His story is so tragic because he had such a bright future ahead of him. Not just in music, but in hosting tv shows. Everyone loved him and his charisma.
Shadow Dancing spent 7 weeks at #1 in the summer of 1978 on the Billboard Hot 100. As a 10 year old kid back then it was the first album (vinyl) anyone had bought for me. This song was everywhere ! He was huge back then just like his brothers The BeeGees (Brothers Gibb).
There was a rumored controversy that in one of those 7 weeks that Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street" was really in the #1 spot but got robbed due to "Billboard politics" behind the scenes back then.
Per Songfacts this song was written by all four Gibb brothers. Andy joined his older siblings Barry, Robin and Maurice for a writing session in Hollywood, where were filming the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. "We literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part," Andy recalled in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits.
Andy Gibb was so amazing on his own even though he did get help from his brothers his voice was great! Passed away way to soon but his music will live on forever!
He could drag me across the floor, bed, wall, ceiling, bathtub name it!!! Lol 😂😂😂 I had a giant poster of him in my room growing up!! I cried so bad when he died!!! BIG SHOES TO FILL FOR HIM but he didn’t realise HE HAD IT!!!😢😢😢
I'm a straight dude, but he was on of THREE men in 70's and 80's I had a serious "man-crush" on and they were: Prince, MJ, and Andy Gibb. Their femininity was actually very masculine and attractive to women and their music hit that "feminine side" perfectly towards most men (like me) and they made us want to be just like them. Awesome peformers and there will never be the likes of these talents ever again. Such a magical period the 70s/80's were and I miss it so much!🥲
Omg!!!! 👏👏👏👏when I was 7 years old I loved this song so much my mom came home one day with this album for me, I flipped out!! I spent the rest of that summer singing and dancing to Andy and of course staring at his pictures cause he was sooooo CUTE!! 🔥
He was technically not a Bee Gee, he was solo. However, I believe his older brothers were considering bringing him into the group, but his tragic passing put an end to that.
Sadly, Andy's mental health & drug issues did major damage to his health & career. He was dropped by his record label & couldn't get another. Barry then arranged for Island Records to sign Andy, but when he got to London (Jan.88), he panicked & missed meetings, so the deal didn't go through. That's when his brothers announced he would become a Bee Gee, beginning with their next album & tour, but he died before that could happen (March 10, 1988).
@@todd8414 Andy didn't sing on the hit studio recording of You Should Be Dancing. He came to visit them, Nov. 21, 1979, on their Spirits Have Flown tour & joined them on stage, to sing with them for the finale.
Oh man he was so good looking! And having your brothers- The BeeGees -singing back up is amazing. So sad to lose him to drugs. Barry said they did their fair share of drugs and alcohol too, but managed to get sober, but Andy didn’t beat it.
Like his brother (Bee Gees). Popular in the '70s and early'80s, disco peak years. RIP, he died very young (age 30 in 1988) . drug overdose, weak heart due to chronic cocaine use. Check out videos for "Desire", "I Just want to be Your Everything", "Love is Thicker than Water", and "I Cant Help It" with Olivia Newton John (RIP< she jus died today at age 73) . Olivia longtime breast cancer survivor. She sang many great songs and many movies, including Grease.
The Bee Gees wrote for him & supported him. He had the sound & the look of Barry. He was supposed to join his brothers but died just after his 30th birthday.... such a waste..
His first 3 singles were huge #1 hits, including this one. Nothing can compare to the disco era. I'm glad I was able to enjoy it as it was happening. I was little, but still...
Omg, even though I was Team Shaun Cassidy, I can't tell you how many dance routines I made up to this song lol Never know when someone might ask you to perform a song & dance routine as a kid!😂 Thanks for the trip down amnesia lane!😀♥️✌
@@MikeHorror67 omg, the Hardy Boys (even Nancy Drew! Or SUPER GASP when the boys showed up on her show!!😍) Whenever I get down about the state of our country... our world right now, I keep it together by remembering I lived in one of the greatest times ever!! ♥️✌
OMG! Mine was Shaun Cassidy too! Loved watching the Hardy Boys show-😁 I had a poster of him in his satin jacket hanging right beside my bed- 🤭😆 I was in love! 🤷🏻♀️ lol R.I.P. Andy Gibb ❤️🙌🏻❤️
Aww. Love Andy Gibb. RIP to the youngest Gibb brother. 🕊 Today Australia lost another beautiful soul in Olivia Newton-John RIP. 🕊 She has sung with Andy and ABBA before in a concert. I would be grateful if you could check some of that out.
In the early 80's in Hollywood I used to acquire my drug of choice from the girl who was also Andy's dealer and she talked about him a lot. Mainly she felt sorry for him because he was so completely crushed after breaking up with Victoria Principal. I never met him there but I did make friends with a couple of the guys who were in Rick Springfield's band, he was also a big name at the time, it seemed they were always there too. But that was really a different time and place back in those days.
Lex, your shoulders were doing exactly what mine have always done every time I've ever heard this song. Eventually, other parts start moving too but it starts with the shoulders on this song.🤣💙☮
I was the backstage hostess of one of his concerts.. It was very hot that day. He sent someone to the store to get dozens of water guns after rehearsal (and before the concert) We all ran around having a water fight. He also traveled with his 2 puppies. He was just a down-to-earth fun person
The Bee Gees sang background vocals in this song. Also Barry Gibb wrote all of Andy's songs. Andy Gibb died 5 days after his 30th birthday on March 10th, 1988.
He was definitely a Hottie and was gonna be the 4th Bee Gee but he passed away. He died 5 days after his 30th birthday. RIP ANDY!!! His daughter and her cousins sing in a group called The Gibb Collective song is Please don’t turn out the lights! Check it out!!!!
Back in the 70s he was every girl's crush. You should check out the Bee Gees tribute to him. It makes me cry. The song was Our Love (Don't throw it all away) Live in Las Vegas, 1997. Such a tragedy 😢 how young he died
Barry, Robin, Maurice & Andy wrote Shadow Dancing, but Robin & Maurice didn't sing on it. Song credits show backing vocals are by Andy, Barry & John Sambataro.
Yeah, this was definitely about more than dancing😉Andy was a solo singer, but his brother's would often sing back-up for his recordings. Barry also wrote or co-wrote his songs. On another note, could you react to "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat" by The Partridge Family? I think you'll be in for a treat with this one.
He wrote it with his brothers, so apparently all the Gibbs contributed to it. (If we can believe Wikipedia.) Barry Gibb sang background vocals for the song.
You guys should react to more Andy Gibb… "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water", "An Everlasting Love", "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away", "This Is Time", "Me (Without You)", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", "After Dark", "Desire" 💃🏻🕺🏼
I am a year younger than Andy so I was a 17 year old high school girl when Andy hit the scene. Instantly in love with him! First time I heard this on the radio I was in a long line at the drive-thru bank and I pulled out of line to listen to it! His poster was definitely on my bedroom wall!!
If you watch the live version of the BeeGees hit You Should Be Dancing, Andy is singing with them. I know they did backup vocals on his stuff but he did on theirs as well.
Barry Gibb also wrote "Grease" that you just reacted to. He had multiple songs on the billboard chart at the same time in 1978/1979 that he performed,wrote, or produced.
Check out some of the other Bee Gee songs to hear them singing in their regular voices. Nights on Broadway is a good choice (live from the midnight special). You will be surprised at how deep Barry’s chest voice is! And yes, Barry worked with Andy in all his songs (write, produce, sing background, etc).
Yes, he was the youngest Gibb brother. The Bee Gees ( The Brothers Gibb) Barry Gibb wrote this song and the Bee Gees did the back up vocals. Barry actually wrote all of Andys' hits.
I think the song was literally about dancing. This was about 1978 during the disco era. Big brother Barry Gibb wrote and produced most of his material with contributions from the others.
I was so in love with him as a young girl in the late 70’s/early 80’s….he was perfect to me, and although my fickle young heart moved on to other crushes (Rick Springfield, Bret Michaels, George Michael, Jon Bon Jovi, Sebastian Bach, Richard Marx) in the 80’s, I was still totally devastated and heartbroken when he passed away. He was the first man who graced my wall in poster form to die, and it was crushing….he was so talented, and he is still missed♥️❤️♥️
Barry didn't start out singing falsetto, a record producer said that they something on a song asked him to try his falsetto voice, the rest is history. Andy passed away at 30 yrs old. He was going to join his brothers on an album but passed away.
Awesome reaction Andy is my favorite he was oh so sexy. I had a mad crush on him. The rest of the brother's Gibb were great performers. But i prefer Andy all day long. R.I.P. Sweetheart.
The plan was for Andy to sing Part Time with the Bee Gees and have a Solo Career. His Brothers wrote his Songs and performed Backing Vocals in the Studio. Andy was announced as joining the Bee Gees Full time but passed away before that could happen.
Andy Gibb was the baby brother of Older brother Barry & twin brothers Robin and Maurice. Andy had his own style. He never sang falsetto. R.I.P. Andy. R.I.P Robin & Maurice. Your music will stay in our lives forever.
You should check out the 60's Bee Gees music (before Barry started singing falsetto). He sings lead on "Words", "First of May", and "To Love Somebody". Robin sings lead on "Massachusetts" and "I started a Joke". They have so many good songs from back then (though I do like the 70's stuff too).
This was off his second album. His first one was the first album I ever bought. Right before I bought this one. Had all his and BeeGees albums and still listen to them often. My room was covered with all 4 brothers posters lol. RIP Rob, Mo and Andy. He could sing falsetto when needed. It was unfortunate that he never had the time to hone his art as his brothers did, but in saying that he was just as talented.
You have to check out Foo Fighters as the Dee Gees doing this song. Taylor sings lead and it is incredibly badass. It gives the song a whole new sound.
The song is about his desire for a woman who isn't his the line from the song how can I hold when you ain't even mine. Just like shadow boxing you are by yourself doing it alone it's the same hence shadow dancing. It's a great song all their songs were the Brothers Gibb. Check out Man on fire by Andy just a great song.
Andy had 8 hits reach top 20 & 3 went #1. Sadly, hedied way too young at 30. The baby Gibb was the first to go. Also, Lex He sings higher in 'I just want to be your everything'. Another hit.
Brad no Barry has the voice!! Even though Andy was the closet to Barry’s voice and look’s!! I had the biggest crush on Andy! Saw him in Miami , a year before he died , in a elevator in a condo building near Biscayne Bay! He was nice and said hello! I of course couldn’t speak but waved back and turned red!! Nice memories!
He can hit the falsetto notes that Barry can. I had his pictures up in my room at the same time I had Prince and Michael Jackson and I might have been 10 at the most. I cried when he died. Even at my age I knew 30 was too young to die. He was actually going to become the 4th Bee Gee but died before he could.
back in the day, Andy was on every girl's wall. he was a major heart throb.
On my closet door.
He sure was, I had him on my wall in college..LOL ...his fine ass..😍
I loved him he was extremely talented as well. The Brothers Gibb are one of a kind! RIP!! Lex his brothers are singing background.
Robin & Maurice aren't singing on Shadow Dancing. Song credits show backing vocals are by Andy, Barry & John Sambataro.
Died 5 days after his 30th...so tragic!
Such a great song! He died way too soon. Such a talented performer, and it definitely runs in the family. R.I.P. Andy Gibb.

Barry was setting him up to be a huge solo artist and also bringing him in as a Bee Gee. then it all went south!
Andy Gibb was so amazing on his own even though he did get help from his brothers his voice was great! Passed away way to soon but his music will live on forever!
He could drag me across the floor, bed, wall, ceiling, bathtub name it!!! Lol 😂😂😂 I had a giant poster of him in my room growing up!! I cried so bad when he died!!! BIG SHOES TO FILL FOR HIM but he didn’t realise HE HAD IT!!!😢😢😢
Yes that was indeed the legendary Bee Gees backing up in this track. Love the Bee Gees sound and Andy to me is the unofficial 4th Bee Gee :)

Andy was a great talent....and he had his big brothers helping him.

He’s the brother with the deep voice!🤣
It’s more than just dancing, you know. My favorite song from 1978! Appreciate you guys!
Yessss Andy was amazing!!!
He was mega popular in the late 70s when I was a kid. Every girl had pinups of him on their wall, including my sister.
Baby brother Gibb! 🥰✨🎶💕 The elder brothers are singing backup so...☺️💖
He was technically not a Bee Gee, he was solo. However, I believe his older brothers were considering bringing him into the group, but his tragic passing put an end to that.
I believe he did join them on at least one song…one of their big ones, but I forget what it was.

They worked together his whole career. They wrote songs for him, or they wrote songs together, like this one. Barry co-wrote it and sings the backup.
Theirs a video of him singing with his brothers on the song You Should Be Dancing. That was a big hit song for the Bee Gees.
