I can :) I practiced imitating his falsetto for years and now I can sound nearly identical. For that you need to be able to hit high notes naturally and using your nose makes it easier. Still he’s very smooth and his song writing is legendary, I have nothing but respect for him.
This used to be one my mom´s fave songs ever ..She used to listen to the Barbra Streisand version .I just found out today after watching the amazing hbo documental of the Bee Gees that the incredible genious Barry wrote this for Barbra ♥ Thanks Barry for this gem that somehow brings me back to these beautiful moments shared with my mom who is now resting in heaven ♥
haha, how is this even possible? it's awesome. even by his standards these notes are high! barry's falsetto is both brilliant and funny at the same time. a great singer and songwriter, a true legend.
Not quite, I think Barbara Streisand has the edge on Barry as the song compliments her voice that bit more. Full credit to he and his brother Robin writing and composing it though.
Robert McElwaine of course this was writen for Barbra, i think she did it better...but the fact that Barry could sing it in Streisand (woman) range is marvelous..and you cannot say this version is off, this is really good
Surprisingly, he pulled this off better than I thought. When I found that he had wrote this it made me think of Mark Knopfler writing "Private Dancer".
Saw an interview recently where Barry was saying that he always did demos of songs specifically written for women in falsetto so that they could here a more realistic sound.

La canción fue compuesta por los mismos hermanos Barry y Robin Gibb para Barbra Streissand poniéndose ellos mismos en el papel de una mujer para escribirla.
America hated the Brothers Gibb after 1980 yet records produced by the Gibbs and sounding like the Bee Gees ended up becoming solid number ones in the US of A
That seems like an odd statement. Maybe they had some blowback in the 'disco' era, due to their massive role in the soundtrack of "Saturday Night Fever". But they still had plenty of chart success in the USA, after that soundtrack LP came out.
I sing in falsetto too....I never knew this was a Barry Gibb number... Always thought it was a Barbara song...he even sung a key higher than Barbara...
Bonjour Barry j'Aime Cette Musique Merci tu es la Suite de tes Frères les " Beeg Gees" Quelle belle Musique j'espère que tes Frères Reposent en Paix !!Betty de Bretagne le 19.09.2019
This is a demo Barry Gibb recorded for Barbara Streisand, because he co-wrote the song with his brother. He didn't originally intend it to be publically released (otherwise he wouldn't sing he's a "woman in love" :) ) .
I have been a lifelong fan of the Gibb brothers and their music. A long long life. They were/are phenomenal. But I'm even more astonished at just how many songs that they wrote for other artists. We all have enjoyed their sound for nearly 7 decades but the song writing is the true mark of excellence. Their music will never die.
que barbaro un genio de la musica el Album De BARBRA STREISAND es uno de mis consentidos yo creo es el numero uno y sin querer llego a esta version de BARRY impresionante mil gracias por subirla
Barry always sang demos that were specifically written for a woman to sing in falsetto. This is so that the range and feeling of the song would be closer to the woman's own range.
