Bee Gees - My Old Man's A Dustman (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@kathieovercash8414]

They started writing their own songs very young. Here's one of them, Three Kisses Of Love.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for that recommendation!

[@tinakeith5822]

That’s the first song Barry wrote I believe.

[@tinakeith5822]

That’s Robin who is adding the comedy! Robin wiped his hand on Maurice’s vest. Their mom made their outfits.

[@sallyatticum]

Robin was always a ray of sunshine!

My mom loves Bee Gees and they’re all she listens to, being in the car with her is like being at one of their concerts 😅

[@sallyatticum]

I love to watch these old Bee Gees performances, along with young Osmond Brothers on Andy Williams Show in the 60s. Sublime harmonies all around. Terrific comedic performances.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing to see these!

[@kathieovercash8414]

They started performing when Barry was 9 and the twins were 6. The group BeeGees was established in 1958. That's the year their baby brother Andy was born. He had a great solo career. First 3 songs his number one. Please react to Andy Gibb on the Midnight Special singing, I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. This song was his first release.

They started so young, and continued through the decades, as music styles changed, they would change to keep current. They are definitely the G.O.A.T. writing so many songs for so many artists, as well as all that they recorded. Barry is the last surviving BeeGee.Maurice(pronounced Morris), and Robin have left us. The youngest brother, Andy, passed quite a while ago, and was a star in his own right. They have a sister who is still alive, I believe. I'm not sure if she followed down the same musical path as her brothers, but I do believe she could sing. Thank you Saeed !! This is one big rabbit hole you could get lost in. 😊

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing some info! Enjoyed the songs i have heard so far, so will be exploring more. Have a great day, Deborah.

What a find! Lonnie Dunnigan performed it first, remembered it as a young child in England . Turning 69 next week.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Was really great to get to see this. Glad it was preserved and uploaded to youtube. This is history.

This was Brian Henderson's Bandstand from Australia as opposed to American Bandstand 👍🏻

Its so fun to watch young Bee Gees.

[@russellkaplan1818]

Lonnie Donegan was a big influence on the Beatles

The first part of the Bee Gees career, the 60s, is absolutely fabulous! There are at least a dozen classic singles from that time. Up until the mid 70's really. The disco era was okay, but the singer songwriter days are unparalleled, in this geezer's opinion.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will look some of them up!

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

They started performing as the Bee Gees in 1958. There is actually a video of them performing Time is passing by in 1960. Love your reactions ❤Started singing harmony in 1955 when Barry was 9 and the twins were 6. Barry started writing songs at age 8 and his brothers joined in as they got older. All 3 great song writers, singers and producers.

The 3 kisses is another younger Bee Gees alsoWine and women,. Thankyou for reacting to this amazing group. You have 5 decades to look at.

I really like those fromt he early days and also "I Was A Lover, A Leader Of Men".

The unsung heroes of this world! It was marvelous to see and hear them perform at this age. Definitely will look up some more from this era. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Belgium.

[@rwilson7197]

They are so cute here! Barry was 3 years older and set a good example of working hard and not clubbing!❤

[@susieq9801]

Robin was a recluse and hated the nightlife and clubbing according to his brothers. Doubt any of them were "clubbing" at this age. Mo was the party boy.

[@rwilson7197]

@susieq9801 Yes! And on a Jay Leno or Mike Douglas show years later the twins tease Barry and explain that Barry's idea of a good time was draining & filling up the pool, and watching the streetlights change. 😄 He liked to stay at home and enjoy his family.❤️

Love your genuine enthusiasm and reactions. Andy Gibb the youngest was a successful solo artist while Lesley their sister and the oldest sibling performed briefly with Barry and Mo in the 60's when Rob left the group for a short while.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Enjoyed this a lot! Thanks for sharing some info. Learning a lot 😃

[@nelerhabarber5602]

@@SaeedReacts. Lesley (two years older than Barry) could also sing, but she didn`t like to become a singer. She married in Australia, has a dog breeding business and had 7 or 8 children. Barry said in an interview he doesn't know exactly how many children she has, he thinks 7, but she could be pregnant again right now!😂 The brothers are also great comedians, there are some videos on KZbin just about their humor, like Gotcha, funny moments, a fun version of their song In the morning...!

[@teresacartwright5406]

This song was originally by Lonnie Donegan in 1960. I always loved their older songs (especially "Massachusetts" - a rare acoustic version : kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5LVXoGAatedjZIsi=nal2OOK-JYaYlCTM). The only surviving brother now is Barry (the oldest). Rest in peace Maurice, Robin and Andy (Andy wasn't in the Bee Gees but was a solo act and passed much too young).

[@deepbluehue3]

I read up on younger brother Andy's later days ( as I'm typically curious about those things ) But don't want to add it here as everyone is so positive in comments ....~ Lot's of insight in comments ! After all , WHO a person WAS is really about HOW they lived / what they contributed ... and not how it ended . I love this performance ; it's so Vaudevillian ! Thanks for this reaction !

[@SaeedReacts.]

Well said there! Thanks for offering me that perspective. And also for recommending this one 😄

They moved around a lot because their father couldn’t keep the rent paid, but he managed to bring home a tv when Barry was about 8. They said Barry quickly grew square eyes, fascinated with the entertainment. He saw an entertainer (possibly Tommy Steele), pointed at the tv and said “That’s what I’m going to do.” One neighborhood girl tells a story of their parents frantically knocking on doors looking for Barry. They found him on the loading dock at the closed ice cream factory belting out Home, Home On the Range to the empty back lot… rehearsing for his future career. Their father (a drummer and band leader when not driving a bread truck or working on the ferry) managed to scrape up enough for a used guitar for Barry’s 9th Christmas. Maurice said Barry told them he was going to be a pop star when he grew up, and he asked if they could be pop stars, too. Barry said yes, and Barry was the big brother, and he knew everything, so they never doubted. They had natural three part harmonies - probably from their mother’s side of the family, and because they had musical parents, they had a lot of support. At 12 and 9 years old, they became the sole breadwinners for the family… still moving constantly because their father (now managing them, including performances in adult clubs) didn’t pay the rent. None of the four Gibb boys sat at a school desk past 14 years old! They had a dream and talent and an unparalleled work ethic. The earliest surviving video is from shortly after they were “discovered” from 1960 TIME IS PASSING BY - one of Barry’s songs. They were little pros already. It’s fascinating!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for sharing this. What a story. At that young they were providing fo the family. Very fascinating!

[@dp3396]

One writer described it as a sort of parent-child role reversal, with Barry becoming the stabilizing force for the family beginning at that point. There are more interviews of their parents than for most entertainers. Their mother said in one interview that everybody calls Barry with their problems, and Barry knows what to do. One of her recurring stories is that she had to wash and iron 28 white shirts per week for them and their father, and that Barry didn’t like for her to send them out to the cleaners, because they used too much starch. My guess is that Barry also knew they couldn’t afford to send out, didn’t like the constant moving, and was being the responsible decision maker. in 1979, at the height of their career, they toured for the summer with their wives and children, parents, mother’s mother and sister, and Andy appeared at at least one show. Their father was part of the sound crew. He was living his own personal dream through his boys. Barry settled in Miami in the mid 70’s, has been married to Linda for over 50 years with 5 children together, and still lives in the same home. No more moving around. He provided for his children the best of what they had (2 parent family and siblings), but the stability, roots, and education they had missed.

[@patriciatolliver4057]

Patty-You should check out the clip Time Passes By. Robin and Maurice are 9, and Barry is 12. The twins were so tiny in that one. I don't have the link, my apologies.
