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
One comment mentioned that Barry is retired from touring according to Barry's eldest child, Stephen "Steve" Gibb who played guitar in his father's solo band. Barry just turned 77.
the first from 9 #1 Billboard Hits & immortal evergreens from Winter 1977 until Winter 1979, these three amazing brothers not dominate the charts there were the charts worldwide 🔥check Night Fever, More Than a Woman, Tragedy, Too Much Heaven, You Should be Dancing or Love You Inside out 💫 stellar classics
Looks like………. you were back in the time to the late 70’s in my Middle School’s years. I loved how for an instant you closed your beautiful eyes and dreamed about distant worlds. I feel like you missed those times when the music was so vivid. The love ❤️ was in the air Good reaction
More Bee Gees! Alone, To Love Somebody, One, Still Waters, Too Much Heaven, Nights On Broadway, Jive Talking, too many to list. Dive in, you wont regret it.❤
Actually the lights spinning at the beginning are police cars, going to the scene in Saturday Night Fever after one of the friends takes a tragic jump off a Brooklyn bridge. Tony Manero gets on a subway train to talk to his girl friend and this song plays.
The Bee Gees are icons. The only surviving member is Barry Gibb. He is the tall one with the beard. He is 80 years old now. Check out some of their stuff, Jive Talking, Night Fever, Stayin Alive, More Than a Woman, I Started a Joke and so many more. Barry Gibb has the most beautiful falsetto voice! Love your reaction!
Hey, Too Much Heaven needs to be the next one you do. After that, do Stayin’ Alive. When you do Stayin’ Alive, I bet you will realize you actually have heard them before & just didn’t realize it.
Please react to Stayin Alive. If you want to see them a decade earlier and a decade later, react to their hits TO LOVE SOMEBODY from 1967, and YOU WIN AGAIN from 1987. I think they still hold the record for having #1 in the most decades.
The story goes that their manager sent them a telegram while they were recording in France asking for 'the best love song you've ever written'. And this is what they came up with
Just subbed. I'm heard god these guys. Amazing harmonies and songwriting. Songwriters and R & B Hall if Fame. 100 top 10 hits though the years. First in Oz in 1966/7
Another wonderful reaction, sweetness. ❤ The group had some amazing in the 60s and then changed things up for the 70s and the Disco era. I wasn't a big fan of the latter, but their music rises above much of the rest of the material with that vibe. I know you're likely to like whatever you grab of theirs. 😊
Truly enjoy checking out you reactions. Here is a suggestion that I am sure that you and your listeners will enjoy. The Bee Gees "I Surrender" The Promotional Video version.
I Love your Bee Gee reactions I’m not sure if you’ve reacted to any of these, but here’s a list: More songs to react to by The Bee Gees: Too Much Heaven You Should Be Dancing Fanny be tender with my love Jive Talking Nights on Broadway Tragedy More than a woman Love you inside out To love somebody Massachusetts Alone Lonely Days You Win Again Run to Me How Can you mend a broken heart The 1989 One for all tour medley (excellent vocals & some humor) Some that only the avid Bee Gee fans might know that you might want to react to: My Lover’s Prayer Letting Go Subway You Stepped Into My life Children of the World Search, Find Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb): If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman) Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs. Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals. Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. More Than a Woman (Tavares) Love Me (Yvonne Elliman) Come on Over (Olivia Newton John) Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it. Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli) Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer) Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb A lot of Andy Gibb songs (Shadow Dancing, Everlasting Love, Love is Thicker than Water, Our Love, Don't Throw It Away; Desire;)
🎼✅Weren't they amazing? Imo it would be great if you plundered their catalog of incredible songs. At least to listen to if not react to. I'll write a backgrounder to whet your appetite, full of song titles you should consider reacting to, all great, and most of them topping the US Billboard chart. My guess is you'll have heard many of them before, but so what if you don't recall them from their titles? You can just drop into a reaction, and if you start with "Oh, I remember this!" then you can unearth your associated memories and go with the flow. 👍 They were brothers -- the name is from BGs, short for "Brothers Gibb". They wrote all their original songs, with Barry in particular being one of the most prolific musical composition geniuses in his day. He's the only one still alive, the one who harmonized in falsetto, the good looking one who, I saw, got your attention, as he did for anyone with an eye for physical beauty! The Bee Gees had two very distinct periods of success. The first was a run of hits in the late 1960s and early 70s. Then, a decade later, they had an absolutely ridiculous period during which they utterly dominated the world's music scene by being the central act anchoring the peak (77/78) of the disco craze (75-79). All the songs I will mention below are from that latter period. Quoting excerpts from Wikipedia: > During a _nine-month period beginning in the Christmas season of 1977, *seven songs* written by the brothers *held the No. 1 position* on the US charts for *27 of 37 consecutive weeks* _ : three of their own releases, two for brother Andy Gibb, the Yvonne Elliman single, and "Grease" [the legendary film], performed by Frankie Valli. > "Saturday Night Fever" is among music's top five best selling soundtrack albums. _As of 2010, it is calculated as the *fourth highest-selling album worldwide.* _ > In _March 1978, the Bee Gees held the *top two* positions on the US charts with "Night Fever" and "Stayin' Alive", the *first time this had happened since the Beatles* . _ > On the _US Billboard Hot 100 chart for _25 March 1978, *five songs* written by the Gibbs were *in the US top 10 at the same time* : "Night Fever", "Stayin' Alive", "If I Can't Have You", "Emotion" and "Love Is Thicker Than Water". _ > Such chart dominance had not been seen since April 1964, when the Beatles had all five of the top five American singles. *Barry Gibb became the only songwriter to have four consecutive number-one hits in the US* , breaking the John Lennon and Paul McCartney 1964 record. These songs were "Stayin' Alive", "Love Is Thicker Than Water", "Night Fever" and "If I Can't Have You". > The Bee Gees won five Grammy Awards for Saturday Night Fever over two years: Album of the Year, Producer of the Year (with Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson), two awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals (one in 1978 for "How Deep Is Your Love" and one in 1979 for "Stayin' Alive"), and Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices for "Stayin' Alive". > During this era, Barry and Robin also wrote "Emotion" for an old friend, Australian vocalist Samantha Sang, who made it a top 10 hit, with the Bee Gees singing backing vocals. Barry also wrote the title song to the film version of the Broadway musical Grease for Frankie Valli to perform, which went to No. 1. > The Bee Gees' follow-up to Saturday Night Fever was the Spirits Having Flown album. It yielded three more hits: "Too Much Heaven" (US No. 1, UK No. 3), "Tragedy" (US No. 1, UK No. 1), and "Love You Inside Out" (US No. 1, UK No. 13). _This gave the act *six consecutive No. 1 singles in the US within a year and a half* , equalling the Beatles and surpassed only by Whitney Houston. _ > The Bee Gees even had a country hit in 1979 with "Rest Your Love on Me", the flip side of their pop hit "Too Much Heaven", which made the top 40 on the country charts. It was also a 1981 hit for Conway Twitty, topping the country music charts. > The Bee Gees' overwhelming success rose and fell with the disco bubble. By the end of 1979, disco was rapidly declining in popularity, and the backlash against disco put the Bee Gees' American career in a tailspin. ... Following their remarkable run from 1975 to 1979, the act had only one more top 10 single in the US, and that did not come until the single "One" reached number 7 in 1989. > Barry Gibb considered the success of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack both a blessing and a curse [he said]: > Fever was No. 1 every week ... It wasn't just like a hit album. It was No. 1 every single week for 25 weeks. It was just an amazing, crazy, extraordinary time. I remember not being able to answer the phone, and I remember people climbing over my walls. I was quite grateful when it stopped. It was too unreal. In the long run, your life is better if it's not like that on a constant basis. Nice though it was. Peace and love from the UK 🕊💖
This was written a year after their breakup!!! Every word explains how they felt about the erterference of scumbags trying to corner the market of each of these most talented men!!! It was an attempt by satan to tear down their moral compass!!! Well, he didn't prevail! These guys, BEEGEES did not go to the dark side & stood with their GODLY BELIEFS!!! THANK YOU GUY'S Y'ALL ARE THE BEST EVER! GOOD BLESSED FOR SURE !!!

👏👌👌
😝😝🤘🤘

The Bee Gees had two very distinct periods of success. The first was a run of hits in the late 1960s and early 70s. Then, a decade later, they had an absolutely ridiculous period during which they utterly dominated the world's music scene by being the central act anchoring the peak (77/78) of the disco craze (75-79). All the songs I will mention below are from that latter period.
Quoting excerpts from Wikipedia:
> During a _nine-month period beginning in the Christmas season of 1977, *seven songs* written by the brothers *held the No. 1 position* on the US charts for *27 of 37 consecutive weeks* _ : three of their own releases, two for brother Andy Gibb, the Yvonne Elliman single, and "Grease" [the legendary film], performed by Frankie Valli.
> "Saturday Night Fever" is among music's top five best selling soundtrack albums. _As of 2010, it is calculated as the *fourth highest-selling album worldwide.* _
> In _March 1978, the Bee Gees held the *top two* positions on the US charts with "Night Fever" and "Stayin' Alive", the *first time this had happened since the Beatles* . _
> On the _US Billboard Hot 100 chart for _25 March 1978, *five songs* written by the Gibbs were *in the US top 10 at the same time* : "Night Fever", "Stayin' Alive", "If I Can't Have You", "Emotion" and "Love Is Thicker Than Water". _
> Such chart dominance had not been seen since April 1964, when the Beatles had all five of the top five American singles. *Barry Gibb became the only songwriter to have four consecutive number-one hits in the US* , breaking the John Lennon and Paul McCartney 1964 record. These songs were "Stayin' Alive", "Love Is Thicker Than Water", "Night Fever" and "If I Can't Have You".
> The Bee Gees won five Grammy Awards for Saturday Night Fever over two years: Album of the Year, Producer of the Year (with Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson), two awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals (one in 1978 for "How Deep Is Your Love" and one in 1979 for "Stayin' Alive"), and Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices for "Stayin' Alive".
> During this era, Barry and Robin also wrote "Emotion" for an old friend, Australian vocalist Samantha Sang, who made it a top 10 hit, with the Bee Gees singing backing vocals. Barry also wrote the title song to the film version of the Broadway musical Grease for Frankie Valli to perform, which went to No. 1.
> The Bee Gees' follow-up to Saturday Night Fever was the Spirits Having Flown album. It yielded three more hits: "Too Much Heaven" (US No. 1, UK No. 3), "Tragedy" (US No. 1, UK No. 1), and "Love You Inside Out" (US No. 1, UK No. 13). _This gave the act *six consecutive No. 1 singles in the US within a year and a half* , equalling the Beatles and surpassed only by Whitney Houston. _

Following their remarkable run from 1975 to 1979, the act had only one more top 10 single in the US, and that did not come until the single "One" reached number 7 in 1989.
> Barry Gibb considered the success of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack both a blessing and a curse [he said]:
> Fever was No. 1 every week ... It wasn't just like a hit album. It was No. 1 every single week for 25 weeks. It was just an amazing, crazy, extraordinary time. I remember not being able to answer the phone, and I remember people climbing over my walls. I was quite grateful when it stopped. It was too unreal. In the long run, your life is better if it's not like that on a constant basis. Nice though it was.
Peace and love from the UK 🕊💖

This was written a year after their breakup!!! Every word explains how they felt about the erterference of scumbags trying to corner the market of each of these most talented men!!! It was an attempt by satan to tear down their moral compass!!! Well, he didn't prevail! These guys, BEEGEES did not go to the dark side & stood with their GODLY BELIEFS!!! THANK YOU GUY'S Y'ALL ARE THE BEST EVER! GOOD BLESSED FOR SURE !!!
