Beatles Medley - Bee Gees | REACTION

[@pamelahunter987]

The Bee Gees could sing anything and do a fantastic job. They were and are the best, to me. ❤ them so much .

[@maxmirni2768]

beegees - the true kings

[@nthdegree1269]

They loved the Beatles. They sound fantastic.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Haven’t heard this before The Bee Gees are fantastic no matter what they sing ! Love Robins voice on this one.

[@susieq9801]

Especially "This Boy".

[@luvutons411]

Definitely agree...👍🎤

[@lesliepartridge9895]

These guys knew all the Beatles harmonies long before this show - just like us older folks knew all the words! Great medley…

[@nelerhabarber5602]

2 guitars and 3 voices, nothing else and absolutely perfect! Try the midnight special with the Bee Gees, glen Campbell and Willie Nelson!

[@natlee8947]

They did a great job ! I ,like many others don't care for other artists doing Beatle covers ,but they sound so good ! Thankyou Jamal.

[@chrismoore58]

The vocal precision was tight. All three. Excellent.

[@lauriebarnes2999]

Jamal, the expression on your face when they started this medley was just priceless. You felt the same way we all did when we first heard this wonderful medley released earlier this year by The Midnight Special. I didn't know that they had done this and was totally awestruck when I first heard it. Just think about it. All they needed were two guitars accompanying their three perfect voices to recreate those fantastic Beatles songs. Both groups had similar accents since they didn't grow up too far away from each other. Even though our Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man their parents were from Manchester which is only a few miles away from Liverpool, the Beatles' home town, and they did in fact return to Manchester for a few years before immigrating to Australia in 1958. I listen to this medley on a daily basis and, since March when it was originally released, it has gotten more than one million views. Quite impressive! I'd love for you to check out Robin singing lead on "Oh! Darling" from the 1978 "Sgt. Pepper" movie. I think you'd enjoy it and won't be disappointed.

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Great choice Jamal, never knew this existed.not many have voices or talent to do this.😂❤

[@Debcatawba]

Ok, truth be told I am a huge Beatles fan, a huge Bee Gees fan, yet I never knew about this tribute. Thank you for finding this gem and bringing it to us. I’m a baby boomer and I love to learn something new every day.

[@pennymcneela7095]

The Beatles must have been proud of the Bee Gees doing a tribute of them...❤

[@kevindirito2919]

The Bee Gees grew up listening to the Beatles and were a major influence on their music.

[@oneday458]

They have the perfect accents to be singing these songs. This is amazing.

[@kathystammen8774]

Robin kills it on THIS BOY 😝

[@LizzieRD]

Phenomenal vocals. Such an thrill when the Bee Gees cover anything. They show respect. And no no one else could do that petfect cover of five or six Beatles songs Live

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

There are no words for the talent of Barry, Robin, and Mo. Just them and acoustic guitar. I am a total Barry girl, but Robin was spectacular on This Boy.

[@LindaSmall-vb9ls]

Thank you Jamel, I've never seen or heard the Bee Gees sing Beatles music. I really enjoyed that.

[@pamalaalford1081]

As with anything the Bee Gees did, this was fantastic!! They didn't try to change anything, they played and sang just like the original ... and they sounded so close to the Beatles. I had never heard this befire - thanks for finding and sharing. I sure miss your music days! God bless you.

[@DeidreL9]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. I love them!❤️❤️❤️

[@traceyraffle6675]

An amazing tribute from one iconic group to another....love this :)

[@sodoffbaldrick3038]

This is fascinating! I never realized that the Bee Gees ever performed covers of The Beatles. Usually, I object strenuously to anybody but The Beatles doing their music, but Barry, Maurice, and Robin are nailing this! The only other group I like hearing doing Beatles music is Aerosmith.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

Its not a cover, they hosted the midnight special for a longer time, singing there their songs, songs from other artist with them together ans also songs from others!

[@susieq9801]

@@nelerhabarber5602 - If someone sings songs that were made famous by someone else, they are considered covers.That's what "cover" means. There are tons of "cover bands" of the Bee Gees, Beatles, Elton John, AC DC, Led Zeppelin and other groups. Many performers "covered" Bee Gees songs. If the original performer who did the song is not the one singing it is a cover. Earlier in their career they did other Beatle covers like"You won't see me" and "Please please me".

[@TheDivayenta]

BeeGees starred in the musical film, “ Sgt Pepper’s “ - so they’ve sung a lot of Beatles songs! ❤

[@puddysue]

Jamel... I am ecstatically happy you are once again doing your music reactions. Missed them so much!!!!!!!!! These make my day!

[@jannic_54]

Hi Jamel Thanks for bringing this👍 Oh my word - Bee Gees and Fab4 Those were the days - I miss the sixties/seventies, my teenage years and the epic musical heritage from these giant gentlemen. Maurice, Robin, John and George, may you all forever rest in peace.☮️❤️🎸

That was quite enjoyable! I had no idea they ever did this performance. Such great acoustic sounds, and these guys were top notch unplugged types. They knew those songs like they were their own.

[@peggypaden3387]

No one else but the Bee Gees! They come from the same roots, just 10 years behind. Thank you for posting this. Outstanding!!!

[@robertman6258]

True except they were 5 years behind (Beatles debut on Ed Sullivan Show 1963, NY Mining Disaster big on US Radio 1968) But both were great groups.

[@susieq9801]

@@robertman6258 - Maybe Peggy is referring to age. The twins were almost 10 years younger (9 1/2) than Ringo and still accomplished so much so young. Few actually consider how young they were. At 18 The Beatles were still playing in Hamburg's dingy clubs. The Bee Gees had their first UK #1 at 17/20.

They really admired the Beatles' sound and songwriting ability. The greatest music, that lives in our hearts.... young people showing so much love for, and interest in exploring their history. Warms my heart.

[@christiebond4299]

My cousin and I took my sister who was about 11 at the time to see the Bee Gees. We were really doing it because she wanted to see them. I liked the Bee Gees but I would have never thought to go to see them. But it was great. Live always makes a difference. And the icing on the cake was the Pointer Sisters opening. I think it was about 1980.

Really nice to see a group that can handle these Beatles tunes and do them justice with their great vocals. Bee Gees were beyond prolific writers and singers. As someone who grew up with the Beatles when they hit the USA, this is a great video - thanks Jamel!

Fantastic rendition! Perfection!

[@charlottedixon6628]

[@russallert]

The Bee Gees were originally from Manchester, which is not far from Liverpool, so they had essentially the same accent when they spoke or sang. Like The Beatles, The Bee Gees were also heavily influenced by black American R&B (and also tried singing in American accents with their Northern accents), so they were tapped into the same influences, and that makes their Beatles covers much closer in sound and spirit to the originals.

[@barriehull7076]

Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s.

[@nolaknowles9888]

The BeeGees and Peter Frampton starred in Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. There's a soundtrack. Also Aerosmith made an appearance.

just don't watch the movie you'll lose years off your life 🤣🤣🤣

[@nolaknowles9888]

@buzztp5119 I never said watch the movie. Lol, although I am still kicking and I saw it in the theater when it came out. Of course, my friends and I weren't watching for the music, exactly.

[@paulgarratt2634]

You unearthed a diamond Jamel. I remember both groups playing the clubs and halls of North West England in the 60's. Memories!

[@TheDivayenta]

Goes to show how much they were influenced by the Beatles. As Brian May of Queen said, “ The Beatles opened the door and we all just walked through”.

[@rwilson7197]

Back in the day, Seals & Crofts using backup tracks (because there are only two of them), the Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are some other groups that come to mind whose harmonies would do the Beatles justice. But the BeeGees' British accent make them next level GREAT at covering these early Beatles' songs!! I love this Midnight Special clip. Great Reaction!❤❤❤

[@patriciatolliver4057]

Patty-One thing is they are from the same part of England as the Beatles plus the Beatles were their idols. That was probably a joy for them to sing their idols music. I saw the Beatles live before they broke up. Took me right back to that night. You're right, it didn't get any better than that.

[@jimreid4367]

I find this a fitting tribute as The Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man less than 90 miles away from Liverpool . Makes you wonder if they hadn't moved to Australia when they were kids would they have still been musicians and maybe they would have took the ferry to Liverpool and played in the Cavern Club alongside The Beatles .

The Bee Gees were achieving their first world wide success about the same time that all of the "Paul is Dead" rumors were floating around. This lead to the fantastic rumor that the Bee Gees were the Beatles without Paul. Of course this was not true but you can understand it after listening to the Bee Gees' harmonies. Remember, this was during the era of radio and albums as the primary media sources for music so to the causal listener it might ring true.

[@markorlowski7069]

So happy to have been growing up during the time. Was 14 years old when The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. This video is just a great nostalgic moment.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

I don't know if i heard the beattles version of "i need you" when i was younger. Just listened to some of it. The difference is they have a harmonica or accordion or other noise at the end of each phase, which makes it a little bit funnier. The Bee Gees do it straight with guitars.

[@Kknightmcc]

They played the characters of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the movie with Peter Frampton.

Aerosmith covered "I'm Down" , "Helter Skelter", ( which are Paul vocals), and "Come Together". Stephen Tyler nails them, and like you said, if you didn't know these were Beatles songs, you'd think they were Aerosmith originals!

[@angelapietro4734]

They sounded so much like Beatles that Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler confirmed. sending out white label acetates to deejays and programme directors, hyping the market with advance copies of singles. “[‘New York Mining Disaster 1941’] In fact it started a mystery [in the USA] about us, because they started playing [it] and saying, ‘They’re this new group from England that begins with a B and finishes with an S’ so they all said, ‘Ah, it’s The Beatles, “It was good for us because … everyone thought it was The Beatles under a different name,” Robin added. “And all the deejays on radio stations in the US picked it up immediately thinking it was The Beatles, and it was a hit on that basis. It established us in those early years. It helped our following record which was nothing like The Beatles.”

[@lauriebarrett6789]

I'd highly recommend Emily Linge's cover of "Hey Jude". She's done lots of great Beatles covers.

[@dp3396]

They sang Alexander’s Ragtime Band on the Midnight Special and added in some comedy. It was one of the songs they sang in their shows as kids supporting their family. They did a great cover of Bob Dylan’s Blowin In the Wind live. They also did a medley including Lollipop, Bye Bye Love, Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen. Robin’s cover of Oh Darlin went to #2 in the late 70’s. I would say that they covered covers very well. Hope you will react to more.

[@johnlongenecker7779]

It's such a shame that only Barry is left of the four brothers. I always loved their harmonies.

Not Epstein, R. Stigwood, who worked with Epstein.

[@susieq9801]

Even early in their career when they were kids (the twins were almost 10 years younger than The Beatles) they also did Beatle covers like "Please please me" and "You won't see me". They were easily as good as or better than The Beatles vocally but had a trick up their sleeves that The Beatles did not have.....Robin's magnificent vibrato, most obvious in "This Boy". The Bee Gees medley of their own songs and a couple they wrote for others in 1989 in Melbourne during their "One for all tour" is terrific.
