Reactors Surprised the Bee Gees are White | REACTION | Cyn's Corner 

THIS is the video I should have reacted to: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jQLhhXKYg6Y.html

I'm 75 years old and I love watching young people discover and react to music from "back in the day." I like their reactions better than the actual music - sorta - because I will watch maybe 50 different reactors do the SAME song. The song itself, stays the same, but the reactions are all different, and that's what is interesting to me. I'm a million miles away from the crowd I grew up with and most of them have already passed away, so I never experience the sharing of music with my friends as I did when I was young, so this gives me an opportunity to replay enjoyable parts of my early life.

This is pretty amazing when you think about it. So many years gone by and the Bee Gees are still blowing people's Minds!

Barry is the oldest, Maurice and Robin were twins and 3 years younger. Andy was the baby of the family and was 12 years younger than Barry. The oldest 3 started in 1958, the year Andy was born. Andy wanted to be a solo artist. Andy died in 1988 5 days after his thirtieth birthday from a heart attack brought on by cocaine abuse. Maurice died in 2003 from a twisted bowel , he died of a heart attack on the operating table. Robin died in 2012 from cancer. Barry is the only one living.

Barry Maurice and Robyn... they got their first TV gig in Australia in the mid 1960's, first hit was in Australia as well. We are so proud of these guys. Cheers for Sydney Australia.

I remember when I was a kid, whenever there was a gathering the record player would be playing Bee Gees, Boney M or ABBA.

I can confirm. In the 70's we wore platform shoes and flared (bell-bottomed) trousers. They seemed weird even at the time.

It was so funny watching one of the reactors, "Mr. Video," react to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra doing the theme song to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," never having even heard of the Clint Eastwood movie. His eyes really popped out when he spotted the guy hanging from a rope above the orchestra and was TOTALLY confused.

After seeing your reaction I instantly had to subscribe to you. Don't know what your other material is about but this alone sold me.

These guys wrote their own music & created their own unique sound, top quality musicians like so many artists of those times. I just don't see that kind of quality too often these days.

I think younger black reactors' perception of the Bee Gees are shaped by the fact that a) this song is used in a whole bunch of "black" movies, and b) their disco-era tracks had a lot of crossover appeal so the reactors probably heard their parents or grandparents listening to them. I think that shaped their idea the vocals sounded "black" more than there being anything particularly "black" about the vocals. I've known since I was a young kid they were white so the vocals always sounded "white" to me.

I'm subscribed to most of these guys. Agreed it's a communal experience or it's the closest thing you can get to reliving your own first experience. And some people are alone and knowing people feel the same as you do is comforting.

They group up where we live in Australia and they even visited my child's school because it's the same one they went to in Primary School XD I'm always surprised people thought they weren't white too. They were a great group and always will be actually. Thank you for appreciating the guys too, Mate

You and I are in the same age group, obviously, so, it’s heart warmingly amusing to see black people(mostly youngsters) react to The Bee Gees, thinking they were black, only to discover that they had been listening to a trio of British guys from Manchester. However, it still warms my heart to see young people in general discover the music that we grew up listening to.

The first reactors were referring to ROLL BOUNCE, a fun 2005 movie about some black kids in the 70s who participate in a roller boogie contest so the song was a standard in roller rinks and other films with discotheques. The movie is super charming and worth checking out.

Andy went out on his own. Barry ( Lead Singer) ,Robin ( The Red Head) and Maurice formed The Bee Gee's in 1958 and became popular in the 70's Disco Fad.

Disco music has many detractors but when something like this starts playing or Donna Summer singing 'I Feel Love', everybody and I mean EVERYBODY starts hipping to the rhythm. And it's good to see young blood also getting something out of it too. All us 70+ year olds get to do some more of our 'Dad' dancing again!

Barry ,Robin ,and Maurice are the Bee Gees. Barry was born in 1946 ,and the twins Robin and Maurice were born in 1949.Andy was born in 1958 .He had a very successful solo career. He was going to join the group ,but he died in 1988 at age 30 of a heart infection. I watched the first couples reaction over and over and showed it to my daughter and grandkids.It was so funny.They seemed really surprised to see who was singing" Stayin' Alive".Very Genuine.

I saw many that were surprised. Funny to have a watcher watching a watcher watching a video. I love reaction videos.

I loved it! This is why I love reaction videos. Reacting to reaction videos? It adds a whole new layer and I think it has a lot of potential. You'll have 8,000 subscribers soon

Just reminds me how beautiful music is to the world. Its a wonderful, unifying thing.

I have watched all of these videos before in my own time and everyone made me crack up but the first couple was so young and so surprised and just so animated I have to watch it once in awhile just to make me smile

now i want to see a vid of someone reacting to cyn reacting to others reacting to them reacting to cyn

Barry, Robin, and Maurice started singing on street corner contests and fairs in 1963, Andy joined them for a song or two around 1980-81 when he had his teen beat heart thob career album and terrible cocaine habit going in full swing. He died of a massive overdose. It was a TRAGEDY.

A reactor reacting to reactor’s reactions is now my favorite type of reaction video.

Andy was much younger than them. He was there with Scott Baio and Leif Garrett. I love watching kids watching classics. There will never be another...

The Bee Gees videos I've seen "first time" reactions to have mostly been to "Too Much Heaven" and "How Deep Is Your Love". For obvious reasons.......those get a lot of reaction. Yes, Virginia, we felt the same in the 70's💓

Saturday night fever is a personal favourite movie found it at 16 in the 90s fell in love ( knew the beegees from before that ) .

They are not surprised when they reacted to 'Staying Alive" because many of the reactors had already been shocked by Barry's voice in other reaction videos like "Too Much Heaven".

Andy, Barry, Robin and Maurice 😉

I think we would be surprised how many of these kids have never seen Saturday Night Fever

Andy was more solo at this time. Making his own hits. Some written by his brothers. Shadow Dancing, Our Love Don't Throw It All Away, Everlasting Love etc. Was in my early 20s when he died. A sad day.

Andy was never a Bee Gee . Bee Gees were Barry, Robin and Maurice (pronounced Mortis the fraternal twins). Andy was so young when they became famous, he started his solo career at 18. He was finally going to join them in 1988 but passed away that year. He was yo be part of their album One, they dedicated that album to him. They were surprised that the person who sang that song was the Bee Gees since had been in s lot of movies. They had never heard song in its entirety. Love that you reacted to it. ❤

I'm generalizing and speaking from my own mind but as a black person, I recall being impressed by soulful white singers like; The lead singer of Simply Red, Daryl Oates, Bobby Caldwell, Joe Cocker, Kenny Loggins, Taylor Dayne, Michael McDonald etc. My black friends and family have always embraced soulful white singers as if it was special...Its innocent and silly but holds truth. Maybe it's like white people being impressed with Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing or even Prince's. Idk

yes, 4 gibb brothers, andy, barry (the one with the high pitch), maurice (the one with the balding head) and robin (the one that doesn't have a beard in the bee gees).

3:20 I LOVED THESE KIDS! I think life got in the way for them unfortunately but they were fresh you loves that really didn’t know about the past musical giants that influenced ALL of their favorite bands/singers

I've been watching reaction videos for months now, especially on music videos, and this is gooooodddddd..... I'm your your subscriber by the way. Keep it coming 👍👍

SOOOO FUN!

70е вернулись ! 👍🔥🔥🔥

The same holds true for wild cherries , play that funky music

Funny thing, I've heard of them, heard that song, never directly though, and yet as soon as I hear the name Bee Gees that song plays in my head.

Squirming in your chair is required when listening to Staying Alive.

Andy was the youngest and first to die; he had terrible addiction problems. He had a very short solo career, with a couple of big hits. He was much younger, and was never really a part of the Bee-Gee's.

Same thing with Bobby Caldwell, so many people thought he was black lol

Hello cyn I've been subscribed to six of these channels over months and some cases years and really have a good time. 👌

Love India. Agreed on her reactions

Je suis heureux d'avoir prit en pleine figure la musique des années 70-80-90. Quand je vois la palette de couleur musicale uniquement dans le disco et que je vois la musique de nos jours je dois dire que je m'ennuie, cette musique actuel ne me donne pas envie de m'amuser. De plus ce morceau précis est un hymne à la survie. C'était aussi une musique qui a fait avancé certaines idées sociale qui sont des évidences aujourd'hui.

Andy was a solo act. Before he passed away, the Bee Gees invited him to join them as the 4th Bee Gee, and he agreed to join them. 😪

The first two were mentioning a movie called Roll Bounce that Lil Bow Wow was in.

Barry's in the middle,Andy was the youngest dated Victoria Priciple.

I was loving the these moments when I saw them too grew up with Bee Gees too and seeing these kids not knowing that they were white it great

They're walking from Brooklyn where the movie was based to Harlem to teach them how it's done

[ 3:45 ] - I didn't know what Roll Bounce was, but I checked IMDB and it's a roller skating movie from 2005 taking place in 1978. Never heard of it.

Thanks cyn . Good stream I caught up earlier. The ignorance of the younger generation is a continuous mystery to me

A lot of them are going to be in for a shock when they hear and see Michael McDonald.

This was really good. Lot of fun. Geaux Saints. Help the Panthers lol

Andy was the youngest brother who was solo artist, but was going to join the group. He did make a couple appearances with is older brothers Barry (oldest) Maurice and Robin (twins).

There was Barry, Robin, Maurice & Andy. Andy never joined the group because he was much younger when their careers took off. As he got older he went on his own & his brothers would include him in live performances. Unfortunately he succumbed to drugs & died from complications from them. Robin & Maurice (twins by the way), one died from stomach problems, twisted stomach & bowels, the other died from cancer. Sad to say Barry is the oldest & also the only one still alive. Also, you missed a great reaction, can’t remember the name because his clip has been used many times on reactions of being black. He talks to video saying he knows black music & they are black. He says he can’t understand cover white men with guitars are on front cover, they must be back up. Puts his head phones on starts listening, then when he sees them, well it’s just priceless. He takes headphones off, runs away, then comes back, & he’s in just complete disbelief. Like I said, priceless.

I think it would be more common to be surprised to find out the Bee Gees were men. :-P

I remember the interview where they commented on the "news" that disco was dead. overnight I stopped hearing their music on the radio.

What's funny; is that if they had heard the pre-Saturday Night Fever Bee-Gees'; those very same people, who thought they were black; would never have even remotely thought that they weren't white...!!

Back then they were on a lot of R&B radio stations, where most of the listeners thought they were Black, then the Bee Gees got a lot of backlash for sounding black. LOL crazyness.

Roll Bounce is a movie that’s set in the 70’s about a group of kids that hang out at the skating rink. It’s a fun movie. You should react to it!

Robin died of cancer, and Maurice died from sepsis(blood poisoning from a ruptured intestine).

There were four Gibb brothers but only three Bee Gees. Andy was a solo.artist. There's at least one live video with all four though.

You all might want to check out the Righteous Brothers. Their voices may surprise you too.. Lots of great music....!!!!!!!

It must be even more of a shock for some when they find out the BeeGees weren't even American, but were born on the Isle of Man and grew up in Australia. :-)

To be fair a lot of people think the Ginger Man is black as well because he has soul and he can rap

There are other ones that show back to back people flipping out when they see that they are white. It's hilarious

Barry is the oldest, Maurice and Robin are twins and Andy was the youngest on his own and died

Andy died of a cocaine over dose. Maurice and Robin were twins. So sad that Barry’s here alone without his brothers.

I might do a reaction to your reaction of their reaction.

Yes before they saw him they thought Elvis was black too. Then all this evolved!!!!😊

if ya get a chance, watch their reactions to the righteous brothers, both unchained melody and you lost that loving feeling, there are some reactions there as to how bobby gets his voice that high pitch and how bill's voice gets that low pitch,

i've been watchign chris and rheasia, and mr video for several months, but i haven't seen most of the others.

The days of platform shoes and bell bottom jeans.

yes there were 4 brothers.... I have watched many reviews where people were surprised that they were white....and many more that have never heard of the Bee Gee's

Commenting on a video of a reactor reacting to reactors. I think we just opened the Stargate

Similar reaction with The Righteous Brothers singing You've Lost That Loving Feeling.

Your reaction was the same as mine watching their reactions. Once u get into more 60s and 70s music reactions the blacks will actually say they have discovered blued soul and funk

Andy performed solo. Barry is the oldest and is the only one still alive. Robin and Maurice (pronounced Morris) are twins. Maurice died in 2003 and Robin passed in 2012. There are actually a lot of reactions where people are astonished that the Brothers Gibb were white. You just gotta look!

Mr. Video and Modern Renaissance Man were more surprised that the band Living Colour are black. I wonder if there's a compilation video of that reaction.

There was a singer named Tony Joe White (1943-2018) and back in the 1960s and '70s, he had a few hits on what was known back then a swamp-rock. He said when he met Tina Turner in 2006, she burst out laughing because after hearing a recording of him singing one of his early hits Polk Salad Annie, she assumed from his voice he was black. You can listen to it on RU-vid at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCSsVvlj6YA.html

It was on black movies are you kidding me the song is from the soundtrack Saturday Night Fever which is an all-white cast

Andy wasn't in the Bee Gees but they did work with him some

Barry, Robin, Maurice and Andy.

Nice😊👍🏽

The watchers watching the watchers???? Lol

5:26 "so, i was tricked, once again!"

Check out the reactions to the Bee Gees video "Too Much Heaven". Some of the reactions will floor you. comparing them to angels singing and Barry to "Jesus".

Yes four only barry is with us . Saw an emotional interview with him about being the last brother. Think it was the sun newspaper but a video interview. Very sad

Maurice , Robin, and Barry I’m 27 I should not know this but I was raised by a 36 year old and a 44 year old my mom brainwashed me to love literally anything and everything from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. My dad brainwashed me with Westerns and old cowboy movies oh and a ton of Elvis

Andy died in the 70's of an OD at the height of his solo career.

Wonder how they reacted when the realised they are also British

This video this kid fell.off his chair because he was so shocked when he found out they where white lol. And yes Andy Gibb was solo passed in the 80s. Then Maurice, and Robin. All we have left is Barry. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s_zItFb0Wng.html

Andy was the youngest and was on his own never a Bee Gee, he past away at 30 . The twins Mo and Robin past away 2003 & 2012. Barry is the only one left now

Who hasn;t heard this song? LOL

I love to See reaction of Tony Baker #AninalVoiceover😅👍🏼 Chris and Reah are so cute and funny 😅

You should have included BizMatic for a good reaction. The Bee Gees were also Australian

White 😲 I'm 32 and thought theys black singers I asked my momma and she said they were white people, I had no idea
