Brother, I was 13 years old when I heard the release of "Too Much Heaven" on the radio and no lie, it shook the ground I walked on. It was competing with many others, but it kept knocking them all down. This song had me in tears because, of all the beautiful songs we had, this song wore the crown. The flow, the lyrics, the vocals, the harmony, the instrumentation, the mix, the mastering, it was all top bill! And it was a song for charity. It didn't matter because the song said everything my heart wanted to say to this girl. And here it is in 2024 STILL having an impact on people. Barry Gibb knew what he was doing when he wrote this song. The Brothers Gibb didn't make a cent from it, but it solidified their legend!
I will never understand why we stopped using trumpets/brass instruments in music considering the instant they come in on this song EVErYoNE starts vibing hard

Try Bee Gee's 'Too much Heaven' next. you will blow your mind. The Bee Gee's are 3 brothers, Eldest and tallest, Barry Gibb and his younger twin brothers Robin (no beard) and Maurice (Morris). All three are musical geniuses. Born in the UK. Lived 8 formative years in Australia returned to London to be launched onto the world music scene by the same company as managed The Beatles (1967) though they had a different manager, Robert Stigwood.
I love watching reactions to the songs I grew up with. Im 61 and remember when this song first came out, to me it was just an average song, because there was so much good music back then it was hard for one song to really stand out. The 70s just pumped out hit after hit. constantly. It was hard for the radio DJs to come out with a top 10 list back then.
This is pure fire, it's called Talent, something that has gone away. Today a frog could be a star. The Bee gees were the Best. No mixers, nothing but talent
If u want to hear a bit of their rock side listen to ,Tragedy, another to song is Wedding day, heck there are so so many more. You can catch them in concert on RU-vid name of concerts are One Night Only and another is By Request Live very very good 👍
