This music was in the second movie Staying Alive which opened to Travalto in a dance studio. Saturday Night Fever featured Travolta walking to Night Fever. I saw both when they debuted in theaters. Both intros are here on TH-cam.
@@thobbit60 A lot of people misremember the song John Travolta dances to in the night club as Stayin Alive instead of You Should Be Dancing. I don't know of anyone that doesn't know he struts down the sidewalk to Stayin Alive.
When I took my CPR class, this is the song they recommended that we sing in our heads when we do chest compressions. You need to do about 120 compressions per minute, and this song is at about 120 beats per minute, which is a common walking pace. So if you can sing this song, you can save a life.
That was my comment too. As a former teacher, I always played this song when the students learned about CPR. They had the option at our school to become certified. And trust me sixth graders don’t forget that song when you’ve played it in the classroom and let them dance to it. They’ll always know the rhythm and timing of CPR..
Bee Gees did the soundtrack for film Saturday Night Fever, this is the lead song. It's set in a NYC working class neighborhood, John Travolta plays the tough kid who copes with his difficult life by being a hot shot dancer at local clubs. Great movie.
Anyone alive during this era has to have heard this song. Love the Bee Gees...This is THE song...Those incredible high notes...I wanna dance...NOW!🤣Watch the movie, BP!
How lucky were those of us who grew up with 70's Rock. Bee Gees, Queen, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, Lynard Skynard, Journey, Chicago, Kiss, and the King of Rock and roll Elvis. We lived this, danced to this music and made lots of love with this music. Great memories.
Barry not alone had #1 hits his brothers were apart of them all. They were all important to make them as successful as they were. Mo was probably the most talented of them all and I think he never got the credit he deserved.
This is the perfect musical accompaniment to John Travolta strutting down the streets of Brooklyn in Saturday Night Fever- a must watch! This IS the actual soundtrack! The movie is all about struggle.
Back in the day when The Bee Gees ruled the disco days..we used to go to the clubs just to watch the dancers, the clothes,the way they moved and that big disco ball were all jaw dropping..A great time to be alive!
I was right there also! BUT! As a hard rock fan I still must say "Disco Still Sucks" LOL! However there was a lot of great music that came out of disco. Disco just disrupted the flow of R & R at the time and as I remember it Punk Rock replaced disco. Somewhere in there Bruce Springsteen brought back R & R more or less.
i was congratulated by guys a couple of times for my dancings kills. One was when I was 21. i had just moved to london to live and work and was working in advertising. We were invited to a party on a river boat laid on by one of our clients. One of the executives there was Mickey Dolentz of the Monkees. He had investments. Very nice man. he asked me to dance.. a complete gentleman. he had been watching me kicking my legs out.. improvising.. and said you know you are a VERY good dancer. I hadn;t had any lessons.. and only dance in night clubs and discos. made my first week in London. years later, now in the Police, I was at charity show for a fallen police officer in the West end of London and a group of the cast of East Enders were standing around near me. A jazz band was playing and i was standing the back, in plain clothes as security, We had a lovely dance.. another perfect gentleman.. and he played a policeman on he show as well.
Tragedy, Nights on Broadway, More than a Woman, I started a joke…all excellent. Our Love (Don’t throw it all away) tribute to Andy. Amazing and emotional.
That might be the single most hilarious statement ever set forth on this channel. There are probably no fewer than 1000 better singles. It’s good, but seriously? Maybe you grooved to this with Mary Jane Rottencr*tch at some disco 50 years ago, and maybe you even had it playing during your 30 second performance with said Mary Jane in the back of your ‘73 Roadrunner, but it’s nostalgia that’s driving your grossly exaggerated worship of this song.
Said some random music snob who makes Jack Black in ‘High Fidelity’ look like my 10 year-old nephew talking over last week’s VMAs. I stand by my comment. Now I dare you to embarrass yourself by naming three better known, more beloved songs.
Just so you are aware, each of the guys, had beautiful voices. When they were live you might hear Maurice doing some of the falsetto as a background, In FANNY, you will hear Robin go into a baritone voice. You have check out I started a Joke with Robin on the lead. Or Closer than Close with Maurice on the lead. Very talented trio and I am so glad growing up with them.
From what the Documentary on the BeeGee's said they were in NY at the time and a lot of murders and break-ins where happening and on the News and in the papers were saying of another death someone's Son and the Mothers were pleading with their Son's to stay home. It effected them so much that they wrote this song within a few hours or days.
The song was written for Saturday Night Fever. You should react to the opening credits of the movie with this song playing while Travolta strutting with a can of paint in Brooklyn. Even though the song was written for the movie, there was no one better to write and sing those words, because Barry was actually scalded as a toddler and his mother said he was only given twenty minutes to live. He had tugged a table cloth and pulled a just poured tea pot over onto himself. Took many months in hospital to recover. You can see the scars on his chest in some videos, including Too Much Heaven. He was asked a couple of years ago how he wanted to go, and he said singing… go out right in the middle of Stayin Alive. He has survived three younger brothers, including their baby brother Andy who had a huge solo career, but had damaged his heart doing drugs and drinking. Their other songs on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack are MORE THAN A WOMAN, Night Fever, IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU, How Deep Is Your Love, JIVE TALKIN, and YOU SHOULD BE DANCING. The last song has a live performance that includes Andy joining them on stage. All classic mega hits that you need in your Bee Gees playlist.
Andy Gibb was and still is my favorite of the Brother's Gibb he was a solo artist and very talented in his own right no one can take a damn thing from Andy i hate when people compare him to Barry i know how it is to live in a siblings shadow it feels very sad and lonely. R.I.P. Sweetheart. I pray Andy found the peace he so longed for on earth and never achieved. I take comfort that Andy is in heaven and doesn't have to compete with anyone or walk in anyone's shadow. Barry is still alive.
I especially like pre-disco Bee Gees - totally different sound but the same fabulous voices! Words, I Started a Joke, To Love Somebody, New York Mining Disaster 1941, I Can't See Nobody...
Stayin' Alive was used (along with a bunch of other Bee Gees music) in the disco movie Saturday Night Fever (1977). And then, it became the title song of the 1983 sequel.
You definitely will love the soundtrack to the movie”Saturday Night Fever” which includes this song, “How Deep Is Your Love” and many more BeeGees songs and starring John Travolta.
Fun fact: Most, if not all, of the drums are a loop. According to wikipedia, The band's drummer Dennis Bryon left the recording sessions early as his mother died. The shortage of qualified replacement drummers in the area prompted the group to try a drum machine, but it did not offer satisfactory results. After listening to the drum track of the already-recorded "Night Fever", the group and producer Albhy Galuten took two bars from that track, rerecorded them as a recurrent loop on a separate tape (creating the song's constant rhythm), and proceeded with sessions for "Stayin' Alive". In an interview Albhy Galuten stated, "As we started to lay tracks down to it, we found that it felt really great-very insistent but not machinelike. It had a human feel. By the time we had overdubbed all the parts to the songs and Dennis came back, there was no way we could get rid of the loop. We chose a bar that felt so good that we ended up using that same loop on 'Stayin' Alive,' and 'More Than a Woman,' and then again on Barbra Streisand's song 'Woman in Love.'"
Barry Gibbs is still alive as far as I know. You need to check out the Tribute to the BeeGees. Barry n his wife of 50 years in the audience. Keith Urban, a country legend in His own rights, sings one of their songs - To love somebody - check out the version they did, back in the late 60s early 70s, not blocked and is a video, before you watch the tribute. They had a different sound back then. I think you will love both. Not to mention, Keith Urban plays a mean guitar and rips a solo in his version. As always, thanks for your reaction. 😊
I was a teenager when this came out and we LOVED the Bee Gees. We would put on our roller skates and go to the rinks every Friday night. My grandmother even made me some pom poms for the top of my skates. What fun being a teenager in the 70's.
@Linda-w8d Hi I was much younger than a teenager when the BeeGee's started their career but I did also go roller skating at the nearest rink listening to the BeeGee's while skating. I also had a bike from my Dad that had a radio in the middle of my handle bars and I would listen to the BeeGees's and all my other favorites while bike riding. Those were some of my favorite moments .
well remember my Dad on hearing it said, with utter certainity.. that's a woman singing.. then again, had he lived he would have been 100 this year. lol.
They have a great song “Alone” and at the end of the song Barry sings “…and I don’t wanna be alone”. His youngest brother died, then the twins. He lives in FL and his older sister in Australia.
The Bee Gees were SO talented. Not only their voices, but they wrote their music and the music of countless artists. Look online and see if you can find a list of the music they wrote for other artists - really popular songs and artists. Listen to their EARLY music - I Started A Joke, Massachusetts, Words, New York Mining Disaster 1941. I say again - THE BEE GEES WERE SO GREAT. RIP Robin and Maurice and Andy.
The Bee Gees have been around since the the 60's. There are one of the few groups that got better in their later lives. There is a great biographical special that shows their range of voice, talent and staying power.
The Bee Gees were so amazingly talented, not only did they have their own hits they also wrote huge massive hits for others. Pure unadulterated talent ❤️👌🏼
Don't forget that when this song came out in the late 70s New York City was probably at its all-time low economically and socially. Garbage strikes, city-wide blackouts, unemployment... This song's lyrics always seemed to me a great encapsulation of a lot of social and economic woes occurring there during that time.
lol you say lets go back to the real beginning... the bee gees started making hits in the late sixties. their revival in the seventies started with Staying Alive. but check out their much earlier stuff like The New York Mining Disaster or To Love Somebody
I love the intro to movie where Travolta is doing the strut to this song.. The movie is very disturbing in many ways.. but shows turmoil of young man with dreams trying to survive.
Listen to the a amazing bass line, that is composed and played by Maurice Gibb, an underrated master of this era of bass. Long live Maurice Gibb and his Bros. The BeeGees
Video was filmed at MGM's back lot in Culver City, California. An abandoned subway terminal set. Barry is alive and married to his wife Linda for over 50 years. Maurice (pronounced Morris) died of a heart attack awaiting surgery for a stomach condition. (2003) . Robin (in red) is Maurice's "older" twin brother". He died in 2012 from cancer.
Just watch the movie, Saturday Night Fever, and you will get to live and experience the whole sound track. There are many great songs on it from more artists along with the Bee Gees.
Still a great song even today. Loved the Bee Gees growing up. There's also a song called Jive Talking you'd like, BP. Barry is still alive. There's a documentary called The Last Bee Gee, which is probably still on TH-cam.
He's still alive and he's the oldest brother of 4. Andy Gibb was the youngest, I think, and he died first. He wasn't in the Bee Gees, but was a successful solo artist.
Saturday Night Fever (which this song is from) was about lives of young men living in Brooklyn working dead-end jobs but live for their nights dancing at the local discotheque
BP, you really need to find a copy or stream Saturday Night Fever. It was a reflection of the time, the beginning of John Travolta’s time in film and a full reflection of The Bee Gees. There are a lot of memories for us old timers. 🖖🏼
For a totally different vibe, check out Robin singing lead on 'I started a joke'. These guys were amazing & so was their little brother Andy Gibb. He had the same voice & I like his song 'Shadow dancing'. LOL Those Gibbs genes were strong.
MORE “Blue Eyed Soul” from child prodigy, multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter STEVE WINWOOD. Official Video Please! “ROLL WITH IT”. One of the coolest videos ever made, imho. Love your channel, content and commentary!
It's called a falsetto voice and Barry discovered it by accident when they needed a high background voice and he just tried. Frpm that moment it became their signature sound. LJ
Life and Death are in the power of the tongue. Words are very powerful. What's crazy is Barry out lived all 3 of his younger brothers. I'm sure that's hard for him loosing his younger siblings. Same time I'm sure he's grateful to still be alive.
DNA is a crazy thing. All 4 brothers are completely gifted with singing voices. While they all look like brothers, two got the looks and two got the swing and a miss! Love the entire family! Amazing talents!
The New York Times Used To Be The Most Powerful Programming Institution In The World. That's What They Were Singing About. The Fact That Many Younger People Have Never Heard Of It Shows How Things Have Really Changed 🤔
I love the Bee Gee's , dude I remember when these damn songs were new !!! I had the biggest crush on Barry Gibb !!! I think this has the whole NYC theme cause this was made for Saturday Night Fever and this is one of the biggest selling soundtrack's ever and the Bee Gee's had like 3 or 4 song's on it ?
The opening scene of Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta walking down the sidewalk to this song is movie magic!
This music was in the second movie Staying Alive which opened to Travalto in a dance studio. Saturday Night Fever featured Travolta walking to Night Fever. I saw both when they debuted in theaters. Both intros are here on TH-cam.
They wrote nearly all the songs on that soundtrack
Barry Gibb is still alive, his three other brothers have all passed away.
Yeah, he stops off along the way and grabs two slices of pizza from his real life sister. That pizza place is still there too.
@@thobbit60 A lot of people misremember the song John Travolta dances to in the night club as Stayin Alive instead of You Should Be Dancing. I don't know of anyone that doesn't know he struts down the sidewalk to Stayin Alive.

Barry Gibb was and still is a beautiful man, RIP Mo, Robin and Andy.
I had such a crush on him!
@@Noelle0026yes and crazy about Andy Gibb
I SECOND THAT!!!
@@Noelle0026 Lordy! I still do! 😁He was so gorgeous and sexy and he's still a nice looking man today at age-78🥰🥰🥰

That was the sequel Stayin' Alive
Love the Bee Gees. RIP to Andy, Maurice and Robin. Barry is the last surviving brother.
Barry still has great hair.
Such a sad family history...just one brother left...🙏
Staying alive is from the movie Saturday NightFeaver with John Travolta
Barry just celebrated his 54th wedding anniversary and his 78th birthday on September 1, 2024

I like everyone you mentioned. Do you also like the Beatles and The Rolling Stones?
Sir Barry Gibb has had No.1 songs in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.
And a prolific songwriter too!
@@Noelle0026all 3 brothers together were
All 3 brothers
The only Bee Gee to have a solo #1 was Robin with "Juliet".
Barry not alone had #1 hits his brothers were apart of them all. They were all important to make them as successful as they were. Mo was probably the most talented of them all and I think he never got the credit he deserved.

I totally agree!!!

Additionally, to the great ones you have listed I recently discovered their gem "Love you inside and out"
Totally agree!!
Lonely Days, Lonely Nights
Black Pegasus you've got to watch Saturday Night Fever. The Bee Gees are all throughout it.
The Bee Gees music is all through Saturday Night Fever. If you want to see them, you have to watch Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Dope movie Black P !!!
Movie is very hard to watch for me... so be emotionally ready.
The Greatest Single Ever Recorded. Play it in any club, or at any wedding, in any part of the world, and people will instantly fill the dance floor.

Yes , we knew this !!!! I always see Travolta strutting down that sidewalk when I hear this song .
And in that scene Travolta bumps into Sylvester Stallone on the the street, just a short cameo of Sly.

@bfitzsenry Yes Sir Barry was very well known for one of the best falsetto voices around. ❤️
In 1978 this was one of the 5 songs the BeeGees had in the top 10 at one time.
Barry has an older sister that is still alive but all of his younger brothers including Andy have passed on. His sister’s name is Lesley.
One of the greatest groups ever.

You should start with their initial hits in the sixties: Massachussetts, Words, etc. Different, but gorgeous, like the brothers.😉

The subway was used at the beginning of a Fred Astaire movie, The Band Wagon, if I remember correctly. It was also used for Funny Girl
It’s the perfect song to do CPR with, Seriously.
It used to be Another One Bites the Dust
"Tragedy" and "More Than A Woman to Me" are some of my faves
Back in the day it was one of the most requested songs going.
Just watch the movie, Saturday Night Fever, and you will get to live and experience the whole sound track.
There are many great songs on it from more artists along with the Bee Gees.
Love it 👍🙏💪🇭🇲
Still a great song even today. Loved the Bee Gees growing up. There's also a song called Jive Talking you'd like, BP.
Barry is still alive. There's a documentary called The Last Bee Gee, which is probably still on TH-cam.
"This song should be on everyone's playlist." True story, my brother. The groove is just so epic.
This is a song from Saturday Nigh Fever based on a disco in NYC hence the New York references,
He's still alive and he's the oldest brother of 4. Andy Gibb was the youngest, I think, and he died first. He wasn't in the Bee Gees, but was a successful solo artist.
They have a sister too.😉
Barry's son has joined him as a band member. The brothers have past but they all left children. So their souls live on..
We're still stayin' alive ☺
To Love Somebody to Jive Talkin and more are overlooked super tunes
Saturday Night Fever (which this song is from) was about lives of young men living in Brooklyn working dead-end jobs but live for their nights dancing at the local discotheque
Remember this is from the movie SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. It was written for the movie, which was in New York.
Brooklyn, NY
BP, you really need to find a copy or stream Saturday Night Fever. It was a reflection of the time, the beginning of John Travolta’s time in film and a full reflection of The Bee Gees. There are a lot of memories for us old timers. 🖖🏼
Barry is 78 . Still kickin'
R.I.P.
ANDY
MAURICE
ROBIN
Barry GIbb, oldest of 4 brothers and the last man standing. Imagine that loss...
Oh Barry! Luv his hair, his hairy chest, medallion, walk, pants and voice!
Not to forget his long straight legs, his humor and his laugh!
Matchstick Men, Massachusetts, I Started a Joke. List goes on and on.
"Matchstick Men" wasn't the Bee Gees.
To Love Somebody and New York Mining Disaster are two of my favorites - even after 40 years plus they still get to me every time.
look at pics of the bronx in the late 70s and you find out how they had to live in that time
Narrow leg pants was 70' fashion..🎉so no wonder the gibb brothers 🎉🎉🎉I think their clothes should be brought by their beautiful wives...Barry
For a totally different vibe, check out Robin singing lead on 'I started a joke'. These guys were amazing & so was their little brother Andy Gibb. He had the same voice & I like his song 'Shadow dancing'. LOL Those Gibbs genes were strong.
MORE “Blue Eyed Soul” from child prodigy, multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter STEVE WINWOOD. Official Video Please!
“ROLL WITH IT”. One of the coolest videos ever made, imho.
Love your channel, content and commentary!
Barry is still alive and so is his older sister Leslie.
It's called a falsetto voice and Barry discovered it by accident when they needed a high background voice and he just tried. Frpm that moment it became their signature sound. LJ
This IS on everybody's playlist!
Loved all of their songs even at their very beginning
I've always felt this song should be adopted as the official anthem of COVID Pandemic.....staying alive !
RIP Robin and Maurice ❤️
And Andy too
It broke my heart when Robin passed away.
Wyclef did a remix called- we trying to stay alive
Life and Death are in the power of the tongue. Words are very powerful. What's crazy is Barry out lived all 3 of his younger brothers. I'm sure that's hard for him loosing his younger siblings. Same time I'm sure he's grateful to still be alive.
DNA is a crazy thing. All 4 brothers are completely gifted with singing voices. While they all look like brothers, two got the looks and two got the swing and a miss!
Love the entire family! Amazing talents!
The New York Times Used To Be The Most Powerful Programming Institution In The World. That's What They Were Singing About.
The Fact That Many Younger People Have Never Heard Of It Shows How Things Have Really Changed 🤔
Lots of people sampled Stayin Alive but I think Wyclef Jean was the most popular. Excellent jam!
Loved The Bee Gees! I don’t listen to them enough! Thanks BP this was fun! Makes me want to dance 💃🏻❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Bee Gees - To Love Somebody (1967).
And live performance of -For Whom The Bell Tolls ( WebTwinkle).
I love the Bee Gee's , dude I remember when these damn songs were new !!! I had the biggest crush on Barry Gibb !!! I think this has the whole NYC theme cause this was made for Saturday Night Fever and this is one of the biggest selling soundtrack's ever and the Bee Gee's had like 3 or 4 song's on it ?
