You ‘youngsters’ make me smile… growing up in the 60s and 70s - we had such GREAT music, and sadly, we often took it for granted!! It’s SO MUCH fun watching you all hear it for the first time. This was our ‘disco’ phase.. but The Bee Gees go WAY beyond this! They wrote great music, hit after hit, recorded much of it themselves, but also wrote for others. It’s a huge rabbit hole.. that you’ll enjoy going down!!
And all that great music we grew up listening to got lost and what is out there today, I just can't call it music. The 60s,70s and 80s was great stuff.
Yep, we didn't realize how good we had it with music back in the 70's and 80's, it started to go downhill from the 90's onwards and now music pales in comparison to what it used to be and the funny thing is, just like you, we took it for granted.
No way….loved the music and danced away when I wanted….still do!
We had the best music back in the day!!
Disco....I miss that soooo much......!!!!
I just love how younger people are so appreciative of the music that we all loved as teens in the 70s! The best music ever!!!
Best music was the 1870s!!
@@stardaggerrihannsu2363 well, sorry, I wasnt around then so ...
Yes the 1970s the best. I loved the Bee Gees. I bought their album back in the 1970s. I still got it! An honor to had came up in the 1970s.I had Bee Gees poster on my wall. The best decade of all time. DA 1970s.
Lyrics explained by the Bee Gees:
Robin recalls, "The subject matter of 'Stayin' Alive' is actually quite a serious one; It's about survival in the streets of New York, and the lyrics actually say that". Barry Gibb also recalls, "People crying out for help. Desperate songs.Everybody struggles against the world, fighting all the bullshit and things that can drag you down. And it really is a victory just to survive.
Everyone seems to do the disco era of the Bee Gees but they are so much more than that. I grew up with this great group. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "Spicks & Specks", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
The disco era was my least favorite. They didn't get to exhibit their exquisite voices.
The Bee Gees were my all time favorite group for decades (now it’s Home Free). Pre-disco is epic, and post-disco is better than the disco era IMO. They did define disco, though.
@@jeffhensley6929 I do like all the Bee Gees stuff even their disco, just prefer the earlier songs. I still listen to a lot of classic rock as I grew up with it. But Home Free are my go to group now a days too.
You´re totally right on that sister!
Don't forget "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart "
They certainly DID exist for 50 years since they were little kids and are always rated among the top 5 selling artists of all time. This "disco" era is the one most people know but they could write and sing any style. All three were amazing singers and all three composed their songs including big hit songs for other big stars.
It still blows my mind that none of them ever learned to read music.
Ich wunder mich immer das so viele Menschen den Song kennen und nicht wissen das es ein Song von den Bee Gees ist ❤❤❤
Try their song Too Much Heaven - just absolutely beautiful. Another one you cannot help moving to is Jive Talking. I love watching the younger generation discover this great music.
Oh yes-both songs!
also Love You Inside Out is sick....unconditional love in a song, lol....
My favorite
Barry Gibb was blessed by the gods, man. Not only a prolific hit-making songwriter and great singer, but one of the best-looking men who ever walked the planet.
He was yummy!...lol
Ooooh Barry, that was my man right there❤
Personally I was more attracted to Robin but I can def see where you're coming from. I bet that man got all the ladies at the time.
His brothers were less fortunate in the looks department. That's why he was the centerpiece.
I agree,lucky Linda❤️
I love to see someone like this nice young man discovering this great music. also when he used the term old school i hear talent. Thank you Greg, i subbed.
They were an amazing group. Unfortunately only Barry is left. It's hysterical watching younger people discovering the music 🎶 I grew up with.
It’s my new favorite YT entertainment. 😆😆😆
The beautiful thing about them is that their music is perpetually being discovered by new fans. As long as there are those that enjoy their music, those three will live on forever.
I know, right?
"How deep is your love" is one of my favorites
to enter the Bee Gees rabbit hole is to enter a wonderous and deep hole. No auto-tune, raw talent, and 50 years of hits. The Brothers Gibb...never to be forgotten.
And one thing to keep in mind is that there is NO auto-tune or fancy post-production stuff going on. This is these brothers singing -- as they practiced singing together since they were small children. There's a tremendous amount of talent and practice and love to witness here.
Auto-tune is a crime against humanity!!!
This is crazy how many people are shocked by this.. I guess I was born at the perfect time. Born 75, as a black man, my parents hand all their music to listen to, due to my parents. So seeing this I am laughing so much. But its good seeing young folks enjoy this. The Bee Gees have so many great songs.
Check out "Too Much Heaven" or "Jive Talking" by the Bee Gees. They have sooooooo many great songs, it's unreal!
This is back in the day when singers actually had singing talent. Memories of Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta.
Welcome to the giant Bee Gees rabbit hole. Their catalog is extensive and impressive.
The Bee Gees are legends....so talented :)
The beat is "DISCO!" In the late 1970s Disco was the ultimate dancing music and entire clubs all over the country were dedicated to Disco. That whole Disco scene was shown in "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta. As a matter of fact, this song was used at the beginning of the movie when the credits were rolling.
This is the iconic opening scene music in the film, Saturday Night Fever. John Travolta is strutting down the street in Brooklyn to this song.
Love this song AND your reaction.
And if you should ever need to do CPR on someone, chest compressions should be done to the beat of "Staying Alive."
I was going to say that but thought I would read the comments first. LOL
Another song to do CPR to (if you are in a dark mood at least) is “Another One Bites the Dust”. Don’t hate on me for saying that….it is dark.
The one doing the high voice, in the middle, is the only one still alive. There was 4 brothers. All there songs are great. Your reaction was great. You can’t help but move your body when you listen to The Bee Gees. Awesome. 🎼🦋🎵♥️🎶👏👏
The youngest died really young though. I don't think he had anything to do with this song.
Just so no one misunderstands, the 4th brother, Andy, was not a Bee Gee. Brothers Barry, Robin & Maurice started performing in 1955 & took the name BGs/Bee Gee's in 1958 (Andy’s birth year). By the time Andy was 10, his brothers were already internationally known. They were all very supportive of Andy’s solo career. Barry wrote, co-produced & sang back-up on Andy’s 1st #1 hit, I Just Want To Be Your Everything. Shadow Dancing, also a #1, was written by all 4 brothers (again Barry sang back up & co-produced). Sadly, Andy’s mental health issues, cocaine & alcohol addiction, took a terrible toll on his health & career (he was dropped by his label), but his brothers kept trying to help (professionally & personally). Early 1988, they announced he would become a Bee Gee (beginning with their next album & 1989 tour), but he died before that could happen (March 10, 1988, age 30, of myocarditis).
I know that. I posted that earlier. He died really young I think.
@Almost Average Well, unless you are asleep, comatose, brain-dead , or deceased....
@Almost Average We can agree to disagree. I am related to several people who hate music and would only not sis still if they heard a funeral dirge, and then only to prove it was not thier funeral. My parents hate music in general and would call the cops if they hear music that is loud enough to bother them. I grew up listening to music on headphones because they hate music so I can only "dance like no one is watching" when they aren't watching.
The movie "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta is of course a classic. Listen to the other great songs from this album, "Night Fever (my favorite from the album)", "More Than A Woman", and "If I Can't Have You", all written by The BeeGee's.
Great ones! If I can't have you... the best!
I was going to suggest the same. So lucky to have been a teenager in the 70s. Real music No auto tune You either could sing or you couldn’t. No where to hide
One of the best soundtracks! If you like dancing - disco from around 1980 you need two albums: Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller' and the soundtrack for 'Saturday Night Fever'.
After that you can build up the rest of your collection.
Neither of them will ever be outdated.
(A tip about a forgotten third, and fourth, album: Noel, 'Is There More To Life Than Dancing?', with 'Dancing Is Dangerous', 1979. Written and produced by Sparks; the brothers Ron and Russell Mael. They made an amazing album, 'No. 1 In Heaven', produced by Giorgio Moroder, just before they took on Noel. A lot of what they learned from Moroder they brought with them to Noel's album.)
"Reaching out" is missing, I think it's the most beautiful song they have written, another ones are "Fanny, be tender with my love" and "Nights on Broadway".
Shout out from Nordic, Finland; Bee Gees is classic early (non American) kind of Disco and still such a vibe and it works.
When I did my first aid training I was taught to use this song as the beat to do CPR, as is the perfect timing for chest compressions. Love this song being used to literally keep people alive! 😁
"Another one bites the dust" works too, but is less agreeable for the concerned family members hanging around...
@@joannajohnson8210 🤣
I always loved these guys, my favorite song from them is "You Win Again" Three brothers singing together and taking the world by storm. Unfortunately Robin and Maurice have died . Their younger brother Andy was also a singer but died young. Only Barry left.
My favourite song as well
Most airplayed song around the globus - every 20 seconds - this plays everywhere around the world and for sure it is the most iconic song of the 70´s decade. It’s an indelible cultural hallmark. None of that happens if that opening scene, is set to any song other than “Stayin’ Alive.Fifth best selling single of all time with 31 million epic sales.
I can’t imagine one single production tweak that could make “Stayin’ Alive” work better. Everything is exactly where it should be. “Stayin’ Alive” is one of those songs that sounds like it’s always existed. It’s crazy to think that human beings had to make it up out of nothing.
It’s a part of our shared cultural heritage now - one of those pop miracles that just never gets old, never wears off, never loses its charge. It remains alive. And indeed one of the most covered pop songs in history
Perfectly said. It really is perfect. I was 11 when this came out, and, despite having the album and the DJs all playing it constantly, it NEVER got old. Instead, it was exhilarating when it came on the radio. It still is.
I grew up listening to the Bee Gees, & you have no idea how happy it makes me, to see the younger generation discover the music we fell in love with !!! All three brothers had amazing falsetto's, powerful chest voices, & could sing anything in between. They truly were a once in a lifetime gift of musical genius, in every aspect! Please review more of their music, you will not be disappointed. They span over many decades, & crossed quite a few genres. I believe, that if there is music in Heaven, it would sound like the Bee Gee's ❤❤
Loved your reaction! These guys were crazy talented. Go down this rabbit hole!
Please go down the rabbit hole of the Brothers Gibb
New reactor to Bee Gees? They are a class of it's own, just a level by themselves where nobody else is to find! Some facts about that song: Sold over 30 million copies worldwide and in 2018, 'Staying Alive' passed by 'Yesterday' from the Beatles, which was recorded over 10 years earlier by having the most airplays over the planet. Well and you didn't know anything about Bee Gees. I can tellya why: That's because medias often tried to put them out of the game and so called musicexperts didn't realise how extremely good they were. Wrote them down. The truth is, they are just in a row with Elvis, Bob Dylan, Beatles, Stones, Michael Jackson or Bruce Springsteen. Nothing beyond, but maybe above for many musiclisteners like me! So go on, checkin' them out and start with 'Tragedy' and then go to some of their earlier stuff like 'Lonely Days' and 'I've Gotta Get A Message To You'.
This has to be one of the most iconic bass riffs ever. Everyone recognizes it.
This beat definitely slaps. & has stood the test of time.
You MUST react to "You Should Be Dancing", one of the great bangers of all time. The Bee Gees always ended their concerts with this song. I dare you to sit still while listening to this- no way that happens. Facts!
I agree!! I love that song. Please do a reaction video to "You should be dancing" 🔥🔥🔥
That smile says it all! The Bee Gees were the greatest ever! Their music touches your heart and soul!! You'll go down the rabbit hole!
They were arguably one of the most successful groups ever.
Also, what many people do not know is that the Bee Gees were prolific song writers for other musical artists.
Your body takes over when you hear this 🎵
That, and every time you watch a movie/TV show and see some bad-ass strutting down the street it pops into your head whether it is in the sound track or not. :-)
This song was recorded with 100 beats per minute which 100 chest compressions per minute are required in CPR and the song will give you something to go by. Genius.
Greg, this is when they actually wrote good songs and the artists honed their craft. A lot of songs today just don't have the same flare. They all sound the same in all genres.
Don't forget the excessive use of auto tune makes so many song cringe inducing to hear.
You just dont listen to the right music. Plenty of current artists ARE still allround artists. You just dont hear them on the radio often.
Yes, the older songs that have withstood the times are good. But dont use that to look down on this generation.
@@lolalo6344 I do agree that there are still wonderful artists out there today. A lot of times we just don't hear them on the main stream.
This was disco time when this was out. The clubs were full of this kinda music. You won't find many people doing Bee Gees at karaoke.
Bull shit you see alot of beegees songs on karaoke especially the 60s songs and songs like islands in the stream
There is a reason the name Bee Gees is still kicked around. They were just awesome.
I'm 74 years old, this was MY generation's music. Your right, no matter where we were, or what we were doing, we heard this beat, you gotta MOVE!!!! Brings back sooo many memories!
"The Bump" "The Double Bump" The Hustle",, All these were Dance Songs, Plus Many More,,of their songs,,, Back in the day,,💖
This song changed my life, for better or for worse. The Brothers Gibb took a lot of flack for their disco era but I think enough time has gone by that we can all agree they were f-ing awesome.
The Bee Gees are one of the greatest all time groups, writing all their own songs and other peoples songs too.
The joy on your face awesome
A good song is when you u smile all the way through.
Three brothers doing what they do best. Inducted into the Rock N Roll and Song writers hall of fame. They wrote over 1000 songs, for themselves and others. Check out an early song that they wrote for Otis Redding but he died before he could record it, so they recorded it; Barry was 21 and the twins Robin and Maurice were 18 , the song is "To Love Somebody". This is probably the deepest rabbit hole out there.
I envy you! The Bee Gees, Queen and Home Free. So many great performances ahead! (More great artists, too.)
Love the Bee Gees they are the best group ever. So much talent in these brothers, they have thousands of songs they have written and wrote for others. You are right the music is so good. You are a great reactor!! ...You should be Dancing.....Night Fever....Nights on Broadway....Alone.....You win Again......To love Somebody......One......She keeps on coming.....so very many songs.
My Era of music. ANY song you listen to by The Bee Gees will not disappoint. Love these Gibb Brothers
What can you say, they are the Bee Gees. Love your reaction!
LOVE watching your age group discovering the awesome music I grew up with! It's like discovering thd music for the first time all over again! Keep it up!! 🤗 💞
I know right?; It's the greatest thing, seeing younger generations listen to and really hear the music of these days past! Great music we had back then and it's so awesome to see the youngers love and appreciate it! It gives us, who were there, even a greater appreciation of all of it, well for me anyway lol! It's awesome!
Hell I’m up dancing the staying alive dance lmao
The BEE gees are awesome
Love watching the younger people getting into the music that we got to hear back in the day when we were young.
the BeeGees are undoubtedly one of the best groups of all time. No question!
One of the best songs written and sung, I’m 69 and BeeGees are right up there with the Beatles, you’d like Fanny Be Tender With My Heart , Tragedy and Too Much Heaven, loved your expression when the music came on, they’re 3 brothers and their harmonies, can’t be beat
Music was real back in the day. No auto correct. No computer generated sound effects. Real voices that were recorded and played as they really sound. Alive. The voices were STAYING ALIVE.
My favorite group! 3 brothers with harmonies that can't be touched. They wrote their own songs and wrote hit songs for others too!
You are right, it makes you move!!!Loved watching you see this. There's so much great music from the Bee Gee's. So many millions of people love them all age's. They were a gift to Remember. Their music will live on thru all eternity.
I saw the BeeGees in concert at the St Paul Civic Center on July 21, 1979, exactly 43 years ago today, the day I just happened to watch your reaction of "Stayin' Alive." I had forgotten the date, and looked it up. Crazy coincidence. They had such a great Set List of songs, all the hits and more. It was totally awesome!
Over 1000songs BeeGees! Write a lot of soundtracks!
My 21 year old daughter is OBSESSED with them!!! And I am too!!! 😂😂😂
I used to dance the Latin Hustle to this song when I went clubbing back in the day. Those were the High School years back in NYC. I still dance to these songs when I hear them. You can also do the Bus Stop which is line dancing pretty much. This song always brings back good memories with old friends from the block and the high school years🥰 now I play this music with my granddaughters and my grandson because I try to keep that good music alive and pass it on. My generation had the best music 60s 70s and 80s✌🏻
I remember that song echoing the seventies and eighties, I couldn't go anywhere without hearing staying alive. Great song Greg. Rhec4life
I'm 59. I grew up with this. HAPPY MUSIC. LOL
BeeGees one of Gods gifts to humanity!!
I love seeing the look of recognition come across reactor's faces when they react to this one. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Was even better when you lived it! I had those bell bottom pants! They were banana yellow! Lol
I was a teenager in the 70's So glad i grew up to the best music around .
It makes me smile to see you getting into the music. I grew up with these songs and my older sister used to play this on the "record player" over and over again. Lovely reaction , I'm enjoying watching a lot. Thank you.
I first heard them sign “to love somebody” & “Massachusetts” in 1967. But they started singing together as small children. They just finally hit it big in 1967. Then they really cashed in during the disco era. 🎵🎶😀👍
Love to see u spreading ur wings! U can't go wrong with these guys! Dance dance, dance! Great reaction!💃💃
You're so right about moving whether you want to or not. This song grabs your jive mechanism. I'm oooold and I still get moving in my chair and mouthing lyrics like I'm singing with them. LOVE this song! Great reaction and commentary!
The greatest disco song of all time!
bee gees too much heaven
I'm glad to see a youngster being so happy with this song👍👍🥰.
They day its a small world but its amazing how you can miss so much, including one of the most successful groups in misic history. Welcome to this world, and enjoy.
Love the Bee Gees. Their music is timeless. Legends. This is another group that has so much content for you to listen to. Night Fever is one of my most favorites, and How Deep Is Your Love. They also have written many songs for other artists, and sung with other artists, like Lionel Richie
Bro! I am going to have to watch Saturday Night Fever again now! If you ain't seen it chillax and watch it!
The Bee Gees were kings back in the day!!!!
No auto tune for those amazing musician's. Love love love the Bee Gees.😎💕💕💕🇿🇦
Thanks! I am such a huge, huge Bee Gees fan, forever have been! Look up one of their documentaries sometime and also look for their songs they wrote, not only for themselves, but for so many other great singers. They had so many, many #1 hits they wrote besides what they sang themselves. Super talented guys!! Their story is quite something!! I also grew up in the 60s and 70s and man, there were great songs that are still classics today! Take care and thanks. Connie (Oops, this isn't me! I have no idea how this Kitten comes up for me when I'm on my computer and all. Problem I better figure out!
It was so fun to watch you enjoy this song and these amazing singers! Great reaction.
The shock value of the young Thundacats when they hear some of these classic songs is always heartwarming!!
How can you not love these boys? I actually would love to see a reaction to baby brother Andy Gibb's song "Shadow Dancing". It's completely awesome and the big brothers do backup for him on it.
As Dagmar. points out, this was their late-1970s *comeback* ; they'd had great success in the 1960s/early 70s, but faded a bit. But they were given a chance to write songs for the movie ("Saturday Night Fever") and grabbed the chance. I'm glad to see you've done "How Deep is Your Love", but don't forget "Night Fever" either.
As for the early work which too many neglect, "New York City Mining Disaster 1941" is a must (don't be put off by the title) and there's a reason "To Love Somebody" gets covered so much. (The Janis Joplin version is kind of wild, but I like the original the best.)
Thanks again
That was when we all wore those Big ass Bell-bottom jeans,, or Daisy-Dukes,,, & Halter tops, with
'GO-Go Boots'!!👢💫💝
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack……definitely a great one here for sure. These brothers are unbelievable.❤️🎥🎼🎶❤️
I'm a 2000s born, so you know I wouldn't really know much of the Songs before 2000, the only old songs/artists I actually grew up listening to was Michael Jackson. But then most songs I heard in Movies were those before 2000. The most recognizable songs I've heard were "We Will Rock You" and "Somebody to Love" by Queen and of course, I've heard "Staying Alive" a lot, to the point that everytime I hear it I would just dance subconsciously, this song is such a vibe that I wish I was alive when it came out.
‘Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother”… I NEVER heard that line.. in 60 years of listening to that song! What? Dammmmmm
When I first heard of these guys everyone thought they were Aussies. They were born on The Isle of Man. They moved to Australia in the 60's. They released 2 unsuccessful albums there so decided to move back to England later in the 60s. They were so unsuccessful they took a BOAT to England. On the way to England they heard one of their songs was #1 in Oz. They had a great career prior to Saturday Night Fever. They starred in the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie! Listen to their non disco stuff like "Words" or "Too Much Heaven". Enjoy! They actually considered themselves songwriters first. Literally hundreds of artists have performed their songs. For instance "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny and Dolly was written by them. It helps they were brothers and the younger 2 (Robin and Maurice) were fraternal twins. They had been singing together since they were children as they were a musical family. They had a younger brother Andy who was also a performer. His was a tragic story as he was addicted to coke and was depressed. Part of his depression was due to his breakup with Victoria Principal. He was in rehab then attempting a comeback when he succumbed to heart issues due to his cocaine use.
Welcome to The Bee Gees!!!! They are legends!!!!! Great reaction!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think it’s called musical talent.
Love that you appreciate them so much. Way before autotune. Raw talent of 3 brothers who wrote and sang their own songs! Grew up with them. Favorite to this day (and I’m 70!)
Better vocalist and no auto tune in them days, I attended a Bee Gees concert in Las Vegas they were absolutely amazing live, another amazing Uk 🇬🇧 band , Bee Gees even though they were amazing vocalist, they also considered themselves foremost song writers before vocalist, they have a vast catalog of songs, they wrote songs for Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and K Rogers , Diana Ross and many others !
Australian?
@@looneygardener they moved to Australia when they was kids they was actually born in the uk Barry holds duel citizenship British and American.
@@looneygardener they were born on the Isle of Man and held British citizenship. Only in Australia for 9 years. Barry was nearly 12 and the twins were nearly 9 when they moved to Australia in 1958. Moved back to England in 1967. Never gave up their British citizenships. Not Aussies. Brits.
A masterpiece of a song 👍🏼
Aloha enjoy your timeline yeah stay rocking now you know they exist stay in good spirits and best of health from an ex us marine Vietnam era music keeps us alive Semper Fi oooorah ciaos
Well done brother ✌
Whooo!!!! Yes!!!! Another great!!! Love that you appreciate it for real!!! They are bangers!! I wore this album out!!!
