Teenager and young adult when their songs came out! Truly one of the best bands/singers ever. All their songs are my fav. I have a different memory for each one. By the time Too Much Heaven came out, I was a nurse in ICU and would hear it on the radio on 3-11 shift. And yes! This IS the day the Lord has made! Love yiur testimony.
Love The Bee Gees my friend, I have watched your reaction couple times, I like how you get into it, I watched other reactions and they're boring, Keep doing what you're doing bro!
Andy Gibb is in a Live performance of the Bee Gees Song You Should Be Dancing! The beat to this Songcame from the BeeGees going over a Bridge and it would make that Sound. Originally the song was going to be called Drive Talkin.
The Bee Gees bought a mansion on Miami Beach in 1972 and that clackety-clack beat was the sound you heard coming from The Beach to mainland Miami on the Julia Tuttle Causeway....they did it every time they needed to record at the studio they owned in North Miami.
AMEN! This is the day the Lord hath made! 🙌 The Story of Jive Talkin': Barry got the beat from the sound the tires made going over a Florida Bridge everyday to and from Criteria Studios. Turns out that at exactly 35 mph, you get this rhythm, and "Drive Talkin'" came into his head with the melody. He called his brothers that night and the song was written THAT NIGHT. But Arif Mardin, their producer, suggested "Jive Talkin'". However, when he heard their lyrics, he realized they DIDN'T know what "jive" meant and had to explain it to them. It's REALLY funny to hear Mo tell this story! 🤣 They quickly changed the words!! Also, their manager released this record WITHOUT a band name on a plain label. ALL the D.J 's went CRAZY for the song and literally freaked out when they found out it was written and performed by the Bee Gee's, who had ONLY been known for ballads (the guys had always had R&B as their first love but were forbidden to play it "because of being white", as told to them by several record companies.) BTW, Mo's bass REALLY stands out in this as he had to step up his game - Arif worked on him very hard to improve and this was the FIRST TIME he didn't have to replay ANYTHING! He was high on that approval for weeks! 😊
Actually their official bio "Tales from the brothers Gibb" said Robin heard the clacking sound on the bridge and said "Turn around and go back to the studio". He also heard "I started a joke" in the engines of a plane over Germany. Barry tends to change some of the stories as he did in the HBO documentary, LOL! As he said, I have my memories but Rob and Mo might have different ones. 🤣
He was always a great bass player. He was the only one that didn't know it. He said Arif worked with him and gave him confidence. He had to believe Arif!!
@@Zlata1313 - Macca was one of the best. A very melodic bassist. You could listen to his bass in isolation and know what the song was. The same with many of Ringo's drum beats. Very unique. There have been more technical and flashy bass players but he was the most melodic having first played guitar before having to switch to bass. Mo learned from a master.
Theres a video about the formation of this song, which was originally "drive-talking" cause that riff-bass-beat was what they were hearing driving across one of them Florida bridges near Miami. So the engineers audio recorded it, took it back to the studio, and ran the magnetic tape literally around the room, and spliced the ends together, so they could have it on repeat, since computer editing didnt even exist. And Barry started writing the lyrics, in the car, listening to the road noise from the bridge. Fascinating . Beats me where the link is, ,except its a you tube video I believe
Your first greatness pause was to see Blue Weaver on those keys and synth. Then listen to Barry scat with those keys. Oh yes. But really, that outstanding bass line drives this great song. This is a masterpiece track from the masterpiece album "Main Course."
In the the years from 1972/73 until this came out Bee Gees as a group was at an alltime low. So they hooked up with the producer Arif Mardin. He produced their 1974 album Mr. Natural (great album in my opinion) which was not a great succes but showed promise of what to come. So in 1975 they went into the studio and recorded songs like this one, Nights On Broadway, Wind Of Change (one of my favorites) and Fanny (Be Tender With My Love). The first single was Jive' Talkin and because of the very low interest in The Bee Gees their manager Robert Stigwood decide to send the single out as a white label to the radio stations so they could not see the artist. The radio stations started to play the song and when it came out that it was infact the Bee Gees most of them just said "No way, you mean How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Bee Gees?" Many had had the idea that it most be a group of afro americans because white people could not make music like that. The song went on to be their second US number 1 after the 1971 How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. A note is that Maurice's basplaying on this one is just great.
Although they already had two hits in the US with "I Started A Joke" and "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", this was probably the first song from The Bee Gees that many of us heard regularly on the radio (1975).....always thought it was a cool, funky jam!
One of my favorites when I was a teenager, when Jive Talkin came out I had to have that record, such a great beat! Please do a reaction to Andy Gibb "Shadow Dancing " a wonderful song and he looks like a younger version of Barry. 📀💿😊🎶
I'll never get sick of hearing your little comments added in while the song is playing - had to laugh out loud when you scrunched your eyes shut and said 'I will not be mislead!' While Barry said 'all that jive talkin just gets in your eye'. Too good. 😆
Andy is 12 years younger than Barry but they were so much alike they could have been twins. Andy was born 3-5-58 and would be 65 now. This is a great video of his vocal skills. I'll leave the link. Barry came up with the sound before the words. The idea came from the noise the car made going across the bridge. th-cam.com/video/7SpkAWIUKTU/w-d-xo.html
Love your Biblical references and how you incorporated them in your comments!God Bless U and yours!!Enjoy your reactions to real music and artists!!💯💕💞
I knew the songs “ To Love Somebody” and “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart” and never knew who they were but I found out when “Jive Talking” was released.
Hey Devin, they have a song called “One” that came out on the same album that “You win again “ was on. I’d love you to react to it. Another great song !
You Win Again came out in 1987 on the E.S.P. album. One came out on the album of the same name in 1989…..with the entire album being dedicated to Andy!😉
@@kthor I was just about to chime in on the mistake, but you got it first LOL I have the ESP on EP and wore that out! HATED that it wasn't their mainstream comeback that it should have been. (Loved ONE too!)
This is the first or second disco song . Depending on who you ask . Technically i believe it was second . Fisrt was an American musician. A few months before.
Anytime I here this song makes you want to do the John Travolta/Bee Gees strut...lol They did sound tracks to some of the best classic movies like "Saturday Night Fever" where the strut was born...Blessings and Thank you
You should check out 3 songs that are great 1 is Cody Johnson "I WANTED TO" 2nd is Dillon Carmichael "SON OF A" live at the Grand Ole Opry his MOM is singing back up & 3rd is Blaine Roy "PAPER AND PEN" Have Tissues ready TY so much Brother
Find myself enjoying your reactions despite the sig sauer ad posted prominently despite the recent school massacre in MI using that gun. I am a god fearing person as well but I do not revere guns in any sense.
Andy is not present here but Barry wrote many of Andy's big hits and his brothers were supportive of young Andy's solo career. Andy looked and sounded much like Barry. Sadly, we lost Andy way too early per fame, drugs and his personal issues and addictions.
Please react to "Gotta get a message to you". Thank you brother in CHRIST. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. Blessing to you and your family. Brenda, East Tennessee. K-Town.

They were the best!
That bass SLAPS
That nasty bass line from Mo is my favorite part of this song.
That's a great bass line.
It's pretty wicked!
Definitely
Yep, but the cowbell clapping comes in a close… um third 😊
Women followed that bass and beat right onto the dance floor. 💃🪩🕺
I love them too Devin, so happy that you do too.
Maurice is killin it
THE BEST. And I meant to put that in all caps 😂
Love Psalms!
I love it. Please more Bee Gees ❤❤❤
Maurice killing it!🎸
This is Where I Came In is a great newer Bee Gees song. Thanks.
Blue Weaver is on keyboards, hand claps, a bit of scat singing, so much going on...the Bee Gees were ahead of their time.
Your reactions are THE BEST ever!!! You are having SO much fun!!

Mo tearing up that bass!!
Andy Gibb is in a Live performance of the Bee Gees Song You Should Be Dancing! The beat to this Songcame from the BeeGees going over a Bridge and it would make that Sound. Originally the song was going to be called Drive Talkin.
I was born today in 65 so I grew up with the 70’s and 80’s music. Such great music!! I miss those times so much.
I was born December 1962. We grew up in an era of music that will never be repeated. It was truly the "best of times"!!!
I was born october 1967
one of the funkiest songs of the 70s.

@@janicetrimmell6897 Mo said he learned bass copying Paul McCartney.

We’ve told you that Barry has been married for 51 years, right? 5 children, 8 grandchildren so yeah, he knows what he’s singing about! 🎶😉
The day the Lord has made indeed!!
Andy as 12 years old when this song came out… Andy joined them on stage in the song You should be dancing…
Run To Me is a great Bee Gees song. Please listen because I absolutely love these guys. Thank you. ❤️❤️
Hi Devin this is a BANGER ❤️👍 love your reaction ❤️😆👍
Maurice with that bass line, tho...
Straight up filthy...
Love this song!!! Thanks!!!
I read a similar article on the naming of this song as dgj88 heard.
I love all your reactions ❤️❤️❤️ PLEASE do "Massachusetts" and "Closer than Close" !!!
excelent beegees i love it
The man with the long hair on the keybord or sythesizer is Blue Weaver. He was a member of the Bee Gees band during the disco era from 1975-1979
Theres a video about the formation of this song, which was originally "drive-talking" cause that riff-bass-beat was what they were hearing driving across one of them Florida bridges near Miami.

No bad songs on Main Course as we both know, right?😊
@@Zlata1313 Not a one. Hi you!

Love your reactions and I totally love the Bee Gees. Please do a reaction to their video "One."

EARLY MUST HEAR CLASSICS,,
BEE GEES "I'VE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU" & "I STARTED A JOKE"
I actually reacted to "I Started A Joke" already. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/QgdF6WB6Dyc/w-d-xo.html

You're fun to watch, Devin, such a happy guy.
You always crack me up enjoying your reactions Devin 😃
You are cracking me up man, some gooooooood music up in here. It's a lot of fun, so glad I came up in that era.

Same!!! New subscriber!
This is one of the first tracks they recorded when they decided to change up their sound to a more r&b sound- of which they were fans.
I knew the songs “ To Love Somebody” and “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart” and never knew who they were but I found out when “Jive Talking” was released.
Main Course album was the change in their sound. Love that album. Jive Talkin’ was the first hit when they changed their sound
I love Mo’s bass line in this song. My favorite song of his is “Above and Beyond” from 1993. Please try that one.
Agree on both counts.
Hey Devin, they have a song called “One” that came out on the same album that “You win again “ was on. I’d love you to react to it. Another great song !
You Win Again came out in 1987 on the E.S.P. album. One came out on the album of the same name in 1989…..with the entire album being dedicated to Andy!😉
@@kthor lol, not sure why I got that wrong. Thanks for the correction. I thought both those songs were in the same album!
@@kthor I was just about to chime in on the mistake, but you got it first LOL I have the ESP on EP and wore that out! HATED that it wasn't their mainstream comeback that it should have been. (Loved ONE too!)
Great song by the Bee gees ..... and great sermon by Devin .... love it!
Haha can’t wait to see your reaction to this awesomeness!! 💜💜🔥🔥
Andy is my favorite he is it for me. He was very talented in his own right. Left way to soon
I’ve seen Maurice play the key board a few times in videos!
They have great slow songs, too! Please do "first of may" "words" and "don't forget to remember"！💖💖💖
They are soooooo fine!

you can hear the Latino influence in their music after they moved to Miami in the 70's.
This is the first or second disco song . Depending on who you ask . Technically i believe it was second . Fisrt was an American musician. A few months before.
No, they were shifting to R&B with the Main Course album and hated the disco label they were tagged with later.
Go listen to the little bro, Andy Gibb. He looks like Barry.
Anytime I here this song makes you want to do the John Travolta/Bee Gees strut...lol They did sound tracks to some of the best classic movies like "Saturday Night Fever" where the strut was born...Blessings and Thank you
Gun and Jesus signs, you are my kind of people!!
Dude, you are awesome 😄 I just subscribed!
He was scatting.
This was the song that led about 70% of the population to think the Bee Gees was black.
Unfortunately Andy only joined Bee Gees for You should be Dancing video
