So true. A masterpiece of understatement

Robin's voice was one of a kind. He was special. RIP

JOKE was Robin’s showcase 1960’s song to sing without his brothers at concerts. WORDS is Barry’s. Lots of video options. I would recommend either 1979 or 1978 concert footage.

BeeGee's disco music was exciting. Before disco it was beautiful.

Another great live heartfelt Robin performance is "I Can't See Nobody" Melbourne 1974. It was delivered straight from the heart.

Still from their early era (the best!), are "I've Got To Get A Message To You" and "New York Mining Disaster 1941".

There are great videos for these songs from 1967 or 68.

The Bee Gees had several noteworthy hits during the 60's and made many TV appearances performing their songs. But then their 70's disco hits launched them into worldwide super stardom. This beautiful song is the perfect choice for Robin's distinctive voice. Gets me every time! Can't wait to see the HBO special, they made an indelible mark in musical history.

"Words", "I've just Gotta Get a Message to You", "How can you Mend a Broken Heart", if you decide to react to more early Bee Gees Also, if you are going to react to more early Joe Cocker, "Hitchcock Railway" " Feeling Alright" "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" are great upbeat songs

For confirmation that Robin's vocals are irreplaceable to the band we look to songs like "Alone" and "For whom the bell tolls". I come to appreciate Robins voice more and more over the years.

When asked about his unique voice Robin replied "I dont sing with my voice, I sing with my heart" If you really want to see him pour his heart out, check out this live version of I cant see nobody. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/jI2Dlq2KZNaWeaw.html&start_radio=1

Love the early BeeGees the most. Heard more of Robin's beautiful voice. Less of Barry's falsetto that was so prevalent in the 70s disco era. Should have done the original 60's recording of this one

Here's an early one, featuring Robin on lead after Barry starts it off, that I bet you've never heard. It's called, "Holiday." It's a black and white video. Here's a link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZyFk6qKmJzFerA.html

You will want to check out the new movie about the Bee Gees. I think it airs on HBOMax in about a week. Best group ever!

I was a teenager in the 60's and Robin sang lead on many of their songs. He had the voice of an angel. The first Bee Gees song I heard in 1967 was sung by him and THAT was what made me a fan.

What a Ridiculously beautiful voice...

Great review Wilburn. Robin always seemed to put his heart and soul into his performances v

Give a listen to "I've Just Got To Get A Message To You"

Absolutely need to listen to this one!

Thanks, Wilburn - OMG -- Robin was always my favorite - it's unusual not to have any harmony back-up - this was ALL Robin -love it! (the album version is a little different...)

This is one of my top 3 Bee Gees songs

If you want more early Bee Gees... but something completely different than the beautiful, melancholy ‘Joke’, May I suggest a little known song from 1972 called Paper Mache, Cabbages and Kings. Quirky, fun and maybe even a bit odd, but I love it.

Robin and his beautiful voice he truly does sing with his heart will never get another voice like his or a trio of beautiful talented brothers like them again ❤️ Great reaction totally agree with what you said 👍

Que música! Que voz sensacional! Amo Robin Gibb! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🇧🇷

Thanks for all of the Bee Gees reactions. HBO is premiering a documentary about The Bee Gees on December 12 at 8pm EST.

HBO or HBO MAX?

Nobody can surpass the legendary and incomparable Bee Gees. They are featured in the Book of Guiness as the most successful songwriters of all time. Please react to their hits Melody Fair, Cherry Red, Let There Be Love and Don't Forget To Remember Me. Thank you

They originally released that song in 1968. That is 53 years ago! They have written and sung over 1000 songs. From 1958 through the 2000's. Barry put out a solo album called 'In the now', ( love the song Grand Illusion), and another one with country artists doing Bee Gee songs called Greenfields.

It was recorded in the 1960s!

This is Robins Signature song and he always does it credit. One fun fact here is that he infact sings it wrong at one point in this version. First time he is singing "Till I Finally Died Which Started The Whole World Living" He Instead sings "Which Started The Whole World laughing"

one of the very 1st BEE GEES song ive learned how to play on guitar, the way they sing you can always see the feelings in every song, i recommend IVE GOT TO GET A MESSAGE TO YOU , its on the same 1968 album IDEA were I STARTED A JOKE is in

Please react to FOR WHOM the BELL TOLLS LIVE by the Beegees thanks

If you would, please react to The Bee Gees, “ Massachusetts” live. Robin is the singer in this also. His voice is so unique and in my opinion much better than Barry’s.

It's quite not the way, I'm thinking! Their voices are absolutely equal to me, even Maurice's, who had the perfect instinct for threepart harmony. No competition was between the brothers, 'cause it all worked in the right way for them. The crack-moment came, when Robin thougt, Lamplight and not First Of May should be A-Side. So their manager, Robert Stigwood, choosed First Of May. And he was right with that decision. But better would have been, A-Side First of May and Flipside Black Diamonds. And then the next single A-Side Lamplight and Flipside Marley Purt Drive. But that's history.

I agree with you Sherry. Thanks for your honest comments.

Barry Gibb once said If you look at what you love as work it never becomes fun anymore.

I have been waiting to see you react to older Bee Gees. Great reaction.

Check out "You Win Again" my favorite Bee Gees track amongst many

Look up the Bee Gees medley! Awesome!

A great reaction!!! You nailed it!

More early Bee Gees please

I loved this reaction.

Very well said. Good reaction.

This song is best reviewed in the back to back version with First of May. It's available on YT.

Do some research on the Bee Gees Song writing prowess! You will surely be AMAZED!

Please do some Jim Croce 'You Don't Mess Around with Jim ' . You are great at summing these artists up. Thanks.

The tremolo is from a different world. His voice can not be reproduced.

Guy, you should try( man in the middle) Maurice does lead . It's about his bout with alcoholism for many years. 👍👍💞💞

Check out Allie Sherlock version .She really does it justice

Excellent reaction!

Unfortunately, many reactors & the younger generation don’t have the same appreciation & respect for well-crafted music like this! You prob noticed Barry stepped back as Robin sang his little heart out…..& Robin does the same thing when Barry sings Words”(which you should check out!)! It’s out of due respect for the other to have the spotlight on only him🎼!

Please, please, please Eva Cassidy. Over the Rainbow video. The most beautiful voice while playing guitar at same time. Will truly tear you up.

You have great insights and genuine presence (and maybe i'm watching too many reaction videos if i'm getting fussy about standards) :) But I'm slow to subscribe by nature, so this was actually the third reaction of yours i've seen and i'm only just now subscribing. But your style won over my weird resistance--you're killing it!

wonderfull coments

PLEASE PLEASE watch words video Bee Gees they are young hen they did this song

Following your ego will destroy you.

Been watching several reactions and I would say you and one other know more about music and break it down better than all the others in a more serious way. Still the others are good in their own way also like being funny or just a good truthful reaction but diggin your to the point serious reactions.

And I disagree. My opinion is Robin had the better vocals Mr. Stumpfi !
