Barry Gibb is the only Gibb brother still with us. RIP Andy, Robin and Maurice.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

They donated all proceeds from this song to UNICEF. Great singers, songwriters and people.

[@WyldPinky]

I actually have thison vinyl 😊

[@chrisoakley5830]

​@@WyldPinkyI have the 45 record of this song.

[@laminage]

Barry was heavily influenced by American R & B, most notably Motown, The Defonics, and Chi-Lites. Also they wrote To Love Somebody for Otis Redding but he died so they recorded it. The one person who influenced Barry to sing falsetto was Russell Tompkins of The Stylistics.

[@lynndally9160]

Live, 1 take, no autotune, no gimmicks, just pure talent...

[@kthor]

This is 27 tracks of three-part harmony, with just Barry on 18 tracks, and then him & the twins together on the other 9.

[@DellyDoo]

Uh no. Not even close. Look up the background to this song and stop making up lies.

[@anthonymendoza6926]

Incredible, especially back then. Pure pure talent. Shows you that auto tune isn't the answer to everything in music. It's heart, will, desire and passion towards there profession that counts....

[@TheBrownlj]

Nope its just a music video. Not live at all

[@bdwk-gmoneyglenn7502]

​@@DellyDoounfortunately its not live muti tracked and mostly Barry i can give the track break down if necessary didnt feel like typing that much but you can hear theirs way to much going on for even 3 great brothers as they were.

[@Ayala70]

Their catalogue is second to none! The disco was a very small part of their entire career. They have lots of R & B and soul songs like this one.

[@ShondraJenkins-hg3lm]

Everyone from Al Green to Destiny's Child. My favorite written by them is " How can you mend a broken heart " by Al Green. And my other favorite is " How deep is your love". Get Chills❤ Destiny's Child hit written by them is " Emotions". They were just Geniuses. Let's not forget " Islands in the stream" by Kenny and Dolly. They covered All bases.

[@VincentManiscalco]

They harmonized so well it sounds like one person !! These guys were amazing

[@lookin-up]

Nice to see 3 mature men who have the good sense to not stop the BeeGees in the middle of this masterpiece!! I appreciate your beautiful reaction!!!😊❤️

[@70sMusicLady]

Disco was a very small part of their music. Their first hits were in the 60s. Their last release was 2001, two years before Maurice died. All three could sing falsetto, but it was usually Barry. Maurice sings falsetto in the Midnight Special video of them singing "Nights on Broadway",

[@kathieovercash8414]

Barry was badly burned at 18 months old when he pulled a teapot over on to himself. He has a lot of scars on his chest. He spent months in the hospital because of the burns and then almost died again from infection. He didn't talk until he was three. Never stopped him from showing that chest. Impressive.

[@kennywilliams4346]

Never knew that 😢!!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

[@DellyDoo]

Love this song. Barry's falsetto reverberates through the decades of time.

[@tonyaristide2582]

Being a 70s rocker , zep etc..Bee Gees were so good you couldn't help but like them secret or out loud. Song still gives me chills. Best harmonies ever. They only did 1 disco album sountrack, worth going down their rabbit hole.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Tony, I’m with you 100% I’m a big Zep, stones, Allman bros fan etc. back in those days I was in junior high and if you openly said you were a Bee Gees fan you could catch a beatin for speaking such blasphemy. I could only listen to them in secret back in the 70s. It just wasn’t cool to be a Disco boy when you hung with the heads or rockers.

[@tonyaristide2582]

@@edwardcapobianco2975 exactly !

[@kathiek4239]

💯 lol. As a girl who liked to dance, you could get away with liking The Bee Gees. Still, I didn’t mention that I owned Bee Gees albums around my rocker friends. (Or that us girls also had the Andy Gibbs album. 😍) 🤘🫶

[@tonyaristide2582]

@kathiek4239 i didn't like Andy Gibb until I saw him on the Midnight Special, but then I again I had to keep that on the down low. He was actually a very talented musician as well .

The Bee Gees are the only group in music history to have number one hits in THREE DIFFERENT DECADES. Boom. End of comparison to anybody else for me.

[@ingridneumann8196]

I grow up with the best Group ever. Nobody can switch there Voices like the Bee Gees. And Barry's falsetto is not from this Planet ❤❤❤

I am very thankful for seeing older ppl react to actual vocals and music…

Shout out to the orchestra, they killed it too.

[@colleenmahony8803]

I cannot overemphasize how much we friggin loved Barry Gibb. He was so pretty it hurts. But the vocal skills of the brothers was always pretty amazing.

[@brandyhawkins2043]

Amen to all that!

South florida was all in for the bee gees... back in the day! Flavor rich and plenty of beautiful vibes

The perfection of savants born with perfect pitch! It’s amazing to think these men cannot read music and they were singing in perfect harmony when the twins were only 5 years old and Barry was 8! Truly a gift to music!

[@michaelfroien6775]

Exactly! Live 1 Take...No Computer Fake music..These are real musicians playin in perfect tune. AND The Bee Gees singing live! No Auto Tune B.S .!!

" Live 1 Take" Nope. The audio in the video is from the Spirits Having Flown LP which came out before they shot this video.

This was in time when you could take your girl and dance and romance her the music back then was so beautiful. The kids don't know what they missed so sad 😢

[@workingman6681]

I’m a head banger who loved The Bee Gees👍

[@50_Radz_Gaming]

And how many artists can do what they did back then: (1) Perform live without a backup track (2) Film the recording of a song in 1 take to perfection And (3) Stay relevant for so many decades. I’m 43 and grew up listening to a LARGE variety of music, and the Bee Gee’s are still my favourite of all time

[@TheBrownlj]

This is just a music video. It is not a live recording. Its a very complex song with many, many layers.

[@Coowallsky]

"(2) Film the recording of a song in 1 take to perfection" The audio in this video is from the Spirits Having Flown LP. The may have recorded what they sung in that studio but none of it is heard here. Also, "one take" has never been proven.

[@wintergirl8]

I don't know where this myth of the "live, one take" thing came from, but it sure has legs 😆😆 The concert you see here did actually happen, but the music you hear was recorded in studio. Many, MANY layers of vocals. The concert was a UNICEF benefit, and they knew it would be used to accompany the official single. That's why the stage performance and the studio recording are so perfectly matched. It was intentional.

[@Sandra6411]

Love your reaction. I grew up with The Bee Gees (and yes, I’m a Black female), and I had a mad crush on Barry growing up. Please also note that they wrote ALL THEIR SONGS too! More songs to react to by The Bee Gees: How Deep Is Your Love You Should Be Dancing Fanny be tender with my love Love So Right Jive Talking Nights on Broadway Tragedy More than a woman Love you inside out To love somebody Massachusetts Alone Lonely Days How Can you mend a broken heart Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb): If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman) Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs. Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals. Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. More Than a Woman (Tavares) Love Me (Yvonne Elliman) Come on Over (Olivia Newton John) Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it. Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli) Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer) Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb A lot of Andy Gibb songs

"Too Much Heaven" is a song by the Bee Gees, which was the band's contribution to the "Music for UNICEF" fund. They performed it at the Music for UNICEF Concert on 9 January 1979 raise over $10 million for UNICEF . Peace out.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

They absolutely made Disco songs. Good grief.

[@angelapietro4734]

@@Cosmo-Kramer they absolutely refute that, those songs were not even originally made for that soundtrack and that's only reason they got put under that umbrella, they wrote those as r&b/dance songs.. they are the creaters of those songs if they say their not, then to me their not. Who are we to tell them ehat their own music represents or is .....for record I love what was labeled disco....oh and luv your reactions btw..

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@angelapietro4734 They can refute it 'til the cows come home, but they made lots of Disco songs. They just didn't like being famous for that because fans of their late '70s Disco songs showed little to no interest in their earlier work, so they began to resent the Disco songs that made them megastars. Just because they made the songs before the SNF soundtrack, that doesn't mean anything because Disco was around for several years before that movie. As for you loving my reactions, I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not a reactor.

[@angelapietro4734]

@@Cosmo-Kramer that's your opinion, my opinion is right on track with theirs..and no they didn't hate the music or disco for that matter that's just not what that music was to them, and they are actually very proud of the songs on that soundtrack ..

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@angelapietro4734 Maurice is on record saying that he and his brothers grew to resent their Disco songs because they attracted so many new fans who were only interested in hearing those songs, and none of their previous work from earlier in the '70s and '60s. This is not an uncommon phenomenon for artists. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin grew to hate their iconic hit, "Stairway To Heaven", because it was all any reporter or fan ever wanted to talk about or hear them play. Sir Alec Guinness, is an even more perfect parallel to the brothers Gibb. Alec was an esteemed actor in Britain for decades before he played Obi Wan Kenobi in, STAR WARS, and he resented that the new fans of his only cared about him as Obi Wan. Hell, Harrison Ford had a similar disdain for his iconic character of, Han Solo, in STAR WARS, because even though he went on to perform in many other great roles throughout his career, he felt he was always viewed by the fans as, Han Solo, because that's what they always wanted to ask him about. It got to the point that he would only go on talk shows under the condition that the host not ask him anything about, STAR WARS. So you can believe what you want, sweetheart, but Maurice has explicitly said they resented their Disco songs soon after releasing them, because those songs defined their group in the eyes of so many fans, and the brothers felt like they had so much great music that pre-dated their Disco period, that hardly any fans showed any interest in hearing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was fortunate to grow up in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. You men have so much music to explore, you can't even imagine.

[@mikemiller3069]

Many of us who were Bee Gees fans back in the 60s and early 70s thought that the disco era was them "selling out". I've chilled some since then and even like some of their disco songs but to me, it's all about the earlier stuff like "Massachusetts", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Words" and "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" and several others.

[@TomFurr-uc1hj]

I disagree they sold out. They were smart they did what they had to do.Some of the songs on the Saturday night fever album weren't even disco.If a song came out you could dance to in this era it was automatically a disco song.People had been dancing to songs 100years before disco came out.Disco had its on unique sound and there was only a hand full of songs they did that were considered disco.

[@TomFurr-uc1hj]

These guys were in the rock and roll Hall of Fame and the songwriters Hall of Fame.They wrote songs for Dione warick Diana Ross a full album for Barbara Stiesand,also Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers just to name a few..They had 100 songs that charted,I only know of 1 song they sang that they didn't write themselves.Not only were they genius songwriters and all great singers with harmonies unmatched they were great guys very down to earth

Woman In Love by Barbra Streisand is a Barry Gibb production, writing and backing-vocal masterpiece. He captures her voice so well on the whole Guilty album, it's a real testament to how studio production can create such a wonderful pure sound.

We look back at the disco era, sort of laugh sometimes at what they wore, their music etc, but it's weird to think that the next generation coming will do the exact same thing back at us for what we wear now and the music we like these current days. I guess no one is getting out of it, lol.

Love those high notes Barry my ❤ hits. I saw an interview with Barry and someone asked him to sing Stayin Alive. He said ok BUT only a little bit of it because it hurts him. Mo and Robin persauded him to continue to do it but it does hurt his ribs/lungs/throat. He does it for his fans whom he loves and at his expense of being in pain. If you watch his face he often winces in pain hitting those notes. Thank you Barry. Love you dear one.❤❤❤ Barry is my favorite of all since 1975 when i first heard him. Love Barry Gibb always.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

They didn`t like the term disco (kings)! They were writing songs for her new album, when their producer R. Stigwood asked them to write the soundtrack for his new movie saturday night fever. They told him that they wouldn`t have time for this, but he could have some of the songs they have written for the new album. They knew nothing about the movie.The Bee Gees' involvement in the film did not begin until post-production. As John Travolta asserted, "The Bee Gees weren't even involved in the movie in the beginning ... I was dancing to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs. The brothers wrote the songs "virtually in a single weekend" at Château d'Hérouville studio in France. Saturday Night Fever was the best-selling album in music history, and still ranks among the best-selling soundtrack albums worldwide, with sales figures of over 40 million copies.The album stayed atop the charts for 24 straight weeks from January to July 1978 and stayed on Billboard's album charts for 120 weeks until March 1980. So they become the "disco kings"without knowing what disco was/meant or being interested in disco music. Barry once said he's never been to a disco!
