Bee Gees - Run To Me (1972) | REACTION 

He was so modest. They all were great solo singers but, yes, they were magical and incomparable together. And that was just singing. They were phenomenal composers and song writers

Beatles cannot do this

Totally agree

Fully agree! Bee Gees head above all other overrated groups like Beatles and etc.

I think so too 👍🏻 their back catalogue of songs is so extensive 👍🏻 great band ♥️

lmao not in this lifetime

Well said 👍❣️

Robin, Barry, and Maurice knew that they were GREAT, TOGETHER!

So good to watch too

His voice is perfect in any style he sings in and yes he is so pleasing to look at. I love his beautiful face, kind expressive eyes, gorgeous smile, long flowing hair , sexy body ,amazing voice and his big beautiful heart. He's just perfect.🥰🥰🥰

I can’t imagine the pain they felt,losing him.😪💕

Mo has joked many times about this song as the man in the middle because he was sometimes the peace maker. But if you listen his solo of Closer Than Close you can find his attempt to save his marriage because of his alcoholism.

Barry and Robin used to get into disagreements and Mo always tried his best to keep the peace between them.

Perfectly said!!!

I agree!! Each brother had his own special gifts. The three of them together was so much greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Miriam Kirk - @ 1:40 is a perfect example of what you said. Two amazing lead singers, Barry softer and bluesy, Robin powerful and soulful and the Maurice comes in with the perfect harmony and piano to make the magic complete. At times their voices could be indistinguishable when they sang together as only sibling genetics can do and all three could switch from tenor to baritone to falsetto. A Robin girl here but I know the magic was when the three brothers blended.

@@susieq9801 yes you describe Barry's and Robin's voices to a tee. Robin's wife describes his voice as ethereal and angelic especially when she would wake in the middle of the night and hear him putting ideas for a new song on paper that had just come to him. It's all in the blend, as you say. I love what each of them bring to the group but if a gun was held to my head and I had to choose my favourite it would definately be Maurice!! :)

@@miriamkirk7293 - Everyone is allowed their favorite. :) I liked Robin for his eccentricity and wit. Could you imagine waking up to that voice in the night, especially in an 800 year old monastery!!!!

@@susieq9801 That would absolutely be 'Too much Heaven'! :)

A lot of people don't know that Robin didn't play an instrument on stage except in a few videos but he could play the piano, organ, melotron , guitar and other instruments. He and his son RJ Gibb wrote the Titanic Requiem but Robin was unable to go to the premiere because he was too sick.

@@cynthiadaves1933 - His voice was the only instrument he needed.

That's true Robin's voice was all of the instrument he needed.

Always.❤️🇬🇧

Patty-I once heard an individual state that Robin could sing in any genre. He definitely nailed the "Blue Eyed Soul" part. I also read in an article that evaluated Robin's vocal range and said that he was close to an operatic vocal range. Can you imagine?

Robin has a few solo albums some of which made the top 40. I think he had one bomb that didn't go anyway but songs like Juliet are very much the sound that Robin gave to the Bee Gees.

Sibling rivalry at its best!

There’s also the Cousins Gibb 😊

I agree l must have heard that song a thousand times with the crescendo at the end it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I smile when I hear that song just beautiful 😍

Oh yeah ! he sings the pain

They agreed as a group who would do what for each song. When Maurice was going through his alcoholism, he was not good for much of anything.

Agree to all three . Brilliant songs

Gorgeous song

YES

Me too,since I was about 14 yrs old in 1966,which makes it over 50 yrs.Love them.

Maurice chose the songs he wanted to sing. He did not want to be a lead singer. He loved what he was doing with the instrumental arrangements and creating different sounds. After he became a full fledged alcoholic Mautice could no longer fulfill his role in the group. He could no longer play the bass. He managed to beat the alcoholism by going into recovery after he threatened his family with a gun one evening. Yvonne and the kids fled their home, and Barry and Linda took them in. He went into AA residential treatment immediately and lived away from home until he completed the program. Maurice remained a member of AA the rest of his life, and assisted in the treatment of other members. He and Yvonne renewed their wedding vows after Maurice successfully completed treatment All the brothers were made of strong character. That is one of the reasons I loved them! When people say negative things about one of them, it hurts all 3 of them. They have been through so much as musical artists and in their personal lives. The Bee Gees were constantly fighting off criticism and making come backs. They were not perfect.. Yes there was resentment between them at times. The Gibb Family suffered immense personal tragedy with the loss of Andy. They managed to overcome their personal demons. They were brothers first and foremost!

@@laurieshreffler5028 ...We all know that. What’s your point? It’s not okay to recommend songs Maurice sang.

Totally agree ❣️

They had solo projects, and they might collaborate on those but the three together were The Bee Gees. I believe I heard in an interview that Robin and Barry agreed to wait for Maurice when he went to rehab to show support and because of that very fact. ❤️

@@cindyknudson2715 Actually, they did wait, but told him he no longer had a job, their version of tough love.

I think I have read somewhere that they even wrote 1.000 songs. Correct me if I am wrong.

@@bonitavanderwal2712 Yes they have! I read not too long ago that Barry sold their music catalog for $150 million.

@@dortheyc5276 Thanks, didn't know Barry sold their catalog.

Hello and thanks for your suggestion. I have reacted to this gem! Click my channel link below to watch: ru-vid.com

@@hereonthe3L - I am SOOO glad you pointed out the value of all three. Too often Barry is considered the leader and "star" to the detriment of the twins because he looks like one. He certainly deserves recognition for his song writing, singing and producing abilities but was always pushed by record companies and their father for his looks. He was a natural front man and a perfectionist. His voice was bluesy and great for pop and R&B. By contrast, I remember some reviewers made fun of Robin's buck teeth and said he looked like a "gopher". Even their dad, hopefully jokingly, at one time said he sounded like a bleating sheep! Them's fightin' words! Maurice was often just ignored. I was a Robin girl simply because the first song I heard by them in 1967 was with him singing lead (I was born the same day and year, 1949, as the twins, my sole claim to fame) and I was an instant fan. I was charmed by his shy eccentric personality, rapier wit in interviews and extreme intelligence. He also was a bit of an awkward klutz (adorkable as someone else described) and his brothers advised him it was best not to "dance" on stage, LOL. He was a genius with amazing knowledge, especially in history and was President of The British Heritage society for years. I label his voice as ethereal from the heart and soul, a natural balladeer. If you want an amazing performance listen to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jAfhF4oKvwk.html where he sang "Somewhere" from "West Side Story". He was only SIXTEEN and his voice recently broke so he did it for a lark to a backing track in their producer's office. Barry was a composer, likely as a fetus, but the other two particularly Robin, caught up and did several great solo albums, often produced by Maurice. All three polished off the finished product for Bee Gees songs and all are usually credited. Maurice was the harmonizer, instrumentalist and glue that held together the harmonies (and sometimes the feuding Barry and Robin) and was a joker on stage. All three had great falsettos and range. To pick favorites is really unfair....although I just did, LOL. :) The Bee Gees, IMO died with Maurice and half of Robin died with his twin. The were three...PERIOD! Great reaction. Cheers.

@@susieq9801 love this 🙂 Three amazingly gifted individuals whose talents, collaboration, determination and love have touched so many. Thank you for your comment. ❤️

@@cindyknudson2715 Their Dad pushed them really hard after he discovered they could sing. He called Robin a Nanny Goat. I have this feeling that Barry may have experienced abuse at the hands of his Dad. Hugh pushed them so hard, letting them perform in questionable places like speedways, strip clubs, and RSL clubs. They were exposed to things young boys should never have been exposed to. They ran pretty much unsupervised. I think that may have had a negative impact on their development.Their parents allowed them to quit school at a young age. They spent their days lighting fires and shoplifting. Hugh was away alot trying to find work. it was up to Barbara acting as a single parent to handle a daughter, 3 young boys, and baby Andy on her own.l know it was a different time but still,,,When they first arrived in Australia Barry had to live with his Dad while his other siblings stayed with their mom and other family members. Barry does not have fond memories of that time. He could not understand why he was isolated from the others, living with his Dad This seriously impacted Barry. .I think the music was a form of escape for Barry, Robin, and Maurice but still,,,,. It was definitely an escape from a life of crime!!!

@@susieq9801 A composer as a foetus? That made me chuckle! Oh and 'Somewhere' just blows me away!

Yes it takes all 3 of them to become the most gem superb band

Agree in all facts! And yes, 'Seven Seas Symphony' out of Odessa, Mo on Piano, that's a wonderful idea to check out.

Yes and the album includes the excellent 'Lamplight' sung by Robin. In fact this song triggered the first split in the band when the producers and Barry went for 'The First of May as the albums single release. Cheers.
