- This is a high quality version of Barry Gibb’s 1982 demo of the song Heartbreaker from the Heartbreaker Demos album for Dionne Warwick’s Heartbreaker album. Ownership/copyright belongs to the respective owner. No copyright infringement intended.
He was & is so masterfully talented it hurts.
...Dionne has stated NUMEROUS times, that she wasn't fond of the 'harsh' intro to the Song, but I respect her decision to record the Song, where it challenged her to step out of her comfort zone of what she can handle vocally....Barry clearly felt she could do justice to the intelligent lyrics, of a Mature Woman confronting a betraying Lover....resulting in a WORLDWIDE hit.....for BOTH Artists.....
Her phrasing and timing fixed the song, she's like the final songwriter in the process on this one. There's no way this would have been a hit without her in the chain, another female singer could have been chosen but may not have had the same instinct and the song wouldn't have had the same impact. People were well and truly sick of Barry's falsetto by 82. Overall I think this all worked out the best for everyone.
What I love of "Heartbreaker" is exactly the way it starts...
@@KreapOfficial i think he was trying to sing it in her key (the version on the bee gee's 2001 greatest hits is way less helium...tho still v barry gibb). the little inter-verse turnaround ("suddenly everything i ever wanted..") is the kind of thing that warwick was born to sing - i hear similar in many of the bacharach/david songs thaat were written for her in the 60's.
@@broscosmoline I never look at their body of work as anything more than one thing. The bee gee’s were a writer producer act as much as a band. Yes this is a complete bacharach/david composition. As good as anything they ever could have written. It’s an incredible skill to compose something for another songwriting teams artist the way they did. It’s almost unbelievable that this isnt a bacharach/david song tbh. That turn around you mentioned is one of the most powerful hooks i’ve ever heard in my lifetime too btw. You can hear things like that in many of the motown songwriters work too. It’s basically just perfect use of music and structure to keep a high going in a chorus.
What made this so special too was the fact it was so synthesiser based and contemporary with out it sounding forced.
@@broscosmoline Agreed. Barry was never a candidate to sing this in this key; he just did it for her benefit so she'd have something to learn.
Love this song love Barry ❤️
I started crying, because what can't be do?
Meu inglês é péssimo... ultimamente eu choro quase todos os dias..... ouvir esses meninos cantando ❤acalma my heart.... good morning my friend...
Still a Fan of Bee Gee's Falsetto! Simply the Best...
Love you Barry!!!!
Sensacional... inconfundível enfim Bee Gees forever!!!
Yall need to listen to this song at different speeds😭😭😭😭
Lovely 🌹🌹
Qdo digo meninos....eu falo de todos os irmãos....e todas as canções desses caras....❤I love Barry....fotever
❤❤ ...
Out of all of them, The version Barry did with his brothers which ended up The Greatest Record is my favorite of these.
This is a decent effort but the world was moving on from the Discoey sound at this point.
He probably figured, "It won't be a hit for me, but It'll be for someone else". In steps Dionne and makes Bazza Rich(er).
actually, it was written in 1982 long after Disco. Bee Gees focused on writing songs for others like Barbara Streisand back in 1979.
I like this one and the short live version on the greatest hits. The Record hits album had the recorded version which has that tinny digital sound. I prefer the warm analogue sound, though Barry sings too high on this.
Es mejor que la original
Barry, let's admit it, this was crap.
Nah this is good
I can see why he wanted someone else to record it XD
you are the real crap here.
This recording is as stated a demo; when Barry and brothers wrote this song, they knew they couldn't release it themselves at the time because of the negativity the band had been getting. Thus, they had to work behind the scenes for most of the 80s and write/produce for other artists. Robin commented that after Dionne recorded the song, he cried, saying, "Wish we could have recorded it!
@@RobMoldovan May I say Dionne's job on this track is unreachable?
This song is made for a woman, can't be sung with falsetto.
