I cant belive how much the younger generation trips on the beegees its cool
In my young 20's I didn't appreciate disco or the Bee Gees so much. That has really turned around for me in the last 15 years, and there are probably a good number of boomers that have had that transition.
Robin has lead on bunches of songs, especially from the 60’s. Massachusetts is an example as well as I started a Joke. His twin brother Maurice ( pronounced Morris) is singing falsetto on the live version, but Barry does it on the recording. They all have fantastic range Barry has a soulful deep chest voice and his falsetto. Robin has an ethereal bravado, Mo is just all around talented and played bunches of instruments and mainly does backup and arrangement, but he does have some lead songs that are great as well. He preferred to be in the background. A Haunting version of Ellan Vannin done by Robin and Kings Collage Choir is fantastic ( the song is the official song for the Isle of Man ( where all three of the brothers were born).
From left to right: Maurice, Robin (twins) and older brother Barry. A beautiful song sung by Robin is ‘I started a joke’……Maurice died in 2003 and Robin in 2012. There was a younger brother, Andy, who sadly died when he had just turned 30, I believe in 1988.
Robin is the one with no beard Robin sings leads on many songs. Maurice is Robin's twin he also sometimes sings lead and Barry is the eldest. For whom the bell tolls really features Robin and Man in the Middle features Maurice on lead. They literally have over a thousand songs on their playlist.
i was a young rocker at 12.My mom loved them and i teased her,but i secretly liked them.ng flown and she loved it.I bought her spirits haviR.I.P mom.
Robins voice, to me is the greatest! Maurice, is the true secret weapon, he wrote down all the music for the BGs on guitar or piano. He could always find whatever harmonies they needed. He could sing anything. Of courseI love Barry. Who doesn’t? But nobody ever looks at the other 2... the true secret weapons for theBeeGees!!
As they said about Maurice :
He was a secret weapon , always hiding behind his brothers , always quiet and a multi instrumentalist, multi talented , the 3 of them plus Andy were incredibly singers , they used to walk the streets of Miami just like any other citizen , without body guards some times , used to do their own shopping and if you greeted them all tried to talk and say hi , they always set hello , very simple men that were real Geniuses in disguise. Awesome
Real talented Musicians and great singers . Rest in Peace :
Andy , Maurice & Robin.
May God bless you and protect you Barry , Bee Gees we’re Unique .
None of the Bee Gees could read or write musical script even Maurice! They had no musical education at all. To use their words it was all 'organic'. They would speak of a note being an A or G etc because they could all play keyboard and guitar (self taught/friend improved) but show them a stave with dots on and that was all it was to them. Making them all the more amazing.
Barry, the oldest, and doing his chest voice. Robin, the first twin,, who has an angelic vibrato. The second twin is Maurice/"Mo" (pronounced Morris) and he's a multi talented "harmonist" and plays many instruments. He was also the band leader. He did "ad libs" on this song, when they played live, and on their song "To Love Somebody", but otherwise it was Barry on the studio version. In fact, this very song is where Barry discovered he could do falsetto AND for an entire song! Their producer Arif Mardin wanted to put in-key 'screaming" towards the of the song and asked which of the brothers wanted to give it a try and Barry volunteered. He went on to being known to have one of THE BEST falsettos ever!
Robin was also a multi-instrumentalist.
Great reaction. There are no words to describe their greatness. Over 5 decades of perfection. One masterpiece after the next.
Broadway is in my top 3 Bee Gee tunes. Love the funky groove, Barry’s chest voice, Robin’s signature tone, Mo’s incredible backing vocals, the gorgeous harmonies in the slow bridge, even the stalker-ish lyrics 😅
Mine also 🎉❤❤
The Bee Gees also did an outstanding version of “I Can’t See Nobody” on Midnight Special. And that’s before we even talk about the mind-blowing medley (to end all medleys) they performed on the show.
The midnight special I can't see nobody is My ABSOLUTELY favorite performance by Robin
@@juliefox1743
Ditto.
@@juliefox1743 Have you seen the live at Melbourne version? It's Soooooo good.
th-cam.com/video/cOSiXc6_9t4/w-d-xo.html
Maurice is the second high harmony. Had you figured it out by now? They were and still are great.
My favorite part is Maurice really letting it go at the end with his falsetto "Blaming it all" yeah yeah!
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! It's a wonderful place. :)
Greatest harmony ever.
Do Robin on lead in "Bodyguard". Next..... Maurice in the lead position in " Closer than Close". Best Group Ever!!!!!
Check out their brother Andy Gibb on Midnight Special, I Just Want To Be Your Everything. Andy was just as talented, charismatic, & good-lookin as Barry, Robin & Mo
Your Going To Like This One .We Love All Of Their Music
Bee Gees
Words
I love this so much.❤❤❤
Next BeeGees listen: "Too Much Heaven", "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart", and/or "How Deep Is Your Love"......(from the BeeGees; the Brothers, Gibb; Left, Robin Gibb; Middle, Barry Gibb; Right, Maurice Gibb. Maurice and Robin are twins. Barry is the oldest.)
The Midnight Special! And Don Kirschner's Rock Concert (who pronounced it Dahhn Kushna's Rock Concit). Those were our Saturday nights growing up.
Singing falsetto was Maurice, his twin, Robin, in the middle was a tenor vibratto and could sing falsetto too though not here; Barry found his Reinforced falsetto on the studio version of this song where he was asked to scream in tune! This was during ad-libs at the end not done live.
I love Robin's voice, makes you melt.
I agree - I would love to hear Robin more!
Those are Barry’s parts and they should be no other way.
@@BGWhispererYes ma'am!
They have been writing since the late 60s. They wrote a song for Ottis Redding to sing what Ottis didn't have a chance to sing it because he died in a plane crash. Beside singing great they are great writers. Robin is a talented writer and has a unique voice. They have written for Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand, Diane Warwick, Dolly Parton, Celine Dion and others I can't remember right now but I will let you know. You should listen to "'Love is so right", "Fanny be tender with my love" and "Too much heaven". Maurice writes, as well as Barry. They awesome!
They all three wrote their songs. Mo mostly contributed to writing the melodies but not lyrics.
I saw them live at Saratoga.
Fleetwood Mac's 1976 Midnight Special performance of "Rhiannon" was probably one of their best live performances ever.. If you haven't reacted to Fleetwood Mac yet, that would be the vid to get you started. Stevie Nick's vocals were off the chain and the whole band was actually on fire that night! If you like Midnight Special I think you'd like that for sure.
Must do For Whom the Bell Tolls! And Fanny,
Barry’s chest voice is cool! Maurice doing the falsettos is sooooo awesome! And Robin is his gorgeous self!!!❤❤❤❤❤
this may be the best reaction video on youtube..... it is so well done and captivating..... thanks so much!
Barry always plays the guitar!
Robin played an acoustic in one of their older videos.
@@lauraallen55 - Also played piano, accordion and organ.
@@susieq9801 So talented!
Bee Gees/Lonely Days STUDIO VERSION. This is early Bee Gees before their comeback with Disco.
Amazing Song
Great reactions and comments
They get you moving
Enjoyed watching this with you
Barry was 9 and twins Maurice, beard and Robin no facial hair were 6 the first time they performed.
They are brothers the one in the middle is Robin and Maurice is the other one
Listen to I Started A Joke
Patrick, please react to Bee Gees Reaching Out it is so incredible.
It really is!
Robin gibb center Barry Gibbs right and Maurice Gibbs to the left... Robin and Maurice are twin brothers. And they have a younger brother Andy who had a solo career.
Saw your surprise when Barry came out with his low voice. Robin is the middle and Mo ( Maurice, pronounced Morris) is the one doing the falsetto on this live. On the album it is Barry doing the falsetto, but he can't do both at the same time live. They can all do falsetto, but not sustained, Barry can do a whole song falsetto and even hold a note like that a long time. This is the 1st song that Arif Mardan, the producer at the time, asked someone to scream in tune, they were doing ad libs so Barry said he'd give it a try and everyone in the booth sat up and kept telling him to do more of that and so the mid to late 70's sound was created. As you can see Barry's voice ranges from the chest voice here to his falsetto in too much heaven, etc. They write their own songs and have written for other folks too. They have been covered and sampled by bunches of folks as well. The other brothers have great range of voice as well. They all play instruments too. But they have had no formal training! Amazing!
in this one and many of the early ones Maurice sang falsetto
Great job.
I appreciate this comment. Such good info.
@@paulmorris8762Barry sings the falsetto in the studio recording. He just can’t do two things at once live.
I love the end of this one when Maurice comes in and surprises the heck out of everyone. Maurice on far left in black. Robin,no instrument, plays his voice. Robin always comes through. Maurice is the quiet secret weapon.
Check out the live of To Love Somebody from the mid-60s. Mo does a couple falsetto bits near the end. They all could sing falsetto very well!
Robin is the guy in the middle. His voice is fantastic. Check out I Started A Joke, which is from the 1960s. He is the soloist in that, or Massachusetts, Maurice is the other guy, he is Robin's twin he has a very good voice too though he didn't do much solo singing.
Robin is usually in the middle, he has the eerie glorious voice...he is incredible! Yes he is a super weapon. Maurice, on the end can do anything!!! He Is singing the falsettos. Barry has actually a very deep voice! You’ll learn! What you need to know is, they all can do everything!!❤
OMG I have spent three hours watching young people's reactions to the Bee Gees, many grown men have cried. I was 18 when this song came out, I'm 62 now. I love the Bee Gee's, I reacted the same ;-) Timeless!!!
😊I was chair dancing right along with you! You just can't control it when the Bee Gees are in the room!this is my second time sitting in with you, again I want to thank you for allowing me to do that! GREAT reaction!
Nights on Broadway is one of my favorite favorites in a very long line of a favorites - lol. It is the one that seems to throw the reactors who only know Bee Gees from the late 70s disco era. Oh man, they have so so much. Enjoy the journey.
Fanny Be Tender is one of the GREAT ones.
Great song indeed! Quincy Jones says it's his fave r&b track
Popular music doesn't get any better than this .... it's just a shame that we don't see artists of this caliber in today's music ...
Good Lord. More people need to realize how GREAT The Bee Gees are.
For people who are mainly familiar with their disco era, this is quite a departure, with Barry singing the baritone, Robin singing the chorus alone, and Maurice singing the falsetto's, they were all so multitalented, there will never be another like the Bee Gee's.....RIP Andy💟, Maurice 💟 & Robin 💟
Love this song...These guys are the greatest!!
One of my favorite songs by the greatest group!! Love Maurice on the high notes you don't get to hear him by himself often. Fanny be tender will blow you away To love somebody and Man in the Middle
did you watch the live performance on the midnight special. Mo does all the falsettos when they are live because Barry is singing the chorus with Robin. Don't know how you missed it@siobhanhayden7730
As others have said, Robin had a uniquely fabulous voice and took the lead in a lot of their early hits like Massachusetts (their first UK No 1), I Gotta Get a Message to You, I Started a Joke etc. Barry dominated in the late 70s which is why Robin is lesser known to people who have mainly concentrated on that era.
I think Robin sang the lead on “I started a Joke” and not Barry.
on the live MS version Maurice did a lot of falsetto whereas Robin mainly did it on verses alternating with Barry singing normal
on this one ie live - watch as he plays bass and sings falsetto
@@honeymonkey6105 - Robin wrote and sang "I started a Joke".
This is the song that they discovered Barry's falsetto.
This is a great song of many great songs. Their catalogue/rabbit hole is long and deep. Fanny be Tender with my love, Jive Talking, You should be dancing, You Win Again...40 plus years of hits. Also late 60s stuff where Robin, brother in the middle, featured more. Maurice has great songs too and is responsible for some of their best bass lines. He also plays piano and keyboards. Robin plays instruments too but more for writing of songs. Lots to learn so enjoy!
Thanks, Pat - Robin is my guy! they were all amazing, but to me he was the most unique! (also check out the eternally under-rated Maurice on those vocals!) look forward to more ....
Maurice or Mo always rocked that bass. He also plays keys & has a great voice. Robin's vibrato is like nobody elses. Barry is amazing....the magic is the blend of these 3 unique voices together
I love this group and I enjoy your reactions!❤😍
Love hearing Mo singing falsetto and when he says WOO! He was so underrated. Miss these guys together so much.
This is one of my top 10 out of thousands!!! This may surprise you. They are all in different voice tonight. Barry is in his regular baritone voice, and Maurice does his great falsettos!!
Three blessed singers! To identify their voices, check'em out with 'Words' (Barry), 'And The Sun Will Shine' (Robin) and 'Omega Man' (Maurice). Most of falsetto-voices on many songs were done by Barry, so he's been able to sing it powerful and also with vibrato. Younger brother Andy, maybe if you're willing, with a song called 'Time Is Time'. He looks and sounds much like Barry.
Before the "falsetto disco songs", Maurice was the high note man. Robin in the middle has an extreme vibrato. Barry has most of the leads.
Barry in Levi’s, Robin in beige outfit, Maurice playing bass.
Left to right (from audience angle) is Maurice, Robin, and Barry. I have seen several people react to this but I absolutely loved yours. The double takes were priceless. As you look into their earlier stuff you will see more and more of their range. A FABULOUS rabbit hole to dive into for sure.
Barry, Robin (lead on this), Maurice Gibb. They all can sing! All play multiple instuments.
Robin is the one you’re talking about that killed it. He was actually the lead in a lot of their older songs. Check out I started a joke, got to get a letter to you. Love your reactions , keep it up!!❤️
I believe he wanted to get ‘a message’ to you, lol!
actually Maurice was doing the falsetto and he killed it!
Fanny Be Tender With My Love is fantastic!
Maurice did the falsetto..he is gifted n plays all kinds of instruments n has the high vocals in lots of songs..luv our Moxxxxxx...Robin Mos twin has incredible vocals..n Barry wow!!! They all have their gifts..n the baby brother the late brother Andy..look him up too..he died @ 30...Barry is the only brother left...he was the protector of his siblings..English group originally from Manchester U k...the most talented lads EVER..they are soing writters.( thousands songs) hundreds of songs for lots of others artists..they truly are amazing...yet very humble..read their autobiography....
Robin played several instruments too....
Love Robin!!! One of a kind voice!! A word to all singers please be yourself!!! Don’t try and sound like someone you’re not!!
You must have to check their best three part harmony song it is for sure: Fanny Be Tender - Barry will blow you out the water 🔥💪👍🍾
I love that song; so many changes and so much nuance.
They all blow you out the water on Fanny as they all sing their entire ranges and they all have baritone through falsetto.
@@lisasmithline1386 The build and chord changes remind me a lot of She's Gone by Hall and Oates.
@@lauraallen55 , I agree with you, and I appreciate another listener and appreciater of multiple genres of music. I like stuff from the 50s until today, but I must admit that my love of music is mostly concentrated between 1965 and 1980. Sure, there are truly magnificent songs on either side of those dates, but that era Just "grabs" me like no other. I'm 54, by the way.
I love them all but my favorite is Robin- so quirky. Love his dancing. Love his voice. They all play instruments. Robin in I started a joke , gotta get a message to you.
All three are exceptional on their own 🤩 all three together are extraordinary 🤩
I am so grateful to have lived through the era of Midnight Special!😊😊😊😊
Every teenage girl was in love with the Bee Gees.
Every teenage girl was in love with Barry.
@@BGWhispererYes ma'am!
This is one of my favorite songs!! Notice, Maurice...is doing the falsettos this time!!
My favorite group of all time. They kept their music updated over the years, although I preferred their older songs. Robin is my favorite, his voice is so unusual. Robin does the lead on a lot of their older ones. Try The Jocker
Yes, I STARTED A JOKE became his solo spotlight for concerts. His 1989 live performance is my favorite. Would love to have a reaction!!!
As Maurice said, his twin brother Robin's voice "is the one that touches your heart". 1000+ songs written by the 3 of them over decades. Loads of great stuff for you to discover. Welcome to a very deep Rabbit Hole.
In this song, the high dulcet notes are supplied by Mo as Barry and Rob swap lead & harmony throughout. They have written over 1000 songs.
Barry, Robin & Maurice (pronounced Morris). Maurice was a great musician…. Played many instruments.
So did Robin
Watch the recently released" How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" documentary. You'll learn so much about them. It's great!
This is a great song. Robin is the one singing with Barry and Maurice was who sang the falsetto Robin and Maurice are twins. I love the Bee Gees they have always been a part of my life it has been a privilege to have lived in this music era. There were many great singers that were good but the best ever was the Bee Gees. Enjoyed your reaction. Just to mention I saw your reaction to Al Green singing How do you Mend a Broken Heart which was a good rendition but it was written and sung by the Bee Gees fyi.
You should check they’re official videos of “Alone “, “ You win again” , For “whom the bell tolls” ,“You should be dancing “live, spirits-tour 1979, they killed it! Maurice takes lead on “closer then close” ( live in Las Vegas , 1997 ) They have many documentaries and interviews on TH-cam.
Love Barry Gibb. He's the best performer/song writer/singer & is still going at 75 years of age.
Yelp the oldest one
He will be honored at the Kennedy Centers Honors.😊😊😊
Yeah, I love the funky sound of this song and I love that all three of their voices are showcased and that Maurice actually does the falsetto in this one. So many great ones for you to discover!
Nights On Broadway is my favorite Bee Gee's song!!!! Robin's voice is sooo amazing. He recorded 6 or 7 solo albums. I'd love to see you react to his version of "Love Hurts." The Brothers Gibb wrote hundreds of songs for themselves as well as other artists. Even more amazing is that none of them could read music.
Barry's voice is also amazing, & he sings first lead on this. Mo & Barry also helped write Robin's solo albums.🎵
Edit: Mo & Barry helped write Robin's three 80s solo albums.
@@kthor - Nobody said Barry's voice wasn't amazing.
Barry did not write any of "How old are you" which had the only solo hit ever by a Bee Gee (Juliet) written by Maurice and Robin and produced by Maurice. Barry had no input on "Robin's Reign", "Magnet" (except one song) or the beautiful "50 St Catherine's Drive" and had nothing to do with "The Titanic Requiem" as played by the National Philharmonic.
As for this song, much of it is sung concurrently by Barry and Robin together with separate lead bits by both but that's nit picking.
The Midnight Special was on from Feb 1973 until May 1981, & was a 90 minute program which followed the Friday night edition of The Tonight Show Starring Johny Carson. The lady who introduced The Bee Gees was Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole (she passed in 2015). Burt Sugarman created & produced the weekly special…..& is also the husband of Mary Hart (if anyone knows who she is?😂). Was just a great great show to tune into every Friday!!👍
You old bag, troll!
@Top500Songs-zo1ff Right back atcha!😉
@Top500Songs-zo1ff And he likes his own comment....again?🤔This must be another username associated with you, along with Tom (@Top500songs), Tom67, Duke, Tony A, Anthony, John Birch, Spud Johnson & likely more. YT's monitoring such linked accounts, & will do so until the harassment stops.
I would suggest two great songs written by the Bee Gees for you to react to. Dionne Warwick with Heartbreaker. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton with Islands In The Stream.
Robin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
Mo's falsetto was understated
Your reaction: great creative format, very descriptive, and very sincere. Please react: Stayin Alive, Massachusetts (live), You Should be Dancing, Alone, etc
Maurice has a great voice. Check out House of Shame. Live! Wedding Day is a great song on their last album before Mo died.
Robin is the best! Most beautiful voice in the world.He sings solo on about half of the song!! Find ‘em!!!❤❤❤
Sorry....Robin doesn't sing solo on half the song.
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by The Bee Gees. A song written by Carol King, sung by the Shirells in the 60’s. The Ber Gees made it their own as a tribute to Carol King, on the Tapresty Album.
If you like this funky classic - check out '' BACKTAFUNK '' by the BG's a soulful funky jam from the E.S.P album .
Great reaction … welcome to The Bee Gees rabbit hole! Listen to Fanny Be Tender, you will not be disappointed 👍🏻
Check out Run to me, words, to love somebody, Fanny Be Tender with my love, the only love, I surrender, wind of change, from the 60's ( Robin sang a lot leads back then, ( I started a joke, Massachusetts, my world, I just gotta get a message to you, etc.) will send you the links later if you like. Enjoy!😎
I was 14 when this came out. I was crushin on them so hard I thought I'd die from it. Lol teenage girl drama.
Mo really shines in this song. Oh yah, and his bass playing isn’t so bad either.
What I love about this video, is that it shows Maurice singing the high falsetto, which was always him, even when Barry started singing falsetto (on the Main Course album)
