he adored Barry....was his hero, like a god for him, his elder brother was so twin with Andy , like Maurice and Robin were. This song was written and produced by Barry and was number one hit in charts in usa...he got THREE consecutives number ones
@@RuthBair-ht1fj yes I heard Barry say that they look and sound the same, they are amazing, Barry said in the same documentary that Andy was going to join them with reluctantly from Robin but plans were in place then unfortunately Andy died it's so sad but thankyou for the info ❤️
Andy was gonna be in bee gees but he passed away just before that was to happen...he was stuck in drugs an alcoholism going through hard times but Barry his older brother helped him write songs to hopefully help him in his future..he was just ready to join his brothers in bee gees but faith was too late and he passed away at 30 years old..he was so talented gone to soon..
Prior to '87, Barry was outvoted twice by the twins for Andy to join. Andy wrote & recorded 4 new songs for his album with Barry & Mo in Miami. He was staying at Robin's in the UK while trying to finish the album. Sadly, he developed writers block & started drinking again. He died a few weeks later from alcohol-induced myocarditis.
Andy was a great talent gone way too soon. A song he wrote on his own Fool for a night was also recorded by his daughter Peta (on the Gibb Collective album, the Gibb’s children). Would be wonderful to hear them back to back (Fool for a night). ❤❤
Thanks to Hugh and Barbara Gibb for finding each other! The Gene Pool was strong in these two. Please watch Andy Gibb sing Shadow Dancing...he's wearing tight jeans and a white sweater. He bulked up and had one of the best backs in the business! Pure masculinity. Songs good too..hehe.😂
Andy has lots of hits and was going to join his brothers it was all planned but he died just before it happened, he was so like Barry in looks and talent, they were all gorgeous ,such a shame and sad, Andy and Barry wrote all his songs ❤
@@michaelasay8587No, it was from myocarditis, caused from drug & alcohol use. His last bout of vodka in the UK while staying at Robin's would end his life.
@OlavityMusic Barry wrote this song for Andy. Maurice said Andy was a mini-Barry. Andy idolized his brothers, but especially Barry. It was sad that he passed so young. Stephen Gibb (Barry’s son) said the only time he saw his dad cry was at Andy’s funeral. Do more Andy and Bee Gees!!!! Here’s a link to one of their later songs , 1987 You Win again. Barry’s my favorite and he looks really sexy on this video. And you probably would love how Robin looks on this one too. At the end, you’ll see a short surprise guest! ua-cam.com/video/GUYpasCfUU4/v-deo.html
Andy was the youngest of the 4 Gibbs…and the biggest heartthrob to all teenaged young girls. Was in love with the actress Victoria Principal, a beautiful lady.
Andy had a romantic relationship with actress Victoria Principal. His problems with addiction ended their relationship, and his death at 30 was very hard for her. She truly loved him, I think. Very sad to lose him so young.
@@keithneale6223he was clean and sober at his death. He didn't die from the drug per sem. But the drugs did tear down his body and that is what got him.
@@keithneale6223 Which is the same reason his wife Kim left him in LA in '77 & returned to Australia. Kim was barely pregnant as they were only married about a year. He didn't meet & start dating VP until '81.
The Bee Gees wrote the song for him and performed Backing vocals for him on the Studio Version. The plan was for him to have a Solo career and sing part time with the Beeg Gees. He was announced as joining the Bee Gees but passed away before it could happen.
It was only Barry who wrote the song and provided backing vocals. Desire is the only song recorded in which features the vocals of all 4 brothers. It's such a shame they didn't record more together. The world really missed out...
I had such a huge crush on Andy. Barry and Andy had identical birthmarks. In early 1988 they announced that Andy would be joining the Bee Gees as a permanent member but sadly he passed away on March 10th just five days after his 30th birthday. You are correct about it being difficult to grow up in the shadows of his brothers but Andy took so very personal. They said it would upset him if he saw one person in the audience that didn't smile instead of the hundreds or thousands that did. If he won a race in school they would say it's because of his brothers. I think he quit school at 12 or 13. He was never pressured by his family to be anything but himself. He wanted to sing and was exceptional at it.
Andy was Barrys "twin", having the same birthmark, interests (tennis) and young Andy looked like young Barry, there are photos where at first glance you don't know whether it's Barry or Andy. The bee Gees are my Nr.1 in everything, but there is a singer (25 years old) in todays music who is also handsome, charismatic, talented (a real poet), with a special voice..... Damiano David from maneskin. Check out Valentine, Coraline...!
Hey Ola, it's so nice to see a person your age looking back and enjoying good music from the past. I'm a bit older than you but I also look into the past trying to find good music these days I grew up in the prime days of metal into the beginnings of grunge style music. I enjoy the music from the past because nowadays music has become too manufactured and commercialized and everything just sounds the same. Keep exploring and enjoy your journey into Great music.
The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on ua-cam.com/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/v-deo.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing ua-cam.com/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/v-deo.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too ua-cam.com/video/7niXSh7vWRI/v-deo.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: ua-cam.com/video/WH_j90fCIk4/v-deo.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out ua-cam.com/video/vfHUS5Mf00Q/v-deo.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: ua-cam.com/video/MT9vRHSWNbk/v-deo.html. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you ua-cam.com/video/CA4CInDnTk8/v-deo.html. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: ua-cam.com/video/162GlAEpfrY/v-deo.html.
That performance was live and every note absolute perfection. Their mother said she knew when Andy was only 4 that he had the same gift as his brothers. She would be sitting with him in the back of the auditorium during Bee Gees rehearsals and Andy knew all the songs and sang along with them in perfect pitch. At 13 he was fronting bands in clubs, even when too young to be paid. Entertaining came natural to him. He followed in his brothers footsteps and dropped out of school at only 14. They wanted him to spend 5 years in Australia perfecting his skills, but after only 2 or 3 begged to go to Miami where his brothers were. He wrote all of the songs on his first album, Flowing Rivers, except 2. Barry wrote, produced, and sang backup on those two and both became #1 hits. He was instantly the hottest, most in demand talent for every variety show or special. He was probably the most genuinely talented “teen idol” ever. He could write, play by ear, and sing anything including harmonies, and could act, including comedy skits, and hosted Solid Gold for a season. Everyone loved him. Please keep reacting to his videos. I Just Want To Be Your Everything was his first single. Please react to his live performance of the second, (OUR LOVE) DON’T THROW IT ALL AWAY on Don Kershner’s. It is also perfect!
I think Andy looks as if Barry and Robin had a baby (especially when Robin was in his early 30's with short blond hair). eg @3:19. I think the pressure to achieve what his brothers did was what eventually destroyed his self esteem. A very hard act to follow. His brothers had each other on stage for support while Andy was out there on the stage alone. Must have been nerve wracking.
I really enjoy your reactions, this one and especially ones you had of Elvis, so I have subscribed. I would suggest to you Elvis 1970 live version of Just Pretend, but I don't know if you could make it through it!
Barry always said Andy was going to become part of the Bee Gees fulltime after Andy was done with his acting career. Had a few issues I believe and turned to cocaine. Remember when it all went down, not in deep detail and less now with age lol but what an era to grow up.
Twice Barry was outvoted by the twins for Andy to join, and both times prior to 1987. If they had as much concern for his well-being & welfare as Barry did, he may still be here with Barry today.
@@kthor Andy died of a drug overdose so he will never be here with Barry. The twins were looking out for Andy by not voting him in and allowing him to live a life outside of the Bee Gees before being locked in like they all were. Andy was becoming a well established actor at the time and maybe some time doing something else he was good at while still getting hits through his older brothers was a good thing. Andy just died of a cocaine overdose.
@@JTW05 No. Andy didn't die of a drug overdose. He had been clean & sober for over a year, after going through treatment a third time in Jan '87. He died Mar 10, 1988, five days after his 30th bday, after consuming vodka over a period of a few weeks. So why did he begin drinking again? Because he was experiencing writers block in the UK while at Robin's, which was close to Island Records in London. He had already written & recorded 4 songs with Barry & Mo in Miami, so was in the UK to finish his album. Andy also told their mother & Robin it was getting him down. But sadly it wasn't enough for Robin to step-up & help him out with writing, a time when he really needed him to. Andy died from Cocaine & Alcohol-Induced Myocarditis, so using either one again when his heart was healing from past usage, would likely cause anyone's death.
@@kthor Yeah I remember that shit now, been a few years and haven't had to look it up to refresh the memory. So you blaming Robin now? Andy lived his own life, there were more things going on in his life at the time, you are just pulling out bits of his overall problems and coming up with it's Robin's fault. Get over it dude, he died far too young and in the 80's nearly 40 years ago, at his own hands. May have been unintentional but no one else to blame but himself. A shame though because he was a talent.
@@JTW05 First, I'm not a dude. Second, a brother (who's a songwriter) doesn't accidentally turn his back on his brother, especially when he knew for over 3 months, he was coming there to work on an album. After all, the plan was for Andy & the Bee Gees to release albums at almost the same time, followed by their first world tour together in '88. It's not hard to figure out, considering it's the reason why Robin left the group in '69, not to mention he didn't want Andy on stage during the Spirits tour, so of course he didn't want Andy to become a Bee Gee. Even though Mo helped on Andy's comeback album in '87, sadly he went along with Robin, as he also didn't want him to join.
They both (Olivia & Andy) said they considered themselves as brother and sister. Now he did date Victoria Principal and she did rob the cradle🤣🤣🤣. But they both said they were happy with each other at one point. Unfortunately for Andy, the drugs were too strong a pull.

He was a coke addict who wasn't nearly as talented as his brothers, particularly at songwriting. I love this song and Shadow Dancing and always will. But let's not get carried away just because he died at 30.
Thank you so much for giving Andy the recognition he deserves. Andy, Robin, and Maurice are making heaven a more beautiful place.
Can't wait in this terrible world today...hope people vote right cuz rt now it's not right!
Andy's charm is especially evident in his duets with Olivia Newton John and with Crystal Gayle.
he adored Barry....was his hero, like a god for him, his elder brother was so twin with Andy , like Maurice and Robin were. This song was written and produced by Barry and was number one hit in charts in usa...he got THREE consecutives number ones
GORGEOUS YOU, RIP ANDY.
Andy had great talent and passed away far too young. He reminds me so much of his oldest brother Barry with his looks and great voice.
That's what I said ❤
@@mandyhargraves8589Barry had even had the same birth marks.

You are such a sweet girl i love your reactions to the Beejees, all of them ❤
Hello Olavity,
I feel sorry for Barry. All his brothers have passed and they were such a big part of his life.
Andy was definitely Barry's mini-me, & hero-worshipped Barry.♥️
Thanks to Hugh and Barbara Gibb for finding each other! The Gene Pool was strong in these two. Please watch Andy Gibb sing Shadow Dancing...he's wearing tight jeans and a white sweater. He bulked up and had one of the best backs in the business! Pure masculinity. Songs good too..hehe.😂
You have to look at the video of andy singing dont throw it all away......im certain it will make youre heart fall in love.....trust me.
Yes
Nobody out there in 2024 you could compare to. Andy Gibb 😎👍
Andy has lots of hits and was going to join his brothers it was all planned but he died just before it happened, he was so like Barry in looks and talent, they were all gorgeous ,such a shame and sad, Andy and Barry wrote all his songs ❤
And he was only 30! Did I hear it could have been from hiv?

Yea he was handsome. I think they all were
Especially Andy & Barry!♥️
Maybe the next Bee Gees reaction could be Andy Gibb "Shadow Dancing" ?
I knew she'd swoon over Andy !!
Yes all the women loved him...and teen age girls...and probably some guy's...❤❤❤❤
Andy was Barrys "twin", having the same birthmark, interests (tennis) and young Andy looked like young Barry, there are photos where at first glance you don't know whether it's Barry or Andy.

Without wanting to sound crerpy, you are one of the most naturally pretty girls I have ever seen.
There is an older sister who sang too, but she gave it up to raise her family.
As always a great reaction
A bit of trivia, it was his brother Barry, who wrote, I just want to be your everything! Gone too soon!
Hit his number 1 song shadow dancing video

🙌🙌👏👏👋👋✨✨🌠🌠🫶🫶👑👑
Shadow Dancing. It was number 1 in 1977 in the USA for 8 weeks in row.
The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988.

Try listening to the song Dreamin' on ua-cam.com/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/v-deo.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing ua-cam.com/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/v-deo.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg

Cool beans 😮

I think Andy looks as if Barry and Robin had a baby (especially when Robin was in his early 30's with short blond hair). eg @3:19. I think the pressure to achieve what his brothers did was what eventually destroyed his self esteem. A very hard act to follow. His brothers had each other on stage for support while Andy was out there on the stage alone. Must have been nerve wracking.
I really enjoy your reactions, this one and especially ones you had of Elvis, so I have subscribed. I would suggest to you Elvis 1970 live version of Just Pretend, but I don't know if you could make it through it!
He looked like Barry, but had a voice similar to Robin's...
He looked & sang just like Barry!
All the girlfriend at that time were all in love whit Andy Gibb, they were just talking about him and that is poster in the bedroom 😎
Barry always said Andy was going to become part of the Bee Gees fulltime after Andy was done with his acting career. Had a few issues I believe and turned to cocaine. Remember when it all went down, not in deep detail and less now with age lol but what an era to grow up.
Twice Barry was outvoted by the twins for Andy to join, and both times prior to 1987. If they had as much concern for his well-being & welfare as Barry did, he may still be here with Barry today.
@@kthor Andy died of a drug overdose so he will never be here with Barry. The twins were looking out for Andy by not voting him in and allowing him to live a life outside of the Bee Gees before being locked in like they all were. Andy was becoming a well established actor at the time and maybe some time doing something else he was good at while still getting hits through his older brothers was a good thing.
Andy just died of a cocaine overdose.
@@JTW05 No. Andy didn't die of a drug overdose. He had been clean & sober for over a year, after going through treatment a third time in Jan '87. He died Mar 10, 1988, five days after his 30th bday, after consuming vodka over a period of a few weeks. So why did he begin drinking again? Because he was experiencing writers block in the UK while at Robin's, which was close to Island Records in London. He had already written & recorded 4 songs with Barry & Mo in Miami, so was in the UK to finish his album. Andy also told their mother & Robin it was getting him down. But sadly it wasn't enough for Robin to step-up & help him out with writing, a time when he really needed him to. Andy died from Cocaine & Alcohol-Induced Myocarditis, so using either one again when his heart was healing from past usage, would likely cause anyone's death.
@@kthor Yeah I remember that shit now, been a few years and haven't had to look it up to refresh the memory. So you blaming Robin now? Andy lived his own life, there were more things going on in his life at the time, you are just pulling out bits of his overall problems and coming up with it's Robin's fault. Get over it dude, he died far too young and in the 80's nearly 40 years ago, at his own hands. May have been unintentional but no one else to blame but himself. A shame though because he was a talent.
@@JTW05 First, I'm not a dude. Second, a brother (who's a songwriter) doesn't accidentally turn his back on his brother, especially when he knew for over 3 months, he was coming there to work on an album. After all, the plan was for Andy & the Bee Gees to release albums at almost the same time, followed by their first world tour together in '88. It's not hard to figure out, considering it's the reason why Robin left the group in '69, not to mention he didn't want Andy on stage during the Spirits tour, so of course he didn't want Andy to become a Bee Gee. Even though Mo helped on Andy's comeback album in '87, sadly he went along with Robin, as he also didn't want him to join.
He dated Olivia Newton John, she was robbing the cradle 😆
They both (Olivia & Andy) said they considered themselves as brother and sister. Now he did date Victoria Principal and she did rob the cradle🤣🤣🤣. But they both said they were happy with each other at one point. Unfortunately for Andy, the drugs were too strong a pull.
@Sandra6411 thanks, I know this but my old brain doesn't work right anymore 😅

He was a coke addict who wasn't nearly as talented as his brothers, particularly at songwriting.
I love this song and Shadow Dancing and always will. But let's not get carried away just because he died at 30.
The prettiest least talented Gibb Brother. I could never get into his solo work.
He was too young for me. Sort of in the David Cassidy, Donny Osmond era.
