First Time Reaction to Bee Gees - Words

[@joelliebler5690]

A powerful song that resonates even today as one of my Favorites from The Brothers Gibb!

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with this great group. Love their early music especially 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "Spicks & Specks", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "I Started A Joke", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.

Dagmar, great in your enumeration are some songs, which only knows those early fans like me too. Sample The singer sang his song is not on an early LP it was a B-side of a single. But i mss one of their Best on the LP Bee Gees first. For me with more emotion than „To love somebody“ is the song „I can‘t see nobody“. Her the best Live performance I knew from 1972 in Melbourne kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWK2YquJj9d-p68si=MB5FcxJizrZZ6tNc

Haven't heard this in a long time! Love it❤

[@wandalewis5097]

Beautiful. He usually dedicates it to his wife Linda who he’s been married to for over 50 years

[@kthor]

They actually celebrated their 53 on Sept 1st, & Barry turned 77 the same day!

[@dubivxler]

bee gees love you inside out

[@ed.z.]

So many great Bee Gee albums to last a lifetime of beautiful music.

[@AlamoDame7]

Remember -- Barry Gibb and his brothers are Hall of Fame songwriters (awarded in 1994), and legendary ones at that-- among the very, very best. Here's Barry talking about writing the song in 1968: kzbin.infoSKA82VCrcdA?feature=share Also-- Elvis covered this in his concerts-- He wanted to buy the rights to the song, as he preferred to own the songs he covered, but Barry refused to sell it, so Elvis never recorded it as he planned. He sang it live. Another note-- Elvis wanted Dolly Parton to sell her rights to "I Will Always love You" to him. She of course refused.

[@marymccoy4811]

one of my favorites

[@comali2212]

Barry's best performance for this song was on the Spirit Tour 1979. He just mesmerized the whole audience and they were by thousands.

[@kthor]

Love that performance! Also the '89 Melbourne is great too!❤️‍🔥🥰❤️‍🔥

[@johnthegreek5836]

These old classic songs from The Bee Gees are my favorites, my favorite is I Started A Joke

[@diannthomas5653]

Beautiful song!

[@squirehobbs6754]

I was on eighth-grade our music teacher played their music everyday.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Wonderful very underrated song

[@pleutron]

my favorite bee gees song!!!

[@sherryaguilar1232]

Go down the Bee Gee's rabbit hole. Your ears will thank you.

[@BosLady-w3k]

What a voice.

[@SQUATCHY614]

My fav of theirs. Beautiful love song.

[@annieclifford9337]

Wonderful Song

[@jameshuston9589]

Seeing Tee look at Tasha with so much love and understanding... it's not a little thing.

[@MischaGER]

This tune is so good - that every cover version climbed to #1 in the charts even Michael Bolton, Elvis, Boyzone, Dolly Parton - this song is eternal and one of the most covered songs in music history and will be played and covered in 100 years ♥🔥

[@shaundgb7367]

So happy to hear he not weakened and watched the musical Grease. Stay the path. Your husband is funny.

[@VincentManiscalco]

This is one of my favorites by the Bee Gees how it didn’t hit number one I don’t know, but they did have nine number one singles incredible voices all three of them

[@bcojr1074]

I love this song. Even Elvis did a great version of this song in 1968 or 69.

[@dp3396]

This became Barry’s solo spotlight song in concerts. You should react to his live 1989 performance.

[@amrak5028]

Tee This was so Very Revealing! Really you went to GREASE!

[@jameshuston9589]

That was a damn good show.

[@stevegibson7464]

This is early BG , there is lots more and all of it great…enjoy

[@Butterflyandhearts95]

While I love all things Bee Gees, I really love their older stuff. Just beautiful and really in the feels.

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

Some who mistake the lead singer here for Robin just may be so used to associating Barry with his nasally falsetto of the disco era that they have assumed it must be Robin singing lead on "Words," one of the early Bee Gees hits. But it IS Barry. Barry's natural register is pleasant and breathy, which made the singing here as lovely as the sentiments of the lyrics. But, as lovely as the song "Words" is (and I think it is a truly moving rendition by Barry), IMO Robin's voice is more distinctively ethereal and undeniably transcendent. "Massachusetts" is my favorite Bee Gees song where Robin sings lead. Another favorite is from his later years, when Robin did "Ellan Vallin" feat. the King Williams College choir backing him. That song is the unofficial anthem of the Isle of Man, where Robin, his twin Maurice, and their elder brother Barry were born. The Bee Gees originally did the song for a charity event together, with Robin singing lead, but this official music video shows Robin without his brothers and brings in the choir. Some signs of Robin's failing health are apparent, yet his voice, with its unique sound, is undiminished and as hauntingly beautiful as ever. The video starts out in a cathedral-like setting with Robin singing, and the young voices of the choir coming in, and going to live views of the wild, natural beauty of the island, with its spectacular coast and green hills, as the song goes on. The song is pure, touching, uplifting... and so is Robin. Something not to miss!

[@thunderspike1892]

You should check out the title track from their last album This is Where I Came In from 2001. Great song. Maurice Gibb died less than two years after and his twin brother Robin in 2012. RIP. Later saw Barry Gibb talking about losing Andy, Maurice and Robin. Said that he is the last man standing and got a little silent

[@pamagnolia]

Great song from the 1960s Bee Gees. 😅

[@MOS650]

You guys should check out their songs Massachusetts Live ( One For All Tour) & Alone (Official Video).

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

You should try a British band from 1966 called The Crying Shame and their song called ( Please Stay )

[@CH-xw4fq]

ATLANTA RHYTHEM SECTION..... spooky . great song

[@andreaschmall5560]

This is my favorite era of the Bee Gees...was when there was no falsetto

[@kthor]

Love all their eras, including the falsetto.

The Grease reference in the blind... Funny.

[@austindermody302]

T got me laughing when he started mimicking the Hodge Twins after the song ended. 🤣 But anyways great reaction guys.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

I didn't think anyone would get it. I'm glad you did.

[@gwyntx7620]

Glad to hear one of their older songs before Barry started doing his falsetto

[@kthor]

There's no voice like Barry Gibbs'....& it's all great!👍

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

If you liked this you should listen to "New York Mining Disaster". The title sounds bad but It's a beautiful song.❤ A tribute to the tragedy that happened in 1941.

[@dubivxler]

👌👏👏

[@suecook1326]

This is Robin doing lead vocals. He has a tremor to his voice. He's the twin with the longest hair usually. He does other early songs too. I started A Joke and Massachusetts. I suggest I Started A Joke.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

🤣NO, this is Barry, its HIS signature song, Robin never sang it! You should know Robins voice better, he has a special voice, very different from Barrys in his leads. And Barry also had a vibrato, but much more tremolo than Robins natural vibrato!

[@whatsinaname1890]

Absolutely Barry and not Robin.

[@Howdyall]

Be careful about making a wrong assumption... Bee Gee's fans will clobber you. 😁😄😆

In my life by randy Crawford you may like horns at end

[@teddydog6229]

You guys just did this tune because you know I can't hear early Bee Gees with dry eyes. Ok maybe that's paranoid and not true but my reaction is. Some mid to late 60s Beach Boys songs have the same effect. Play either Til I Die or Caroline No. Come on I double Teddydog dare you ! I realize i'm not a patreon. I get it. But cut me some slack. I only discovered you yesterday.

Did Tasha shh Tee?

Lets try missings persons persons a band i hated but appreciate now. You gotta admit her and madonna had a beef way back.

Disrespectful comment

[@joelliebler5690]

The songs might have been pure though so much dope going around that poisoned society at that time.

They made some of the most beautiful soulful songs before they went disco fever---not that those disco songs are bad, either.
