This song is named for an older black lady that took care of them in Florida with housekeeping, laundry and cooking. They took her into the studio and surprised her with it.
He gets loads of respect.Everyone knows what he could do.Multi-instrumentalist,arranger,songwriter,fabulous voice,great fun,and kind and generous.Also,a loving husband,father,brother and son,and friend.He was respected by his fellow recording artists,around the World,and adored by millions of fans.He was a million percent,appreciated.
Such a MASTERPIECE, the production, arrangement, the vocals, lyrics and anything in between!!! When they do the falsettos and going higher and higher, I just get the goosebumps!!!
Mo is a genius and plays many instruments. He sings the high and low notes. You can hear his beautiful tenor voice in his duet with Lulu singing First of May. Check it out.
New to your lovely channel. This is a less known Bee Gees song and in my estimation, their absolute best. ❤Apparently, Quincy Jones once said that it was one of the best R&B ballads ever written. Great backup musicians, too.
They all had beautiful baritone's and did not know they could actually do the fallseto's until years into recording. The ability to switch back and forth is amazing. Robin and Barry were going back and forth :)
Have you done Stayin Alive or You Should be Dancing, or Love You Inside out by The Bee Gees…Just a few other many! And they wrote ALL their songs as well as writing for other artist ( Barbra Streisand, Deion Warwick, Kenny Rogers/Dolly Partons, Diana Ross just to name a few. They considered themselves songwriters first, and performers 2nd. Also, check out the songs they wrote for & background vocals for their youngest brother, Andy Gibb, whose first 3 releases all hit #1. Unfortunately, only Barry is still alive today and still married to his wife for over 50 years!
They did it all. So glad to see you givin' up to Maurice for the bass. But I think you also caught his voice, also powerful. They have decades of music to be enjoyed. 💕
I was lucky to live as a teenager when this group had its second act going into the Disco era and they just ruled the airwaves at that time. It was so easy to take these guys for granted because they were just a hit machine. Now nearly 50 years later, we can look back and to appreciate each nuance of their songs and performances and can look at the totality of their entire career and it is so hard to find a favorite because once you listen to another song, that one just pulls at the heart. This is a group that is unmatched in their craft of performance and song-writing.
Just some Bee Gees songs..there's many more: The kiss of Life, The Only Love, Just in Case, One, Living Eyes, Blue Island, Heartbreaker, Love you Inside and Out, Lonely Days, Rings Around the Moon, Alone, For Whom the Bell Tolls (outside in NY version)
A great selection there but some of them (like One for example) won't knock the socks off non-fans. Wasn't Ring's Around the Moon a b-side to a single? Great song anyway.
Not sure if you know, but the BeeGees wrote hit songs for many other artists too. In fact, they've written over 1000 songs in their lifetime. Barry is beyond incredible but Robin has an amazing voice too. Check out I Started A Joke where Robin is the lead. These brothers were treasures, they reinvented their sound so many times over 50 years.
Their much younger brother Andy Gibb. I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. Love Is Thicker Than Water. Everlasting Love. (Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away. Shadow Dancing. Desire. Words. He's amazing. There's a 9 and 12 year difference in their ages.
I love this song so, so much! Bee Gee's had quite the career. They had a younger brother too named Andy Gibb. He had a solo career . He looks and sounds like a younger version of Barry. He was quite a bit younger than them so that's why he wasn't part of the group. He passed away in 1988 at the age of 30. I bawled! Andy was my young girl crush! I had pisters all over my room of him. He had some great hits too written by his brothers. Great reaction!! Much love! ✌🏻❣️
They grew up on Australian Bandstand. The first time I saw him Barry the eldest with the Bass was about 16 with his guitar and the twins looked like little boys. Robin was cheeky and out there and Maurice was shy. They all had great voices and these three were all prolific song writers. I think you would be surprised if you knew how many famous people had hits with their songs. I loved Robin singing the most and he never got many solo’s. I Started A Joke and Massachusetts are beautiful. Maurice or Mo was a brilliant musician. Barry was great but he carried on way too long with the falsetto from the Disco days. I just looked at your list and The Bee Gees are the only Australian’s you have listened to? One day you will have to listen to our Legend. Tonight they played his Documentary on TV before it goes to DVD and they told us he was also cleared today from the cancer in his jaw bone. He is loved and many prayers have been said. It was a good day and we are Blessed.
Bee Gees were prolific over 5 decades. There are too many songs to recommend, but here are just a few....Nights on Broadway, Lonely Days, Holiday, New York Mining Disaster, Alone, You Win Again, Jive Talkin, Massachusetts, and Blue Island.
The guy on the far left, Maurice (pronounced Morris) is playing base. He’s amazing and can play many instruments. He does most of the arranging. Glad you loved this song a Bee Gee fan favorite!
Glad you picked this song I think it is a masterpiece in every way the bee gees have sommany brilliant songs. But some are elevated to another dimension . They could not perform this live unfortunately due to its complexity
This song is a perfect example of their extraordinary song writing, incredible music playing, and magical singing! There is one word I always use to describe this song...MASTERPIECE ❤❤❤
Since you seems to enjoy good bass playing, I think that you will enjoy the song Living In A World Of Make Believe by the Moody Blues. The bass player is John Lodge, playing a Fender Precision.
"Massachusetts", "I Started A Joke" and "I've Got To Get A Message To You" are a few of their older songs. They used falsetto less but the songs are just as good.
Maurice/Mo was a quiet achiever and musical genius. Music director for concerts, keyboards and bass. He would translate their ideas into awesome bass lines. Jive Talking, Staying Alive, Nights on Broadway, More than a woman, Night Fever, You should be dancing, You Win Again, For Whom the bell tolls, Run to Me, How do you mend a broken heart, I started a Joke...40 plus years of hit songwriting for themselves and others!
The Bee Gee fans who followed them in the 60s are aware of Robin’s beautiful voice. Barry’s voice is secondary. Robin made you feel every emotion there is to feel. Great example, “I Can’t See Nobody”. Although, I think Maurice really stands out in this song.
I just subscribed and I have a suggestion for you to react too its a live performance its upbeat and I think you're going to like it. The bands name is REO Speedwagon (REO are initials so its pronounced R-E-O) the song roll with the changes. REO Speedwagon - Roll with the Changes (Color Version)
I had to come back to you.. He played the song and you had tried to explain it to him but what are you going to do that's the way it goes sometimes. Good suggestion
The Bee Gees not only had the best harmonies. Their vocal ranges were phenomenal, they also wrote lyrics that sounded like poetry. Please react to LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT, thank you for your super reaction. ❤❤❤
The Great thing about the Bee Gees is that they do all kinds of music. Depending on your mood, dance music, power ballads, R&B you name it and they've got songs for it. FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS 🔔, is a great one, filmed in N.Y. under the Brooklynn Bridge with the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers in the background. Barry and Robin take turns in the lead. Hauntingly beautiful. 😊
My favorite song!! Love the Bee Gees!! Quincy Jones said it was one of his favorite R&B songs!! Your going down the rabbit hole!! You want to see Maurice play bass listen to jive talkin! He kills it!
great RX, love this song. Is that you, Andre Dove (reverend at Redemption Church in Spokane, WA) from Spokane? He's a great guy, and you seem to be too.....really positive)
You're right, Maurice is able to let his bass talk. Sayin' so is pretty nice! Your favorite lyricline ('Cause it's all that I've got and my love wont forsake me') is mainly sung by Barry, bringin' in his powerful voiceability). Quincy Jones called this track the best R&B song, ever comin' to his ears.
"For Whom the Bell Tolls. There are 2 video versions, but I like the one of them standing on a roof top, not the more dramatic one at a beach. On the roof, it's just them. Barry has a great voice, but Robin completely takes over the chorus. th-cam.com/video/Sub0O2r76Nw/w-d-xo.html
You said you were feeling The Bee Gees but I don’t see anymore reactions of them from you. Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb were fantastic for over 5 decades ! You can find video of them from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 2000s! They also had another brother who had a solo career because he was so much younger than they were (Andy Gibb). I have some of his recommendations below too. Here’s a list with my interpretation of what genre I think they fall under: (Just disregard the ones you’ve already reacted to! Too Much Heaven (R&B) How Deep Is Your Love (R&B Ballard) Staying Alive (disco) Night Fever (disco) You Should Be Dancing (R&B or disco) Fanny be tender with my love (R&B) Jive Talking (R&B) Nights on Broadway (R&B/Funk) Tragedy (Techno? Pop) More than a woman (Disco/R&B) Love you inside out (Funk/pop) To love somebody (R&B) Massachusetts (pop/country) Wind of Change (funk/r&b), live 1975 from the Midnight Special) Alone (pop) Love So Right (R&B) Words (pop, 1979 Spirits Tour) Lonely Days (pop) You Win Again (pop) Run to Me (pop) How Can you mend a broken heart (R&B) Kiss of Life (rock) One (pop) Wedding Day (pop) Rest Your Love on Me Awhile (country) Bodyguard (R&B) Blue Island - live (pop) Our Love, Don't Throw it all away-Bee Gee's or Andy's version (pop) Secret Love (pop) This is Where I Came in (live) (pop) The 1989 One for all tour medley (excellent vocals & some humor) If you want to see them (the Bee Gees) and how they work in the studio try: (A) the making of their song "Tragedy" from 1979 (B) The making of the song "Just in Case" (C) The making of the video "This is Where I Came in" from their last cd in 2001 Some that only the avid Bee Gee fans might know that you might want to react to: My Lover’s Prayer (pop ballard) Letting Go (pop ballard) Subway (R&B) You Stepped Into My life (Funk/r&b) Children of the World (pop) Search, Find (pop or R&B) Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb): If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman) Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs. Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals. Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. The live 1997 from Vegas is excellent! More Than a Woman (Tavares) Love Me (Yvonne Elliman) Come on Over (Olivia Newton John) Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it. Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli) Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer) Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb A lot of Andy Gibb songs (Shadow Dancing, Everlasting Love, Love is Thicker than Water, Our Love, Don't Throw It Away; Desire;)
This is the song (according to Maurice) that Quincy Jones told him was one of his favorite R&B songs. Jones also attempted to produce a cover of it, but gave it up because it was too difficult (maybe impossible?) to improve on the original. This song belongs in a seminal voice / music course , it is that masterful and complex. The brothers are singing some parts live to a back track of multiple layers of vocals because it would have been impossible to do them all live simultaneously. They're great, but not superhuman. Maurice has said they never sang the song live but for the official video because "it was a bitch to sing." Maurice is the twin in the pink shirt playing bass. Barry plays rhythm guitar. Maurice's the instrumental talent and anchor at orchestration of the trio. AND he provides the critical third harmony to produce their trademark Bee Gee sound. His well-chronicled problems with alcohol addiction had affected his dependability at the studio and sometimes at concerts during the 70's and 80's, until he successfully gained sobriety in early 1990's through AA. Maurice and his family were always up front talking about his battle, and he continued to attend AA meetings until his death in Jan. 2003, a tragic death too young at 53.
The best of the Bee Gees? Hm, the thing is that the more you listen to Bee Gees the more you realize that almost all of thier extensive catalog is the best.
Sweet reaction man. "Jive talkin" should be your next reaction, you will love it. I got mixed up between this song and that one when I recommended this having some funk, although I wanted you to react to this track. You can't go wrong with some these famous old groups like the Bee Gees, banger after banger.
Robin has the best voice out of the three, IMO. He sang lead on so many of their tunes...and is usually overshadowed by Barry. Same with Maurice. It's a shame, really. Peace out and thanks for the reactions!
I always preferred Barry's voice to Robin's odd, 'warbling' voice but I know Robin had legions of fans too and I certainly don't dislike him. Robin's last solo album was described as 'meh' by some but I though it had some nice tracks
so amazing your thoughts 🔥of the lyrics that is rare in all these reaction videos who great their poetry was - nobody writes this kind of lyrics anymore, another great song in this arrangement is Wish You we Here (Poem for his young died brother Andy Gibb) and for sure Desire from Andy Gibb - Barrys wrotes this tune for him - absolutely stellar ✨
Love your reactions. You would also like Love so Right, Emotion (with Samantha Sang), More than a Woman, Nights on Broadway, Winds of Change, All This Making Love, and Love You Inside and Out! I hope you review them!!❤❤❤ I love Maurice's funky basslines. Mo is very talented. Robin and Barry often sing in unison so it is hard to separate their voices singing the lead. This song had many tracks in the studio. So you'll hear Barry singing falsetto over his lower voice. It has so many tracks that they rarely perform this one live because of this.
Thanks so much for your channel and your recent posts. Ironically I applaud the last two songs I’ve seen you react to as I was hoping for more Billy Joel, and Bee Gees. Keep it up! Eventually you may get down the rabbit hole to Barry and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice’s little brother Andy who had a hit career of his own in the late 70s and early 80s.

Love so Right, How Deep is your Love, Inside Out, those are my favorites!
God blessed these brothers with a whole lot of talent.
bee gees you win again
I read "You win again" was Princess Diana's favorite song.
Quincy Jones said this is the best r&b song ever written and his favorite
This song is named for an older black lady that took care of them in Florida with housekeeping, laundry and cooking. They took her into the studio and surprised her with it.
Yes! I had heard that. She burst into happy tears.
I heard this also
Mauric can really play that bass. Doesn’t get the respect he should
Mo is a genius!! ❤
He gets loads of respect.Everyone knows what he could do.Multi-instrumentalist,arranger,songwriter,fabulous voice,great fun,and kind and generous.Also,a loving husband,father,brother and son,and friend.He was respected by his fellow recording artists,around the World,and adored by millions of fans.He was a million percent,appreciated.
He created the disco beat.
Mo is the king of Bass.
MO is considered a Master on the bass. John Lennon gave him a bass as a tribute.
It was one of his most prized possessions. 😁
THESE LYRICS ARE FIRE!🔥
Maurice Gibb created the disco beat on his bass.
Such a MASTERPIECE, the production, arrangement, the vocals, lyrics and anything in between!!! When they do the falsettos and going higher and higher, I just get the goosebumps!!!
New Gees you should be dancing
Those lyrics are so pure and vulnerable... and they drop it in that beautiful melody. Its so straight, honest and pure.
Well said ❤
Maurice plays several instruments. He is a bad boy.
My 2 favorites are Fanny and Jive Talkin.
Maurice doesn’t enough recognition
They are even more amazing when you consider the fact that none of them could read or write music-
He's a genius w bass and many other instruments. These brothers adored one another. Always laughing and joking together. Like ALWAYS.
Mo is a genius and plays many instruments. He sings the high and low notes. You can hear his beautiful tenor voice in his duet with Lulu singing First of May. Check it out.
Next up from the BeeGees - Night Fever
Run to me is a goodie
Maurice was the music director of the group.
Nights On Broadway.
Tragedy.
Run To Me.
To Love Somebody.
Mo was the original king of bass
I love it ❤️❤️❤️.. My favorite
The Bee Gees's song ever,for me at least!!!
I recommend "My Lover's Prayer." Really worth a listen.
❤
Yes
Great reaction.
They switch up some words - desert and foresake switch and hurt me and break me switch.
Mo is the bass player. I read an article where he said he learned bass from Paul McCartney.
New to your lovely channel.
This is a less known Bee Gees song and in my estimation, their absolute best. ❤Apparently, Quincy Jones once said that it was one of the best R&B ballads ever written. Great backup musicians, too.
They all had beautiful baritone's and did not know they could actually do the fallseto's until years into recording. The ability to switch back and forth is amazing. Robin and Barry were going back and forth :)
This is one of my favorite songs by them! They have so many great songs!
React to Will You Still Love Tomorrow by the Bee Gees. A song written by Carol King. The Bee Gees recorded as a Tribute To her. A great song.
They do a fantastic job on this song.
Barry also wrote and produced songs for his younger brother Andy (RIP). Those songs were hits.
"You cant fall off the floor"
Have you done Stayin Alive or You Should be Dancing, or Love You Inside out by The Bee Gees…Just a few other many! And they wrote ALL their songs as well as writing for other artist ( Barbra Streisand, Deion Warwick, Kenny Rogers/Dolly Partons, Diana Ross just to name a few.

Great reaction to one of my childhood radio favorites.❤ The intricacies of the arrangement of this song are no joke. Nice analysis.
They did it all. So glad to see you givin' up to Maurice for the bass. But I think you also caught his voice, also powerful. They have decades of music to be enjoyed. 💕

One,
Living Eyes,
Blue Island,
Heartbreaker,
Love you Inside and Out,
Lonely Days,
Rings Around the Moon,
Alone,
For Whom the Bell Tolls (outside in NY version)
And so many more!! ❤
Add the unpublished "End of My Song" from the 60s. I think that it would have done well.
A great selection there but some of them (like One for example) won't knock the socks off non-fans. Wasn't Ring's Around the Moon a b-side to a single? Great song anyway.
@@scoobytysonube , well, proof that we are all different. "One" is probably close to the top of my all-time favorites. I think it's just fabulous.🥰
Not sure if you know, but the BeeGees wrote hit songs for many other artists too. In fact, they've written over 1000 songs in their lifetime. Barry is beyond incredible but Robin has an amazing voice too. Check out I Started A Joke where Robin is the lead. These brothers were treasures, they reinvented their sound so many times over 50 years.
And Massachusetts
Their much younger brother Andy Gibb.
I Just Wanna Be Your Everything.
Love Is Thicker Than Water.
Everlasting Love.
(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away.
Shadow Dancing.
Desire.
Words.
He's amazing. There's a 9 and 12 year difference in their ages.
Maurice on the other end is playing base.
I love this song so, so much! Bee Gee's had quite the career. They had a younger brother too named Andy Gibb. He had a solo career . He looks and sounds like a younger version of Barry. He was quite a bit younger than them so that's why he wasn't part of the group. He passed away in 1988 at the age of 30. I bawled! Andy was my young girl crush! I had pisters all over my room of him.

Great reaction!! Much love! ✌🏻❣️
Maurice is the Tenor. But if you look towards the end he and Barry. Battle with the high falsetto. It’s awesome.
It's time for you to do "Love You Inside Out".
Yes, the were amazing voclaists and musicians. I love the Bee Gees for the song writing. They were top notch lyricists.
They grew up on Australian Bandstand. The first time I saw him Barry the eldest with the Bass was about 16 with his guitar and the twins looked like little boys. Robin was cheeky and out there and Maurice was shy. They all had great voices and these three were all prolific song writers. I think you would be surprised if you knew how many famous people had hits with their songs.
I loved Robin singing the most and he never got many solo’s. I Started A Joke and Massachusetts are beautiful. Maurice or Mo was a brilliant musician. Barry was great but he carried on way too long with the falsetto from the Disco days.
I just looked at your list and The Bee Gees are the only Australian’s you have listened to? One day you will have to listen to our Legend. Tonight they played his Documentary on TV before it goes to DVD and they told us he was also cleared today from the cancer in his jaw bone. He is loved and many prayers have been said. It was a good day and we are Blessed.
Beegees MEDLEY 1989
Great reaction! This like so many of their songs is a favorite. 😂
Bee Gees were prolific over 5 decades. There are too many songs to recommend, but here are just a few....Nights on Broadway, Lonely Days, Holiday, New York Mining Disaster, Alone, You Win Again, Jive Talkin, Massachusetts, and Blue Island.
That crescendo at the end kills me every time! Love, love love this song!
There so classy
I implore you to listen "run to me".
The guy on the far left, Maurice (pronounced Morris) is playing base. He’s amazing and can play many instruments. He does most of the arranging. Glad you loved this song a Bee Gee fan favorite!
This is probably my favorite song by The BeeGees 😊
I love Maurice the Bass player. He switches off to play rythym guitar and keyboards on different songs.
Glad you picked this song I think it is a masterpiece in every way the bee gees have sommany brilliant songs. But some are elevated to another dimension . They could not perform this live unfortunately due to its complexity
This song is a perfect example of their extraordinary song writing, incredible music playing, and magical singing! There is one word I always use to describe this song...MASTERPIECE ❤❤❤
All 3 of the Bee Gees play several instruments. Mostly in videos Barry and Maurice ae playing them, but sometimes Robin does as well.
Great reaction. Some more songs by them to check out: "Stayin Alive", Night Fever and "More Than a Woman"
Since you seems to enjoy good bass playing, I think that you will enjoy the song Living In A World Of Make Believe by the Moody Blues. The bass player is John Lodge, playing a Fender Precision.
"Massachusetts", "I Started A Joke" and "I've Got To Get A Message To You" are a few of their older songs. They used falsetto less but the songs are just as good.
Maurice/Mo was a quiet achiever and musical genius. Music director for concerts, keyboards and bass. He would translate their ideas into awesome bass lines. Jive Talking, Staying Alive, Nights on Broadway, More than a woman, Night Fever, You should be dancing, You Win Again, For Whom the bell tolls, Run to Me, How do you mend a broken heart, I started a Joke...40 plus years of hit songwriting for themselves and others!
I love all of the songs you requested! Reactions to any of these songs would be Great! I'll be here.
The Bee Gee fans who followed them in the 60s are aware of Robin’s beautiful voice. Barry’s voice is secondary. Robin made you feel every emotion there is to feel. Great example, “I Can’t See Nobody”. Although, I think Maurice really stands out in this song.
I just subscribed and I have a suggestion for you to react too its a live performance its upbeat and I think you're going to like it. The bands name is REO Speedwagon (REO are initials so its pronounced R-E-O) the song roll with the changes.
REO Speedwagon - Roll with the Changes (Color Version)
I had to come back to you.. He played the song and you had tried to explain it to him but what are you going to do that's the way it goes sometimes. Good suggestion
Love these guys. Your voice is soothing also
Wait til you see Maurice's Rickenbackers!!
Hall and Oates, Boz Scaggs, Doobies, Michael McDonsld, BeeGees, Steely Dan, so much soulfulness to explore!
If you want to hear the bass player, Maurice, sing lead, please react to “Man in the Middle”. He also wrote the song. 💜💕💜💕💜💕
The Bee Gees not only had the best harmonies. Their vocal ranges were phenomenal, they also wrote lyrics that sounded like poetry. Please react to LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT, thank you for your super reaction. ❤❤❤
They got so many, many hits.
I will suggest you just 2 more : words, and lonely days.
Run To Me
Great comments young man.
The Great thing about the Bee Gees is that they do all kinds of music. Depending on your mood, dance music, power ballads, R&B you name it and they've got songs for it. FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS 🔔, is a great one, filmed in N.Y. under the Brooklynn Bridge
with the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers in the background. Barry and Robin take turns in the lead.
Hauntingly beautiful. 😊
My favorite song!! Love the Bee Gees!! Quincy Jones said it was one of his favorite R&B songs!! Your going down the rabbit hole!! You want to see Maurice play bass listen to jive talkin! He kills it!
Barry plays guitar not base. Mo played base and keyboard and they all played piano but Robin did play instruments on stage
Great reaction, now I recommend For Whom The Bell Tolls. Another banger from the great BeeGees
If you want to hear the best of the BeeGees, I hope you have a LOT of time. :-)
great RX, love this song. Is that you, Andre Dove (reverend at Redemption Church in Spokane, WA) from Spokane? He's a great guy, and you seem to be too.....really positive)
Staying alive
You're right, Maurice is able to let his bass talk. Sayin' so is pretty nice! Your favorite lyricline ('Cause it's all that I've got and my love wont forsake me') is mainly sung by Barry, bringin' in his powerful voiceability).

Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb):
If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman)
Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs.
Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD
Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals.
Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals.
Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. The live 1997 from Vegas is excellent!
More Than a Woman (Tavares)
Love Me (Yvonne Elliman)
Come on Over (Olivia Newton John)
Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it.
Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli)
Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer)
Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb
A lot of Andy Gibb songs (Shadow Dancing, Everlasting Love, Love is Thicker than Water, Our Love, Don't Throw It Away; Desire;)
This is the song (according to Maurice) that Quincy Jones told him was one of his favorite R&B songs. Jones also attempted to produce a cover of it, but gave it up because it was too difficult (maybe impossible?) to improve on the original. This song belongs in a seminal voice / music course , it is that masterful and complex. The brothers are singing some parts live to a back track of multiple layers of vocals because it would have been impossible to do them all live simultaneously. They're great, but not superhuman. Maurice has said they never sang the song live but for the official video because "it was a bitch to sing." Maurice is the twin in the pink shirt playing bass. Barry plays rhythm guitar. Maurice's the instrumental talent and anchor at orchestration of the trio. AND he provides the critical third harmony to produce their trademark Bee Gee sound. His well-chronicled problems with alcohol addiction had affected his dependability at the studio and sometimes at concerts during the 70's and 80's, until he successfully gained sobriety in early 1990's through AA. Maurice and his family were always up front talking about his battle, and he continued to attend AA meetings until his death in Jan. 2003, a tragic death too young at 53.
The best of the Bee Gees? Hm, the thing is that the more you listen to Bee Gees the more you realize that almost all of thier extensive catalog is the best.
❤❤❤❤😎👍❤❤❤❤
Which of us is the fool by Robert Palmer, music video request plz ❤😊
Sweet reaction man.
"Jive talkin" should be your next reaction, you will love it.
I got mixed up between this song and that one when I recommended this having some funk, although I wanted you to react to this track.
You can't go wrong with some these famous old groups like the Bee Gees, banger after banger.
🤜💪💪
Robin has the best voice out of the three, IMO. He sang lead on so many of their tunes...and is usually overshadowed by Barry. Same with Maurice. It's a shame, really. Peace out and thanks for the reactions!
I always preferred Barry's voice to Robin's odd, 'warbling' voice but I know Robin had legions of fans too and I certainly don't dislike him. Robin's last solo album was described as 'meh' by some but I though it had some nice tracks
so amazing your thoughts 🔥of the lyrics that is rare in all these reaction videos who great their poetry was - nobody writes this kind of lyrics anymore, another great song in this arrangement is Wish You we Here (Poem for his young died brother Andy Gibb) and for sure Desire from Andy Gibb - Barrys wrotes this tune for him - absolutely stellar ✨
Love your reactions. You would also like Love so Right, Emotion (with Samantha Sang), More than a Woman, Nights on Broadway, Winds of Change, All This Making Love, and Love You Inside and Out! I hope you review them!!❤❤❤ I love Maurice's funky basslines. Mo is very talented. Robin and Barry often sing in unison so it is hard to separate their voices singing the lead. This song had many tracks in the studio. So you'll hear Barry singing falsetto over his lower voice. It has so many tracks that they rarely perform this one live because of this.
TO BAD YOU HAVENT BEEN ENJOYING THEM THE LAST DECADES!! ITS ALL THERE
They many great songs. Check out "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", from the early 70s. Then "Closer than Close " and "One" from 20 years later.
Check out the Eagles band great music
Thanks so much for your channel and your recent posts. Ironically I applaud the last two songs I’ve seen you react to as I was hoping for more Billy Joel, and Bee Gees. Keep it up!
Eventually you may get down the rabbit hole to Barry and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice’s little brother Andy who had a hit career of his own in the late 70s and early 80s.
Can you believe that they can't read music. ???! They are the greatest ever. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕
They can't read music and they're that good? I respect them even more now.. Thank you for watching!
