Girl from OZ here. My favourite Bee Gees songs is pre disco no doubt. They came to my high school fete when I was bout 14. They left here just after their record Spicks and Specks was charting You know I am not fond of covers but the Bee Gees do an amazing version of Carol Kings “ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”. I prefer Bee Gees version and Carol Kings version was off an LP called “Tapestry” and that album was huge at that time. Glad to see you appreciate our music of the 60s and 70s how spoilt we were.
Yeah, I agree. To be honest I didn't like the 70'sdisco Bee Gees at all. Barry did write some good songs in early 80s for the likes of Barbara and Dolly.
Yep. The falsetto was a novelty starting with Saturday Night Fever but it honestly began to get a bit tedious to me knowing how they sang the older stuff.
@@DawnSuttonfabfourhow about Somebody Stop The Music or Trafalgar?For Jay who "would neeever guess it was the Beegees..",how about Coalman?This early track,written by Barry,sounds almost exactly like a recently discovered 60s Beatles track.
@@redatlit robin in my opinion has the most moving male voice i have ever heard not sure what it is but there is just something about his voice favorite female voice is judith durham of the seekers five hundred miles is incredible
The pre-disco period of the Bee Gees ran from 1967 to 1974. Songs from that era was "Massachusetts", "I Started a Joke", "To Love Somebody", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Holiday", "I've Gotta Get a Message to You", "Run to Me", "Lonely Days", and "World". In 1975 began their disco era when they released the album "Main Course" which featured "Jive Talkin'", "Nights on Broadway" and "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)".
There are so many great early BeeGees songs- - New York Mining Disaster 1941 (Robin's haunting voice as a miner talking to fellow miners trapped beneath the earth) - I Started a Joke (anothet deeply touching song by Robin) - Run to Me -To Love Somebody -Be Tender With My Love - I've Gotta Get a Message to You ❤❤❤
The Bee Gees were likely one of the most important music groups of the 60's and 70's. They either played your favorite song, or they wrote it and somebody else played it. This song is one you can only sing for someone who is THE love of your life. I love this song so very much. And yes, I am a romantic, deal with it.
My Dad was in a care facility and whenever I took him anywhere in the car, he'd want me to play this for him. He passed away 4 years ago and I think of him every time I hear this song 😢
@@karendoss6026 Thank you! My husband and I spent time with him every weekend. Then covid hit and we weren't allowed to see him. After 6 months of not being able to see him I had spoken to him on the phone, he was upset about being isolated from his family. He died in his sleep several days later on Fathers Day. He was almost 90 and had lived a good life, but it was heartbreaking all the same ❤️❤️❤️
They have so many great songs pre-disco. Check out "Run To Me," "To Love Somebody," "Lonely Days," (which is very Beatles-esque), "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," "I've Got To Get A Message To You," and so many more. I'm so glad you're discovering their early material. Thanks for sharing.
To put into perspective, Barry was 21 years old when he wrote this song, and the Bee Gees recorded. Most people think Bee Gees, and they automatically think Disco, but they had a HUGE library before they re-invented themselves in the late 70s and did their disco era. They are an amazing band and some of the greatest songwriters of our time. When a band is on the same argument as the Beatles as the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, they did something right. Keep reviewing old school Bee Gees songs, it was some of their best work!
It's amazing to see how their talents matured as they developed their song-writing skills over the years. Their Disco years put more layers on what was already a really good ear for melody and harmony with a balance of drama.
If you haven't reacted to "Run to Me" by the Bee Gees yet, that one should be next. It's my favorite of their 1960's pre-disco songs. I prefer all of their non-falsetto songs. Ironically, "Nights on Broadway" is one of my favorite songs of theirs, yet it's one of the first songs they used a falsetto on that I'm aware of.
This is my absolute favorite Bee Gees song! So glad you finally got to it. Unlike other songs that get stuck in my head, I will gladly carry this one around for days!
The logical next step in your Bee Gees journey is "To Love Somebody". If y'all want to hear a standout vocal from Robin, y'all have to react to "I Started A Joke".
Baby brother Andy did a lovely (live) rendition of this song... looking every bit as if he was his older brother Barry's twin - in spite of the 12 year age difference.
This song is very pre-disco era. It was released in 1968. It wasn't until the mid 70's (while recording "Nights On Broadway") that Barry realized he could sing falsetto well and it became a signature Bee Gees sound.
I saw them live in Sept. 71 when I was 18. Ohio State basketball arena. Center stage, 4th row. They had a small orchestra with them. The show was even better than I expected. Memorable for sure.
Barry always sings this to Linda in every concert. Gorgeous. The footage from the 1979 concert where he dedicates it to Linda and she's shown holding Stephen, their eldest, will melt your heart. Footage is from Spirits having Flown concert. Worth watching because they are at their prime.
The outro with only his voice's natural tremelo is what makes this song iconic. When we teens first hear this over the airwaves we were left in stunned silence, not knowing how to categorize this song, and yet were knew immediately that we were listening to something profoundly romantic. This song was slowed danced to at many a teen club dance.
This is Barry’s signature song, and always sings to his wife Linda. Some beautiful performances of this. You would also enjoy To Love Somebody, Living Eyes, I Surrender and Ordinary Lives.
The disco era was truly a blip in the very long career of The Bee Gees. The popularity of that time, however, was truly insane. Many great songs before and after that period- many of which are upbeat and have a groove. But their voices together in love songs is truly angelic. The Only Love is a beautiful song from 1991 with Barry on lead vocals.
Andy Gibb did a stunning version of this song. It was a Command Performance for President Reagan. Andy looked great in his tux & absolutely slayed. IMO, he was the most versatile of all the brothers, an amazing natural talent.
Barry's falsetto didn't start until they were writing the songs for Saturday Night Fever when one of the producers asked if one of the brothers could do it and Barry said he would give it a shot. The rest is history.
The live performances are the best, you have so many songs to choose from late 50s to 2000s. Incredible brothers that never disappoint. To love somebody live is a favourite of mine . Thankyou for reacting to this great group ❤
This is the time frame that created their die-hard fans - disco almost killed their careers - they had to work SO hard when disco died to maintain their relevance. But some of us love every version of them and ALL their music!!!
Technically they were part of the "British invasion" of the 60s, although a couple of years after The Beatles. Barry, Robin, and Maurice were all born in the UK, raised in Australia, then went to England in '67 to pursue their careers. They began having US hits shortly after.
I’m embarrassed to say that I had no idea The Bee Gees had a pre-disco catalog until their greatest hits came out in 1979. I loved their disco stuff, but the songs sing by Robin quickly became favorites.
I remember this song so well. It came out just at a critical time in my life when I was living 1500 miles from my fiancee and we only had words on the phone or in letters to talk about our feelings. This is what Robin had to say about 'Words" 'Words' reflects a mood, It was written after an argument. Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been arguing with someone, and happened to be in the same mood. [The arguments were] about absolutely nothing. They were just words. That is what the song is all about; words can make you happy or words can make you sad.
I think most people who lived through both the pre- and post- disco era prefer the 60’s Bee Gees. Don’t get me wrong. They definitely had some 70s, 80’s, 90’s, and beyond bangers, but the 60‘s era was so heartfelt, and it was such a wonderful time. I believe it was the best decade for music. I especially loved it when Robin sang lead. His voice was so beautiful, it seemed to draw out every emotion I had whenever he would sing. When I hear these same songs today, those same emotions rise up to the top again, even though it has been almost 60 years since I first heard them.. My favorite Bee Gee song is, I Can’t See Nobody. Love you Ro, Mo, and Ba.
Old school Bee Gees. Pre-disco Bee Gees is different, Amber is right. Their sound evolved and while their disco sound was a huge success, their earlier stuff was excellent.
Other early Bee Gees to check out if you haven’t: I’ve Gotta Get a Message To You, To Love Somebody, I Can’t See Nobody, Lonely Days, Run To Me, First Of May, Don’t Want To Live Inside Myself
I love this era of the Bee Gees and it was my first introduction to them! "I Started Joke" "To Love Somebody" and of course... "The Spick & the Specks!"
This song gives me chills. Thank you for reviewing it. The Gibb brothers were amazing creative geniuses. They wrote and composed beautiful songs and their non-falsetto voices were gorgeous. The way Barry modulates from intimacy to a powerful crescendo is flawless. His control over vibrato and sustain is impressive. The was a baroque renaissance that occurred in the United Kingdom in the late sixties. This song is a perfect example. The Rolling Stones did similar with Ruby Tuesday. Another group called “The Love Affair followed suit with “A Day Without Love.” There is some irony with “Words” however. While The Bee Gees were reveling in 1977 with their disco hits, Rita Coolidge (known as The Delta Lady) covered “Words” and it became a hit. Her version is a blend of Southern Soul, country, and blues. It is an absolute masterpiece. Rita was married to Kris Kristofferson; they were considered to be musical royalty. This really shows one how much the work of the Gibb brothers is truly respected in the music industry.
I dont know if ya’ll have done the duet with the Bee-Gees and Celine Definetly do that, what are you waiting for. And while your at it, how bout Celine Dion’s “Ashes” its my favorite song of hers. Make sure to watch the official video, its from the Deadpool 2 soundtrack and he’s got a cameo at the end thats hilarious
It DOES sound like the Bee Gees! How can you mistake that voice for anyone else? I don't care what tempo the song is in. It was songs like this one that led them into the disco era. I will always love the pre-disco Bee Gees.
Actually…. Whenever someone that grew up with BeeGees these are the voices/we associate them with and the rest is the cherry on top😏 please next ‘I started a joke’
This is how we knew and loved them from 1966 to 1975 before their second wave of fame.
Absolutely agree. My favorite era but I do like any disco❤❤

Yes! Especially the original 1967 video.
To love somebody is a must and how do you mend a broken heart
No, Jay. THIS sounds like the BeeGees.
Thank you @Denkar11. Jay is forever smug, at the top of his jock head voice, in his cluelessness.
Pre-disco Bee Gees are my favorite!
@@meyerhavethat's not fair or called for. Jay gives honest and sincere opinions. I love both their input.

The advent of disco sent me back to my country roots. I LOVED the pre-disco Bee Gees
@@rogerwilliams5382 hope you heard the Bee Gees late 80's and 90's too
Both MUST HEAR Classics,, The Bee Gees
"I Gotta Get A Message To You" & "I Started A Joke" 🔥❤️🔥
What about "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Tell You"? Psychaedelic Bee Gees.
Good choices, and First of May.
@@SKOOKM My parents had 3 songs dad sang to her. Words was one, Run to Me and Suite: Judy Blue eyes. He had a fabulous voice. Married 50 years.

Yes! Robin has a great voice too!
Yes!!!
Mr Natural and I Can’t See Nobody are better songs that feature Robin. Not sure why Robin fans are always pleading for I Started a Joke.
Ngl I feel like the only reason they haven’t done this yet is because it’s not Barry

Add Children of the World…brilliant song.
I love Lonely Days
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is really nice.
Actually it started back in 1963 when they released their first 45 in Australia before they left in 1967 to try their luck overseas.
Don't forget Kraise Finton Kirk !...
Pre-disco Bee Gees are the best Bee Gees.
TOTALLY AGREE!
followed by post disco
“I Started a Joke”!! Robin’s solo!!
I love Robin so much.
@@PSBFAN1991-I understand because I love that tall glass of water Barry 🥰🥰
Robins voice was amazing x
This is the sound that made them famous. Many of us like them IN SPITE OF the disco phase.
So true.
Yes, I wasn't a Disco fan...
I love them any phase and era, they are so, so, special!
@@garyneilson3075 I totally agree!🎧🎸
When The Bee Gees hit América they were instant hits. The first song I remember was “ New York Mining Disaster 1941”
Absolutely a great one
Yes, agree!
Now that's a sad song.
Yeah! 1960s BeeGees!!! Barry would sing this to Linda at every concert!!! dozens of other artists did a cover of this. Even Elvis
Especially ELVIS
This song…I like the Elvis version better.
@@jlsage4059 I "hate" Elvis`version, but taste is different!
@@jlsage4059 yessir. Keep letting them know, maybe they'll react to it soon
Early Bee Gees were great.”I started a joke” is great from this time.Robin singing.
“To love somebody” oh my God one of the best!!!
Yes! The original video from 1967.
Yes please!♥️
60's Bee Gees. Now you're cooking!
"Lonely Days" is one of my favorite Bee Gees song
"Words" is a timeless love song and in my top 5 of Bee Gees favorite songs!
There are so many great early BeeGees songs-
- New York Mining Disaster 1941 (Robin's haunting voice as a miner talking to fellow miners trapped beneath the earth)
- I Started a Joke (anothet deeply touching song by Robin)
- Run to Me
-To Love Somebody
-Be Tender With My Love

You hear this song and then remember that he's been married and completely devoted and faithful to his wife for almost 55 years.
Barry's one of a kind!♥️
😂😂😂
For a group that first started playing in the ‘50s, their music still stands the test of time.
This is my favorite Bee Gee song. It's one of most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded.
It's amazing to see how their talents matured as they developed their song-writing skills over the years. Their Disco years put more layers on what was already a really good ear for melody and harmony with a balance of drama.
Barry used to sing this directly to his wife when they would do concerts, because she would almost always be in the audience.
A beautiful beautiful song. A personal favorite. Such a deep meaning. 😊❤

This song was HUGE in 1967 and 68. Great choice of a pre- disco BeeGees song! This is a beautiful love song.
I love the warm romantic sound of pre-disco BeeGees. There are lots of treasures in their early work. Barry's voice on this song is stunning!
One of their earliest songs before they were well known in the U.S. was "Spicks and Specks". Check it out, pretty good song.
The logical next step in your Bee Gees journey is "To Love Somebody". If y'all want to hear a standout vocal from Robin, y'all have to react to "I Started A Joke".

I saw them live in Sept. 71 when I was 18. Ohio State basketball arena. Center stage, 4th row. They had a small orchestra with them. The show was even better than I expected. Memorable for sure.
This is their BIGGEST HIT from the 1960's. They were a soft rock band then. Bread before Bread.
Much better than Bread.
This song is from 1967 Barry was just 20 that makes Robin and Morice 18
Barry always sings this to Linda in every concert. Gorgeous. The footage from the 1979 concert where he dedicates it to Linda and she's shown holding Stephen, their eldest, will melt your heart. Footage is from Spirits having Flown concert. Worth watching because they are at their prime.
That's my favourite performance of this song. Barry is just phenomenal...that high note at the end 👌😘

When we teens first hear this over the airwaves we were left in stunned silence, not knowing how to categorize this song, and yet were knew immediately that we were listening to something profoundly romantic.

Just to clarify, The Bee Gees were never a disco group. They just happened to have some of their songs in a movie partly about disco dancing.

Many great songs before and after that period- many of which are upbeat and have a groove. But their voices together in love songs is truly angelic.

Actually, that happened with Nights on Broadway, which predated SNF.
I've been begging for this one. Thank you! My favorite Bee Gees era!
One of the greatest ballads ever written.
In the Morning is a beautiful early Bee Gees song. Hits hard if you are a parent of young kids.
You get a snippet of the falsetto potential in his voice in this song. Beautiful song.
The Bee Gees had a career before disco. They were HOF before Saturday Night Fever. Now you know.
The live performances are the best, you have so many songs to choose from late 50s to 2000s. Incredible brothers that never disappoint. To love somebody live is a favourite of mine . Thankyou for reacting to this great group ❤

Another masterpiece from phenomenal song writers.
I’m embarrassed to say that I had no idea The Bee Gees had a pre-disco catalog until their greatest hits came out in 1979. I loved their disco stuff, but the songs sing by Robin quickly became favorites.
"Closer than close" with Maurice on lead- my favorite Bee Gees song, would love to see your reaction to that!
Run To Me, I Started A Joke, How Do You Mend A Broken Heart, Lonely Days are all great pre disco Bee Gees!
Yay! The no-disco Bee Gees! And this is a great one.
Speaking of songs called Words, you should do Words by The Monkees. Same title, different song.
More 60s era Bee Gees, yay! Please do I Started a Joke next. It features Robin on lead. It was his signature song and was played at his funeral.
Beautiful man beautiful song.

"I Started Joke"
"To Love Somebody"
and of course... "The Spick & the Specks!"
Way before Barry found out he could sing falsetto, which was first brought out in "Nights On Broadway"
To me, this is the Bee Gees at their best, but don’t get me wrong. I still love the disco bee Gees
Run To Me and First of May are also beautiful Bee Gee ballads
Listening and liking Bee Gees pre-disco. A favorite of my high school days.
Disco was another part of Bee Gees but their earlier music is absolutely beautiful. I grew up listening to them in all genres!!

Should have listened to the 1979 live version in concert. That was phenomenal.
Love so right.
Back at that age he's got the same voice as his little brother Andy Gibb
It DOES sound like the Bee Gees! How can you mistake that voice for anyone else? I don't care what tempo the song is in. It was songs like this one that led them into the disco era. I will always love the pre-disco Bee Gees.
Amen!!!!
Actually…. Whenever someone that grew up with BeeGees these are the voices/we associate them with and the rest is the cherry on top😏 please next ‘I started a joke’
