These Brothers could sing, and play Rock, R&B, Folk, Country, and Gospel! I know no other group that was so versatile.

This is from the TV Movie, "Cucumber Castle" (1970) that Barry and Mo did when Robin took a bit of a break from the group. This song was released as a single in 1969, and was a UK hit at about the same time as Robin's solo song "Saved By the Bell" charted. The movie is silly, as any of them would tell you. However, there is some great music. You can't miss "Bury me Down by the River." Unbelievable gospel sound. Oh...and Engelbert Humperdinck did cover another song from "Cucumber Castle" called "Sweetheart."

Country Bee Gees! They could sing any genre! This was during the 18 months they split up. Robin left the group but they all got back together. Robin said they were still very young (around 19), had a lot of egos, etc., but they missed each other and in the time they had split, they did a lot of growing up. The rest is history!

Think it was good to have music with just Barry & Mo, too.👍

This was from their album and "movie" "Cucumber Castle" which they made during the time they had broken up. Robin had gone solo early 1969 after a fight with Barry, who continued with Maurice. Guitarist Vince Meloney had also left the group, so The Beegees consisted only of Barry, Maurice and drummer Colin Peterson (who was fired halfway through shooting the movie). It was a crazy TV movie, very 1960s (as in the participants were probably completely stoned and/or drunk during filming). Big names were in the "cast": Barry and Maurice played two princes, Frankie Howerd their dying king/father, Lulu as Lulu the cook, Spike Milligan as the court jester, Julian Orchard as Julian the Lord Chamberlaine Vincent Price as Wicked Count Voxville, Ginger Baker as himself, Eric Clapton as himself (as Blind Faith), Ric Grech as himself (as Blind Faith), Steve Winwood as himself (as Blind Faith) Roger Daltrey as himself (uncredited), Donovan as himself (uncredited), Marianne Faithfull as herself (uncredited), Mick Jagger as himself (uncredited).

Imagine the kind of music they would have continued to put out if Disco had never come along ...

They made 4 of the songs before Stigwood approached them for some songs for the Saturday Night Fever LP! They were working on their new LP in France, they weren't a disco group, only people who don't know the guys would say that. Furthermore, they were doing R&B.

And the Bee Gees had so much different eras.

You’ve done a lot of Bee Gees which I am so grateful for. Here are some others: Wind of Change, Live from the midnight special 1975 Will you still love me tomorrow (tribute to Carol King) You Win Again (official video) Wedding Day (live from 2001) Blue island (live acoustics) Secret Love (official video) 1989 Medley one for all tour This is Where I Came in (live) if you want to see them (the Bee Gees) and how they work in the studio try: (A) the making of their song "Tragedy" from 1979 (B) The making of the song "Just in Case" (C) The making of the video "This is Where I Came in" from their last cd in 2001 Children of the world Search, Find The 2 live duets with Barry and Barbra (WHAT KIND OF FOOL & GUILTY)

Great suggestions & would LOVE to see his reactions to Barry & Barbra's 2 live duets!❤️

The greatest ever❤❤❤

This is such a pretty song from 1969. It is more of a country ballad. Barry is singing in a lower register than usual. This early music is my favorite era of the Bee Gees.

This song actually went to #2 in the UK, but nowhere in the USA.

This song was written in the late 60s, during a time when Robin had a falling out with his brothers. That’s why you don’t see him in the video.

Great music and their voices are very good

Skeeter Davis and Donna Fargo both covered it… and Elton John!!… among others. The B side of the Bee Gees single is THE LORD - their nod towards Johnny Cash. Englebert covered Sweetheart very well, but I still like the Bee Gees’ version best. If you want to hear a Maurice solo from Cucumber Castle try DOGS, which is a bit in the style of Paul Simon.

I don't remember this one but I love everything by the Bee Gees. Thank you Brandon and Harri.

@@kthor I think it's Barry's soulful vocals that we love so much on that track and just that it's so different from what you expect. It was at the beginning of my Bee Gees journey and I was just blown away by the variety. I think most people who don't think they like Bee Gees just don't care for the late 70s version of Bee Gees, so I hit em with a few things from different eras and it usually peaks their interest. "Wait, what? That's Bee Gees?"

Came out the year I was born, 1969❤❤

When this song came out it was my mother's favorite song when I was a kid. I still think of her every time I hear it.

While this song was being written mo and barry realized that this was really about missing robin ❤

There's only 2 of them because The Bee Gees split up briefly around 1969. Robin left to pursue a solo career while Barry and Marice continued on as the Bee Gees. They were split up for roughly 18 months, then realized that they all really missed each other. They got back together and promised each other that they would never do that again. They followed all this up by putting out the album "2 Years On" and then the incredible "Trafalgar" album. It's interesting to note that all 3 of them made solo albums during this period. Robin put out "Robin's Reign", which was released but went nowhere. The Barry and Marice albums were never released and are still sitting around in a vault somewhere.

I could listen to Barry sing the phone book. His voice is so unique. I love all of their 'eras' of music. Love your reactions too Harri and it's so great that you react to their music.

There is a version of this done by Barry and Robin as a tribute after Mo's death. You should check it out it is just heartbreaking. I just wanted to hug Robin he was in so much pain but still did it. So glad they are together again. RIP Mo and Rob ❤❤

Barry was still grieving & in just as much pain as Robin.🙄

'Lamplight' versus 'The First of May' will explain Robin's absence!

"First of May" is a very pretty song and "Lamplight" is a classic IMO.

Love this song ! .. Very close to being my favourite by the Bee Gees .. There's a great use of it in an enjoyably quirky Russell Crowe movie called "Heaven's Burning", about a couple on the run in the Australian outback .. As they are falling for each other, they do a slow dance to this song at a country bush dance .. It's very effective and quite a beautiful scene .. I recommend the movie.

Really ,loved Mos voice love when he sings lead

I do remember the song, but have never seen Cucumber Castle, Often refured to by Barry, as very cilly but something he and Maurice needed, As Robin went solo. They should actually have had songs in the charts, Robin solo and Bee Gees 😇🙏 at the same time 👍❤️👍

@@kentclark6420 It was number 1 for at least a couple of weeks (UK)

the falsetto was bought in, in the 70's. There are a lot fo songs with this sound, words, Massachusetts just to name a few. If you look you'll find a lot of them from the 60s.

Great observation Harri, about this being very much in the style of song that Engelbert Humperdinck would have done in his heyday .. I totally adore this fantastic song as performed by the wonderful Bee Gees, but I could absolutely hear in my head how it would sound if done by EH .. It would have suited him perfectly, and I'm sure he would have done it justice.

Actually only Barry and Mo did this one 7:50 7:52 for a movie called Cucumber Castle. Robin had decided to try and go off on his own at the time. Mo was a teen and Barry I think was 20 or around there. But this was during their breakup period. This song did chart. About the same time as one of Robin's so it probably rubbed them a bit at the time, but they got a bit of a laugh about it years later, joking, "We got to number 2, who was the ba$!@rd keeping us all out of number 1? Our wives didn't care the way we did when we talked to each other. We missed that."

it's from Cucumber Castle and Robin had gone solo for a time when they did this, so it was just Barry and Maurice. Yes there was a solo by Maurice on it.

Unfortunately this song only includes Barry and Maurice. It this time in 1969/70 Robin had left the group. They were back together again late in 1970 Infact Endelbert Humperdinck did cover a song from this album. The song is called Sweetheart. Great song as well. My favorite songs of this album is "If I Only Had My Mind On Something Else", "I.O.I.O", "I was The Child" and "The Chance Of Love"

It wasn't unfortunate, but a good thing for Barry & Mo to work together without Robin. They also all really grew-up in the time apart.

Never heard country beehees before!!! Wild😅

Please listen to "Run to Me" by the Bee gees. Ty

I believe Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdink both recorded a song written by the Bee Gees.

There's another track from the same album called Sweetheart......it's a pretty little tune also covered by Englert Humperdinck...... I hope you could cover that aswell

Please react to their songs, Alive. Living Eyes. Kiss Of Life. Tomorrow Tomorrow.
