Thank you Jamel. I know I’ve asked before, but if you ever have the time, it would make my day to see you react to “You Keep Me Hanging On” by Vanilla Fudge. The church organ and soul will make you dance. Blessings to you sir. You are a blessing to all of us! The live version is the best.
@@4055590 I'd never heard that, so I googled it. I found several results that say it helps you keep the proper rate when giving CPR. But in response to your comment, according to Wikipedia (not the best source, I know): "Due to the death of backing drummer Dennis Byron's mother in the middle of the song's sessions, the group first looked for a replacement. The shortage of qualified drummers in the area prompted the group to try a drum machine, but it did not offer satisfactory results. After listening to the drum track of the already-recorded "Night Fever", the group and producer Albhy Galuten took two bars from that track, rerecorded them as a recurrent loop on a separate tape, and proceeded with sessions for "Stayin' Alive". This accounts for the unchanging rhythm throughout the song. As a joke, the group listed the drummer as "Bernard Lupe" (a takeoff on session drummer Bernhard Purdie). Mr. Lupe became a highly sought-after drummer-until it was discovered that he did not exist." It also said they wrote the song while "sprawled on the staircase at the Château d'Herouville studio near Paris." Nowhere could I find anything on any website about them walking first then matching the music to it. 🤷🏼♀️😊
I consider it having all gone wrong then. Crash your bike enough times because your bell bottoms got caught in your bike chains and you learn to A. carry rubber bands to reign them in and B. despise bell bottoms with a fiery passion. But that might just be me.
Bee Gees are one of the greatest brother groups...their harmonies are superb and each was a gifted musician......so much talent in one family. Sad that only Barry Gibb survives...but their music is 'timeless'!!
Brother Jamel, what you need to know is that this video was made BEFORE MTV hit the airwaves. It’s a promotional video made by record executives to get in front of radio executives so they’d give the song some airplay!😎
@@hectorsmommy1717 unfortunately, they will now always be known as a “disco band”. It made them so upset when people were burning their albums when disco (literally) went up in flames🔥
I was huge fan of the Bee Gees before the disco craze. Used to wear out my old 8-track tapes playing their stuff. Too bad disco is all for which they seem to be remembered. They were always reinventing themselves, and were great at it.
Bee Gee's were one of the most underrated band of the 1970's, while being one of the most listened to. Great songs, Great performances. Amazing musical family generation. Again, my favorite was Maurice, probably the most talented musician of them all. But who doesn't love Barry's hair? and falsetto?
They were hardly underrated...having 5 songs in the Top 10 for several weeks not to mention all the songs they wrote for other artist. I lived in that era and let me tell you they were extremely Popular.
They may have been popular, but the critics and people who didn't like rhythmic music thought they were fluff. In the UK, people like Kenny Everett made fun of them on their TV shows, and there was a group called the HeeBeeGeeBees that made fun of them with a song called "Meaningless Songs in High-pitched Voices". They had the money and fans, but no respect from their peers because they weren't deep like Bob Dylan, or some stupid arbitrary shit.

If you have HBO, they just released a documentary about the Bee Gees called How Do You Mend a Broken Heart. It's really good. They spend a lot of time talking about the film and their songs for it. The crazy thing is the film was based on a magazine article about suburban white people going downtown on Saturday nights to the discos. While they were filming it they weren't sure what the title was gonna be. But the Bee Gees manager was producing the film so he called them about doing some music for it. Well, they were literally working on a new album and the first song they had finished was called Night Fever. Their manager thought that sounded a little too sexy for a film title so he said "Well, it's about Saturday nights, so we'll call it Saturday Night Fever." We were getting these amazing songs whether there was a film or not because they wrote them without ever having read the script.
He did some of the Bee Gees already and I believe he did the songs you just mentioned. If you are do a search you can find out which Bee Gees songs Jamal has done
Good Lord, this song was a monster hit when it came out. I was in freshmen year of college and remember it like it was yesterday. What a year that was....More Than A feeling by Boston in fall '76, then this by the Bee Gees followed not long thereafter, with Rocky in the mix as well!
Jamel, you gotta make shirt with your animated face on it and with a caption that says "We ain't gonna waste no more time...let's jump right in to it!" Iconic.
Back when Barry looked good! Whoot! And it's also very good to stay in the light, too...especially now. You can't help but start strutting when you hear this song.
Just to add some song info; Islands in the Stream was written by the Bee Gees, originally in an R&B style, intended for someone else, but not recorded (Maurice said it was for Marvin Gaye, Barry said for Dianna Ross). When Barry was co-producing Kenny’s album, they reworked it for Kenny. After 3 days of singing it, Kenny decided he didn’t like it. Barry said it needed Dolly Parton, who neither of them knew well & didn’t even know if she was in CA (she lives in TN). Kenny’s manager was in the room, said he’d seen her earlier that day & had her #. She was called & to everyone’s surprise, came right over (Kenny said within an hour). Kenny said, “she came marching into the room, & once she came in & started singing, the song was never the same. It took on a personality of its own.” It hit #1 on 3 charts (Hot 100, Country & Contemporary), was Certified Platinum & in 2005 topped CMT's poll of best country duets of all time, plus it began Kenny & Dolly’s lifelong friendship. Not bad for 1 song.
Hey Jamel, Just found out about you and been watching content from both of your channels. Thanks for the great content sir and as a new subscriber, I'll be looking forward to the next video 👍
I was only 3 in December of 1977. At first, I thought they're black. but, turns out. These brothers know how to kick some funk with a mixture of pop and soul.
please give their song "To love somebody" a listen and reaction. one of my favorite songs ever. The great Nina Simone covered this song, which is truly saying something...
OH it was all about that style of dress in the 70's!! I literally grew up with Neil Diamond, Bee Gees, Barry Manilow...all ICONIC performers that have been thrown down for over 50 years!!! HELLZ YEAH!!!
The BeeGees aka Brothers Gibbs were known for their great disco days music. From the youngest to the oldest Andy, Robin, Maurice & Barry. Their music just made everyone move or dance. Sadly everyone has past away but Barry is still alive & still kicking it.
Disco really never went away; it is simply feel-good dance music. As for the Bee Gees, they were producing hits at the same time as the Beatles and they wrote and sang all their songs. Simply a talented and class act to the end.
"because I know this song." ... My brother, it's Stayin' Alive. /EVERYONE/ knows this song if they're older then 10. It'll never stop people from enjoying both it and reactions to the same.
The Bee Gees released Saturday Night Fever when I was a senior in high school. It's hard to put to words just how fast this music and movie launched like a rocket ship into the stratosphere. It was crazy !
I'm going to be strutting down the street just like that after getting the COVID 19 vaccine. Be also singing "Stayin Alive...Stayin Alive..." (Seems appropriate).
The Brothers Gibb are the most successful songwriters of all time. Over 100 songs to reach the top-10 one way or another, some of them multiple times as covers or samples, and quite a few songs written specifically for other artists like Kenny Rogers, Barbara Streisand and Diana Ross...
One of greatest opening sequences in movie history IMO . The Godfather being the greatest ever. Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta just walking down the street with that bucket of paint stepping with all confidence and “Staying Alive” booming from the movie screen. Saw it with my sisters. Thought they were going to jump up and start dancing. Many girls did.
They started a whole thing with their music. People said disco was bad but there is some wonderful music in these days and the Bee Gees had a lot to do with it. Still have copies of these. And you know, disco never really died, its still around.
When I hear this song I can’t help but recall the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta strutting yes, strutting down the NYC street. Classic.
I LOVE this song so much. How could you not. Its an Anthem for this horrible year. We are all just trying to stay alive. 👍🙏. Wether your a brother or Wether your a mother your staying alive. Thank you. 🎶😁
The Bee Gees OWNED the 70s!! If you were around at that time so many images pop into your head of those times when you hear the Bee Gees sing almost anything!
Bee Gees 💞😎🕺🔥💃I love the disco Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees, but you should check out some of their earlier stuff from the 60s. They made such great music for decades. Have a fabulous day Jamel 😊
I do know from a documentary that their dad would always stand in the back making sure they always smiled from the time they were young, love the Bee Gee's
The Bee Gees are timeless. Totally love them. A lot of music I heard growing up didn't realise they were covers of Bee Gees original music. So much talent.
Jamel did you ever do a reaction to their song For Whom The Bells Toll. It is a beautiful song. The video of them in New York singing outside is a great video.
