@duke To be fair, this was before they went disco, and they were disco in quite a few respects. They had at least three distinctive styles through their careers (disco being one), and the last one they had, I can't find a word for it, because it was just a completely different direction, though some of it went back to their roots.
I had heard the Bee Gees How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, and probably one or two others, and they were alright. But when I heard Fanny, it sold me on them COMPLETELY. Then I started buying their albums and found many songs they song as album fodder, was very good as well, though they did have some dogs. They've been my favorite group of all time.
@duke If you can't listen to the Saturday Night Fever album, one of the best selling of all time, and not conclude many of the Bee Gee songs weren't disco, when indeed in the film, the music was used in a discotheque, I don't know what to tell you. You're the only Bee Gee devotee I ever heard of that thinks they didn't do disco. Just look at their clothes, as well, during that period, and also look at them before that period, and after, and the conclusion is easy, unless you just want to block it out of your mind. Sorry, if you think disco sucks, it did only so much - it's not a disgrace.
Dereck, the falsetto is Maurice. Barry has said during interviews that Maurice did the falsetto for this and Lights on Broadway, as well. That's why we have proof that Maurice has a great falsetto. The phrasing of Tender, Tender in background is unique sounding because it's the so multi-talented Maurice, who is so humble and doesn't flaunt his important contribution to this amazing group. WOW OH WOW. I LOOOVE THESE GUYS.
Maurice only did the falsetto on Nights when performing live because Barry was singing a lower part, but on the recording Barry is doing the falsetto. This is the song where his falsetto days began.
Maurice has said himself that his voice range ends at a sub-falsetto level. Maurice also spoke about Robin and Barry bouncing their falsetto's off each other and deliberately playing with the fans about who was singing which lead. Maurice often sang as high as he could but always in head voice. Robin sings falsetto on 'Living together' and 'Lovers' and a few others too.
Maurice is hitting some of those high notes , Maurice gets overlooked a lot but he a was very talented singer but they all were amazing they just created amazing music !
@michaeldaugette802. That's also what it seemed like to me as well. In fact I would keep studying those parts to tease out who was doing what when the camera was on Maurice (refreshingly way more than usual btw) Certainly with the deeper parts that was Maurice's voice but then why if he had falsetto mastered didn't he do it in more songs. I just don't get that part .... Definitely one of their greatest, most intense and beautifully produced masterpieces! Take me away Calgon....
@@joeynarciso94listen The Midnight Special in 1975 them singing Nights on Broadway. Maurice is the one doing the high notes falsetto and doing the add-ons. He's excellent. His voice is very good with lots of range. When they performed live it was Maurice covering those parts. It was Barry in the recorded versions. Maurice was a fabulous singer just like his brothers and he always knew exactly where to place his voice for their amazing harmonies. His voice was a perfect blend between Robin's and Barry's. The one thing was that his volume was not as strong as theirs. But he was a master at bass and piano/ keyboard. He also was the lead musical director.
Barry has said that Maurice is doing falsetto in this song. He said it proves Maurice had falsetto voice, as well. So, it was MAURICE who went to those extremely high notes. Wasn't it just marvelous to hear Maurice showcase his multi-talented voice. He isn't given enough credit by fans and experts. He is superb and so humble to not shout out his contributions to their performances. I love his wonderful selflessness. GO Maurice. He also chose name Fanny for song
Recording for "Fanny" took place on 30 January, the same day as "Jive Talkin'", "Songbird", and "All This Making Love". Additional recording took place in February when Barry Gibb began to use his falsetto as a lead vocal in addition to Robin using his falsetto as well sharing the lead on "Fanny" and on backing vocals.
“When we sing songs like... ‘You know how easy it is to hurt me’ ...it’s Barry and Robin singing in unison. But they mesh together so well it sounds like one voice. But it’s a different voice from them separately.” This is the how Maurice Gibb described his brothers harmonies on the song Fanny (Be Tender with My Love). IMO the Bee Gees were the absolute masters of harmony.
Dereck Reacts - Love the dueling falsettos between Robin and Barry @6:52. Each kept pushing the other higher. Maurice was also throwing in falsetto and did most of the high harmonies in many of their songs. The brothers themselves acknowledged Robin had a "killer" vibrato and unique voice. The very last time they sang together at Robin's home before he died, Barry told Robin "Nobody sings like you do" . Robin said "We should get together!", LOL. Robin had the largest "natural" range, 5 octaves. Maurice had tremendous range too from falsetto to low baritone and was also a musical genius who always knew what a song needed as far as the third harmony and right key. He was the glue that prevented the two strong egos of Robin and Barry from killing each other. When Barry and Robin sang together they were at times indistinguishable and at other times provided the perfect contrast to each other for maximum effect. The genetics of brotherhood were strong. Also, their earliest hits in the 60's, the ones that won them international fame, were either sung by Robin ("I started a joke", "I can't see nobody", "Massachusetts", "The Sun will shine", "Close another door", etc.) or sung by Robin and Barry together on lead. Most of their songwriting credits are B Gibb/R Gibb and some are B, R and M Gibb. All three were vital.
I believe Maurice played major role in choosing which instruments and how they were used. A studio keyboard player said that, while recording jive talkin, Maurice went to the horns and sang their part for/to/at them
They could never do this live because it was too difficult. Barry's falsetto is added at the same time he is singing lead with Robin. Their voices sound like one voice.
"FANNY" was their housekeeper that was "staff included" with the house that they rented, when first arriving in Miami, back in the early/mid. 1970's. Barry's voice alone was recorded and added over 20+ times on this track. As You saw (and heard...), all three brothers harmonized together in several ranges on this song - and, Maurice put it best when asked why they never did this track in front of a live audience; "Because it's a bitch to sing!" It's so much fun to watch the reaction of upcoming generations as they first watch and listen to this one - especially, when they realize what a Musical Masterpiece it truly is! They taped "Jive Talking" in this studio, with the same background - another smash hit way back when! GREAT reaction!💕
This is thee VERY FIRST song that the Bee Gees wrote specifically for Barry's falsetto voice. You should give the song Nights on Broadway a listen, that was the song where they discovered Barry can sing in falsetto.
The more you hear this song and the entire Bee Gees catalog, you appreciate the genius of the Gibb brothers with their experimentation with vocals and instruments. In the mid-70's, in was a bit uncommon for a white group to make music like this, but they (and Hall & Oates) brought blue-eyed soul to the mainstream.
Fanny was a lady that used to be their housekeeper, so it’s kinda a mention of her. And you’re right, there’s no lead singer to this song, it’s all intricately harmonized!
I just love to see the younger generation react to our music that we all just “took for granted“ back then. It really was great music! I was so lucky to lived it!
I'm always blown away by their chord progressions and the insane things they do with transitions in and out of sections. I think sometimes they've been seriously underrated as composers. Those two bridges that just take the song higher and higher--awesome stuff.
I absolutely LOVE the Bee Gees string of hit albums from the 70's! 1975's "Main Course" 1976's "Children Of The World" 1977's "Saturday Night Fever" & 1979's "Spirits Having Flown"! What can I say other then complete masterpieces!
I know that you freakin out, 😆 because this is their stunning masterpiece from the 1975 main course album, with Barry Robins and Maurice perfect high pitched falsetto harmonies and amazing blended in 16 audio tracks😱 perfectly mixed by Karl Richardson & Legendary Arif Mardin. As Barry told their instrumentally most complex and difficult song, but it is for sure one of their best song impossible to cover and praised as their best from Quincy Jones, Benny Andersson (ABBA) & Paul McCartney
"We had a housecleaner named Fanny when we stayed at 461 Ocean Blvd. [in North Miami Beach] during the making of Main Course . We were sitting in the lounge at Critera [Studios] writing the song with the lyric idea, 'Be tender with my love'. Maurice turned round and saw Fanny and said, 'Wouldn't it be a better song if it was a woman's name in there, and you're asking her to be tender?".
One of my favorite Bee Gees songs. But I danced at the Disco to their music in dresses and 6 inch heels. Everyone said Disco sucked but it was such a fun time because we got a new dress every week and ladies and guys looked so hot!
I believe Fanny was the name of the housekeeper in the house they were staying at when recording the Main Course album. They had most of the song done, but needed a name, and liked the sound of her name. (at least that's what they said in an interview - but they were know for lots of joking around during interviews.)
Robin sang lead many times, especially on their 60s hits, Massachusetts, etc. But also 80s and 90s. Bodyguard, For Whom The Bell Tolls., When He's Gone, This Is Where I Came In.
Fanny is a very popular name in the south with the African Americans particularly in those days. Fanny was the name of their black housekeeper that they were very fond of.....That information can be found on Bee Gees official website. Needless to say, i love the song. Both of my grandmothers name is Fanny. Great channel
So much talent singing and writing. It was an absolute insult during the latter 70's when there were "BeeGee Free" radio stations. I can assure you that no one remembers those who boycotted the BeeGees. Compelling artists that have aspects of their music rediscovered and re-appreciated by a new generation. I love how young people can't believe what they are hearing is real.
Barry has stated in an interview that Fanny was not a lover, but their housekeeper for some time! and this song isn't about any one woman at all, but when writing the song Maurice thought a name was important. So they asked Fanny if they could use her name in the song. She felt honored that they would do that. Maurice, is vastly overlooked but stands as an amazing talent in his own right. So important to the group as a whole, but individually had the chops too!
The guys were a force of nature in music. The productions they did, couldn't read music. The number of songs, the genres they wrote bc many were sung by other singers. How many albums??? songs 1,000+?? Holy bananas ....
Take a listen to one of their early songs. To love somebody it's another one of their greats. And so is for whome the bell tolls, Robin sings his heart out on that song.
Thanks for reading the notes on this song. And yes, Fanny used to be a popular British girl's name back in the day! Great reaction! ❤ Every song on the Main Course album is gold.❤
I think, Barry said, he first knew he could do the falsetto when they needed something for Nights On Broadway. And I think I remember reading Baby As You Turn Away was the first time they did an entire song in falsetto...leads and backing vocals. All this off the Main Course album.
FANNY and LOVE SO RIGHT are probably my two favorite Bee Gees songs. There are some others right up there, as well, including RUN TO ME and I STARTED A JOKE.
This is around the time they were recording Nights On Broadway and the manager or producer wanted someone to scream at the end and that's when Barry discovered his falsetto. He had no idea he could sing like that and it became their signature sound.
This is one of my favourite BG songs. Never can I get tired listening to this song eversince I first heard it 20 years ago. I read about an interview with Maurice Gibb in which he mentioned that this song was a 'bitch' (meaning that this song is very difficult to be sung). Guess it was not sang in their lives concert due to the complexity and the many layers of falsetto involved !
Best Gee Gees song, ever!!!
Whoa! Amazing Vocal Olympics ❤ !!!!!
Massive Bee Gees fan here … ‘Fanny’ is consistently my favourite Bee Gees song
This is what you can do if you start as children and have boatloads of talent.
Quincy Jones said this was the most perfect RnB track he’d ever heard

👍👍
When Barry and Robin sing together it just sounds like Barry singing.
all 3 of them did multiple vocal takes showing the various ranges they had. This is my fav bee gees track
It is so beautifully crafted. A masterpiece.
It is kinda sad they don't perform this live because of how complicated the song was. It seems like all of them sang falsetto here.
I love this music! Bee Gees forever
The Bee Gees were simply the best, no matter what they're singing.❤❤❤

Musical geniuses with voices of velvet!
Fanny was their housekeeper. First the tune was called Be Tender With My Love, and then Fanny walked in and the rest is history!
Wow, wow, wow!!! One of my all time favorites!
Incredible vocal range. No one ever could create such a perfect masterpiece like they could. Angels!
My undisputed favorite Bee Gees masterpiece.
The deep chest voice is Barry...
I love your Bee Gees reviews! Yes, it is hard to recover after hearing them sing masterpiece after masterpiece!

That confuses me because in one video I saw it was Maurice was doing the falsetto in the 2nd half of the song.
@@ANNEAVES Maurice in the live version because Barry couldn’t sing the lead and the falsetto cries. Studio version is Barry both lead and falsetto.
Keep going down this road many many songs go for it enjoy.

Main Course, is packed with good stuff. Jive Talking, Nights On Broadway, Fanny Be Tender, Winds Of Change, Baby As You Turn Away...all great stuff.
I agree. Fabulous album, musical perfection.
100% agree.
Their very best work in my humble opinion. Every song....Brilliant!!!!❤️
Awesome album

It was actually covered by a Bee Gees tribute band in Florida in 2009. Pretty amazing cover too ua-cam.com/video/NxLxCqFRvjQ/v-deo.html
Morris! They are all taking turns singing all pats!!
Although not one of their biggest hits, it's one of my favorites of theirs.
I love all Bee Gee songs and I love and had a big crush on Andy Gibb the younger brother who passed away.
"We had a housecleaner named Fanny when we stayed at 461 Ocean Blvd. [in North Miami Beach] during the making of Main Course . We were sitting in the lounge at Critera

A lot of people were named Fanny in the old days. LOL.
omg Fanny is my JAMMMM
lol, the word you are looking for is "delicious."

My favorite song!!! They are one of a kind! And harmonies that will never be heard again! Another good one is Run to me!
1 of faves & back then (well, few yrs later since I was still pretty young in '75) loved but didn't know they sang it &;Mo 😍☺️
Run To Me is an amazing song!
"GOALASO"! :) Go Bananas! 🥳 Another Fantastic Derreck Reaction 🤘
I can't believe Maurice can sing while playing those incredible bass parts. Amazing.
I thought I was the only one to notice the AMAZING bass lines on this song. It’s out of this world. Just brilliant!
Bass line here is not from our planet. This can't be made by human. What a perfection omg!
The whole Spirits Having Flown album is great!

They had most of the song done, but needed a name, and liked the sound of her name. (at least that's what they said in an interview - but they were know for lots of joking around during interviews.)
All joking aside, yes, she was a real person. Saw her photo on a fan site announcing she died several years back. Forever immortalized in song.
Robin sang lead many times, especially on their 60s hits, Massachusetts, etc. But also 80s and 90s. Bodyguard, For Whom The Bell Tolls., When He's Gone, This Is Where I Came In.
One of my all time favorites. Dang. They can blow! Gives me goosebumps, Every. Single. Time!!!
Fanny was an adorable name back in the day. No one thought of butts when hearing it back then. Different time in our country.
Fanny is a very popular name in the south with the African Americans particularly in those days.

God given gifts! A little Bee Gees trivia, None of the brothers could read music.
I love your discriptions "THEY SLAUGHTERED IT!" Ha ha. You're Funny!
So much talent singing and writing. It was an absolute insult during the latter 70's when there were "BeeGee Free" radio stations.

One of my favorite Bee Gees songs hands down from the 70s. The harmoniesare outstanding.
Your reaction is PRICELESS!
The late 60's Bee Gees are my favorite. But Early 70's Bee Gees are amazing, late 70s amazing, 80's amazing, its all incredible.
Fantastic, pure, soul reaction! Isn’t it an amazing song. It has always been my favorite song of theirs…and they have so many great ones.🌹
Their early hits like Massachusetts and I Started A Joke had Robin on lead.
Just where I came In ! Is Great 👌 Listen to that ! DERICK YOUR REACTION IS TO MUCH FUN 💯🙏🤣
Take a listen to one of their early songs. To love somebody it's another one of their greats. And so is for whome the bell tolls, Robin sings his heart out on that song.
It's actually Robin who hits the highest falsetto. He was fantastic and led on several early hits.
Exactly
Certainly one of their finest!!💙
Thanks for reading the notes on this song. And yes, Fanny used to be a popular British girl's name back in the day! Great reaction! ❤ Every song on the Main Course album is gold.❤
This was around the time that Barry started using that signature falsetto. And that wasn't just Barry doing that super high falsetto.
Yes, there is a clip of Maurice talking about how Barry and Robin sang this together, and the two voices together made a third voice.
I think, Barry said, he first knew he could do the falsetto when they needed something for Nights On Broadway. And I think I remember reading Baby As You Turn Away was the first time they did an entire song in falsetto...leads and backing vocals. All this off the Main Course album.
@@jamesbachmann7376 The harmonies on the chorus of ‘Baby As You Turn Away’ are absolutely fantastic!
This song is a homerun in my book, it has everything. Great choice and reaction.
Dereck, you are definitely my favorite!!!!
Holy shit. They’re freaking amazing!
FANNY and LOVE SO RIGHT are probably my two favorite Bee Gees songs. There are some others right up there, as well, including RUN TO ME and I STARTED A JOKE.
Love so Right is so overlooked to me. It is such a beautiful song!
I love how you love these angels!❤
Bee Gees -" Love So Right"
This is an absolute masterpiece
Their drummer Dennis Bryon said this was his favorite Bee Gees song.
Fantastic
One of my all time favorite Bee Gees song and I absolutely loved your running commentary
Virtuosismi e impasto delle voci... MAGNIFICO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇮🇹❤️
My favorite Bee Gees song
The Bee Gees had a little brother, Andy Gibb, who unfortunately died young. He was also just as talented.
My grandmother on my mother's side was named Fanny Kathleen... Born in 1914, *died at 97* in 2011!
This is around the time they were recording Nights On Broadway and the manager or producer wanted someone to scream at the end and that's when Barry discovered his falsetto. He had no idea he could sing like that and it became their signature sound.
Their baritones are gorgeous.
They take turns. Yes, they switch with the falsetto.
Do "Spirits having flown" as well.
Barry says Robins falsettos are higher than his!!
You have been officially "bee-geed!"
This is one of my favourite BG songs. Never can I get tired listening to this song eversince I first heard it 20 years ago. I read about an interview with Maurice Gibb in which he mentioned that this song was a 'bitch' (meaning that this song is very difficult to be sung). Guess it was not sang in their lives concert due to the complexity and the many layers of falsetto involved !
Amazing more please ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, one day Robin said to Barry..."Hey, I can do that!"
This song gives me goosebumps...they BRING IT every time. Please check out their song “Nights On Broadway “ next.
This was their mothers favorite. It was so complex they rarely did it live.
This song and your reaction brought a giant smile to my face 😁 So so beautiful. Thank you x
Genius!
