BEE GEES / SAMANTHA SANG - EMOTION (1978) | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@LillyMarz777]

It is a woman. Samantha Sang. Bee Gees wrote it and sing back up. They recorded their own version years later.

[@TheBrownlj]

Written by Barry and Robin, but just Barry in the background vocals

[@yvette9181]

I'm so sad that this was your last Bee Gees song...4 months ago 😥 I think next up should be Fanny (Be Tender With My Love). It's a freaken masterpiece!!❤❤❤

[@lynnnguyen7150]

Bee Gees -" Love So Right"

[@rwilson7197]

So right. I have respect for other genres. The BeeGees deserve and finally got MOUNDS of respect.... several Hall of Fames and lifetime awards! Love them!❤❤❤

Samantha Sang is the artist’s name. She is an Australian singer. The Bee Gees wrote and sang backup on this song. They also sang their own version but this is the version released which went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978

[@TheBrownlj]

[@AlamoDame7]

No question that the Brothers Gibb transcended music genres and taste shifts as evidenced by their being recognized for their songwriting "officially" when they were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in1994. They also were awarded numerous other writing awards by many countries-- in Europe, UK, etc.-- as early as in Australia when Barry Gibb was 17.

[@carollittle1059]

Bee Gees also wrote Woman in Love for Barbara Steistand

[@TheBrownlj]

Written by Barry and Robin.

[@timetravellingone]

As well as "Guilty" "What kind of fool" the whole album was produced by Barry

[@kthor]

@@timetravellingoneGuilty was written by all 3 but What Kind of Fool was written by Barry & Albhy Galuten. The album was actually produced by Gibb-Galuten-Richardson production team, Barry's crew!

[@dorothyward3234]

What a beautiful song with Barry singing in the background, great music from back in the day. Thank you for reacting

[@annemaclean6634]

Barry and Robin Gibb wrote this song, Emotion, for the Australian singer, Samantha Sang who of course is singing it here, and Barry Gibb is featured singing the chorus. The Bee Gees recorded their own version of the song in 1994 as part of an album called Love Songs, which was never released, but it was eventually included on their 2001 collection titled Their Greatest Hits: The Record. For the Bee Gees themselves I grew up with their music and remember so well songs from the 1960s like Massachusetts, I Gotta Get A Message to You, Words etc. I love lots of their songs but a favourite from their later era (I've got it in the car actually!) is This is Where I Came In (2001) and it's from their 22nd and final studio album of the same name. The Bee Gees were an amazing, talented band of singers and songwriters and their catalogue of music is phenomenal. Thanks so much for this reaction, guys, take care now and please keep safe. 👍❤

[@KandKs_GG]

Anne, I would love to have the Bros react to some of the BeeGees' earlier songs you've listed! But especially, Massachusetts.

[@annemaclean6634]

@@KandKs_GG Hi Elizabethe, I'd love that too, I think the only early one they've done so far is I Started a Joke, which was from 1968. But yes, the early ones I've mentioned are so familiar and just lovely songs. Others include New York Mining Disaster 1941 and To Love Somebody, in other words, these are all pre-disco songs! 😊😊

The Bee Gees have their own version of this song without Samantha Sang...and it's epic.

[@delenelewis9024]

They did it in the style of the Bee Gees and, of course, the Bee Gees wrote the song and sang some backup, but the primary singer was Samantha Sang. The Bee Gees also have their own version, but this is Samantha with Bee Gees singing in the background. And time for more Bee Gees! Don't let it go too long between you reviews of Bee Gees, please! Thanks for the fun reviews.

[@kthor]

It was written by just Barry & Robin....with only Barry on backup vocals.🎶

[@kathieovercash8414]

Fun facts. None of the brothers ever learned to read music. They always had the music down and recorded and then wrote the song. Barry and Andy were 12 years apart but enough alike Barry said it was like having a twin. He and Andy even had identical birthmarks.

[@richmayes8451]

The Bee Gees were well known for writing songs for other artists and providing backing vocals. Some examples you should check out are Woman In Love by Barbara Streisand, Chain Reaction by Diana Ross, and a lesser well know song, Buried Treasure or Eyes That See In The Dark, both by Kenny Rogers.

[@kthor]

Barry co-wrote this with Robin, but only Barry's singing harmony & backing vocals. Barry also wrote the others, with the twins helping on some. And only Barry sang backing vocals on those you listed.🎶

[@56music64]

Samantha and the Bee Gees knew each other from the Brisbane music scene. Barry's writing is on another level, the line "I cry me a river which leads to your ocean" is incredible. I personally like to think his meaning is that the person being sung about is a heartbreaker and many other past lovers have cried for them, also, to create an ocean. Brilliant

[@Zlata1313]

@56music Emotion was actually written by Barry and Robin.

Song written by Barry and Robin. Samantha Sang was an Australian singer who Barry had worked with before. The background vocals are just Barry. He wasnt that young, it was around the same time as Fever.

[@janeenbarker4851]

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite Bee Gees songs. The lead was sung by Samantha Sang a female for sure. As a matter of fact they wrote this song for her and it became a big hit. Later on the Bee Gees recorded this themselves and it was on one of their albums. Robin and Barry trade off on the lead and it is done beautifully which is why it is my favorite. I hope you give it a listen if you truly want to hear the Bee Gees do their song to perfection. Barry is the only one who sang harmony with Sang. The Bee Gees version was on Their Greatest Hits album in 2001.

@@janeenbarker4851 I know, I grew up with them, starting in the 1960s, they were often on Top of the Pops in the UK, and often at No 1 needless to say! Then of course there was the disco era with all the Saturday Night Fever music and then post- disco! They were so versatile and great songwriters, they wrote songs for loads of singers. For example, I was having a quick look on Google and I didn't realise that they wrote Islands in the Stream for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Chain Reaction for Diana Ross and Grease, the title song of course for the movie Grease - it was sung by Frankie Valli. I love all these songs and of course they wrote many more, their talents were limitless.

This song never fails to instantly transport me back to my hometown, Jr. Highschool, 8th grade. Me and my friends used to sing this, I sang Samantha's part. Bros, this was more midpoint in the BeeGee's career, coming out of their Disco phase. Samantha Sang was also an Australian artist. Some of her other hits were, You Keep Me Dancing, and In The Midnight Hour. She had a soft, breathy, ethereal vocal tone that lent itself very well to this BeeGees collaboration.

@jow smith you're correct. I didn't see the movie at the time, and, not having that purely disco sound, guess I didn't remember it even being in the movie.

[@M00159]

@@KandKs_GG Yes, The Stylistics and a lot of groups like them , Motown groups , are often overlooked on reaction channels, including this one. And it’s some of the best music we’ve ever had. I think only the better paying patrons must get their requests honored. It’s a shame because these guys are missing out. I’ve also asked for them to react to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and their classic song, The Love I Lost. Or Donny Hathaway and his song, A Song For You. But no luck. I’ve stopped making requests.

[@KandKs_GG]

@CairoFred yes. Though not Motown, The Stylistics, as well as others you named, were part of what was known as The Philly Sound, and included others such as The Spinners, The O'Jays, Lou Rawles, Billy Paul, and Miss Patti LaBell to name just a few of the biggies. To be fair to the Bros, they kind of have to go where the numbers are with their reactions. If not many others second, or even see, your suggestion comment(s), they'll go with the Lots Of Likes rather than the One Or Two Likes. I think they're already taking some heat for reacting to Disco, Soft Rock, and Easy Listening. Why, I saw one comment saying they should "go back to their (hard rock/prog/metal?) roots." I couldn't help thinking, "Dude, have you NOT seen their stacks of early BeeGees (et.al.) reactions???" in response to THAT. Patrick & George are, if nothing else, very eclectic in their tastes! These guys are not genre limited; it just has to be quality sounds by musicians of the highest caliber, regardless of the genre. I'm willing to bet though, that they're actually listening to much more than response numbers dictate they react to on the channel.

For this track, Just Barry did harmonies. Yes, robin and Barry wrote it. This is documented. His brothers weren't available to do harmony duty so Barry worked with samantha in Miami. For the other version of the song with just the brothers, they all did harmonies and Robin answers Barry's " so where are you now?"
