recording “Nights on Broadway,” producer Arif Mardin asked that someone harmonize while screaming in the background. That was the first time Barry sang falsetto. “I was thinking, my god, where is this coming from? I can do this. My whole life I never knew I could do this,” Barry joked. 🤣 BUT!! There is FOUR Gibb brothers that can sing like that. Little brother Andy (12 years younger than Barry) had a solo career & sang with the signature Gibb falsetto. Barry once said, "Maurice & Robin are twins but Andy is mine." 🌟Pleaae react to Andy Gibb "Shadow Dancing" & "I Just Wanna Be Your Everything". I can't wait til you see & hear him! ❤
I had such a crush on Andy Gibb when I was 9-10 years old. My grade school library had all the teen magazines and he was on all the covers. Tiger beat, Teen beat ect.
Ya man! Barry's falsetto is a gift that made the Bee Gee's the biggest group in the 70's! Btw, his speaking voice in interviews is as normal as any guy you'd ever meet! He's just super gifted!
Mom's music is such a perfect title. Earlier I was talking to my mom about which band I think is the greatest of all time and she responded that her choice is The Bee Gees.
Love how Brad just said “voice in a high pitch?” Then “I don’t know how he does it” in a pitch half an octave higher than his normal register! Love it! Love you guys!
I think you're both going to realize Mom has great taste in music. It was so fun watching you both discover the brothers Gibb hugely popular disco sound. Another similar song is "You Should be Dancing" which should have Lex breaking out her dance moves.
The three singers are all brothers. The were a music group formed in 1958, featuring brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid- to late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid- to late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
In 1977 there was this movie starring a newcomer straight from sitcom tv actor John Travolta called Saturday Night Fever. The film broke box office records at the time and the soundtrack which featured several songs written and performed by The Bee Gees (Barry,Maurice and Robin Gibb is still one of the greatest ever. The group of brothers had been performing as children since the late 50’s They first came into prominence in 1960’s during the British Invasion led by the Beatles. Maurice and Robin and younger brother and solo artists Andy have long since passed. The Bee Gees career of singing and songwriting covers 5 decades. They are in the Rock n Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame
Their pre disco stuff was great music, they probably have half a dozen or so great British invasion songs that were big hits...I own the box set, they were a great band of brothers...the brothers Gibb!
@@brianbrekke9500 I think they were born in Australia and grew up in The UK. I recall at the Olympics, when it was in England several years ago, the Brits claimed the BeeGees as theirs. And most consider them a “ British Invasion “ band…they came to the US from England
The Brothers Gibb have been around since the 1960s I've seen them perform as a barber shop trio . The voices have been harmonising all their lives. As a 67yo Australian I've watched them grow up and lovem , one of their pre disco albums was titled " Cucumber Castle "
I was hoping that you were doing To much Heaven but this is great too,and I'm sure you'll get to it someday lol.This is off the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Bee Gee stands for Brothers Gibb. They are 3 of the 4 Gibb brothers, Andy being the youngest and a solo act. Barry is the oldest and the lead singer. Robin and Maurice are twins. Robin has lead on a few songs. They were the bomb back in the day.
The genius of not only The Bee Gees, but also all of the executives who backed them, is: very few people would have had the vision to see that a female-sounding falsetto was going to work for guys trying to come off as cool in the 70's, an era of muscle cars and Dirty Harry. It was a courageous thing when you look at the music they were competing with.
@@eximusic Since a lot of reactors are surprised they are guys, (if they've heard the song before), I do think it's fair to call them "female-sounding." But I do agree with your technical point, and with the a lot of the influences. But those were influences. That exact sound--including how the voices fit into the compositions--was very original. But I agree, if we're looking for examples of that sort of voice working for a male singer in popular music, then the black singers in blues and soul and gospel were where we would have been most likely to see some awesome examples of it.
@@kanevard Yes, my bad. You are correct, they weren’t born in Australia but moved there when they were young and formed the band. I’m sure as expats, they likely took on some of the Australian accent but in no way know that for sure.
@@Jason-Taylor I am sure you are right they would have sounded like "true blue banana benders" at the time But I don't think they held on to the accent.
They're British. They didn't spend too much time in Australia. Robin had the strongest accent of the three. Barry's accent is still British even though more than half is life has been spent in Miami. His wife's accent is gone though.
The Bee Gees are the best!!!!! Please react to Too Much Heaven and you will really here Barry with his high falsetto!!!! They have some really great hits!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
When I took my first aid course, they told us to sing this in our heads while doing chest compressions to keep the proper beat. Also, "stayin' alive" seems a fitting thought when trying to save someone
“Too much Heaven” is a MUST! You’ll definitely be blown away! The video with them standing wearing white shirts- The MOVIE Saturday Night Fever with a young John Travolta is a must see- 😝. Great movie and soundtrack!💙💜👍
Bee-gees had high voices on some songs. It was disco time, and it was in. If you can find a British show "The Kenny Everet Video show" they did a spoof of the bee-gees and you would laugh and understand whats going on. The high piched voices were also a 50's doo-wop sound. Gotta know rock and roll to understand it. You 2 are on your way...
@@danosverige There big brake came with winning a radio song contest on Brisbane radio called the gong show. They were named The BeeGee's by a Brisbane radio DJ. All documented information.
The Bee Gees have a dozen bangers from the 70s, and a ton o songs from earlier days too. Some, are: "You Should Be Dancing" "Jive Talkin'" "Nights on Broadway" "More Than a Woman" "Night Fever" "How Deep is Your Love?" "Boogie Child" "Wind of Change" "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" "Too Much Heaven."
20 numbers one hits, 250 million record sold over the world, each 12 secons one bee gees song is played in any radio station around the world, they were incredible, genius. and for many people the greatest group all time
This was my favorite reaction by you two so far. Brad finally lightened up a little, and what was the result... Brad made a Lexism and Lex cheered with recognition! Keep up the great work Lex. Eventually his stick will fall out.
It is so interesting that Lex points out that "its not falsetto". In an interview, we learned that they tried to get Barry to learn to sing in falsetto. They finally got that delivered in "TOO MUCH HEAVEN". And that is truly one of the most beautiful songs EVER recorded. And the vocals just melt you inside. Gorgeous song. That should be your next BeeGees experience - please please please.
These are all brothers and they are major talented , some of the best and most beautiful voices ever. Andy Gibb too was thier brother who had a solo career. Nights on Broadway is one you need to listen too They can sing high and low , thier voices are just fantastic and no one can touch them
The BEE GEES were the soundtrack of the 70's. They had a younger brother, ANDY GIBB who also had his share of hits. .Sadly, Andy died just days after his 30th birthday. Maurice and Robin Gibb have passed on, as well. Barry is the lone survivor of the Gibb brothers.
Those of us who grew up with the early BeeGees on the radio take their falsettos for granted. It's just the BeeGees. Sibling harmonies like theirs are very special and they were masters.
This is probably the biggest song in Disco, it's been used in a ton of movies. When we were teens my friend thought it was hilarious to ride around town blasting this song for all to hear.
They in essence created disco - and it became their curse. Vilified and made fun of, and never given credit until decades later. Brilliant song writers - and had 4 number 1 hits off this soundtrack which was paired to an iconic film SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER./
Brad & Lex please react my favorite Bee Gees song: ❤ "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart"! Its also what they named their documentary. Barry's voice is amazing on it! 😍 Then, react to Al Green covering it LIVE IN SOUL 1972! He truly made it his own. He gives a master class performance & makes you feel every word. Lex is gonna freak out. 🤣
Bee Gees are my favourite British Band but here is how they managed to get the high pitch vocals of their voice th-cam.com/video/8FEbFLsA59M/w-d-xo.html
Brad just had a Lex moment! And i think it caught Lex off guard🤘 The Bee Gees stands for the Brothers Gibb. They were the absolute embodiment of disco in the 70's
Probably the greatest songwriters of all time. The amount of number 1s they've had both as artists or for other artists with songs they've written is unbelievable
Sorry Brad, it does indeed slap, Lex is correct as usual. I’m legit stunned you guys haven’t heard this before, it’s probably one of the top ten pieces of pop music of all time.
Lex heard it before she said it’s her mom favorite and Brad said he heard it before. It’s one thing hearing something in the background or in passing it’s another thing sitting down and actually listening to it.
@@soakedbearrd right… I’m stunned they haven’t heard it in the full meaning, I was born in 1989 and knew this song backwards and forewords by the mid 90’s. It’s literally (see my comment) one of the most iconic pieces of pop music of all time. For a grown adult in 2021 to not even recognize this song is strange, no matter the circumstances.
@@Polyphemus89 1989 is considered mature now. They were born in late 90s. But I get what you are saying, all I can say is that times have changed and music has change, the only throw backs you hear now are through commercials and movies (usually redone different covers). Radio is dead. And the oldies now seem to be from 90’s and on. For the 80s it was the 60s, for the 90s it was the 70s, 2000’s it was the 80s, 2010s it was the 90s, and 2020s I’m sure will be the 2000s. Each generation seems to have throwbacks about two decades beforehand.
@@soakedbearrd why do you say they were born in the late '90s? I thought they posted a picture of themselves from around 2007 where they looked like teenagers. I've been trying to figure out how old they really are. I don't think they're that young.
Just one of many excellent songs from the Soundtrack to a wonderful movie Starring John Travolta called "Saturday Night Fever". If you haven't seen it, please do yourselves a favor and watch it - the disco club, the dancing and the backstory in the plot are all amazing memories from my childhood!
The BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) are all brothers. They've been around since the 60s. They started doing the falsetto in the mid 70s when disco got big. Their younger brother Andy had his own career in the 70s and was really popular. Try their song "Jive Talkin" for a funky non falsetto performance from them.
The singers are all brothers. The Gibbs, and they had really similar voices. The whole album was made as a soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, which set John Travolta's career up. And the album was one of the biggest all time records. The HBO documentary on The Bee Gees changed my view on them.

Yeah. You Should Be Dancing is when John Travolta does his iconic dancing with the pointing the one finger in the air. Great song. Great movie
That sounds track was the soundtrack of the late 70’s
I think Jive Talkin' predated those songs, but it was still pretty funky. It may have been the start of their disco phase.
I would like to see them do some research so they will know the history of the Bee Gees.

The mind blowing Bee Gee's song is I Started A Joke... it's so amazing that Faith No More covered it.
100 Top 40 songs, 21 number 1s, only group ever to have five songs in the Top 10 simultaneously. All talent, no autotune.
Bee Gee stands for Brothers Gibb. They are 3 of the 4 Gibb brothers, Andy being the youngest and a solo act. Barry is the oldest and the lead singer. Robin and Maurice are twins. Robin has lead on a few songs. They were the bomb back in the day.

Andy would certainly have become a full time BG had he lived.

Good, cultural point!
it's not a female sounding falsetto - most females don't need to use a falsetto. It was popularized by black male singers in the 60s, Motown, etc.
And, of course, the biggest rock group of the 1970s, Led Zeppelin, had a lead singer who often sounded like a woman.

“I’m pretty sure this was used in a movie”. It’s definitely possible…
"Airplane!"
These are all brothers and they are major talented , some of the best and most beautiful voices ever. Andy Gibb too was thier brother who had a solo career. Nights on Broadway is one you need to listen too They can sing high and low , thier voices are just fantastic and no one can touch them
"Ok, I'm Pretty Sure That This Was Used In A Movie"
You're absolutely correct, Brad
It was used in the John Travolta movie "Saturday Night Fever"
Yep. In fact, half of that soundtrack were Bee Gees songs. Check 'em all out. Also, Too Much Heaven.
😂😂
@@Go4Jeph More Than A Woman was on the soundtrack of "Saturday Night Fever" also, if I remember correctly
also in Airplane the Movie.
@@PDCDeafChurch that's true, in the scene where Robert Hayes was talking about how his character met the stewardess who he was pursuing
You'll never find another singer with a voice like Barry Gibb with such a dynamic octive range
The BEE GEES were the soundtrack of the 70's. They had a younger brother, ANDY GIBB who also had his share of hits. .Sadly, Andy died just days after his 30th birthday. Maurice and Robin Gibb have passed on, as well. Barry is the lone survivor of the Gibb brothers.
Those of us who grew up with the early BeeGees on the radio take their falsettos for granted. It's just the BeeGees. Sibling harmonies like theirs are very special and they were masters.
This is in Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta Classic 🔥
one of the greatest bass grooves ever. and Lex's face at 5:32... holy shit!!!!
'You win again' and 'How deep is your love' are my suggestions for more Bee Gees songs
Legends...simple as that.
Anytime your down. Play this song. Automatically better. Believe that!
This is probably the biggest song in Disco, it's been used in a ton of movies. When we were teens my friend thought it was hilarious to ride around town blasting this song for all to hear.
They in essence created disco - and it became their curse. Vilified and made fun of, and never given credit until decades later. Brilliant song writers - and had 4 number 1 hits off this soundtrack which was paired to an iconic film SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER./
For Song Writing maybe Islands In The Stream is their best, they also wrote The Walls Fell Down for the Marbles in the 1960s
@@highpath4776 Islands in the stream their best? Have you listened to their whole catalogue of works?
@@eviekelpie1 The best that they wrote for someone other than themselves.
@@highpath4776 I like what they wrote for Barbra Streisand, Samantha Sang(Emotion)
One of the greatest songs by the greatest bands. I'm still in love with you, Lex!
Along with Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," this is the most iconic of Disco songs.
Most of the Bee Gees music is how describe as " Feel Good Music"!! Always gets your feet amovin and head boppin 👍😁❤️
Brad & Lex please react my favorite Bee Gees song: ❤ "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart"! Its also what they named their documentary. Barry's voice is amazing on it! 😍
Then, react to Al Green covering it LIVE IN SOUL 1972! He truly made it his own. He gives a master class performance & makes you feel every word. Lex is gonna freak out. 🤣
Bee Gees are my favourite British Band but here is how they managed to get the high pitch vocals of their voice th-cam.com/video/8FEbFLsA59M/w-d-xo.html
All brothers and two are twins. What a great combination for harmonizing!
Really was a fun stream with your mom Lex. I am so happy for you Brad & Lex. My favorite Bee Gees song is "To Love Somebody"
Bee Gees are Heros.............pure Music with a wonderful Falsetto............so dope
"Too Much Heaven" by The Bee Gees......DO IT
THEY ARE KINGS OF DISCO!!!😅😊 and the kings of high falsettos!😊
This is disco 🕺
Brad just had a Lex moment! And i think it caught Lex off guard🤘 The Bee Gees stands for the Brothers Gibb. They were the absolute embodiment of disco in the 70's
One of many huge hits from the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack. The movie starred John Travolta and made him a superstar
You’re right when you said “Disco”, because these guys were the kings of “Disco” back in the 70’s.
Probably the greatest songwriters of all time. The amount of number 1s they've had both as artists or for other artists with songs they've written is unbelievable
Too Much Heaven is a lovely one. Looking forward to that
Sorry Brad, it does indeed slap, Lex is correct as usual. I’m legit stunned you guys haven’t heard this before, it’s probably one of the top ten pieces of pop music of all time.
Lex heard it before she said it’s her mom favorite and Brad said he heard it before. It’s one thing hearing something in the background or in passing it’s another thing sitting down and actually listening to it.
@@soakedbearrd right… I’m stunned they haven’t heard it in the full meaning, I was born in 1989 and knew this song backwards and forewords by the mid 90’s. It’s literally (see my comment) one of the most iconic pieces of pop music of all time. For a grown adult in 2021 to not even recognize this song is strange, no matter the circumstances.
@@Polyphemus89 Not everyone has the same childhood.
@@Polyphemus89 1989 is considered mature now. They were born in late 90s. But I get what you are saying, all I can say is that times have changed and music has change, the only throw backs you hear now are through commercials and movies (usually redone different covers). Radio is dead. And the oldies now seem to be from 90’s and on. For the 80s it was the 60s, for the 90s it was the 70s, 2000’s it was the 80s, 2010s it was the 90s, and 2020s I’m sure will be the 2000s. Each generation seems to have throwbacks about two decades beforehand.
@@soakedbearrd why do you say they were born in the late '90s? I thought they posted a picture of themselves from around 2007 where they looked like teenagers. I've been trying to figure out how old they really are. I don't think they're that young.
They wrote and did the backing for the song Chain Reaction for Diana Ross if you want to check that one out.
This song is featured in the movie, "Saturday Night Fever". Staring John Travolta.
Just one of many excellent songs from the Soundtrack to a wonderful movie Starring John Travolta called "Saturday Night Fever". If you haven't seen it, please do yourselves a favor and watch it - the disco club, the dancing and the backstory in the plot are all amazing memories from my childhood!
When my wife was in med school they would use the chorus from this to time doing CPR. Truly staying alive.
The BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) are all brothers. They've been around since the 60s. They started doing the falsetto in the mid 70s when disco got big. Their younger brother Andy had his own career in the 70s and was really popular. Try their song "Jive Talkin" for a funky non falsetto performance from them.
The Bee Gees started in the 60's with great ballads, then they were obviously in the 70's disco scene.
It's from the movie Saturday night fever
Brings back happy vibes being a kid in the 70's with my mother....
This song was featured in the movie “Airplane!” Funny af if you haven’t seen it
Did you know they thought John Travolta had COVID? After testing they discovered it was "Saturday Night Fever."
@@armadillotoe *rimshot
And also in Ready Player One. I busted out laughing in the theater, "YEAH!!!!" 😆
Born Manchester England family imigrated to Australia..brothers grew up came back to England and started having hits after hits 1960's..
"Too Much Heaven" is another great one for you to check out 👍
All the fking brothers are so talented that make me feel… happy. They can also sibg low but mostly it is this.
