The Younger Bee Gees!! Bee Gees - To Love Somebody (1967) REACTION

[@maryruggiero2884]

This song was written by the Bee Gees for Otis Redding who died in a plane crash before he could record it, so they recorded it.

[@Ida-qc5rd]

I loved Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay."

[@carolespinoza8469]

That's. Mo, my forever love ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@laurelcarter1573]

They did this over 5 decades. They were nowhere near their peak but were still successful. They were still teenagers here, or at least the twins were. Barry was 21. It's the most replayed part because nobody expects that sound to come from Mo lol.

[@simply_me_1438]

Barry is lead in this song. Robin and Maurice (pronounced Morris nicknamed Mo) backing vocals. Mo absolutely curled my toes with that bit he did! That's why it's most replayed! He was/is my favorite. Fine in any decade🤤

[@AndreaWilson-x2x]

I just realized that Barry sounds so much like Andy in this song!!

[@dl00076]

Yess!!

[@vandoraginther6421]

This beautiful song was written for Otis Redding but before he could have it recorded he died in a plane crash. The Bee Gees decided to go on to record it and of course it's beautiful. They were young here Barry was 20 and the twins were 17, so talented. Great pick

[@juliegood7999]

My Brothers Gibb….love them

[@teriwilkinson7816]

Shon, this was 1967. The beginning of their career. They actually formed in 1958. Barry was 12 and the twins robim and maurice were only 9 yrs old.

[@ingridgonzalez9048]

Few people remember the Alan's Parker movie Melody, with Bee Gees Soundtrack included this song.

[@lindabqc]

Love love my Bee Gees. Great Reaction

[@barbarasumby325]

Unbeatable, beautiful men beautiful music for eternity ❤❤❤❤

[@RobynHurley-zp9sh]

I was born in 1967. Mind blown

[@sallieb6435]

MASSACHUSETTS ... Robins' voice

[@rebeccalipps23]

There were 4 Gibb brothers: Barry, Robin, Maurice, & Andy. Andy didn't perform with the brothers long before venturing out on his own. I like the pre-disco Bee Gees "Gotta Get a Message to You" & "Massachusetts".

[@debbicook1584]

LOVE the BeeGees, been listening to them since the mid 60's ❤❤

[@Sonia-tf4og]

Beautiful song ☺🙏

[@FUBAR1986]

One of my all-time favorite songs I was five from this came out…

[@michellejackson6679]

Way before their Disco days... love it .. Yes I'm old.... I was born this year... but they actually came into their prime when Barry started doing faulcetto in the mid 70's... what you have to love the most about them.. they wrote their own music for themselves and so many other artists.. Celine Dion being just one.. the soundtracks they wrote ... these boys were beyond talented.

[@charlesstraight5499]

The brother that sings that part at the end actually the two parts is Maurice.

[@missmina1]

This is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs and I really enjoyed your reactions to it.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with this great group & had a lot of their albums. Most people react to their disco era. My favorites are from the 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "The Singer Sang His Song", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First Of May", "I Started A Joke", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Massachusetts" etc.

[@AlamoDame7]

I love your reactions to the Bee Gees!! Thanks! The brother at the piano who did that "Oooh no,no" near the end, since the camera was on him, was Maurice. Then when someone sang an ad-lib, echoing Barry (lead singer here) with "you don't know what it's like-" - that's Robin. Now on the recorded track, who's singing what may be different brothers. I'm not sure, bur it sounds like Robin.

[@LeciaPurks]

One of my favorite songs by them

[@sheilathailand1903]

Loved this reaction! This is one of my fave songs by them!

[@ingridneumann8196]

I love the Bee Gees. Every Song is a surprice 🕺🥰👍

[@marthayoung2308]

"Words" is my favorite BeeGees song, from the early years also, which were the best, in my opinion. Anything they did was great though. Deep dive on them is a GIFT! Lol

[@wild62meg47]

You are doing great! The brothers are younger here and it IS a different vibe. This is early Bee Gees -- in the 1960s they did mostly rock ballads. Then in the 70s they did mostly disco. They were great in both genres! Try "Words," released in 1968.

[@bella-xp7qd]

They started when Barry was 9 and twins were 6. One of my first songs that introduced me to them, back when I was a sophomore in high school. Prior to 1975 Barry didn't use his falsetto. That wasn't used until Nights on Broadway song. They changed their style with the times.

[@FierySquirrel.]

Man,this takes me back....my Dad used to love this song,looked like Barry himself and dressed like him in the 60's!😄Very stylish...thanks for this,Shon!

[@LlejaSwordsinger]

They are brothers so grew up singing together in their bedroom, no jealousy just whatever the song requires. In the 60s I would listen to them on my portable record player in my bedroom. Great days. Their name BeeGees comes from their name The Brothers Gibb. Some of the classic songs ever made. 🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@nelerhabarber5602]

Contrary to popular belief, the name Bee Gees does not come from the initials of "Brothers Gibb". Early in their career, promoter Bill Goode introduced the Gibb brothers to radio DJ Bill Gates. He named the Bee Gees after his own and Goode's initials. For them it was okay, because Barry Gibb, mother Barbara Gibb and Brothers Gibb also had the initials B and G!

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

This was my favourite live performance of To Love Somebody 😊❤

[@Anne.Pinkerton]

They have been doing this a lot longer than 30 years!!! From the 50's through the 90's!!! Barry is STILL making music! The "guy" you're loving' is Maurice Gibb, Robin's twin brother. The "lead" singer is Barry Gibb, the oldest brother and the only one still living and making music! The had a younger brother, Andy, but he passed away very young just before becoming the 4th Bee Gee!

[@Kknightmcc]

The last album was in 2001, then Barry did more albums after Robin and Maurice passed away.

[@ricelaker]

I really loved this song when it came out and still do.

[@sergiozammel8261]

Thanks for your reaction to this very special song by the Bee Gees. As an old fart 65 , I can attest that few songs come close as a love song to project the feeling this one does. The music is just perfect as is the guys. Music at its finest !

[@susanalexander6721]

Barry wrote this song for Otis Redding, sadly he didn't get to record it. They were performing as little kids. Went through many Eras, but did it their way. This is my favorite of all.❤❤❤ The Bee Gees stood for The Brothers Gibb, their last name.

[@negf22]

Great reaction, Barry ( the tallest and the oldest) was lead on this song. He wrote this in an evening. He originally wrote it for Otis Redding, but he died in a plane crash before he could record it. The one on 5he piano doing the interjections at the end is Maurice ( pronounced Morris, his brothers call him Mo), the other one is Robin. Their last name is Gibb. They were all born in Douglas on the Isle of Man, when they were young their parents moved back to Manchester England. In 1958 the family emigrated to Australia shortly after youngest brother Andy ( who had a solo career and was supposed to goin the group later on I. The same year he died. Barry, the oldest is the only one still alive. He lives in Miami now with his wife Linda, he married in 1970. He has 5 grown children, 4 boys and one girl and last I heard 8 grandchildren. He has an older sister Leslie that still lives in Australia and has I think 9 children and breeds dogs. Barry was 20/21 in this video. The twins ( fraternal, not identical) were 17 then. Barry holds both US and UK citizenship.

[@oxford17]

There are a few videos of them when they are just little kids. You know they are brothers, right? I actually prefer the 60s stuff. Robin leads in “I start a joke.” It’s great. “Massachusetts” is fabulous. The reason they lasted is they were able to adapt to new popular genres of music. This song features Barry’s real register. He hit the falsetto later, and people loved it, so he kept doing it. They are: Barry Gibb, the eldest, and the younger twins, Maurice and Robin Gibb. The baby, who also became a singer, was Andy Gibb. They are all dead now, except Barry. He gets a little weepy when he talks about them all. I got to see them live in 1976 when I was 16. They were a gift to this world.

[@OLD-MAN-GOLF-USA]

These 3 brothers were in their teens here in the 1960's.

[@AlamoDame7]

Barry was 20 on Sept 1, 1966, so he was just shy of 21 when this song was released in 1967. The twins were 18 by Dec. 22, 1967.

[@dl00076]

One of my dads favorite song ... I remember him singing it from time to time before he went to Nam

[@francisxray9900]

Another great performance of them in Beat Club was the track 'World' in 1968. It's psychadelic-rock.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Yes Maurice done his last part of the song amazing 😊❤

[@DavidSmith-xh5ou]

Great Reaction This and Fannie Be Tender my 2 favorite BEEGEES songs

[@MOS650]

Barry is lead here,check out Bee Gees as Robin takes lead - Massachusetts ( All For One Tour) , Maurice Closer Than Close live.

[@bryanCJC2105]

These guys had "soul" from Day One! This song could just as easily have come from the Motown label. I really think you would enjoy watching the HBO documentary hosted by Barry Gibb (the last surviving Bee Gee) called "The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart".

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Love your reactions Shon.❤

[@SamdraJohnson]

Their names is Barry, Robin& Maurice they had younger brother but he would usually had his own solo , but actually he would play or sing with his brothers & his name was Andy

[@kerrypapworth1526]

How good were the Bee Gees. Other brilliant songs from the Bee Gees are: Massachusetts Lonely Day Spicks & Specks I started a Joke And so many more 💕 They also wrote many songs for other performers like Barbara Streisand and Dolly Parton.

[@suzanne7569]

This was great! BeeGees, Black Sabbath and Fleetwood Mac pretty much defined my youth.

[@amandathibodeau4996]

Loved your reaction! I'll be following your reactions!

[@wandalewis5097]

They wrote all their music. Awesome Band. Barry is the only one living. LOL that was Maurice

[@Zeigled-j8d]

Welcome Robin to the chorus

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤❤Shon...please check out their youngest brother Andy. He passed away very young, but was very talented too. ❤❤

[@williamsmith2865]

Another group to check out is The Mills Brothers--Basin Street Blues, will blow your mind.

[@LizzieRD]

The Mills Brothers are the Bee Gees inspiration. They listened to them as they were growing up, when their father was in a big band. They met them eventually. BTW this song was written for Otis Redding, who died before he could record it. It would have been phenomenal, but better than this? Dont know. Maybe just different. Like Nina Simones version. And yeah, that Mo ad lib is awesome. Love it

[@sandramoore]

Tom Jones did a great cover of this in the 1970's. I've also heard some fine covers on singing shows like American Idol. I believe Joshua Ledet killed the song on Idol.

[@davidadams5280]

I don't know if you saw my post the last time but I suggested this song.

[@MOS650]

I strongly suggest Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine live (beat club).

[@MM-rd4wm]

I know they show Maurice during those parts that stand out at the end, but that is Robin. Mo is fantastic as well and adds great parts in different songs but in this case it's Robin. This is a live version of "Nights on Broadway" Maurice steals the whole song at the end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7TpqOGZqxojsk

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

No, that is Mo, not Robin.

[@kthor]

@@rebeccamcvey8600 Yes, definitely Mr Mo!👍

[@RandomJane104]

The one on camera appearing to singing that fire part is Maurice (pronounced Morris) but I suspect it was really Robin (the one standing behind the lead) Barry. I could be wrong. Maurice does have a nice voice and he can go very high but it was out of character and I don't remember him ever sounding like that. Robin though, that man had some pipes.

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

That is Mo!!!

[@camiamayo5093]

😎😎😎😎

[@dubivxler]

💪👍👏

[@deewonders6959]

♥️🎶

[@kate89polishgirl31]

You should listen to other brothers songs like "Massachusetts" or "Closer than Close"

[@springpickens3255]

Hi Shon. I'm a new sub and really enjoy your reactions. I'd really like to see your reaction to Upchurch - Said Fuck it. it's a jab at the music industry since he's independent and it's hilarious! ... And Vinyl... And Homefree - End of the road and The Butts Remix. You MUST do the Butts Remix!

[@c3kerl561]

Can you play " Take Me to Church " by Hozier

[@pennymcneela7095]

That line wouldn't be accepted in today's society what with the Woke ~ "I'm a Man can't you see what I am" ?, yes I can see you are a Man Barry more so when you wear your tight white trousers. By, I love this group.

[@megan22004]

I enjoy your reactions. Now go down the rabbit hole of Barbara Streisand.

[@ruanniemann2604]

Nina Simone also sings the absolute brakes off this song too, live in Montreal
