Barry and Robin wrote this after Robin left the band for a while. This song and lonely days were the result of reforming the BeeGees. It was expressing how they felt while separated.
No autotune. No gimmicks. Just God given talent and hard work. Adore them.
One of my favorite Bee Gees songs! They are legendary!
Love love love Robin's voice.
I absolutely love 💕 Robin’s voice 💕 the Bee Gees all together make beautiful music 🎶 there will never be another group that’s sings together so beautifully 🎶
thanks for this! Robin has always been my favorite -- Barry is the amazing "leader" in most of their songs (big brother) - but Maurice is so under-rated.. he could hit any of those notes on any day of the week, too - and played a lot of instruments as well...
I agree. It's a shame Maurice didn't get much opportunity to use his falsetto in a solo capacity. Though I do think that the main reason for it was because, although Maurice could sing higher then both of his brothers, he had a harder time sustaining it then all of them. I wonder what it would have been like if Maurice had honed his falsetto to the degree that Barry had. Would have been interesting!
@@Erizedd I always felt
MO was happiest playing instruments, especially bass,
at which he was considered a
Master. HE was gifted a personal bass, by John Lennon so he wasn't too underrated. He also enjoyed
all the production work of putting it all together. No doubt though, he could sing as well. I LOVE ALL OF THEM!
❤❤❤ I’m sure by now you know they got their due - but for the record they were the third most successful band in Billboard Top 100 (9 number 1 hits), were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame (their most prized award), Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Broadcast Music Hall of Fame, won five Grammy awards, written over a thousand songs, sold over a quarter billion records, and thousands have recorded their songs. and so much more. #BeeGeeFanForever ❤❤❤
"To Love Somebody" is their song too. Try it. As for Robin he's perfect. "i Started a Joke" and Massachusetts" perfect Robin vocals.
All great recommendations. I would say the 1967 black and white tv performance of TO LOVE SOMEBODY, and the live 1989 performances of the other two. Absolute perfection!!
Bee Gees are AMAZING. I honestly thing all reactor should be REQUIRED to hear them. I am excited to continue my journey to discover more music for them. I will add that to my list today! Thank you!
Excellent choices.
I love this song. These guys are legendary.
Lonely Days is another masterpiece of this era
No one ever tells you about the sorrow, do they? You're young, and everything's beautiful, and then...
If you lived through the Bee Gees period, you MUST love them!
I think Robin and Barry’s voices are a perfect complement to each other. Robin has a fast, tremulous vibrato and pure tone while Barry’s voice is richer with a much slower vibrato. Like two sides of the same voice, when they sing in unison, as in the chorus of Fanny, it’s almost impossible to hear them as separate voices, the blend is so amazing. I like hearing them sing separately but it’s magic when they join forces.
1000% agree with you!! I always feel incredibly happy specifically listening to Bee Gees songs where Barry and Robin take turns singing verses and then coming together in the chorus, ad-libbing together, etc - as you said, there's something magical about it, and I think it feels like a bit of a soothing balm against how they clashed outside of music. When I listen to those songs it feels like it's what was truly important and meant to be. As individuals they didn't like each other that much, but it's clear that beneath it all the two of them _loved_ and respected each other a _hell of a lot_ : blood runs deep, and you can't erase the shared experiences of hardship and sticking together while growing up.
Legendary song. Legendary singers. Legendary songwriters!
I adore these guys. Precious song. Robin can blow. They sing with such raw emotion!!!
Thanks, always loved this song with Mo's huge bass playing. Appreciate highly your detailed comments. This track was their first US N°1
That song playing was used on Saturday Night Fever. Which kicked off John Travolta, Bee Gees wrote the music for that film and the songs. WITHOUT SEEING THE FILM.
THE FILM WAS HUGE.
Maurice pronounced his name as Morris - - To be a Bee Gee's "insider" you MUST know this. 😊
This particular song was their first AFTER reuniting from their 15 month split in late 69/early 70. They also did "Lonely Days" that evening - both songs going to #1. Listen to lyrics of both songs and it tells you how they split up and the affect it had on them!
Aaah the olden days when audiences sat as if they were watching a scene from a Shakespeare play 😉😂
The bee gees were born on the Isle of man and grew up in Chorlton cum Hardy in my hometown of Manchester England before emigrating to Australia when they were kids.
We are more than conquers through Jesus Christ our Lord God Bless
What? Stop trolling videos. This has nothing to do with whatever message you're trying to send. Let us just enjoy what we're watching this for.
Only one Bee Gee left is Barry. There was a 4th Andy, but he died very young. Barry had to bury 3 brother.
@A Word from Pres or is it Patrick? This reaction is very well produced! It's like a documentary. From your intro, the split screen, the graphics, the historical content, everything! Plus, as a Boomer, I really appreciate your comments. SUBSCRIBE!
One of the best groups of all time.
I love Al Green. But, never was a big fan of Al Greens' cover of this song. This is and will always be a Bee Gees song.
Run to me is a very good one. Harmonies are of course excellent!
One of their best ballads is “Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)”. Their best dance song Imho is “You Should Be Dancing “.
Just Beautiful!!! Both versions Bee Gees and AL Green....
Their older sister, Leslie, was part of the group in the beginning. She's also the oldest in the family. She lives in Australia with hubby and their 7 or 8 children & many grandchildren. She and hubby breed a particular type of dog. There was also the youngest brother, Andy, who was not part of the Bee Gees, but after he finished the contract he was in.. .they had plans to bring him into the group..unfortunately, he passed away before that could happen. The 3 boys died in the reverse order of their birth, youngest to oldest ( Robin was 30 minutes older than Maurice). Very sad. They were all extremely talented. Barry wrote the first 5 (at least 5) of Andy's songs, all went to #1. Andy was practically a clone of Barry..he had so much potential. Never will there be a group of song writers or singers the likes of the Gibb brothers.
You might be interested in Bee Gees "Heart Like Mine", which features Robin on lead vocals and is one of their most beautiful songs!
YES!
'Heart Like Mine' is the perfect song to listen to if you want to hear how well Robin brought out emotion in his singing. It's just absolute chef's kiss. :)
The Bee Gees were Big internationally. Originally from England but the family went to Australia when the brothers were still children. There was a fourth brother, too young to be included in the Bee Gees. Andy Gibb carved out a singing career for himself, but struggled with drug addiction & sadly died five days after this 30th birthday. Robin & Maurice, the twins, both died some years ago, leaving the oldest, Barry Gibb, as the sole survivor. All four brothers had good singing voices & harmonised beautifully together. They had quite a number of smash hits internationally.
As you become more acquainted with the Bee Gees bro you’ll know that they have a massive back catalogue stretching back to the 1960’s and long before they earned the label Disco kings thanks to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. And yes apart from the myriad of hits for themselves they have produced and written hit songs with other artists too. They produced an album in the 1980’s for Dionne Warwick called Heartbreaker which spawned the song if the same title which they wrote and which Dionne wasn’t sold on but recorded it anyway trusting the Bee Gees confidence that it was a hit in waiting. Thankfully it proved the biggest commercial success for Dionne that decade. The Bee Gees were also behind one of the biggest duets which featured Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers who recorded Islands In The Stream, another Bee Gees creation!
And although it didn’t do as well on the Billboard Hot 100 the Bee Gees were behind a substantial hit for Diana Ross in the 80’s, Chain Reaction!!
One of my favourite Bee Gees tracks beside’ DW’s heartbreaker is their 80’s ‘comeback’ record, You Win Again 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸
I hope you listen to there younger brother andy who we lost at age 30
I’m a Barry fan big time.
Now you have found the wonderful Bee Gees. Incredible voices and songwriting. I particularly adore their pre disco music. Some favourites of mine are Spicks & Pecks, Massachusetts, I started a Joke and Lonely days is considered an anthem to many of their fans. 💕💕💕
Enjoyed your commentary on this song as well as your reaction. Thank you!
Young man you have the most beautiful speaking voice . I could just watch your channel just to listen to your voice. Love your channel.
The Bee Gees also had a baby brother Andy Gibb who had a solo career in the 70's. He passed away years before Maurice and Robin. Barry is the only brother still living. They all were amazing.
Just subscribed… love The Bee Gees. Follow them all over YT. Start my day with a YT Bee Gees search for all of the latest reactions. Can’t get enough of seeing the looks on the faces of all of you first timers. Time for you all to get BeeGeed.
The Bee Gees are/were a GREAT group but unfortunately America turned on them after the "Saturday Night Fever" disco era....they didn't start disco nor were they a disco group....if you listen closely you can tell their music is mostly R & B. They really liked the R &B vibe. The song "To love Somebody" was written by the Bee Gees for Otis Redding but he died in a plane crash before he could record it so they recorded it.
In 1969 the Bee Gees broke up because of a dispute about which song should be the A side on their single from the album Odessa.
Should it be First Of May with Barry on lead or Lamplight with Robin on lead. Their manager choose First Of May and Robin said "I've Had it" and left the group.
Ofcourse there had problems for some time between the ego's of Barry and Robin but this was the final straw.
In 1970 they sat down together to try to straight things out and on that day they wrote this song which became their first US number 1 and Lonely Days which is another big hit for them.
Lonely Days was released as a single and on their album 2 Years On from 1970 and How Can You Mend A Broken heart was released as a single and on their album Trafalgar from 1971.
Maurice is pronounced Morris. I never knew this until I heard his mother say his name. These guys are absolutely amazing! They don’t have a bad song.
Yes!! I think another fan of Bee Gees corrected me. I had no idea it was pronounced that way. :) I am seeing that Bee Gees have no bad songs myself. :)
In 1971, those twins, Robin & Maurice were only 22 years old. Barry was 25 but they began harmonizing and performing at the age of 7 for the twins. So these guys were veterans. This song was a mending fence after they had a fallout.
Actually 21 here since I share their birthday. 😊 Born in December.
So beautiful,pure magic ❤❤❤
I highly highly recommend Fanny (be tender with my love). For me it's their best. Please put it on your list :) Cheers. Oh and I enjoy your reactions!
60’ss, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!
Another
Bee Gees masterpiece
During the 70's, an anti disco movement popped up seemingly overnight. The BeeGees music were trashed (truly a shame). HOWEVER! They wrote some of the greatest hits for other artists. Off the top of my head they wrote "Island in the Stream" performed by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers and many more. They truly are legends!
BeeGee wrote this song
Yes, Maurice and Robin are fraternal twins. However, the Bee Gees have a younger brother named Andy. Andy and Barry could be twins! They both have those falsettos and they look a lot alike. Unfortunately, Andy died right after his 30th birthday from heart problems.
I love Andy as well, he and Barry are so similar in style and voice it like watching the Bee Gee next generation! ANDY IS
DEFINITELY WORTH CHECKING OUT!
Love your reactions Patrick!! You’re awesome!
@@TheWilsontm Thank you. Just discovered Andy. I like his voice and style. I did a reaction of him and Gladys Knight. But, I have a Christmas reaction on Andy coming soon. 😊
Wow. He was so young and talented 🙏🏾😩
Love Al too!
Run to me
Holiday
Fanny be tender
Love you inside and out
Love the BeeGees!
Enjoy your carefully thought through reactions. You know of what you speak. Please try Fanny be tender with my love. I think you'll love it. Impossible not to really. You Win Again, official Run to Me...so many.
Pat, just came across your wonderful channel and immediately subscribed to it! I've been a huge fan since they came on the scene in 1967 (I'm 68) and just love to see young people enjoy our precious Bee Gees like we did decade after decade. And, thank you, for appreciating Robin and Maurice as well as big brother Barry. They were magic together with their perfect harmonies but each brother had a unique voice and sang fantastic leads throughout their amazing career as the best group ever! Please focus on Robin (my favorite Bee Gee) in the late 60's by reacting to any or all of the following: "I Started a Joke" and "Massachusetts" both from their '89 Melbourne concert and "I Can't See Nobody" and "And the Sun Will Shine" both from their 1974 Melbourne concert. These four songs will give you great insight into Robin's beautiful voice and show you just how fantastic this group was from the very beginning. They continued to sing their early songs throughout the years because their fans so appreciated their very early hits. Again, thank you, and I can't wait to see what I've missed so far.
Laurie Barnes - OK, it's official, we're stalking each other, LOL! As usual agree with all you've said!
Linda Canção! Banda fantástica! ❤❤❤❤👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
The Bee Gees stands for The Brothers Gibb. Maurice is pronounced like Morris. You should check out their baby brother, Andy Gibb. He had the talent just like his brothers. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 30.
Love the Bee Gees would love to see you react to For whom the bell tolls beautiful song and also please do Now or Never by Elvis please
Thanks for this. I appreciate your intelligent commentary. I grew up in the 70s and didn't appreciate their music as much as I do today. They have a deep wealth of songs that most people have never heard. I love the Bed Gees!
Their string of hitsongs in the sixties: 'Spicks And Specks', Barry on lead, 'New York Mining Desaster 1941', both on lead, but lil more Robin, 'To Love Somebody', Barry on lead, 'Massachusetts', more Robin on lead, 'World', sang together but lil more Barry on lead, 'Words', Barry on lead, 'I've Gotta Get A Message To You', lil more Robin on lead, 'I Started A Joke', Robin on lead, 'First Of May', Barry on lead. Equality reigns over all! So don't believe in some of those comments, always pronouncing, Robin was their dominant leadsinger in the sixties. Wether on their singles, nor on their albums! Just nearly a fifty/fifty thing. And that's a fact and also it's perfect. Both of them are phantastic. Maurice too! No brother over the other in case of being better. I'm feeling very comfortable with my situation, so I can really enjoy every song of the bros. Gibb, which ever saw the light of day. Mustn't always cry out loud BARRY, BARRY, BARRY or ROBIN, ROBIN, ROBIN. Also I love every leadvocals of Maurice and the songs, Andy sang.
Just a quick comment or hit the bed you're one of my favorite reaction people because you would like about half a dozen or so others that you really enjoyed great music because I can see it in your eyes your expression your your body reactions when you're listening to it and actually when you're talkin about it your voice I can feel it in your voice and I think it's a really great thing because you're taken three-and-a-half decades I love growing up and introducing it to a brand new generation in the way you package reactions and I think that's a wonderful thing so thank you and I got to go get some sleep so peace out.
Thank you for this. I loved these guys so much in High School (and continue to LOVE their songs.)
As you have seen the deets of this song, I have one more to add: they wrote it in an hour after they got back together after Robin quit for an extended period.
Massachusetts • Robin
The way they decided who sings, whoever brings in a idea for a song can sing it, or anyone else can.. very fair!!! Maurice like to concentrate on his instruments.. mainly Barry & Ribbon butt heads at 19yrs for Robin 22 yrs for Barry.. there was also outside influences saying you don’t need him then tell the other you don’t need him.. luckily Robin came to Barry and wanted to stay with bee gee .. after 15 months and they both had a number 1 and 2 records.. 🤣 so that’s that.. very funny Maurice was the man in the middle he’d get it from both Barry &Robin .. however he said no one said you don’t need them … 😂 there journey from Isle of Man (born) to England then to Australia then back to England then America .. america changed their lives!!!!!!
This song was written by The Bee Gees
Miss them !!!
Robin had left the group for 15 months and they worked it out to try to do another album.. they was together in a chateaux in London.. this song was written in a few hrs.. this songs is very important to them as it was a emotional song as the group was getting back together.. brothers Barry & Maurice has a little beef, while Maurice was the peace keeper..
Maurice looks so so handsome in this video my goodness!
This song came out about 1965 old bee gees thier music style changed when Disco stepped on stage with Saturday Night, John Travolta....
This song came out in 1971. They were still living in Australia and had no hits in 1965. The twins would have been only 15 in 1965.
A little back story about the Bee Gees and this song. The Bee Gees for group for several years and the late 60s and early seventies when all of a sudden the record industry cost of Rift between the band members because Robin in the original beginning of the Bee Gees was almost always the lead singer and then when Barry started coming on and singing his falsetto all of a sudden he got these two great singers so the record industry tries to break them up so that they can have solo Stars. And for I don't know two or three years they were broken up and there was a lot of bad blood between Robin and Barry caused by the record industry they found out or I should I say Robin found out that that solo way wasn't working so good for him and the group kind of made peace and got back together again and this was their very first or one of their very first songs once the group rejoined again and they were never separated from that time on. I know you like to know anything you can learn about groups and songs and things like that and I thought you would enjoy that backstory because only a few people really knew about it because they weren't real big yet then you had to really be a Bee Gees fan to know about it and you know it two or three-year break up like that didn't seem like it was anything because a lot of groups sometimes take two or three years between hits so anyway I thought you would find this interesting.
You should react to Maurice’s leads as well: Closer than close, Wildflower, etc.
Above and Beyond is a great Mo lead.
SO MANY YOUNG people falling in love with songs these days 🤣🤣🤣 only to find that some other artist (on more than many occasions, it was the Bee Gees - they wrote SO many songs) has written it previously. This was written after a falling out between Robin and Barry when they got back together. Another INCREDIBLY beautiful song was written by Barry and sung by all three brothers after their younger brother Andy died. Listen to the results of that calamity in their song: "I'll Kiss Your Memory", you won't be disappointed.
Also 'Wish You Were Here'. I agree, they're just heartbreaking, and perfect.
@@ErizeddAnother beautiful song on the same album as Wish You Were Here is TEARS! That one gets me every time & lyrics are all about Andy.😪
The Bee Gees could sing and play R&B, folk, rock, gospel, country. the 6th biggest selling artists of all time and number 3 in the billboard hot 100 next to the Supremes & Beatles. I'm the Spring of "78" they gad 5 hits in the top 10 at once.
i first heard the Bee Gees in 1966 singing Masachusus. It was a huge hit and that was the start. Brilliant. Maurice Gibb was married to LULU in the uk and Barry Gibb made an LP with Streisand called Guilty.
That's tricky. Massachusetts wasn't recorded until August of 1967 and released in September of 1967.
Massively under appreciated.
Ok this song here believe it or not micheal Jackson and barry gribb where very good friends Michael used to get barry to sing that song to mr jackson and they would get drunk together...that is a true story came from barry hisself in a interview ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's another video of them playing this song and that's the one I was talking bout that Barry is so 🔥 in it
Is that the one from their '79 Spirits tour?🔥
Beautifully done. This is one of my favorite videos.
Your love for music is awesome.
They play multiple instruments! Add !that talent to using their voices as instruments is a God given talent
President Pat Maurice pronounced his name Morris. Happy I found your channel. Love your format
Perfectly analysed !
both versions are excellent
take a look at closer than close by the Bee Gees in the album Still Water
I love Al Greens version but the Bee Gees original is unique and beautiful. Robin Gibbs lead vocals are beautiful. He is a much underrated vocalist.
They also wrote “lonely days” at the same time, both this snd lonely days were about them missing each other (after their 15 month breakup). You should check it out as well. Oh, there is another killer song they did around the same time called “ Run to me”. : ua-cam.com/video/40N22AG-Sag/v-deo.html ( 1972 live)

Oh, BTW--Maurice is pronounced “ Morris “, he was also called Mo.
I was 10 when this came out. It’s probably the first song I heard from them. They are so talented but if you follow their life time of music, you can tell they really gave it their all. They wanted to be the best. It was their dream as little kids. I love Al’s version of this but the original touches my soul. Speaking of Al Green, his “Let’s Stay Together “ is flawless and perfect. If you haven’t heard it check it at.
VERY GOOD!! REACT FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLLS LIVE BEE GEES 1993..
Maurice is pronouced Morris. Australian boys is British which has Morris.
I don't know if you know this but not one of them could read or write music. Also Maurice is pronounced Morris and he has in my opinion the most talent of all of them. Check out Man in Middle that is one of his solo performances. You can hear a country side of Maurice.
Oh really? It’s pronounced Morris? Yikes! Had no idea 🤦🏾♂️. Thank you!
Maurice plays keyboards well & is a beast on bass
Ill take the Bee Gees for 1 million Alex
FYI, Maurice’s name is pronounced like “Morris”
Maurice’s name is pronounced as "Morris."
Robin song also juliet
👏🤜👏
If you really like Robin, check out SHE KEEPS ON COMIN.
A really great early hit, you should check out...I started a joke
Sorry. BeeGee wrote this and I think they do it best!
WHO THEY WERE!
They are fraternal twins, not identical twins.
Maurice is pronounced Morris!
barry gibb not in love at all
