"just sweet plush LiteFM soft rock" Hahaha so true. A&A sometimes note whether somebody is doing what they do exceptionally well. The BeeGees did this better than anybody else. I think their up-tempo stuff has more general appeal, but this is indeed peak "sweet plush LiteFM soft rock." Alex doesn't like most soft rock or 80s keyboard pop. He sometimes surprises. And to be fair, a lot of the world has gone towards harder rock. I think the grunge shift changed the popular acceptance of hard rock. Mainstreamed it in a way it was not before. But I think Millennials were weaned on hard rock and don't do soft so much.

I would say "underappreciated" because there are tons of people who think the Bee Gees were a disco act, and they were definitely not. They state that in the documentary. They may not care to realize the amazing library of hits they had before Saturday Night Fever. So I would agree with that analogy. I, for one, loved them as a child of the 70's, and they are still in my top 5 ever. They're absolutely amazing. When I was 13 in 1979, my sister's took me to see them, and at the time, I was obsessed with them, literally.

The Bee Gees have unmatched harmonies, and their song writing is sublime. This song is simply beautiful.

I read an interview once with a Alice Cooper roadie who recounted the moment the crew put this 8 track on the tour bus prepared to openly MOCK IT (this was the height of disco) but said with every track the bus got quieter and quieter and by the time it was finished everybody just looked at each other in stunned silence remarking " The music was so good you couldn't hate it! "....

I was a sophomore in college when that movie came out, and all that music. It literally changed my life. How? well I was a total nerd with no girlfriends. After watching that movie several times I bought some nice clothes, started taking more care of my appearance, learned how to dance. I went to the discos and all of that caused me to gain confidence. And with more confidence I went from having no dating life to having plenty of girlfriends. Just my little story.

Loved your story, I'll share mine. Growing up had a divorced neighbor man with two daughters that were there for visitation every other weekend.

Dad moved away and we never saw each other anymore. 10 years later, 1977, her and I happened to run into each only to learn we both had had crushes on each other! We started dating and this was our song. We were together several years but unfortunately eventually grew apart and broke up. But hearing this song immediately brings me back to a very peaceful time in my life when I felt like I was on top of the world. I agree with Andy, it's an S for sure.

Alex knows so little of the 1980s which I think contributes to his "dislike" of the 80s. To think of this song as 1980s is hilarious to those of us who actually lived in the 1970s and 1980s. This song, being on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, is firmly cemented in the 1970s as much as any new wave hit could ever be in the 1980s.

I don’t think there’s a Bee Gees song that I don’t like but this is one of my favorites. I also like “Fanny Be Tender With My Love”. Apparently they were writing the song and weren’t happy with the way the name was sounding. The housekeeper walked by so they put her name in and liked it so much they kept it.

Nah this song's S-tier for sure. One of the most stunningly beautiful ballads ever.

That wasn't a sound effect on his voice , that was the sound of the 3 bothers together , a movie soundtrack that dominated the airwaves for a year , when I was in high school this was released and we all loved to hate them but as time has gone by it puts a smile on my face and no Auto correct , watch some of their live performances , its perfection.

Robert Stigwood asked them to write 5 songs for this movie. They wrote 5 #1 hits in 3 days,amazing.

"Too Much Heaven" was released a year later. It also has stellar vocals/harmonies.

This song proves that vocals are a real instrument.

Thanks Andy for promoting this one. I'm with you - one of the most beautiful love songs in pop music. For a lot of us it's mind transporter to the girl we had a hopeless crush on in high school or jr. high. Then of course there are the harmonies of the Brothers Gibb. They put us on a cloud until they "softly leave". Cheers to you.

There is a BeeGees song for every taste. They were so undeniably good, and craftsmen at their art. Nights On Broadway is my personal favorite, a great showcase of each brother's individual and distinct vocals.

There is nothing like the vocal harmony between siblings. To me, Robin Gibb had the most memorable voice which grew on me as I got older and now is my favorite of the three. Listen to "I Started a Joke" with Robin as the lead or a 1970 tune called "Lonely Days" with Barry singing lead.

To Love Somebody. Wow. How those lyrics hit. Some rare songs just hit the nail on the head. Universal understanding. That feeling is understood immediately on a deep level. The melody is a double whammy. Just inspired. Strangely I relate to my dad. He loved the BeeGees. On 8 track. He was not a rock or pop guy. I did not hear any of that growing up. But i did hear the BeeGees. We were estranged. He let me down badly, repeatedly. A diagnosed narcissist. I could never reach him. Or get basic stuff from the relationship no matter how hard i tried. He left me in need with a smile as a minor, a lot. Anyways, grief was complicated when he died. Sad for what i never was able to get. I really was stuck. Angry too.Then i heard To Love Somebody, and in particular the lines “ In my brain I see your face again I know my frame of mind You ain't got to be so blind And I'm blind, so, so, so blind I'm a man Can't you see what I am? I live and I breathe for you But what good does it do If I ain't got you, ain't got? You don't know what it's like, baby You don't know what it's like To love somebody To love somebody The way I love you”, and I connected. It resonates. The tears came. I could finally articulate my feelings through this song. The power of music is amazing. Great band.

Diffrent strokes. Barry's falsetto (and especially my perception of faux emotion in his whisper falsetto in some of their other songs) tends to be the thing that bugs me most about Bee Gees' songs. But I can certainly appreciate the skill.

A classic from 1977. A classic in 2023. This song, and the LEGENDARY soundtrack it comes from, has not lost ANY of its luster. It's meant to reflect the protagonist of the film, Tony, in relationship to the girl he wants and has romanced throughout the film, Stephanie (he lives in Brooklyn, she resides in Manhattan). I used to hear this monumental double album/LP on my parents' 8-Track...a childhood memory that I recall every time I listen to the Saturday Night Fever OST, on Japanese Hi-Def mini-LP papersleeve SHM-CD format, in The 21st Century. Enjoy, Gentlemen.

‘To love somebody’ - supreme

As someone who hated disco at the time, I've always had a strong affinity to the Bee Gee's songs on this soundtrack. VERY well-written pop classics.

If you guys want to hear the song that The Bee Gees think is their best vocal performance, you should react to “Fanny Be Tender With My Love”, a massive hit song from 1975. They hardly ever performed it in concert because the vocals were just too complex to pull off live.

This was the album that even people who claimed to hate disco secretly loved.

The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaKdurWhZ9m9gqw.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXyTzJtplqavm5c.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJp8t7VufcmWYLQ.html.

Even when I hated the BeeGees on principal (I’ve gotten over that) I loved this song.

Bee Gees body of work is so large and full of immortal records. Great songwriters and arrangers. Their best ballad was "Words" and I'm partial to their earlier records, "Spicks and Specks", "I Can't See Nobody," "Massachusetts" and "Lonely Days," to name a few. Major props to them for hiring so many musicians on their first few albums, before they discovered the ARP synthesizer in the 1970s.

The wall of sound they make using their harmonies to create that blissful, sonic etherealness is what sold me on this song when it was first released, and it still holds up today.

I'd like to see you go back to earlier Bee Gees and hit To Love Somebody.

One of the best-written pop songs of all time. You can hear their early heavy Beatles influence here because they do something the Beatles were known for: every time you repeat a section, change it up in some way. Sing different words with the same melody, or tweak the backing instruments, or whatever. They were amazing songwriters both for themselves and for several other artists.

A&A, you'll love their "Night Fever" and "To Love Somebody"!!! edit- A&A, so glad you got to hear the full Billy Paul- Me and Mrs Jones on the stream yesterday. An all-time classic.

A song I've ve heard a billion times and love, and can't imagine no one ever hearing it. Its a crime.🙂

They started as kids in the early 60's and continued until the early 2000's when Maurice died but the ridiculous backlash on disco buried them and they could not get airplay for the terrific stuff they wrote in the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

Another interesting note. I grew up on the east end of Long Island, small town. In about 75, kids came out from NYC in the summer. There was a teen night at a club with a Dj. The city guys were dancing like nothing I have ever seen. SNF came out 2 years later.

Reminds me of awkward slow dances at school discos in 1977/78 ish… Love the Bee Gees though!

Closet Bee Gees in the 70's but now openly embrace them as well as any feel good groups.

You need to explore their music pre-disco. Or even better yet, hits they wrote for others.

Major Props to Andy & Alex for yesterdays Epic stream 🎉 🔥 They mentioned needing Live James Brown( avoid blocked) Best Live perfornance ever!! " James Brown- Outta Sight Live on Tami Show 64" ( Needs to be seen to be believed) JB doing Moonwalk when MJ was in his diapers !!

Brothers Gibb (BGs - Bee Gees) are one of the great groups of all time. They didn’t invent disco, they pre-dated it. But they exemplified it the way the Allman Brothers exemplified southern rock, Van Halen rock, and Prince heavy metal.

@@lilpoohbear653 , maybe, but When Doves Cry is a classic heavy metal song. Call it whatever you want though.

To have grown up in the 60’s and 70’s hearing this group was nothing you can explain to people of music today. Prob the best band for the ages of musicians writers,singers, producers all in one.

In my opinion, this is one of the most nearly perfect love songs ever written. So good! I'd love to see you guys go to some of their older stuff, when they were a key part of the creation of prog rock. "Holiday" or "Lonely Days" needs to be given a listen.

Wow. I feel like I'm listening to the real music nerds of somewhere/when. Love to hear your input on my favourite group of all time. 100 top 10 hits throughout the decades. Not a bad range. Immaculate harmonies and lyrics. A warm cocoon of cuddly soundwaves. That initial wall of harmony is perfect. Please do more Bee Gees.. For whom the bell tolls, is fantastic. Or some Jimmy Barnes with Cold Chisel for a wild one. Bow River live at ringside 2003 is unforgettable. Great concept you two 👍👍

So true & yes....more Bee Gees please!

"Night Fever" hits you the first listen. "How Deep Is Your Love" gets better with repeated listenings.

This takes me back to going to the theatre and seeing Saturday Night Fever when it came out, I wasn’t a disco girl but man I enjoyed this movie and it’s soundtrack very much. I thought it was a well made film that captured a moment in time.

Perfect hang over song. It even comes into the movie as a hang over with Travolta evaluating his life on the subway

I'm beyond shocked that you guys havent heard this song yet, it's sooooo good. Check out the short video where they all sing it in acapella on a talk show - no autotune required AT ALL :D

you need to see the live version of any of there performances to really appreciate them.

They knew how to put together a song and make it a hit. Like their stuff or not, they were hugely talented.

Ah man a perfect way to take us into the week on Monday.. esp after Alex had such an "eventful" Wknd😁 And maybe others I won't name😉 Thnx Andy. Respect the A ratings. It's an A+ for me. Glad to see y'all showing some love to the Bee Gees ❣️ Have a great week .. Cheers Gents 🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼

Nights on Broadway is another great track by the boys.

Great pick, Andy. Perfect, lovely, mature 70’s ballad. One of the BeeGee’s best. Alex is wrong - that piano tone is pure 70’s. Not 80’s. The weird 80’s hate is making this channel a bummer. But anyway in the immortal words of Wayne Campbell, “I mean, Led Zeppelin didn’t write tunes that every one liked. They left that to the Bee Gees.” ✌️

"Weird 80's hate". Good way to put it 👍

@@SpiritAnimalVSOP It's really annoying. I guess I shouldn't say much, tho. I DESPISE rap and hip-hop and absolutely REFUSE to listen to it.

The closing song in the movie Saturday Night Fever, which featured Staying Alive as it's opener. The Bee Gees could do no wrong at this point. The high part in the song is Barry's famous falsetto. The harmonies are exceptional as always. A great love song.
