First Ever Hearing Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven (Reaction!!) 

Others who are white are Righteous Brothers. See Soul and Inspiration, Sunnertime, I Want to Make Love to You and others. They were called Blue Eyed Soul. Also Bobby Caldwell What You Won’t Do for Love…

Appreciate you sharing this I agree with you %100 The Bee Gees were the real deal as they come and nobody can take that from them they were one of a kind unique in that Era as Elvis was to his! Thank you respectfully be safe🙏✌️🤜🤛

They were one of my favorite singers in my Era. You should read about their history, it is very interesting.. They were all beautiful people. Thank you for the memories. ❤

You can hear The Stylistics as an influence

You might wanna watch the 1977 Movie "Saturday night fever" The bee gees did the sound track. Awesome classic stuff !

You have great taste sir or ma’am(just realized I’m not sure by you screen name)!

I consider your music taste amazing, and honor your 93 years. Blessings sir or ma'am ( not sure).

😊 i’m just a 67 yr old pup sir, but i absolutely agree with you‼️

I am 76 and you must remember the 50s-60s songs leading up to the Beatles.

You really wanna her a 70’s white band with Swagger! Do a reaction video on “ Average White Band” yes, that’s actually the name of the Band. Title track “A love of your Own” your listeners will be blown away!!!

Agree, there is not another group, or solo artist that can top their voice, and too much heaven is a ballad you can sing over and over again, and not get tired of.

Add “You Should be Dancing” to the list!

And also how about "Nights On Broadway", which was later sampled in a track by DMX. A personal favorite. Bee Gees are the truth.

SAME!! Since I first heard them in the 70s.

The best

Indeed I agree. Love watching the reactions of people hearing music for the first time what we grew up with

60s n 70s was better.. 😂

We really had it good

YES…too late😢❤. I’m pure 70’s

No kidding.

The bee gees were born in the Isle of Man before moving to chorlton in Manchester England then the family emigrated to Australia

And the 4th, unofficial BeeGee. Barry sings with his brothers kids now

The Bee Gees wrote over 1,000 songs. At one point , they outsold the Beatles..there were 4 brothers , who grew up in poverty, but they had talent , ambition and each other. Barry's signature falsetto was discovered quite by accident, and led much to the group's success. Robin had a great voice too, and Maurice was fantastic with multiple instruments. One of the greatest groups in history.

Born in the uk dude

Though being in Australia,they appeared,young as they were ,in Australian tvshows.

Yes!!! I love seeing the reactions to music and musicians that we grew up with and were not “different “ “old school “ or “OG” so fun to see it be brand new and not from this time! Haha so good!

Voices like butter with all the perfect spices! Comfort and inspiration! Ahhhhh

I'm with you @aquarius....it makes it seem new to see younger folks discover the same music I fell in love with years ago.

Reaction videos are great and kinda the only thing that makes me still enjoy music as much anymore. Can enjoy it for the first time again vicariously through someone else.

makes me wonder what rock they've been living under.

Yes! 💖☺️

Plus they are biological brothers and they have that special harmony that only comes from familial members raised together can have. They were a wonderful group! They also wrote and sang most all their music. So very talented. Such pure natural harmony!!! ❤

They did hit after hit after hit so there's a lot more to listen to

This is not live. They did not use auto tune but they did use overdubs. You can tell at the end because you can hear Barry singing lead while he is not doing so in the video.

This wasnt live. Still good

❤

Their youngest brother Andy sang solo and he was the first to pass away at the young age of 30…. I love love love these brothers ❤

Go to you tube and watch "Kenny Rogers Road to Sacrifice". You'll find the 2 Brothers were both s.a.c.r.f.i.c.e.d. That's what the song "I Don't Want to be Alone" was all about.😢

Maurice’s daughter, Samantha, sings with Barry some times. She has a beautiful voice, of course. Wish more people would’ve caught on to her. BeeGees all day! I dated my husband to this music in 1976-77, married July ‘77 and still kicking!! They literally wrote the soundtrack of our lives!

Only brothers could do what they did…including Andy. No one before or after has ever had their sound. I know my world would not have been the same without their music. It’s impossible to hear them sing especially their love ballads without them touching your soul

Yep!! I was there, a Mom of 2 dancing to their music as I did housework, it always went faster! Try vacuuming to their best, great exercise, I still exercise to that music by dancing! Regular exercise is soooo boring!!!!😜😁🥰🌹🇺🇸

I was brand new to the USNavy and was exploring alternative music in 78...lots of Mexican radio out of Baja California ska..reggae and a lil 2tone💫.. i listened to motown as a middle schooler....js

WOW thanks for that bit of information.

Yeah, I think it was around this time that I officially got tired of the BeeGees, they were everywhere. Yes, when mainstream radio jams this into your ears nonstop this can indeed happen. I was currently having a love affair with Led Zepplin and these guys were just so bubble gum pop we used to say.

Don't forget there was another talented Gibb brother who wasn't very active with the Bee Gees but was also popular... Andy.

They did plenty of editing and retakes. :) There are at least two of each of them tracked in each song. They are insane to listen to. And thank god no auto tune. Yuck! ;)

I love The Bee Gees. They are awesome live. But this was lip syncing to the recorded version. That was common for variety shows back at that time, circa 1979.

How the trill at the end of each line is PERFECTLY synced, incredible.

Right? Just raw talent.

Yeah, they never had to lip sync at any performance. Love them.

Watched it yesterday! It was amazing to learn they didn’t know about their falsetto capabilities until working with Arif Mardin in the mid seventies!😮

Their only sister is still alive as well!❤

I grew up in the 70’s listening to them and Andy as well. ❤❤❤❤

❤ Yes.. that biopic is fantastic. Highly recommend it.

Their 60s music is so beautiful.

If this is important for you, we do have a mountain to climb now. It's not going to be very much fun. ❤️❤️

I feel bad for the young ones. They don't get to grow up with the magic that the bee gees had

I'm in my early 40s and I grew up listening to this music so when people say they've never heard of the BeeGees, I'm just completely shocked. I love all their music. Their voices are one of a kind that no one will ever be able to duplicate. They're legends!

Ditto.

I'm also 66 years young like you, Kathy. The 1970s to me, had the very best music of all time. I grew up with disco and rock and thanks to alcohol I was able and more than willing to dance the night away. IMHO, the Bee Gees are without any doubt THE BEST. Second place is another Brit, Elton John. When I'm depressed, just listening to the Bee Gees takes all of my worries away. Disco. More precisely, 1970s disco. When I tell people what my favorite music is they sometimes roll their eyes and ask, "wait, really"? LOL. Just because I was an Iowa farm boy in no way, shape or form meant that I liked eew, country music! I absolutely can't stand any of it to this day. BTW, I'll be sober 27 years this July.

I'm with you, lady!

Late nights with my Girl slow dancing under the stars to this music. So long long ago but just like last night in my mind.

I got to grow up with all the greatest music from the 50's, 60's 70's, etc., etc. At 81, I am still enjoying the music.

Me, too!! The BeeGees were such a huge part of my childhood. They were incredible!

Agreed. Music back then was so much sweeter and gentler. So much music now is violent and degrading to women.

In the mid-70s these guys were IT. I think at one point they had 4 of the top 5 on the charts. And then their younger brother, Andy, became huge.

That flame will never die.

Me too still do listen to their concerts and music on cd and iPad a lot of their music in movies as we’ll absolutely awesome

Me 2

Me too! My kids listen to them also and know how high I regard them.

I listened to them b4 they did Disco

The new generation has killed music. Now they talk. Don't hold a note..doest make sense bring the oldies

Falsetto harmony! They were amazing

Andy too! All four of their voices blended perfectly in harmony!

The falsetto is hard for any man...years to master. Pure magic 🤞 🎩 🪄

I feel for Barry. He was the oldest and outlived his younger brothers. I saw an interview where he cried. It was really sad.

@@jeannefoster6643I feel for him too. What a man and a true legend!

@@jeannefoster6643 Yes, it was a beautiful interview and was just after Robin had passed away in 2012 so it was still really raw. I guess this is the interview you are talking about? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HxkSNV7HtYM.html

The Osmonds could also harmonize perfectly! And there was more of them!

I'm 73, white woman and agree with your comment 💞

You almost can't pick a BAD BeeGees song because they're guaranteed to have good melodies and harmonies regardless. I recently learned that "Jive Talkin'" was a comeback hit for them -- disco had become all the rage and people wanted dance music more that the tender ballads they were known for. They were trying to come up with a new album and maybe a new sound or style while in Miami. They kept driving across Biscayne Bay on the I-95 bridge, and somebody noticed the car made a strange rhythmic sound and joked, "That's just our drive talkin'." They turned that sound into the rhythm and bass line of the song. They retooled the lyrics and wound up with their first #1 hit since "More Than a Woman," and it gave them a push into their disco sound, where they obviously thrived.

They also wrote "Immortality" , covered by Celine Dion & "Emotion" , covered by Samantha Sang.

They were a miracle of music.....

Destiny's Child did bee gees song cover of the song Emotions

i grew up listening to them and fell in love with the movies that their songs were in. It broke my heart when the youngest brother passed away. I love their voices. I was so young back then maybe eight or nine years old. So nostalgic, brings tears to my eyes

No, Andy wasn't at the height of his career when he died. He was struggling to make a come back when he died. Andy's career height was when he was 18-22 years old. He died at 30, broke, living in Robin's house.

It is a mysterious fact of life that neither great talent nor great weath make your personal life ok. But they brought us together in musical bliss. That's gotta count for something!!!

Still blame Victoria Principal for causing his heartbreak.. j/k 😢

They are not English born. They are from isle of man, which are referred as manx

So sad about their deaths. I was devastated as a teen when Andy died. They are the soundtrack of my youth. So gentle, so rich.

I grew up on the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb. I'm a 59 year old woman and I still love me some Brother Gibb music❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@leecarter4946 100% not English. Isle of Mann.

The family is English, but their mum and dad moved to the Isle of Man for a while and that's where they were born before coming back to Manchester in England. They later moved to Australia for a while, when Barry, the eldest was 12 in 1958, and then came home to England as their careers took off in 1967 when Barry was 21. In 1975 they moves to the US to work on an album in Miami. They then years later took US citizenship, but retaining UK citizenship and keeping homes in both the USA and UK.

Agreed 💯

They did very well in the 60s, too! Some of their best hits were from their first two albums. Words, I Can't See Nobody, and To Love Somebody.

Well, you completely missed the 60's which many of their greatest songs come from!

It blows my mind who they wrote for.!!! Hopefully he'll find out.!!! And they blow his mind.!!!

@@donnahilton471 I Started a Joke, too!!!

They got ridiculed by the jealous ones that couldn't stand the BeeGee's being up there in the stratosphere and out of their reach!!!

Check out Saturday Night Fever.

Are you suggesting how genomes follow voices? Of course that's what is happening. All is well.

Also French group called Gibbson Brothers are all brothers with a song called Cuba

Look up 4th impact it’s 4 Filipina sisters , queens of harmony 👸

Robin and Maurice were also twins.

That sibling harmony is unbeatable. ❤️

Facts! 😊

He got to look like that AND sound like that? I'm not bitter. 😅

​@justinmitchell2164 not bitter....lol😂

Indeed!

Was just about to say the same.

4 brothers, but only 3 in the group Bee Gees. Except on some tracks or appearances usually billed as something special with Andy.

@@theConquerersMama Andy did sing with them a few times and then went on to his solo career

@@jeniferfrederick4874 originally 3 - Barry, Robin and Maurice.....Andy was about to join them but he died.

The main singer still makes music. His brothers have all passed away. His family and brother’s families live in Miami and England! He may grant you a interview. He loves that their music went on and is still going! ♥️♥️🙏🏼♥️♥️

I am 72 yrs old and grew up listening to the BeeGees along with others but they were so good!! I know Barry misses his brothers but glad he has kept on singing!!!

Mccusker

Never. Again 4 eve !

Thx for mentioning 432.

Same...my Andy!!!

I thought the same thing. He actually made me very happy because his comments are actually genuine and authentic, kind and his reactions to music are priceless ❤.

I still love that movie too❤

me too

And me. I’m seeing them with new eyes (and ears).

I am 68 from Greece and we danced to their songs in parties!

@@tassia1954 I am 60 and yes sister! I did it too!

Amen 🙏🌺🌺

I forgot about that. I watched a documentary on them a while back pure joy to listen to them

They were brilliant, creative, innovative and so talented. They lived in Australia for some time in their youth and they have been memorialised in their home town in Brisbane. They evolved and shared and their music is so different and is instantly recognisable. Barry must be sad that he is the only one left. I have listened to them since my childhood in the 1960’s . What brilliant musicians, singers, songwriters. Can’t think of anyone offhand that has been as creative as them

Same here at 76 years old, and he presents the music very feeling and from the heart of the soul.😊

Mine too! The very first song I played when I brought home my Bang & Olufsen sound system was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Spectacular.

That’s so sad! Poor guy misses his brothers. What an incredible family they were.

Ahhh I’m now a teenager again. Loved ‘70’s music ❤❤

The 70’s was magical for music of every genre,and in my opinion,the very best decade of them all. What a time to be young.

Sorry for your loss. I never knew a relationship that would make my world be cold and grey when he was gone. I’m not sure what the bigger loss is. ❤️

Andy had multiple hits of his own

I have the same story! Loved The Bee Gees but Andy…oh my.

I was mad at Victoria , when she started dating Andy lol 😆
