No auto-tune or pitch correction here. Just flawless singing!
EXACTLY!
Young Padawans, take note.
That's for sure! All talent and nothin else
Well said!
I heard a rumour that they did this in one take.
I grew up as a confirmed heavy metal fanatic; there was a period where all of us thought it was cool to put The Bee Gees down: “effeminate, disco, blah blah blah”. Age and maturity have shown me my error. They were brilliant songwriters and singers. When you want to snuggle with your wife on a cold December night, you won’t put on Megadeth, it’ll be the Bee Gees. 😆
That really is wonderful to know.
Hehe, nice. And you're right.
And took so much shit from our fellow metal friends who refused to take the challenge of stepping out their musical comfort zones, not enlightened as those of that took that step and realized that it only added to our musical comfort.
I was never a metal fan. But rock. And 70s we had to be in the closet listening to the BeeGees. This appreciation now is so nice to hear and hearing experts tell me why it’s so great.

This was done live. No editing. No autotune. No retakes. Pure talent. On top of this, all of the proceeds went to a charity of their choice.
From Wiki....
"The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:[6]
Barry on falsetto lead three times
falsetto high harmony three times
falsetto low harmony three times
Barry on natural voice lead three times
high harmony three times
low harmony three times
Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times
high harmony three times
low harmony three times"
hmmm... not what you hear here. Impossible - there are sections when only Robin and Maurice are seen singing, but you hear at least 3 parts. Still, what they did in the studio required some insane skills.
The amazing thing is that this was a rehearsal. When they played it back, they looked at each other and said,"You can't beat that." So they released it.
A ridiculous assertion. This is their most complex studio production, containing 27 layered vocal tracks. It's sonically beautiful, but not live and certainly not a rehearsal.
@@TombCatI see your point but could absolutely see a ‘hey set up the studio with the orchestra today maybe do a few dry runs and hit it strong tomorrow’ might have never needed a take the next day
Bee Gees were pure genius. Their harmonies were outstanding. No other band can get near them.
The Debarge family is similar if not better than them.. Bobby Debarges falsetto is actually better than Barry's and thats hard to do...
I dunno, Queen and The Beatles were pretty good amongst others....
@georgemaxwell3467 I am sorry, but Debarge is not better than the BeeGees. Bobby Debarge may have a better falsetto, but, as a group, it's the BeeGees hands down.
Eagles are a class apart on harmonies
@@georgemaxwell3467🤣Barry was the best!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I miss the 70's so damn much. This song is the literal definition of perfection...
I would say "never a fan of the Bee Gees" would indicate a person has not given them a chance . Growing up in the 1970's we were exposed to them through continuous radio play. They were a mega talented band with a huge list of excellent songs they wrote and performed.
Completely agree. Im only 26 but I grew up listening to all the bands my dad listened to when he was growing up. So The Beatles, The BeeGees, Pink Floyd, Queen, etc. Obviously I have my own tastes now but its always great going back and listening to those bands
The Metallica of their day ! Born 1973 here
Are you seriously implying Beth, a vocal coach, hasn't given much ear time to her music? On her video where she, a much younger woman, is literally giving serious ear time to the Bee Gees?
Or are you just writing letters to yourself in comments, at this point?
Yes. You hit a great point. They've written a lot of great songs.
@@rollomaughfling380 I am saying they put out great music for decades but are often thought of as a "disco band" by many. You sound like quite the hypersensitive one.
Everyone gives Barry so much praise, and well deserved; but let us not sleep on how spot on the twins are as well. Truly amazing voices.
100 percent correct.. They all could have been solo singer but they knew all three together was magic💙
Robin had the best voice out of the 3 but they all sound great
In fact your comment mentioned Barry by name and Maurice and Robin by “the twins” reinforcing your own thoughts.
Maurice gets the least amount of love. But he was amazing coming even his falsetto in the live version of nights on Broadway is quite good
@@albertwesker2283Robin's voice doesn't come close to Barry's many styles of singing!
This song is the greatest harmonization of all time.
I’m not sure how how you wouldn’t want to listen to more Bee gees songs after this performance.
She preferred those with autotone
@@iringyellow4327 I agree
@iringyellow4327 what is autotone?
This song and Tragedy were written in one afternoon. This talent is unreal 😊
These guys have been performing and writing music since 1955. Even as a solo act, Barry is still performing. As far as longevity and their special sound, nobody can hold a candle to the Bee Gees. Considering what they do with their voices, as a vocal coach, you should be a huge fan. No autotune or other crap was ever needed, just pure talent.
The. Beegees. Are. Pure. Talent no. Autotune. God. Bless. Them
Randy Newman said, the Bee Gees were the most professional group he ever worked with. When the Bee Gees hit the studio they were totally prepared and knew exactly what they wanted and how to get it.
Three brothers voices that are perfect harmony
Seriously, you've got to wonder how many people owe a debt of gratitude to the Bee Gees for them even being born, thanks to this song. #BabyMakinMusic
God given talent is beyond man's understanding it is called an annointing
The thing I never hear people mention is how much fun they are having singing together. The twins give each other eye contact and little smiles.
They all had a great sense of humor, but Maurice was mostly the cut up. For all the talk about Barry's falsetto, credit has to be given to Robin for his vibrato. Both, very unique voices & beautiful. Maurice tied it all together making their harmony one of the very best ever.
Maurice and robin were twins?
@@isabellavalencia8026 Yes
@@NatalieMllr thankyou...i was in love with andy gibb and also loved the beegees had a beegees backpack in 5th grade lol you are a lovely lady!
No group in the world can harmonize like these brothers. Amen!💕
Mr Gibb is as good as it gets nobody sounds like him
So easily the most often overlooked of legendary acts. Decades upon decades of incredible performances, hit songs, but hit songs Barry wrote for other stars as well. The brothers Gibb are on the same level as The Beatles. Barry Gibb the oldest and lone surviving of the brothers has been relevant in music his entire life. How many can say that?
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Phenomenal band as well. Love the reactions. 💙
I was lucky enough, to grow up listening to the Bee Gee's, & IMO, there will never be another group as multi-talented as them :)
I completely agree, they are truly magical. If everyone is honest about them, everyone should walk away and feel happy and calm unlike with music that has come since them...
I am so glad that I grew up in The Bee Gees era, to this day I perform some of their songs and they are not easy to do. They were a rare gem to the world. Angels sent to sing to us.
These Harmonics are so great. And like all said before... There was no Autotune or something like that. Thats pure Greatness.
Some of my fondest memories of my life with my late wife were those nights (there may have been some wine involved) we put on the Bee Gees and danced the night away. They were brilliant and unique. Wonderful song writers with the voices and harmony of angels. Oh, and we would cradle our little dog between us while we danced. He loved them too.
What beautiful memories 💗
💕
💜
Sorry that you lost your wife 😔. Thanks for sharing a special memory with us. Sounds so precious and such a loving time in your life. We all have those times we miss. 🌹
Beautiful memories. ❤️ I’ve watched a few of these reviews by young people and they all cry!
they donated the proceeds of this song to the music for unicef fund back in 1979 so far the royalties have made unicef over 11 million dollars
The BeeGees - bloody fantastic songwriters, performers and musicians - their harmonies are peerless, and they have written some of the late 20th Century’s greatest songs. Modern artists take note - this is true talent! No silly choreography, gimmicky daftness, auto-tune or PR silliness. Just pure talent!
This is the art of singing.
So many super groups can’t even begin to get anywhere near this.
I don't know which I enjoy more... your analysis of the music and vocals, or the expression of sheer joy you have when you hear something you like. Saying that you were never much of a Bee Gees fan leads me to think that your experience with them predates your love of music. They're from an Era where vocals and orchestration went hand-in-hand, so to truly listen to them you have to not just hear the vocals but also see how they interact with the music.
I'm only 42. I experienced them in the mid 80s because my mother listened to them. Good memories for me. Plus I have all their albums.
@@kennethwilliams5063 Me too. I am 42 going on 43 and grew up listening to them because of my parents and I wouldn't have it any other way. My parents played all the old greats so I got a good education on what true talent sounds like.
The live version of Immortality with Celine Dion is about as special as a live performance gets. We won't see the likes of them again. Very special
Good not agree more, I hope she does a video with this song
Agreed but I do love the Pentatonix cover of this they did at the tribute show.
Yup
Me too. It’s beyond excellent.
So true. I could cry. For BARRY SO UNIQUE
Bee Gee’s one of the best ever
And these guys were fully self taught, singing in harmony from as young as 6
Brotherly-Love will feel as a mountain, but together they can encompass it all.
The Bee gees are legendary
They had perfect harmony. So talented. Miss them together.
They wrote their own music but, beyond that, you should really look up their history on who/how many top hits they wrote for other performers. They were among the most successful and prolific writing teams as well as top performers.
Bee Gees are one of the very best group ever !!!
They first appeared on Australian TV singing one of Barrys songs when Barry was 11 and the twins were 8. By the age of 12 Barry had written over 40 songs and local Aussie artists were starting to record his songs. That is on UA-cam.
They lived at Redcliffe, Queensland about 10 miles from our house. I went to their last concert at the State Theatre, Sydney, before they left for fame and fortune overseas.
There well never be another Bee Gees. This is one sound I've never heard sang by any group since the Bee Gee's era.
Yes ! Because No One Else has been able to DO what they did.... :)
Like many people I first discovered the Bee Gees through their work in the disco era. I later stumbled onto their "Here at Last... Bee Gees Live" double live album which opened me up to all of the great music they have written and recorded. There is a reason these guys were so revered by everyone in the industry - they are giants. Some of their earlier songs like I Started a Joke, Massachusetts, etc. are just wonderful. Great reaction!
I didn’t know about their pre-disco catalog until I bought one of their greatest hits albums maybe 10 or 15 years ago. I actually find that I prefer the songs that Robin does lead vocals on. As unique as Barry’s voice is, Robin is another level of unique.
Great album. Great version of Come on over. Also that was before disco took over their image.
Larry D. Darnell -- Yes, thank you for your post ! I remember those 2 songs you mentioned coming out in the mid-70's I believe... They were great back then and still are!!! It makes perfect sense that this family of boys who all sang including the youngest, Andy, would get a break and bring their lovely voices and arrangements to the world !
God Bless you and yours !
Fran Danco
In a time less complicated as today, imagine driving through the hills somewhere in the 70s and this song comes on the radio.
I actually lived that dream many times here in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State.. :)
Did it in the 70s Southern California
Some of those signature quirks are what enabled the Bee Gees to tickle the feel-good centers in our souls.
Perfect pitch, that's these brothers, top to bottom and for all their lives. I've just started listening to them again and they are a delight to listen to - and sweet to hear a vocal coach go through this with them with so much excitement for their voices. They were pretty amazing, Barry still is and adding their children to the mix..l thank you!
I've heard a lot of vocal coaches say similar things about Johnny Cash and "Hurt". He owns his voice and the years of heartache and triumph come pouring out of his vocals. It can't be faked. You know it when you see it, I guess. Bee Gees are so unique talents. Amazing song.
Hey... I watched this review... I wasn't really impressed. I had planned to go and listen to Hurt after this review. Thank you, I love Cash..
@@dennisjj6529 Thanks I hate Cash.
Barry is such an amazing songwriter that we just accepted that how he sung these incredible songs
If Da Vinci was the painter then Barry was the song writer
So many truly perfect songs
Every chord change is perfect and then he surprises with the change up
even more beautiful than the brothers’ harmonies is your sincere vulnurable warm loving reaction. thankyou!
Growing up in Brooklyn and filming Saturday Night Fever in my neighborhood this was our Soundtrack in a way i still tear up listening to them the trigger such beautiful memories and the music and lyrics still fills with joy 40 yrs later They were truly a phenomenal group and I don’t think will have this again
The seventies was the birth of something unique.
They lived across town from me in the early 60s in Redcliffe, Queensland. Went to their last concert in Sydney, Australia before going overseas for fame and fortune.
I’m a baritone with around the same tone as Barry and I’ve been fascinated by his falsetto for a while. I practiced imitating him and found out that without that nasality it takes way more air to sing in that range and it doesn’t sound as good. When you sing with your nose just the right way, there is a sort of resonance that happens between the nose and the mouth cavities that sort of sharpens the high frequencies and smoothens the lower ones, kind of like you can mute some instruments to change their tone. It results in a clearer sound that you wouldn’t expect from a baritone if he just tried to push his vocal chords without.
The most amazing group ever!!!! So underrated, so underappreciated!
WE LOVE YOU BARRY, ROBIN, MAURICE (AND ANDY!)
You guys have helped so many people through their hard times. Your music helped so many people find peace!
Thank you!!!!
They were such fantastic writers too... I mean come on, 'Nobody gets too much love anymore. It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb'. Hits me every time
I mean they did have their ? moments too..."I see you every morning outside the restaurant... the music plays ... so nonchalant..." like was it that important to put nonchalant in the lyrics. :P
@@smoothknyte bahahahaha yeah, I mean, whatever they dig I guess lol
One mic,three superb voices,I’ll leave it there folks 👍👍
It's like audio silk, smooth and flowing
Brilliant indeed!! Perfection! And no lessons, just "organic" as they called it, from the time they were about 5! No autotune, just pure talent!! They also don't read or write paper music, it's all pure talent, fully natural!!
Gotta love Bee Gees! I actually have the album this song is from ("Spirits Having Flown") on vinyl. Now, I need to play the whole thing.
One of my all time favourite albums .. Grew up with it...
That's the way it was done then. They made every song lead into the next.
"Reaching Out" is one of my favorites.
A beautiful song, delivered to perfection by the Brothers Gibb. Thanks for your reaction.
Well I cried, thank you so much for this beautiful appreciation of the BeeGees🥰
You’d prob enjoy their documentary “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart”! They’ve been singing together since they were little, so you’re right on that. No formal training. Barry and Robin would work on their harmonies and Maurice new instinctively where to fall in to complete the three part harmony. It was said in the documentary “when you’ve got brothers singing together, it’s like an instrument nobody else can buy”. They have an amazing, huge catalogue of songs, and have written and produced many hits for other artists!
"Sometimes it 's your limitations, or the the things that feel like flaws, that actually are the things that make you unique. It's not a flaw." - BETH ROARS
Excellent..........
I've watched every reaction on UA-cam to this song, and I still hear new things. There are so many little grace notes in the performance, arrangement, and production.
They definitely remind me of the Stylistics. Both groups are legendary, and silk. Pure silk.
I wish they had collaborated - God, can you imagine the sophisticated zillion part harmonies?
The Stylistics are great but they sung ballads mostly, they could never sing power falsetto which the Bee Gees are in a league of there own.
The Stylistics were an influence on the BeeGees.
They look genuinely happy singing. Most artists are too focused on the singing and I guess after so much work and shows you get tired but these guys always look like they are enjoying it.
Yeah I cry when I hear the BEEGEES because I grew up with my Mom listening to them often and it takes me right back. Mom, a professional singer sounded like Karen Carpenter who also makes me cry. Music in those days was so good and unique. I watched a doc on the BEEGEES and how they stumbled on that falsetto sound and decided to run with it based on the time and musical style. So unique and so much a part of peoples lives who grew in that time. Miss you Mom.
Sorry for your loss.
@@larrygarrett724 appreciate that, thank you.
This is the greatest display of vocal acrobatics I have ever heard. I don’t like songs that fade out at the end (a trend in the 70s and early 80s) but I still love this song
I agree with you for some songs, but I think the fading suits this one well. Hey Jude would be another example, but it's perhaps a bit more experimental for its time.
Their range, harmony and song writing skills are second to none. If you have not been a fan of Bee Gees then you need to check out more of their huge catalog. Please react to Fanny Be Tender. It is my fav Bee Gee’s song and I think you might like it!
They have been singing together since little kids in Manchester. I love the pre and post disco sounds the most with Barry’s soulful, silky smooth chest voice and Robins very emotional vibrato. What other group has spanned 5 decades of recording and performing, changing their sound with the times but still keeping their uniqueness. One of maybe even my all time favorite group. They have a song and sound for every mood…masters of their craft. On top of that such nice guys too!
While Nights On Broadway and How Deep Is Your Love is their two best songs without question, this here is still a beautifully written and performed track of theirs. 👍
This can NOT be the first time she’s heard this! Bee Gees 🥰🥰🥰
I remember seeing something years ago where the BeeGees were being interview in the studio, they were talking about always having something happening in a track to grab/keep the attention of the listener. Which seems to explain all those little vocal flourishes where maybe there would otherwise being a pause or a space.
i love this song so much!
I never noticed that tremolo thing before, it's really unique. I actually find the Bee Gees quite frightening, especially Barry. The precision of those harmonies is insane though, you can actually hear some sort of chorusing happening, some kind of phase cancelation going on between them, I'm not even sure how that's humanly possible.
It happens because they all were great singers with perfect pitch...
Wait until we all hear Angelic Choirs singing up there!!!! They will be Amazing !!!
Don’t think I’ve ever heard harmonies that good. The synchronizing of the tremolo/vibrato is inhuman.
Bee Gees rock!
Never been anything like them ....And never will again. Simply some of the best vocals and arrangements you will hear in a lifetime.
I'm 70 years old and for reasons I can't explain I spent most of my life saying I wasn't much of a Bee Gees fan but every time I'd hear them on on the radio I never turn to a new station and totally enjoy listening to them. Then I gave into it and now have a pretty large Bee Gee collection of music. I also consider them one of my all time favorites.
You dont know what your talking about the Bee Gees are perfect
I love The Bee Gee's and their harmony. I don't think labeling them "diso" is fair or accurate.
Nothing disco about this song - just raw, awesome talent.
They were around long before disco and long after disco...
Exactly, Jason Kingsland. But that label normally only comes from slaggers who don't even know they were a famous Pop/Rock act BEFORE 'Saturday Night Fever.'
100% agree with you
They did so many different styles of music over the years
And wrote some great songs for other singers
Disco is a cheap shot, they said they were R&B, as were many others that were labeled disco.
I saw the beegees in concert as a singer you can appreciate their vocals in person
Too much heaven, one of the best songs ever made and sang.
They never had any musical/vocal training and they couldn’t read or write sheet music. But they were the BEST!!! They are INCOMPARABLE!!! There will never be another group like them!!!!
I love your interpretation Beth, as well as the very precise explanation. As a super fan of the Bee Gees, I would love if you dig into their huge musical catalog, I am not mentioning any song because I won't ever end, but these brothers wrote, produced and sang true works of art throughout 5 decades, you will not be disappointed.
Ive listened to this song from 1978, when it was released. It still gives me goosebumps
WOW. You just made me love the BeeGees even more - and, after all these years (I'm 62), I would have never thought that possible! :) THANK YOU!
Thank you for letting your students discover there own identity n sound it can lead to GREATNESS
Sad that you aren't a big Bee Gee's fan like me but this review was awesome! 👏 Thought you should know, in case you didn't, that the guys donated all proceeds from this record to Unicef Children's Charities for posterity. It surpassed 10 million dollars several years ago but I'm not sure of the amount to date. They were always extremely generous!! ❤
Everyone loves the Bee Gees. You don't even like music if you don't. Fact. They have EVERY genre covered.
Love is a beautiful thing. They make you believe it in the most sincere feel.
You are a very clever voice coach who can appreciate the beauty in everybody voice I like your detailed analysis of tone and texture of singers voices
Great stuff as always! RIP to the twins, hard to believe only Barry is left. I'm also enjoying your new channel. Thank you for all that you do for all of us! Loch Sloy! ~Be Blessed
When he played Glastonbury a few years back, I actually cried a little, because his brothers were not there to enjoy it with him.
sadly and ironically only the oldest one is alive :(
Their sister, Leslie, is still alive.. she's the oldest of the Gibb siblings
Which one is Barry?
@@rahterminator1596 The one with the beard and falsetto
Amazing band. And to think there was a backlash in the early 80s against disco and radio stations happily promoted "Bee Gee Free" weekends and such. This band was iconic and didn't deserve that. Luckily they kept working on through it all even with slight shifts in genres because they had that talent to perservere.
Hi Beth, I am from 1961 and will still thank you for explaining the perfection.
Another album worth listening to, is Bary Gibb and Barbra Streisand, Guilty. In fact, Barbra Streisand herself, is worth a reaction and listening to .
0:26 -- This intro screams the 70s! It's so light, so smooth, so magic, so ... 70s! I've got chills down my spine.
And thanks for pointing out the little synchronized slides (like on "too") that a lot of reactors don't mention. I love that sort of thing - and you picked up on it! 👏🏾
Barry has that iconic voice RIP to all 3 of Barry's brothers
Caraca... Qualquer reação ao Bee Gees me emociona. São simplesmente FANTÁSTICOS! 😍♥️
These guys were definitely a hit machine and being heard literally everywhere when I was in 7th grade(1979). Having been introduced to rock n roll through Kiss Alive a couple years before I didn't want to hear these guys. Now I can appreciate that they were actually talented.
Having lived as a 20-year-old through the mid-60's on, you would have had to be there to really appreciate their most unique, beautiful harmonies during that time..
They sang so high in this song and then so easily, went up an octave and it was not a problem for them either.. :) It is sad to think now, the only one alive is Barry, the one in the middle of this trio... :(
Perhaps sometime, you may want to watch the movie - "Saturday Night Fever" which featured the Bee Gees, and starred a young John Travolta...
Thank you for this, Beth !
I am glad you made those points about choosing your singing style, the things right for you (each person) as an individual...that the important thing is to be healthy, to not do anything that could hurt you. Thanks for that.
This period was probably the high point of their vocal abilities. It was the time at which they were most comfortable with not just their style and presentation, but the control over the production process. It lasted a while too. But if you want the peak, this was it.
Childhood singers with a huge range and style. And song writers
Barry said in an interview it was a producer that suggested he try to sing falsetto and the rest as they say is history.
It was Arif Mardin and to try some ad libs at the end of Nights on Broadway.
This is definitely one of the best of the best…
