The dancer is the fab actor John Travolta., You may know him from Pulp Fiction and it's a clip from the film Saturday Night Fever...pretty sure you'd love it, it's iconic now and was huge when it came out...I was 17 when the film was released...so when you see all us 'oldies' milling about and not give us a second glance, just remember that it was our generation that was getting down to disco, prog rock, punk, goth etc and it's still in our souls, even if some of us now limp with arthritis, inside our heads we are still dancing! 😊👍🇬🇧
Just an FYI - the producers of Saturday Night Fever wanted to cut that dance sequence out. John Travolta was so upset, he went to them begging with them to PLEASE PUT IT BACK IN!! And they did.. the rest, as they say... is history!
I am 59 Years old. I graduated High school in 1982. I am so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's during a Golden Age of Music. There were so many great songs and artists from all genres. The artists would cross genres and also write songs for each other and perform together. EWe also had the oldies station that played great music from the 50; s and 60's. To answer some of your questions I danced to this song at school dances and parties. It was also played at the skating rink. everyone would get on the dancefloor, It was all about the music and having fun.
Yes, we did dance to it on a real I can't remember, but probably on the radio, listening to the top 40 count down to the number 1 after going Sunday School and Sunday dinner. Simpler time's
I'm 75 and I'm still jamming to the music of the 60's, 70's and early 80's. The music of that time made you want to sing and move with the music. There were a lot of great groups producing music.
Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive, is where you start with the the Bee Gees!!! All the brothers but, Barry, the main singer, are no longer with us, sadly. May they all RIP!!!
'You Should Be Dancing' is from an album before ' Saturday Night Fever' and got the Bee Gees their audition for SNF. That is why it is used in this dance clip from the movie.
We went to Disco's 2 or 3 times a week dancing to Disco, Soul, Motown,we let our hair down and enjoyed ourselves. for me the 60's and 70's were the best decades for music. I may now be an OAP but the music still plays in the car, in my house and I am still young in my head. You will find this out in about 40 years!! Well done lad!
Back in the 70s & 80s people didn't go to a bar unless there was a huge dance floor. Everyone danced or try to like John Travolta. I think that's why everyone was so thin. 😁😁
I was quite young when the Bee Gees were big - and they were HUGE. And then, seemingly overnight, they became a joke. I never understood it - they were so innovative and had such talent.
I think it was due to the racism and homophobia of the anti disco movement. Disco came from BIPOC gay culture! Check out Sylvester doing one of the first disco hits- You Make Me Feel Mighty Real. 😊
We were spoiled. We got used to one great song after another coming out on the radio all the time! And it was all genres. They were all great. Incredible music and lyrics!
This is a great video because it has all four Gibb brothers, the youngest Andy Gibb join them and it’s so nice seeing all four of them together! The youngest Andy Gibb died young he was only 30!
Yes yes yes!! My best friend had her wedding based on this album. All the songs on the Saturday night fever album were played and we danced all night! This album played everywhere all dances , sweet 16s, parties, bbqs it was in the air 😂 and the clothes were awesome! Leather coats, boots, suits clog hoppers omg it was amazing! Disco lights were everywhere in all the parties! We had so much fun and no worries about being shot or a fight breaking out. It was a beautiful time to be a teen. Watch Saturday night fever. The movie is really good it was a big hit in the 70s
Andy was my favorite of the brother's Gibb he was very talented in his own right. No one can take that away from him. I have a huge crush on Andy. I wasn't very happy with the way he was treated he was a solo artist. the sad part is Barry was not on good terms with Andy when he died that is the saddest part of the entire thing. Sometimes we have regrets when someone dies be kind while they are still here and not cry about things you should of done or not done to the one you profess love for. Awesome reaction.
Yes he was "THE MAN"! I'm a huge BEE GEES fan. If you react to their song called "STAYING LIVE", you'll know that song and will probably be surprised to know it's them singing it.
Loved your reaction. You would really enjoy Wind of change (1979), Spirits having flown, Kiss of life, I could not love you more and Jive talking ❤❤❤❤. Barry has been happily married for 53 years. He and his brothers were definitely heartthrobs but were all in long term marriages💚💚
The entire soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is packed with BeeGees music. Other iconic artists from that era: Donna Summer, Jackson 5, Rose Royse, Heatwave, Earth Wind and Fire.
I went to discos at least 4 nights a week in London. This is REAL life! In fact when this hit No1 I worked for Cunard on QE2 New York to Southampton every five days. I’d be in NY at a disco Bee Gees non stop then five nights later I’d be in London at a disco Bee Gees non stop then I’d be back onboard ship again to NY and in the crew disco it’s be Bee Gees non stop again. Seriously not only was this MASSIVE on both sides of the Atlantic it was MASSIVE in the middle of the Atlantic. 😅
This is from a movie called Saturday Night Fever which revolved around a dance competition. John Travolta starred in it and is the guy dancing in the video here.
❤❤The Bee Gees wrote the music to this film 'Saturday Night Fever', it's was the biggest selling soundtrack of all time for decades!!! It was also the beginning of John Travolta's career. You'll probably know him from Pulp Fiction ❤❤
Also Berry was married to Lind since 1973 I believe. Still married to her. Loves her. But you'd think he was a Casanova with those lyrics. 😂Also I forgot the green heart in my last comment💚.
The BeeGees are originally from England/Australia. The one who sings so high is Barry Gibb and he was the oldest brother. He is also the only surviving brother. The others have all passed. They broke into the music scene in the 60s. They went 'viral' in the 70s and became the voice of Disco. I can't count how many hours I danced to their music. That was my high school years. They provided the soundtrack for the movie 'Saturday Night Fever'. They have also written music for a large contingent of other singers and bands. Very talented.
Born on the Isle of man which is british.went to Australia for 10yrs where they worked on their sound got some fame.moved back to britain.later moved to the US where Andy, fraternal twins robin and Maurice passed.leaving Barry left.
Yup, Isle of Man, then Manchester, then Australia... Such an amazing group, and I love their early videos from when they lived in Australia... Sweets for My Sweet, Wine and Women, I Want You to Want Me... I've known of them for decades, but only recently jumped down the rabbit hole from 'good band' to 'I want to know all the things'. LOL
Its interesting that all the dance sequences in Saturday Night Fever were done with some other music playing. The BeeGees didn't even sign onto the project until it was about all finished filming. They just dubbed the music in for the movie.
I love this video because it has all 4 of the Brothers Gibb in it! Andy is the one at the microphone with Maurice! That is John Travolta strutting his stuff on the dance floor in the movie Saturday Night Fever! I was born in '59, graduated in '78, so I was a teenager when this came out, and the Bee Gees were *huge*!
Love the beginning of this movie, Saturday Night Fever, for which the Bee Gees made and solidified their disco phase. You have to play it. You'll love it and probably recognize it. 💙😎
Jay you are too much . I really enjoy watching ur reaction of The Bee Gees thank you . Lovely to see u reacting to The Bee Gees. I remembered good old days when musics had meaning and appreciated. I danced to Night Fever in high School and friends parties. I even watched Saturday night fever film stared John Travolta as Tony Manero. The man dancing to The Bee Gees song the handsome and great Actor John Travolta. I really wish people of your age ll at least try to know about real musicians and musics from the past . Good luck to you Jay . U don't just deserve green hearts but other colours as well. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🧡🧡💛💛💛🤎🤎🩵🩵🩵🩵💜💜💜💜🤍🤍🤍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
The great 'Brothers Gibb'.❤...RIP Maurice, Andy & Robin..❤.. Loved these guys..❤. they had written and performed about 1000 songs for them and various other artists... Barry was the heartbreaker of the group, but there were no other beautiful master harmonizers like the Bee Gees....One of my favorite groups,, ❤ Great reaction.❤
70s was the best music and clothes ever! I was A teenager in the 70s and that was the best years of my life. Music was real and genuine actually it was their real voice no auto tune. Thank you for your vid’s I’m subscribing 😊
Their music was everywhere man, you literally could not go anywhere without hearing these songs. They were truly special and had longevity over a span of 20 years.
The dancer John Travolta danced with Princess Diana at the White House in Washington DC in the middle 80's while Reagan was President...he is still with us today!
Yes, some of the best tracks of the Disco era, Saturnight Fever with Bee Gees and John Travolta in the film, the most iconic and still has the ultimate vibes
The 4th singer is their little brother Andy Gibb. I prefer hand rolled windows. If you ever wrecked into water you could roll the window down and escape. That song is from the movie Saturday Night Fever. They did most of the soundtracks for the movie. They also wrote their own songs.
💚💚💚such great memories of community hall disco parties, junior high school dances, the roller rink with the lights and disco balls, we would practice those moves and bust it out on the dance floor... the time of our lives... .thanks Jay! 💚💚💚
It was so great seeing Andy performing with his 3 older brothers especially since we lost him so young. A lot of girls like me had a crush on Barry. Another top disco group was K.C. & The Sunshine Band. Try Boogie Man or Boogie Shoes. I used to work at a disco in '81. The place was always packed even though people claimed that Disco was dead.
The thing is, the world we live in. Now is created to keep us apart because if we get together and enjoy each other's company, add a disco or dancing or a skating Rinker wherever anywhere on a basketball port. But back then when I was growing up. The music was all about getting people together dancing. Skating, just enjoying spending time together, kicking it. It was a great time to be alive. I can't lie. We were poor but man. We have life so much better than the kids of this generation does.
Yes sweetie I am this old. I love watching your reactions to these videos and great songs. I have so many suggestions for you to view so we could watch your reactions. You are great. You really love listening to these old songs.❤
Mate, again, I am so pleased to see your desire for growth. Even more impressive is your understanding of depth within the music of the past. As a Swansea lad, I was gobsmacked to hear and learn about the music of old. I fell completely mad for EWF and Stevie Wonder. Wonder's 'Living for the City,' and Superstition are stunners, but only a drop in the bucket. Imagine being a wee lad in the 80s who stumbled into a second-hand record shop with a Stevie Wonder record titled 'Talking Book.' In it was a track called Maybe Your Baby. OMG! My head exploded! Thankfully, Stevie introduced me to a brilliant musical genre called FUNK. I am eternally grateful for that LP. The man is a GIANT.
when it came out i was too young to see saturday night fever. but i was allowed to go to the pictures (cinema) to see grease. The queues were all round the cinema and all the way down the street, that in itself was a memory. so much more happened before we even got in to see the movie. john travolta, amazing. the bee gees. something else indeed! such talent that crossed nations and genres .
1978 and I was 20 years old. From 1977 through to about 1980 or 1981, I would go to discos about 4 nights a week, getting there around 10 and dancing until 2 or 3 before heading home for a few hours sleep and then off to work for the day. It wasn't common for people to clear the dancefloor to watch someone dance, but it did happen sometimes, and we really did let ourselves go on the dancefloor and just let the music move our bodies. The dancing scenes are from the movie Saturday Night Fever (which has a great soundtrack album) and the dancer, John Travolta, did a lot of dance training for that role.
Love them BeeGee's! Bring back the disco's! lol Love that John Travolta, the dancer guy. =) YES! Barry...very handsome. He's not Elvis, but lovely to watch and listen to.
It just sucks you in! 52 year old who used to roller skate to this, too young for the Discos😝 I almost cried when you just couldn't NOT smile or NOT dance. It's just so fun and happy. We need more happy❤️❤️ Check out The Gap Band- Burn Rubber🔥
Barry Gibb has been married for 52 years he was the sexiest thing walking back in the day and yes he could have had any woman he wanted at any time but he was a faithful Family Man and still is
This movie Saturday Night Fever, contained so many themes. They talked about homophobia, racism, abortion, the Catholic Church and more. It was nitty gritty like real people from that neighborhood these guys lived in.
The Bee Gees had this album almost finished when the producer for this movie came to them about writing songs for it. What you are watching it’s the original music video (MTV was where you watch the latest music video and every new song had one. It was how hits were made back I the day) If you watch this video closely you’ll notice their young brother Andy Gibb who had his own hit records/songs is singing with them. From what I remember this happened right before Andy died. The dancing of John Travolta is from the movie and was part of the original music video. During the 70’s here in America, we had dance clubs or discos (they were called bars) with the most famous in New York City was Studio 54. All the celebrities went but it was a scandalous place at the end. Anyway trying to dance like they did on the movie was a thing. My favorite was a line dance of sorts called the hussle and you didn’t need a partner to dance it. 😊you should be dancing 🕺 yay 🎶
