To Love Somebody - Bee Gees | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION! 

"I've Gotta Get A Message To You" is an absolute banger.

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" should be next. I believe it came out in '71 or '72, right in between their "60s" stuff and their disco era. And it's my favorite BeeGees song!

Guys, you're gonna love "Lonely Days" by the Bee Gees. It was also released in 1970 in between their '60s and late '70s eras.

This is the Bee Gees era that gave us the song "Words" which is absolutely beautiful.

IMO this era of Bee Gees is far superior to the disco era. They had some beautiful songs. 3 very talented men.

As I always say, the Bee Gees were already legendary long before Saturday Night Fever.

Hey guys, huge Bee Gees fan great reaction. The reason it sounds like an R&B/Stevie Wonder song is that they were asked to write a song for Otis Redding who was going to come through London. The story Barry tells is his manager basically locked him in a hotel room and asked him to write something. He says it basically took a day to write it. Of course Otis tragically passed and never got to record it, so they did and it’s kind of become a standard.

You can't beat their sibling vocal harmonies. They were relevant in every generation they sang....and were great at it.

The vocals on "Too Much Heaven" will blow your minds!

The BGs music before disco was soo impressive. Run to Me is one of my favorites and Robin on lead vocals is amazing.

I'll second the call for "Lonely Days."

They actually wrote this for Otis Redding who died before he could record it. Eric Burdon & The Animals do an incredible version of this.

“Lonely Days” and “How Do You Mend A broken Heart” are Bee Gee’s pre-disco classics. Two more songs you can actually feel.

I don’t know if you’ve listened to it yet, but if you haven’t, their song, Massachusetts is really good. It’s from this same era.

Next needs to be Fanny be tender with my Love

The BeeGees were assured legends even if the disco era and beyond never happened.

HAIKU- “ The New York Mining Disaster” is the most folky melancholic thing they ever did.

I've always liked pre-disco Bee Gees to the later music for the most part.

My mom's favorite band. I miss her and the Bee Gees always makes me think of her.❤

"Words" is a great early Bee Gees tune.

These cats are just simply among the greatest songwriters of all time. Period.

Love the 1960’s and early 70’s Bee Gees! This song was written for Otis Redding but he was killed in the plane crash before he could record it.

There aren’t many songs that have been covered more than this one. Classic. Masterpiece.

"Nights on Broadway" and "Lonely Days" are great too. If you ever venture into their disco era, you gotta check out "You Should Be Dancing".🔥

The voices of three angels singing together. Such a beautiful song.

Lonely Days should be next, Amazing song.

It's an S, boys.

I miss my Dad when I hear this song. Enjoy your weekend Boys! Give your Dad a call everyone! L💞ve from Canada.

hope you guys watch Muscle Shoals. splendid documentary on 60s and 70s music

That "Bee Gees 1st" album is great: this song, "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You," "In My Own Time." Great record.

The best bee gees song in terms of pure quality is "Fanny be tender with my love", you will be blown away.

Guys gotta do Lonely Days next

One of the best early Bee Gees. Words is the best in my opinion.

"R&B influences"...maybe they influenced R&B, to an extent?

Goosebumps still after more thatn 50 years of listening. My favorite Bee Gees song. I bought this single when I was tween and played it on my little record player - over and over and over... Drove my family crazy 😵‍💫

"How Deep Is Your Love" (My favorite Bee Gees song)

I love the way the Bee Gees give a man's perspective and thoughts. They give men a voice and say things maybe a man would find it difficult to say. They explain that really well in the song Wind of Change. Toby Keith really hits on this in the song Me Too. Great songs.

I'm not a huge Keith Urban fan but he did this song as a tribute to the Bee Gees, in front of Barry, as Robin & Maurice had already passed and it was fkn awesome!! His guitar playing was amazing❤

Some of my favorite Bee Gees songs are from before their disco era. "To Love Somebody" is definitely one of them. Others include, "Really and Sincerely", "Fanny (Be Tender...)", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Massachusetts", "Run to Me"...good grief, this list could go on and on!

Bee Gees - Massachusetts (live 1989).

When people say "Gorgeous Vocals" about a song, this is what they need to compare it to because OMG the beauty of their vocals in this song is incredible.

Words and Night Fever are my top 2 Beegees

Hey guys, next time you come around to Foreigner please check out Star Rider off of their monster Debut album.

Technically this was not their first album. But it was their first one internationally. They previously released a couple of albums in their native Australia only.

Please react to Andy Gibb on Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. It's the Bee Gees younger brother. Also, Michael Jackson and Barry Gibb, All In Your Name. Great songs.

Barry's singing is fantastic in this song. I love the Bee Gees older songs. I only heard them in the last few years. They are so much more than disco! I wish I had known sooner!

"Holiday" from the Bee Gees' first album may be the best cut of all.

Pre-disco Bee Gees are my favourite Bee Gees. BTW strongly suggest “Run to me”.

One of my favorite Bee Gees tunes is actually from the 1990's called "Alone".

You guys might want to listen to "Lonely Days", on the Bee Gees' album "2 Years On". ;-)

You Win Again and Fanny (be tender with my heart) should be the next Bee Gees song please and thank you ❤

i don't no if you have ever hit band Roxy music

Review ANY bee gees track and I'll be happy, all stunning!

If I'm not mistaken, the Bee Gees wrote this for Otis Redding, but sadly he passed before he recorded it.

MONSTER hit during my high school years. Radio stations played the hell out of it.

Wish you'd have done the original video to see who was signing when... This was originally written for Otis Redding, at the behest of their manager, Robert Stigwood, but he died in a plane crash before he could record it.

Words , 1941 Mining Disaster , Lonely Days ... all good stuff

Too Much Heaven is out of this world.

Another from that era (Robin Gibb lead)-- "I Can't See Nobody" worth listening to. I just heard your comments. Seriously, even if you decide not to play it here, go to RU-vid. Watch the first video of this. Then watch the first video of Robin Gibb singing "I Can't See Nobody". Two very short songs that will please you.😊

I was lucky enough to see them twice in concert. The first time I saw them their career was on a bit of a lull after many pop hits in the 60s. It was around 71 that I first saw them and although they had a string of hits earlier, they hadn’t been on the charts for awhile. And they played a beautiful venue in Calgary called the Jubilee Auditorium. But the Jubilee was a smaller venue of 2400. The second time I saw them was at an arena, and it was just after their second ascension on the back of Jive Talking and Staying Alive, which was a monster. Both concerts were fantastic. Live they were phenomenal. This for me is their most beautiful and haunting song. It still gives me chills.

My first college roommate had this album and listened to it often. This was 1989, a decade after disco, and a time when it definitely wasn't popular to listen to the Bee Gees. He would put this on, watch people enjoy it, and see their faces when they began to realize it was the Bee Gees. Good memories.

Have you guys done baby brother Bee Gee yet? Andy Gibb (swoon) all of the tweens crushes in the 70’s. I Just want To Be Your Everything, Shadow Dancing… He left this mortal coil too soon or he would’ve blown up to be as big or bigger than his older brothers who really supported him so much.

Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven......if you haven't reacted to this one, it's their Best Song then you have to react to it next!

Have you done "Too Much Heaven" yet? It'll blow your mind.

There is a whole section on RU-vid where people have taken the music out and it sounds like they’re singing a cappella. This is one, Stayin Alive is another and they are just amazing.

Thanks so much for your reaction. The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7niXSh7vWRI.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WH_j90fCIk4.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vfHUS5Mf00Q.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MT9vRHSWNbk.html.

And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-162GlAEpfrY.html. Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--KdBVKcSSSw.html which is kind of a duet with Barry.

"Run To Me" will blow you away. This is my favorite Bee Gees period and I have lived through the 60's and 70's Bee Gees.

Bee Gees are one of the finest examples of "Blood Harmony". Lots of singers can harmonize well with each other...but there's something special that happens when family members do it. (Carter Family, Jacksons, Everly Bros., Staple Singers...etc.)

Masterpiece of a song. Amazing expression of a deep and universal feeling. Amazing for so early in their career and I think amazing for it’s time. And it stands up today. A?? No.

Love watching your channel. You always play the whole songs......and loud Man! You make this 67 year old smile!

The French Horns, the Harp! Violins, Cello!! Just beautiful, majestic, soaring.

Careful boys: once you fall down the Bee Gees rabbit hole, you'll need to leave a rope behind or you might never find your way back out. Other pre-disco singles worth checking out: "Holiday," "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "Massachusetts, "World" (oddly, I prefer this one over the similarly-named "Words"), "I've Just Gotta Get a Message to You," "First of May," "Don't Forget to Remember," "Lonely Days," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Some pre-disco deep cuts worth checking out ten years from now: "I Can't See Nobody," "Close Another Door," "Lemons Never Forget," "Melody Fair," "Sound of Love," "Lamplight," "If Only I Had My Mind on Something Else," "2 Years On," "Portrait of Louise," "Throw a Penny."

Wow......50+ years ago I remember slow-dancing to this!

Love You Inside N Out ( backwards and forwards with my heart hangin’ out.)

Nore Bee Gees 4 U, from thier Soundtrack Album Saturday Night Fever "Night Fever" & "Jive Talkin'"

Lonely Days, Words, How can you mend a broken heart, so many more. I love early Bee Gees, so much better than disco Bee Gees IMO

Love the early BeeGees more than the disco BeeGees.

Dudes - BeeGee's have albums from when they were kids in the 60's!

"Too Much Heaven" is absolutely INCREDIBLE. It's a must to react to. They have so many hits. Excellent reaction.

The Bee Gees were simply amazing. Incredible voices and such talented songwriters. Saw them in concert here in Australia. 🇦🇺

Yes, this song does have a bit of an R&B feel. They intended to write a song that Otis Redding could record, and he might have if he had lived longer, but he died later in 1967. I recommend another early one, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", for your next Bee Gees song. When you return to their later stuff, "You Should Be Dancing" and "Night Fever" are both good.

I love the melody and the words are precious.

Technically, this was The Bee Gees' third album, as they had recorded two earlier ones in Australia, but this was their major label debut (for Robert Stigwood's RSO label, distributed by Polydor in Europe and Atco in North America), and also the first with the five-man line-up of Barry, Robin, Maurice, guitarist Vince Melouney and drummer Colin Petersen. The cover art was by none other than Klaus Voormann (The Beatles' Hamburg friend and bassist for Manfred Mann), who also designed the Revolver cover. The whole album is very orchestrated and slightly baroque-styled, but the totally trippy track on it is Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You.

Fanny Be Tender With My Heart- very soulful

One of these days, you will please do "LONELY DAYS".... Please??????????? You will thank me.

Have you done Lonely Days, Lonely Nights?

The first song i ever heard from the Bee Gees was something like “New York Mining Disaster”, I’m 73 now n I think i would have about 15yo then. I remember the first line, “In the event of something happening to me, theres something i would like you all to see”, heck they would’ve been kids themselves then. Just love you guys, n Been following you now since your Day Dot.

A song originally written for Otis Redding in late 1967. At the request of the Bee Gees manager Robert Stigwood. Unfortunately Redoing was killed in a plane crash in December 1967. So the Bee Gees recorded it themselves. But you can hear Otis Redding singing it.

Try my favorite... Lonely Days and Lonely Nights. You won't regret it.

For those of us who were teens in the 60's, this is how we were introduced to the Bee Gees. The disco era, when they really blew up in popularity and fame, was completely different. I don't know that I'd call it "progression", more like just a big change! I never was big into disco. But there's no accounting for taste, as the old saying goes. Anyways, thanks for reacting to this. God bless you!

"New York Mining Disaster 1941" is unexpectedly great!

"Every Christian Lionhearted Man Will Show You" That one's also on Bee-Gee's 1st Also a completely different direction

Yeah, they changed with the times, but the important thing is that they changed with the times well. You can tell 80's Chicago apart from 70's Chicago, and you can surely tell 70's Bee Gee's from 60's Bee Gee's. One evolved well, the other didn't.

As for the BeeGees try too much heaven. For another amazing voice try unchained melody by the righteous brothers. Especially this one live version you can find on RU-vid. Forever advocating for more funk Funkadelic who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock Music Parliament aqua boogie and agony of DeFeet Lakeside fantastic voyages

Please stick with the 60's Bee Gees, so much better than that disco crap. They had so many great hits before disco. Lonely Days I've Gotta Get A Message To You Massachusetts Holiday World New York Mining Disaster Words Any of those would be great

Dudes were so good great harmony’s unreal

Can't believe no one's shouting out First Of May as next track to hit; the Odessa album was peak Bee Gees imo (Odessa was a late 60s "concept" album, basically their answer to Sgt. Pepper)

Hey guys! I haven’t seen you for a while. Good song. IMO their best song is How Do You Mend A Broken Heart. It was a big bit of theirs. Take care. Brightest blessings! ✌️❤️

I like a fair amount of their 70s stuff, but I still like the early stuff over the Disco stuff and I really like this particular song probably more than any other Bee Gees song, along with Nights and Stayin' Alive.

Good catch for the R&B feel. Barry wrote this specifically for Otis Redding to sing. Otis never got to record it, but Janis did. The Bee Gees version is unsurpassed though. This is my favorite song of all time.
