Great reaction! If these brothers are singing it, they wrote and produced it as well. They have well over 1000 songs in their catalog that spans over 50 years, and wrote for many other artist. They wrote 3 #1 hits in one day, they were amazing!
The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (short hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too th-cam.com/video/7niXSh7vWRI/w-d-xo.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: th-cam.com/video/WH_j90fCIk4/w-d-xo.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out th-cam.com/video/vfHUS5Mf00Q/w-d-xo.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: th-cam.com/video/MT9vRHSWNbk/w-d-xo.html. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you th-cam.com/video/CA4CInDnTk8/w-d-xo.html. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: th-cam.com/video/162GlAEpfrY/w-d-xo.html. Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on th-cam.com/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/w-d-xo.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing th-cam.com/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/w-d-xo.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg
I'm a 70+-year-old woman. I'm good with being your bro. Very nice reaction. Sometime check out the video for this song, produced when they were younger.
Request for the 5 times Larry Bird was injured but refused to quit and the 4 times Larry Bird was hurt but showed toughness. The injuries he played through are mind blowing. Now on to some of the greatest songs and artists. Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leopard. More Than A Feeling by Boston. Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf. I Remember You by Skidrow. Roll With The Changes by R E O Speedwagon. Never Been To Spain by Three Dog Night. The Logical Song by Supertramp. Who Loves You by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Someone You Love by Jordan Heart. Real World by Matchbox Twenty. Original videos.
Official video gives you a much better view of what they are putting out there... especially since this is 11 years after they dropped this tune.. not that they are not great live, but some tunes, have add libs, That you can't recreate live, so the Artist's complete vision isn't there... I only feel it's right to at least play the songs in the same decade they did them in... there Medley, (which you guys today call a "mash") from this Concert in Melbourne Australia '89, Is Awesome... 12 mins. Long... one mic 🎤 3 brothers, & a guitar... (a little music coming from the back)... Their voices are so strong! And brother Mo, fools around w/ the camera... (something he has done since they were kids)... always making home movies... but in the video, you will see, it's the same brother singing lead... because they have aged so much in this one, you can't tell (you) who is who? See them In the same decade they sang this song. As it topped the charts. You can only sing that falsetto, in so many concerts & recordings, until It's not quite as strong anymore... And they are great LIVE! But best, in The time, in which Album, they were touring for... at this time, they had been laying low for close to a decade. Spending time at home w/ their wives & children. Then, they began touring again not long, at the time of this concert. It's hard to find much live or videos, they were one of the few, doing videos in the 70's... And that's when the 1st video you watched was from, the late 70's... They dropped that single, in '78... Then added to their '79 album... Music videos didn't become big until MTV got big into the 80's... before that, we had the "Midnight Special!" Which was Always LIVE! They do have some great lives if the Bee Gees! Like "NIGHTS ON BROADWAY!" ('75)As well as others. They were on the Midn SP... several times in the 70's.😊
No problem, we had our own slang back in the day. I'm in my 70's and I really enjoy seeing young people enjoying our music.
Great reaction
Barry was the lead in both videos you’ve reacted to.
bee gees fanny be tender with my love
The original song was from the 70’s, and it was the first of 6 straight #1 songs by them.
And Barry, the lead in Too Much Heaven, is the same guy that’s leading this song.

This concert was done 20 years later than the Too Much Heaven video you reacted to.
