Frist off let me say I'm sorry for this, the BeeGees are awesome very talented singers and song writers they have 100!! Top 10 songs to their credit I mean who else can say that, also all the proceeds from Too Much Heaven went to charity 100%, i was also blown away by the harmony of this song for years and I've been keeping this information to myself but everyone gave this guy such a hard time about auto tune and yes its way before auto tune but he's right in a way what your hearing is Barry voice tracked many times, double track is very common this is multiple tracks of Barry singing the same part and over laid on itself, that is why he thought he could here auto tune, so actually it's a very could early production of I guess you could say lip syncing, not sure of all that went into this video and how it was made but I know we're listening to Barry voice tracked multiple times, ya it killed me when I found out, sorry its not what it appears to be just them and the orchestra.

I feel like this technique was used by the Carpenters early 70's and Jam and Lewis said they did it for Janet records. I think its more than Barry falsetto..Maurice was top voice in the 3 part harmonies. Sadly the twin brothers are gone. I recommend looking at the later mature version of The Bee Gees live. "One Night Only" and "Live by request" They do "too much heaven" acoustically. Be kind to one another.

@@dee71957 I agree with you on the involvement of Maurice and Robbin in the the mix, I just wanted to get the general point across with out writing a book, if you listen close you can here a deep voice in the mix at times, in some ways the popularity of Barry's falsetto was pushed to much I think it's the song Emotion that has Robbin kicking in some really cool lines they could have used more of that in my opinion, early on the competition for lead on songs is what broke up the Bee Gees for a little while when they got back together Robbin took more of a back seat, before the break up Robbin sang lead on many songs Massachusetts being my favorite, I watched a interview with one of the studio guys who was involved in the recording of Too Much Heaven and described some of the process and part of that was how many times Barry's voice was tracked into the mix.

This is way before auto tune. This is just pure talent by these 3 brothers.

Back then there was no autotune. This is their real voices in great harmony as brothers. The 2 guys on the ends are actually twins. The one thing that gives them the superior range sound, not like they need it, is just the microphone that their singing into. That microphone is a recording microphone with gold ribbons inside for voice vibrations. If there was no music playing and it was completely silent in the room, you could actually hear their heartbeats in the microphone. So between the mic, the microphone settings for that particular room and their vocals arrangement, you have that angelic sound.. They are just amazing singers. Period!

Strange & sad, the younger generation actually does not believe people used to be able to sing like Gods, without cheating, faking, or covering it up lol. This video WAS filmed LIVE at Criteria Studios with orchestra in 1979. It's obvious his Adam's Apple, which surrounds the vocal cords, is moving. Plus, during his falsetto runs etc towards the end, it would be extremely difficult/or impossible to lip sync any of that 100% perfectly, AND have your voice box moving appropriately to it. Just tryin to help you be able to understand how to spot lip synching easily. Im not here to debate if its recorded live. I'm telling you it is. Look it up if u want! Oh & yes, they remixed it just like everything else originally done in the 70's. Recordings would sound like an AM radio, but not after the remix. However, the Gibbs singing is from one take. They would insist on all 3 singing into a single mic to get the sound perfect. The twin on the left was mostly responsible for their perfect harmonization.

No auto-tune wasn’t invented yet. Just pure talent. This was from 1978. Their style/clothes is what guys wore. So many more songs to pick from. Maybe try You Should be Dancing. I’m sure you’ve heard Staying Alive before.

When this was recorded there was no auto tune, that was their voices. They didn’t need a computer.

Best group ever. They sing a huge variety of music. All have great voices and did write all their music. I love the Bee Gees they are the best. He sings this in falsetto but he has a beautiful voice as they all do. They are brothers and have sang together since they were 6 for the twins Robin and Maurice and the middle person being Barry he was 9. There was no auto tune only their sweet voices. They sang what we all came to know as disco and many others. Some of the popular songs are.... Staying Alive.... How Deep is your love.... Tragedy....Words.... More than a Woman... Love you inside and out...How do you Mend a Broken Heart...Nights on Broadway...They have been around from the 60s and had hits in every decade. You won't be disappointed in discovering these great talents.

Absolutely NO AUTOTUNE!

So proud to have grown up with ACTUAL singers. You have a great future!

No such thing as Auto tune in the 70's. Pure God given talent!

This generation can’t believe that the groups like the BeeGees actually sounded like this in a live performance. What auto tune? This is just straight out raw talent from one of the greatest singing groups ever. These groups during this time…were truly talented! Their harmonies. The fact that they wrote all of the own songs. These songs had emotion, feeling, etc. and definitely no electronics to enhance their voices. The Beach Boys were the same way. Their song writing, harmonies. And when I saw them in person in concert they sounded better live vs recorded. And no auto tune or electronics to enhance their voices like you have today.

"I'm hearing a slight auto tune ... it's not bad. I like it...." Auto tune in the 70s lol. Uhm, no. Those are real instruments too lol. Please keep watching more videos. The Bee Gee's are Legends 💗

No cardboard cutouts thrust upon us by record companies on the basis of looks or stripping ability alone and no talent to back it up. It was 1979 and it's always great to see younger people appreciate the Bee Gees. They were awesome.

All natural high pitch voices. Amazing! They are considered one of the top falsetto and harmony groups of all time. You need to listen to their most famous song Stayin' Alive. They sing the song entirely falsetto. Also the song Reachin' Out is sung entirely falsetto.
