This was actually written by the BeeGees in the early 70s . You would be surprised at how many songs out there that were written by the BeeGees ! They had no problem writing for others !
The Bee-Gees version is the original. They wrote it, as a matter of fact. Their version was originally released in 1971, Al Green's gorgeous cover came out a year later in 1972. "Lonely Days" is another one you'll like. It came out in 1970, just for (ahem) the record.
Bee Gees wrote it as one of two they wrote right after they re-united after 15-18 months split (1969-71), and it was covered by many artists, with Al Green's cover among the best.
As far as I know, if the Bee Gees recorded a song it was because they wrote it. Many others have covered their songs like Al Green. All are wonderful. They considered themselves song writers and then singers. Nice reaction.
"" is a song released by the Bee Gees in 1971. It was written by Barry and Robin Gibb and was the first single on the group's 1971 album . It was their first US No. 1 single and also reached No. 1 in magazine for two weeks.
Little fact about this song.. Robin and Barry were at odds, and this song was something Robin was working on, and help repair the relationship when they finished it together ❤
This is one of those songs that brings back memories of a 16 year old heartbroken teenager that thought the world was going to end. It still brings the tears. 😥😥😥💔
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote this song and put it on their Trafalgar album in 1971… Al Green put it on an album that he had in 1971 but it was just a cover song because the Bee Gees had already recorded it in written a song
I checked, but I could not find any information where the Bee Gees singing someone else’s song. For the most part, they release songs that they wrote because All three of them are songwriters. They have written songs for other people.
For future reference: The Bee Gees have written over 2200 songs and I have heard them cover only one, 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by Carole King. They have written MANY songs for other artists that garnered them hits. lol! Dionne Warwick had a HUGE hit with, "Heartbreaker" and said she herself didn't care for it herself and had cried all the way to the bank! Here are a few other songs off the top of my head. Let's see how many you know! "Guilt", "Woman in Love", "What Kind Of Fool" al by Barbara Streisand with Barry singing with her. "Islands in the Stream" won best country song for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, "Emotion" by Samantha Sang, "Immortality" by Celine Dion with Bee Gees singing back up, "Grease" by Frankie Valle, ""Love Reaction" by Diana Ross, "I Just Want To Be Your Everything", Shadow Dancing" recorded by their little brother Andy Gibb. "Rest You Love On Me" by Olivia Newton John, to name a few.
The Bee Gees singing harmony together always always brings tears to my eyes. Not sadness or memories, just the sound, it touches something inside and releases emotions no matter whether it's a sad song or happy, fast or slow. They were AMAZING. New York mining disaster is one of my all time favourite songs of theirs
It is the Bee Gees song they wrote it in1971. Many of their songs were covered by others. To love Somebody which the wrote for Otis Redding they did themselves after Otis was killed in a plane crash. They have written so many songs, all that they sang and many for others. I love the Bee Gees which I consider the greatest ever. Love your reactions!! This song was preformed in 2001 at a concert by live by request on A&E that was televised. It is absolutely great all the brothers had lead songs. This is played on TH-cam.
I swear if you love the BeeGees their documentary on HBOMax...I can't say enough. It made me cry, it made me laugh, and the best part was it made me remember my life.
I have to say that when I first checked out your channel I wasn't sure about your guy's style but after checking you guys out for over a year I'm glad to say that I really like your channel! I watch all your reactions now. You guys make great choices for new music and I really like your style. You make a great team. Another great video. 😉👍🏼
Since i was a child i only heard al green sing this song so i was really suprised when i found out that it was the bee gees song both versions sound great and bring their own style to it🎶🔥🎶
Women in love (B.Streisand ) Heartbreaker (Dionne W) and Islands in the stream (Kenny R. & Dolly P) were just 3 hits written by the BeeGees big hits for other artists ..👍✌
Fanny Be Tender With My Love is another great Bee Gees Song to react to. You Should Be Dancing is another great Bee Gees song and their Youngest Brother Andy Gibb sings with them.
Fun Fact: as the comment points out below how many hits they wrote for others AND they are in the rock hall of Fame for writing the MOST HITS for themselves AND OTHERS by FAR.
The Bee Gees ( Brothers Gibb) always considered themselves song writers before performers. There are so many genres in their songs. It’s so heartbreaking that those harmonies are only alive on tape in their catalogue. Great video. Have you listened to “ Heartbreaker” Dionne Warwick or “ Islands in the Stream” Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers? Both written by The Bee Gees. Best selling single for Dionne ( Whitney Houston’s Aunt) and still the number one selling country single of all time for Dolly and the late Kenny. It’s good to be a songwriter and publisher!😎🇺🇸
The Bee Ges wrote and perforned some amazing songs! Can you please react to their songs: Run to Me, Nights on Broadway, Fanny Be Tender With My Love , their Live Versions of Winds of Change, Come On Over, and Love So Right. Studio versions of Subway, The Way It Was, Children of the World,;Stayin Alive; Night Fever, More than A Woman,Too Much Heaven, Tragedy, Love You Inside & Out, Reaching Out, Spirits Having Flown, Search Find, Stop & Think Again, Living Together, and Emotion.
Written in 1970 the same day they got back together after Robin left for 18 months. They were pretty miserable without each other and learned a lot from their experience.
A lot of people don't really talk about him, but there was a younger Gibb brother, named Andy. He was an actor and a singer. He died at a young age. Check out his song "I Just Want To Be Your Everything"
Hi Half and Jai! This is an original song done by the Bee Gees aka the Bros Gibb in 1971.."How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” was the lead single on the Bee Gees album Trafalgar. Primarily written by Barry and Robin, the song was the band's first U.S. number one hit! As you know, AL Green did a really beautiful cover of the song in 1972. I love both artists, but Al's version creeps into my very bones little bit more.
Awesome. Just for some laughs, how about a little Weird Al Yankovich? Maybe “White and Nerdy”, “It’s all about the pentiums” or some old school weird Al with “Eat It”?
The Bee Gees wrote this song. This is their song. Al Green covered it. Many have covered this song. The Bee Gees felt Al Green's cover was the best version . This was one of Michael Jackson's favorite songs. Barry Gibb in interviews has talked about how Jackson, who he became good friend's with , used to call him & ask him to sing this song to him over the phone. There's a You Tube video of Jackson talking about this song. You should check out Fanny, Be Tender (not just the audio version of it ), More Than a Woman & You Should Be Dancing.
Have you ever heard of Quincy Jones…he has stated the best RB song ever was by The Bee Gees called Fanny. Be sure to watch when they were younger in a pink shirt.
Bee Gees released it in 1971 & Al covered it in 1972. Both great, although the Bee Gees have a sound no one can duplicate. Except their younger brother Andy Gidd had the same voice & vibe & his brothers. Check out Andy's 'Shadow dancing'.
Great reaction as always ❤ no matter how many reaction channels there is, ill always come to yall!! First people i watched in reaction channels was yalls and then Mr Videos. My top people always. I enjoy others but yall come first!!! Love you two lots ❤ peace, love and good vibes 🥰
a person should never have to ask if a song was done or written by the bee gees first, the answer is always going to be the Bee Gees.
Relax Francis.
Truth.
This was written by Barry and Robin Gibb in 1971. But there is so many hits that they wrote, that others preformed
Yep.
Barry alone wrote over 200 songs.
Maurice was credited later as a co-writer.
R.I.P. Barry's Brothers Andy , Maurice and Robin Gibb
Can’t ever go wrong with The Bee Gees

Teddy pendergrass sing it to 1990
Look it on youtube tell turth
Tell half and jai that to they learn to teddy pendergrass
Bee Gees wrote it as one of two they wrote right after they re-united after 15-18 months split (1969-71), and it was covered by many artists, with Al Green's cover among the best.
"Words "and "Closer Than Close " by The Bee Gees are incredible songs that rarely get reacted to.
As far as I know, if the Bee Gees recorded a song it was because they wrote it. Many others have covered their songs like Al Green. All are wonderful. They considered themselves song writers and then singers. Nice reaction.

Little fact about this song.. Robin and Barry were at odds, and this song was something Robin was working on, and help repair the relationship when they finished it together ❤
Barry was working on it and asked ROBIN if he wanted to help work on it. Then Barry asked him to sing lead-- as a gesture of good will.
@@AlamoDame7 Barry worshipper I guess...
This is one of those songs that brings back memories of a 16 year old heartbroken teenager that thought the world was going to end. It still brings the tears. 😥😥😥💔
JIve Talkin! My favorite Bee Gee's song. Funky!
This was written by the Bee Gees and covered by Al Green.
The Bee Gees will get you every time!💕💕💕
Bee Gees wrote their own songs.
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song. The Bee Gees released it in 1971 and Al Green released it in 1972.
Johnny Mathis actually recorded this before The Reverend did.
Bee Gees wrote this beautiful song! They were so talented !
They are the BEST
the Bee Gees wrote this in 1970 and performed it in 1971, Al Green sang it in 1972
Check out Robin Gibb who sings lead on the song "I started a joke" back in the 60s. His voice is amazing!
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote this song and put it on their Trafalgar album in 1971… Al Green put it on an album that he had in 1971 but it was just a cover song because the Bee Gees had already recorded it in written a song
their younger brother andy died years ago and he looked just like barry..sad that barry is the only one left. RIP BROTHERS GIBB
I checked, but I could not find any information where the Bee Gees singing someone else’s song. For the most part, they release songs that they wrote because All three of them are songwriters. They have written songs for other people.
You should react to "To Love Somebody," which they wrote for Otis Redding, but he passed away before he could record it.
They have many a timeless classics. Hard to find songs like this these days. Keep up the great work👍
I Love Both Of You You Are Both A Bright Light In My Day. The Bee Gees Have So Many Hits To Choose From. Love Your Reviews😊👍
Love it just what I need xxx love to you all

Their catalogue is so vast, you won’t run out of BeeGee songs

New York mining disaster is one of my all time favourite songs of theirs
It is wonderful to see you discovering the Bee Gees it was a great time and it was wonderful
Bee gees stayin alive is gonna blow your mind!
The Bee Gees (The Brothers Gibb) wrote and released the song in 1971. Al Green did it a year later in his album ‘Let’s Stay Together’.
It is the Bee Gees song they wrote it in1971. Many of their songs were covered by others. To love Somebody which the wrote for Otis Redding they did themselves after Otis was killed in a plane crash.

Written by Barry and Robin Gibb
In their much younger years they were called the Brothers Gibb, the initials being BG hence Bee Gees
Have you reacted to Bee Gees Too Much Heaven? That song and Run to Me are both beautiful. Jive Talkin’, Tragedy have a funky disco groove.
I swear if you love the BeeGees their documentary on HBOMax...I can't say enough.
It made me cry, it made me laugh, and the best part was it made me remember my life.
Al Green‘s version was used in the movie “Nottinghill” which starred Julia Roberts.
Yes that's what I was gonna say.don't forget Hugh Grant 😁
@@sarablack2547 I was going to put his name down but I completely forgot it! Thanks for listing his name sweetie.
@@LadyGator1983 🙂👍
The Bee Gees wrote the song.
It's a Bee Gees original. Listen to the studio cut. Their ability to replicate their sound live was amazing.
From what I understand, the Bee Gees never sang a song that someone else wrote.
“(Fanny)Be Tender with My Love” is great. So is “You Should Be Dancing” by them.
I have to say that when I first checked out your channel I wasn't sure about your guy's style but after checking you guys out for over a year I'm glad to say that I really like your channel! I watch all your reactions now. You guys make great choices for new music and I really like your style. You make a great team. Another great video. 😉👍🏼
The BEST Bee Gee's song is Too Much Heaven!!
Love the bee gees they had a lot of great hits
Barry Gibb wrote the song. Just like he wrote Islands in the Stream....and many others.
Since i was a child i only heard al green sing this song so i was really suprised when i found out that it was the bee gees song both versions sound great and bring their own style to it🎶🔥🎶
Bee Gees wrote it. They are the best!
The first was the Bee Gee's, they wrote it and recorded it
One performance u should watch is ELO, live at Wembley performing " Telephone Line", the instrumental is nothing but amazing!!!
BeeGees wrote it.
Please do “I Started a Joke” featuring Robin singing from 1968!
Yes ! I published a piano cover too 🎹👍🏻
Women in love (B.Streisand ) Heartbreaker (Dionne W) and Islands in the stream (Kenny R. & Dolly P) were just 3 hits written by the BeeGees big hits for other artists ..👍✌
Fanny Be Tender With My Love is another great Bee Gees Song to react to. You Should Be Dancing is another great Bee Gees song and their Youngest Brother Andy Gibb sings with them.
Fanny Be Tender With My Love and For Whom the Bell Tolls are amazing. You won't be disappointed!!
bee gees i couldn't love you more
Fun Fact: as the comment points out below how many hits they wrote for others AND they are in the rock hall of Fame for writing the MOST HITS for themselves AND OTHERS by FAR.
Still listening to this and loving it in July 2024, anyone else:?
Right here with you!!

You all need hear the earlier 1971 version . This was good. All The Bee Gees songs were their songs.
The Bee Gees released the song after it was written by the group back in the 60's
Al Green covered that song. The Bee Gee's wrote it. I love to watch you guys. 8-5-2021
Man yall have gotten in this BeeGees rabbit hole and can't get out. I think it's great. Keep it going.
The Bee Ges wrote and perforned some amazing songs!

I just love you guys your so sweet lol
I'd love for y'all to do a reaction video for Bee Gees song "Gotta Get A Message to You". My favorite BG song ever.
Written in 1970 the same day they got back together after Robin left for 18 months. They were pretty miserable without each other and learned a lot from their experience.
Bee Gees wrote it! They were amazing song writers. I heard they wrote the whole track for the movie "Saturday night fever" in 1 week..😳
Did you know the Bee Gees wrote Islands in the Stream and Grease?
Keep doing what y'all doing. Y'all good vibes bring me up!!! Baby.
Beautiful voices. Such talent. ❤️
Every Bee Gees song is the original.
You should do an upbeat funky song of theirs next
" Nights on Broadway " is a must hear !!
Barry and Robin Gibbs of the Bee Gee’s wrote that s song in 1971.
You Win Again is my favorite.
Song was written by Robin and Barry Gibbs
You've made tears come to my eye's .. I would love to have seen them too.. but the only brother alive is Barry... and i truly so sad...
A lot of people don't really talk about him, but there was a younger Gibb brother, named Andy. He was an actor and a singer. He died at a young age. Check out his song "I Just Want To Be Your Everything"
love the Bee Gees. can you react to I started a joke?
Love them!💕💟💋
