[@marie-christinescutt7888]

Your reaction Texas Love is the best I have ever seen you can't top smiling I really think the Bee Gees are the top band of their time, the top band. Super talent!!!

The Bee Gees can sing anything. God blessed these men with heavenly voices.

The Music of the Bee Gees makes me allways happy. Over 50 years. Nobody can switch there Voices like the Bee Gees. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet. ❤❤❤

[@marie-christinescutt7888]

agree they' must be aliens haha seriously my Mum is 88 bless and she remembers the Bees she still loves them. Their voices are pure it comes from nowhere. Remember Mozart his talent out of nowhere too I think the Gees come from the same plastic albeit a few hundred years later💗💖💓

This has remained my biggest Bee Gees' song since 1975. No other songs else beat the tune : )

[@joehouse3800]

The Bee Gees were some of the greatest songwriters on the planet!!!

[@queenslanddiva]

Robin Gibb had one of the finest voices of his generation. IMO he was the standout singer of the group, but I adore them all.

[@susieq9801]

Agree. Robin's voice was outstanding and totally unique.

[@flynntaylor5459]

They changed with the time in and out of every genre except maybe heavy metal... Country pop rock disco jazz 🎶 these guys were muti faceted openly diversified before most of there fellow artists at the time And they had enough creativity and talent to hold their own when the 80s and 90s came around. They were respected so much that they could finally explore their own interests in other musical sounds with songs like bodyguard fir whom the bell tolls etc... They were the complete package of musical innovation and genius.❤

[@TheNo1bucsfan]

My favorite song! Love when Barry and Robin go toe to toe on the high notes! So much talent!

[@lizz5235]

Maurice did his share of high notes you know! He had the highest voice on many of their songs, and his voice was not falsetto but a headvoice.

[@micheladonofrio2285]

They all go back and forth on the high notes. It is Maurice doing it when Barry is singing in chest voice.

[@roseblake5803]

Wikipedia says it’s Barry and Robin doing the Falsettos

[@micheladonofrio2285]

@@roseblake5803 I don't care what wikipedia says. If you watch the video carefully you see Barry and Robin singing in chest voice and hear (and see) Maurice doing the falsetto.

[@roseblake5803]

@@micheladonofrio2285 - They were just performing for the video. They never performed this song live because of the vocals being layered. Maurice does have a nice voice but he doesn’t do falsettos like the other two. Their harmonies are absolutely flawless.

[@michaelasay8587]

Maybe my fav song of all time...

[@MischaGER]

Fanny Be Tender is a genius masterpiece from the amazing Brothers Gibb - Sir Paul McCartney and Quincy Jones praise this song as the best RnB ballad what they ever heard in their live - no more to say when three magic voices at their peak are coming together 🔥

[@Texas_Love]

It really is incredible!!!

[@daletwin1]

I love The Bee Gees and so many of their songs but this is probably my favorite. of theirs which is saying a lot. Definitely in the top three. I knew what Quincy Jones thought about the song but I didn't know Paul McCartney felt the same way. Interesting. ( Sir Paul is my favorite performer of all time)

Well, it's August and this video is 9 months old. I happened on your channel when you were reacting to "Dancing". BeeGees and their music have carried me through some of the absolute worst moments of my life and I so appreciate your reactions to them that I have to subscribe. Thank you for being so honest with your facial expressions and comments. I just wish I had somehow let them know that they literally kept me 'staying alive' a couple of times over the years.

[@brendahipsher273]

One of the hardest songs for them to sing live. One of the greatest hits.

They never sang this live because of all the layering going on, it would have been impossible to do it any justice.

In the 70s there was so much music. With Rock and Pop a lot to listen too But The Bee Gees we’re bringing out the hits

[@flynntaylor5459]

This song should have been 7 mins. My God it's just perfect... Barry and Robin team up falsetto. Just ####### unbelievable!!! Bee gees were so diversified any genre and Barry wrote for so many famous artists too.

[@bettyartis3648]

They wrote the top selling country song of all time...Islands in the Stream for Kenny and Dolly. Wrote albums as well for Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross. Once you're down the rabbit hole...all I can say is Welcome.

After the 70s disco backlash for being too popular and successful they went behind the scenes and wrote and produced for others. Late 80s saw a comeback and again in the 90s. Now people are back to appreciating them with a whole new audience as well.

Posting this on every FBT reaction video: This song holds a special place for me. I was married and divorced twice before I met my current wife. I was SO afraid of taking the plunge and falling again. She promised me that she would never hurt me. We've been married 28 years.

Thank you! These legends will live on forever!

[@susieq9801]

The 1:25 part is Barry and Robin simultaneously. The dueling falsettos at the end between Barry and Robin is great, each one going higher. Maurice could sing falsetto or even low baritone. He had a great range and filled in any holes in the harmony. Although all had unique voices the familial tone often made it hard to distinguish who was singing what and they often sang at the same time.

[@lizz5235]

Maurice did not sing falsetto. Maurice had a headvoice which gave him a slightly better high note range and he sang many of the high harmonies.

[@negf22]

Even though they are showing Robin, it is Barry and Robin singing together, then Mo comes in on the harmony.

[@MimiinBama]

Awesome! Their mom told the story that when they were little she was in the living room of their house and heard them singing but thought the radio was on. Their dad did too.

This one of my favorites! They got slammed during the disco peak. So they went to producing and writing for Barbara Striesand, Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers, and Diana Ross. There was a movement called disco sucks and the mob punished them. I don't care, I think they are so special.

[@waelomar7065]

Been a fan of the brothers for almost 40 years to tell you the truth I could have never imagined that the Bee Gees got this unfair review by the end of the 70s, however they were and will be one of the greatest acts of all time.

[@haroldsanteliz6153]

Maurice (. The man in the middle ) Although he was on the left hand side side all the time , he was a multi talented guy who play the guitar , Piano , Organ, these 3 guys were consummated musicians and Maurice was always the hidden jewel among his brothers , he was the brains behind “ Nights on Broadway “ A very difficult Rock Master Piece, If you haven’t played that song play it please , it’s another one that came out of the brains and hearts of these British Genius’s Composers , they were really Fantastic and Unique .

[@Networklady08]

Robin, he's mostly always in the middle, has a versatile range (they all do), so he is able to support & compliment both of his brother's voices very well, PERFECT harmony!!❤ Exceptionally, beautiful song

[@AlamoDame7]

In my top 3, easily. Thank you for the great pleasure of witnessing your sincere astonishment!! Maurice tells the us the source of the name "Fanny." They were staying in the same rental house on Ocean Boulevarde that RSO/Atlantic got for Eric Clapton months earlier. He famously urged the Bee Gees to move to the US to Miami for the fnatastic creative vibes the locale gave him. The BGs were going nowhere in England, so when they first moved to Miami to record at Criterion Studios, they stayed at that house. Their hired housekeeper named "Fanny" walked by their workroom, near the moment Maurice had asked Barry and Robin if putting a woman's name in the song would make it even better. Fanny was the lucky woman immortalized in song! The rest of the story went on (not from Maurice) that when the brothers finished with the song's demo, they played it for Fanny and she cried. BTW, Fanny passed away fairly recently, still famous for that honor.

[@Texas_Love]

Amazing story! That must have been so special for Fanny!

[@robertwilson5058]

I lived during this beautiful time of music. Sadly like so many of the other greats of the past, it was only after their passing that their true greatness was recognized.

I think maurice pink shirt with guitar is mr deep, Robin is middle and barry is mr shrieker..Wow what a fantastic superstar group

[@Julie-pc8ut]

So "Fanny" was their cleaning lady back in Miami in the 80's. This was a little tribute to her. This comment is from a little "old" white woman who now lives in Mississippi but I grew up in the Northwest of England where the Bee Gees were born. My fave group EVER!

Well Texas Love you were certainly having a great reaction to this song - they are without doubt the best group for harmonies you will EVER hear.

P.s. they themselves didn't have country hits, but they wrote come on over that olivia newton john had a hit with, Conway Twitty took their song rest your love on me to #1, and they wrote islands in the stream for Kenny Roger's and dolly Parton. Barry performed at the grand ol opre after Robin died, and barry did the album greenfield, with country stars covering a bunch of bee gees hits, so country has been pretty accepting of them.
