I grew up with this great group. They wrote all their own music for themselves & others. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Barry has a great falsetto voice. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
It's just a song - a really great song, but just a song. For me personally, I like that they named it Angela, because it feels like an angelic choir when they sing. This lead does belong to Barry and his gorgeous, raw and powerful voice. I am happy you enjoyed it. I am a fan of E.S.P. and this is a lovely song that also shows off the brothers' beautiful harmony.
@@natashyahendrix2 I am doing pretty well. I just laid out my clothes (and ooh shoes) for tomorrow to speed up the morning rush. I feel like a 3rd grader. LOL What kind of day did you have?
@@natashyahendrix2 Well I made it through the day at the office. Very strange being there after all this time. I'm tired but fine. Some of the anxiety is easing.
Yep, just a song with good choice of name, nothing personal, but they sure sing with emotion! Agree 100% with the Christian perspective and God's Word! ❤️❤️❤️
I love all your reactions but please do the reaction to some Robin's or Maurice's song!!!! Massachusetts, Juliet, Closer Than Close , Man In the Middle ❤️❤️❤️
In 1987 I purchased the E.S.P cassette tape. Right away my favorite was Angela of all the songs on the tape. I went to Miami in 2016. I found where Barry lived. I went there and took some pictures and posted them on Facebook. A lady that was good friends with the Bee Gees since the 1970s messaged me back and asked if I met Barry. I said no. Her name was Georgette. She asked me if a black Escalade was parked under a green awning by his house. There was. She said that he was at home. It was on a Sunday, which is his family time she said. Then she said to wait til Monday morning and go back to his house and wave at the huge camera by his main driveway and wait til someone comes out and ask them if he will meet me. I did what she said and waited. Finally someone I couldn't identify came out there to the gate. I asked if Barry would meet me. They went back in and glory behold, he appeared from the side of the house where he was parked. Wow. I trembled a little. I was nervous. He came to the gate and shook my hand. I talked with him for a few minutes and asked him about my favorite song which is Angela. I asked, 'What inspired you to write Angela'? He said that it was from an idea that was just to write another song. A filler for the album. Amazing that this song is more powerful and heartfelt than any other on the album. It's the best. Anyway that's the story. In 2008 we lost a young family member named Angela and I thought of this song. She was only 27.
Just hypothetical. Barry married Maureen in Australia as a teen but left to return to the UK and then married Linda for over 50 years. Robin married Molly at 19 but was always gone touring and she refused to leave the UK so his wife left him after 11 years. He remarried and was with Dwina 30 years from the early 1980's until he died in 2012. Mo briefly married the singer Lulu but they were very young and split up. He married Yvonne in the 70's and they stayed together until he died in 2003.
I'm with you. Robin was such an intelligent and eccentric personality. Barry said NOBODY could match his wit. His voice was inimitable. Mo was a master musician and fun guy.
@@Zlata1313 Yeah it definitely was R&B, not disco. Their most well known songs are disco but the music _generally_ in that period was R&B, a blend of soul and funk. One of the most underrated groups in recent memory for how big they were then. The disco backlash was valid in my opinion but they shouldn’t have been the face of it. Their music was phenomenal.
@@triad5766 they hated the disco label. They offered those already written songs to Robert Stigwood, never knew it would become what it did. So I don't agree about deserving becoming the poster child for disco.
Until your channel, the only Bee Gees I heard was on Saturday Night Live, Barry Gibb Talk Show with Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. So thanks for introducing me to some Bee Gees.
