Fun Fact: In Germany Massachusetts was not only 12 weeks #1 - it is still today their biggest hit ever with mindblowing eight times gold and double platinum, the fifth best selling single of all time more than 2 million singles. Not a Beatles, Boney M or ABBA tune sold so much units like this all time classic.
The next Bee Gees video. You react to needs to be “You Should Be Dancing’” in Los Angeles. It has their brother Andy on stage, singing with them. The 4 of them together are so special! Yes, Andy is as good as his brothers.❤
@@SaeedReacts.Andy's first three releases hit number one. Please react to Andy Gibb on the Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. This was his first number one.
@@SaeedReacts. Barry also explained that its meaning represented the end of flower power and that all things change, move on and come to an end. It's also worth noting that their elder sister Lesley was also a singer and joined the group briefly when Robin left for a short period.
Dad was a drummer with a 30 piece band and Mom was a band vocalist. All 5 kids can sing. Big sister chose not to follow that career. Another great reaction. You would enjoy both the medley from this 1989 Melbourne concert but also Words from it too. ❤
They have a older sister, Lesley. She also could sing (She briefly stepped in as a singer when Robin left the band for more than a year, but she didn't want to be a singer. She married in Australia, had 8 (or more) children, has a dog breeder and is still alive!
Yes…do some from Andy Gibb too. Barry kind of nurtured him as well with writing, producing, playing guitar, and singing background on most of Andy’s hits.
You're right. They migrated to Australia when they were kids. They formed the band and called them Bee Gees in the town of Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia.
When they wrote this song, they had never been to Massachusetts. They have an older sister Leslie.With little experience, other than three weeks of intense rehearsals, Lesley joined her brothers on stage. "It was amazing. I loved it ... but it wasn't for me. I had my twins to get back to and Robin came back soon after," she said.
Their younger brother Andy was like a younger looking Barry Gibb....sadly died at a young age and had a similar sound as his brothers....he did a few shows with his brothers....but was a solo performer....
Most unique voices I’ve ever heard. They dominated the late 60s up through the 70s with their sound. Saturday Night Fever was such a smash hit. You couldn’t get away from it. Barry did some outstanding work with Barbra Streisand in the 80’s. They were all talented. Andy was becoming a big talent but the drugs did him in. More great music from my youth.
Love The Bee Gee's early music especially 60's-70's. Robin Gibb takes the lead on this great song. It was originally released in 1967. Some of their other early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
Oh my goodness , you will never go wrong with the Bee Gees. From their first appearance on tv in the late 50 s right through to the 2000s with over 1000 songs all written by them. The live performances are great. I will Fanny be Tender and For Whom the Bells Toll are among my favourites but first try Time is Passing By . Yhanks for you reaction 😊
This song was a favorite back in the 1960s. I later moved to Boston MA for four of best years of my life. Their music was so heartfelt and then they went disco.
Sweet song talking about the hippy movement and wanting something more but being pulled back home. Your reactions are solid. Well thought out and smart. They had hits for over 40 years. Two of their later ones is I could not love you more and For Whom the Bell Tolls.. Stunning!
After achieving some chart success in Australia, they returned home to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in 1967 ,where music producers Robert Stigwood, began promoting them worldwide, The music scene was blowing up in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 so many phenomenal artists and bands exploded into the limelight and also the invasion of America began,bee gees sensed the United Kingdom was the place to be, they had a hit record called ( New York Mining Disaster 1941 ) the rest is history,Bee gees once in a lifetime talent, great reaction thanks 🙏
Thanks, Steve! Appreciate that! Thats awesome. Probably a lot different i imagine. And that pretty far removed from eachother, right? Well for me as a Belgian these distances our far. In less than 3 hours time we drive across the country 😅
Saeed, the one song you need to react to by the Bee Gees, is their #1 Disco Hit, "Stayin Alive." We would hit the roller rinks every weekend and skate to that song and other Bee Gees songs.....we all had our little skater suites....I even had pom poms on top of my skates.....we were 15 years old ! What a wonderful time !
Thats one i ofcourse know, but maybe only the chorus. I really need to sit down and listen to the verses as well. Thanks so much for sharing that story.
They had an older sister Lesley who used to sing with the brothers as well, she still lives in Australia. Andy had a beautiful voice he sounded and looked like Barry, he was very successful too but passed away at 30 years old of a heart condition brought on by drug use, poor Andy he paid the price of fame, very sad. He was supposed to join his brothers for the "One" album but didn't make it.
Although I adore the older classic Bee Gees tracks, the albums 'E.S.P', and 'One' are undoubtedly my favourites. It is as though they reached up into Style Heaven and found all the best lyrics and melodies. 'One' Title Track ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KRUeMgzOCCo.html ...Gorgeous, with a killer bass line.❤
Yes, there was actually 5 kids (Lesley, Barry, Robin, Maurice, and Andy) that could all sing!! Lesley’s daughter, Bernice (Beri) can also sing. Barry’s son Stephen is in a heavy metal band, sings and plays guitar, another one of Barry’s sons Ashley is a songwriter and has collaborated with Barry and Stephen. Another son of Barry was named after his Godfather Michael Jackson. Spencer, one of Robin’s sons, also sings and has a solo career. He sounds like his father! Robin-John (RJ), another one of Robin’s sons, also sings and acts. Adam and Samantha, both of Maurice’s children, also sing. Sami joined Stephen on stage to sing with Barry. Peta, Andy’s daughter, can also sing. Adam Gibb, Beri Gibb-Rhoades, Peta Gibb, RJ Gibb, Samantha Gibb, Spencer Gibb, Stephen Gibb, and Travis Gibb are in a group called The Gibb Collective. They have covered some of their father’s songs!
@@SaeedReacts. you should check out some Andy videos. Shadow Dancing Our love (don’t throw it all away) (Bee Gees did a tribute to Andy live with this song) Desire Everlasting love (This is on his headstone) Fool for a night (Peta does a cover of this song) The Gibb Collective has a video of their cover of Please Don’t Turn Out the Lights. Spencer has a very haunting sound in his song Empty Room. But he also sounds like his dad in it. Sami has several videos of her own songs. Another wild fact: they have passed away in reverse order (youngest to oldest)
Alone is more complex with multiple harmonies (as are many of their more than a 1000 songs) and also For Whom The Bell Tolls should also appeal to you.
@@SaeedReacts. Another suggestion, currently my favorite showing them recording Kiss of Life in the studio. It is an amazing all round song show their versatility and harmonies. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MWwrHhElI60.html
@@SaeedReacts. Here is a link to them singing on television when they were 19 and 16 years old. One of my favorite early Bee Gees songs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-10TZf8OnsyA.html
Songs featuring more of Robin. I Can't See Nobody. And The Sun Will Shine. I Started A Joke. For Whom The Bell Tolls. I've Got To Get A Message To You. My World. Mr Natural. Kiss Of Life. When He's Gone. Tokyo Nights. Juliet. Bodyguard.
