I appreciate this respectful reviewer who listened attentively and didn't talk or interrupt the music. No lifting a bottle of water and chug-a-lugging it down in front of the camera and eating and interrupting. I feel if you're going to review, do it; if you're going to eat or drink, go to the kitchen and get off UA-cam. Yes, really appreciated this reviewer. The Bee Gees music was unique and beautiful. Thank you for this respectful review.
My husband passed of ALS 2012 he loved to listen to the BEE GEES !! He was 62 so young he was bedridden for 3 yrs when i hear there music i cry but i love to reminisce Love you so sorry Berry for your loss !!
I was in the grocery store and this song started playing in the speaker. Of course I started singing and swaying as I'm pushing my basket. Then I took notice that all the other shoppers where singing too. It was alot of people being hit with something beautiful at the same time. That was the vibe. Out of this world. Too Much Heaven😇
Same thing happened to me at Loews with their song "NIGHT FEVER. I had to tell the guy waiting on me , to excuse me but as a disco queen in the 1970s I had no choice but to sing and groove. 😁🤣
The Bee Gee's were most definitely one of the best of all time.. I feel so sorry for Barry.... He's buried 3 younger brothers.. just can't imagine that pain... but he still keeps going on... respect.
I loved about 3/4 of the way through when he hit one of those high notes and you looked up at the camera with such a dreamy look in your eyes if you love The Bee gees music you will also love the righteous Brothers
Written by the Brothers Gibb (the Bee Gees), this song was released in 1978 when I was a junior in high school. The song was the band's contribution to the UNICEF Fund, and it has its own Wiki page if you'd like details. The Bee Gees pretty much owned the 70's but there is something about this song that just captures the essence of their unbelievable talent. It was an absolute privilege to have the Bee Gees be an integral part of the soundtrack of my teens and 20's. Only Barry is left now and the Brothers Gibb will never be the same, but OMG the music that they gifted us is an absolute treasure. And it is in fact true, that nobody gets too much heaven no more.
Finally, someone who waits to hear the song before commenting. That is the proper way to do these reaction videos. When you interrupt without listening fully, you might not understand the meaning or concept of the message being sung, or you just want to hear your own voice without truly caring about the music.
Dou you not realize that every generation feels the same way about "their" music. My Dad insisted Big Band/Swing was the best. My cousins love Rock & Roll. My friends parents love Elvis. My friends children love Emo. Of course I'm the only one who is correct. Everyone secretly knows that Grunge and Punk are #1
@@killjoy3000 LOL to grunge and punk - yep they lasted how long? As you said, everyone has their idea of what is good music - no one is going to like everything but giving it a chance is fine. This is the music I grew up on too - personally I prefer their non disco sound but that's me.
Also no prancing around half naked to try to distract from the fact that you can't sing for shit and are lip syncing. I really don't like much of what is around now - it's all the same repetitive stuff. I had a CD of U2s best of and seriously I put it on and went out to hang the laundry after a while. When I came back in I seriously didn't know if it was still the same song banging on for 10 mins of it I'd missed 3.
Love, love, love the Bee Gees. I am a black female, 67 yrs old, grew up with them. (A bit lengthy, but a must read.) The Bees Gees: (from left to right) Robin, Barry and Maurice (pronounced Morris) Maurice (Dec 22, 1949 - Jan. 12, 2003.) Robin (Dec. 22, 1949 - May 20, 2012.) Maurice and Robin were fraternal twins. Barry (the middle) said, 'I'm the last man standing.' He will be 76 on September 1, 2022, which is also the 52nd wedding anniversary with Linda. They have 5 adult children and 7 grandchildren. Barry's voice is a bit more mellow since he is older, but he continues to perform to sellout crowds!! Andy Gibb, the youngest brother, had his own successful career. He was 12 yrs younger than Barry. He and Barry looked so much alike, that they could had been twins! Andy passed away in 1988, at the age of 30. Barry stated that Andy lived the 'LA lifestyle' involving drugs, and he had heart problems. The brothers wrote all of his songs. On a side note, the first born is their sister, Lesley, who turned 78, January 12, 2022. Maurice passed on the same day as her 58th birthday. 😪Lesley didn't have an interest to be in the limelight, but she can sing. They wrote all of their songs, and songs for other singers, which they recorded after the songs were released for the other singers. The brothers have a VERY IMPRESSIVE catalogue of songs!

Thank you SO much for letting this play through before commenting. For us 60 -somethings, this is PART of what we grew up on. Disco era stuff that is GOOD Don't forget good ole southern rock, as the other genres from the 70s and 80s
Well said. Lot of soul there. Just beautiful. They had 100 top 10 hits back in the day. Cant get better than that. Barry , lead singer, is still going strong at 75
Unfortunately Barry is suffering constantly with arthritis and back pain, he's finding it almost impossible to even hold a guitar. He even thinks that he's not got long to live. Saw a recent video enough to make you cry. 😎🖐🦘
@Spud Johnsonn No. I LIVED IT!!! Before the early 70's movie Saturday Night Live, they were starting disco, pop at times, even wrote for country artist. They wrote a song for Otis Redding, but he died just before recording it. They recorded it, but the name escapes me. So, R&B as well. 50 years and over 100 songs in the top 10. PERFECTO!
@@NAIATHEDRAGON The Bee Gees were huge in the 60s also. They were successful in Australia first- they had immigrated from the UK. Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson ruled the late 70s for Falsetto type vocals too.
So much musical history on these brothers. They defined an era in the 70’s. Yet, we’re relevant in 4 decades. NO band can brag on that fact. They have written over 1000 songs. And all of their albums are their own songs. Bee Gees loved black music and considered themselves R&B. Barry Gordon of Motown said their song Jive Talkin was one of the best R&B songs he ever heard.
Wonderful! I couldn't ask for a better reaction, and I appreciate so much that you want to show respect to the old-time artists by allowing the full video/ track to play out before commenting. The Brothers Gibb -- Oldest Barry (middle) flanked by fraternal twins (not identical as you can see), three years younger, Robin (beardless) and Maurice (pronounced "Morris") --they've been singing /performing since they were pre- teens, with Barry age 9 writing songs until the twins were 10-12 to contribute to the composing. They are UK British-born, with 9 years as pre-teens and teens in Australia before returning to try their fortunes back home in England in 1967 to big success and international mega-stardom.
Born on the Isle of Man so originally Manx. They then moved to Manchester, then Australia, returning to England in 1967 smashed a few hits out then moved to America and thats where the whole family settled. I like their music more than the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Im more a Janis Joplin, Canned Heat Jefferson Airplane, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Bee Gees to Nightwish kinda girl. I have every Bee Gees album. Their list of hits is stupendously huge. Not only for themselves but also for other artists such as Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Dion Warwick, the lists are endless. Their harmonies are simply superb everything is perfect in every song. Their music is not just one genre. You think you know them then they amaze you with something else.
It is a masterpiece ,Vocal harmony, incredible falsetto... a lot of soul, life and heart put into this song that I think Barry dedicated to his only wife and lifelong companion... and who have already been married for 52 years, that's why his face looks relaxed, it reflects peace, joy but above all it reflects the heart, love, feeling singing to his wife...!!! amazing....
The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, Linda Rodstadt, Olivia Newton John, John Denver, & Cat Stevens were some of my childhood favorites. Absolutely pure, beautiful vocals.
Keep in mind. Singing live. No auto tune. No pitch correct. Insane talent. In fact if you can name a group or human that did it better, by all means. Just incredible. Much in the same way you could never say a soul did it better than Michael Jackson, you have to give The Bee Gees the same props. Unequaled. Great reaction man… also you have a unique speaking voice bro. Interesting to listen to. (Compliment)
Those of us ‘of a certain age’ have had the pleasure of this music for the past ~50 yrs… it’s a deep deep dive if you choose to make it, but worth every minute spend enjoying it!! Pure, pure talent.. both writing and singing!!
OMG...SUCH MEMORIES!!💖💖👍 They had SO Many HITS!!👍👍 In the 70s you couldn't go to a Party without the BeeGees to dance to....they were Great!!! THANKS!!🙏🙏🙏🥰
@@NAIATHEDRAGON No, no...lol!!😄 You're just where you belong..🥰🥰 But you CAN listen to some really GREAT old(er) music....have a cook-out and invite some friends...see what They think of it!👍👍 🤗🤗👍
One of the most beautiful things, aside from the Bee Gees music, is watching someone new to them suddenly seeing and hearing the amazing talent these guys had. From someone old enough to have heard them from their beginnings, always a joy to welcome someone to the magic.
Welcome to the glorious rabbit hole that is the Bee Gees. There are too many songs to recommend - the Bee Gees, brothers Barry Robin and Maurice, made gorgeous music like this for more than 2 decades.
They first tried this with their regular voices. An engineer says try it falsetto. They gave it a shot, and the rest is panty dropping history. Such a talented family.
Too Much Heaven. That video is from the Bee Gee's live performance at The Music for UNICEF Concert: A Gift of Song. It was a benefit concert of popular music held in the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on January 9, 1979. It was intended to raise money for UNICEF world hunger programs and to mark the beginning of the International Year of the Child. The concert was videotaped and broadcast the following day on NBC in the U.S. and around the world. The Bee Gees gave UNICEF rights to all royalties from the song. It's raised about $11 Million for UNICEF thus far. Keep in mind that in 1979, things like auto tune had not been invented yet. This is just raw talent.
Actually, the above video is not the one used for the UNICEF concert. That video has a purple light around them. ua-cam.com/video/dP4HhEJ7Qtw/v-deo.html
Your generation should bring this beautiful music back to popularity. These were good vibes songs. They relax your mind. No bad language, no machine mixing or speaking instead of singing. 😊
Brothers Gibb. They had hits over 5 decades. You likely heard the song “Staying Alive” and just didn’t know it was them. So many try that one next. Thanks for opening the BeeGees deep vault!
Hi! I'm portuguese and I've watched several reactions videos especially about this divine song. Bee Gees were part of my adolescence and youth as well as Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye and the immortal Michael Jackson and in Europe the Swedish band Abba. It's hard to describe the harmony and peace that this song has always caused me. Their voices were of an absolutely divine degree and the orchestrations of their themes exquisite and sublime. The lyrics were also fantastic because they always found an echo in our lives. I have a brother-in-law who in the 1980s often told me that the Bee Gees were amazingly good and would last through the decades. Their music sweetened our ears and warmed our hearts. Greetings from Porto, Portugal.
Imagine how we felt in the 70s when they were REALLY popular..We lived for a BEE GEE'S album..And when they did the staying alive soundtrack..We were really in Heaven ❤
In an old interview Barry (n the center), once said that the brothers could not read music, and that their harmonies just came naturally! Seriously their music just puts you in a mood! The Saturday Night Fever tracks make you wanna move!!! Great stuff!
OMG, grew up in the late 70's with the Bee Gees. Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. A bunch of bangers on the soundtrack. Jive Talkin is another good song. They have hits for days. 😊
Jive Talking is a great song!!! The late 70s /early 80s were the best. We had Funk,Punk,Hard Rock, Disco, and early Rap was just the best. Run DMC :) I think Raising Hell is one of my fav albums ever. I am struggling to think of a great band that has appeared since the 90s? The 90s were awesome for music too,of course. Nirvana etc.
A perfect reaction. You get it! How Deep is your Love, One, You Win Again, Jive Talking, Fanny be tender with my love, For Whom the Bells Toll...50 years of hits in this rabbit hole! Enjoy 😉
I'm a grandparent now. The 60s, 70s, and 80s was my time. My grandchildren are all teens now. I have been trying for years to introduce them to the greatest era in music history ever. My 15 year old granddaughter has had her eyes and ears opened. While the other rugrats are playing video games and are on social media, she spends hours every week with me listening and singing along to classic rock, soul, blues, and some jazz. We will even FaceTime each other and listen to the greats as I try to give her the history of the musicians as well as trying to tie the music in with a history lesson. I believe it's important to teach our children what was actually happening in the world when a certain song was written and recorded.
“When you’ve got brothers singing together it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”. - from their Broken Hearts documentary. They’re simply fabulous!
I've watched several of these videos of you younger folks experiencing Too Much Heaven - and the Bee Gees in general - for the first time. My only regret is that Maurice and Robin are no longer with us to bask in all the accolades from your generation. It's beautiful. Yes, we do have many wonderful memories of their music.
Wonderful reaction, I believe you got a bit emotional....welcome to the amazing Bee Gees. No autotune just pure talent, their live performances sound exactly like their recorded ones.
The Bee Gees first tried out the falsetto in "Nights on Broadway". It's very much worth a listen, and a great look into how they developed their sound and where they came from. Incredible track. ♪♪
Yes the vocals where in the upper registers, but not falsetto. It is called 'head' voice, which is much clearer and has the power falsetto cannot deliver.
The first new Billboard #1 in January of 1979. I was only 27 years old and made the rounds to the discos,.......... the Brothers were always my favorite guys.
I'm 47, and this is one of my favorite songs from them. This just melts my mind, body, and soul, delivering me into a state of pure bliss. When I was younger, my precious mother would put Bee Gees music on and hold me; sometimes she would comb my hair. I'm blessed to still have her with me, and I now play this music on my phone, and we watch videos of them while I comb her hair. Beautiful, nostalgic memories. This song gives me the feeling that everything is going to be okay in my life. That's what their music does to me. For me, this music is heaven on earth. Thank you for your honest reaction to a classic from True Legends. God bless you and all who are watching and listening. Enjoy everyone!🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼🥰
It doesnt matter witch song you wright in your lifetime , you never will find such 3 Brothers with this Voices who sing it like they are in harmony , never .
I'm 71 now, but I remember seeing the Bee Gees in 1968 in LA at a fantastic concert where they sang their early songs which I love to this day. Really great memories of their amazing harmonies!!
I turned 70 last month. 90% of my iTunes library is music from the 1970s. I can’t believe it was 50 years ago. There was always somebody having a party or discotheques where you could dance all night with women in dresses and men in suits. My,my, my, things have changed. And not for the better.
Paul McCartney and indeed the middle dude "Barry Gibb" the best falsetto of all time - from the Bee Gees. The most talented songwriters in music history - their songwriting is simply from a another planet - quote by Elton John 🍾🔥🪐
@@MischaGER - That's wonderful BUT look at the LP liner notes and see whose names are on 90% of the song credits. Everyone seems to think Barry wrote everything and his brothers were some kind of back up act which upsets me. Even songs like "Guilty" and "Woman in Love" for Streisand, ""Chain Reaction" for Diana Ross, "Islands in the Stream for Rogers, "Emotion" for Samantha Sang, "Immortality" for Celine Dion, etc. either Barry and Robin Gibb or all three brothers. Maurice was by far the best musician and did most of the arrangements. Barry wrote most of the songs when they were young because the twins were over three years younger but they soon caught up. The other brothers also wrote for other people eg, Robin and Blue Weaver wrote the big hit "Hold on to my love" for Jimmy Ruffin. Mo and Robin wrote songs for Robin's several great solo LP's. I find Barry doesn't always make great efforts to dissuade people from thinking he wrote everything. Meanwhile he gets knighted and is "Sir". 😒 What about Robin's musical and philanthropic work? What about Mo's? All did philanthropic work. All sang and composed. Note - Elton said "Their songwriting is simply from another planet". THEIR SONGWRITING. Was Barry great? Sure, but so were Rob and Mo and where is there recognition?
I agree ... the best falsetto at the time and for a long time...but...a new voice has taken "Emotion" from Destiny's Child, recorded all the parts and blown many away. Gabriel Henrique of Brazil he does not speak English but is learning. Tell me what you think. ua-cam.com/video/AEdGV86XpcQ/v-deo.html
Glad you appreciate beautiful music. The late 50s, 60s, 70s & even into the 80s was a wonderful time to grow up as far as music is concerned. We were very lucky!
You don't know the music you missed in 70's -80's!! The Bee Gees we're incredible..The most harmonic group of guys in music! Who didn't love these guys?
I just subscribed for the respect you gave when you said you see why older folks say today's music isn't music. No voice machines, no filters, no cursing, no worshiping Satan and down talking God, no killing or robbing.... just pure... honest... real... honest music. Much love to you for your acknowledgement of what true talent is. And though you're right - there are many ways to express yourself....I just don't understand why we have to worry about what music our kids are listening to. They say when you enter heaven you hear music. Music should be ethereal, angelic...even rock with true talent can be honest and good, well back then it was. And Motown.....ugh Motown! The Temptations, the Four Tops, Smokey Robinson..... and that was in the 70s as well. 90s was the last Era for real music. The 70s was the last Era for pure honest music. And oh how I miss it. It hurts my heart it'll never be that way again.
These brothers had over a thousand songs written and sung by themselves from the 60s to 2003 when Mo passed. They also wrote for many other artists. These 3 and their younger brother Andy who passed away very young just as he was about to join the BeeGees were all phenomenal talents with craxy vocal range.
If you are just discovering the Bee Gees you have so much beautiful music to enjoy. They were, and are still, incredible. I can only imagine how much Barry misses his twin brothers. By the way thank you for playing the whole song before speaking.
The BeeGees where amazing. They will forever be in history as one of the best artists ever. Dive into more of their music. You will be surprised. Thank you for reacting to them.
The Bee Gee were absolutely beautiful singers the voices were absolutely amazing they had so much feelings in the songs and emotions. I feel sad for Berry he is the last of them to be alive he has buried his 3 younger brothers.

Music was so much better in the 70s. Pure. Raw. Emotion. Love. Dating. Holding hands. It was a magical time. Thank you BeeGees ❤
I was just thinking how the 70’s were all about music and hair😊
The 90s were the last great music decade.
Love, dating, holding hands.....Yes. Well said.
The Bee Gee's were most definitely one of the best of all time.. I feel so sorry for Barry.... He's buried 3 younger brothers.. just can't imagine that pain... but he still keeps going on... respect.

@Spud Johnsonn No. I LIVED IT!!! Before the early 70's movie Saturday Night Live, they were starting disco, pop at times, even wrote for country artist. They wrote a song for Otis Redding, but he died just before recording it. They recorded it, but the name escapes me. So, R&B as well. 50 years and over 100 songs in the top 10. PERFECTO!
We had the BEST music! Nothing today comes close!
I like that you did not stop every few seconds, as some reactors do, and gave your opinion at the end. There was no autotune just pure talent.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤜🤛
@@NAIATHEDRAGON The Bee Gees were huge in the 60s also. They were successful in Australia first- they had immigrated from the UK. Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson ruled the late 70s for Falsetto type vocals too.
So much musical history on these brothers. They defined an era in the 70’s. Yet, we’re relevant in 4 decades. NO band can brag on that fact. They have written over 1000 songs. And all of their albums are their own songs.
Bee Gees loved black music and considered themselves R&B. Barry Gordon of Motown said their song Jive Talkin was one of the best R&B songs he ever heard.
Wonderful! I couldn't ask for a better reaction, and I appreciate so much that you want to show respect to the old-time artists by allowing the full video/ track to play out before commenting. The Brothers Gibb -- Oldest Barry (middle) flanked by fraternal twins (not identical as you can see), three years younger, Robin (beardless) and Maurice (pronounced "Morris") --they've been singing /performing since they were pre- teens, with Barry age 9 writing songs until the twins were 10-12 to contribute to the composing. They are UK British-born, with 9 years as pre-teens and teens in Australia before returning to try their fortunes back home in England in 1967 to big success and international mega-stardom.
Hey Tex-Tess N. I'm excited for more ☺️
Listen to an album. You will love it! They changed their sound each decade. I love nights on Broadway
The soundtrack for Saturday night fever is the one to listen to.
Born on the Isle of Man so originally Manx. They then moved to Manchester, then Australia, returning to England in 1967 smashed a few hits out then moved to America and thats where the whole family settled. I like their music more than the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Im more a Janis Joplin, Canned Heat Jefferson Airplane, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Bee Gees to Nightwish kinda girl. I have every Bee Gees album. Their list of hits is stupendously huge. Not only for themselves but also for other artists such as Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Dion Warwick, the lists are endless. Their harmonies are simply superb everything is perfect in every song. Their music is not just one genre. You think you know them then they amaze you with something else.

LOOK FOT THE "LIVE" PREFORMANCE
So beautiful. Barry Gibb has some pipes.
It is a masterpiece ,Vocal harmony, incredible falsetto... a lot of soul, life and heart put into this song that I think Barry dedicated to his only wife and lifelong companion... and who have already been married for 52 years, that's why his face looks relaxed, it reflects peace, joy but above all it reflects the heart, love, feeling singing to his wife...!!! amazing....
If everyone in the world realize that”Love is such a Beautiful Thing “ maybe, just maybe we all can make this world a better place.
The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, Linda Rodstadt, Olivia Newton John, John Denver, & Cat Stevens were some of my childhood favorites. Absolutely pure, beautiful vocals.
BEST GROUP EVER!!! And, they wrote songs for so many other artists!!!!!! They were an amazing family!!!
Keep in mind. Singing live. No auto tune. No pitch correct. Insane talent. In fact if you can name a group or human that did it better, by all means. Just incredible. Much in the same way you could never say a soul did it better than Michael Jackson, you have to give The Bee Gees the same props. Unequaled. Great reaction man… also you have a unique speaking voice bro. Interesting to listen to. (Compliment)
Those of us ‘of a certain age’ have had the pleasure of this music for the past ~50 yrs… it’s a deep deep dive if you choose to make it, but worth every minute spend enjoying it!! Pure, pure talent.. both writing and singing!!
Thx ...so well put !!!
I love 'of a certain age" 😅
OMG...SUCH MEMORIES!!💖💖👍 They had SO Many HITS!!👍👍 In the 70s you couldn't go to a Party without the BeeGees to dance to....they were Great!!! THANKS!!🙏🙏🙏🥰
I'm jealous lol. I was born in the wrong generation 😕
@@NAIATHEDRAGON No, no...lol!!😄 You're just where you belong..🥰🥰 But you CAN listen to some really GREAT old(er) music....have a cook-out and invite some friends...see what They think of it!👍👍 🤗🤗👍
@@NAIATHEDRAGON We REALLY had fun dancing compared to the dancing today. I won dance contest!!!!
The Bee Gees recorded this and gave all proceeds to UNICEF
R.I.P. Andy,, Maurice & Robin...Thanks For ALL You Gave Us...Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.🙏❤
STAYING ALIVE is a must!!!
I am 70 and the Bee Gee’s were my all time favorite and pretty much still are! They were fabulous and be sure to listen to all their songs.😊
One of the most beautiful things, aside from the Bee Gees music, is watching someone new to them suddenly seeing and hearing the amazing talent these guys had. From someone old enough to have heard them from their beginnings, always a joy to welcome someone to the magic.
Never will there be another Bee Gees!!🎶🎵🎶
Welcome to the glorious rabbit hole that is the Bee Gees. There are too many songs to recommend - the Bee Gees, brothers Barry Robin and Maurice, made gorgeous music like this for more than 2 decades.
bee gees love you inside out
They first tried this with their regular voices. An engineer says try it falsetto. They gave it a shot, and the rest is panty dropping history. Such a talented family.
Too Much Heaven. That video is from the Bee Gee's live performance at The Music for UNICEF Concert: A Gift of Song. It was a benefit concert of popular music held in the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on January 9, 1979. It was intended to raise money for UNICEF world hunger programs and to mark the beginning of the International Year of the Child. The concert was videotaped and broadcast the following day on NBC in the U.S. and around the world. The Bee Gees gave UNICEF rights to all royalties from the song. It's raised about $11 Million for UNICEF thus far.
Keep in mind that in 1979, things like auto tune had not been invented yet. This is just raw talent.
Actually, the above video is not the one used for the UNICEF concert. That video has a purple light around them.

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys 3 times!!! absolutely phenomenal!!!!!
Your generation should bring this beautiful music back to popularity. These were good vibes songs. They relax your mind. No bad language, no machine mixing or speaking instead of singing. 😊
I'm a mid 50's heavy metal fan but I am blown away by the Bee Gees
There will never be another group like the Bee Gee's ❣❣❣ *(RIP Andy, Maurice, & Robin)* Forever in our hearts.....
It touched your soul, huh? Got chills, huh? That's the frequencies of the music. That's why our generation was a peaceful generation.
Brothers Gibb. They had hits over 5 decades. You likely heard the song “Staying Alive” and just didn’t know it was them. So many try that one next. Thanks for opening the BeeGees deep vault!
A great brilliant song 💯👍
WE LOVE THE BEEGEE'S. SO SAD GOD TOOK THEM SO SOON, WHAT A GIFT
Hi!
I'm portuguese and I've watched several reactions videos especially about this divine song.
Bee Gees were part of my adolescence and youth as well as Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Diana
Ross, Marvin Gaye and the immortal Michael Jackson and in Europe the Swedish band Abba.
It's hard to describe the harmony and peace that this song has always caused me.
Their voices were of an absolutely divine degree and the orchestrations of their themes exquisite
and sublime.
The lyrics were also fantastic because they always found an echo in our lives.
I have a brother-in-law who in the 1980s often told me that the Bee Gees were amazingly good
and would last through the decades.
Their music sweetened our ears and warmed our hearts.
Greetings from Porto, Portugal.
A lot of soul and a lot of love....no hate, no negativity, mediocrity, vulgarity, etc., etc., etc.
Imagine how we felt in the 70s when they were REALLY popular..We lived for a BEE GEE'S album..And when they did the staying alive soundtrack..We were really in Heaven ❤
In an old interview Barry (n the center), once said that the brothers could not read music, and that their harmonies just came naturally! Seriously their music just puts you in a mood! The Saturday Night Fever tracks make you wanna move!!! Great stuff!
Not just the tracks... Saturday Night Fever is an awesome movie too!
Damn how we danced to and sang with these guys ....! Everybody in a car at the top of their lungs..
OMG, grew up in the late 70's with the Bee Gees. Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. A bunch of bangers on the soundtrack. Jive Talkin is another good song. They have hits for days. 😊
I thought you were in your 20s 😮
So did I
Jive Talking is a great song!!! The late 70s /early 80s were the best. We had Funk,Punk,Hard Rock, Disco, and early Rap was just the best. Run DMC :) I think Raising Hell is one of my fav albums ever. I am struggling to think of a great band that has appeared since the 90s? The 90s were awesome for music too,of course. Nirvana etc.
Same here
You have to love the 60's and the 70's
A perfect reaction. You get it! How Deep is your Love, One, You Win Again, Jive Talking, Fanny be tender with my love, For Whom the Bells Toll...50 years of hits in this rabbit hole! Enjoy 😉
Thanks Betty!
The epitome of blue eyed soul. This is when love songs made you fall in love. One of my all time favorite groups.
Thank for listening without pausing. Really makes your reaction beautiful and real. Good job!❤
I'm a grandparent now. The 60s, 70s, and 80s was my time. My grandchildren are all teens now. I have been trying for years to introduce them to the greatest era in music history ever. My 15 year old granddaughter has had her eyes and ears opened. While the other rugrats are playing video games and are on social media, she spends hours every week with me listening and singing along to classic rock, soul, blues, and some jazz. We will even FaceTime each other and listen to the greats as I try to give her the history of the musicians as well as trying to tie the music in with a history lesson. I believe it's important to teach our children what was actually happening in the world when a certain song was written and recorded.
“When you’ve got brothers singing together it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”. - from their Broken Hearts documentary. They’re simply fabulous!
I've watched several of these videos of you younger folks experiencing Too Much Heaven - and the Bee Gees in general - for the first time. My only regret is that Maurice and Robin are no longer with us to bask in all the accolades from your generation. It's beautiful. Yes, we do have many wonderful memories of their music.
I love watching an entire new generation enjoying the music I grew up on!! Ahhh the memories!!!
Wonderful reaction, I believe you got a bit emotional....welcome to the amazing Bee Gees. No autotune just pure talent, their live performances sound exactly like their recorded ones.
Thank you for saying that about us old folks, I'm 58, born in 64. Saw Saturday Night Fever in the theater at 13.
One of their best...EVER... Lyrically, vocally and just musically! And soulfully! This song has it all! BeeGees are legendary!
Great 👍 reaction!
You young people need to listen to 70's&80's music!The best songs ever written,and performed no autotune just pure talent!!!
THANK YOU!! It gives me some hope for your generation to hear someone from it say they understand what REAL music should be and can do!!
Memories , this one brings back lots of memories.
The Bee Gees first tried out the falsetto in "Nights on Broadway". It's very much worth a listen, and a great look into how they developed their sound and where they came from. Incredible track. ♪♪
I gotta check that out 💯
Yes the vocals where in the upper registers, but not falsetto. It is called 'head' voice, which is much clearer and has the power falsetto cannot deliver.
Thank you, I love that song and had no idea that their signature high pitch came from it.
Love nights on Broadway!
Thank you for that beautiful tribute.
I'm glad to hear another generation appreciates the beautiful music of the Bee Gees.😅
The first new Billboard #1 in January of 1979. I was only 27 years old and made the rounds to the discos,.......... the Brothers were always my favorite guys.
I'm 47, and this is one of my favorite songs from them. This just melts my mind, body, and soul, delivering me into a state of pure bliss. When I was younger, my precious mother would put Bee Gees music on and hold me; sometimes she would comb my hair. I'm blessed to still have her with me, and I now play this music on my phone, and we watch videos of them while I comb her hair. Beautiful, nostalgic memories. This song gives me the feeling that everything is going to be okay in my life. That's what their music does to me. For me, this music is heaven on earth. Thank you for your honest reaction to a classic from True Legends. God bless you and all who are watching and listening. Enjoy everyone!🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼🥰
This song and Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) are my absolute favorite Bee Gees songs. So emotional and soulful.
Quincy Jones called FBTWML the most beautiful R&B song ever written.
The BeeGees were exceptional; pure talent; their voices blended so well
It doesnt matter witch song you wright in your lifetime , you never will find such 3 Brothers with this Voices who sing it like they are in harmony , never .
I'm 71 now, but I remember seeing the Bee Gees in 1968 in LA at a fantastic concert where they sang their early songs which I love to this day. Really great memories of their amazing harmonies!!
I turned 70 last month. 90% of my iTunes library is music from the 1970s. I can’t believe it was 50 years ago. There was always somebody having a party or discotheques where you could dance all night with women in dresses and men in suits. My,my, my, things have changed. And not for the better.
YOU GOT IT!
This is why our generation was a much happier one. You are exactly right. It's all about you frequencies. It reacts on our soul
Paul McCartney and indeed the middle dude "Barry Gibb" the best falsetto of all time - from the Bee Gees. The most talented songwriters in music history - their songwriting is simply from a another planet - quote by Elton John 🍾🔥🪐
All three brothers wrote most of their songs, not just Barry. He always gets all the credit. Sad.
@@susieq9801 Guiness Book of Records see this otherwise, there he is marked as best songwriter of all time together with Paul McCartney
@@MischaGER - That's wonderful BUT look at the LP liner notes and see whose names are on 90% of the song credits. Everyone seems to think Barry wrote everything and his brothers were some kind of back up act which upsets me. Even songs like "Guilty" and "Woman in Love" for Streisand, ""Chain Reaction" for Diana Ross, "Islands in the Stream for Rogers, "Emotion" for Samantha Sang, "Immortality" for Celine Dion, etc. either Barry and Robin Gibb or all three brothers. Maurice was by far the best musician and did most of the arrangements. Barry wrote most of the songs when they were young because the twins were over three years younger but they soon caught up. The other brothers also wrote for other people eg, Robin and Blue Weaver wrote the big hit "Hold on to my love" for Jimmy Ruffin. Mo and Robin wrote songs for Robin's several great solo LP's.
I find Barry doesn't always make great efforts to dissuade people from thinking he wrote everything. Meanwhile he gets knighted and is "Sir". 😒 What about Robin's musical and philanthropic work? What about Mo's? All did philanthropic work. All sang and composed.
Note - Elton said "Their songwriting is simply from another planet". THEIR SONGWRITING.
Was Barry great? Sure, but so were Rob and Mo and where is there recognition?
I agree ... the best falsetto at the time and for a long time...but...a new voice has taken "Emotion" from Destiny's Child, recorded all the parts and blown many away. Gabriel Henrique of Brazil he does not speak English but is learning. Tell me what you think.
ua-cam.com/video/AEdGV86XpcQ/v-deo.html
Paul McCartney 🤣 NO just NO I'm sorry. Best falsetto ever was Barry Gibb ....2nd place goes to Frankie Valli of the four seasons.
Glad you appreciate beautiful music. The late 50s, 60s, 70s & even into the 80s was a wonderful time to grow up as far as music is concerned. We were very lucky!
You don't know the music you missed in 70's -80's!! The Bee Gees we're incredible..The most harmonic group of guys in music! Who didn't love these guys?
I just subscribed for the respect you gave when you said you see why older folks say today's music isn't music. No voice machines, no filters, no cursing, no worshiping Satan and down talking God, no killing or robbing.... just pure... honest... real... honest music.
Much love to you for your acknowledgement of what true talent is. And though you're right - there are many ways to express yourself....I just don't understand why we have to worry about what music our kids are listening to. They say when you enter heaven you hear music. Music should be ethereal, angelic...even rock with true talent can be honest and good, well back then it was. And Motown.....ugh Motown! The Temptations, the Four Tops, Smokey Robinson..... and that was in the 70s as well. 90s was the last Era for real music. The 70s was the last Era for pure honest music. And oh how I miss it. It hurts my heart it'll never be that way again.
These brothers had over a thousand songs written and sung by themselves from the 60s to 2003 when Mo passed. They also wrote for many other artists. These 3 and their younger brother Andy who passed away very young just as he was about to join the BeeGees were all phenomenal talents with craxy vocal range.
Bee Gees are more than amazing..listen to More than a woman and How deep is your love... you will not be able to breathe....
The Bee Gees were the greatest ever! Their music touches your heart and soul!! Perfection! Watch Fanny be tender with my love!
I was raised with 70s and 80s music and I feel so very lucky!!!!!
If you are just discovering the Bee Gees you have so much beautiful music to enjoy. They were, and are still, incredible. I can only imagine how much Barry misses his twin brothers. By the way thank you for playing the whole song before speaking.
MUST HEAR Early Classics,, The Bee Gees "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" & "I Started A Joke"
The BeeGees where amazing. They will forever be in history as one of the best artists ever. Dive into more of their music. You will be surprised. Thank you for reacting to them.
The Bee Gee were absolutely beautiful singers the voices were absolutely amazing they had so much feelings in the songs and emotions. I feel sad for Berry he is the last of them to be alive he has buried his 3 younger brothers.
And your reaction was "beautiful and amazing." Glad you enjoyed the BeeGees. They have plenty more for you to love. 👍
