We lucky ones grew up with this... It played everywhere!

[@cherylreichardt]

Their voices blend together like honey. Beautiful song. Takes me back.

[@davidhaak-royston8168]

This song always makes me happy and mellow!

[@howrued1500]

Ahhhhh, man… so many memories. Slow dancing in a school gym, satin tops, Farrah Fawcett hair & loads of AquaNet lol Our town had a teen disco; my husband never lets me live that down😂 Life was so much simpler… we just didn’t know it. I ordered some skates about 6mths ago! Turns out it’s NOT like riding a bike🤣 But I suspect the neighbors had a few good laughs. Thanks for the ride in your Time Machine!! Stay safe & love much💖

[@mmagpiie2470]

I LOVE the look on your face @ 2:28 ! When the Bee Gees started the backup vocals! And disco days were the best, dancing dancing and dancing allll the time! Where is there to go dance now? Love ya!

[@jussinawaydeanamortl5680]

This takes me back to 1978 a 13 year old laying on her bed listening to the radio and looking at her poster of John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino! Thanks for the memories trip Jamel!

[@timmistorey5989]

Written by the beegees. They were great songwriters as well as singers

[@walterpanovs]

Barry Gibb did sing background and harmony on this track. His distinctive voice can clearly be heard. At the time, anything and everything by (or sounding like) the BeeGees was a big hit. Same thing happened with Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, and Michael McDonald to various degrees in later years. Destiny's Child also released a version of this song in 2001 and took it to #10 in the USA and #3 in the UK.

[@janeenbarker4851]

Samantha Sang was so lucky to have a Bee Gees written song gifted to her. The Bee Gees were on fire in the late 70's. The Bee Gees version is beautiful as well. Barry layered the background harmony in his amazing falsetto voice for Samantha Sang. Great reaction.

[@bethreads3294]

Love this song and this music. Pure joy!!

[@sherrihayward4500]

On radio worldwide, a Bee Gees song is played every 20 seconds 😁

[@stacymoore9836]

I love this song. The Bee Gees wrote and sung background to it in 1978. I was in the 11th grade and I love this song

[@corinne8084]

One my favorites!! Love this song!! 🔥

[@jgsheehan8810]

Samantha Sang’s version is the one I knew first. The local music shows were so excited - an Aussie girl singing a Bee Gees written song and with them doing backing vocals.

[@bloppysloppy4057]

When this song was out the Bee Gees we're the hottest thing going with back to back to back to back #1 hits. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was breaking sales records and the Bee Gees had hits with Samantha Sang, Andy Gibb and Frankie Valli around this time. They were on fire in 1977-1979.

[@ajruther67]

I think this song should have been included in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Such a great song.

[@dp3396]

...and TAVARES (More Than A Woman), and YVONNE ELLIMAN (Love Me and If I Can’t Have You), CONWAY TWITTY (Rest Your Love), ...

[@bloppysloppy4057]

@@dp3396 I didn't know that they wrote "Love Me".

[@dp3396]

Their version is included on their album CHILDREN OF THE WORLD, and is one of the few songs from that period that features Robin on lead vocals. It is a must hear gem!!!!

[@bloppysloppy4057]

@@dp3396 I looked it up. Yvonne's version was released as a single the same month as the Bee Gees version was released on album. Both acts were under Robert Stigwood. It's a strong possibility that it was written for her or at least Stigwood or even the Bee Gees themselves thought it would be a good song for her to record.

[@quintinrice2733]

Where are my roller skates!!!!! That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. I loved this song.

[@stephanienewbern769]

Love this! You always pick the best ones to react to. Looking forward to the next one.

[@catman2629]

Just so beautifully written, I'm a heavy rock fan , but still loved this at the time

[@blackprix]

1978 definitely can remember… This is one of my favorite songs from 78 and yes written by the Bee Gees but she sang it beautifully

[@willfromyadkinville]

i love her! forever on one of if not the greatest music soundtracks ever!

[@marvyg9393]

It's nice to see people like yourself do to songs from my generation and give positive feedback. Respect. Smooth ass song

[@katherinea2836]

Barry Gibb is singing backup - he is on multiple layers.

[@trb2021]

All the BeeGees are backup on this song. Barry isn't the only one.

[@kthor]

@@trb2021Yes, Barry's the only one. It should've been released as a duet with Barry & Samantha, but he wanted to give her more credit (&💰)!

[@KBH27]

An OG classic! I was between 7 & 8 when this came out. Was a long time before i found out it was not just The Bee Gees

[@robertkenneth6517]

Your reactions and spirit are so authentic! You rock.

[@TracyfromNC]

I love seeing Melly Mel get surprised and seeing his first time hearing a song and enjoying it!

[@ashleydowney1222]

I love this song.

[@doug8841]

Another Gem 💎 from the 70s via the Gibb brothers Thats when music was simple - 💥 BOOM

[@brianpearson3540]

The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb were ALL brothers and of the few, if only, who embraced funk, soul and R&B and we're successful for it. So, they prove no matter a person's skin color, it comes from within one's soul. You've got to appreciate their mark on the World their music left. No matter the skin color of listeners of their music, their music goes past color. Exhibit A.

[@gracequreshi5952]

Wow 😳 I remember that song back in the day love this song ❤️ thanks 💞 Jamel for sharing this video.

[@DeidreL9]

Whoo hoo! Aussie girl. I love this song. It actually doesn’t show off the extent of her range but it’s just so lovely. So glad you did this!❤️

[@jmrx12]

Maybe not, but this was her biggest hit-by far.

[@franciscocaldas854]

This brings back so many good memories of the 70s. Samantha Sang had an album out then which I bought after listening to this song. Good listening music. You don't get the Bee Gees to do the backing for just anyone. Your reaction was outstanding. Thanks Jamel!

[@laurieshreffler5028]

It is only Barry singing with her. He multi tracked his vocals. He produced the single along wiith Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson

[@jxenciso]

WOW. This takes me way back to when I was in grammar school. Time flies but the memories remain. AGAIN. WOW. Thank You so much JAMEL. I was bumping along with You this morning. Love and Respect always.

[@TheWinnieWonka]

I enjoyed watching you groove to this more than any of the others, I think. You ROCK.

[@TracyfromNC]

My absolute favorite disco song is still the live version video of The Trammps singing Disco Inferno...so great!

[@cathyhudnall6742]

I love Samantha Sang and I love the Bee Gees but this was the version I was introduced to back in the day and the one I'm partial to. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing it and YES, it was hot in the skating rinks! Thanks for bringing back the beautiful memories of my HS days! Love your channel and keep doing you!👍❤

[@reborndaughter445]

Amazing that you found this obscure artist. I loved her. Please check out her song When Love is Gone. It really showcases her voice. Thanks!

[@matts6272]

What a great melody, no wonder this song shot to near the top of the charts.

[@Ken-vk8pb]

Yes, and Samantha's singing voice sounds so sultry and smooth and she looks fine herself in the video.

[@suddenimpact7537]

Bee Gees wrote for "Kenny Rodgers" and sang on the album, "Eyes That See in the Dark", the rest is history, it was Pure Gold.

[@kthor]

Robin & Mo only co-wrote some songs with Barry for Kenny's album. Barry wrote the rest, sang backing vocals on all tracks & produced it.

[@pcallas66]

I work at a TV station in my area and our radio counterpart was on three wings of our building on the second floor and the master control was in the fourth wing of the building. When radio was moving out they set a whole bunch of vinyl for the taking near the elevators and I found a copy of this album in pristine condition. There's no surface noise at all and I have a good turntable setup and it sounds phenomenal.

[@billyoung8118]

Coincidentally this was on my SiriusXM earlier today (not an advertisement....I don't work for them or in that industry at all, and won't earn a penny regardless of what you do). Had to turn it way the heck up! Always loved this song.

[@MW-od8vu]

Watching Jamel listen to a great song for the first time has become one of life’s simple pleasures! I grew up listening to ALL of this great music everyday on the radio and I suppose we all just took it for granted that it would always be that way. Thanks Jamel! 😊🙏

[@t3drill]

I am surprised you haven’t reacted to The Bee Gees “Love you inside out”. It has a wicked arrangement and one if their best sound/rhythm of all their great songs. It has an endless funky beat. Look it up and you will definitely enjoy it.

[@Cynthia...]

Wow I haven’t heard this one for a long time. Very awesome!

[@MsGoon40]

I had the '45 rpm record of this song. Love it!

[@jeanearle2350]

Jamel, I have been trying to get the Rob Squad to react to this for over a year cause we both know how crazy about the Bee Gees he is lol Hopefully he will see this and decide to react to it. You know he'll love it. Glad to see you do this one. Barry does a beautiful job blending with Samantha Sang on this one. She should rightfully be the Bee Gee sister just because she sounds so darned good with them! Hard to tell them apart at times. Top notch reaction as usual. Love to see you doing this again! I've missed you!

[@francisxray9900]

Manytimes, bros.Gibb worked for or even together with female artists, giving songs to them. 'Morning Of My Life' in 1967 Esther Ofarim, I think was the first one.

[@negf22]

Bee gees were backing vocal, you can hear Barry especially…Bee Gees really we’re not a disco group, they were R & B, that got labeled that. Samantha was from Australia and was big down under. The Bee Gee wrote lots of songs that others recorded…just amazing.

[@2Cambell]

Definitely a fabulous roller skate thing. And if you're lucky, she'll have a puff in her skate laces.

[@piratephilnitch8505]

The first time I heard this in 7th Grade (1977) I almost cried it was so beautiful. This was one of the first song I slowed danced to with a pretty girl. What a great, different time!

[@jaysinger535]

Written by Barry and his late brother Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees. It was produced by Barry, Albhy Galuten,and Karl Richardson. Barry also sang background on it with Samantha. This was during the midst of their “Saturday Night Fever” historic fame.

[@kthor]

Barry (& sometimes with the twins’ as well) was an extremely busy guy during that period of time….between writing-recording-producing their own stuff and for Samantha Sang, Yvonne Elliman, SNF, Grease, & bringing Andy over to jumpstart his career…..plus keeping up with their families & traveling🎼!!

[@robertkenneth6517]

Thank you!!! Love this song so much!

[@Harpo.jr70]

Her voice made this the best version of this song.

[@welshwitch2126]

I can’t believe you got to this one! This is an under-appreciated version and I love it!

[@Ken-vk8pb]

Yes, This is an under- appreciated version with Samantha Sang I'm the one that requested that Jamel do a reaction to this since I knew he would enjoy Samantha's smooth singing voice. This song was popular during the disco era and during the time of the Star Wars movie craze at the time.

[@jayeginn5963]

Barry is the only brother doing the background vocals. He layered his voice to do the harmonies. This is the best version of this song of theirs.

[@Ken-vk8pb]

Yes, That is correct that Barry Gibb is the only one doing the background vocals. But since Maurice and Robin Gibb have passed away now most people consider Barry alone as the Bee Gees but that is not exactly true. Barry was always known for hitting the high notes very well in their songs and sometimes his voice kinda drowned out the other brothers voices occasionally.

[@Skeezer66]

This shows you how your memory can lie! I would have Sworn on a stack of bibles that this was part of the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack! It's definitely the Bee Gees singing the chorus, and that's the part that always resonated with me. If she had been on 'Soul Train', I would have remembered better! LOL!!

[@katherinea2836]

I’m right with you on that - I could’ve sworn it was used in the movie. (Apparently it was recorded for it, but never used, so was released separately.)

[@brandonthailand2062]

my high school years 77 to 81 great music years.

[@laurageorge8560]

I love this song. Samantha is a hell of a singer, and yes Destiny's Child sang it too.

[@juneevans8647]

I forgot about this song. It's a great song.

[@samueltabo3390]

The Bee Gees were all over the charts in 1977/78 on the heels of Saturday night fever. They could have released Mary had a little lamb and would've gone to #1. As for Emotion, the Bee Gees were all over that recording, lol

[@VinnyFree]

Disco Era was bomb ...and the Bee Gees OWNED that era!!!

[@MosaicRose99]

I graduated from High School in 1975 during the disco era and I actually hear it from younger members of my family who say "Did they really wear that stuff in 1975?? I said, "Yes they did, and isn't it weird knowing that the up coming generations are going to say, "Did you see what they wore back it 2022?? They had to think about that one for a second, lol....

[@Ken-vk8pb]

I would also like to see Jamel maybe do a reaction to Sammy John's - Chevy Van song from 1975 or Sugarloaf's- Don't Call Us, We'll Call You.

[@sboyd4723]

You might want to react to Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You" next to continue the SNF repertoire

[@kbusby4824]

Yes!!

[@SunflowerChild82]

Yes. 💛

[@theresareynolds3133]

A friend mine just told me about a singer named Geoff Castellucci, he has the deepest voice I've ever heard. I heard him sing 16 Ton's by Tennessee Ernie Ford, Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, his voice is incredible

[@beelmars5400]

Here's a link to Sixteen Tons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKvPhWtmn7ZmotE Big Bad John: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJWlc4CVmZidosU Ain't No Sunshine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anbWcniFltd-jZY Any of them would make great reactions. (Especially Big Bad John, who is 6'5" +)

[@theresareynolds3133]

Yep the BeeGee's are the back up vocals, amazing song

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

Technically it's just Barry Gibb

[@jaysinger535]

Barry and Samantha are the only ones that sang background on it.

[@breckrichardson390]

And more Barry than Samantha.

[@williamjordan5554]

Bee Gees were handing out songs left and right. Beatles did that too. This one sounds like a duet with Barry Gibb.

[@pamelamendoza6914]

Get it Jamel!!!!

[@laraoneal7284]

Loved dancing to disco. It was happy times & happy music.

[@KC-bv9kf]

Memories of sixth grade dances. The girls usually make the first move and had to look up to a few. What an amazing and awkward period in life :)

[@dhfyrydjfjd]

I had never heard of Samantha Sang, but when this comes on the car radio it was NOT coming up the BeeGees and I was sooooo confused! Lol! I was born in 1970 so I was just a kid when this came out, guess I just assumed it was the boys. Such great harmonies!♡♡♡

[@teensymom1420]

I don't think it was all of them but Barry is definitely singing back and course.

[@chicagocubs71]

Jamal, this song 🎵 I used on my aunt & uncle's 5️⃣0️⃣th wedding 💒 Anniversay pic video I did for them. Awesome 👏 hit.

[@Linda-jn9gk]

You are right about the roller skates.

[@flor9389]

Even Alice Cooper liked The Bee Gees. They wrote solid songs and did painstaking studio work for their harmonies. Lots of rockers secretly or not so secretly like them. Check out the Dee Gees, aka, Foo Fighters.

[@Ken-vk8pb]

Jamel, Thanks for doing my request and yes that is the Bee Gees singing only on the backup or background vocals. Samantha sings the lead vocals on this song. The Bee Gees actually are the ones that wrote the song but Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees liked Samantha's voice on the lead vocals better so they decided to have her sing the lead vocals on the song. The Bee Gees did record their own version of this song but Samantha's version did the best on the music charts at the time. Samantha has other songs you may want to check out also but I don't think those were big hits like this song. It's known as kinda a slow dance disco song. Thanks again.

[@laraoneal7284]

Love this, never had heard of Ms Sang. WOW Jamal only know u from the Diddy reactions. How cute you are in happier times.

[@miguelosuna1401]

It's about time you reacted this song, I knew you'd like it.

[@puddysue]

Yep, can definitely hear the Bee Gees in the background... :)

[@sinenominecc]

We're on roller skates! 😆

[@safromnc8616]

High school for me - this was a 'girls song' lol We really didn't get into disco, we were more AC/DC, Skynyrd and Southern rock but I did get talked into taking disco dance lessons by an attractive female. If she asked me today, I'd do it again.. ; )

[@ajruther67]

"Where are my roller skates?" This was definitely a roller rink song back in the day.

[@mr1pearl]

🤯 did not know that !

[@victoriajones5274]

Love this song♥️

[@aerynsunx]

Hey, Jamel! It's been awhile since I've heard this song. I had forgotten how near perfect the production could be on a Bee Gees song, which is basically what this is. No complaints. Sang has a fine voice. And this is a really good song, perfect for its era. Peace out, J. ☮️ ✌🏼

[@melissawilcox5285]

Love disco!

[@krissmgvlogs]

I remember this from back in the day. I believe she was a one hit wonder.

[@susanherrig437]

The Bee Gees wrote the song. They produced this version & did background vocals on it. Destiny's Child also recorded this song.

[@elainemarsh5170]

I always loved this, although for ages I thought it WAS the BeeGees.

[@dp3396]

I’ve always wished this had been put out as a duet of Barry and Samantha Sang. Please react to the TAVARES cover of MORE THAN A WOMAN for Saturday Night Fever.

[@hairyhondaman]

Thank you for your reaction. It's been so long, I almost forgot about this one!

[@vandeolkon]

I love Disco…it is still popping at my house. 🛼🛼🛼💃💃💃

Disco was the Bomb. Wish I could go back.

[@gottabeemee]

FINALLY!!!! Somebody (and it HAD to be YOU!) is reacting to this awesome song .. w/the BeeGee's singing background... SUPERB SONG, SMOOOOOTH 🔥🔥🔥. As they say in the land of AUS "Good on Ya, Mate!! Luv watching you jam!! 🎶🙌🏻😉

[@natureboy1313]

What a wonderful song. And where are you now.....

[@tinahairston6383]

Definitely backing vocals. I've never seen this video. The Gibbs brothers wrote a lot of songs for other artists that people don't realize. It's only the ones they actually did a version of that you think, what a second, lol. Example, Yvonne Elliman did "If I Can't Have You" for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The Bee Gees have their version as well (b-side of Stayin Alive) but Yvonne's was used in the movie. (Our Love) Don’t Throw It All Away was written by Barry and the Bee Gees recorded it for the SNF soundtrack but it didn't make the cut. Andy did his version of it for his debut album and then the Bee Gees released their version on their greatest hits album a year later.

[@abrahampresence8297]

When disco was poppin it was poppin!!!

[@kindoe66]

Love The Bee Gees,always have. ❤ And imo her version is good. 😁

[@sixbladeknife44]

Remember thinking this was the Bee Gees when it came out when I was a kid 😅

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

Love this song!!

[@jenniferjacobs228]

The Bee Gees basically backed her up. Pretty sure her real name was Cheryl Gray. This song was written by the Bee Gees for Samantha.

[@jaysinger535]

Barry was the only one that sang background on it with Samantha. He wrote it with his late brother Robin. He produced it with Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson.
