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.

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.

Barry Gibb is the only Gibb brother still with us. RIP Andy, Robin and Maurice.

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 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.

Love this song. Barry's falsetto reverberates through the decades of time.

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 ❤❤❤

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!

Barry still has the best hair.👏🏼🇨🇦🐉👩🏼‍⚖️

Shout out to the orchestra, they killed it too.

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❤

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’m a head banger who loved The Bee Gees👍

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.

"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.

I was about 16 when this came out. Love it. Sad Barry is the only one left. He misses his brothers.

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!

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

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".

the production levels on their studio albums was second to none

These bros also wrote/produced hit albums for Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, and their baby bro Andy Gibb.

Your next one should be “Love you inside out”, “Fanny be Tender with my love”

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.

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

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.

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

From 1967- 1979 ish was spectacular for music. Like youth, we didn’t appreciate what a special musical time it was and we thought it would last forever ( yes Despite Disco)

The best ever.

They were unique,that is what you call talent.

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.

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🤘❤️

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.

❤❤❤❤ Indiscutivelmente, é a melhor banda de todos os tempos, maravilhosos! Amooooooo!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨👍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

❤Bee Gees….

Omf their harmonies❤❤❤❤❤ Being brothers just takes it to the beyond

Silky smooth, three crooners in one, the brothers outdid themselves on this one. The brothers worshipped the stylistics, the delphonics, and spinners.

The best thing about the Bee Gees is that they sound like one voice.

Fannie, Be Tender With My Love is another Bee Gees banger worth checking out!

These guys were unbelievable back in the day!

More Bee Gees - Jive Talking - One - Alone - Tragedy

I listen to this daily and I enjoy these guys singing this song every single time .

Love this song! It was the first 45 I bought in the 70’s! I still have it! ❤️❤️

👍 love how Corey enjoys a song he likes with his beautiful smile & finger dancing 😁 2 great trios...BeeGees harmonies & ThisIsIt crew enjoying it 😍😘

@@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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My personal Favorite is More Than A Woman. But you have to have their greatest hits and the soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever.!

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 didn`t like the term disco (kings)! They were writing songs for her new album, when their producer R. Stigwood asked them to write the soundtrack for his new movie saturday night fever. They told him that they wouldn`t have time for this, but he could have some of the songs they have written for the new album. They knew nothing about the movie.The Bee Gees' involvement in the film did not begin until post-production. As John Travolta asserted, "The Bee Gees weren't even involved in the movie in the beginning ... I was dancing to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs. The brothers wrote the songs "virtually in a single weekend" at Château d'Hérouville studio in France. Saturday Night Fever was the best-selling album in music history, and still ranks among the best-selling soundtrack albums worldwide, with sales figures of over 40 million copies.The album stayed atop the charts for 24 straight weeks from January to July 1978 and stayed on Billboard's album charts for 120 weeks until March 1980. So they become the "disco kings"without knowing what disco was/meant or being interested in disco music. Barry once said he's never been to a disco!

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.

Love them even I wasn't born in their era. One of the original boybands when boybands was not still a thing.

Excellent reaction!!! This song is off the charts great!!!

What else can You say, But I feel 💗 love.

Many of us who were Bee Gees fans back in the 60s and early 70s thought that the disco era was them "selling out". I've chilled some since then and even like some of their disco songs but to me, it's all about the earlier stuff like "Massachusetts", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Words" and "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" and several others.

I disagree they sold out. They were smart they did what they had to do.Some of the songs on the Saturday night fever album weren't even disco.If a song came out you could dance to in this era it was automatically a disco song.People had been dancing to songs 100years before disco came out.Disco had its on unique sound and there was only a hand full of songs they did that were considered disco.

The Genre is *Soul and R&B*

This song is 9 layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices. There's 6 layers of just Barry, and the other 3 layers are all three brothers together. So basically we're hearing mostly Barry throughout the entire song.🎶

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.

When you hear this you'll understand. Just when you think they can't go higher...they do.

Pure unadulterated talent! Some of the best harmonies ever laid down! ❤ dive into their catalogue, you will not be disappointed. “How Deep is Your Love” is my all time favorite. If you haven’t already, check that out!

For whom the bell tolls, the one where they sing it outside in New York is a must 👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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!

They also written songs for other artists and they been singing since they was kids Barry done a duet with Barbara Streisand that pretty good to just found out he did a duet with Michael Jackson

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.

I think all the ladies back then would have protested if Barry wore button up shirts 😂

Get chills every time I listen to this song

Go down the Rabbit Hole of songs written by them for other artists. Amazing stuff.

You guys are ready for a Treat!

You should do How Deep is Your Love

In my opinion, The Bee Gees greatest hits were not the disco hits. Those were the most popular hist but they had better music before and after disco. That was good dance music but they were so much more. They said that they listened to a lot of The Stylistics music. If you want to listen to another non-disco gem, For Whom the Bell Tolls 2003 by the Bee Gees. They had hits for 5 decades.

Please do " Love You Inside Out " you will be surprised! Love yall! ❤

Of their 12 number one's 9 came from the 70s.

There are so many people who still think they are only a disco band. First off they aren't a disco band. They had their first #1 in 1967. Barry's falsetto didn't come about till 1975 with a song called Nights on Broadway. They kept recording and performing till 2001. The 70s were their only disco music

Legends🥰♥️🎶

Bee Gee's not only wrote their own music.. they their younger brother Andy's music.. they wrote for Barbara, Dolly, Kenny... the list goes on.. they were amazing songwriters. You should check out a song b4 Barry started being lead.. Massachusetts ... Robin is the lead in that one and still the amazing harmonies.

This takes me back to my disco days in the 70s

You gotta listen to "Fannie Be Tender With my Love". QUINCY JONES said it was the best R&B song he ever heard. It was also their moms favorite!

One thing to remember that The Bee Gees are much more than the aprox 5 years of the Disco era that started for them in 1975 with Jive Talkin' (Not really a disco song, but is popular mentioned as their ventures into that genre), and ended in 1979 with their song Love You Inside Out, again not really Disco but R&B. They wrote 14 number 1's in that periode, some sung by them selves other song by others. But They started in 1955 with singing in The Garmount Theater in Manchester, moved to Australia and got the name BG's in 1958 later changed to The Bee Gees. Had their first number 1 in New Zealand in 1966 with Spicks and Specks before returning to UK in 1967, and here got their first international number 1 with Massachusetts and then a lot of hits up to 1972. This was in a lot of genres like Pop, Rock, Beat, Soul, R&B, ballads and even a classic tune like Seven Seas Symphony. Then there was a down periode where they could not find their true direction. But in 1974 they teamed up with the producer Arif Mardin and he helped them find their way into R&B/soul music and that started the whole Disco thing eventhough they never really wrote a disco song but the puplic called it that and it sticked to them. In 1979 they were hit by the disco backlash, with things like the Disco demolition night and also Bee Gees free weekends on radio stations because they dominated so much that radio stations wanted opportunities to play other artists music as well. I don't think that has happened before or since. From 1980 and forward they concentrated more to write for others and made hits for Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton and Diana Ross. In later years they also wrote for Celine Dion and Cliff Richard + a lot of artist covered their songs, songs like To Love Somebody and Words are most covered. They wrote a song called Only One Woman for the band The Marbles in 1969, try give that a listen, it is just stunning. In 1987 they had a comeback with the UK number 1 You Win Again, did not do so well in the US as The Bee Gees name were still in bad standing. From there they had a lot of hits but no more number 1's. The last album was This Is Where I Came In from 2001. Barry Gibb ended up having a number 1 album in 2021 with his album Greenfields Vol. 1 which unfortunately looks like will be the last, but hopefully I am wrong. He is the last living Bee Gee at the age of 77

GOATS

I would love for you to react to 3 stunning, live performances that will give you goosebumps. The audiences gave well-deserved standing ovations for these amazingly talented performances. 1) George Michael and Elton John -live - "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on You". 2) Adam Lambert -live at the Kennedy Center, honoring Cher, "Believe" 3) Heart -live at the Kennedy Center, honoring Led Zepplin, "Stairway to Heaven".
