Samantha Sang - Emotion | OH YES SHE DID! | REACTION

[@jeremyshelman9716]

Barry Gibb was like the Easter Bunny putting #1 candy into everyone's basket. There was a time when it felt like he was everywhere. So much talent.

It’s so great to see someone else react to this the way I did back in the day! Thanks Salvo!! ❤️‍🔥🇨🇦

[@ohfour-seven6228]

When this came out, everyone thought it was another Bee Gees smash. The song itself, the production, the instrumentation and the harmonies are pure Bee Gees. This song had tremendous radio airplay, absolutely love it! As noted below, she makes a perfect female addition to the iconic Bee Gees harmonies!

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

I ALWAYS FELT LIKE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT IF THERE WAS A FEMALE BEEGEE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IT, HER VOCALS FIT SO WELL WITH THEM

[@impudentdomain]

Yeah that SOB outlived all three of his younger brothers and although all of them were talented it is clear that he was the most talented, also the best looking. Life aint fair.

[@kathieovercash8414]

Absolutely

[@rhondamurff9101]

There was a female BeeGee, their sister Leslie who sometimes filled in when they needed another person at concerts, especially when Robin wasn't getting along w/Barry.

[@waynecox3958]

I did not know you had not touched on the Bee Gees yet. Oh Lordy it's a deep rabbit hole. Might as well start with TOO MUCH HEAVEN.

[@dreamweaver8913]

I asked this before, but it was overlooked. Really needs to be the Official video for "Too Much Heaven"...

[@someoneiswatchin]

Samantha Sang is listed as the artist, but everything about this track smacks of the Bee Gees - everything. It reminds me of "More than a Woman" written by the Bee Gees and one of their most popular songs, but never released by them as a single. Instead The Tavares sang it on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and had a top 40 hit. But to me it will always be a Bee Gees song.

[@jodij6280]

I could swear this is a Bee Gees song. I listened to the Bee Gees version and there is no difference.

[@SWLinPHX]

Yeah, they also recorded many songs of theirs that were made famous by other artist recordings, such as "If I Can't Have You" (Yvonne Elliman) and "Heartbreaker" (Dionne Warwick).

[@dranet47]

We had some great music in the 70s, didn't we?

[@paulrt3]

Another artist similar to Samantha Sang is Yvonne Elliman, from the great State of Hawaii! She had a hit called "If I can't have You". If you haven't already heard this one, you should check it out.

[@jellyrollnorton]

And it was written by Barry Gibb!

[@CARBONATED_SO-DA]

Seconded!

[@SWLinPHX]

Yes, Yvonne's looooong run as Mary Magdalene in the original concept album, Broadway run and movie "Jesus Christ Superstar" put her on the map. She shines on "Everything's Alright" and "I Don't Know How To Love Him".

[@barbarino2000]

I think Barry Gibb was involved in 50% of the best songs in the world for about a 7 year stretch. He was everywhere.

This was huge back in the day - I heard it on the radio all the time when I was very young.

[@angelinasanchez5083]

I love Emotion. Samantha Sang has a very beautiful voice that blends so well with Barry’s. As beautiful as her voice is it’s Barry’s background falsetto that really grabs at your soul. The background vocals were all Barry. You should really get into that Bee Gees rabbit hole for fantastic music like their R&B songs TOO MUCH HEAVEN and LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT ❤❤❤

[@dreamweaver8913]

Bee Gees, "TOO MUCH HEAVEN" OFFICIAL Video, Please! Live Performance that is outstanding! All profits from that song went to UNICEF...

[@AlamoDame7]

Sir Barry Gibb whisper sang layered harmony on his own backup!! Talented man. He also co-produced this track. Robin co wrote with Barry.

[@NoCreamedCorn]

He wrote Heartbreaker for Dionne Warwick and Carried Away for Olivia Newton-John, both of which I’d recommend.

[@lauraallen55]

Listen to the Bee Gees version and you'll hear all three of them. And they sound fantastic. Where you say it just kept getting better and better? On the Bee Gees version it's like that on steroids with Robin, Barry, Mo coming in and out on the chorus. It's so mesmerizing. I fell in love with this version, then I heard theirs and played it on repeat. A lot. Each brother sings together and separately throughout like on Nights On Broadway, Fanny, Be Tender With My Love and some of their others I really love. I think they sounded best when they were all featured. For Whom The Bell Tolls features Robin on the chorus, and it's amazing too. Then again, songs that feature one brother are hard to beat like Robin's I Started A Joke, and so on.

[@jodij6280]

My favorite is I Started a Joke. So much emotion in his voice.

[@sampono1962]

yes, i prefer the Bee Gees version

[@juanita6479]

I can see you are mesmerized by the harmonies, so please I advise you to listen to the Bee Gees' version with the magic that only those three brothers can do. It would be great if you dig into that rabbit hole which is hard to beat, more than 1.000 songs written by the Bee Gees mainly for themselves, but also for other great artists which always ended up in number one.

[@waynem.7226]

Barry Gibb's falsetto is as unmistakable as the Gibb bros. style of songwriting in this song.

[@beegeesbuster1]

Yes this song was written by Robin and Barry and was also produced by maybe the best production team of the late 70's, Barry Gibb, Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson.

[@grahamgreenlee9874]

Great react. And love that you called out there’s just no room to pause between the first chorus and the second verse. Just a seamless, smooth song with amazing vocals.

[@uthtown]

Quincentennial song of the late 1970’s. Pure ecstasy. ps. Do NOT listen to the Destiny’s Child version. Beyoncé completely obliterates the song.

[@SWLinPHX]

You can barely tell which voice is female and which is male in the verses, but of course Barry's signature voice is apparent during the chorus.

[@dp3396]

LOVE IT!!! Barry is best known for his falsetto, but also has one of the rarest and best male tremolos (soft, whispy vocals). You really should react to other Gibb classics recorded by another female in this time - Yvonne Elliman LOVE ME and also IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU. These hits for these and other female vocalists led to icons like Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross requesting songs!!

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

I had forgotten how velvety her voice was. So beautiful.

[@davidspring5013]

Bee Gee's song and doing backup vocals if this sounds familiar

[@davidspring5013]

well i commented too soon lol

[@Hollingsworth2781]

This is actually my favorite bee gees song even if he they didn't sing lead on it. Samantha's voice is amazing on this track.

[@Tipper65]

If you decide to dive down The Bee Gees rabbit hole, I highly suggest you do it chronologically (starting in 1959) to get a feel for how they transitioned from soft pop rock, in to disco (1977-1979). HBO had a documentary a few years ago titled “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”. It was very good.

[@timetravellingone]

Samantha Sang.......she sang alright

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

Just Barry, but most singers would be quite happy to have Barry on backing vocals😂

[@pgko7123]

When are you doing The BeeGees? Nobody ever in music history has harmonized voices as good as those brothers. They have composed songs for so many popular artists in the past 60 years. They're music geniuses and you'll know once you hear their songs' melodies, which most were composed in just 1 sitting. Please start with (1) How Deep Is Your Love or (2) Too Much Heaven or (3) Don't Throw It All Away Our Love [live concert version].

[@pgko7123]

The BeeGees has written hit songs for legends: Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Frankie Vallie, Olivia Newton-John, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and a dozen other artists. "100 Top 10 Hits Written by The BeeGees" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5W2p32iqMpoa7s)

[@TheRatsCast]

I pity; she was only a One-hit Wonder in the US, as she never had another big hit in America. But then again; there are far too many One-Hit Wonders in the US music scene, verse other places.

[@bryanCJC2105]

I really liked this song. I was about 13. I thought she was Black until the 21st century. I mainly listened to R&B radio at the time and it was played often. I used to think the lyrics said "I cry me a river, which leads to erosion". I thought she was pronouncing it as "yur-osian" just to make it rhyme. Again, it was the 21st century when I learned it was "your ocean". Information wasn't easy to come by back then and those 70s clock radios didn't have the most high fidelity sound.

[@kthor]

OMG.....almost forgot about clock radios!

[@ginalashley1265]

One of my favourite songs ever! I'm a big Bee Gees fan. This song came out when I was five and I still love it! It's on my Playlist. Her voice blends well with Barry's. You should also check out the Bee Gees with Dionne Warwick. The song is Heartbreaker.

[@kthor]

LOVE the Bee Gees version of Heartbreaker....even more so than Dionne's.🎶

[@michaeldishler9673]

[@impudentdomain]

I was in college when the whole disco thing came down. It was perhaps the greatest time in history for a young man. All you had to do was learn to dance a bit and you could get all the women you wanted. I am really fond of that time but also for the Bee Gees because I listened to them even as a kid. They were big for like three decades.

[@rebeccalipps23]

So many want to completely discount the disco era, but I loved it, then & still do, now.

[@pgko7123]

And it's sad that they label the BeeGees as disco artists when they're more than that. They started as Soul/R&B and just keep adjusting their music with the times. Musical geniuses.

[@SWLinPHX]

@@pgko7123 Yes, they had a substantial career beforehand and a fan following, but disco (and Saturday Night Fever) put them on the mainstream map where they exploded.

[@annmcleod1111]

Please check out Barry Gibb & Barbara Streisand: Guilty. (Both live and studio version). Barbara Streisand: Woman In Love.

When that chorus came in it gave me chills. It took me back to my high school years. I love this song. Thanks for your great reaction to it. I hope to see more Bee Gees from you. Their catalog is huge. My all time favorite group. No others can compare. ❤️

[@AlamoDame7]

Also, Bee Gees and Samantha went all the way back to Australia days.they promised her a song or two to help her in breaking through the US UK music scene. Barry coordinated / engaged the Brothers' production team. Song was written in the late 1970's, when the Bee Gees were in their hit-writing frenzy mode. Check out the hit the did for Yvonne Elliman "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU " -- #1 BILLBOARD HOT 100.

[@jodij6280]

Interesting! I always thought they were from the U.K.

[@AlamoDame7]

@@jodij6280 The Bee Gees were born in Douglas, Isle of Man-- Barry Gibb in 1946, and the twin Gibbs Robin and Maurice, in 1949, then the family moved to Manchester a few years later. The family immigrated from Manchester, England, UK in 1958, to Brisbane/ Queensland, Australia,, landing on Barry's12th birthday. Their formative years were spent performing as a novelty children's act, later a teens' trio of singers. When the boys determined they were spinning their wheels getting nowhere in Sidney, they convinced their parents to move back to England so they could join the last years of the "British Invasion" of pop/rock bands. The boys arrived in early February 1967, when within a few weeks, the same management company for the Beatles, NEMS, signed the talented brothers to a 5-year contract. The rest is music history. Barry Gibb was barely 20, and the twins were just 17.

[@evanhughes1510]

Why does every single video have a random clip from the middle of the reaction that’s a couple seconds long and then cuts off suddenly?

[@SalvoG]

It’s the “hook.” If you look above the video, it reads “in this video.” It’s an extremely common practice in video content creation. The content creator, in this case me, will preview you a few seconds of the video to get the viewer excited. That’s all it is, it’s also good for people who haven’t heard the song before to hear an exciting part of the song to even see if it’s something they might like.

[@evanhughes1510]

@@SalvoG ok but what’s weird is, reaction videos didn’t have this “hook” preview a year or two years ago. It’s something that seems to have started fairly recently, and now you see it on just about every reaction video on just about every reaction channel. Are reactors all copying this preview format from each other? Or is KZbin making reactors have this hook preview by default? Not really understanding how this popped up so suddenly, and how reactors are all doing it so uniformly. It didn’t use to be a thing.

[@SalvoG]

@@evanhughes1510 it’s a good question and I’ll just explain from my perspective: early on when I started this so like a year and a half ago I didn’t start my videos like that. I just decided to after a while actually without doing any research to start doing it. Turns out it’s very useful. Most people decide within the first 3 seconds if they are staying or leaving, so it’s important to show something exciting right away to increase the likelihood they give your video a chance.

[@tuckerplum8085]

Barry Gibb. Barry Gibb. Barry Gibb. Barry is a master singer. Barry is a song-writing machine. Barry Gibb is a genius music producer. Samantha Sang (and her admittedly gorgeous voice) gets credit for what is actually a Bee Gees classic. The theme song from "Grease." Frankie Valli gets credit for what is actually a Bee Gees classic. "Heartbreaker." Dionne Warwick gets credit for what is actually a Bee Gees classic. "If I Can't Have You." Yvonne Elliman gets credit for what is actually a Bee Gees classic.

[@VicEclectica]

She did a great job - but I prefer the BeeGees version. I'd hazard a guess that this version wouldn't have been the hit it was without Barry's background vocals. Just my opinion, tho.

[@namwob77]

They said that Barry sounded like a woman so I don't think there is a Samantha Sings, I think it is BARRY singing the whole thing!!!

[@trishafaulk2067]

The Bee Gees wrote this song. They also recorded their own version of this song. Bee Gees songs are usually something that are very desired for singers to have given to them to record. And if the Gibbs also produce and sing with a singer it's like almost guaranteed hit. And people are doing covers of their songs that were on their albums. They have written for Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs to name a few.
