Possibly the most underrated song they ever sang. It gives me goosebumps every single time! They were prude legends and beautiful human beings that transcended the culture in every decade! RIP Robin and Maurice …God bless you Barry.

[@cathyopthof8136]

Best Bee Gees song!! Ever!!!❤

[@susieq9801]

You get perfection with these guys. First, they have the genetics as brothers to harmonize naturally as only siblings can do. You can't buy that! All three have different voices, Robin's soulful and plaintive with the most beautiful vibrato (named the best white soul voice of his generation), Barry's bluesy chest voice and Maurice's range and instinctive feel to create the perfect third harmony. All three could sing falsetto with ease (like the dueling falsettos at the end of this song). Although very different voices, when Barry and Robin sang together on lead they were almost indistinguishable from each other. Add to that, 90% of the songs were written by Barry and Robin together or by all three together including songs they wrote for other artists. Barry wrote the earliest songs when the twins were just kids but Robin started to write at @13 and Maurice later as well. They were the entire package. They honed their craft since the twins were 6 and big brother 9. They knew that was what they wanted to do with their lives. I personally adored Robin's voice, humor, amazing intellect and eccentricity. BTW, you have an amazing voice. You should be a TV or radio announcer. Your analyses are always cool, calm and collected! Cheers!

[@renep2220]

It's o.k. if you start over fifty times, I'll still be here smiling and listening! One of my favorite 🎵 songs. Thank you for honoring our beloved Bee Gees!

Perfection. Quincy Jones said this was one of the greatest love songs ever written.

It was said Quincy Jones tried for years, without success, to find a group capable of covering 'Fanny...'

[@ic5761]

Quincy said best R & B song EVER.

[@vafi2065]

Yes! Fanny was actually the name of the housekeeper they employed when they went to Florida to write songs. Originally it was just "SO be tender/with my love". Maurice felt it needed to have the woman's name and the housekeeper happened to be there that day.

[@queenslanddiva]

I love that a whole new generation is falling in love with the perfection that is the Bee Gees. This one is a masterpiece, among all the Bee Gees masterpieces.

Not sure how you can call them underrated . Rock Hall of fame - 3rd largest selling group of all time and 5th highest selling musical acts of all time. Barry Gibb - 2nd on the list after Paul Mcartney/ John Lennon best song writer and hall of fame for his song writing . Biggest group and musicians on the planet mid to late 70's.

This was the first time that Barry used the falsetto - before this he really didn't "know" that he could sing falsetto. It's so beautiful.

[@wbl5649]

Quincy Jones said this was one of his all time favorite R&B songs...and he knew music

[@MischaGER]

I know that you love it, 😆 because this is their stunning masterpiece from the 1975 main course album, with Barry, Robin and Maurice perfect high pitched falsetto harmonies duett and the amazing blended it in 16 audio tracks 😱 perfectly mixed by Karl Richardson & Legendary Arif Mardin. As Barry told: their instrumentally most complex and difficult song, but it is for sure one of their best jewels and the one and only Quincy Jones praised that tune, as the best soul tune, that he ever heard from a white band ever. Barry in an interview 1994: Impossible even for us to sing it live - one of the three forbidden songs in the music industry 😆

[@renee8437]

Love Barry using his lower register. He can sing anything. And Maurice singing the chorus Be Tender with my Love at the end was outstanding. His voice is rarely featured. Love him. Love the Bee Gees! Period! One of the greatest groups to ever grace the music scene. Ever!

I'm African American. Without a doubt. This group is the greatest group of all time . " Fanny be Tender with my Love " was considered by one of the greatest music producers of all time " Quincy jones ", to be the best r/,b song of all time . Since it appears you like ballads, I would want you to react to " Love So Right " by the bee gees . A really great song.

[@DiscoDoll79]

I NEVER tire of hearing "Fanny be Tender" - In fact, I literally wore out my 45 record (single) - which I'd purchased from The Record Bar - because I played the song excessively! The harmonies between Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb are exceptional - perfectly in sync. If you haven't heard "How Deep is Your Love" "Nights on Broadway" or "Jive Talkin" - you might put those on your list. I enjoy your reactions - there's something to be said for being a tad "understated"... you're authentic and that's refreshing!

[@sandyleewhite]

I grew up listening to the Bee Gees, & you have no idea how happy it makes me, to see the younger generation discover the music we fell in love with !!! All three brothers had amazing falsetto's, powerful chest voices, & could sing anything in between. They truly were a once in a lifetime gift of musical genius, in every aspect! Please review more of their music, you will not be disappointed. They span over many decades, & crossed quite a few genres. I believe, that if there is music in Heaven, it would sound like the Bee Gee's ❤️❤️

[@brendajones9321]

Of the multitude of songs written by the BeeGees, this was reported to be their mother's absolute favorite... perhaps because each brother's voice is easily recognizable. Interesting fact: Mo suggested using a girl's name in the song to make it more relatable, so they decided on Fanny-the name of the lady who 'came with' the house they rented in Miami & who took care of them, their families, & the house. When the song was finished, they brought Fanny to the studio to hear the song & she was, understandably, amazed & flattered.

[@vandoraginther6421]

The Be Gee's are truly amazing, I have listened to them since I was a young girl they have so many top songs. They are beautiful voices, song writers, music and singers. I love them. Your reaction is terrific you diffently get them. Thank you. I am subscribed. Night Fever is great!!

The Gibb brothers were masters of the switch up in more ways than one. Please react to I STARTED A JOKE (either 1960’s promo video or 1989 Live).... but only after JIVE TALKIN. A completely different kind of switch up would be REST YOUR LOVE. (As a lyric fan, you should know that Barry wrote the lyrics on the mic as recording.) Not another group like The Bee Gees. Thanks for reacting!

[@charles2241]

I'm just like you as far as the Bee Gees went. In my case, I heard them when they were on the radio for the first times. They never really stood out to me with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", for example, and though I probably liked everything I heard of theirs, I probably didn't hear them enough to piece together all the things they sang, but it was the early days. The song that cut it for me, that made me a fan, was this one, because not only was it much better than anything I had heard before, but the thing that really grabbed me is it showed their potential, and once they started singing like this, I wanted to hear all their music.

[@DANIGAL101]

So glad that younger people are discovering them!!

[@bport33186]

I have to say, I'm so pleased that mentioned (noticed!) the vulnerability of the song - I think you're the first reactor who's pointed that out about the lyrics, and that it's a point you appreciate about it.

Absolutely, the emotion in to love somebody is raw and you can really feel it.

[@karenmottram7040]

It's great to hear that the younger generation are realising what the music was like back from the 60s,70s and 80s. Bee Gees were originally from the UK and started performing so young when tgey emigrated to Australia. I've just subscribed to your channel so I don't know how much knowledge you have of this family trio. They were able to change the genre of music as it changed through the decades. I think I heard someone quote that there is always a Bee Gees song played on the radio around the world, every 22 seconds. They gave so much of themselves to perform and with Barry starting to writing music as early as when he was 8 years old, you can follow this band's history to when the twins Robin and Maurice and big brother Barry were still children when they became a regular on an Australian tv station. They decided to go back to their homeland, the UK to enhance their career. You can follow them from those days up until Barry retired after the loss of his younger 3 brothers. Such a tragedy as Barry and his older sister Lesley are alive. They were great artists and full of fun. They loved playing up each other so much they said if they hadn't made it in music, they would bea comedy act but how we would have missed out on so many fantastic songs. There is a documentary on KZbin you could find more on their start in the industry. They as a family had a lot to go through starting with the loss of their youngest brother, Andy I think it was in 1988. I know he was only 30 years old. I have so many favourites I can't pick one. I probably say Too Much Heaven which you have reacted to already. You can see them as teenagers in a song called 'Wine and Women. They had a number one hit here in the UK not long after returning back to England and re-invented themselves as style changed. You will find a whole category of their music to listen to. As a young girl, I loved My World and Run To Me which were in their early years back home but then came disco where they wrote most of the music to the film Saturday Night Fever. After that died down then they returned to the limelight again in the late 80s early 90s with songs like You Win Again and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Keep up the good work and sorry I could write a book about my favourite artist. These, Queen and LEO are my kind of music. Barry Gibb was knighted by HRH Elizabeth 2nd, The Queen for sevices to the music industry. :)

Thanks for a great reaction to this song. I love the story of how this song came about. The brothers had just moved to Miami and were staying in a house (the famous 461 Ocean Boulevard) recommended to them by Eric Clapton. They appreciated the care (cooking and cleaning) given them by a woman named Fanny and when writing this lovely and lively song at that time, Maurice suggested including her name. Subscribed, Rad.
