I get so happy watching young people enjoying the BeeGees. I’m 70 and have 50 yrs of memories of their many songs. All genres. So many people danced to their music at the roller rinks of their childhood. Many young people thought they were songs recorded by black singers.
@@paul8926I met my husband in a disco and we fell in love while dancing to "More than a woman " in 1979. We got married in 1980 and it was our 1st dance at the reception. Btw: My husband, 2 groomsmen and our pastor all had Barry Gibb shaggy hairdos and beards. 😊😅
This was my 20's and a great time to be Alive in America. It wasn't just the music, it was beautiful people of all colors shapes, and sizes, coming together to celebrate dance, rhythm and soul. What started in underground clubs broke loose in the form of the Bee Gees and was followed by a host of very talented singers and producers. We learned the dances, movements, and syncopation. Our women were dressed to the 9's and beautiful. All of this was to be followed by grunge, filth, and useless noise.
Can’t help but be reminded of kenny Everett when I hear this. Can’t believe how long ago these disco songs were playing on the radio and top of the tops on tv every Thursday! Good times.
YAY earlier Bee Gees. To Love Somebody, Turn of the Century, Holiday, Idea, I Started A Joke, Words, First Of May, Don't Forget To Remember, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Fanny Be Tender With My Love,
As a kid; the very first song I've heard from them was "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart". It was their first big hit in the US, and we had the single, for which I played the hell out of. I think this should be your next song from them
Robin's signature song! I would want him to do Fanny Be Tender With My love over just about anything. It's too complex for them to have done live. Quincy Jones called it his favorite R&B song.@@seansmith5826
Suggestions for earlier music: To Love Somebody, I've Gotta Get a Message To You, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Words, Massachusetts. That can get you started. Also check out Keith Urban's version of To Love Somebody live at a Bee Gees tribute concert with Barry in the audience. It's breathtaking, and his guitar is incredible!
I'm 61. I usually lean towards Elvis Costello, CCR, Beatles, The Clash...etc. But what no one knows (I live alone!) is that at night... I drink some wine, turn on my little disco ball, put my headphones on, and dance like a crazy person to Disco (especially Bee Gees). Your saying that you enjoy it too emboldened me to blurt that out! Thank you for helping me feel OK that I enjoy my own little dance party every night!!
I am 60 years old and I faced a great deal of ridicule from my friends for loving the Bee Gees, but I never cared. They were and are awesome and not only did I like them, but so did the girls I dated, which was a bonus! Great music. Great memories. Thanks.
I can tell just by watching you react to this that you are feeling the disco beat! The Bee Gees were already hits before disco took over all the dance clubs, but Saturday Night Fever took over disco itself. I was there, and still feel the Bump and the NY Hustle in my bones. The Bee Gees legitimized every genre they explored with mastery.
When I was in my senior year in high school, 1979, one of the back up dancers from the movie, "Saturday Night Fever", came to our school and taught the gym classes how to do the dance from the movie for this song. A group of them did it one stage for an assembly. It had been released in 1977, and I saw it at the show with my boyfriend and my sister. Hearing it really brings back memories
I graduated in 79 too and I can't forget how huge this music was. My best friend and I went to see Saturday Night Fever because we knew that's where all the girls would be. And we were right!!! 😊
This is one group I’m sorry to say I never got to see live. I’ve seen many concerts over the years. Disco for the most part started around 75, and lasted to about 81. It was very heavy late 77 to 79.
I live in Brisbane. They first performed as kids just down the road from where my brother went to school. There’s a great tribute avenue walk set up there in Redcliffe in honour of them. Barry came back years ago for a visit. Saturday Night Fever came out when I was in school. Bee Gees were HUGE back then.
This song will always remind me of the movie 'Saturday Night Fever' which I saw at the cinema at that time, as a teenager. What fun it was to listen to the Bee Gees music.
Fanny Be Tender With My Love and Jive Talking are great songs to check out that were pre Saturday Night Fever. Another great one is Nights on Broadway done live on the Midnight Special in 1975 and it is fantastic.
@@TheBrownlj The live version on the Midnight Special is so much more fun than just listening to a "better quality" audio version. Just watching Mo take the high falsetto near the end is priceless to me.
@TheBrownlj That may be true, but I absolutely love this version. I really enjoy seeing the 3 of them performing this live, with Mo providing the falsetto ad libs. My favorite version.
Are you kidding me? The only videos of reactions that I watch are those that do Beegees because they’re my number one group I absolutely adore them and it’s beautiful to see the young people. Enjoy them as well.
Makes my heart smile to see younger generations loving these amazing brothers. They never disappoint. Fanny Be Tender. Nights On Broadway. Tragedy. Love You Inside Out. Jive Talkin.
Thats the Univers of the Bee Gees. Nobody can switch there Voices like the Bee Gees. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet. Please react,,paying the price of love. ❤❤❤
I started a joke, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, New York mining disaster, to love somebody, words, I've got to get a message to you, Holiday, and so many more! ❤❤ there are some old videos of them singing, and I think it would be fun for you to see more of them starting off, and then progressing into the '70s. Their sound in the '60s was totally different, but all of the music of the Bee Gees sounded great, throughout the decades!🎉Into the ''70s, Fanny Be Tender and Nights on Broadway, just before they really entered their disco phase.
“Rum To Me” is one of my non disco favorites. Barry Gibb is responsible for writing many songs with which other artists had hits. Of those, “Heartbreaker” by Dionne Warwick is pure golden ear candy.
Totally agree with you Salvog, this is THE disco song! Although their disco songs are phenomenal, I think you would love their earlier stuff, eg "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart", " Massachusets", "To Love Somebody", "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" and the list goes on ....
This song is from their disco era & was on the soundtrack for "Saturday Night Fever". I especially love their early music from the 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.
I associate the BeeHees with John Travolta, and if you watch TV right now, you’ll see John playing Santa and rocking to the BeeGees on a commercial!! Gotta love it!!
I had five older siblings so I was hearing their music from a young age. I loved their earlier songs like "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Words", "Massachusetts", "I Started A Joke", "I've Got To Get A Message To You" and "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights". So when disco began in the mid-70s, many of us felt that the Bee Gees had sold out. It wasn't that they weren't good at it but that it was so commercially exploited as a genre. It took me years to begin enjoying their disco phase. I still don't like it as well as the old stuff though.
“Fanny, Be Tender”, “Nights on Broadway”, “Jive Talkin’”, are all spectacular. For some heavenly harmonies, give “Run to Me” a listen. “Love So Right” seems to get lost among so many other fantastic songs, but it features Barry’s stunning falsetto and is a gorgeous song.
1967 To Love Somebody, 1971 How can you mend a broken heart, 1971 Lonely Days, 1975 midnight special Nights on Broadway, 1979 Love you inside out. Just to name a few. ❤❤❤love your reactions
For me, this and "If I Can't Have You" performed by Yvonne Elliman are my favorites from the Saturday Night Fever album. However, when it comes to disco songs, this is up there, but Donna Summer's "Last Dance" and Dan Hartman's "Relight My Fire" really stand head and shoulders above all else.
Night Fever is by far my favourite BeeGees track from the SFN Soundtrack - and your reaction reflects that!!! There are so many gems in the production of this song that puts it head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks for reacting!!! ♥️
I would strongly suggest you watch the Bee Gee's "One Night Only" concert from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from 1997. It's on DVD, Blu-ray, and there's an audio CD. Memorable as well for their special guest.
Both this song and the MASSIVE movie soundtrack wraps within them a whole sacred era in music history.If someone takes this out it's like having a beautiful woman without a voice ,perfume and make up.Respect to their huge influential talent Disco or not.No guilt,just respect.
It isn't really live though. Mo said they didn't do that one live as it was too difficult to do. It's lip synching on that 'live' one. The song is incredible and he should hear it if nothing else by them!
Its not live. Its just a music video. Fanny was never sung live due to the multitude of layers. They are all just lip syncing to it, whether they actually sang that bit or not. Not a very good video really.
Seems like all the songs so far have been Barry as the lead singer. 'I Started a Joke' features Robin and it's my favorite Bee Gees song. "Bee Gees - I Started A Joke (Live in Las Vegas, 1997 - One Night Only)" on RU-vid.
Sal you really need to hear more of their non-disco songs, like from the 60s and 70s before the Saturday Night Fever movie/soundtrack came out. They have some amazing songs that will blow you away. And later songs too. They were FAR more than Barry singing lead in falsetto and Robin and Mo backing up on harmonies. Robin sang lead on MANY of their songs, and had an absolutely gorgeous angelic voice. Barry had a nice baritone chest voice. Don't sell them short that they were just a disco band. Not even a little bit. I Started A Joke, Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, Words, Run To Me, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Nights on Broadway, Jive Talking, Fanny Be Tender with my Love (this is an absolute *must*), Some 90s songs like For Whom the. Bell Tolls, You Win Again, Alone. None of those are disco. Their catalog is enormous, they've probably written 1000 songs including songs for others. I've suggested Bee Gees albums before, but here on YT you would have a really big audience for all the songs listed above. Believe me, there is.a huge fan base for their pre- and post- disco fare.
I remember seeing Saturday Night Fever in the theater when it was released. It was such an iconic moment in time. If you want to visit some early Bee Gees I Started A Joke from the 60s was always a personal favorite
And if you'd like two later non-disco songs, check out Fanny (Be Tender With My Love), an exquisite ballad, and Love You Inside and Out, which is pure funk. Both are must hears.
This song has special meaning for me: In eighth grade gym class, we were learning different dances and my partner & I were really good at all of them--especially the couple hustle, which we learned to this song. We were so good, in fact, that during an assembly, we had to dance it in front of the entire school. That was so much fun. If you haven't seen the "Black people not knowing the Bee Gees Aren't Black" (SpartanBlues' poor capitalization, not mine) video, it's hilarious.
'You should be dancing" next.Also 'Nights on broadway"/'Jive talking"/'Holiday"/'How deep is your love" if you haven't done them.All unbeatable classics.
The BeeGees are a little like Queen - its hard to find a duff song in their catalogue - talent and their ability to change genres/styles means songs for all moods/occasions. But some favourites are - New York Mining Disaster, Massachusetts, Words, I started a joke, I've gotta get a message to you, How can you mend a broken heart, Jive talkin, You should be dancing, Tragedy, Too much heaven - and more recently - You win again (probably my absolute favourite). That is not an exhaustive list - but for starters. 😉. Also, check out their younger brother Andy Gibb (RIP) - shadow dancer - and for the amusement factor - see what the foofighters did in lockdown with Beegees songs - they became the Deegees for a short time 😂.
The Bee Gees music is something you never get tired of. As I get older, I love their music even more.The song "More than a woman" is a number one for me.
There is a great concert on RU-vid called One Night Only in Las Vegas. Celine Dion joins them to sing a song they wrote for her. The concert has over 30 yrs of music and includes all genres.
It's a joy watching your reactions to these guys. I'm looking forward to you checking out the earlier stuff. It's just so good,Run to me and Massachusetts.
That's amazing! Really.? I'm in Australia, so.Could be a bit of a hassle ..plus I'm a 61 year old female ..hey, while I truly appreciate that sentiment,give it to a fan or follower who would truly put it to great ,personal use.❤
Hi! First, when you "unpause" disco you'll need to listen to "You Should be Dancing " also from SNF album. Next, there were so many great songs before their "disco era". "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" and "Lonely Days" were both written after a brief split and getting back together in 69/70. I think that to even make a dent in their songs you might need a designated BeeGees day or maybe marathon or both!
TO LOVE SOMEBODY is the very definition of a timeless classic. You also can’t miss Barry’s signature WORDS, and Robin’s I STARTED A JOKE. To hear Maurice on lead try LAY IT ON ME or his country HOLD HER IN YOUR HAND or WILDFLOWER.
I grew up in the neighborhood in Brooklyn where Saturday Night Fever was filmed. I was a teenager when they were making the movie. Word of John Travolta sightings spread all over - and we didn't even have cellphones! Thanks for the memories!
I'm 60 and I finally watched Saturday Night Fever in the last few months, I was busy listening to rock music like Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and the Doors
Love that you love The BeeGees! Their music always lifts me up Older song suggestions “I Started a Joke” (Robin singing lead vocals). “Massachusetts”. “Run To Me”! They are all great!!
