- To promote their latest album and title song "Living Eyes", here are the brothers Gibb on the Phil Donahue talk show from 1981.
Note: The airdate is based off KTSM's airing in El Paso, and may have aired at a slightly different time since syndication bicycling was still in use at the time.
Oh, the charisma and energy flowing from these three guys sitting on a stage with two acoustic guitars! It is no wonder they’ve had mega hit songs spanning 5 decades! Their music is timeless and they’ll always be remembered as three bright lights in a dark world who brightened all our lives with their amazing ability to write and sing songs full of love and joy.

Rosemarie, what was that?!
These brothers are something else, I guess everyone agrees with me. I lost count how many times I’ve watch this.!!
You’ve communicated thoughts (similar to mine) so well. Thank you.

My mom was at this show and asked a question toward the end. She passed away in 2014. It was amazing to find this video and share it with my Dad. Thank you!
I'm so happy for you that you found a clip of your mom that you will have forever. I'm so sorry for your loss. Which question did she ask? I just now came across this video. I can't believe 40 years have passed so quickly. Take care, Jean.

Thank you. At 39 minutes 30 seconds she asked a question.
@@brianwilson6170 I thought she asked a great question. And she looks so sweet!
How awesome for you to find this. I absolutely loved them back in the day!!
Thank you!
Bee Gees one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
When talking about the early days even though they had probably discussed it hundreds of times, they had enthusiasm.
This goes beyond professionalism.
These guys had heart.
I agree!
Well said 👏
It's even hard to put into words, These guys are so talented,, nobody will
E ver come close to replacing them, or even compare to them,
Their songs are timeless,
They will be missed, but their legacy will live on !!!!
Love to you guy's......
No matter how many years go by I haven't found 3 men I respect and admire more than these 3!! Love Barry for keeping on with the music 🎶 🎵
Me either. There never will be in my eyes and heart.
They make beautiful music together ❤ 😂❤😊🎉❤❤❤ Love them forever!!!
Agree with all of you!🎶
Il aurait mieux fait d'arrêter de chanter Barry. Sans les meilleurs, il n'était rien du tout et physiquement..... dur de le supporter
@@odileb9559de acuerdo! Sin sus hermanos no es nada! Los Bee Gees fueron tres y muy buenos!
I absolutely love the camaraderie between brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb. Their unique personalities, incredible voices and songs have charmed audiences for decades. Despite personal hardships and an ever changing music industry, the Bee Gees soothed themselves with music. They were able to re~invent their sound into timeless classic love songs that resonate with people of all ages. The world is truly blessed by the phenomenal talent and legacy of the Bee Gees. R.I.P. Andy, Maurice and Robin. You are loved and your music will touch hearts and souls around the the world forever. May Barry be comforted by memories of brotherly good times and the music they shared 🕊✨️💫❤️🔥🎉. From Ontario, Canada 🫶

Beautifully said❤
Aucune camaraderie (ils sont des frères, il me semble) entre eux à cause de Barry qui voulait être la vedette et lisez ce qu'il a osé dire sur eux.
Well said, Kathleen!🥰
Amen to that!
The Bee Gees, the Best! Most groups would be content to have written one hit for themselves, they wrote hits for Dionne Warwick, Franki Valli, Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton&Kenny Rogers, Celine Dion and many Others. A great deal is made of disco but in the end good music is good music and The Bee Gees made great music. Rest In Peace Maurice, Robin and Andy. Hang in there Barry.
How can anyone not like them.
Gawd, Barry is like a Greek God. Even all these years later you can still feel it. I was not even a big fan back in the day but I can sure see it now. I wonder how I missed it back then.
💯💯💯
their most unique voices.!!
I feel exactly the same way about Barry So Sexy So everything Gift from God🙏💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel exactly the same as you about Barry Sexy Hunk ❤️
Barry is such a chosen one. He's polite,extremely, intelligent ,loving ,and caring, generous,pleasant, sweet,great sense of humor, along with being funny,a family man in addition to being one of the sexiest of men to ever walk the earth.Simply gorgeous eye candy that you can sop up with a biscuit 😀 😍 🥰❤ I will love, love,love, him forever until I close my eyes🤗🥰 every man needs to mimic how Barry conducts himself and has extreme deep and undying love for his wife of 53ys. He's a Gem and a gentleman 💎🎩 👑 God Bless him🙏😇
Im a beegees fan forever.im so glad they came alone and blessed my life with their music, talent.
Because of their graciousness, poise, sense of humour, generosity and professionalism they rescued this from being a train wreck. Donahue made this feel like an interrogation more than an interview and clearly he was more interested in salatious gossip. There were moments I felt embarrassed for them but it's Donohue that should be ashamed of himself.
Obviously agree.
Well said!
I thought Donahue was trying to be a child psychologist. I mean, dont know if he's really interested in knowing them to the little details for the sake of learning or he's just gossiping..
Not sure what Phil was doing.
He may have been intimidated by their immense talent.
I think that may be part of it.
Phil was really just a good catholic boy from Dayton Ohio.
He may of thought he was out of their league.
The lads probably understood this and cut Phil some slack.
I agree!!
Our handsome Bee Gees in their 30s.
So talented.
Haha I'm in my early 30's now too and I still love them
@@ambersalcove I really there Are many Moore in your age WHO loved them.This was great music , and still is.They desserved that
So talented, & so handsome! YUMMY!
@@ambersalcove I'm STILL in love w/Barry Gibb! 75 & still HOT! He has the life long mojo that people like Sean Connery & Christopher Plummer had.(rip) TOTAL HEART THROBS no matter what their age!
Hoje 3 de setembro 2022 ouvindo a melhor banda de todos os tempo Bee Gees
These guys are THE BEST EVER!!! What amazed me is their huge catalog of music and no 2 songs sound alike!!!😊
These dudes are so unbelievably great its amazing how we will not ever hear Music in this tremendous form ever again......damn they were sensational
They were absolutely fantastic together. All three of them melding together to create such gorgeous music.
I'm so thankful to have had experienced these three musical geniuses in real time...💖
💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
Check out Barry's new album Greenfields. Old BeeGees songs colab w/country singers. The songs we love w/the country artists we love!
It’s funny cuz what one perceived as being cutting edge music at that present moment, now, looking back is actually even categorized as classic music as in included with 50s, 60s & 70s era.
Life was amazing too, the machine rules now
The harmonies these three brothers produce is just phenomenally unique and distinctive. It’s so very sad that there will be no more music by them. I was devastated by the death of Andy, who tragically died way too soon. Andy’s speaking voice was very similar to Barry’s and he looked so much like him as well. All four Gibb brothers are all very grounded and humble even though they were immensely successful.
There is no one like the Bee Gees. No harmony can match theirs, and Eve has a voice all his own. I have been a fan of theirs since 1976 no music makes me feel Noel like I felt then Robin and Maurice rest in peace.❤❤❤
Humbles ? Le seul qui l'est vraiment est Maurice que l'on aurait dû laisser chanter plus que Barry ou Robin. Maurice avait une très jolie voix douce et il avait beaucoup d'humour. Ce groupe est le meilleur groupe du monde dont les 3 chanteurs avaient une jolie voix qui permettaient cette harmonie si belle. Pas de mise en avant de Barry un peu trop souvent ou de Robin, Maurice comptait aussi
@@odileb9559vous avez tout à fait raison. Maurice avait une très jolie voix, sans lui les deux autres frères se sont séparés, Maurice était celui qui tenait Robin et Barry ensembles the man in the middle , les deux autres voulaient la lumière que pour eux. Après le décès de Maurice, cela a été la fin des Bee Gees.

So true so true!!!!❤❤❤❤
All I can say I have loved all of these beautiful men for many years. I've watched this many many times. (2023)
Unbelievable talent- sounded so perfect and strong ! The Brother Gibb. Never will see the likes of such talent and class.
💘 ~ True❣
The Bee Gee's are just fantastic!!!!Their music is so lovely, it calm's me!!!! I have all their music!!!!! ❤❤❤... 🌹🌹🌹... 🎶🎶🎶... 😌😌😌😌......
The Bee Gees , the Beach Boys, the Jackson 5 are just a few family groups that have an undenial chemistry and bond that can't be imitated. They are what people refer to as the genuine article when describing someone or something.
@@davidsolomon7966 You are so correct!!!! 💯💯%......
__/nice 😊@@cynthiasmith4130
How lucky these people to have seen them performing up close and later interacting with them☺️
They saw Barry ❤️
Amazing group ever ......... Thanks to Barry he's still singing with his beautiful voice as though with his brothers !
Can’t wait till pandemic is over and see Barry live
I gotta say it was GREAT to see these guys answer questions from the audience so openly. Love them ! They are really good people . May Robin and Maurice rest in peace and may God bless their souls and bless Barry to go on . They will always be with you Barry if not in anything else in spirit !
Ese San filippo viene de Italia
The. Beegees. Are. Truly. Blessed. And. Talented. Also. Handsome. As. Well. God. Bless. Them. All.
May Robin, Maurice, and, Andy rest in peace. As the adage goes - They're gone, but not forgotten. God Bless you Barry !!! Love y'all bunches !!! 😻❣😍
Robin's smile lights up the whole room and his voice just melts my heart!!
Their songs were beautiful.
The voice of the Bee Gee's ...Robin❤
@@bobbitrapp4832 he was exceptional
Me too when Robin smiles make my day
Totally agree ♥️ Robin
Good to see Robin so animated. Loved his voice. Barry is my fav. They were so good here. I love it!
Brilliant songwiters and performers with a unique sound and instantly recognizable songs. Musical geniuses in my opinion. Also the songs they wrote for other performers are of the highest level. Saturday Night Fever, all the songs for Guilty (Barbara Streisand), Chain Reaction (Diana Ross), Islands in the Stream (Parton/Rogers), Heartbreaker (Dionne Warwick) to name but a few. Once in a liftetime talents.
OH...YES/OH...YES/OH...YES/ EVEN THOSE SONGS ARE MY FAVORITES WHEN ..YES WHEN THE BEE GEES SING THEN MOSTLY ISLAND IN THE STREAM AND MOSTLY WHEN BARRY SING GUILTY /ANDV YES I LIKE THE SINGERS SING THEM BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THGE BEE GEES ING THEM...
All those songs I loved the Bee Gees singing them as well.🍂
@@rob4everbgI so agree. I love to hear the singers who they wrote the songs for but I much prefer to hear the Bee Gees sing them❤❤❤
Love the Bee Gees and always will! Amazing music that will never go away!
Around the 10 minute mark where they just start casually playing songs is the best part of being around top class musicians, they can make anything sound good.
AMEN to THAT!😃
💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸

So many great songs that will live on forever.
I was only 8 at the time of this interview. I am still enamoured with them! Bless Barry to still have happiness even with the unfortunate passing of his 3 younger brothers way to early.
I was 17, and I still love their music today.
I'm 18& I am still listening 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 to their songs

I think that these voices were voices that fell from Heaven. Miss Robin and Mo deeply. If I should live to be 100 I will always love the BeeGees. I hope Barry continues performing for many years to com. God Bless You Barry.
I know what you mean ever since Maurice died in 2003 and Robin died as well in 2012 I've missed my chance to go to a BeeGees concert
Always loved their sound. Barry’s falsetto is amazing.❤️🎶🎶🙏🙏
Keep singing Barry.
What voices truly icons and brotherly love the great ones
I saw interview with Barry in2017 he said to have his brothers back for one day he would trade that for all the music they maid he loved them

They were all amazing in there own way.
their
Perfectly put. Each brother is so special. 🥰
Maurice is such a sweetie!!
Amazing! Totally down-to-earth! Wow! It's refreshing to see that they did what they did - for the music and the love of performing. But - I have to say - boy - they certainly nailed their 'style' of singing/Sound!!! 10/10 xx
Still love them. They were so much more than Saturday night fever❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺💜💜💜
I love the banter between them on stage! I'm just sick I never saw them live. 💗💗💗
Me too I'm saying
Yes, me too.
Me too. Total regret. I hope they can give a concert in heaven.
They're surely and honestly the greatest.! There'll never be replaced.
So nice to get to hear Robin and Maurice talk a bit also.
I love these guys.Amazing singer songwriters.They all three so handsame guys.❤️
I watch everything Bee Gees. The Brothers are my favorite group, I love and respect absolutely everything about them. They can do it all and with a sweetness that most successful groups can only dream of having, no wonder they just continued to be successful, we, their fans truly loved them and will always always love them💔💔❤️🌹🌹🌹FOREVER!!
Genius, pure genius.
Phil to Robin: You're identified as the metaphysical, deepest thinker.
Maurice: Oh, the nutcase.
Love their humor.
The voices, charm, style and grace. Best ever!💝💝💝
The best group. I love the Bee Gees the harmony was perfect I listen to them day and night. I don't ever get tired of their music. Love you all miss Robin and Maurice I still love Barry ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love them all & i really admired their passion 4 music...love their humility & very gravious to their fans...they keep on smiling even so pupular & still they keep their feet on the ground indeed beautiful people inside & out☺i love maurice when he smiles so sweet ...
Love that they were always ready to perform on the spot. Also how Robin seemed completely comfortable if not playing an instrument.
Bee gees are the best and have alot of manners they will always be in my heart always
I really miss the twins - whilst I never knew them personally, as an Australian from Brisbane, I still love them all to the Moon and back.
Hermosa cancion...Bee Gees por siempre y oara siempre ,tres hermanos tocados. Por la varita mágica de Dios , destinados a ser eternos en la música para deleite de todos nosotros❤❤❤❤
The MIRACLE THREE MAN GROUP - BeeGees, great, legendary song writing, priceless & perfect vocal harmonies and live performing genius!
So glad I lived when they were peaking. It was a great time to grow up listening to them
I live only thirty miles from Miami and Barry and met Maurice at Jimmies diner and he was so unaffected and loved his fans so much. I will try again to meet Sir Barry someday
I lived in Miami Beach in the 70s and used to walk/jog in North Miami Beach and saw a beautiful Rolls Royce go by and the Rolls stopped and backed up briefly and I saw FOUR big smiles .... it was the Bee Gees !!! They had backed up to wave Hello. I found out later they had a sound studio there! 💗💗💗💙💋💋💝💓💜
What's not to love. The fans made them millionaires.
@@catmother1989 OH MY GOSH YOU'RE SOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SAW ALL 4 BEAUTIFUL BROTHERS?! AAAHHHH!! I'm 21 and I so wish I was alive back then! Sadly now only Barry is alive, and I didn't even exist when the Bee Gees were at the height of their fame and touring, I wasn't in existence when Andy was alive either. I'm imagining myself in your situation, I would've squealed so loud, clutch my chest, and faint if I saw them so close up and smiling!!!!!! Thanks for sharing that memory!!
Hahaha I haven't even had my first meeting with him yet either
Oh Purrfection. The gorgeous twins and their hunkadorable brother. Forever loved!
Bee Gees are genuine, Icons, talented, gifted, humble, charming, generous donating to UNICEF BOSNIA children more..they inspired many people around the world.
Their destiny is to entertain the people and the world.
I love the way these guys just bust it out in interviews, as if singing is no different from talking. :-)
Always loved, never forgotten.

My childhood memories, Love Bee Gees forever😘😘😘
None ever better than The Bee Gees.❤
I love this interview and performance and Robin is so funny !! Love it !!
Thanks Barry for correcting him on Australia!!

Maurice Gibb is one of my style icons. He was so elegant!
Such a talented group, each one of them in their own special way
I love the long leather jacket and the hat Maurice wore in the 80s&90s! Maurice had great style. (I could do w/o the tight white pants in the 70's. That was a bit too much to see!)

We love so much beegees , fantastic band trio they are so cute!!!
Best band ever, of the hole world 💖
Adorable brothers, genius.
I grow up with the Bee Gees and stil listen to their music every day 🥰
Thanks Bee Gees for your gift.
These guys are extraordinary they have a distinctive sound that stands out their music stood the test of time Morris and Robins departure from this world was way too premature a complete miscarriage of justice R I P guys you will never be forgotton
How we can forget The Bee Gees? I was a teenager when they became the most successful group. I am in my sixties now and love to hear their music. Is is so sad that only Barry is still here.
I was in high school when this interview happened. Fun times, especially after discovering Robin. Previously, he was just the cute guy on the left of the group shot on the Fever album. After this, he was the only one I ever saw. Utterly yummy in every way, especially after finding the back catalogue and listening to him sing on his own. He demolished my heart. Adore you still delicious Robin. xxx
Oh Annie so true . I love Robin and he was so yummy. Missing him so much
I will forever m
I felt exactly the same way as you! I loved them all, but there was just something special about Robin.
@@amymarckel420 Absolutely there was something special about Robin. Something that just drew you to him. He's been my favorite from the start.
@@amymarckel420 I know! Robin is definitely special, I'm not totally sure what it is exactly that drew me in and kept me all these years. It's just Robin magic... :)
Most would find it difficult to be attracted to someone who counted the women he slept with as notches on a belt (Robin's own words, boasting about the 100+ women at the time). Mind you, that was during the mid to late 70's while he was married with 2 young children. No wonder Molly finally filed for divorce after finding him in a NYC hotel room with 2 women.😳That's anything but "delicious or yummy".
Exceptionally talented. No words to describe their greatness. Xx💙💙💙
I love them all dearly but Barry is my favorite. All brilliant!
Love this great interview with the Bee Gees--- informative and the boys are so real here.
Donahue had lost his step a bit by then. He got some facts wrong but he asked them questions no one ever has. He was interested in the little details, which is so rare now. The brothers Gibb were classy, clever and fun as always.
In 1981 he was still going strong.
Phil Donohue obviously did not do his research very well. So many things wrong with questions he asked & info he thought he knew. Maurice, Robin & Barry handled it like the pros they were
Yes. As allways! They were so kind and loving when hosts were clumsy! I remember just once Barry left the chair loosing patience with a host who was mocking their work.
They would have been so bloody grateful for the exposure he was giving them when others wouldn't during that time.
Non rehearsed for sure.
Our Bee Gees really shone like the stars that they are.
Donahue maybe could have done better but I
think it still was a success .
Not easy covering so much territory of information.
Three Brothers that would have been easier than most others to interview, simply because of their tremendous and individual personalities. Of course most women would have been content just to set and look. True eye candy‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️
I always love when they sing”Lilly pop”. The very first song they sang on stage. Can you imagine as young as14 and11 years old earn a living for their family. Their parents surely gave them the basic of family values. God bless Barbara and Hugh.
Barry Gibb is Mother Nature's Masterpiece!!!!
He knows that though, he had women crawling all over him.
😂😂😂
He could've had women crawling all over him but was always faithful to Linda after marriage, unlike Robin, who was allowed to roam freely with crawling critters!🫤
@@kthor Even those who write these comments know that Barry is loyal to his wife😃 they want to denigrate him in their own way, but the fact that there is not a single scandal in Barry's life makes their job difficult😉 because we know the private lives of Robin and Maurice.
Indeed. He is so handsome. And charming, too. And kind. And of course, insanely talented.
I fell in love with Living Eyes the moment I heard it here so I downloaded the whole album. And I discovered the rest of the songs there are so beautiful too, like Paradise, I Still Love You, He's a Liar, etc.. I would have bought it if I was already alive that time. Their songs just make you feel good no matter what the lyrics say.
Also love the song Be Who You Are, which was written by Barry & pretty much him giving the middle finger to the music industry & the world....for the backlash they received after 1979.🎼
@@kthor I love that one ,too. Barry always had guts and he was a fighter when it came to their music. Awesome man!♥♥♥♥
@@brcfan9 No doubt. The words in that song get me every time...."Be who you are. We were".
If anyone is watching this in 2021, AWESOME you are. Been a fan forever 🤩🤩🤩🔊🎶
Wish interviewers would quit looking for something awful. These three men are amazing musicians, songwriters and human beings.
I like Phil but think he wanted to hear about "bad" things.
All in all it was a pretty good interview.
Love the Bee Gees!!!
They have magnificent magical voices and music.
Robin looks so good with his hair long. They are handsome men. Wonderful songs. Great singers!!!!
Too straight & needed a trim.😑
forever a great group....
I love Robin!!!!!
This song reminds me so much of why I love ELO...and of course, the Bee Gees are my heart.
I am partial!!! I knew every word to everty song!! I'm 66 yrs old and they touched me like no other !!! They never sold out but kept true to their etheral essence !!! THEY SURELY WERE BLESSED!!!! They also took care of their blessed parents who iinfluenced & coached them thru it all!!!
I have never seen this interview before,, it is indeed a privilege.. thank you for presenting it..😊
Yes Robin looks amazing.He was so beautiful and gorgeous ,with a amazing voice and when he smile OMG.I like all three of them ,but Robin was always my favourite.♥️
May BRITT Rønningen You mean Barry. Robin’s the dorky looking one.

@@rob4everbg I have not listen too Barry so much alone , unless a few neser songs.I like listen too his new music , but not him singing BeeGees songs alone without his Brothers.He could not sing Robins songs , and the opposite.I have heard some country songs with him, and they Are beautiful.I understand that people want too hear the old stuff when he is on stage.
Bee gee for ever in my heart every song is a master peace God Bless you Barry RIP ANDY MAURICE AND and Robin
Thanks so much for posting this! Love remembering these wonderful times. Phil was the first talk show host I remember and seeing The Bee Gees in 1981 is amazing 🤩💕🙏
I don't think I ever saw this. I was off at college in November of 81. I was lucky enough to meet Barry earlier in '81. What an amazing experience!
Absolute legends. 👏
They are so agreeable and funny as well as their great sound nobody can touch their music
Barry and I have one thing in common I'm the last one left from my family, I lost my last brother the 20th May 2020. The Bee Gees will carry on for always as long as there is a Gibb alive God bless you always
The end of The Bee Gees was when Maurice passed in 2003 sadly. We still have their music.
Yes and no. As long as Barry’s spirit and essence is here some of the Bee Gees lives on. That’s what Barry has said he thinks his job is now, to keep the music alive.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful voices and songs 🎵 Bee Gees forever ❤❤❤

To relive these days, all over again 💕
The Living Eyes Album is a FINE piece of work.YES, both the singles failed to do much chartwise either heer in the UK or, it seems, in other territories.I think that was simply because people were expecting more of what they had before with the strident falsetto of the SHF album and were rather shocked (disappointed?) with what the album actually contained.Truth be told, at that point they could probably have come out with a career defining masterpiece but it would not have sold.The American "disco sucks" campaign caused great damage to many and tarnished anyone who could be "tagged" with the disco name.Beautiful stuff like "Wildflower" and "Be Who You Are (THAT intro!)are therefore strangers to the larger,music loving public to this day.At this same time, November 1981, they were here in Britain to promote both this single and album.They appeared one Saturday night on the Micheal Parkinson show, a very long running and prestigious programme. To close the show they did GORGEOUS version of Silent Night, only a bit of it, but enough for you to hear just HOW wonderfully Barry's voice sounds when backed by Robin's classic vibrato. Video: "Bee Gees .Silent Night Parkinson (1981)"
steve radford In 1981, Maurice was back, having kicked the bottle and wanted a way more active role, just like Robin.
But the big successes had been a result of Barry being in charge producing the sound millions loved, with Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson and their favorite session players.
The Living Eyes demo, of the title song, shows they got it right first. That still got the warm Fever sound, with a disco drumbeat and a very soothing electrical piano.
As a whole, the album was all over the place and too difficult to market, cause the Twins wanted to be profiled individually with their songs.
Yet the audience was accustomed to complex refined songs with a lot of warmth mixed with darkness by then. All the hits for Andy were creative complex masterpieces by Barry, mainly.
It never hurt to leave him in charge, it always paid off.
Oh, Steve, thanks for the referrals of songs, I will check them out. The media/critics WERE biased and totally into trying to control public opinion about the Bee Gees. It's just indicative of the liberal media/controlling elite's agenda to scrub our culture free of any public figures in music who portray a faith-filled, positive life, a loving home life where they are faithful to one wife and attentive to their kids; who model a spiritual outlook to life. Boy, do I have a soapbox about liberal media and their desire for thought-control. In short, everybody: check out alternative news sources such as the Drudge Report and Alex Jones News, because the liberal thought-controlling elite's censoring of the Bee Gees is just the tip of the iceberg in how they baldly lie and try to control public opinion. CNN, MSN, etc. are consummate, skilled liars. Period. Don't even turn on their channels! Why fill your head with "news makers" who have proven to lie and cover up the truth over the years: JFK's murder by LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover; murders of MLK, RFK, JFK, Jr.; hellooo -- all the 150 or so murders the Clintons are responsible for --- I could go on and on about them lying about education, vaccines (containing known neuro toxins of aluminum, formaldehyde and mercury!!!), etc. but hey, you can get the picture if you inform yourself and THINK about it. Don't drink liberal Kool Aid!!!
Lying Eyes, was written for a UK music donation to young children who had learning disabilities to help them learn with music. I've taught for many years and I'll tell you that had the Bee Gee's not done Music Cares music wouldn't be so vital to children with or without disabilities.
It was really bad when radio stations banned their music and when the disco sucks crowd burned their records. That is why they had to go and write songs for and produce other artists. They were very successful doing that. They did especiaiy well with Barbra Streisand and Kenny Rogers.
@@narniagirl1574 odd you should blame the "Disco Sucks" period on liberals. Disco started in the gay and black underground clubs because it was illegal at the time for 2 people of the same sex to dance together. Sounds pretty conservative to me.
Barry looks so gorgeous and charming in suit ❤❤
Thank you my Lord, for giving us the Bee Gee's as long as you have.
