Maurice was easy to love with his humor, talent humility and beautiful smile. My heart broke when he died. What a great loss to the music world and hearts of everyone who loved him.
Maurice’s voice was the “dries clear glue” that married all 3 of their voices together. You can’t see it but once you start paying attention you realize it.
Maurice Gibb's vocals in the Bee Gees sound was very similar to George Harrison in the Beatles. The third voice that makes the other two blend together.
We all love a Maurice. Someone who is talented who doesn't demand the spotlight but who is incredibly talented. Humble, willing to step back for the benefit of the whole. He did it.
Maurice struggled for years with alcoholism. This song sounds like the first steps of recovery. Every time I hear it, that opinion grows stronger. And oh my, that voice.
Exactly right about MO’s song, being about the journey of his sobriety. 🎉 ❤ May all struggling with addiction be blessed! ❤ Prayers for every single one of you! 🎉 ❤ 😊

man in the middle was about him trying to get his wife to do threesomes with another woman,thats were he says man in the middle of they two of them,it nearly broke his marriage up.
@@amycrittendon3269 I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well, @amycrittendon3269. I pray your journey continues the same way too. I know how hard it is, from experience with some patients struggling to maintain their sobriety. May God bless you.I think a lot of Maurice too. I have struggles not related to substance abuse. No humans are perfect, so don't put yourself down as being weak. Just keep doing what you can to heal! (I'm playing my Doctor.) I will pray for you, Amy. 🙏 🌠🔯
If you knew his history and things he's done, this song makes more sense. I like him out of the others, because I feel like I can relate to him more. I'm a middle child also. I feel like he's speaking through music
To be able to go back in time and warn Maurice and Robin of the birth defect (both had) so it wouldn't lead to Maurice's death. Robin had surgery to fix it years later, but it couldn't stop the cancer.
Andy, Maurice, Robin R.I.P Imagine all the songs we have missed. Their catalogue is huge, even though all died too young. Just imagine how much the world has lost. Music is really the only thing that transcends all the crap in this world.
I had no idea that Maurice had an incredible lead voice. He has always added great backup and harmony voice. I wonder if it has mostly been his choice to remain in the background?
I put them up there with Dream Theater as being some of the best musicians. Only 5 groups outsold Bee Gees (two are Beetles and Paul McCartney which I can't stand)
Interestingly enough when I was a teenager I had a huge crush on Barry and Andy. However, since I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of watching everything Bee Gees recently I have switched my attention to Maurice! He’s so talented, has seemed to always be the peacemaker, and is truly funny and engaging. What an amazing man! Watching him talking about his struggles with alcohol and recovery is amazing and shows how strong and committed he is to being healthy and a good husband and father over anything else. I think he doesn’t mind being in his own space on stage while the others stand in the spotlight. I love him!
I think in some ways, that is what Maurice did on purpose. He left the other two to be the more popular ones, while in the background, he was stealing the show. Maybe he was shy and didn't like the limelight to be on him, I don't know. Maybe that is why he turned to alcohol and drugs, to hide his own insecurities. Whatever it was, he was the unseen cog that made the BeeGees wheel roll so smoothly.
I love Maurice...he is gorgeous and what a wonderful voice! He is awesome and so talented! Beautiful family and my type of guy! His son and daughter are beautiful! He and Robin and Andy are so missed!
@@janicesnyder9305 Wasn't it just alcohol regarding Maurice? Not that wasn't an issue, but I think it was Andy that was the most insecure one who turned to drugs to cope if memory serves.
The day Mo died the world lost a beautiful man, inside and out. RIP Mo I still miss you as do all of your friends, your family and your millions of fans❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Maurice You were sexy and so funny. All your antics and teasing was loved . Barry was also sexy and had a good singing voice. I am 70 and love it when I go shopping and they would have the BeeGees music playing and that would brighten your mood as you could sing along. There mom and dad was so lucky to have much a musical family with talent galore. There 4 sons sang but not the sister
Maurice Gibb voice is just amazing, he was so talented with his singing and instrument playing. I can't believe he died just two years after this consort. R.I.P. Maurice
I will listen to these men for the rest of my life! They are all so different in every way: looks, presence and voices. Their voices are all very different and absolutely necessary to make the beautiful music that we love- Robin can hit those prolonged high notes, Barry plays lead, and Maurice hits the lower notes and oh, so magically!
These 3 were always very good at saying suggestive things that got the ladies imaginations going. In almost every interview or concert they did that. They knew how to work the female fans. And let’s face it, it’s good business.
Took me 3 decades before I found this song. It sinks right to my core! Man in the middle, struggling with addiction. Maurice is my favorite BeeGee because of this! ❤
Growing up I lives this group and thought Barry was so handsome but as he got older Maurice was really attractive and had a great smile. I heard an interview where he discussed his drinking problems and he was so humble and down to earth.
Maurice and Lulu's version of "The First of May" is unequaled. My deepest thanks to them. I can't conceive of a more authentic, deeply felt, spontaneous expression of profound emotion.
Dear Maurice, you were like the good wine : you became better and charmer by the years ! You also showed more character , self-confidence and personal type perhaps due to the external changes of your looks and your smile became brighter, your voice deeper , which added much to your image ! I was raised with your music and I’ll never stop listening to you and your brothers as long as I live ! Be well wherever you are all of you, on earth or in heaven !!!❤
Добряк. Всегда весёлый, улыбка обворожительная, голос бархатный, скромный, располагает к себе. Очень обидно, что век его оказался столь короток.Респект МОРИСУ.
It's great pleasure to hear Maurice Gibb's voice for a change from the the bee gees. His voice is less squeaky than Barry's. Overall all the brothers are good singers (like it or not Barry's voice is unique compared to all other musicians' voices)
Maurice had a lovely voice mostly Barry and robin did lead on most their songs it makes a change for Maurice to do lead all three brothers had brilliant voices couldn't imagine bee gees without any of the brothers they were very clever songwriters
All the brothers had beautiful voices in there own right, BUT when they sang together Wow Nobody could beat there Harmony. Needless to say I've loved the BeeGees from the start ❤
I wish he had sang more lead. This is the first time I actually got to hear his voice. Such a shame to have had it hidden as a backup. Yes, Barry has an amazing voice, can't get enough, but Maurice had a wonderful deeper, sexy voice.
Maurice spoke in a conversation with Lynn Redgrave about his alcohol addiction and his going to rehab and living the sober life since (vid on YT). Once you know about it, and that he was drunk on stage most nights until he sobered up, you can see the difference in him in performances after 1993. He's more animated and into his music. Listen to the words to this. He wrote it shortly after he got sober.
By the time they returned to to England as late teens, young adults, they had over 10 years experience performing, sometimes nightly, as little kids and teens. Confident. Gifted. Driven. Relentless. Talent from a place nobody can explain. Easy to pick up and run with, as Stigwood the Impresario did. They are history.
Wow I miss Maurice. Rip sending my love to you in heaven. Hope you and Robin are singing up there in heaven. God's going to love to have you two sing for him Amen 🙏😇
I've loved the Bee Gees since 1977,in my eyes I think Maurice was the most handsome I know most women like Barry,and he is very good looking,but I think Maurice was sexy with his cute little hats.
Still listening 2024.💕
I am also!!!
Eu❤❤❤
Maurice was easy to love with his humor, talent humility and beautiful smile. My heart broke when he died. What a great loss to the music world and hearts of everyone who loved him.
Still listening to him... cannot believe he is no longer.... bless❤🎉
💜🌹💜🌹
Presne tak. Bola som v šoku. Škoda ho. Aj Robina.
Totally agreed . Closer than close is another where he showed his huge talented.
@@danielabarnova4444кому позор? Чего? Что вы испрожняете под себя? Лучше помолчите. Блин, п*здец...
His voice was very deep and rich in its tone and very enjoyable to listen to indeed.
Maurice’s voice was the “dries clear glue” that married all 3 of their voices together. You can’t see it but once you start paying attention you realize it.
LOl. He made a fortune with an average voice. Born lucky into the right family.
It's a beautiful comment You just made, and so true.
@@Gary21259 Not at all, most compositions were made by Maurice, he was the ´´brain´´ of the Bee Gees.
I love his voice.
I love his voice.
Maurice Gibb's vocals in the Bee Gees sound was very similar to George Harrison in the Beatles. The third voice that makes the other two blend together.
Plus he did all of the arrangements! Mo was the best!
Wonderful...the guitar sound was superb... how sad we have lost him..... love them all god bless 😢😂😢
You hit the nail on the head. Great analogy!
Agree 100%
We all love a Maurice. Someone who is talented who doesn't demand the spotlight but who is incredibly talented. Humble, willing to step back for the benefit of the whole. He did it.

me too his style got me
Yes he did ❤️
His smile was infectious and he played the most instruments of any of the brothers as well as vocals...what a talent!!
Sound good 👍👍👍
This should have been a huge hit.
Absolutely!!!!
Agreed. They're the best.
Billy..I AGREE
It actually did go number one but I agree.
Great song
You don't get to hear Maurice sing lead very often, but you can see that the Bee Fees wouldn't be the group they are without him.
It's been 19 years since Maurice is gone, I still love his voice.
I miss him too so sad died far too young in 2003
His voice was marvelous
too young indeed.
MO is immortal ❤ just like the others
To be able to go back in time and warn Maurice and Robin of the birth defect (both had) so it wouldn't lead to Maurice's death. Robin had surgery to fix it years later, but it couldn't stop the cancer.
Andy, Maurice, Robin R.I.P Imagine all the songs we have missed. Their catalogue is huge, even though all died too young. Just imagine how much the world has lost. Music is really the only thing that transcends all the crap in this world.
Maurice gave the group the fullness with his voice.
Maurice had the best voice, and he did all of the arrangements!! He was my favorite Bee Gee!
Maurice should have had.the chance to sing more times. He had a wonderful.voice.
The most underrated BG
100% his sound came a bit later because I think they started writing great music again. Bless. So sad they're gone. But always got the music x
@@Juamo-tn8we AGREED
I had no idea that Maurice had an incredible lead voice. He has always added great backup and harmony voice. I wonder if it has mostly been his choice to remain in the background?
Tinha uma vóz linda, ele sempre tão sereno!!❤ Que ele esteja em um lugar melhor que esse...
What a great song. They just couldn't write a bad song.
AGREED
I completely agree with you !
I put them up there with Dream Theater as being some of the best musicians. Only 5 groups outsold Bee Gees (two are Beetles and Paul McCartney which I can't stand)
@@GabrielGarcia-300 😂😂😂 I can't stand them either.
Mo's voice is deeper than Robin's and Barry's and is the perfect bridge between his brothers voices. His voice ties them together. 🎀
Maurice found the perfect harmony to blend over & through the other voices providing the sweet sounds of the Bee Gees.
I love Maurice 's voice. He had a beautiful smile. Greatly missed.
Awful too white teeth though

He had broad shoulders, bright eyes and a smile to die for
I've always crushed on Barry, but Mo's sexy smile and mischievous eyes are definitely swoon material!! ❤
@@bonnieplasha4684 aged well too, didn't he? Shame he left too soon

Maurice was the one that kept it all aligned up between his brothers for when they sung their parts.
Maurice was a very accomplished musician & added the PERFECT HARMONY to the other brothers.
Maurice Gibb voice is just amazing, he was so talented with his singing and instrument playing. I can't believe he died just two years after this consort. R.I.P. Maurice
The man in the middle.
Zwischen Barry und Robin.
Wie oft müsste er vermitteln. Danke für Alles. Unvergessen.
I love Maurices style, shame he didn't do more. So sad to lose him. Love his sense of humour.
I love his voice I enjoy listening to him more than the other 2
Maurice was the instrumentalists in the group. He could play any instrument. God Bless him.
I will listen to these men for the rest of my life! They are all so different in every way: looks, presence and voices. Their voices are all very different and absolutely necessary to make the beautiful music that we love- Robin can hit those prolonged high notes, Barry plays lead, and Maurice hits the lower notes and oh, so magically!
Most under appreciated Gibb. I mean, just listen to his unique style and sound.
These 3 were always very good at saying suggestive things that got the ladies imaginations going. In almost every interview or concert they did that. They knew how to work the female fans. And let’s face it, it’s good business.
I absolutely love this song! I miss Maurice, Robin and Andy so badly.
The brother that blended the 3 into the best harmonies ever
Took me 3 decades before I found this song. It sinks right to my core! Man in the middle, struggling with addiction. Maurice is my favorite BeeGee because of this! ❤
R.I.P Maurice and Robin - Hang on in there Barry - we need you! We want to hear a BG's No.1 again! Please make it happen Barry!!!! xxx
I knew he could sing, BUT DAMN!!!!! Great song Mo
Growing up I lives this group and thought Barry was so handsome but as he got older Maurice was really attractive and had a great smile. I heard an interview where he discussed his drinking problems and he was so humble and down to earth.
20 years since Mo left us. Still makes me sad. Wondering what could have been 💔 grateful for what was. 🎹🎶
I Miss hearing the 3 of them singing together.
Me too.
I think you can hear Maurice’s voice the best in ‘Closer than Close’. Those 3 voices together, beyond amazing!
I loved Maurice and Robin. Brilliant song and Maurice never given enough credit at what he brought to the group. Sadly missed always remembered
Maurice was lovely person with a lovely voice
Uwielbiam ten film - "Man In The Middle", śpiewany przez MAURICE GIBB.
Maurice was my favorite but then each was an awesome man...
Que hermosa cancion que canta Maurice's,...
Nice to see and hear Maurice sing solo! Wish we’d heard more of it back in the day! Cheers!
Without Maurice the seventies disco scene would never have been "stayin alive remains iconic in the world of all music. listen to the bass.
Well that’s a big reach. 🤦🏽♀️
I think Barry said it best, “I wish my brothers were here with me.” I can’t imagine going to three funerals for my brothers.
MARK: Barry Also Said In 2 Interviews That Their Most FAVORITE SONG IS HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE I AGREE
WHAT A LEGACY THEY HAVE GAVE US..
This is nice now I can spot his voice in the trio better. Robins vibrato stood out, Maurice blends . Great song
Yeah I believe Maurice is more of the baritone voice in the trio Robin's voice is the high and Barry is the falsetto
@@chrisburrelljr9270 Barry used full voice and falsetto on many songs. Not just falsetto...
I absolutely love this song. It was great seeing Maurice sing most of the lead. They were a true gem!
Still heartbroken you will always be missed Maurice & Robin but I loved Maurice xx
Finally Maurice got to have lead vocals
Maurice and Lulu's version of "The First of May" is unequaled. My deepest thanks to them. I can't conceive of a more authentic, deeply felt, spontaneous expression of profound emotion.
Hadn’t heard that! Thank you! It’s beautiful
2024 I've been a Bee Gees fan since the 80's... How's today the 1st time I've heard this? It's really good.
They all had such great voices. I know Barry misses his brothers
He was definitely the man in the middle. He was very talented

Wish someone would release his shelved solo album...
Falsetto
Agree
Robin had the most haunting and unique voice of the brothers. It was chilling
I think out of the 3 brothers my favorite voice was Robin. He had a dark haunting voice with his music. It made it chilling and amazing
Love his voice and this song. The Bee Gee’s harmony just wasn’t the same without his voice.❤️
Oh my gosh I have watched the bee gees over and over
They're so addicting !!
Maurice had a lovely voice mostly Barry and robin did lead on most their songs it makes a change for Maurice to do lead all three brothers had brilliant voices couldn't imagine bee gees without any of the brothers they were very clever songwriters
RIP beautiful Maurice. Great guy love you inside and out.
That was a clever Bee Gees pun. Whether intentional or not, totally got me haha. But of course RIP to Maurice and Robin definitely legends no doubt
All the brothers had beautiful voices in there own right, BUT when they sang together Wow Nobody could beat there Harmony.
Needless to say I've loved the BeeGees from the start ❤
I wish he had sang more lead. This is the first time I actually got to hear his voice. Such a shame to have had it hidden as a backup. Yes, Barry has an amazing voice, can't get enough, but Maurice had a wonderful deeper, sexy voice.
This is an awesome song! Why not put it into any upcoming albums, Barry? I say do it!!
it's there in the album "This is where I came in"

RIP a legend. I miss Maurice so much. I love his voice when he sings a lot. Rest well Maurice. He will always be a great legend to me.
Maurice is waiting for Robin and Barry with Andy and Dad in paradise ..he's rockin' and rollin' with Jesus. We' ll see him again Beegee fans..
What song!!!!! And ritmic!!!!!!! It's wonderful. Thank's very much. You are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you

Ohh so gorgeous! What a gift you are and so are Barry, Robin and Andy.
Thankful so very
fortunate Barry is still here.❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I agree, this should have been released as a single.
It still can be......maybe?
I love this song, one of my favourites.. I wish that we could have more music from Maurice!! So sad that we lost him so young...heartbreaking!!
MAURICE : YOU SHALL NEVER BE REPLACED 🕺🎸❤
Hat Maurice eine geile Stimme. Schade das man von ihm und Robin nicht mehr hören kann.
Amoooo a Maurice gibb su lindas canciones todo en el es bello🤍✨😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Il meglio del meglio Morris è adorabile la sua voce è meravigliosa,non aggiungo altro
Maurice was the best looking and personable
Maurice was so very talented and he was a very modest individual!! Love all of the BeeGees!!
Maurice smile could cause world peace .
2024,voz linda maurice bee gees para sempre.saudades paz.
Wow I miss Maurice. Rip sending my love to you in heaven. Hope you and Robin are singing up there in heaven. God's going to love to have you two sing for him Amen 🙏😇
Really his voice was glue between Barry&Robin which resulted with world's No 1 vocal harmony. Miss you Mo Ro 😔
Maurice should've also gotten up there for that one !!! Love the BEE GEES BUNCHES !!! ❤❤❤
Underrated by far
First time hearing this song, and I thought I heard them all. I grew up to Bee Gees. Maurice got it going on.
I've loved the Bee Gees since 1977,in my eyes I think Maurice was the most handsome I know most women like Barry,and he is very good looking,but I think Maurice was sexy with his cute little hats.
This should be a hit song!!!!
Maurice had an awesome voice!
RIP Maurice. ❤
So fortunate to have them for the time we had . We were a blessed generation music-wise! Thx boys Gibb!!!!
