The twins were super talented. The fact that they could all sing 3 part harmony at such an early age with out being taught screams talent. Robin was born to perform.
Aren’t they adorable? The talent was there all along.
If you haven't seen it, "Wine and Women" is a transition where the twins got their big boy voices. The video of "Spicks and Specks" also shows their humour. In their bio one of their promoters said Robin used to be such an extrovert that he actually scared people. As a teen he was very self conscious about his looks and even said he knew he was "ugly" but had a "characterful face and tried to look nice". Barry was always promoted as the good looking one, and he was at that age, but I saw a magazine at the time that called Robin a "gopher"! Hurtful. The Hither Green train wreck at 17 also left him scarred. He had to witness deaths and on the spot amputations and narrowly missed death himself when a train rail missed his head by inches. Barry said he was a hilarious kid but the train wreck brought out the pathos in him. Regardless, he still had a wicked wit. Robin said himself that the incident never left him.
🎉🎉I can only imagine. Extremely traumatic experiences stay with us and often present PTSD throughout life.
Thank you, Harri! I'm so glad someone finally reacted to the young Brothers Gibb to get a glimpse of how talented they've always been. Robin was definitely funny and demonstrative when he was young. I don't think as he got older he became more shy. My understanding is that he was at odds with Barry over control of the music. Robin became more serious. Barry was just Barry. And Maurice became the 'go between' and the funny Bee Gee. Regardless, the talents of all 3 of them just became better and better. Loved your reaction to this video!
Robin was an absolute riot in interviews though even as he aged. He was more serious on stage for sure.
When Robin was in his teens he was in a terrible train wreck along with his girlfriend and many people died, he said he tried helping some. I think it changed his life probably PTSD he said it effected him for many years. Just a thought... I love the Bee Gees they are my favorite group. Thanks Hari
Yes, they knew!! Their story is one of the most fascinating and inspirational I’ve ever heard. Their father played instruments and their mother sang. The boys were surrounded by music. Their mother said you could hardly get Barry to speak, but he always had a song for anyone who asked. Their father couldn’t pay the rent, but managed to bring a tv home, and neighbors said Barry was glued to it. The first time he saw someone (probably Tommy Steele) sing on tv, he pointed and said that was what he was going to do.He seemed to have an international vision, because he knew about American singers, so why couldn’t people in other countries know him? He was 8 and the twins were 5. Maurice said Barry told them he was going to be a pop star, and he asked if they could be pop stars, too. Barry said yes, and he was the big brother and knew everything, so they really believed him. They started working to make it happen. Barry’s gifted ear must have known he could sing as well as singers on records and radio, and then the twins had that natural ability to harmonize, but the passion and work ethic was equally important, as was having supportive parents who even let you drop out of school at 13 or 14, so seasoned pros ready to tackle London and the world by 1967 when signed to NEMS. A girl said she broke up with 14yo Barry, and he told her she’d be sorry, because he was going to be famous. He was asked about whether he really believed it, and he said yes. His song for Celine Dion IMMORTALITY describes his passion and dream. “I will make them all remember me” through the music left behind. Yes, Robin is fascinating to watch. He clearly believed in himself as an entertainer, but was known to be an extreme introvert. They are absolutely fascinating! Please react to them singing Bob Dylan’s song BLOWIN IN THE WIND, with Maurice’s gift of harmony at its best.
robin was quite a character at that age. he was definitely comfortable in front of the camera with his mugging and all. it's pretty amazing how they had 3 stages to their career,and each one just increased their fame. much like the beatles with their mop tops,psychedelic,and rebellious eras.
I think Robin changed after he got in the train accident in England when the train derailed. There were a good number hurt and some killed. He and his girlfriend (later wife) climbed out a window with minor injuries. His dad and Barry got him from the hospital, he had a concussion, but he told them about seeing the bodies and trying to help the injured until help started arriving. And then he just tried to comfort and care for his girlfriend.
What's amazing is that they were just born with that talent and thank goodness they were in an environment that encouraged them to pursue it. I've read that they never learned to read music. They did everything by ear.
Thank you so much for a great reaction 🥰🥰🥰 I always loved the Bee Gees from Massachusetts to Staying Alive and everything in between. Have seen a lot of documentaries and concerts on TH-cam, they are always such a great act 💯❤❤👍
Thank you for all the sweet comments 😇😍🤩😊
Very nice, I didn't realize it was your name he said. I know Harri said it the way you mentioned but it threw
me off. 😏
Robin was always the jokester when they were kids! Their father told them to always do something unexpected and to smile. They always wanted to be singers and famous.
Yes Maurice was a shy kid and how joyful act and high vibrato of young Robin could be seen....😅😊❤
Perfect way to end my day. Can't help smiling with the young brothers.
Adorable!
Their parents had been in a band in their younger days, Barry used to skip school to listen to his mum sing as she did housework. While they were kids, mum heard them singing in their room and was confused, she thought it was the radio. Still, as masters of their craft when Barry was 21, they couldn't read music, had no lessons, hence they learned about falsetto when recording Nights on Broadway. Barry became lead then, because he could sustain his falsetto longer. They have a sister, as well as Andy. She can fill in when one is not there, but didn't want fame.
Good choice, Harri! Clear to see, this band of brothers had no chance to do anything else as gettin' famous and conquere the world. 1100 songs, for themselves and many others. Inducted to all halls of fame, Nr. 1 and top ten songs one after the other, Grammy's, platinum albums in a row, the song with the most airplays worldwide ('Staying Alive'), dominating again and again, comin' back again and again, always refreshing themselves. So what is missed? To give you excamples: Why didn't they win an Oscar in the year of 1977 (SNF)? Why were they banned from US Radiostations? Why, mostly musiccritizens wrote them down and joked about them? Why, the Rolling Stone magazine nowadays ranked them on place 95 in their list of 100 best songwriters ever? Ignorance and arrogance is still arround.
Oh! They were adorable. I was surprised by Robins stage presence too!. Great pick. Wonderful reaction Harri! This was so fun.
Aww, how sweet. I really enjoyed this. Great reaction. I agree that Robin stole the show, surprisingly.
Oh my goodness, look how young they are. They look exactly the same too. 🙂
awesome clip of young beegees, never have seen this. they are really great. I'm impressed. and yes, robin was quite theatrical here. really nice to see.
I agree. Wow! I’m surprisingly shocked by Robin.
I have seen this it's just amazing to watch them at this age and what they went on to become. 😍
Incredible!! Really a legend❤❤
Fantastic!
They were so cute and so amazingly talented at such a young age. Barry was the professional entertainer for sure. At their young age they were supporting their whole family.
You can already hear at that age how in sync they were with one another! Too cute!!
I was recently delving deeper into the brother Gibb.
I can see why the teen girl girls were totally going for Robin. He had those puppy dog eyes.
I knew a few people from Aus. older than me. The gals were split on Robin vs Barry.
I had seen this previously. I'm amazed by their great showmanship they've developed at such a young age. Their harmonies are just so beautiful in their youthfulness. A great treat.
"My Old Man's a Dustman" was my Grandpa's favourite song and we always sang it together.🤣🤣 Beautiful memory.
Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Agnete.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦ì
Bloody Fantastic.
These Boys have got potential. I hope they make it...
That was something very special. Never seen it before, so glad I have now, thank you Harri and whoever sent it your way. So sad for Barry though, that he lost all his three little brothers, this made it hit home in different way for some reason.
Thanks Harry....watched this a zillion times .....and it never gets old......it always amazes me how talented these guys were......
I’ve never heard 3 perfect voices singing together like the BeeGees. Find a video of them singing acapella.
Patty-I believe there us a clip where Robin and Maurice are 9 yrs and Barry is 12. The twins are so tiny and cute. The harmony was amazing considering how young the twins were.
Great reaction Harri. I love seeing famous artist at the beginning of their careers. I’m a huge Bee Gees fan but never heard that one. They already had the start of their great harmonies ❤️
I love seeing old video of people who became wildly famous later on and were filmed before anyone knew who they were. This is great stuff! Thanks to Arnette(?). Sorry if I got that wrong. But I love this. Great thanks from Harri 🌺✌️
If you watch the accompanying video to "ALONE" it flashes back to this and their Home videos on the beach and in later life,on and off the Stage.
They were all just so packed with talent. ❤❤❤❤
Cute performance, accents are full on and the songs reflect Australia. Forgot they started so early but I don't think got to see them in the US more until they got on the radio in the 60s. But they had the perfect blend back then and looked like they were having fun too. Of course being young men, the audience loves the smaller ones when they perform, think The Jackson Five.
Never knew this side of the Beegees Thanx.!!
Thank you for this. I loved it!
This is amazing.
I'm smiling at Robin he is something else
Hi, me encantó tu reacción, si bien los adoro desde mis 11 años con Melody, estos videos los conocí en pandemia... BARRY no era carismático en ese momento. podía ser el mas grande (3 años) pero no tenía la gracia de los TWINS, aparte del talento ..hay varias canciones más que cantaron en el mismo programa, tienes que verlas...YO QUEDO ABSOLUTAMENTE HIPNOTIZADA POR ROBIN ..NO PUEDO DEJAR DE MIRARLO ...SI PUDIERA LO HUBIERA PUESTO ENTRE DOS PANES Y ME LO HUBIERA COMIDO 😂...ES UNA DELICIA...CUANDO SE SECA LAS LAGRIMAS EN EL CHALECO DE MO...Y LA CARITA DE MO, X DIOS!!! CUANDO ESTOY TRISTE VEO ESTOS PROGRAMAS DE AUSTRALIA CON ELLOS, QUE LOS HAN COLOREADO...FUERON MI ANTIDEPRESIVO EN EL COVID...Y ME ACOMPAÑARON TODA LA VIDA...BARRY ES MI MENOS OREFERIDO PORQUE IMPUSO MUCHO SU EGO AL LADO DE LOS TWINS...MUY TALENTOSO, PERO TANTAS CANCIONES PUDIERON SER MEJORES SIN EL FALSETO EN VOZ PRINCIPAL... PORQUE TENIA MUY BUENA VIZ DE PECHO Y LOS TRES PODIAN HACER FALSETO ..LOS TRES...!!! ROBIN ES MI ANGEL PREFERIDO Y DESPUÉS MO, BIEN CERQUITA...SALVARON A SU FAMILIA...BUENOS HOMBRES, DIGNOS, CORRECTOS AUNQUE ERAN DEMONIOS DE CHIQUITOS 😂😂😂... GRACIAS POR TU REACCION, ES GENUINA...NADIE PUEDE RESISTIRSE A ESTAS BELLEZAS, MUCHO MENOS A ROBIN QUE SE COME LA PERFORMANCE CON SU GRACIA!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
My old men's a dustman was a hit Lonnie Donnegan song. ( The 2nd song here) Lonnie hit big with Rock Island Line Lonnie also sang Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost Overnight ? the big social relevance question of our age lol True. We used to sing all these in the school play yard
Love these early performances
Great stuff...!!!
This was really cool. IF you haven't played it yet. Could you play their song" Lonely Days" its amazing
There’s a video from 4years earlier than this when they were really little. Try Time is Passing By
Never knew they performed when they were that young!
Thank you 🙏🏼
They started when Barry was 9 and the twins were 6!
Can you believe such voices at 12 and 9 years of age
Hi Harri! I'm not sure if you know about the train wreck that Robin was in as a teen with his girlfriend. It was horrific and he had said it forever changed him. It's probably why in his later singing he seemed on the melancholy side.
I heard that explanation, too.
@@LizzieRD - He admitted to having stress (PTSD) for his entire life after that while previously Barry said he was hilarious but the wreck brought out the pathos in his composing. His humor was always still there but he was a dichotomy after that and you never knew who would show up on a given day.
@@susieq9801 interesting. Yes, heard or read that he had problems. One of the band members, think Blue Weaver, said he couldn't ever get close to Robin, but had no problems with the others.
@@LizzieRD - He was always sensitive by his own admission but did become very withdrawn and more of a loner. He had to witness on the spot amputations and he pulled out mangled victims both dead and alive. At 17 that had to be traumatic and back then nobody really even treated let alone recognized PTSD. He heard one young man about his age pleading to him not to let him die but he was trapped and the voice eventually disappeared. Robin himself missed being decapitated by a rail that missed his head by inches. Many of the dead were impaled on rails. He said the hospital was like a war zone. He held it together until in the car on the way home and then burst into tears. The day after the crash he was told to rest but wrote "Really and Sincerely". It can be taken as a love song but the lyric "Really and sincerely I tried" stands out to me. Also as a teen I recall the fan magazines mocking his appearance compared to his brothers. One called him a gopher. That had to hurt his self esteem.
.
I’m sure the crash had a huge effect on him but their mother said Robin was always more withdrawn and introspective than his brothers. He was always a compelling performer with a great stage presence but he got much more restrained in his movements on stage around the time SNF broke huge because he was basically forced to. He was often very exuberant (in an idiosyncratic way) on upbeat songs but was told it wasn’t the image the Bee Gees wanted to project. He was such a unique, refreshing figure it is too bad so much got beat out of him as far as performing was concerned.
Barry was 12 and the twins were 9 years old, yes Robin was the joker and Maurice was the timid one oh how they changed!
Robin was always burning crap with Barry's help. Maurice wanted no part of their shenanigans. Even the local police in England said it was a good idea for them to move to Australia.
Robin and Maurice were twins. Robin had my favourite voice and I loved him singing Massachusetts. Robin wasn’t as shy as Maurice, I don’t think Barry liked him having his own songs. You can tell Barry was more British than his brothers. Thank you.
Why would you say Barry didn't like "him" having his own songs🙄?
Not many teenagers, like Barry, would have sang with their little brothers, Barry always was a family man!!!
Robin retained more of the Mancunian accent and spent much of his time in the UK living in Thame for almost 30 years while Barry spent much more of his time in the US. Robin's kids are the ones have retained the UK accent.
This is when the Bee Gees are at their very best. Don't get me wrong because I love their big hits including their imperial disco phase but when it is just them singing with Barry's guitar accompaniment, it is beautiful!!! Robin was actually quite humorous within the group.
First time commenting on your channel, I think, but I am thrilled to pieces you're reacting to the young BeeGees! This one is fabulous. I enjoy a lot of their very early stuff like this, and think you might like "Take Hold of That Star" or "Sweets for My Sweet". Maybe it's not the done thing to suggest on here. If that is the case, I apologise. I do enjoy your reactions and appreciate the work you put in.
You said they sounded country well this was Reg Lindsays country hour they appeared on several occasions then mainly on Brian Henderson's Australian Bandstand we were watching this as small children ourselves in 1960's Australia
So nice. Barry was 14, the twins 9 years old. Their father taught them how to move on stage.
👌🤜👍
At the time this was made I believe 1963, Barry was about 16/17 and the twins would have been 14 years old but they don't look it.
Winnie Wallace.. Being someone who suffered with having Goofy teeth, I can understand his self-consciousness when he's older. Shame his parents didn't sort the problem out when he was younger. I've hated my teeth my entire life.wish I had a quid for every time they've cause me to feel embarrassed.
They almost sound like the Chipmunks. :)
Of course robin was big in the early 80s no one talks about his 80s,singles career
He was the only Bee Gee to have a solo #1 hit , "Juliet", written by him and Maurice and the only top 40 hit from Sergeant Pepper (the other by Earth wind and Fire).
and you’re right; Barry stole the show.
Very very sumular sound from Sargent peepers lonely heart clubs band. " the Beatles "
I meant Robin stole the show.
The first video from them is on 1960.they were singin a song Barry whrited "Time is passing by"th-cam.com/video/yNGsJZlvfro/w-d-xo.html
Another Lonnie song th-cam.com/video/x6bFTVi0hHs/w-d-xo.html My old man's a dustman song writer
I'm thinking that the two younger boys may have lived in or near Camp Lejeune at some point in their risible development.
Hardly.
Ummmm...I love, love, love the Bee Gees but this is just hokey and awful. This kind of act used to appear all the time on local TV amateur audition shows (There used to be a lot of these. I'm old.) and they were enjoyed by no one but the children's parents. If you did not know what lay ahead for these three you would not watch this for longer than 20 seconds without a menacing individual with a firearm nearby forcing you to do so. Just dreadful. IMHO, of course.
As to Robin's stage demeanor, you can observe it change over the years to the point where he often seemed to be curling himself into his own body. He was quite active, even exuberant on stage early on, with some unique but endearing dance moves but was basically told he had the wrong look for the band. I think he was made to feel self-conscious about his natural movements and ended up not really knowing what to do with himself on stage when he wasn't actually singing. You forgot all about that once he opened his mouth because he was very confident in his voice.
Robin was in a train wreck when he was 17 and was nearly killed, he saw many people dying around him anctually saved several people and Barry said Robin was never the same after that, from a very extrovert happy kid to totally the opposite.
