I like your reactions 🙂This song was written by Bee Gees specifically for Otis Redding, but he tragically died in an accident before he got to record it. Bee Gees decided to record it themselves. It is no wonder you have heard it as it is one of the most covered songs in history. It was covered by Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Keith Urban, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Michael Buble and a bunch others. Remember Barry Gibb wrote 16 Billboard #1 songs. They sounded very different before the disco area and also very different after it. I would like you to react to Bee Gees - Words (Live 1979) or Bee Gees- For Whom The Bell Tolls

Barry Gibb wrote this for Otis Redding. He died before he could record it. They wrote all their own music and a ton of hits for other famous musical artists, Barbra Streisand, a bunch of others. They wrote almost all of the songs for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack without reading the script. Barry discovered by accident that he could sing Falsetto. Barry Gibb is only 2nd to Paul McCartney in writing. He’s 22 here and the twins are 18. Listen to some of their early stuff from the 1960s. They were performing professionally since they were little kids. No stage parents. They loved it. Barry wrote hits for baby brother Andy. There’s a great documentary on The Bee Gees on HBOMAX right now. It’s really worth your time. They were early Blue-eyed Soul. Barry is the eldest and the last living of the four brothers. He has an older sister. Thanks for sharing this. That song is 45 years old. Made it to the top 20 in US. Not sure if it made it to top 10. It’s Barry’s favorite song he wrote.

And don't forget Barry just came out with a compilation album where he sings song from The Bee Gees library with mainly country artists called Greenfields, Volume 1.

One of my favourite Bee Gees songs was also one of their first; 'New York Mining Disaster 1941'. Being a young 14 year old in a rural part of England the title and subject matter always fascinated me. It was a long time before I found out the true inspiration for the song.

This is what they became famous. In the 70s when this style faded, they moved to Miami to work with new producer. He kept telling them a new era in music was coming. Then they were approached to do the movie. They actually wrote all the songs before they saw the movie.

Run to me was the first of their songs that I went out and bought and I still think that it's one of their best. I wasn't crazy about the change over to disco, SNF specifically but later on, I feel like they found a happy balance between their previous styles, on songs like Too much heaven, For whom the bell tolls etc, .

I have a playlist of about 40 beegee songs and I never notice a change in their sound much. Mostly cause their vocals are the consistent factor in all their music. Its incredibly distinct. They were always soulful & thats what shines through whichever era you focus on. The songs were always strong.

Jamel, They wrote this for Otis Redding, their favorite singer at that time but 3 months later he died and never got to record it. That would have been awesome but they recorded it and it became a classic. It has been covered over 200 times! You need to react to to 2 more versions:1) Keith Urban's rendition performed at the Music Hall of Fame's honor night to the BeeGee's. You will be blown away with his rendition. then 2) catch Janis Joplins rendition that she performed on the Dick Cavett show. You will be blown away. Thanks!

Not only did they write most of their own material but they also wrote songs for a wide variety of other artists. So gifted, these three, as was poor Andy, the baby of the family, who died so young. Jamel, I don't think you've listened to anything by Andy Gibb yet. He had his own solo career though he occasionally sang with his big brothers. Try "I just want to be your everything" or "Shadow dancing." Andy looks exactly like the young Barry and sounds like him too. Barry was quoted as saying, "Andy is my 12-years younger twin."
