Medley is a collection of songs all rolled into one. The first Song they wrote for someone else, is called Heartbreaker song by Dionne Warrick, she is 2nd cousins with Whitney Houston The second song called islands in the stream they wrote this song for Kenny Rogers and than it was changed to a duet with Kenny and Dolly Parton still the number 1 song by a duet in Country music.

[@susieq9801]

@@gregpek1624- "Mining Disaster" was written in 1967 during a power failure when it made them think of being trapped in a mine. It was shortly after the Aberfan mining disaster in Wales and probably on their minds. "Too much Heaven" was written in 1978 and the funds raised went to UNICEF. They did write "How can you men a broken heart" and "Lonely Days" the same day that they got back together in 1970.

Medley is a combination of songs, often parts of songs, as they did here. The 1963 Medley really showcases their stage presence at an early age. My favorite. In this medley, all songs were hits over the years. Robin sang many songs - you should try I Started a Joke from 1967 - or any live version. A beautiful song that never fails to bring a tear

[@mikewarker4445]

You have to do Words, the original with Barry and the one with Andy Gibb. You ll be amazed how much he sounds like Barry. What a loss at such a young age

[@AlamoDame7]

Robin sang lead in lots of their 1967-72 songs, as well as in 1987-2001 until Mo passed. Robin also had solo releases until his passing.

[@willow_wise]

They would often roll up several of their tunes and / or those written for others into a "medley". I beleive they did this because they didn't have time to do ALL the songs and this gave the audience a taste of the popular songs across various eras. I particularly like this version of "Too Much Heaven" in the lower register. Another great reaction!

[@wendysilva8749]

Love your reactions... medley just means a collection of their songs, little snippets. I saw them in 1975 at a small venue and they were GREAT! I have been following them since I was a teen, mid to late 60's, love love love them. Dolly & Kenny did Islands in the Stream, Dionne Warwick did Heart Breaker.

[@Texas_Love]

I wish I could have seen them live, I know it had to be so new and different and fun! Thank you!

[@robinpadilla6683]

You're absolutely right. They sound just as good live, including harmonies! Medley in this case means a collection of many of their songs that were hits over the course of their career. So yes, these are all their songs written by them. You're getting a preview of many of their songs. Alot of the early stuff featured Robin's vocals. Also this performance, as many of their live performances m, featured their humor.

Great song! Love the BGs singing Heartbreaker. Dionne does a gr8 job with it too.

[@L8terdays]

[@tomwareham7944]

A medley is a collection of songs . To hear Robin at his finest and solo look for an early version of his song I STARTED A JOKE its one of the saddest songs ever and yet is brilliant at the same time , I believe it was released when the group reformed after Robin went his own way for a while . Another medley to look out for is where they sing songs written for other artists I'm not sure which concert it's in but I'm sure some of the fans can tell you .

[@Beejay2946]

Having to explain to someone what a Medley is --is unbelievable.

[@dp3396]

I don’t hear I STARTED A JOKE as sad. I hear his clever humor. It’s like the song it self became the joke that made people cry. It’s just that he sings it so dramatically that it sounds sad, but how can you really take “I fell out of bed hurting my head” seriously? I love the 1989 live performance, but do agree that the later performances do seem sad because I know he died too young after years of illness.

[@susieq9801]

Robin wrote "Joke" in 1968, before the breakup. "Decades - The Bee Gees in the 1960's" said - "It has always been recognized as Robin's signature song and he is primarily credited it with its creation." Robin said the melody came to him "in one of those four engine prop jobs (over Essen Germany) that seemed to drone the passengers into a sort of hypnotic trance. The droning after a while took the form of a tune". When Barry was asked the meaning he said, you will have to ask Robin. To me it is a reflection of his personality. He always admitted to being a loner who had trouble communicating to people and the lyrics reflect that, at least to me. I joke and people cry. I cry and people laugh. He said the song was "spiritual" to him and would not try to explain it. I think it is a song about alienation.

Thank you! And thanks for the info!

[@susieq9801]

A medley is simply doing many songs but only segments of each. Necessary because they had SO MANY hits to do them in their full versions. You get to hear each brother well and see their personalities in the medley as well as some of their older songs and those they wrote for others. The twins were jokers who always tried to crack up Barry, especially in interviews, while he tried to keep them in order. Consummate performers. Fingers in their belt loops (Robin) or in their pockets (M0) and beauty from their voices. This version of "Too much heaven" was in their natural voices, not falsetto. Three voices around one mic, a guitar and tens of thousands of people. Yes, they wrote every song they sang here. Robin's solo of "I started a joke" from this concert is astounding.

[@lizz5235]

When they were singing together they always stood around one mic. It started in the early days and continued all the way through their lives.

[@BuntyMcB]

A medley is simply a mixture of snippets from some of their songs. They wrote for Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger’s, Barbara Streisand, Dionne Warwick to name a few. Their catalogue is vast.

[@lindajames978]

And they also sung a beatles medley

[@MockingBirdCanta]

Yes, it's called "Medley" because it's outtakes from several of their songs. The first song on that video is "New York Mining Disaster 1941" Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song while sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued. According to the liner notes for their box-set Tales from the Brothers Gibb (1990), this song was inspired by the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales. According to Robin, there actually had also been a mining disaster in New York in 1939, but not in 1941, and he thought "New York" sounded more "glamorous". In the second and third verses, the lyrical lines get slower and slower, as if to indicate that life is about to end for the miners. On the second chorus, the drums get louder. On the second verse, when Robin sings the line "I keep straining my ears to hear a sound," a violin was featured in response on Robin's line.

[@Texas_Love]

That is amazing. Thank you for the history lesson. I need to listen again with this knowledge!

Yes! They write everything, for themselves and everyone else!! If you have time, watch the old 1971 live concert. It’s black and white, and crackly, but it’s the best in my opinion. You get to see how vivacious Robin used to be (he and Mo.) It is truly unbelievably wonderful! And all of those great old song have totally stood the test of time. A medley is usually a group of three songs just put together. They have soooooo many songs, sometimes it is easier to mesh a few together, rather than to try to play All of our favorites. None of us would ever go home! I have a new top 3 favorite! It’s called The Only Love. If you haven’t listened to it, you’re in for a treat! Another great romantic!

Prodigious songwriters including writing a couple of hits for Australian 60s pop star Ronnie Burns. The Bee Gees wrote and provided backing vocals on Ronnie's hit "Coalman" and Barry Gibb wrote and the Bee Gees provided backing vocals on another of Ronnie's hits "Exit Stage Right". We grew up watching the Bee Gees on Black and White TV in Australia in the early to mid 60s. They were quite often on Australian Bandstand. They are both on KZbin and it is interesting to hear them as backup singers.

[@AlamoDame7]

Thanks-- I always enjoy your commentary and reactions. The 1963 medley referred to several slected songs different from this 1989 medley, a term they used to mean several songs strung together with smooth transitions from one song to another. All the songs they sang in this 1989 concert were their compositions. BTW the "fine-tooth comb" line is from "Islands in the Stream" a colossal hit they wrote for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. The other one is from "Heartbreaker," a hit they wrote for Dionne Warwick (Whitney Houston's superstar soloist auntie). They also wrote for Diana Ross a hit "Chain Reaction", and for others-- Yvonne Elliman, Frankie Valli, Olivia Newton John, Samantha Sang, Sir Cliff Richards....

[@waynett8810]

They wrote several hits in the mid to late 60s where Robin took the lead many times. The first and second song were early beegees. After they started writing hits they stopped doing covers. But they were writing songs as youngsters! Per wikipedia: The Three Kisses of Love" is a song composed principally by Barry Gibb[1] and recorded by the Bee Gees. It was released on 22 March 1963 as the B-side of their debut single "The Battle of the Blue and the Grey". It was later included in numerous compilations. (A Medley is the name for a group of songs since you asked 9 mos ago!) They have recorded 30 thirty albums & are prolific songwriters!
