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 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.

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.
