The HBO documentary was incredible. Noel Gallagher said it best. “When you’ve got brothers singing it’s like an instrument that nobody else can buy.”

What made that white lady talking Juve was that she was June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver, about the whitest show on TV. For her to know jive was hilarious. She said in an interview that she got on set and the two gentlemen actors taught her what to say. They were really nice to her and thought it was super funny.

When the Bee Gees first started out in England, They were told 'White people didn't sing rhythm and blues' That all changed in the mid 1970s and they hit it in stride. They had a special and unique talent, and they had one soul people would call 'blue-eyed soul'.

Maurice on that bass 🖤🖤🖤

This song was originally "Drive Talkin" -- their producer suggested the change to jive which was common lingo in the day for telling lies. The song is about a guy in a relationship with a woman telling him lies/treating him cruelly. This was their comeback hit after being off the charts for 4-5 years.

The producer told them that Jive talking in America meant bu*llsh*ting someone, so they changed it to, you telling me lies.

Mr. V, have you ever done a reaction to the Bee Gees "To Love Somebody"? They wrote the song for the great brother Otis Redding. Sadly he died in a plane crash so they recorded it themselves. BTW, you haven't reacted to Otis himself, one of the great ones (like you, lol)

The Bee Gees went from a moderately successful folk pop group to a huge success with funky disco. This was the start. Catchy tune. I think it's just about jive talking....lying back in the day .

You really need to listen to a couple of duets Barry did with Barbra Streisand. ‘Guilty’ and ‘What kind of fool’. Album versions. You’ll fall in love.

The Bee Gees wer more than disco. They wrote and sang go oe decades. They wrote so many top 10 songs foe other artists. They could have 3 top 10 at the same time between singing ad writing. They also wrote for their brother Andy.

Bee gees

70’s were a totally different animal. Coolest era.

The bee gees are definitely built different for sure just the swagger, their vibe, their voices

Yeah, that’s one of the reasons for their popularity, they are extremely unique. A one of a kind band. There really is no one like them. And if you’re like me, a very hard Rock guy, it’s extra impressive I like them. I’m not that bias, quality is quality regardless of genre. They have solid songwriting and impossible to forget hooks. Plus hair. 👍

Bee Gees have achieved Legend status!!

Brilliant musicians and brothers whose father was a professional musician. They could play numerous instruments and wrote so many songs. Especially, Barry, the oldest brother and lead singer.

I seem to remember everybody loving the Bee Gees, but nobody wanted to admit it. I was just a kid, I admitted I loved them.

Well, enough folks in the comments have already covered the difference between "Jive Talking", and "Talking Jive". You watch enough black sitcoms from the 70s, and you'll find the word "jive" thrown around quite a bit! The Bee Gees were quite the thing back in the day! You heard them singing all over the place, because someone always had them playing somewhere! "The Singing Dolphins" is what my dd would call them! LOL!

I ❤ The Bee Gees when I was little and I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ them STILL!!!!

Everybody thought they were black for years! You have about 40 years of songs to catch up with! Nights on Broadway, You win again, and everything in between.

Jive Talking‼️I've been dying to see if you were gonna get to this one🤘 This is such a great jam, my favorite of theirs‼️🎶🎵🎼🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤

Jive ~ ♥ That bass line always made me... mmmmmmmmmmmoist! LOL

"They were built with extra soul" #truth ❤

“Staying Alive”- Bee Gees at their best.

Cool. 🎼🎼 Jive Talking.

The freaking BeeGee’s are everything!!!

They were born in the UK back when it was Great Britain, then they spent a few years growing up in Australia but they were practicing their singing on the ship to Oz.....

I REMEMBER THAT SCENE FROM "AIRPLANE" BEE GEES ORIGINALLY FROM AUSTRALIA, I THINK. THE TWINS WERE ON THE "DATING GAME" TV SHOW YEARS AGO.

When us oldies were young we would hang out at each other's houses, mostly mine, and just listen to records together. That's how watching you feels. I'm listening to records and digging it with a friend.

Growing up in the 70's and 80's my friend's mom was a nurse who worked in a prison. She had to take classes in Jive so she could communicate with some of the prisoners

Jive talking in the 1970s meant that you were lying. Hence the second phrase of “your telling me lies, yeah.”

Aye my musical brother and my favorite Bee Gees song...what a great combination to brighten my Thursday.

You’ve only reacted to 8 songs out of 1000!!! Please add MORE THAN A WOMAN, LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT, and TO LOVE SOMEBODY to the top of your Bee Gees list and PLEASE don’t make us wait so long before the next Bee Gees reaction. Yes, you are right, they aren’t typical. They are all supposed to have perfect pitch, so can naturally sing and play, but Barry especially has this musically gifted brain for pulling songs out of the heavens, in any genre, can custom write with the simplest of inspiration. They grew up around music, and Barry would pretend to be sick so he could stay home and listen to his mother sing while she did the laundry she took in. When they got a tv when he was 8 and he saw someone entertaining the audience, he declared that was what he was going to do. Shortly afterwards he told the 5 year old twins he was going to be a pop star, and they asked if they could be pop stars, too. He just knew at 8 years old and started rehearsing, writing songs, and looking for anyone he could find to sing to. Worked passionately to make the dream come true, and to make sure the world would know he had been here. Interesting to think that he was only given 20 minutes to live when he pulled a tea pot of just boiled water over onto himself as a toddler, and hardly spoke before 4 or 5 years old. But his mom said he always had a song for anyone who asked! You should react to BEE GEES 1960 to see the earliest video of them performing live on Australian tv at ages 13 and 10. (They’re British, but parents immigrated to Aus. to keep them out of reform school.)

BABY METAL 'GIMME CHOCOLATE' YOU'LL LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love all the Bee Gees classics. 😊

Born in 1970...yeah, I'm familiar with jive talkin, & the BeeGees

Barry started writing the song like Jive Dancing. "Dance with your eyes." A producer told him jiving is like lying or BSing. The beginning of the song sounds like the bridge they drove on the way to their studio.

Nights on Broadway by the Bee Gees

Jive talkin. We were riding skateboards down hills in a southern mill town when this came out.

Night's on Broadway!!! A classic Bee Gees and,To love somebody!

I love the BeeGees

If you want to watch some more Bee Gees performances, you might want to check out their TV performances from the 1960s, particularly from 1967 onward. You can react to their TV performances for their songs, "To Love Somebody", "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?", and ""I Started A Joke". The Bee Gees' TV performances prior to 1967 were from a time when they were a "boy band" in Australia. Their best performance during that time period, was their 1963 cover of the Bob Dylan song, ""Blowing In The Wind". All of these performances are available for viewing here on KZread.

I'm SO stoked that you watched this. Honestly, it's my favorite by the BeeGees.

‘More Than A Woman’ is another amazing song of theirs you should listen to. And for heavens sake listen to some of their baby brother Andy Gibb. He had a solo career with some great songs. Shadow Dancing, Don’t Throw it Away, I Just Want To Be Your everything are just a few. Loved Andy.

Hey handsome, Great song, Bee Gees are Epic, You def have to ck out their little brother, Andy Gibb, He passed away young, but was on his way to a great career...Thanks Mr. V. Peace

Jive Talkin' is a perfect song for you. 😎

This was one of my favorites since I was 9 yrs old. Maurice's bass playing skills are so smooth & funky, you can't sit still. You just gotta start movin' & groovin', even if it's only chair dancing, that's ok too! I'm glad you finally got to this one, we've been waiting awhile for it. :-) Try some of their later music... One (1989) and Alone (1997) were big chart toppers and two more of my favorite Bee Gees songs.

“Speak to me regular, I’m the BeeGee” hahahaha!!!! Mr. Video you really do crack me up!! You are onto something though. The Bee Gees are built differently. They do have a soulful vibe in their sound.

I was so glad that I got to see these talented..I mean super talented brothers in person x3 times!!!!🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏I am so glad that you love these guys music!!!
