@@patriciacanadiansenior8130 Thanks Patricia for watching and for the info. These guys were as big as you could get back in the 70s. I really enjoyed so many of their songs. Thanks again and take care.
@@patriciacanadiansenior8130 There were a ton of great Disco bands and songs. I always enjoyed K.C. and the Sunshine Band and so many others. I'm glad you're kid and grandkids enjoy them.
Always loved the Bee Gees. They could hit some notes. I think there's only one left. Even the little brother Andy is gone. Disco era was different with the bell bottom pants and high heeled shoes. Was fun while it lasted. Have a nice weekend Tom.
@@DennisButton-h7i I did enjoy the bell bottom pants but I have worn tennis shoes all my life, I even wore them at my kids weddings. I didn't realize they were almost all gone. Thanks Dennis and take care my great friend
They started out singing professionally in 1958 when they were kids. Barry (the lead on this song) was about 11-12, the twins - yes, Robin & Maurice (pronounced Morris) were fraternal twins 3 years younger than Barry. I hope you’ll do their song TOO MUCH HEAVEN, If you want to see a deeper voice from them, do the live version from 1975 Midnight Special of NIGHTS ON BROADWAY or WIND OF CHANGE!
There is video of their first tv appearance at ages 13 and 9 in 1960 singing a song Barry wrote called TIME IS PASSING BY. Please consider reacting to it.
The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too th-cam.com/video/7niXSh7vWRI/w-d-xo.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: th-cam.com/video/WH_j90fCIk4/w-d-xo.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out th-cam.com/video/vfHUS5Mf00Q/w-d-xo.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: th-cam.com/video/MT9vRHSWNbk/w-d-xo.html. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you th-cam.com/video/CA4CInDnTk8/w-d-xo.html. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: th-cam.com/video/162GlAEpfrY/w-d-xo.html. Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on th-cam.com/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/w-d-xo.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing th-cam.com/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/w-d-xo.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg
@@jayeginn5963 Thanks Jay for watching I really appreciate you. Also thanks for the absolutely amazing information. I didn't know he was dating Victoria Principal. I did the same thing as a toddler, my grandfather was drinking hot coffee at the breakfast table and I reached up and tilted the saucer and the coffee came down my arm. I was lucky I only got a small scar down by my armpit. I really loved the Bee Gees and their songs were fantastic. Thanks again and again thanks for the info it was very informational. Take care
@@grumpyoldguyreacts Yeah, regarding the hot fluids: there's a difference between a hot cup of coffee and a POT of just boiled tea. Plus his accident happened somewhere in 1947/1948, so I think that made a difference, too.
Some songs someone put on at work today MKTO classic Sia cheap thrills Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis thrift shop Can’t remember what else they played but Clint Eastwood had an album called Clint Eastwood sings cowboy favourites
@@Jammy1922 I LOVED Clint Eastwood movies and I just remember him singing in the movie Paint Your Wagon. I recorded George Ezra today so it will be up in a couple weeks. Thanks Jammy and take care
Not my favorite song by The Bee-Gees. Too muuch falsetto. I could dance to it, I saw the movie too. A lot of famous people were born in 1958. including yorself and my brother Brian. Have a great weekend my friend.
Love these guys!
Barry, the tall one, Robin, no beard, & Maurice, beard. Born 1946, & 1949. R. & M. were fraternal twins.
