It was Barry’s brother Robin who opened the song. You can hear more of Robin’s distinctive voice in their breakthrough hit of 1968,”Massachusetts”. He sadly passed away in 2012 and is buried in our local town of Thame ( pronounced Tame) Oxfordshire, England. The BeeGees’ music runs a thread through my music awakening in the early sixties to this day . Keep doing what you are doing. Loving you’re hair Amber🇬🇧

Maurice instinctively knew (no training!) how to add his voice to the three-part harmony and give it that magical quality. A fantastic example of their slow build in harmony is in "Run to Me" -- once Maurice joins, it is just sublime. Would you guys please react to that one? Aside from being a gorgeous song, it is a clear showcase of the voices of all three of them.

For FEMALE FRIDAY: Carole King is a must!! Her album Tapestry was in the top charts for over 6 years!!! Try “It’s Too Late” or “I Feel The Earth Move”. Carole co-wrote over 130 top 40 hits in the 60s with her ex husband Gerry Goffin. Her song “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman” is considered one of Aretha Franklin’s greatest hits, and “You’ve Got A Friend” is one of James Taylor’s biggest hits. Both are on Tapestry.

This came out in 1971 and why you HAVE to listen to the Bee Gees from the 60's. The 60's songs sound more like this, what you've listened to so far from the Bee Gee's is Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The beginning is sung by Robin, and why I feel you should listen to Robin on lead, in songs like "Massachusetts", "I Started a Joke", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", and "I've Got to Get a Message To You", to name a few. Suggestion for 1 song sang by 2 different artist , try "Kiss" written and preformed by Prince, then covered by Tom Jones. You can't pick a favorite.

@alicesvideos 26 дней назад

Yes, yes, yes and yes! I think all those songs were all on one album, their first US release. I remember being blown away. Wasn't New York Mining Disaster their first single here, with a whole lot of radio play. Disco BeeGees pale by comparison to Early BeeGees. To Love Somebody, Words . . . is there another group or single person who's had a comparable career spanning decades, who've written so many songs -- for themselves and so many others? And who can move you to tears with those voices?

Her family was very religious and wanted her to go back with her first husband for the church. I came ho.e from work to find her, her daughter and ex-husband in a Uhaul truck getting ready to drive away. I was heartbroken. I decided to drive to my parents' house, which was about an hour away. Every station I changed the radio to was playing this song. I must have heard part of it at least ten times. I was devastated. It took me a while but I never forgot.

@garypatrick3001 2 года назад

Yes, I can't believe you haven't done "Nights on Broadway" yet. In my mind, it's the quintessential Bee Gee's song, as it sits at the inflection point of their career, with equal elements of their early ballad-biased work and their later disco sound. You get a good dose of Robin's unique voice, Barry's natural "husky" sound, the prototypical Bee Gees harmony, along with a taste of Barry's first foray into his falsetto.

Barry is the tallest, handsomest brother, he has the most self-confidence, and all of that shows in his singing. Robin is shy, his voice shows shyness. Maurice is the most shy, retiring brother, he dealt with alcohol addiction, marriage problems. He doesn't solo at all.

Robin had a unique voice with that tremolo, yet when they sang together, his voice didn't stick out. The advantage of being brothers, is part of it, but there's a different technique to singing a solo compared to singing with others. I think it was Barry from the first chorus on. I love both voices. The falsetto thing didn't start until the late 70s. I think "Nights on Broadway" was the first time Barry tried it.

That shakiness you were hearing in Robin’s voice when he started the song is called “vibrato” which means vibration.

@RadioReactiveOne 2 года назад

Just to be clear: This is a Bee Gees song that Al Green later covered. If you're going to delve into early Bee Gees, here are a few must-listens: "Words," "To Love Somebody," "Massachusetts," "Lonely Days," to name a few. To some of us, their pre-Saturday Night Fever stuff is SO much better! The voice singing lead at the beginning of this song is Robin (the one on the left in the album cover seen in the image on screen). There are parts that Barry sings lead. To hear Al Green at his best, listen to him doing "Let's Stay Together." One of the greatest R&B songs ever recorded. Classic.

@susieq9801 Год назад

Actually Robin is the ONLY BROTHER with vibrato and it is something you have or don't have. It is controlled by the central nervous system on the vocal chords and is a rapid fire alteration in PITCH like AC current. He can go from A to A# to A to A# to A in a millisecond and doesn't even try to. It's natural. Barry uses tremolo which is singing a note in a single pitch but varying VOLUME. They are totally different but can be mistaken for the same thing. Tremolo can be learned. Vibrato cannot be learned. All three could sing falsetto, "false voice", which is singing unnaturally high above tenor for a man. Yes, Barry said Robin had a gift and it took him no effort to sing like he did. Many singers copy Barry's falsetto and tremolo by his own admission but nobody can cover Robin's iconic leads and avoid trying.

@@susieq9801 interesting... whether you can develop it or not seems debatable. A simple search around shows classes and trainng to develop it if you don't have it (easier when younger of course.)

@susieq9801 Год назад

@@trinkab - It is "debatable" I suppose but any debate can go both ways, aye or nay. A pure natural vibrato is a gift in the opinion of many who analyze voice. Barry said Robin had it with no effort at all. I don't believe Barry ever claimed to have vibrato in his own voice. Never heard it in Maurice's or Andy's voices either although both had lovely voices. Someone who consciously attempts to learn it will never have the same quality as someone with a pure natural vibrato. I can't carry a tune in a bucket and no amount of voice lessons will ever make me Linda Ronstadt. I wish! Just like taking guitar lessons won't make everyone Eric Clapton. 😁

Robin Gibbs vocals stood out even in the Bee gees Harmony. There's two terms you can apply to his style of singing, vibrato or, tremolo. Which is a very fast repetition of a single note to produce shivering and a shaking effect. Robin does it effortlessly. It sounds as if he's singing in front of a slow spinning fan. Other songs that feature his unique vibrato are, I've got to get a message to you, I started a joke, odessa, lamp light, saved by the bell, and my favorite by Robin, Massachusetts.

"I Started a Joke" 1968 by the Bee Gees with Robin in lead, is a beautiful yet melancholy ballad about someone who's said something regrettable.
