There was no autotune in 1978; studios used overdubbing back then and overdubbing was used to correct the incorrect vocal pitches by re-recording those specific notes or sections here. In this song, there are actually nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, Barry on falsetto lead three times, falsetto high harmony three times, falsetto low harmony three times, Barry on natural voice lead three times, high harmony three times, low harmony three times; Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times, high harmony three times and low harmony three times.

Three brothers who could harmonize since they were 7 and 8. Their mother thought they had the radio on and went to tell them to turn it off and go to bed. She said to her surprise it was her boys. Barry is the only one still living. Robin and Maurice were twins. Andy the little brother had a music career to. Andy was getting ready to join the BeeGees when he past away from heart problems brought on by years of drug abuse They had hits in the 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s. They’re in the Rock and Roll and Song Writers HALL OF FAME. Words. Tragedy and Fannie Be Tender With My Love. Staying Alive is just Timeless. You might get recognize it. Barry is the one you love lol. He sings a song by his self WORDS. Barry is the only one still living. He was Honored at the Kennedy Center a few weeks ago. Barry’s been married to his wife Linda for over 50 years. So glad you loved it. In my days the BeeGees were one of the best bands ❤️

This is what is known as a love song. Something you rarely hear today.

The bees gees are considered one of the best bands of all time,probably only the beatles would be the best on most peoples list,their range of songs is over 1000 plus.Most people would probably know stayin alive, but a lot of their songs from the late 60,s are fantastic like for example to love somebody from 1967 or new york mining disaster 1941 also 1967 or lonely days 1970.

They were brothers. Robin and Maurice, were twins. Barry, in the middle, was just dang gorgeous, as well as being an amazing singer. Andy, the youngest Gibb brother, passed very young. Perfect harmony.

They were biological brothers. Robin, Barry, and Maurice. Barry the brother in the middle is the only remaining Bee Gee. The profit from this song they gave to charity ✌️❤️🙏🙏

It's a great video and short enough to react to.

The next great song you should listen to from the Bee Gees is. "How Deep is your love".

The Brothers Robin and Maurice (pronounced Morris) were fraternal twins non identical which you can see lol 💟 They are all gorgeous and so gifted - also play many instruments esp Maurice ( bass and electric guitar,piano, keyboards) they all have high voices called falsetto and can each sing all together or solo ! Be prepared for a LONG Journey of hearing their catalog - over 1000 songs written by them ! Gifted songwriters- Best in the Business and wrote for Many other Big Name Artists in the 80's ! Looking forward to seeing you react and Enjoy this Terrific Group❣️

Terrific reaction. Barry has captured another heart. They donated all profits to UNICEF for the Year of the Child. They wrote all their own songs and many hits for others. 40 plus year career. How Deep is your Love, Fanny be tender with my love are a couple of gorgeous love somgs. Welcome to the rabbit hole!

In fact, Bee Gees were active from 1958 to 2001 and had many hits throug the decades. It's strange that most Americans think their career stopped around 1980 because they didn't hear them on the radio. The rest of the world enjoyed these beautiful harmonies.

This was released Oct 1978 video. Of course they wrote hit songs for others... and the Duet between Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand in 1980 together and Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers - Islands in the Stream in 1983 for them. Bit of typecasting as Disco sort of was the problem mostly in the states. Disco ended pretty abruptly.... though a few hits thru like '83. Laura Branigan with - Gloria perhaps one of the last. Just too good despite being disco. Disco sort of lived-on as Dance/House music though. Backlash had a couple main reasons best not mentioned a sort of cancel-culture for ..... and of course the glorious 80s came in and some feel was still inferior to Classic Rock of the '70s (minus disco). Big Hair boy bands and Girl bands.... etc. Metal came in Punk, New Age that started in the 70s continued, The British second invasion to the states.. first was in the 60s Beatles etc.

@@leniprof You cannot change history. No on said they invented Disco. Most did not know the scene it came out of... some of that scene was not seen as good and that was the backlash of sorts. Having top charting songs sure though is a way to get represent a genre. Again, you cannot change the past and recognition nor change it to others you prefer get it. There were plenty of Disco acts many got degrees of acclaim also. Yet Disco music itself evolved from different subcultures, with origins in Philadelphia’s R&B scene in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, featuring African-American and Latino musicians and audiences, and in private dance parties thrown in the underground Gay community of New York. I think the Gay community got most credit from groups like the Village People etc. The backlash was from those who did not see it as true Rock n Roll either. In the end the Record studios and money CHOSE what would WIN and what might LOSE as powers-that- be who seem to have control too. We buy... yet they can promote and push. We had another change 2015 16 of sorts when I feel the Rock era ended and Rap/Hip Hop took fully over top 20 at least in the US. They acclimated us by first having many top songs half Rock and Half Rap/Hip Hop. Ultimately the change-over. Some changes now... even Country music in the US as the music of rebellion more for a side of the politica spectrum.....

This is what music should be. Gen Z can't let this go away. Everything good is going away. This is real music, it changes your mood, your thinking, your everything. Don't let go of this music! No machine can replace human talent, creativity, and passion. People today listen to machines, we used to listen to humans and NOTHING beats that~

Totally agree. Barry is So Handsome and so incredibly talented.

I loved your reaction to this. I won't repeat what others have already said about their history. Tracks by them that I suggest are: "Jive Talkin", "You Should be Dancing", "Night Fever", "Staying Alive", "Nights on Broadway", "Tragedy", these are their more dance like tunes, the more romantic songs are: "How Deep is Your Love", "More Than a Woman", "Fanny be Tender With My Love", "I Started a Joke". There are many more tracks by them but these are good ones to continue with.

Barry is the oldest brother and he is in the middle. Robin Gibb is on the left and his twin Brother is Maurice on the right. They also had a younger brother Andy Gibb who had a solo career. The three brothers also sang backup on his songs.

They also wrote songs for other very popular singers. Love you ❤

Barry in the middle makes EVERY woman tingle who listens to him. The other two are his younger (4 years) twin brothers who are just as talented. There were actually 4 Gibb brothers, one who was much younger but actually sang with these 3 older brothers occasionally. Barry is the only one still alive in 2024. He was Knighted by the Queen of England so he is formally Sir Barry Gibb. Every song they ever sang was written by them.

They were prolific songwriters for themselves and others. I hate Simone who always comes in and corrects but only because if you’ve never heard this song you should go listen. The only song I’ve ever seen them perform that wasn’t their own was a very unique and enjoyable cover of Carole King’s Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. The Shirelles scored a number one with the song, Ms. King performed it on her classic Tapestry album and the Bee Gees covered in many years later. Three very different versions of one song all excellent in my opinion.

Beautiful réaction to this beautiful song. The Bee Gees were one of the first groups to achieve super global fame. They wrote their own songs, invented new sounds and performed live even better than in studio. No groups ever like them or better. How deep is your love is another romantic song. For Whom the Bell Tolls is another. They recorded and performed until Morris' death in 2003. Barry Gibb released a countrified Bee Gees best hits duets in 2021, called Greenfields. It reached #1 in several countries, including the UK and Oz, and he was received the Americana music award for it. Beautiful songs there, too. Words is Barry's signature song, as I started a Joke is Robin's. Man in the middle is Morris's IMO. All great.

All of them are incredibly talented…Barry the only surviving of the three. Their legacy of songs and hits will live forever!

It's called NATURAL GOD GIVIN TALENT

I was first introduced to the BeeGees in the 60's when they were part of the British Invasion. Their music was a bit different than this, more folk than rock. I loved their songs 'Words', 'I started a Joke' and 'Massachusetts' . They went quiet in the early 70's but had a reemergence in the later part of the decade with the Disco Era. The movie 'Saturday Night Fever' launched their second run to fame. I still have the first album I bought in 1967. Thank you for this wonderful reaction. Your introduction to the Brothers Gibb was adorable! Blessings to you and your family this coming year!

I am sure that you have heard so much about the BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) in the last few days. Myself born in 1960, I have heard all of their music, childhood Australia teen stars, the biggest group in Disco music world wide. No 3 brothers with their perfect voices and extensive careers in music will ever be seen again. They are phenoms in the music industry. You have touched on a hit from the first album fading away from Disco. There are huge pre Disco hits, lateb60s, early and mid 70s, then Disco, where the whole world heard the BeeGees, Seriously.

We have been in love with Berry Gibb since the early 70s. Barry has the biggest heart throb in the 70s. They had a solo artist brother Andy he was so talented and handsome with a falsetto voice.

There are many great Bee Gees songs. I might suggest how can you mend a broken heart.

Barry has a five octave range of his voice. His falsetto is one of the best in the world..

Great reaction! You haven't begun to untap the legends they are, plus... There is another younger brother who was also very talented.

Put on your seatbelt. You're in for a long and incredible ride with the Bee Gees. I can't wait to watch you work your way thru their massive collection of hits spanning well over 40 years. Two suggestions, "Fanny Be Tender" and "Love So Right". I Enjoy your channel.

Love listening to your raw honest reactions. I love Robin & his smiles too☺️

"I Started A Joke" features Robin Gibb on lead vocal.

They were all immensely talented. Too Much Heaven is one of their later entries as a trio, which got a revival in the mid-70s when Barry accidentally started hitting falsetto notes. To hear a different era, I’d recommend “I Started a Joke” or “Gotta Get a Message To You” when Robin was the lead singer.

This was a charitable performance. Royalties from it went to UNICEF. The Bee Gees were at the height of their popularity in the disco era, most notably doing the soundtrack of the movie Saturday Night Fever (one of the biggest movie soundtracks ever, and a wildly popular movie starringJohn Travolta). But they had decades of popularity both before and after disco. Barry (center) did the majority of their lead vocals, but all 3 sang leads. If you want a sample of the others, I'd recommend For Whom The Bell Tolls with Robin (left) singing lead, and Closer Than Close with Maurice (right) singing lead. Nice reaction.

This music is from heaven!
