IMO this era of Bee Gees is far superior to the disco era. They had some beautiful songs. 3 very talented men.
Agreed!
I agree. The early Bee Gees were great.
It's like Gwen Stefani singing "Don't Speak", then making more money singing "Hollaback Girl".
The Bee Gees have been making great songs since the mid 60s. In terms of consistency of quality song writing, including Disco, they are in the top tier.
Yes. "I Can't See Nobody" should be next.
"I've Gotta Get A Message To You" is an absolute banger.
Still my favorite of theirs even with all their many hits.
Spectacular song. Every bit as good as this one.
"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" should be next. I believe it came out in '71 or '72, right in between their "60s" stuff and their disco era. And it's my favorite BeeGees song!
Yes! It was their answer to the 17-18 months they were broken up...
I agree that's my favorite Bee Gee's song as well.
Agree 100%....my fav BG song as well!❤
I like Run to Me as well. This era was top notch for the BeeGees
Agreed. Al Green's take on it is also a banger.
Guys, you're gonna love "Lonely Days" by the Bee Gees. It was also released in 1970 in between their '60s and late '70s eras.
“Lonely Days” sounds so much like the Beatles that I bet Yoko was pissed she wasn’t in the studio when it was recorded. 😂
Yes, great song!
Yup! How did they get from Massachusetts to Jive Talkin'? Lonely Days is the missing link.
Yes. Their strongly Beatles song.
👍🏼
This is the Bee Gees era that gave us the song "Words" which is absolutely beautiful.
One of their best!
One of my all-time favorites!🥰
One of my all time favorites
This song written by Bee Gees for Otis Redding to sing, but he died before he could record it, so The Bee Gees did it themselves.
@@hoodlifter23 They actually recorded it and released it before he died.
The vocals on "Too Much Heaven" will blow your minds!
You MUST do Too Much Heaven - insane harmonies
@@actuariallurker9650 agree it should be the next song
“Too much heaven” gave me goosebumps on top of goosebumps! Please react to it
Barry’s favorite song
With the video!
As I always say, the Bee Gees were already legendary long before Saturday Night Fever.
I'll second the call for "Lonely Days."
You can't beat their sibling vocal harmonies. They were relevant in every generation they sang....and were great at it.
The BGs music before disco was soo impressive. Run to Me is one of my favorites and Robin on lead vocals is amazing.
On Run to Me, Barry's on first lead & Robin on second.
One of my first "45s" .. on the yellow and white Atco label.
Agreed, Run To Me is also a huge favorite!
It was ALWAYS impressive.
Hey guys, huge Bee Gees fan great reaction. The reason it sounds like an R&B/Stevie Wonder song is that they were asked to write a song for Otis Redding who was going to come through London. The story Barry tells is his manager basically locked him in a hotel room and asked him to write something. He says it basically took a day to write it. Of course Otis tragically passed and never got to record it, so they did and it’s kind of become a standard.
Can you imagine what his version would have sounded like? Damn. What a shame.
Actually, Barry was in NYC with their manager, Robert Stigwood, to see Otis Redding perform. Stigwood later told Barry he wanted him to write Otis a song. Stigwood said he & Otis were going to dinner, & asked Barry to have it done by the time they returned to The Plaza. Within a few hours time, Barry wrote To Love Somebody.🎼
The single reached Number 17 in US pop charts, but only Number 41 in the UK. British audiences favored more pop sounding songs, rather than this soul influenced masterpiece.
Although sad that Otis never got a chance to record this one, there are some other great soulful versions that echo what Otis' version might have sounded like -- check out covers by James Carr, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, and the Sweet Inspirations.
The greatest Otis Redding song that he never performed! As amazing as this version is, imagine how great it would have sounded from Otis. I hear it in my head whenever I listen to this.
“Lonely Days” and “How Do You Mend A broken Heart” are Bee Gee’s pre-disco classics. Two more songs you can actually feel.
"Words" is a great early Bee Gees tune.
Next needs to be Fanny be tender with my Love
This was always their mother, Barbara Gibb's favorite of her sons' songs.
They actually wrote this for Otis Redding who died before he could record it. Eric Burdon & The Animals do an incredible version of this.
The BeeGees were assured legends even if the disco era and beyond never happened.
My mom's favorite band. I miss her and the Bee Gees always makes me think of her.❤
Sorry for your loss ❤️
I've always liked pre-disco Bee Gees to the later music for the most part.
I don’t know if you’ve listened to it yet, but if you haven’t, their song, Massachusetts is really good. It’s from this same era.
Yes. And _How Can You Mend..._
_Lonely Days_ was written the same day as _Mend._
Yes, Massachusetts - the best feature of Robin
Oh yes Massachusetts my God
My fav. Bee Gees were the first concert I ever saw. I still love their music 50+ years later. ❤
HAIKU-
“ The New York Mining Disaster” is the most folky melancholic thing they ever did.
Best song, written in about 15 minutes while waiting for their recording session. Classic
There aren’t many songs that have been covered more than this one. Classic. Masterpiece.
Love the Janis Joplin cover!
I love Jimmy Somerville's cover
These cats are just simply among the greatest songwriters of all time. Period.
Love the 1960’s and early 70’s Bee Gees! This song was written for Otis Redding but he was killed in the plane crash before he could record it.
I've always wished we could have heard Otis sing this. 💙
Yes, written by Barry / BeeGees for Otis.
The voices of three angels singing together. Such a beautiful song.
Do you know what angels are supposed to look like? Monsters, that's what.
One of the best early Bee Gees. Words is the best in my opinion.
Love every performance of Barry singing Words!🎶
"To Love Somebody" gets my vote for their best song. Andy and Alex would love the video from 1967.
Goosebumps still after more thatn 50 years of listening. My favorite Bee Gees song. I bought this single when I was tween and played it on my little record player - over and over and over...
Drove my family crazy
😵💫
The best bee gees song in terms of pure quality is "Fanny be tender with my love", you will be blown away.
Lonely Days should be next, Amazing song.
Words and Night Fever are my top 2 Beegees
I miss my Dad when I hear this song. Enjoy your weekend Boys! Give your Dad a call everyone! L💞ve from Canada.
"How Deep Is Your Love" (My favorite Bee Gees song)
"Nights on Broadway" and "Lonely Days" are great too. If you ever venture into their disco era, you gotta check out "You Should Be Dancing".🔥
Barry's singing is fantastic in this song. I love the Bee Gees older songs. I only heard them in the last few years. They are so much more than disco! I wish I had known sooner!
I think it was Maurice or Robin not Barry
@@irishgrl I think Barry is the lead. I've seen the performance on YT at the Beat Club. I know if it a mime, but I presume that they are recreating the original set up. The brothers are singing along with Barry.
@@marysweeney7370 Barry is the lead but not on this song. In fact Robin sang lead on a few of their hits, such as I started a joke & Massachusetts
@@irishgrlBarry's definitely the lead on To Love Somebody. Perhaps watch their performances from 1967, as no one looks or sounds like Barry!🎶
@@kthor I was going of memory of performances I saw on tv or documentaries, but perhaps I misremembered.
MONSTER hit during my high school years. Radio stations played the hell out of it.
When people say "Gorgeous Vocals" about a song, this is what they need to compare it to because OMG the beauty of their vocals in this song is incredible.
I love the way the Bee Gees give a man's perspective and thoughts. They give men a voice and say things maybe a man would find it difficult to say. They explain that really well in the song Wind of Change.
Toby Keith really hits on this in the song Me Too. Great songs.
I'm not a huge Keith Urban fan but he did this song as a tribute to the Bee Gees, in front of Barry, as Robin & Maurice had already passed and it was fkn awesome!! His guitar playing was amazing❤
"Run To Me" will blow you away. This is my favorite Bee Gees period and I have lived through the 60's and 70's Bee Gees.
Too Much Heaven is out of this world.
It's an S, boys.
Absolutely S tier.
Love You Inside N Out
( backwards and forwards with my heart hangin’ out.)
Some of my favorite Bee Gees songs are from before their disco era. "To Love Somebody" is definitely one of them. Others include, "Really and Sincerely", "Fanny (Be Tender...)", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Massachusetts", "Run to Me"...good grief, this list could go on and on!
That "Bee Gees 1st" album is great: this song, "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You," "In My Own Time." Great record.
My first college roommate had this album and listened to it often. This was 1989, a decade after disco, and a time when it definitely wasn't popular to listen to the Bee Gees. He would put this on, watch people enjoy it, and see their faces when they began to realize it was the Bee Gees. Good memories.
Bee Gees are one of the finest examples of "Blood Harmony". Lots of singers can harmonize well with each other...but there's something special that happens when family members do it. (Carter Family, Jacksons, Everly Bros., Staple Singers...etc.)
"Holiday" from the Bee Gees' first album may be the best cut of all.
I do love that one too!
Pre-disco Bee Gees are my favourite Bee Gees. BTW strongly suggest “Run to me”.
I forgot about Run To Me.
My favourite
Words , 1941 Mining Disaster , Lonely Days ... all good stuff
Bee Gees - Massachusetts (live 1989).
The Bee Gees were simply amazing. Incredible voices and such talented songwriters. Saw them in concert here in Australia. 🇦🇺
Dudes were so good great harmony’s unreal
I love the melody and the words are precious.
Wow......50+ years ago I remember slow-dancing to this!
This one pulls tears every time I hear it - the minor note harmonies just hit the right spot. My favourite BeeGees song. Period.
One of my favorite Bee Gees tunes is actually from the 1990's called "Alone".
I was lucky enough to see them twice in concert. The first time I saw them their career was on a bit of a lull after many pop hits in the 60s. It was around 71 that I first saw them and although they had a string of hits earlier, they hadn’t been on the charts for awhile. And they played a beautiful venue in Calgary called the Jubilee Auditorium. But the Jubilee was a smaller venue of 2400.
The second time I saw them was at an arena, and it was just after their second ascension on the back of Jive Talking and Staying Alive, which was a monster.
Both concerts were fantastic. Live they were phenomenal.
This for me is their most beautiful and haunting song. It still gives me chills.
The French Horns, the Harp! Violins, Cello!! Just beautiful, majestic, soaring.
"Too Much Heaven" is absolutely INCREDIBLE. It's a must to react to. They have so many hits. Excellent reaction.
the bee gees kept on reinventing themselves as the world progressed. Early Bee Gees is amazing featuring Robin in masterfule ballads. Do Words next.
Guys gotta do Lonely Days next
Barry 's natural chest vocals was amazing with Maurice 's amazing falsetto was my beloved first version of 'To Love Somebody '🎉😊❤
There is a whole section on TH-cam where people have taken the music out and it sounds like they’re singing a cappella. This is one, Stayin Alive is another and they are just amazing.
The magic of the Bee Gees was that they were three brothers, that tightness, resulted in gorgeously textured harmonies.
Finally! My favorite Bee Gees song ❤️ It’s phenomenal.
First of May is a beautiful song by the BeeGees
Masterpiece of a song. Amazing expression of a deep and universal feeling.
Amazing for so early in their career and I think amazing for it’s time. And it stands up today.
A??
No.
Gorgeous song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your reaction.
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
Technically this was not their first album. But it was their first one internationally. They previously released a couple of albums in their native Australia only.
Bee Gees contributed to so much AM radio candy; iconic material. Thanks for this. Senior from Toronto
I absolutely love this song. People will record this forever. I think the most mind boggling thing about this song is that it only reached number seventeen on the Billboard pop charts. That says a lot about the greatness of the era.
You Win Again and Fanny (be tender with my heart) should be the next Bee Gees song please and thank you ❤
How did I miss this? One of my favorite Bee Gees songs.
The first song i ever heard from the Bee Gees was something like “New York Mining Disaster”, I’m 73 now n I think i would have about 15yo then.
I remember the first line, “In the event of something happening to me, theres something i would like you all to see”, heck they would’ve been kids themselves then.
Just love you guys, n Been following you now since your Day Dot.
Great song!
Have you guys done baby brother Bee Gee yet? Andy Gibb (swoon) all of the tweens crushes in the 70’s. I Just want To Be Your Everything, Shadow Dancing…
He left this mortal coil too soon or he would’ve blown up to be as big or bigger than his older brothers who really supported him so much.
I've read that Andy was getting set to join the Bee Gees, but he died before it could happen.
Those early years were amazing with that special familial harmonizing!
For those of us who were teens in the 60's, this is how we were introduced to the Bee Gees. The disco era, when they really blew up in popularity and fame, was completely different. I don't know that I'd call it "progression", more like just a big change! I never was big into disco. But there's no accounting for taste, as the old saying goes. Anyways, thanks for reacting to this. God bless you!
I believe they were songwriting this one for Otis Redding, who passed away in a airplane crash in Madison Wisconsin. So they recorded it and it Became their first big hit.
Love the early BeeGees more than the disco BeeGees.
I like a fair amount of their 70s stuff, but I still like the early stuff over the Disco stuff and I really like this particular song probably more than any other Bee Gees song, along with Nights and Stayin' Alive.
Just the vast amount of songs they wrote...so many great songs.
I am absolutely obsessed with the Bee Gees. I think their best music was before the 70s. This is one of their absolute best in my opinion.❤
I enjoyed their "disco" era, but before and after are my go-to's.
Dudes - BeeGee's have albums from when they were kids in the 60's!
They also had a hit in the 90’s. To Whom The Bell Tolls. Beautiful Song
hope you guys watch
Muscle Shoals. splendid documentary on 60s and 70s music
Love watching your channel. You always play the whole songs......and loud Man! You make this 67 year old smile!
Review ANY bee gees track and I'll be happy, all stunning!
Lonely days ..my favorite song by them
I like this era of Bee Gees much more than the disco era. Such good stuff 🌺✌️
It's a huge rabbit hole.
The single most underrated (later) Bee Gees song has got to be "Love You Inside Out."
The harmonies. The progression. The transitions.
Ultimate ear candy.
I love old Bee Gees. So funny, whei met my metal head husband i learned that he loved them. One more reason to dig the man.
Really, everything the did was awesome. Nothing like them
My favorite Bee Gees song!
The 60s were by far the best era for The Bee Gees. Every song was a major Banger. My favorite is I Can’t See Nobody, where Robin sings lead.
Love that early Bee Gees. Normal songs on AM radio back in the day. Top 40 countdown, etc.
Fanny Be Tender With My Heart- very soulful
Please react to Andy Gibb on Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. It's the Bee Gees younger brother.
Also, Michael Jackson and Barry Gibb, All In Your Name. Great songs.
Great suggestions!
They were actually a band, too - that’s Maurice playing the excellent bass line.
Robin is singing lead on this one as he did often in the 60s. The talent in these guy was so immense, it was unreal, all three were lead singers who took turns.
This is one of Barry's famous leads.🎼
