Andy Gibb (LIVE) | SOLID GOLD | “Shadow Dancing” (11/14/81)

[@joannepicciano2668]

In 1981 my late husband sold motorcycles at a Kawasaki dealership in Ft. Lauderdale FL, one Saturday in walked Barry Gibb and 2 others......low and behold he asked to rent a motorcycle for the day. The owner made an exception, and did him one better, he gave him a motorcycle to ride for free and asked that when they return he take a few pictures that he could keep on the showroom floor. Back then wearing a helmet was mandatory in Florida and Mr. Gibb said to my husband that he liked the anonymity riding a bike provided because nobody could ID him with the helmet on. My husband offered to give him an unofficial "tour" of the Ft. Lauderdale strip, and show him around a little.....Mr. Gibb took him up on it and the next thing my husband knew, he was riding his bike right along side him for the next 4 or 5 hours. When the "tour" was over and they all returned, Mr. Gibb kept his promise and gave out autographs and took photos with the staff of the dealership and the lucky customers that happened to be in there shopping for motorcycles. I believe Mr. Gibb offered to pay for the "rental" but his boss refused his money....I think it was 500 bucks or more, which in '81 was quite substantial. My husband told me he thought it was going to be just another Saturday work day......wow he was wrong and my husband would tell that story to anyone that would listen. My husband passed in 2012 and now I'm telling this story. :)

How amazing!!!

[@douglashelgesen3940]

What a fantastic young man and what a shame of his death at such a young age , so talented!

[@Jgeneraledger23]

What an incredible story! Barry seems like such a cool-cool and very approachable.

[@ClaudiaJuarez-nb8hr]

Wow❤😊so good history x real

[@mikimarkusen4108]

“Shadow Dancing”, “Too Much Heaven”, and “Tragedy” were all written and recorded in a single day….amazing

[@mikimarkusen4108]

I just watched them performing “Immortality” with Celine Dion. I was amazed at how beautifully all 4 of them sang this incredible song. I was blown away to learn that this song was written in 3.5 minutes. “New York Mining Disaster” took only 30 minutes. “I Just Want To Be Your Everything” for Andy to record took 20 minutes. I could go on and on about their amazing songwriting. I adore them ❤️

[@corineoudot7378]

Super voice Andy dommage qu'il y avait the voice de ses 3 brothers 🎶🎤👏👍.

[@CalTrask73]

Clearly, they had a certain formula that they implemented. Well, it works for me, luv all those hits and virtually all of their other ones too.

[@simonsmatthew]

True but I think there were others involved that were not co-credited. In particular their music of that time (1975-82) showed a command of harmony and counterpoint that suddenly ended as dramatically as it arose. That would suggest Blu Weaver, a keyboardist and classical music theory major during that very time was heavily involved. There is a video of him composing How Deep is Your Love on youtube.Unfortunately uncredited session musicians are a common phenomenon in the industry.

[@NagyZsuzsanna58]

Finding such a voice is like searching for a teardrop in the desert.

[@NagyZsuzsanna58]

I,m sorry I wrote stupid, but this is true for the search for truth.

[@websurfin9575]

How tragic that Andy was gone from the world at such a young age! What a talent.... & what a nice guy!

[@moonstars315]

They don't make them like this anymore, Andy was awesome, everything about him, I remember my older sister had his album, all the girls were in love with him, his life tragically cut short because his heart couldnt take the coke use anymore.. I don't think Andy intended to grow old and grey, if you notice each time he is asked about what he wants to do by time he's 50, he shrugs off or reluctant to answer, he was a star, he had made it, and he had to live with everything that comes along with that, including the stress.. I will never forget the late 70s and early 80s and pretending he was my boyfriend, listening to his hits, Rest easy, Andy!

[@wk1810]

"They don't make them like this anymore" girl, that factory closed down long ago!!

[@naokoasami2026]

Because he died young he’s forever young, sweet, beautiful and sexy❤ ❤ Maybe I wouldn’t be still so crazy about him if he had gotten old and looking totally different today….It’s ironic but that’s why they’re a star 😢🌟 ✨⭐️💫🌟✨⭐️💫BTW I was like 7 or 8 when I had crush on Andy❤😂

[@janecamilon489]

He was such a handsome young man and very talented. It is sad that he couldn't find someone to love him for himself and not because he was well known. I remember him saying that on a talk show. I know his drug addiction messed him up too. What a waste of an attractive and talented person. RIP Andy Gibb. 😢

[@farhanarahman9009]

Our Andy Gibb an international incomparable entertainer of the 20th century

[@peterrukavena4955]

I heard Andy sing this live in 1987 shortly before his death, he was as good as his brothers live, no BS. Still in tune in the same key as the original recording, nice rendition here, always liked Solid Gold, watched on WPIX back in the 80's in NY.

[@NickiSixx1]

Barry have always been my favorite but he have to share my heart with his little brother Andy, Barry’s mini me ❤️ And looking into anyone of the Gibb brothers eyes is is heaven and takes your breath away❤️❤️❤️

[@moonstars315]

haha, same here, I loved Barry, but Andy was my favorite! This stuff is Solid Gold!

[@nettiegurl]

THIS is what hooked me and my age cousin to Solid Gold when we were just 8 years old LOL - watching Andy Gibb strut down this walkway singing his big hit Hugely talented handsome sweet young man. Gone too soon.

[@josephinerichardson9663]

Just…ooh baby-Angel

[@jantimpani6154]

He had the higher voice. Miss him so much Just think what he would have become. he felt his brothers was the only success with his stardom. That’s not true at all. He had his own talent. They all were talented. BG/lover Andy lover all the way.

[@melissawilson7131]

Dear Micheal sending you Hugs And Kisses for posting these wonderful videos of Our Andy!! I would also like to see him with Madame I bet you have stories about that!! You got to tell us!!

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

You are very welcome, and thank you for your kind words. However, regarding Andy’s relationship with Madame - well, I could never speak about something so personal and private! 😜😂😜

[@paulsonj72]

@@bigeyezzzzzzz I love the bit where she wonders if he. Is an impersonator and when he rejects her she says it’s the real deal because no one else could reject her. :D

[@paulsonj72]

What was Wayland Flowers like on set. He was brilliant with Madame. And IIRC you were involved with the syndicated series with Madame. I have to be honest, I don’t remember that at all. I only found out about here on You Tube.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

@paulsonj72 Wayland was just as fun on the set as Madame was! 😆 And yes, I was "involved" in the show, "Madame's Place" - I composed the theme song!

Omg I just heard this on Walmart radio, lol. I was pre-teen when this came out! While everyone else was fawning over Shaun Cassidy (David was cuter anyway) I was head-over-heels for Andy 😍. Now I'm looking at this video wondering if anyone else thinks he looks like Hugh Grant?! 😂

Ahh, this is it. This is the song that did Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" in, that kept it at #2. I think if Andy had performed "Baker Street", it might have rubbed salt into the wound. He would have done a nice job of it, and I'm sure you would have written a nice arrangement of it, though.

Miért mivolta Baja?

[@signforu]

One of the very rare times that he actually sang live. Every other video on KZbin he’s lip syncing.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Actually, everything Andy sang as co-host of Solid Gold was live, and I ought to know because I was the Musical Director. I am Michael Miller and I arranged, rehearsed and recorded every solo and duet performance with Andy. So, if you want to hear more of Andy singing live, there are plenty of his live Solid Gold performances on this (my) channel.

Played golf with him in Sydney bybac pure chance k in 1980 on a cold winters morning...not a gad golfer and a gentleman..I was 13 years and was told who he was only after we returned to the clubhouse after 3 hours ...when his limo pulled up to take him to the airport.....I think he was playing the local arenas that past week and just wanted to get away early that Monday morning

[@QueenAlexis556]

He was in a relationship with Victoria Principal when this was aired

[@EricJaffa]

Was the band playing live or did the band make a tape?

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

I prerecorded my SOLID GOLD BAND the day before, and then Andy sang live to our tape.
