    I grew up as a confirmed heavy metal fanatic; there was a period where all of us thought it was cool to put The Bee Gees down: “effeminate, disco, blah blah blah”. Age and maturity have shown me my error. They were brilliant songwriters and singers. When you want to snuggle with your wife on a cold December night, you won’t put on Megadeth, it’ll be the Bee Gees. 😆

    I don't know which I enjoy more... your analysis of the music and vocals, or the expression of sheer joy you have when you hear something you like. Saying that you were never much of a Bee Gees fan leads me to think that your experience with them predates your love of music. They're from an Era where vocals and orchestration went hand-in-hand, so to truly listen to them you have to not just hear the vocals but also see how they interact with the music.

    These guys have been performing and writing music since 1955. Even as a solo act, Barry is still performing. As far as longevity and their special sound, nobody can hold a candle to the Bee Gees. Considering what they do with their voices, as a vocal coach, you should be a huge fan. No autotune or other crap was ever needed, just pure talent.

      From Wiki....
      "The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:[6]
      Barry on falsetto lead three times
      falsetto high harmony three times
      falsetto low harmony three times
      Barry on natural voice lead three times
      high harmony three times
      low harmony three times

    You’d prob enjoy their documentary “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart”! They’ve been singing together since they were little, so you’re right on that. No formal training. Barry and Robin would work on their harmonies and Maurice new instinctively where to fall in to complete the three part harmony. It was said in the documentary “when you’ve got brothers singing together, it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”. They have an amazing, huge catalogue of songs, and have written and produced many hits for other artists!

    The BeeGees - bloody fantastic songwriters, performers and musicians - their harmonies are peerless, and they have written some of the late 20th Century’s greatest songs. Modern artists take note - this is true talent! No silly choreography, gimmicky daftness, auto-tune or PR silliness. Just pure talent!

    I’m a baritone with around the same tone as Barry and I’ve been fascinated by his falsetto for a while. I practiced imitating him and found out that without that nasality it takes way more air to sing in that range and it doesn’t sound as good. When you sing with your nose just the right way, there is a sort of resonance that happens between the nose and the mouth cavities that sort of sharpens the high frequencies and smoothens the lower ones, kind of like you can mute some instruments to change their tone. It results in a clearer sound that you wouldn’t expect from a baritone if he just tried to push his vocal chords without.

    I remember seeing something years ago where the BeeGees were being interview in the studio, they were talking about always having something happening in a track to grab/keep the attention of the listener. Which seems to explain all those little vocal flourishes where maybe there would otherwise being a pause or a space.

    Great analysis of this song and the Bee Gees harmonizing. At the 7:52 mark, you say you have never been much of Bee Gees fan... I would think that with your knowledge of what they are doing you would be a mega-fan. I only knew a fraction of what just pointed out and I have been a fan since their start in the 1960's. Another, aspect is that they kept reinventing themselves all the while keeping their unique voices. When they came out with Jive Talking even seasoned radio personnel were dumfounded. They had written them off as three brothers singing folk type songs.

    Back in the 70s that type of high note was actually fairly common. But only the Bee Gees made it last. The modern band The Darkness were successful for taking the mickey out of that early 1970s sound.
    Part of the genius of the Bee Gees was the fact that they were brothers who had been singing together from almost the start - how many bands can claim that length of being constantly together like that?

  • @teknikolordreams
    @teknikolordreams 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Beth, I really enjoyed your reaction. Truth be told, the finished product you’re listening to is a bit of studio trickery - in the best possible way. There are 21 vocal tracks on “Too Much Heaven” - some are the brothers’ voices individually, while others are them singing together. But, as their co-producers would tell you, they multi-tracked so accurately that they didn’t listen to playback while they added layers. The vibrato/tremolo and phrasing was just automatic. Laser-precise. They really were some of the best singers in music history.

Music in those days was so good and unique. I watched a doc on the BEEGEES and how they stumbled on that falsetto sound and decided to run with it based on the time and musical style. So unique and so much a part of peoples lives who grew in that time. Miss you Mom.
