Barry was heavily influenced by American R & B, most notably Motown, The Defonics, and Chi-Lites. Also they wrote To Love Somebody for Otis Redding but he died so they recorded it. The one person who influenced Barry to sing falsetto was Russell Tompkins of The Stylistics.
Barry was badly burned at 18 months old when he pulled a teapot over on to himself. He has a lot of scars on his chest. He spent months in the hospital because of the burns and then almost died again from infection. He didn't talk until he was three. Never stopped him from showing that chest. Impressive.
Incredible, especially back then. Pure pure talent. Shows you that auto tune isn't the answer to everything in music. It's heart, will, desire and passion towards there profession that counts....
@@DellyDoounfortunately its not live muti tracked and mostly Barry i can give the track break down if necessary didnt feel like typing that much but you can hear theirs way to much going on for even 3 great brothers as they were.
Nice to see 3 mature men who have the good sense to not stop the BeeGees in the middle of this masterpiece!! I appreciate your beautiful reaction!!!😊❤️
This was in time when you could take your girl and dance and romance her the music back then was so beautiful. The kids don't know what they missed so sad 😢
The song was done for unicef to raise money I believe it's raised as of today around 10 million. Barry .mo.and Robin and that harmony is unforgettable. Loved them since I was 14 skating in the 70s now being 60 yrs old I still love the magic. Have a blessed day❤
Being a 70s rocker , zep etc..Bee Gees were so good you couldn't help but like them secret or out loud. Song still gives me chills. Best harmonies ever. They only did 1 disco album sountrack, worth going down their rabbit hole.
Tony, I’m with you 100% I’m a big Zep, stones, Allman bros fan etc. back in those days I was in junior high and if you openly said you were a Bee Gees fan you could catch a beatin for speaking such blasphemy. I could only listen to them in secret back in the 70s. It just wasn’t cool to be a Disco boy when you hung with the heads or rockers.
💯 lol. As a girl who liked to dance, you could get away with liking The Bee Gees. Still, I didn’t mention that I owned Bee Gees albums around my rocker friends. (Or that us girls also had the Andy Gibbs album. 😍) 🤘🫶
@kathiek4239 i didn't like Andy Gibb until I saw him on the Midnight Special, but then I again I had to keep that on the down low. He was actually a very talented musician as well .
The perfection of savants born with perfect pitch! It’s amazing to think these men cannot read music and they were singing in perfect harmony when the twins were only 5 years old and Barry was 8! Truly a gift to music!
Disco was a very small part of their music. Their first hits were in the 60s. Their last release was 2001, two years before Maurice died. All three could sing falsetto, but it was usually Barry. Maurice sings falsetto in the Midnight Special video of them singing "Nights on Broadway",
Their range, harmony and song writing skills are second to none. The brothers brilliant never disappoint. Before auto tune was even invented. The talent in this family is insane!
I cannot overemphasize how much we friggin loved Barry Gibb. He was so pretty it hurts. But the vocal skills of the brothers was always pretty amazing.
And how many artists can do what they did back then: (1) Perform live without a backup track (2) Film the recording of a song in 1 take to perfection And (3) Stay relevant for so many decades. I’m 43 and grew up listening to a LARGE variety of music, and the Bee Gee’s are still my favourite of all time
"Too Much Heaven" is a song by the Bee Gees, which was the band's contribution to the "Music for UNICEF" fund. They performed it at the Music for UNICEF Concert on 9 January 1979 raise over $10 million for UNICEF . Peace out.
Love your reaction. I grew up with The Bee Gees (and yes, I’m a Black female), and I had a mad crush on Barry growing up. Please also note that they wrote ALL THEIR SONGS too! More songs to react to by The Bee Gees: How Deep Is Your Love You Should Be Dancing Fanny be tender with my love Love So Right Jive Talking Nights on Broadway Tragedy More than a woman Love you inside out To love somebody Massachusetts Alone Lonely Days How Can you mend a broken heart Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb): If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman) Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs. Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals. Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. More Than a Woman (Tavares) Love Me (Yvonne Elliman) Come on Over (Olivia Newton John) Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it. Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli) Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer) Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb A lot of Andy Gibb songs
When all three dudes heads are boppin', you know it's a banger. Don't matter what comes out their mouths next, they were bopping. Barry does have the meat taco out on this one. lol.
Here I am, as usual, I was going to listen to just ONE reaction to this song and here I am listening to the 5th reaction of the same song. Happens to me every time, I love their music and just get drawn in.
Oops, misspelled. BARRY not Barr, Gibb was/is the oldest of the 4 brothers. His falsetto was incredible. I loved their music .🎶 He is the last living Gibb brother at 78. Still married to the same woman (Linda Gray an Australian) since 1970. And still working. All the brothers started singing and performing together as children. Way before they hit big.
I never paid much attention to the Bee Gees until 1997 when they released Still Waters. Then I went back and listened to everything they did and have been a fan ever since. You guys should check out their music from the '60s, it was very different than everything that came later.
I love the 70s and that look with the hair and the beard, like the disciples or something. But I just really enjoyed this music when I was growing up, and now I get to appreciate it looking more at the artistry and musical talent that goes behind it
I’m 70 years old, so I’ve been a fan of The Bee Gees since the ‘60’s pre disco era. Check out To Love Somebody, I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You, I Started A Joke, Massachusetts.
Now please don't take this the wrong way There are some great groups out there Old and new But None of them Canonize And sing in perfect tune like the bee gees There will never be another group like them
Sadly Barry is the last one left, 3 other brothers have passed, All talented all beautiful singers and the younger brother Andy was on his way to be a superstar. Something bout 70s music ,it was just great.
I love this song. It was played in dance clubs (Disco's back then) for a long time. You could kiss a partner in the slow bit and rock out dance to the heavy metal part.
Idk why it's taken me all of these years, but maybe Barry got those high notes so well was because his pants were so tight! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️ Btw, I don't go there much anymore, but I'm gonna dance on over to fb!
Yes, The Stylistics, You Make Me Feel Brand New. LOVE that song so much! Hey, check out Simply Red's rendition of You Make Me Feel Brand New.. more proof that soul has no color. And yes, Barry Gibb was fine in the day. The Gibb brother's (all four) very talented! I loved the Bee Gees long before their disco run. Robin Gibb's voice in Massachusetts & I Started a JOKE is hauntingly beautiful. Voices of angels I always said.
These guys were in the rock and roll Hall of Fame and the songwriters Hall of Fame.They wrote songs for Dione warick Diana Ross a full album for Barbara Stiesand,also Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers just to name a few..They had 100 songs that charted,I only know of 1 song they sang that they didn't write themselves.Not only were they genius songwriters and all great singers with harmonies unmatched they were great guys very down to earth
@@Cosmo-Kramer they absolutely refute that, those songs were not even originally made for that soundtrack and that's only reason they got put under that umbrella, they wrote those as r&b/dance songs.. they are the creaters of those songs if they say their not, then to me their not. Who are we to tell them ehat their own music represents or is .....for record I love what was labeled disco....oh and luv your reactions btw..
@@angelapietro4734 They can refute it 'til the cows come home, but they made lots of Disco songs. They just didn't like being famous for that because fans of their late '70s Disco songs showed little to no interest in their earlier work, so they began to resent the Disco songs that made them megastars. Just because they made the songs before the SNF soundtrack, that doesn't mean anything because Disco was around for several years before that movie. As for you loving my reactions, I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not a reactor.
@@Cosmo-Kramer that's your opinion, my opinion is right on track with theirs..and no they didn't hate the music or disco for that matter that's just not what that music was to them, and they are actually very proud of the songs on that soundtrack ..
@@angelapietro4734 Maurice is on record saying that he and his brothers grew to resent their Disco songs because they attracted so many new fans who were only interested in hearing those songs, and none of their previous work from earlier in the '70s and '60s. This is not an uncommon phenomenon for artists. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin grew to hate their iconic hit, "Stairway To Heaven", because it was all any reporter or fan ever wanted to talk about or hear them play. Sir Alec Guinness, is an even more perfect parallel to the brothers Gibb. Alec was an esteemed actor in Britain for decades before he played Obi Wan Kenobi in, STAR WARS, and he resented that the new fans of his only cared about him as Obi Wan. Hell, Harrison Ford had a similar disdain for his iconic character of, Han Solo, in STAR WARS, because even though he went on to perform in many other great roles throughout his career, he felt he was always viewed by the fans as, Han Solo, because that's what they always wanted to ask him about. It got to the point that he would only go on talk shows under the condition that the host not ask him anything about, STAR WARS. So you can believe what you want, sweetheart, but Maurice has explicitly said they resented their Disco songs soon after releasing them, because those songs defined their group in the eyes of so many fans, and the brothers felt like they had so much great music that pre-dated their Disco period, that hardly any fans showed any interest in hearing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The flip side of this single was actually a Country song called REST YOUR LOVE!!! The other #1s were Stayin Alive, Night Fever (already reacted to), HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE, Tragedy, and LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT. Please react to all of them!!
They loved the Mills brothers and the Stylistics. They were brought up on the Mills Brothers. They had been around long before disco and had 3 Platinum Discs before Saturday night Fever came into being. They first appeared on television in 1960. They had their first No 1 in 1967.
Woman In Love by Barbra Streisand is a Barry Gibb production, writing and backing-vocal masterpiece. He captures her voice so well on the whole Guilty album, it's a real testament to how studio production can create such a wonderful pure sound.
Those of us who follwed this from the 60s were not surprised at versatile their happens to be. Having said that all my favorite BeeGee songs are led by Robin.
We look back at the disco era, sort of laugh sometimes at what they wore, their music etc, but it's weird to think that the next generation coming will do the exact same thing back at us for what we wear now and the music we like these current days. I guess no one is getting out of it, lol.
Let's have some fun together and join our Facebook group This Is It Media by clicking the link facebook.com/groups/698184405814607/?ref=share
Real voices, real instruments, well crafted lyrics - No machine to make up for their shortcomings
They donated all proceeds from this song to UNICEF. Great singers, songwriters and people.
I actually have thison vinyl 😊
@@WyldPinkyI have the 45 record of this song.
Barry was heavily influenced by American R & B, most notably Motown, The Defonics, and Chi-Lites. Also they wrote To Love Somebody for Otis Redding but he died so they recorded it. The one person who influenced Barry to sing falsetto was Russell Tompkins of The Stylistics.
I absolutely LOVE the Bee Gees. So many beautiful songs but you MUST listen to Love You Inside Out. So good!!
They harmonized so well it sounds like one person !! These guys were amazing
Barry was badly burned at 18 months old when he pulled a teapot over on to himself. He has a lot of scars on his chest. He spent months in the hospital because of the burns and then almost died again from infection. He didn't talk until he was three. Never stopped him from showing that chest. Impressive.
I am very thankful for seeing older ppl react to actual vocals and music…
The Bee Gees are the only group in music history to have number one hits in THREE DIFFERENT DECADES. Boom. End of comparison to anybody else for me.
Live, 1 take, no autotune, no gimmicks, just pure talent...
This is 27 tracks of three-part harmony, with just Barry on 18 tracks, and then him & the twins together on the other 9.
Uh no. Not even close. Look up the background to this song and stop making up lies.
Incredible, especially back then. Pure pure talent. Shows you that auto tune isn't the answer to everything in music. It's heart, will, desire and passion towards there profession that counts....
Nope its just a music video. Not live at all
@@DellyDoounfortunately its not live muti tracked and mostly Barry i can give the track break down if necessary didnt feel like typing that much but you can hear theirs way to much going on for even 3 great brothers as they were.
Nice to see 3 mature men who have the good sense to not stop the BeeGees in the middle of this masterpiece!! I appreciate your beautiful reaction!!!😊❤️
And Barry (singer) is the only Gibb Brother alive today. He’s 77 now.
God bless him. ❤❤❤
🙏❣️
I`m in "Love" with Barry....since I first heard them in the 60`s !! 💕🤭
And he's been married to his second wife since 1970!!
Shout out to the orchestra, they killed it too.
Their catalogue is second to none! The disco was a very small part of their entire career.
They have lots of R & B and soul songs like this one.
This was in time when you could take your girl and dance and romance her the music back then was so beautiful. The kids don't know what they missed so sad 😢
The song was done for unicef to raise money I believe it's raised as of today around 10 million. Barry .mo.and Robin and that harmony is unforgettable. Loved them since I was 14 skating in the 70s now being 60 yrs old I still love the magic. Have a blessed day❤
That is awesome, I didn't know they did that.
Love All of your reactions but Corey, yours is the best!!! Love me some Bee Gees! So many hits! ❤❤❤
Love this song. Barry's falsetto reverberates through the decades of time.

I was about 16 when this came out. Love it. Sad Barry is the only one left. He misses his brothers.
I’m a head banger who loved The Bee Gees👍
I cannot overemphasize how much we friggin loved Barry Gibb. He was so pretty it hurts. But the vocal skills of the brothers was always pretty amazing.
Amen to all that!
Awesome song forever!!! If you love the Bee Gees this is one of their best!! This is part of what they called "Blue-eyed Soul".
They were my absolute FAVORITE band when I grew up, I had all their records and albums! I have been around since the 40's!
👍 love how Corey enjoys a song he likes with his beautiful smile & finger dancing 😁 2 great trios...BeeGees harmonies & ThisIsIt crew enjoying it 😍😘
There definitely was a purpose for them to be here it's too out of this world.
Your next one should be “Love you inside out”, “Fanny be Tender with my love”
I grow up with the best Group ever. Nobody can switch there Voices like the Bee Gees. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet ❤❤❤
They sold over 200 million albums and wrote over 1000 songs.
Best harmonies in the business ❤
The 70's, best decade for music from all genres.
My favorite era for the Bee Gees was the late 60s and early 70s
And how many artists can do what they did back then:
(1) Perform live without a backup track
(2) Film the recording of a song in 1 take to perfection
And (3) Stay relevant for so many decades.
I’m 43 and grew up listening to a LARGE variety of music, and the Bee Gee’s are still my favourite of all time
This is just a music video. It is not a live recording. Its a very complex song with many, many layers.
Exactly! Live 1 Take...No Computer Fake music..These are real musicians playin in perfect tune. AND The Bee Gees singing live! No Auto Tune B.S
.!!
"Too Much Heaven" is a song by the Bee Gees, which was the band's contribution to the "Music for UNICEF" fund. They performed it at the Music for UNICEF Concert on 9 January 1979 raise over $10 million for UNICEF . Peace out.

Helps the falsetto!
Robin was so gorgeous to me.

Fannie, Be Tender With My Love is another Bee Gees banger worth checking out!
❤ Robin Gibb my fave!
I’m 70 years old, so I’ve been a fan of The Bee Gees since the ‘60’s pre disco era. Check out To Love Somebody, I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You, I Started A Joke, Massachusetts.
Yes, Love them. I had a picture of Him on my wall. Before all the chemicals,additives and extra carbs, everybody used to be buttons off sexyback then.
The Bee Geesvhad such a huge catalogue and the vast majority was not disco.
🔥
Now please don't take this the wrong way There are some great groups out there Old and new But None of them Canonize And sing in perfect tune like the bee gees There will never be another group like them
At the moment I'm loving Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song, you should definitely react to it!
I love both the bee gees and the stylistics.. I saw the stylistics years ago at the keswick theater here in Pennsylvania
Love this song! It was the first 45 I bought in the 70’s! I still have it! ❤️❤️
So talented
Sadly Barry is the last one left, 3 other brothers have passed, All talented all beautiful singers and the younger brother Andy was on his way to be a superstar. Something bout 70s music ,it was just great.
I love this song. It was played in dance clubs (Disco's back then) for a long time. You could kiss a partner in the slow bit and rock out dance to the heavy metal part.
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Idk why it's taken me all of these years, but maybe Barry got those high notes so well was because his pants were so tight! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️
Btw, I don't go there much anymore, but I'm gonna dance on over to fb!
The Chilites....."Oh Girl"..
Wow three handsome men watching three handsome men.
Barry is like a cross of Smokey and Aaron Neville!😎

Omf their harmonies❤❤❤❤❤ Being brothers just takes it to the beyond
Excellent reaction!!! This song is off the charts great!!!

Love them even I wasn't born in their era. One of the original boybands when boybands was not still a thing.
Plus they played their own instruments.
I listen to this daily and I enjoy these guys singing this song every single time .

The flip side of this single was actually a Country song called REST YOUR LOVE!!! The other #1s were Stayin Alive, Night Fever (already reacted to), HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE, Tragedy, and LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT. Please react to all of them!!
The greatest harmonies in the music industry! Nobody did it better than The Brothers Gibb! ❤❤
These brothers couldn’t miss. In their r&b days all thru their disco era🤘❤️
Love the guy with the gray beard just groovin’ 👍
