I first listened Robin's a started a joke in 1969 when I was 17 now I am 71 ,the everlasting melody is still as vivid as before.. Thank U the Gibbs brothers.. Ur songs have enriched my life all these years
"First of May" is also a great song. The banter between Lulu and Tom Jones makes this fantastic! I'm going to see if someone has uploaded the entire show.
THE BEE GEES ARE STILL IN MY HEART FOREVER BARRY KNOWS ME WE MET IN 1977 WHEN I WAS 14 AND HE AND I DATED WE WERE EATING OUT AT DIFFERENT RESTURANTS WE HAD FUN EATING TOGETHER

Really absolutely awful are you deaf he looks and sounds ridiculous are you mental he is absolutely awful the only way they're ever going to shut up is when there dead oh that's happened thank God bloody awfull freeks
I'm a big big fan of Robin, I started a joke is one of my favorite songs of them since childhood! I'm 58 now, this song still sounds as beautiful as yesterday ＆ brings back so many memories.
@@TheBrownlj See here you are again, not accepting other people's preferences. Maybe it's you that should just scroll past positive comments about anyone except Barry, I'm certain he doesn't need you or anyone else disrespecting his beloved brothers.
@lindajames978 didn't say anything negative about Robin at all just said it was my least favourite song. It's your problem how you interpret that, not mine.
Robin Gibb your voice is amazing. It always melt my heart and soul. We won't forget you and your brothers. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace beside our Heavenly Father. 🙏
he was my favourite singer. I loved the Bee Gees. I was very sad to hear he had died. Seemed such a gente soul. A very beautiful song. It tells a lot about sensitivity.
My best friend and I were likely the first kids in town to discover the Bee Gees. First album is my all time favorite Bee Gees album. I first played "To Love Somebody" for him and he was mesmerized by the thumping bass line between verses. I played guitar and he asked me if I could teach that part to him. He was so enthusiastic that he went to a music store and bought a cheap bass guitar for $89.00 so I could teach him. In a month he learned to play well enough that we started a little three piece basement band and started playing a few small gigs. Over the decades we were the biggest fans ever. We played their hits, mixed in with Black Sabbath, GFR, James Gang, Hendrix. Quite a contrast, but the audience enjoyed it.
1st of May was a beautiful song. Who knew, that years later long after Lulu and Maurice married & divorced, that they would reunite and sing that same song together as a duet!! Beautiful!! You could tell there was still love between, both of them!! Thank You, for the memories!!
@sharonmoore9934 That was so stunning. That performance took my breath away and had me in tears. It was really beyond touching and to think that it was within a few months and beautiful Mo was gone 😭💔
We owe a lot to the Brothers Gibb, we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for us to listen to their Songs and Music. God bless all the Brothers Gibb. Perhaps we will meet at Heavens Door. Peter Keane.
I remember me and my little brother along with my mom and had just gone to the movies to see Rachell Welch in 1 Million years BC...we' were driving back to the house in Ipswitch in England...and this started playing just as we approach the house...my dad just kept driving until the song was over...amazing what sticks in your head...life is good.
Barry Gibb, Tom Jones and Cliff Richards the only 3 male singers who sound as good now as they did when they were younger. (Robin and Maurice if still with us, I have no doubt would be in the same category also).
Robin was the epitamy of a masterful voice. We shall never know all the greatness he could have achieved. He sings and we all sit up and take notice. A life-changing experience. Gone too soon.
'Joke' will be remembered always. One of the greatest songs of all time. And robin's vocals, masterful perfection. It belongs in the music hall of fame, along with robin gibb.
Bee Gees are an extremely rare exception of vocalists that sound even better when the accompaniment drops out. Normally that reveals weaknesses. But if fine and startling quality is what your voice is really about, it reveals that too.
At least Mo got some attention here.... diligently and beautifully playing the piano out of the spotlight. Thx Lulu. They were fantastic for 5+ decades. ❤ Always missed.
*Boomer here: I sincerely hope Gen Z takes away one big lesson from this song. No machine, no computer, no bot will ever top human talent, passion, and creativity. Machines and computers, they can do many things humans can't do. But not the arts, not [real] music. Never lose real music. In a way, you already have. Rap isn't music, it's talking. 60s, 70s, and 80s... that was real music. It changes your mood, your mind, and your thinking. Never give up real music, nothing replaces it.*
Being that I was born mid 50's I know what you're saying but I'll be honest, I just love music. It's subjective imo. Nirvana, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Elvis, Jackson 5 (RIP Michael) Coolio (gangster paradise*) Nat KIng Cole, Tchaikovsky, Amy Winehouse etc etc. I appreciate that there are Artists for all my moods, mind & thinking.
Another boomer here (81 years young). I agree. I loved Elvis, Nat King Cole, etc., when I was young, but the BeeGees are my all-time favorite for their genius songwriting and beautiful harmonizing voices. The music of the 70s was especially phenomenal, with Foreigner, Journey and far too many more groups and singers to name. Also the 80s. No computers, no autotune, just passionate songwriting and pure instrumental and vocal talent.
I started a joke, me lembro de Robin bem jovem cantando essa música na tv (já era a cores) e eu sentia tristeza . Na época era só uma menina e não entendia nada, nem sabia direito quem era os Bee Gees Mas sempre que eu ouvia ou assistia na TV ficava triste. Mas lá no fundo já amava Robin Gibb e não sabia. ❤️ Eu amo Robin Gibb como pessoa e ser humano que foi. Tenho muito respeito por ele e sua família, esposa e filhos. Eu o amo por que ele foi um guerreiro em tudo que fez e lutou muito contra a doença no final da sua vida. Um exemplo de pessoa. Amo Robin Gibb mesmo não estando mais aqui. ❤️
I started a joke it's make the whole world crying.. I'm not yet by this time...and yet I could cry listening to this song. RIP Andy, Robin and Maurice.
OH!!! MY!!! What voices. Every time I hear them (since 1971 when I was 8 going on 9) they are like a slab of butter on a hot ear of corn. You put it on and wait for it to melt as you salivate in anticipation.
I LOVE their music as much as I loved the Mamas and Papas they were both sensational. And there's the Beatles, and more! Wow, we had it really good music wise in the 60's.
Barry Gibb says in the Bee Gees documentary that he would give up all the group's hits if he could just have his brothers Robin and Maurice back. Well, Barry, your brothers and you are immortal because of those hits, which only the Bee Gees could have delivered so beautifully! God bless you three--and Andy too.
"We don't say goodbye" from their best ever song "Immortality" as so aptly sung by Celine Dion in a tearjerker video production before their losses with the exception of Andy. RIP Maurice, Robin and René. Truer words never spoken.
They wrote some of the most beautiful music ever and carried those songs with three of the most uniquely beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. I love these guys dearly. Don’t know where all that sadness came from..
A unos ángeles cantando como ellos Yo los escuche ayer hace mas de medio siglo, los escucho hoy con 68 años y los escucharé mañana y siempre Divinos celestiales
I’ve always liked Robin’s songs better than the others, as far as who wrote them. Robin’s songs always had something different that just tore my heart out and I could always tell he wrote it by how emotional it was.
*For me, when Robin lead, or took a chorus in one of their songs he turned it into a masterpiece,take a listen to For Whom The Bell Tolls, truly amazing*
I love the song First of May and heard it for the first time when Lulu sang it with Maurice Gibb on An Audience with Lulu. I never realised it was a Bee Gee song until hearing it on the Tom Jones special today. One of their many fantastic songs. I miss seeing the Bee Gees singing together. So sad that Maurice and Robin passed away.
