    I believe when people asked him how he uses his voice, his response was something like 'I don't sing with my voice, I sing with my heart'

I've heard that those frequencies are tapping into our "pleasure centers". Bee Gees are really good at that. That's probably why Rock-n-Rollers have trouble with their music.

    Robins voice was incredible. His voice as a 16-17 year old kid was magnificent. He could go from a low, rich, baritone vibrato to delicate, soaring high tenor (maybe even countertenor.) Just listen to the song “ I started a Joke”. Listen to the best quality recording with headphones. It’s an incredible performance- and he was 18. Unfortunately, his style went out of fashion and he wasn’t featured. But he also did the falsetto and quite well. The song “Love Me” is an example of a song where his falsetto is prominent at the end. I guess he was negatively affected by the falsetto criticisms and shied away from the falsetto, although his early 80s techno solo work featured his falsetto. He doesn’t get enough credit for one of the most amazing and talented voices of Pop/Rock of the late 20th century. With the right song, his voice was incomparably beautiful. It was often underutilized within the confines of The Bee Gees in their last 20-25 years.

    @@keithwigley1256 indeed. I think their flame-out period of ‘73-‘74, almost broke, living in the Isle of Man drove them to dedicating themselves to selling records. What choice did they have? That was their job. They had kids, wives and taxes to pay. But I don’t think they compromised their musical integrity one but. I think they had the BALLS to go R&B. I too was taken aback by the sudden change. But they captured a new generation of fans. I actually look at ‘75-‘77 as their most creative period. Main Course? Not a “disco” album. 2 great Country songs ( Robin’s vocal in Country Lanes is awesome) the rest blue eyed soul and Funk. Then Children of the world is Hard-driving, serious R&B. Not “Disco”. They pulled-it off. They were a great R&B band. Their side-men were the best. Richardson and Galutin, their producers ( like Mardin before them) were geniuses. It worked. But yes- Robins voice was a casualty. At least his single leads were.

    He has a beautiful delicate tone. Some others have mentioned his faster (almost quavery) vibrato, which while really accurate gives that feeling of vulnerability and emotion. Just a lovely lovely voice.

He's also extremely capable of making the listener cry (he's been making me cry for decades) because that voice goes straight to the heart. So unique and so beautiful....and I think if my heart could sing it would sound like Robin Gibb. Thanks again for doing this.

    Maurice Gibb said in their HBO documentary that their father used to get annoyed with Robin when doing his voice exercises. Their father told Robin to “…shut up, you sound like a bloody nanny goat…” I would venture to say his vibrato was natural early on and not necessarily a part of his emotions. Robin had the most unique voice. Yet, when he and Barry sang unison together, they sounded as one voice singing. Maurice mentioned that in the interview as well.

    This song laid perfect for his voice. The vulnerability in his voice is a huge part of his appeal. And you are so right, his emotion naturally comes out in his delivery. I think because Barry sang in falsetto so much during the late 70's, people assume Robin was doing the same at the same notes. His voice is naturally higher and he was often using head voice. You made such a good point that the richness in Barry and Robin singing together, whether in harmony or unison, was the melding of their different vocal characteristics.
