The Bee Gees Are The Best 💯

At this point, Barry was 22,Maurice and Robin were 19 and as you can tell, his regular singing voice is just as impactful as his falsetto

3:00 "and words are all I have to take your heart away".

Ladies I remembered when watching the interview: The Last Bee Gee, Barry stated that their father always tells them to smile onstage in their early days of their careers.

I was 13 when this was released I'm now 67 it's as good now as it was then

Barry lost all of his words as a child when he was burned badly and could not speak for two years. God gave him back his words and his ability to share them with the world.

One of the greatest love songs

Words are all I have to take your heart away - such a beautiful lyric. Another of my all time favourite Bee Gees songs that has been done by so many artists. Rita Coolidge did a good version. Also, Barry released an album in 2021 that was called Greenfields where he sang Bee Gees hits as duets with other artists. Keith Urban and Barry - I've Got To Get a Message to You and Dolly Parton and Barry with Words. Hope you continue with your trip down the massive rabbit hole that is the Bee Gees music.

I saw the BeeGees in 1978 with my boyfriend who is now my husband. When he sang this song the first couple words came out and the women were screaming so loud that you couldn’t hear more than half the song. I believe this is one of the most beautiful songs that they wrote:-) I hope you enjoy it.

This song was recorded on October 3, 1967. Barry was 21 and the twins Robin and Maurice were 18. It always surprises me how young they were and how talented to write songs like this at such tender ages. They also wrote To love somebody in 1967 for Ottis Redding, although Ottis died in an airplane crash before he could record it. Their manager Robert Stigwood told Barry to write a song for him and in the morning Barry went to him with the song. Stickwood loved it and Barry and the twins completed it. Barry was famous for writings songs in less than an hour, and not just any song but great songs. The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time when they came to the US for the first time. I remember the whole family sitting around the TV so exited watching them. The same with The Bee Gees. What wonderful memories!

If you want to be exact and your date is correct, I think Barry would have just turned 21 the month before, but the twins would still have been 17, not turning 18 until (I think) December 29.

I noticed how much Barry looks like Andy.

This is the very first time I remember seeing and hearing the Bee Gees. Ed Sullivan was every Sunday night viewing for my family. The melody may be simple, but it is impactful and emotional, as is Barry's voice. You can see why this became his signature song. His young voice is quite exposed, especially near the end and he never waivers in tone or pitch. Barry turned 22 and the twins turned 19 later that year. They were so young, but so very polished. I was 11, and fell in love instantly. Vince (guitarist) and Colin (drummer) joined the brothers shortly after arriving back in England in 1967. They knew them from Australia. By the time about 1969 rolled around, and some instability between the brothers, Vince left and later Colin. I very much enjoy Vince's guitar work. There is a video of him playing "I Started A Joke." as an instrumental. It gives me goosebumps. I just love the guy. When the Bee Gees did the 1999 One Night Only Concert in Sydney, Vince joined them on stage for 3 songs. Here's Vince kzread.info/dash/bejne/iH2hq5eaoNnbiLg.html He is wonderful.

Your Mom was right, they are the best, they were made to sing just pure talent. I can t wait for the song ONE live sooo good.

One of the greatest love songs I've ever heard in all my 74 years on this planet. It means even more since my beautiful wife of 46 years passed away in 2017. Tears in my eyes right now. 'To Love Somebody' by the Bee Gees is another tearjerker.

Barry, Robin and Maurice wrote the beautiful lyrics to this song. That tells me a lot as I had thought that it may have been written by a woman. They are certainly emotional available in their ability to write lyrics. One thing that I noticed was the lack of their trademark harmonies. Thanks for reacting to this song. Take care.

Their songs 'To Love Somebody' and 'Words' had the biggest impact to the world of music, especially in the eyes of other great musicians. Hundreds of covers, over the planet. And Nr. 1 songs for Michael Bolton and Boyzone, decades later, even not for themselves in the late sixties, but charting very well in many countries. Bee Gees had Nr. 1 hits in the late sixties with also the great tracks 'Massachusetts' and 'I've Gotta Get A Message To You'. Perfect excample, that people arent always ready, to identify every milestone right at time. For me, 'To Love Somebody' is lil above the others.

Written specifically for the British film The Mini Mob (The Mini-Affair in the U.S.), starring '60s heartthrob Georgie Fame, the stately, gentle "Words" was released as a single in January 1968 and brought the new year in with a bang, reaching number 15 on the pop charts. It ultimately found a home on The Best of the Bee Gees compilation the following year. According to Robin Gibb, the song was inspired by separate arguments which he and brother Barry had just endured. Neither was about anything in particular, "they were just words. That is what the song is all about; words can make you happy...or sad." Interestingly, Barry alone sings on the record. It was the first Bee Gees single not to feature both brothers.

Could you imagine being one of their wives having them sing to you. Special kind of love brings special words and lyrics.

an Oldie but a goodie

I'm really glad you chose this one. From the early Bee Gees time-frame, I think "Words" is their best ballad. As you correctly said in your reaction, its lyrics have such a simple, beautiful, message. Great song.

I've loved the Bee Gees since I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show singing Words in 1968. I was 14, and I am now 68 and still listen to them every single day.

I've always been a fan of the pre-disco Bee Gees, their songs were, and are, truly beautiful. And I must say how much I enjoy your honest, open emotional reactions. Its a treat to watch your reactions and listen to your informative discussions.

Barry’s vocals here are next level. Absolutely flawless.

Love you two! So wonderful to see the mother/daughter interaction. So happy you are appreciating the BeeGees! They are amazing! Wanted to point you to something really special. The singer Lulu (To Sir With Love) is Maurice Gibb's ex-wife. She asks him to appear on her show and sing a duet for a song the BeeGees wrote called "First of May". It's wonderful because you don't get to hear Maurice sing very often and to see them do this together is so beautiful. I can't watch/listen without tearing up. You need to watch the live version to see their interaction. Look for Lulu and Maurice Gibb First of May🙂

It's easy to see the difference in the way romance is viewed back in the 1960's, and today's songs. We as a society todsy are far more materialistic in our approach to relationships, and no woman today is going to settle for just some words.

One of my favorite songs. "The Bee Gees - Words" For me The Bee Gees (Top 10 song) Words debuted at No.67 in Cashbox in the United States in the week of 20 January 1968. It was the Bee Gees second UK Top 10 single after Massachusetts from 1967. The song reached No.1 in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The song has been recorded by Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996. Suggestion: Another Top song from 1967 "The Tremeloes - Silence Is Golden" Thanks! For a great "The Bee Gees - Words " Reaction video! 🙂

If you want a real treat give a listen to their little brother Andy Gib he was just as talented but died very young.He actually performed sporadically with his brothers ,what a tragic loss.

He wrote a lot of songs for his wife

Throughout the years you hear beautiful melodies such as this that makes the world a better place, for the talented artist able to express complicated social ideas and condense them down into a Song, Unfortunately the personnel cost of being a Celebrity exposes many to other human flaws (Darn that Limbic "Reptile Brain" System), and just too many Temptations. However with vast numbers of "Everyday Nobody Joe's", such as myself and wife, these tools for the Soul couldn't help but touch someone and have True Meaning. * (What I Feel Like, All Day Deep sea AmberJack Fishing), Day + 2
