    A little about me and this channel:
    My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ UA-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of UA-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on UA-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This UA-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
    What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
    Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
    Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

    I'll echo what everyone else said- their 60s style was totally different and more cerebral than the disco, and that didn't come in until the latter 70s. Their best songs were in the 60s, to me. They had so many great songs like this. 'Words', 'I've Gotta Get a Message to You', 'Massachusetts', 'To Love Somebody', are a few! The Bee Gees Wonderland!

They got their name from speedway promoter and race car driver Bill Goode and a disc jockey named Bill Gates, from a local Brisbane radio station, who hired them to entertain the audience at the track. Both mens initials were Bs and Gs. They called them the BGs at first but later changed it to Bee Gees. From 1966 - 1969 they released 6 albums and 12 singles as the Bee Gees. Google them and you will see that what I said is factual info.

He was a truly remarkable person and an artist with an utterly unique, heavenly, and irreplaceable voice! Rest in Peace.

    Always loved this song. On Song Facts there is a heartbreaking story told by Robin-John Gibb (Robin's son):
    'Robin Gibb's son played this song just after his father died from kidney failure on May 20, 2012. Robin-John Gibb told The Sun: "When he passed away we went out, they took the equipment away and we came back in. I picked up my phone and found 'I Started A Joke' on UA-cam and played it. I put the phone on his chest and that was the first time I broke down. I knew that song and its lyrics were perfect for that moment. That song will always have new meaning to me now." '

  • @matmagix3845
    @matmagix3845 3 роки тому +32

    I Started A Joke was written in 1968 and is considered Robin Gibb's signature song (note the vibrato vocal). Disco and funk appeared mid to late 1970s, so the Bee Gees had to change with the times if they wanted to keep an audience. The music the Bee Gees did before disco was often called Baroque pop, and a lot of those songs were tinged with hints of sadness and reflection. The Bee Gees during early days also tended to switch lead singing position of Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb. You can see this in "I've Gotta Get A Message to You", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" and "Run To Me" staple songs from their pre-disco days, which are great. The transition period towards disco is best noted in their 1975 album, with songs like "Fanny Be Tender With My Love", "Nights on Broadway" and "Jive Talking".

    The Bee Gees have a 50 year career! Pick a decade, they have a song/ hit! This is one of my favorites with Robin singing lead. His version of Oh Darling is GOLD!!! Words, Run To Me, To Love Somebody, ( covered by Al Green , Michael Bolton ) Holiday, all gems...Mr. Natural, Songbird, Nights on Broadway, Love Me, Can't Keep A Good Man Down, omg I could go on forever! No, they started with ballads, some country tinged music, ( Come On Over covered by Olivia Newton John) and their sound changed over and over again! Disco is where they got the most attention , but they did, pop, adult contemporary, they wrote thousands of songs and fun fact wrote one of Barbra Streisand's MOST successful albums, Guilty.

    @jeremyboynton6173 3 роки тому +17

    Before 1970, Robin Gibb was the predominate singer in the group, and as time passed, it started having Barry become more the focal point. It's the main reason the group split up for close to two years. There was always an underlying sibling rivalry between Robin and Barry. Barry had the more marketable look, and better commercial sound. But Robin had the far more unique voice, which is why he was better suited for their earlier ballads. If you're looking for more songs to react to that are more Robin-focal, may I suggest "Bodyguard", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", or "This is Where I Came In" from their final album. His voice always is felt when listened to.

    The Bee Gers became popular in the US in about 1967 when I was in the 8th grade. Man,oh man did I love them. The New York Mining Disaster of 1941 was their first song I heard. Then Words, Massachusetts, I Started a Joke, Holiday, I've Got to Get a Message to You and the list goes on and on. Robin did most of the leads in the beginning. Sometimes him and Barry would take turns. Later Barry discovered that he could sing falsetto and began singing lead on most songs when disco came along in the 70's. People like to say that the Bee Gees had 3 separate careers. Really. They had a long string of hits in the 60's. Then we didn't hear from them again until the movie Saturday Night Fever came out and the Bee Gees were back. Then we had a few more years without them and after a few years they came back again. 😁 Those early songs from the 60's were so stirring and moving. The disco years were fun but Robin could sure bring a tear to your eye back in the 60's. Robin's son Robin John played I Started a Joke after his dad's funeral. He said something like No dad, you didn't start the world crying. It was sad.

      The song is also about Maurice not getting the lead on many of the songs; his voice, although unique, was not powerful enough for him to be the lead on many of the Bee Gees songs. Barry had his falsetto and Robin had his own way of singing and Maurice said, that from the time they were young, he was always "the one in the middle"; so he learned to be the clown, the funny one. You can see that very clearly when he is on state w/his brothers. Sad he wasn't valued more. He was my favorite.

    I love disco era Bee Gees, but their early stuff is what I still listen to the most. Robin’s ethereal voice always moved me so I have a deep connection to the songs in which he sings lead.
    If you want to check out their early stuff I would start with these: To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, Lonely Days, and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, the latter two being written on the same day when they reunited after a short break up.
    Happy listening. ✌🏼❤️

    The Brothers Gibb (BGs) were a trio from Australia. Very popular when they were teenagers. They went to England and became more popular. This is how they started. Barry Gibb, the elder brother is also a supreme songwriter and has written many songs for other artists. The Kenny Rogers Dolly Parton duet "Islands In The Stream" was written by Barry Gibb! There is at least 50 years of exceptional music from them.

  • @pretzel_cat

    If you like the r&b, funk, and soul feel in The Bee Gees disco era hits, here are a few earlier songs that show how that sound developed.
    - Mr Natural (1974): has a smooth r&b chorus that has a bit of a Temptations feel the more you listen. Plus this song’s instrumentals give me a hint of country too, which actually works really well and makes for an interesting blend.
    - Nights on Broadway (1975): funk sneaks into the bass line and Barry’s falsetto makes an early appearance. A fantastic song that manages to blend their classic early sound with funk-infused r&b. One of my top 2 Bee Gees songs.
    - Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) 1975: The other of my top 2 faves (actually this is #1 based on how often I listen to it on repeat). From the opening, this is a smooth groove that builds with layered vocals and falsetto harmonies throughout. The production here is absolutely perfect. Such a satisfying listen.

I suggest you listen to 'one' or 'paying the price of love ' if you want different try "the lord' or "don't forget to remember ' or 'Massachusetts ' or 'first of May' those are a bit different from what you are used to.
