I appreciate the honesty, brother. Nat King Cole sound white, Bobby Caldwell sound black. So what? But if this song don't put you in a groove, you already dead. Great reaction.

It’s never occurred to me that people might think the bee gees were African-American. Like as an Aussie you just grow up listening to it and just know. they were born in the UK but their parents moved the family out to Australia where they eventually kicked off their music career later on.

OMG, need to share a story of this in reverse. Right after Micheal Jackson passed away, they were showing all these videos of his days with Jackson 5. She said" I didn't know Micheal Jackson was black?!!", and pardon me for my reaction, but I started laughing so hard I cried, and she laughed also but didn't know why. I know he had a skin condition that I was very aware of and I know it was a very sensitive issue for Micheal. But those of us who grew up aware of him saw the gradual difference, but it him someone who didn't witness those changes, how would they know?!!! All the jokes that people made about him, I wouldn't allow my children or grandchildren to laugh at someone with this issue. But I look at it as ya'll were laughing because you were surprised the Beegees were white?!!!, no offense taken, whatsoever!!!. My heart really ached for Micheal and I really felt his pain when he did "Oprah interview, and she brought up how people actually mentioned they thought he bleached his skin to get rid of his blackness. You could tell it really hurt.

I made my housemate have an existential crisis a few years back when he found out the Bee Gees were white......i remember him spurting out "my community has lied to me for too long", and i'm pretty sure he said "I don't know whether i'm happy or sad" as well at one stage, so i'm pretty sure this is a normal reaction for a black dude discovering the Bee Gees.

I'm a 65-year-old white lady and grew up on the Bee Gees. And I think your reaction was sooooo awesome! Most black people thought the Righteous Brothers were black too and some other artist. I think it's cool. I think we hear people and have preconceived ideas about how they sound. LOL And it so great seeing people react to the old groups from the 70's and 80s. I love it. I had every Bee Gee album.

They’re amazing. How Deep is your Love is another wonderful hit. They are brothers, hence why their harmony is spot on

Screw the hypersensitive. I'm a huge BG fan and i know what you mean. Join the club of those who thought they were black, lol. BG created the funkiest 70's music. This song was about the bad situation in NY back then especially in Bronx.Please, react to 'You should be dancing'

It is enough to know that we humans can create such beautiful music. The colour of their skin is no more relevant, in terms of having such ability, than the type of shoes they wear. One of the most wonderful things about music is that it transcends everything else, including race. As Duke Ellington once said, "there's two kinds of music - good music and the other kind." The Bee Gees made good music.

Many ppl call them the Kings of Disco. They were even inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have soooo many classic songs!!!

I ADORE you, Biz! Don’t you apologize! This now my favorite reaction of yours. This is the original. They wrote it, sang it on the album from the movie “Saturday Night Fever.” These men were magic.

Here I am, 68 years old and you made me smile! I love the way you said "I thought it was....". Subscribing cause I need to see someone as happy as you reacting to my music of the 70's.

Music brings everyone together, no matter race, creed, color or stupidity (the last bit was meant as a joke).

Love love the Bee Gees and I'm black Australian

Your enthusiasm and laughter speak volumes. As do mine!! We would all be so better off if we just took a moment to listen to each other.

You are certainly not the first black reactor to be surprised. The Bee Gees crossed all genres. Unreal talent. They wrote a catalog of music that is only rivaled by Lennon/McCartney. Some serious blues to blow your mind: “Tobacco Road” ( the live version) by Johnny & Edgar Winter. Your reaction to Bee Gees, (I LOVE them), had me on the floor laughing. The Winters Brothers are guaranteed to knock you out.

If you have HBO Max, watch the documentary about The Bee Gees called “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart”. It’s all about how they got started as kids (they are brothers) and the rise to the top of the music world. The doc shows how they created the worlds first drum loop for “Staying Alive” by literally looping a drum beat on a loop tape that was stretched around the studio...hence the name “drum loop”

Talent and genius have no colors! Great reaction!

I love it many are waking up to are soulful sounds and there are many! ENJOY

Barry the one in the middle, and his brothers Robin and Maurice knew how to strut. That is for sure. Cheers.

Stayin Alive has been covered 69 times, and sampled In 74 songs to date, including by Wycliffe Jean (1997) and N-Trance (1995). Other Bee Gees songs have also been sampled and covered by black artists. (Examples: LOVE YOU INSIDE AND OUT and EMOTION) There’s a Will Smith/Bee Gees mashup that you may be thinking of, but my favourite Stayin Alive mashup is with AC/DC’s Back in Black!!

I went to a concert in the early 90’s (Queensland Australia) to see Isaac Hayes. At the start of the show, all these cool black guys came on stage along with a white guitarist in a coy boy hat and boots…. Not only was it one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen, this guy was the funkiest rhythm guitarist’s on the planet….I guess Isaac knew that talent surpasses race🙏🏾 loved the reaction
