This song is about a man who is in death row waiting to die and he’s speaking to the chaplain and asking him to take a message to his wife. It’s a sad and tragic song as only The Bee Gees can write and perform. In the 60´s both Robin and Barry would share leads and Barry always used his chest voice in that time period. They are musical geniuses without a doubt. They are very underrated and unfortunately most people are not even interested in listening to them. Thank you for The Bee Gees reaction, love The Bee Gees.
As a young lad of 16, I used to bump into the brothers Gibb on a regular basis as they lived in a flat above the shops on the Watford Way London across the road from where I worked. They would always say hello. They came across as just ordinary down to earth Aussies ps I'm 72 now
I think the line 'one more hour and my life will be through' is a pretty strong hint it's going to be a sad song.
Robin and Mo are teenagers! Teenagers with that kind of vocal maturity. I have to tell you. This song came out when I was in 6th grade. The subject matter gave me the heebie geebies. "Well I did it to him. Now it's my turn to die." Yes, "Green Grass of Home" thing. I couldn't handle it, and barely can now. Only Robin could make this work. To me, the backing harmony is like a funeral dirge. I'm sure they intended it that way. They left nothing to chance. I appreciate it more now. Their voices together send me to the stratosphere. Mo is on the bass (white) and Vince Melouney played lead guitar. How much I love Vince is another story. LOL.
Well, I may as well mention Colin Petersen on drums who starred as the title character in the Australian film Smiley (with Chips Rafferty).
I'm 45 and when I was a teenager I started listening to them because of my aunt. I have always gravitated to songs that make you feel! Absolutely love the the Bee Gees! Their song "I STARTED A JOKE" has always been one of the saddest songs to me that they had!
Love that song and For Whom the Bell Tolls always makes me cry!
@@generationgapreacts You wanna see the Bee Gees REALLY young?! Then please react to this:
th-cam.com/video/WGQj0kdjPJc/w-d-xo.html
I grew up with this great group & had a lot of their albums. Most people react to their disco era. Nice to see you doing some of their early music. My favorites are from the 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "The Singer Sang His Song", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First Of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
They've reacted to a couple of those!👍
World is still my favourite
Hi, Dagmar: I grew up with them too. It's great to see that you have a long list of favourites; I know them all. It sounds to me like you prolly know them all but just in case, do you know Portrait of Louise from 2 Years On? That one is on my list of their best. Also, I discovered For Whom The Bell Tolls about ten tears ago and was blown away by it.
You're right younger people tend ro dismissed them as lightweights without bothering to really listen to them ...... thanks for your efforts to educate people....... as for the song , ⁹Robin came up with the idea and at first Barry and Maurice were like.....we don't want to sing about someone going to the chair.... but thankfully Robin managed to convince them and they ended up with a hit on their hands that has withstood the test of time.....
The Bee gees didn't like being thier disco era called disco music, they simply said its R&B music not disco music , but the media and public labelled it disco
I love Robins voice
You are spot on about Robin and his voice and how he always sound so sad. He and Maurice have always said that Robin sings with his heart so that's why he has that sad quality in his voice. His voice is so magnificent.
Mo was playing the bass. Go back and listen to the song again and focus on the bass-line. He is AWESOME!
Yes, yes, yes! Another featuring Robin's voice. He was probably 17 or 18 when this one was recorded!!!
As everyone knows Robin and Maurice were around 19 and Barry was 22,but their 60's songs hold up just as well as their blockbuster 70's pop and disco songs even without the falsettos
They didn’t know at this time that he could do a falsetto until Nights on Broadway song . This song was released in 1968, Nights on Broadway release in 1975, in studio that is where this discovered the falsetto
This song and many others were before the disco era, and my favorite is Lonely Days.
Would you please react to "Ellan Vannin" with the King's College Choir although Robin was very frail and unwell. Regardless his voice was still there and the song beautiful! Other great Robin leads, "Black Diamond" and "Country Lanes". Can't get enough of that voice. An up tempo song he did was "Fallen Angel". He did do songs that weren't all sad ballads.
Robin's idea for "Gotta get a message" was about a convicted man who killed his wife's lover. Mo and Barry didn't like his idea but he insisted it was a love song so then they agreed.
Mo was on the white bass. They said songs just came to them out of thin air as if already written and somehow sent to them telepathically. They heard music in everything from noise on a rickety bridge (Jive Talkin) to airplane engines (I started a Joke).
A lot of generations didn't treat them well. Jealousy plus disco was labelled as black and gay music. How DARE white boys sing R&B! Not their fault. Ironically people like Elton John and Brian May loved their music as did the Beatles.
Fallen Angel is one of my favorites. Ellan Vannin is a beautiful must hear!
@@willow_wise - Really hope they do Ellan Vannin. He looked so unwell and when he walked away to the back of the church at the end it was so symbolic to me that he knew he would not be with us much longer. 😭😭
@@susieq9801 Sad 😭😭
Hi, Susie Q: I just watched Ellan Vannin for the first time and it is a very emotional video. His last words in the song, "I'm going back to my childhood days once more" really hit me . And then, soon after, a blonde haired girl with a beautiful smile really topped it off. I had his album, Robin's Reign on the ATCO label and I absolutely loved it. I totally agree with you; Country Lanes is one of the best examples of his amazing voice as well as the very early I Am The World. He did not look well in this video. Thank you for sharing this with all of us; I'm glad that I read your comment. I really loved their older stuff mostly. By the time I had purchased Spirits Having Flown, I had 21 Bee Gees albums to give you an idea. I sort of drifted away from them as 1978 rolled around but still loved them. When I heard For Whom The Bell Tolls for the first time around ten years ago, I thought my old group was back again. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It's nice to chat with you. FG
@@festidious2644 - Yes, "Ellan Vannin" really got to me. The "Childhood days once more" really struck home as well. He had recently lost his twin (Spencer said he was never the same after that) and he knew he was not long for this world himself. When he turns his back and walks away to the back of the church it was like he was leaving us forever. He was saying goodbye. I can't watch without crying.
"Rings around the moon" does it for me too. I can't even listen to "Sydney". He became so nostalgic for his youth and the happy times with his brothers. As we age, we all become nostalgic.
He loved the "Country Lanes" of his beautiful home in Thame. He never could have dreamed of living in that home surrounded by the British history that he so loved coming from the impoverished rough streets of post war Manchester. It's nice to think maybe he's still wandering in those gardens.
All the best FG. ☺
The song One came out in 1989
You win again came out in 1987
Just the product of the times when it comes to music videos in the 80s
Daughter if you love Robin, you got to listen to "OH Darlin". I think it's Robin's best solo song..Peter Frampton played soulful guitar on it too.
They learned their trade in Australia when they were kids even tho they were English migrants. Just remember there was another brother Andy who had a short career in music until he tragically died.
Have you ever listened to Rings around the moon? Robin sings lead on this song. It is hauntingly beautiful
Finally more Bee gees , its been forever lol
What song to request... there's so many! Oh yeah my favourite early one, RUN TO ME. Live is best. 1972. Thanks
When brothers sing together the harmonizing is taken to another level. It's unmatched. Brothers Wilson of the Beach Boys, The BeeGees, Osmonds, and the Jackson 5.
Ladies, I'm definitely late to this party! I didn't see it in my notifications. 🙁 I'm sure by now someone has affirmed that this was indeed someone's last hour before being being put to death. This video was actually from a 1968 German TV special called "Idea" where they performed the songs from their "Idea" album, a really great album with lots of wonderful songs yet to be reacted to! ("I Started a Joke" was on this album and had a great video on the special).
I'm still waiting for you to do Man In The Middle. I love all Bee Gees music though. Happy to see you coming back to them. Their oldest pop song is called Spicks and Specks. They were SO young!!
Thank you for reacting to this song. Enjoyed your recap and comments. Even though I was a teen during the Beatles rise to fame, I never was a fan of most of their music . I liked The Bee Gees much more as well as Motown groups.
There is a different video on you tube of the song "You Win Again" and it is soooo much better. They were appearing on a tv program overseas. Barry looks soo good in his blue jeans. You don't have to react to it (unless you want-ha) but check it out and you will love it. I watch it all the time...lol Barry didn't discover his falsetto voice until the mid 70's so all of the 60's era is his regular voice.
I love that video, too. I like to say it is for your listening and viewing pleasure! Haha.
I think the studio version of You Win Again is better than any live version due to the amazing production and vocals on it.
Have you noticed that Robin did more lead vocals in the 60s than he did later on?
I read that once Barry discovered his falsetto, the producers pushed for Barry to be the lead vocal, as they thought his looks were more appealing to girls/women! Shame on them; I think this is what started the on and off rift between Robin and Barry! Also, it has been said that Robin had the highest natural "chest voice" of the 3 of them, although they are all capable of fabulous falsetto's.
“First of May” by the Bee Gees. A hit from 1968 andfeatured in the movie “Melody”. Then listen to Lulu singing it live on her TV show. She is joined by a man she married and divorced thirty years before- Mr. Maurice Gibb. Sweet and romantic and nostalgic. You will cry. In 1968 everyone in Britain watched their storybook wedding. Millions glued to their sets. Great that they became friends just a few years before his death. Sad and Sweet!
I live on the Isle of Man where the Bee Gees were born. They were so proud of where they came from even though they moved away when they were young. Ellan Vannin that they sang about the island is just beautiful. It has become an unofficial national anthem to a lot of the locals here. Really enjoy your reactions 😊
This may be my favorite song by them.
Robin came in with the idea and they said what! Robin says no it's a love song! 🥰❤️
At the end of the disco era of the 70s , beginning of the 80s the Bee Gees were treated very badly. Radio stations refused to play thier music . Thier records got destroyed in an anti disco riot. No one wanted to be accociated with them after the 70s .
Thier first bee gees album of the 80s bombed so the Bee Gees were forced to not do anything as the Bee Gees for a long time. They ended up writing for other artists and recording solo albums
Barry recorded a solo album In 1984 called Now Voyager. Which Is an incredible album and Robin recorded 3 solo albums throughout the 80s.
The Bee gees did some songs for the Staying Alive soundtrack, the sequel to Saturday night fever. Then the Bee gees returned In 1987 with You win again.
You win again went to number 1 all around the world 🌎 except for America who still ignored thier music and considered them only a disco band . It was only the song titled One from the album One in 1989 they reached the top 10 in America again but after that in the early 90s they were ignored again they truly didn't fully get accepted back to the music industry until 1997 when they started receiving many lifetime achievement awards and an induction to the rock and roll hall of fame
Thier 1997 album titled Still waters was thier first album to sell extremely well since 1979. Very sad the way they were treated after the 70s . As a hardcore Bee gees fan myself it really upsets me this happened to them because of thier massive success in the disco era
If you really want to see cute, check out the boys when they first appeared on television in Australia.
Sad love song as only the BeeGees could do.
I’m with you Baby Gap…60’s Bee Gees is by far their best era for me and Robins voice is my absolute favourite!
It maybe there best era, but i feel they sung these songs much better in their later years.
Great song, I really love their early songs, I really love Robin’s voice; I Started A Joke is definitely my favorite
Ditto 😊
they wrote such beautiful sings. Another one from this era that I love is Run to Me. They both sing parts in that one too. Thanks for your reactions. Love them.
Andy looks just like young Barry! Such a beautiful song
I Just Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Bee Gees Song's Ladies
I mean the thing what happened to the Bee Gees after Saturday Night Fever is is like it was such a phenomenon that a lot of people I think she's got fed up with here in it cos it was on the radio 24/7 4 months on end and the BBC said it themselves you know people getting sick of Us so they gave it a break and they wrote songs Dionne Warwick so if you ever want to listen to Heartbreaker by Dionne Warwick that's a Bee Gees song or chain reaction by Diana Ross that's a Bee Gees song or Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers that's a Bee Gees song all great songs
Robin went to Barry to tell him this idea he had about this song and they all thought he was coo coo. But Robin wouldn’t drop it so the rest caved in. Glad they did.
Love these guys! In 1971 they received their 1st Grammy for: "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." In 1972 they had a few minor hits, but then hit a rut. They had 3 flops in a row and were playing in clubs, and only playing better gigs here and there. Then came along "Jive Talking" in 1975!! Its rhythm was modelled after the sound their car made crossing the Julia Tuttle Causeway. This was really the first time Barry sang his signature falsettos. And the rest is history. I love their 1971 hit "Lonely Days", which was a very unique, for them, rock sound!
They've reacted to a couple of those!👍
Top 40 songs are not "Minor Hits". Run to You is a fabulous song from 1972. Remember the US is not the entire world; they were still popular in the UK and Australia. Very similar to ABBA (and Cliff Richard); way more popular overseas than the US.
From a family from N England , Emigrated to do better in Australia ,, Some TV .. Back to Uk with some success. Off to USA . Write their own lyrics & get a hit with Jive Talking ,,International artists .. Never forgotten ..Thanks for the love..
The First Of May sung by Barry is a real pretty song from the 60s,
Always love the Bee Gees reactions. Even better when it is a deeper dive than the disco hits. Thank you!
Hi again beautiful ladies! Thank you for a fantastic reaction! Can I suggest a VERY early BeeGees medley from 1963! I think Barry is about 16 and the twins are 13! It’s on a local show in Brisbane, Australia. I think you will LOVE IT! Just when ever you can! Thanks. Peace and Blessings from Australia.
I think you two would really enjoy listening and reacting to "Heart Like Mine". Robin has the lead and the harmonies are some of their best!!!
Ladies! I don’t know if you’ll see this msg, but I was listening to a Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) song on the radio, a very well know 🇨🇦 band from the past. They have a song singing to a lady with BIG BROWN EYES! Called You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. I Knew you wanted more of those 😆.
BTO is very worth checking out. Randy Bachman was from the band the Guess Who, also 🇨🇦. Will have to check if you’ve you’ve covered any of Guess Who - they’re the band who wrote song American Woman, cover by Lenny Kravitz. Orignal is AMAZING. Check out Midnight Special for that one. Lmk you saw this. 😊
This is from the Bee Gees album titled Idea.
From 1968
Robin's eldest son Spencer has an incredibly similar voice when singing. As well, I have seen pictures of him in his younger years and it is like looking at Robin 2.0. Check out the video on TH-cam of him doing his version of Run To Me.
Beautiful choice. Please feel free to continue exploring The Bee Gees. That will keep both of you, and all of us happy and very entertained for quite some time. After you've done all of those, you could also check out their youngest brother's Andy Gibbs songs. And when you've been through all of those, you could start doing some of the songs they wrote for other artists such as Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand, Samantha Sang, Celine Dion, Dionne Warwick, Yvonne Elliman etc.😉
Robin was always my Fav!
I was 13 when this song was released and it was the very FIRST 45rpm record I bought with money I had EARNED. I had had to babysit for 4 hours @25¢ an hour (--yes that was the going wage for babysitting in 1968) to pay the record that cost $1! I still have it among my treasured 45's/33rpm records! Great Reaction! I really enjoy watching your reaction videos and I look forward to seeing more.
My father saw the Bee Gees at a fair when the were just children.
The Bee Gees are my all-time favorite group that I grew up listening to in the 1970''s. "I've Go To Get A Message To You" is one of my favorite early Bee Gees songs from the 1960's. While I love the Bee Gees music from every era of their careers, I will always be partial to the disco era. They were The Kings Of Disco just like Donna Summer was The Queen Of Disco". Anyway, I noticed there are 2 of my favorite disco era Bee Gees songs that you haven't reacted to yet that I'd love for you to try. They are "Love So Right" and "Love You Inside Out". The former is one of their best ballads and the latter was their 9th #1 hit from the 1970's which closed out the most successful time period of their careers.
so many beautiful songs from the Bee Gees. here's some great songs to react to....."Overnight" (Maurice lead) "Tokyo Nights" (Robin lead) "Above and Beyond" (Maurice lead) "Happy Ever After (Berry Lead) "My Lover's Prayer" (Berry lead)
Another great song by the Bee Gees. Thank you for this song Ladies. You are fast becoming one of my favorite reaction group.❤
Thank you so much John ☺️☺️☺️
@@generationgapreacts You are still one of my favourites.
The ‘Disco’ was the surprise for people my age.
When disco died, the Bee Gees lost a lot of fans who blamed them for "all that disco crap". They stopped performing for a while and wrote hit songs for other artists. Then they recorded some of their best music during the 80s and 90s but it wasn't as successful as it deserved to be; a hang over from the taint of disco. However, I don't think they regretted their foray into disco. It took them from rich to mega rich.
Thank you, Thank You, Thank you,
The early Bee Gees are the very best. WORDS is probably my favorite but choosing a favorite is like choosing a favorite child.
To Love Somebody. Daughter(sorry I don't remember your name.) you would like that song because Mo can be heard a little more especially at the end where he sings "OH, OH, NO!!! You don't know what it's like to love Somebody the way I love you." So much feeling in it. Love Massachusetts with Robin. I Started a Joke is wonderful. Holiday, Robin again.
I agree with how cute they were when they young...and MO had hair. LOL I think he was in his 20's when he started losing his hair. Poor baby. I read Barry was 21 and the twins were 18 when
Bee Gee's came on the scene in America. That was when I was about 12 or 13. I had a crush on all of them but I couldn't decide who was cuter Barry or Vince, the guitar player. Then Vince's Vìsa ran out and had to go back to Australia so I didn't have to worry anymore. :)
Love Robins vocals not sure if uve already reacted to it but I started a joke is another song that shows off his vocal talent 💕
Boy brings back memories. I used to listen to this song my sophomore year in high school. My cousin's band used to sing this. Barry didn't used his falsetto until 1975 on Night On Broadway song.
They just never disappoint.
my 2 favorite reactors reacting to my two favorites Meatloaf and The Bee Gees in one day! can't beat that
Woohoo! That’s so nice of you ☺️
sir Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, the main driving factor and basically front-man for Bee-Gees, is third all time for the number 1 hits written. He also purchased my Boy's home, Johnny Cash's, after Johnny passed away (I was born myself very near here).
Amazing Voices Amazing Song Amazing Bee Gees. Thats wy I love the Bee Gees. They had so many Songs. And every Song is a surprice. They make me 😊 🕺
One of their great early Hits. Robyn is really prominent in this song. Love it
Thank you for reacting to their earlier songs.
Baby Gap is correct in her speculation of the song and its story line. The Bee Gees 1968 single, “I’ve Gotta Get a Message To You” has a very different story than most love songs. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is in the electric chair, awaiting his execution as he begs the prison chaplain to deliver a final message to his wife. According to Robin Gibb, who wrote the lyrics, the man is in jail for the murder of his wife’s lover. Robin notes, “this is about a prisoner on Death Row who only has a few hours to live. He wants the prison chaplain to pass on a final message to his wife. There’s a certain urgency about it. Nevertheless, there is one thing that Barry and Robin never wrote that has since puzzled fans - what the message was! OK ladies, when do we get LOVE YOU INSIDE AND OUT, some Andy Gibb songs and Barry's collaborations with Ms. Streisand? In any case "Gappers" you're doing a great job and there is nothing to be guilty about.
Thank you Unca Buzz! This was a tragic love story by The Bee Gees. I like how they left “the message” a mystery and up to us to figure out or write ourselves. A collab song with Barbara is in the works ☺️
GREAT on doing Barry & Barbra's duets, but please do live version(s) from fundraiser concert in her backyard!🎼There's videos with just one of the duets, & then there's also a video with both duets from the concert....& it's heavenly!🥰
Robin.. the completely unique 💔
Love this song and love Robin!
Mo was the glue and harmonies
You are so right! I LOVE all Bee Gees, but the 60's Bee Gees are my favorite. I grew up on Bee Gees Gold album which is fire!
Wow, Bee Gees music reactions are back! ))) Great choice, ladies. You may as well check the live versions of this song - from "Here at Last bee Gees Live" 1977 LP or from Nelson Mandela Benefit gala concert of 1988, the song is the same, but the treatment from them as mature artists is more confident and modern )
And if you want another sad early Bee Gees song (with a video), where Barry and Robin trade vocals, please check "Walking Back to Waterloo" off their 1971 LP )) Good luck )
Looking good today, girls ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺
I forgot to say, Cilla would sing with and live in the same area of Liverpool as the beatles
So happy to see this one! I’ve been suggesting it all over the place! My favorite Bee Gees song ever!! 🔥❤️☮️👵🏼
I always loved the pre disco stuff. Try their New York mining disaster song. I love visiting with you every day.
You should both listen to Robin Gibbs’ ellan vannin’ song/video, I think it was one of his last before he died
This is one of the few times you see footage of Robin playing a Guitar. This song was amazing!
barry gibb make it like a memory
Terrific reaction! I was a teenager in the middle to late 70s. I took ridicule from other teens for liking the BeeGees and disco. Thank you for standing up for what I consider the greatest musical group ever!
I don’t know if you know but this group wrote over a thousand song! They actually gave many away to others just told them just put your name on it it’s yours! They wrote songs for Barbara Streisand , Frank Sinatra,Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers , Dion Warwick,and many other singers !
There were a lot of singer who wrote for others like Paul Williams and Barry Manilow !
Later it was ,Prince woh wrote songs for, Madonna, Sinesd O’Connor,Stivie Nick, Chuka Khan , The Bangles,and Celine Dion !
Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Moody Blues, with a background of Motown, Bob Seeger, and Kingston Trio. What a way to grow up to my eighteenth birthday! I'm 68 now and would love to show my grandchildren some of this music! Thanks you two!
Great job by you two as always!! Thank you for putting a smile on my face again!! "Lonely Days" is great!! And I also believe you will enjoy "Spinning Wheel" by Blood Sweat and Tears!!! Best of luck to you with your channel!!!!
Robin was lead singer til disco
Great song!
One of their best songs that kept improving - the Las Vegas 97 version is a legend.
Robin sang upbeat songs too. You need to check those out too! Tokyo Nights, When He's Gone, Kiss Of Life, his 80s solo stuff (co written and produced with Mo) Juliet for one. The 1991 live version in Berlin.
Don`t forget the other brother ladies , Andy Gibb he had a few great records himself.
Really love the tattoos
You lock like my ey girl ❤️
Another great song!
Have you discovered the 4th Gibb yet Andy was a solo artist with an abundance of Barry in him
I would love to hear your reaction to both Michael Bublé - song: You just haven't met me yet & Gordon Lightfoot - song: The Edmund Fitzgerald (both Canadian and both very good)
My all time favourite Bee Gees song , its just so good ..... just brilliant!
Love this, love the Bee Gees, they are so talented. They are my favorite also. You girls are great.
This song is in the same vein as Tom Jones and Green, Green Grass of Home.
Great reaction ladies to an early song!!! Another is 'Alone'
