FIRST TIME HEARING THE BEE GEES "JIVE TALKIN'" REACTION | Asia and BJ

[@timpafundi6321]

My childhood was right in the 70’s. For awhile, you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing a song by The Bee Gees or their younger brother Andy Gibb. They are the soundtrack to the 70’s for sure!

[@stephanim2436]

Ikr! 💯💯💯

[@GrimrDirge]

I was born in 78, and the backlash started before I was aware, so I didn't discover disco until the mid-90s when people forgave it for being so overplayed. Now I love it.

[@lisaheathcock7924]

Gotta educate the young ones!! 💜🔥🤘🥰 I was born in ‘68 so ya… this was my childhood as well!! Great times!! 💜

With you, Tim - I was born in '60 - so 70's was totally my "era" :)

Can we just take a moment to give a shout out to brother Maurice on that bass?

ABSOLUTELY

YES. That bass line is freaking AMAZING. & with him so cool in those shades...

You can’t help but move when listening to The Bee Gees! Maurice was jamming on the bass!!

[@bernakeene126]

The Bee Gees literally wrote hundreds of songs for themselves and many many other artists!! They are Legends and the harmony they produce is truly astounding! This is a deep deep rabbit hole that you will love!!!

[@catladygoddess]

This song just makes me smile. I grew up listening to the Bee Gees before, during and after disco. 🔥

[@katie-didellis2437]

I am reading the comments while listening to the music then came across yours. I suddenly realize I too was just sitting here smiling. Their music did that to you.

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

I remember "jive turkey". BJ is going back to the times of "Sanford and Son" and "Good Times".

I can hear George Jefferson (Sherman Helmsly) calling any number of people jive turkeys. Great times.

Bee Gees are Harmony LEGENDS! Please consider my favorite song by them - Lonely Days! Another group that harmonizes like no other.... CSNY

[@GinMae]

Thank you, Prone! Lonely Days is awesome -- I also really like their early stuff - especially if it features my favorite: Robin...

[@drakeswarchannel2530]

[@arautus]

Lonely Days came out in 1970. I remember liking it a lot, and I had no idea who sang it.

[@mikefixx7177]

Its nice to see the younger generation like the 70s and 80s music ! People today don't know what they are missing .

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

In their Broken Heart documentary Barry said they went over the same bridge everyday on the way to their studio In Miami, and the bridge made the same click click sound everytime. That beat stuck in Barry’s head, and the song Jive Talkin was born! The BeeGees are everywhere right now-all age groups. They’re everything!

[@andymcgill354]

That's right they were going to the criteria studios in Miami

[@peanutpaul]

Too Much Heaven - Best Bee Gees song for sure!

[@theNOVEMBERman1116]

Oh yea we jamming now dope reaction some other great songs by the bee gees stayin alive, night fever and how deep is your love

[@shadowbannedmel]

There it is, one of my favorite song arrangements and probably my favorite Bee Gees song! Thanks for doing this! You really are tapped into the 70's BJ! Love it.

[@dannwalker9865]

Yay!! My favorite Bee Gee's jam 🎶🎵 You can't hear this and NOT want to dance your ass off... or go roller skating😉 ❤❤🔥🔥🎶🎵

[@grahamcheadle5664]

The Bee Gees although a fantastic in their own right , they thought of themselves first as songwriters ( according to the Bee gees themselves). these are just some of the songs they wrote and recorded for other people . Chain reaction ( Dianne Ross)- Heartbreaker ( Dionne Warwick)- Love me ( Yvonne Ellerman)-If I cant have you (Yvonne Ellerman) Emotion ( Samantha Sang) Hold on to my love (Jimmy Ruffin) Woman in love (Barbara Streisand )- Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers Dolly Parton) Grease (Frankie Valli ) Woman in Love ( Barbara Streisand) More than a woman (Travaris) . There are others that can be added to this list.

[@imtherapycat]

Thanks for reacting to this one! I remember dancing in the club to The BeeGees - and this was a song that got everyone on the floor!

[@bettyartis3648]

So many people have stolen/sampled from the Bee Gees it's crazy! Maurice Gibb was underrated as a bass guitarist and came up with that terrific bass line.

[@natashyahendrix2]

Thank you for your reaction to the Song. A lot of influencers/reactors react to their late 70's songs which are great but the are so much more than that. They had platinum albums in the 60's, early 70's and had many hits in the 80's 90's and 2001.

The Bee Gee’s and Earth, Wind and Fire never adopted for the Disco craze, they just kept doing their thing.

There is a lesser known Bee Gees song called Spirits Having Flown, a great track!

[@descendantoffools9767]

Love You Inside Out is another great Bee Gees song that nobody seems to react to

[@hthuseby]

Wow, that is a real throwback for my high school days, they were a fun group to dance though! Come on BJ you Jive Turkey, start dancing man! Can tell you want to get out of that seat:) lol

[@rebeccawyse5562]

Hahaha

[@jimwagner9522]

Love them Bee Gees

[@stevenhiscoe7717]

You were right in that this really was the song that heralded their transition into what would turn out to be disco music.

[@Londoneye57]

The Bee Gees had their first number 1 in the UK in 1967 - they have been around since the late '50s and have definitely stood the test of time changing with each decade.

[@centuryrox]

A couple other Bee Gees suggestions that don't get NEARLY enough play: "Love So Right" "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" Both are slower songs, but with fantastic harmonies!

[@Thomas-aka-TomD]

"You Should Be Dancin'" Live!

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

Enjoyed Asia and BJ❤ Love the BeeGees so much! I listen to their music when I need to really chill my mind out and let angry feelings go. Working in the public tends to bring anger haha

[@georgiahouston8163]

love the Bee Gees!!

[@stevetanner3019]

This was the period where the Bee Gees transitioned from basically a ballad group to more of a dance oriented group. Still did great ballads though, but it was the dance tunes that made them the biggest selling group in the world during the second half of the 70’s

[@jayeginn5963]

The BeeGees were: guy on the right (lead singer) Barry Gibb born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Guy in the middle: Robin Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, guy on the left with shades on: Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (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. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. 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'. 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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX_QpWewiqmMl5I

[@svhirliwilliams8983]

Should watch the documentary, and want the movie "Saturday Night Fever". They had seven songs in the movie, but two were sung by others. They didn't consider themselves disco singers or writers and hated to be called that. I love their music and really like to listen to their interviews. They can really be funny. They were great, but Maurice, loved him, loved, loved him! R. I. P. MO, Robin, and Andy.

[@plotmaker]

BJ: "You're bloviating" Love it! 😂

[@stephanim2436]

I really don't know HOW anyone cannot LOVE the BEEGEES tbh!.

[@vandoraginther6421]

I love the Bee Gees the best group ever. They have such a big variety of music. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. They have over 1000 songs. Try... Too much Heaven for a real treat.... To love somebody.... Staying Alive.....Nights on Broadway....Night Fever.... How Deep is your love.... Tragedy....Alone ....One....How can you mend a Broken Heart... Wedding Day....Happy Ever After....Baby as you turn away.....Come on over..... and many others Subscribed! Just a note The Bee Gees wrote music for lots of others. Islands in the Stream sung by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers was written by the Bee Gees.

[@Teresia12]

Rock is the 70s groove. Disco was the stepchild. ✌ But you can't deny their talent.

[@GS-xt8fu]

That beat that you hear in the very beginning kind of sounds clickety-clack. They were crossing a bridge and the noise that the tires were making going over the metal grates is what Barry incorporated. True.

[@Zlata1313]

Bridge in Miami. They drove across it everyday leaving Criteria Studio.

[@dortheychastain2195]

The Bee Gee's rabbit hole is one of the deepest and eclectic in genre's you'll ever find. Robin (d. 2012), Maurice (d. 2007) and Andy (d. 1988) have all passed away. May they rest in peace. But Barry at 75 yo is going strong. Besides keeping the Bee Gee's music alive, he's writing and recording his new music. He released a new cd last year that hit #1 in the U.K. within mere days of it's release. He is also working with his sons on their music. The Bee Gee's music has spanned 7 decades.

[@rebeccawyse5562]

Love them...always have...thanx y'all

[@E.Kim_Style]

Two things...don`t be a Jive Turkey, you better listen to the Bee Gee`s-"Too Much Heaven". The Best!! And, if you like Steve Perry as much as you said you do in your Live session last week...you have to listen to his solo song..."Foolish Heart". A must! Don`t let me come back here and call you Jive Turkeys if you don`t listen to those two songs!! Jive Turkey! was a common 1970`s phrase. Watch almost any `70s show and you`ll probably hear it. "Starsky & Hutch"; "Good Times"; "Kojak"; "The Jeffersons"; etc...

Two more Bee Gees songs for your playlist Asia. LOVE SP RIGHT and NIGHTS ON BROADWAY. These two represe6some of the last hits before their domination of the disco era I'm the 7o's. If fact, one song from their album, CHILDREN OF THE WORLD would be included on their biggest album. The Soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever includes many of their greatest hits including YOU SHOULD BE DANCING. Get ready to put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip as you move and groove to music made for you to dance, dance, dance. C'mon, Asia ! Get up and Boogie. Also, there is also a song by the great Ohio Players called, JIVE TURKEY.
