Beautiful reaction to Robin’s signature song, which was played at his funeral. May he rest in eternal peace.
I didn't know they Played this at his funeral
A voice lost to the world
*As was Rings around the Moon. This was on young Rjs phone who placed it on his father's chest when he died*
Absolutely. One of my favorites for sure. RIP Robin. He left us so much to treasure for years to come. It gets me every time.
😭😭😭😭💔
Franklly, I think you are one of the most thoughtful and sensitive music reviewers online. I'm 72, but always appreciate your reactions. Keep it going, man!
I couldn't agree more. He's the only one that I've subscribed to.
I'm new here, 75 y/o, and feel the same way. This guy is the real deal!
Yes SalvoG gets it! He's very open and appreciates good music and shows his heart ❤️
@@MicheleCampbell-t6c That's why I'm here. My first video was his reaction to 'In the Air Tonight (Live)'. I immediately subbed.
Another one in is 70's & I agree 100%
Robins voice was hauntingly beautiful. We still miss you Robin. And Maurice too. ❤❤
I had a rough childhood. I was 13 when this came out. I thought of this as my anthem. I’m almost 69. I survived. Thank you, BeeGees. ❤
Hey, Debra! glad you made it through.. Robin had the most beautiful and vulnerable vocals... always my favorite... I'm 63, so I get it, too!
Yeah. Yeah. But we're here. We made it. I'm sure you're as proud of that survival as am I.
Yes,I feel that way about Bowie's music for the same reason as well as loving Bee Gee's.
I totally relate to your comment. Track you for saying that
Me too. I was only little but it helped for sure. 54 now haha xx
I admire a man that can be moved to tears. That means you have a Soul!
And a heart.
👍🤗❤️
A big, big heart. It was wonderful to see someone react this way, the way I do every time I hear it. Every. Single. Time. Yes, I play it often.
I know that Barry got most of the attention and praise in the group mainly for his falsetto and I understand that but this vocal by Robin is second to none in my humble opinion.
Maurice also had a beautiful voice. It’s a shame the brothers weren’t each showcased more evenly.
True, all were equally talented ❤❤,,
Robin's voice is vulnerable, & heartbreaking on it's own, so when he sings something sad, I always start crying.......he was one of those unique voices, that can literally pierce your soul 💖💖💖
This song always brought me to tears. I'm 82 and it delights me to see a young man who can be so moved, as well.
Your reaction was beautiful. Robin has the affect on so many. He didn't realize he was as popular as his brother. He was tormented internally I think. You can see that with the songs he writes. But his voice is the most beautiful I've ever heard. Thanks for the awesome reactions. Keep it up.
Words is Barry's big solo song- this was Robin's. His vibrato just makes this song even more poignant. What a great choice.
100% agree
Best Vibrato ever
And Man in the Middle was. maurice's
I saw the Bee Gees in Perth Western Australia in the mid 70's. When Robin sang this song as he sang higher at the end he nearly lifted the roof off the stadium and the standing ovation was incredible. Such a powerful voice that cannot be heard on record, cd or dvd.
Also saw him during his solo tour.
Robin’s voice always gets me, especially in their song For Whom the Bell Tolls (1993) That song made me weep the first time I heard it.
Definitely do more Robin lead songs. Maurice also had a very beautiful and unique voice and sang lead on some great songs too. Definitely worth checking out ❤
Maurice wrote and sang lead on 'Man In The Middle", a song he wrote after going to rehab. It was for his beautiful wife.
If you watch them do Nights on Broadway on The Midnight Special, Maurice sings in falsetto at the end, whereas Barry sings throughout with his chest voice. Amazing. They were all so versatile in their talents.
Love For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Alone, both because of Robin's vocals. His voice is like a tear about to fall. What a loss. Maurice too. Poor Barry.
A beautiful sad song! Always loved Robins voice
If you love Robin's voice try Run To Me.
Great song
The first BeeGees single I bought. I was 7. I loved Robin's voice as a child and still adore it now I am almost 60 ❤️
Or...I Can't See Nobody...
Robin’s mother, Maurice and Barry called Robin the Songbird and his voice touched your heart ❤️👍🏻🤩🏴
Its his Voice. Their mother says his voice raised the hair on her neck.
You're the Best... thank you❤
It always gives me chills.
The Bee Gees actually began their careers in Australia, where they lived for many years when very young. Their first number 1, Spicks and Specks was in Australia. That would be the reason for the first two albums being released in Australia. I have been a Bee Gees fan since they started in Australia. Robin Gibb had one of the finest voices of his generation, imo. It is glorious.
@Top500Songs-zo1ffCompletely agree as I've always preferred Barry's voice over a quivering vibrato. Barry's voice was suited to any type of musical genre and he could sing anything & with anyone.🎼
@Top500Songs-zo1ff rubbish
@Top500Songs-zo1ff nope. You're wrong.
😊
@Top500Songs-zo1ff Dude I don't know where you got your info from but your story is not the one I've heard at all.
❤Beautiful reaction. Robin also leads off How Can You Mend A Broken Heart💔 and he was lead on the amazing For Whom The Bell Tolls. His vibrato is so unique.
Robin's voice is 1 in a million. A later song that highlights Barry and Robin's voices is For Whom the Bell Tolls. It's been said that the Bee Gees don't write lyrics, they write emotions. You are a wonderful and thoughtful reactor. Great work
As an older listener, I much prefer the early BeeGees to the 70’s disco era. I love Robins voice in many of the early songs
I'm also an older listener (in my mid 60s). In their post disco era they did return to their roots. "Still Waters" is a beautiful example and one of my favorites of theirs.
@Top500Songs-zo1ffTry 50 years. Talk about getting things wrongm😅
@Top500Songs-zo1ff 🤪🥴🤪😂🤣😂🤣
You mean to tell me you don't spell wrong WRONGM? Geez, after all these years, I never 🤪knew. Thx genius. 🥴
@@jaynethomas7380 Go back to school.
There is nothing as pure as Robins voice. It stirs the soul.
Robin had such a beautiful voice.
I've noted for awhile , that overlooking Robin , and his notable solo s ......was / is a mistake . This tune , I Started a Joke , is actually my favorite , of all BeeGee s songs . Robin also does a terrific solo of . : Massachusetts ".Thanx for this reaction .
No one has as much emotion in their voice as Robin Gibb…no one
Their music BEFORE the disco era was their best music
I completely agree! Their voices were pure, haunting, and heartfelt.
Emotion is nothing to be ashamed of. I found that very touching I even teared 😢 up. Robins voice just goes threw ur heart. BRILLIANT🎉
I miss his voice. RIP Andy, Mo and Robin. You are missed.
Wasn't that simply amazing? This was my first real exposure to the Bee Gees-- Me, a 19 year old angsty college sophomore, lonely for home and feeling awkward and strange with everyone. I loved this song. I felt Robin was a kindred spirit.
Beautiful song, haunting and mysterious. A delivery - perfect. RIP Robin.
Everyone is so taken by Barry's voice, his incredible falsetto, that they forget that Robin sang lead on a lot of their earlier songs. Robin has a distinctive sound, he is incredible with I'VE GOT TO GET A MESSAGE TO YOU and he wrote and sang of my home state MASSACHUSETTS.. One of my absolute favorite Bee Gees songs is TRAGEDY. A much more hard rocking sound.
According to all the important tabloids at the time (Tiger Beat, etc.) Barry wrote Massachusetts on a dare that there were words he couldn't write a song about.
I wish I could remember who it was that dared him. Anyway, the word chosen was Massachusetts. I can understand thinking no one could do that. He not only won the dare he also wrote such a beautiful song.
Oh, I just remembered where I heard this recently. It was a documentary about the group, with Barry discussing how hard it is to believe he outlived all of his brothers, including Andy.
So I also heard it from his mouth, verifying what I remember reading in Tiger Beat. So it must have been any of his three brothers.
As I write this, I remember Barry saying the falsetto was not his idea. One of the brothers was doing the falsetto. Their producer at the time (me with CRAC, sorry) had Maurice try for it, so we got Barry. The producer wanted Robin to save his very special voice.
Love the Bee Gees' early music especially 60's-70's. You are hearing Robin Gibb's voice in this song "I Started A Joke" from 1968. He also sang lead on "Massachusetts", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" etc. Some of their other early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", ""Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First Of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
Wonderful
❤"And The Sun Will Shine" has a similar effect on me, as yours was to
"I Started A Joke"❤ ...it's just _the_ most intense feeling, yet difficult to describe. Robin Gibb was _always_ my favourite 'BeeGee' right from the start and I felt so sorry for him (and Barry etc) when Andy died, and even more so when Maurice - his twin brother - younger than Robin by 30 minutes - died after so short an illness, albeit that Maurice suffered intense abdominal pain prior to his death... Awful.😢 Then, Robin... I was so sad, and poor Barry, his sister and all of the Gibb children...
Condolences to all who grieve.
🌺 Rest In Peace Andy Gibb,
Maurice Gibb & Robin Gibb
(& their parents, too).🌺
Always loved their pre-disco stuff so much more than anything they ever did.
@@karnsfan I agree
Don’t forget the best Bee Gee song of all time, “I Can’t See Nobody”. Robin is at the top of his game on that one.
I really enjoy watching young people enjoy music from my days, but you are now my favorite. I love that you allow us to see your real response and feelings!
It takes a man to show his emotions to the extent of tears. Robin has a voice that can touch within.
One of the best Bee Gees songs. Totally unique voice and perfectly done by Robin.
The Bee Gees were remarkable singers and songwriters 💕
Oh my goodness Robins voice was so gorgeous.
The song HOLIDAY ❤ Robin’s vibrato has a haunting quality, strong and clear. Most BeeGees songs that are sad, feature his voice as lead. His voice is so unique that I actually recognized it when I heard an “unknown” Bee Gees song used as a sound track on a TV show. Maurice has the deepest voice of the 3, but they know where to use the voices on their songs to get the best emotional response from listeners. The combination of voices makes magic. Listen to them sing live at concerts. You can see how they combine their voices and some live performances are even better than studio versions. Listen to their individual voices and see how they mesh together so beutifically
th-cam.com/video/MLHygxb95fA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hdbbxwtM_52iHFui
Song My World also showcases his vocals
Robin definitely has a very emotional voice. Great reaction.
Robin had the most beautiful voice. Tears are the natural reaction to this rendition.
Robin’s son RJ pulled this song up on his phone when he passed away, placed phone on his dad’s chest and played it. RJ said brought a whole new meaning to him. RJ does a great tribute to his dad singing this song as part of the Gibb Collective in my opinion. 😢always brings me to tears
💔
He destroys the SONG.. he's not a GIBB
@@CeciliaRodriguezRoge-eg6nl we will respectfully have to agree to disagree
@@CeciliaRodriguezRoge-eg6nl - I agree. RJ bears no physical or vocal resemblance to Robin. He is Dwina's son. He does look very much like Dwina's ex, David, who she split with in 1982. RJ was born in January of 1983. We can do the math. RJ was also adamant about Snow not being Robin's daughter, perhaps fearful of losing some inheritance. She is Robin's doppelganger although half Asian. Interestingly, Spencer, Melissa and Snow received money after Robin died. RJ did not. Snow received a home for her and her mother. Dwina got the Prebendal. My analysis, take it or leave it.
@@RuthBair-ht1fj - Respectfully, read my other comment and feel free to make your own judgement.
Robin sang lead on many of their earlier songs. You can usually tell it's him by his incredible vibrato. Other early songs to check out: Got to Get a Message to You, To Love Somebody, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart and Massachusetts. And post Saturday Night Fever: Nights on Broadway, Tragedy, Love You Inside and Out and Jive Talking. All these songs are superb!
I love this song. One of my faves. Robin was so special.
He sang his soul!😊
Robin Gibb had one of the most unique voices ever to exist. This song is so haunting. Lyrics just are so sad but beautiful. No one will ever compare to the bee gees
Robin my favorite. His voice, omg. Pierces my soul. This song hurts my heart and then his puppy dog eyes R.I.P Robin.
I'm 72 and English. I remember when the Bee Gees were new in Britain. They were all born on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, but then moved to Manchester, their mother's home town, where they started singing in public at a very young age. Then they moved to Australia, where they became professional and left school early. They were amazed by the Beatles when they went to Australia and tried for some years to have a hit record. Then decided to return to England and sign up with Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager. He was too busy and passed them to Robert Stigwood, who took them to success. I always liked Robin the best he had a beautiful voice and when I found out that he was short-sighted like me, it was even better. He said it gave him confidence to go on stage, as he couldn't see the audience. Barry always said that Robin punched more than his weight, both physically and musically.
ELLEN VANNAN ISLE OF OF Man antham ROBIN JUST KILLS IT
Yes, that's a lovely record. Only produced in a limited issue, to raise money for the Isle of Man children's hospital.
SalvoG, what a wonderful reaction to Robin's signature song. Every time he performed it live he received a standing ovation sometimes lasting over a minute. One live performance that you should check out would be 1989's Melbourne concert, one of his most notable performances of this amazing song where he did receive a very long standing o. One very horrible incident in Robin's life that probably contributed to him writing very sad songs like "I Started a Joke" was the November 1967 Hither Green train disaster where he and future wife Molly were almost killed. Robin, still a teenager, was nearly decapitated from a train rail that came through their car and missed him by mere inches. He got out through a window and helped Molly out as well and continued to help others who were badly hurt or worse and this horrible experience stayed with him his entire life. Barry even said that it brought the pathos out in his brother and he was never the same. What a brave young man he was that day but it had a very lasting effect on him. Thank you for reacting to one of Robin's most beautiful leads and if I could suggest one other. "I Can't See Nobody" is another amazing Robin lead and "The Midnight Special" channel recently released a 1973 live performance which, in my humble opinion, is his best performance ever of this extraordinary song. He poured his heart and soul into all his live performances but this 1973 performance was just mesmerizing. Please consider reacting to this wonderful Robin lead. It would be greatly appreciated.
Wow...never knew about that.
@lauriebarnes2999 hey Laurie❤ absolutely right. He was only 17 that horrific night, and a hero, pulling others from the wreckage. Living in Chicago and Country Lanes are more beautiful Robin leads.
@@jpmnewyork - In that train wreck there was a young man about his own age crying out to Robin "Please don't let me die" but Robin couldn't get him out of the tangled wreckage and his voice faded away. The next day, although told to rest he said he had to let his feelings out and he wrote a song with the lyrics "Really and Sincerely I tried". It could be interpreted as a love song but the meaning is clear. At only 17 he had to comfort people terribly injured some even needing on the spot amputations to free them, many died impaled by rails. He had PTSD for life. It wasn't recognised or treated back then.
I agree.. I am a 65 year woman from Holland..
Just can't get enough of the Beegees... I was raised by their music, fell in love with a man looking just like Barry.. Only problem is... my husband CANNOT sing... 😅😂
Whenever I hear this song...I am reminded of how it might be a song of someone spiraling into depression. That is how I see this song. It is incredibly deep and beautiful...and SAD AND HELPLESS at the same time. Robin's voice is unique and I have never heard anyone else sound like HIM...in my 62 yrs on this Planet. The BeeGees will always be remembered fondly and with a ton of love and respect for their work...and their contributions to music. They have written songs for other artists...I believe.
One of my favourite Bee Gees songs! Robins voice was so unique, a strength coupled with a vulnerability that you cannot really put into words.
Robin's beautiful, ethereal voice went forever quiet way too soon...💜
It says something about those times, that a song like that would be played on the airwaves, right next to rock and roll and pop. There is always a place for profound music that actually makes us transcend our mundane lives and see a bigger picture ❤
This was the BeeGees I knew!!! Loved them before their Disco phase. At this time they were phenomenal.
They were pretty
phenomenal overall and there are lots of non-disco of them after that period too.
Robin's voice has that quality of just hitting you right in the feels. I've been waiting for a year for you to react to this beautiful song...and for this very reason. You should check out a live version. You won't regret it.
I agree. Listening to it live is an experience.
The Gibb family moved from the Uk to Australia & lived in the Redland Shire here in Queensland Australia. My late Mums friend was the one who gave the brothers there first break on local tv when they were still kids.
This is the 1st time I have listened to this song for nearly 30 years - for reasons. Thank you - also - as much as I love them as a group - Robin's voice always hits me in the heart. Maurice also has a lovely voice- and their younger brother Andy. But Robin - always special. 😉
Hi SalvoG, This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I was introduced to it by a lovely lady called Christine in the late 1980's. I had a holiday in 1989 to Kenya, and I played this multiple times through my headphones on the outbound flight. After 3 glorious weeks, I returned, with this amazing piece of music whirling around my head for the whole 8 hour flight! I cried. Cried some more.......
I thank you for your reaction to this, and completely understand why it brought tears to your eyes. What an honest reaction. Robin's voice was astonishing. From Robin to Robin.
Robin was the best singer! Love this song.
🇬🇧 This one had the same effect on me the first time I heard it. It still does tbh. RIP Robin & Maurice. You will always be loved & missed. 🎼💔
This was my first favorite song of the Bee Gees. They changed their sound so many times through the years. Always moving on with the musical tides.
I love they way you look up information about the songs before reacting, so that you have good grasp of their background. Not many reactors take the time to do that!
That's why I joined. I like that Salvo has some idea but not enough to spoil the experience.
Robin's voice and the lyrics of the song are haunting and I cry every time I hear it even though it's so beautiful it's hard to explain,
great reaction ...so good to see a man not afraid to cry
Though this song is considered old in musical reference, it still springs new to the masses who perpetually discover and rediscover the talents of the Bee Gees. Even those of us who have been fans for the span of a generation find new meaning in old lyrics as life carries us into dimensions we have never before explored.
Often seen as a spiritual commentary on Robin's part, he has never claimed that to be the basis of the piece, as such. Experience draws us all in a diversity of directions, often all at once, and inspiration is the trickle-down of that overload.
I am not one to climb into the great minds of our times and autopsy their brainchild of work but I have an awareness of something woven into the lyric here that I've never before seen discussed. The piece encompasses only eight lines of poetic statement, clean and straight-forward in appearance and delivery, yet steeped in the mystery of a thousand ages. This song leaves naked, parts of the soul we tend to keep covered, even from our own deeper selves.
We see in it, our own personal sins of omission that do not look so pretty in black and white and are even more haunting when presented in a package of understated music and single-voiced verse. Although I do see where the spiritual intonation peers through the lyric at us, I see here, too, the personal commentary of an inner moral dilemma being posed by the subject and the step by step process by which he rationalizes his justification for not following his inner personal voice. This person wants desperately to shed his etiquetted skin and stand on the purity of truth rather than cower in civilized silence in the face of injustice.
He theorizes the consequences of such an action on his part. He knows his statement will upset the world that, up to this point, was living comfortably in its own shallow self-deception. Because his view is so different from everyone else, he knows this will upset the sedate tranquility of those around him. In defensive retaliation, rather than re-examining, reforming, and admitting to the error of their ways, society would turn its collective, disdainful back on his statement and proclaim the fundamental truth he has exposed to be merely the folly of a prankster.
He goes on to see that he will not be taken seriously and cries in the frustration of being the only one who has had this vision of truth and reality. He feels alone and small in the cosmos. At this, he knows the world will take great delight in his outward appearance of weakness and defeat and in their arrogance he knows they will unite in crushing declamation and mercilessly taunt him wherever he goes, all the days of his life.
He looks up, seeking heavenly approval and resolve of the issue. He attempts to clear his eyes searching for a sign of the miraculous awakening of those around him. Just as he begins to dry his eyes in the faith that, because of his sincerity of heart, there will surely now be change, he tumbles out of his dream-state into reality. He falls hard from grace back into the moment.
The enormity of the entire situation crashes over him like a tidal wave as he sees the ramifications of what he has started by his simple statement of truth. He is paralyzed in thought and can no longer make sense of his own words as they drown in the whirlpool of confusion between human emotion and soulful truth. He eventually dies a broken man because he knows the truth but never pursued it to the fullest of its intent due to his lack of courage in his own personal convictions. He saw himself as wholly inadequate to challenge what he did not approve of in this world so he never stood up for what he believed in.
After his death, civilization perpetuates itself in its blithe ignorance, unscathed by the voice of truth he held within. He is gone, and with him, the potential threat he posed to a thinly-skinned euphoric society.
In the end, he sees that he had indeed been right and that society was truly wrong. He knows then, all too late, that he would have made a difference if only he had not given in to his own imagined fears.
He wasted a lifetime repressing himself and the truth he had once envisioned. He had become his own worst enemy. He had shackled his own soul down - not the society that he had tried to hold accountable for his lack of action. He ultimately became the very thing he once morally raged against - a silent, self-deceiving member of a pretentious urbane society.
Yes, the joke WAS on him.
I was a nurse when “I Started A Joke” came out. I loved it so much I must have told all my patients how much I loved it. A few days later one of my patient and their family bought it for me. We weren’t suppose to take gifts but they gave it to me after my shif 11:15 t and outside of the hospital.. I loved the record and my dear pts. It ( the record and gesture) still means so much
@@YosheWilson The song has more meaning than people realize.
Wow. Incredible words. I just always thought he alienated himself but the way you explained takes me to a much deeper place. So much of what you said stands so true today. Maybe even more so. Thanks for your words.
Love your reactions, Salvo, but, heck, it's about time for this one... Robin was such an incredible talent. Well done! More of Robin's leads, please.
Wasn’t that beautiful, Salvo! “ this song by The Bee Gees is my favorite & yes, very emotional.👍♥️😪
I'm a new listener but, your reaction to this wonderfully haunting song just got you a new follower. All four brothers had great voices, but Robin's was always more emotional to me. Thank you for being an old soul.
Imo, Robin has the best voice but they're all good. Hopefully someday Salvo listens to Andy.
Robin is my favorite of the three, not that any of the weren't absolutely amazing!
Please, on your next BeeGees reaction, try their '90s popular songs: "Alone" or "Immortality" with Celine Dion. Would be fitting to pick the latter since Celine now is undergoing a physical illness that disables her from singing.
Alone ( yes )
Beautiful song
you are an amazing music reviewers .its so great you show emotion and delve into all music you hear.I just love it.thanks for being who you are and by not being afraid of putting it out there.
Thank you for playing this. Robin was my angel. I loved him my whole life through. No one on this earth will ever have this gorgeous voice! RIP, my love.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for going back past the disco. The Bee Gees are probably my all time ever vocal group.
*His voice does that to a lot of people, myself included, so no need to explain.
Best BeeGees song... For Whom The Bell Tolls
I hope you do more of their earlier work. They are so much more than disco.
Robin wrote this song.🙄 Robin had a beautiful voice.❤
Wow, I love hearing the early BeeGees. Robin's voice brings out my emotions. Tears to my eyes. Not sad, majestic.
My favorite Bee Gees song Robins voice is the best. ❤
Amazing song!!! Excellent Reaction 🙌🏻👏🏻
“Words” is another fantastic song by the Beegees
Such a beautiful song!
This song is so amazing and I love your heartfelt truthful reactions. I love the Bee Gee's and always have, always will and Robin's voice is just phenomenal here. Thank you!
This song touches your heart and gives it a little squeeze….❤️
Robin had such a warm voice. He'd pull you in to his songs
This could be my favorite Bee Gee song. I love Robin's voice!
My favorite Bee Gees song that Robin is singing the Lead, it’s definitely an emotional one
Their first two albums were probably only released in Australia because the British Invasion wasn't just British bands becoming known around the world. The Australian music scene was fairly insular until The Seekers' 1964 breakout hit "I'll Never Find Another You" topped charts worldwide. That opened the door for The Bee Gees, Helen Reddy, Olivia Newton-John and all the others who followed.
Bee Gees mainly consisted of three Brits so technically the band was British.
I don’t think that in all these years have I ever seen someone so moved by this song. Although, I understand where you’re coming from. For me, I usually react to the pain in a singer’s voice. But it’s also tough for me to watch some reactor’s as their reaction can make me become overly emotional to the point of choking up and getting weepy. But then again, I find these moments to be cathartic and healing. Thanks for being human and not a non-emotional block of granite. And as far as the early Bee Gee’s go, my favorites have always been “Words” and “Massachusetts”.
*Robin live performance around 1987 is perfection*
The Vegas live performance is my favorite.
One of their very best. Robin's voice, the lyrics, the background vocals, the whole production, make it a special song. Their early stuff was so good. I started hearing their music when I was eight or nine. One of my good friend's older siblings had their 'best of' album and we would listen to that a lot way back then. It's impossible for me to comprehend hearing this (or any of the music from back then) for the first time now, as an adult. This video is a good example of why I often enjoy watching reaction videos. Not so much the reaction itself, but seeing someone discover something new, seeing their appreciation of it and being affected by it. And the 'sharing' of it - even though you're not with that person, it still feels like you're sharing the experience of hearing the song.
I love the early BeeGees songs & Robin’s voice is mesmerizing with this song ( one of my favorites). Thanks for reacting to I Started A Joke 💔❤️🩹❤️☮️ Another fantastic song ‘ I’ve Got to Get A Message To You ‘😢
I know what you mean about reacting to Stevie Nicks voice, another voice to listen to is Mary Ann Faithful 🇬🇧
This is an absolute beautiful song ❤️ and a heartfelt reaction. When music touches your soul 🎶❤️
"Robin, do you have anything to say?"
" Yes, yes I do. "
If you want to try a later Robin song, I recommend "Bodyguard". Brilliant song, performance and recording. Should have been a massive hit.
By the way, Salvo, this studio edition is excellent, but seeing Robin singing this in concert, whether in the '70s, '80s or '90s, really hits home... thanks! It'd be worth a second reaction.
I like their '1 night in Vegas' video.
I think you should watch their concert One Night Only, from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 1997. They sing a great variety of their songs, and at one point the three of them gather at one mic and sing only to Barry’s guitar. Amazing concert!
To Love Somebody is another of their pre-disco songs to check out.
Could you please play Will you still love me tomorrow
I just love you to pieces, crazy about your reactions
Robin's voice is mesmerizing. Great reaction ❤
Such a haunting song. I saw them live and they sang this song. One of my favorite groups ever. Hugs brother. It is sad and very moving.
Please listen to and discuss all Robin’s lead vocal songs. I think you will be mind blown ❤️
They lived in Australia as children, and started their career there.
Wrong. They lived in the UK before moving to the Australia then moved back to the UK as it was the centre of the Worlds music industry.
Yes it's an amazing song and Robin doing it in his beautiful voice ❤️
Check out "New York mining disaster 1941!" You will love it!!! Robin singing solo!!!
