What’s the most highest viewed song on the ‪@singitliveworld‬ channel currently? ‘Night Fever’ by the ‪@beegees‬. Yes, go check the stats…
So not unlike a successful movie that decides to ride the wave and milk it with a sequel, this week’s song is ‘You Should Be Dancing’! 💃🕺
I have a chat with lead vocalist Nikki and look at what went into putting the song together.

I was 9 years old when this song came out. The Bee Gees had hit after hit after hit. They were so huge in the late 70's. Thanks again for another insightful behind the song videos!

[@zavman109]

No way Nikki was three in 76. I was 7. She is 41 at the most by appearance. Super singer. You all rock hard!

[@hawkeyedino]

I am going to say, Nikki you grew up in some of the best years of rock and roll. I can still remembered going over to my best friend's house to watch his sister scream and pass-out when the Beatles first came to America. There were so many really good garage bands back in the days and their artists went on to make the big times. I used to hang out with the Panozzo brothers just across Michigan Ave back in Roseland. We used to watch them play all the time and never in our wildest dreams think they would make it big as "Styx". I think Crafty would really like to meet Popa Chubby one day. Popa reminds me of Uncle Fester from the Adams Family, very nice person. I am so lucky to have grown up in this time period. Times of hippies, love and music.

[@PaulBryan-hh8ke]

Would’ve never guessed you were in your 50’s Nikki……. I almost fell off the couch!!!! You look absolutely amazing! Your beautiful smile, positive energy, magnetic aura, and your truly genuine sweetness keep you looking much, much younger……51 is still very young these days. You did a really great job on this very difficult vocal….. You looked amazing as usual in the performance! I love The Bee Gees and I absolutely love you as a performer and as an all around great human being. I’ve recently have had the pleasure of watching a couple of interviews that you have done in the past, as well as watching this one tonight. I can’t get enough of your amazing talent and you are very easy on the eyes…… You’re a real beauty inside and out. And that smile and accent, as well as your genuine sweetness and the plethora of talent you possess just puts me in another world when I watch you perform……..Thank you from the bottom of my heart Nikki. Your #1 fan…… All the best, Peace and love always….❤❤❤❤😊

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Oh Crafty, you brought back so many memories with this one!!! I was playing this song when it came out before I switched over to bass after hearing Little River Band come out with "Happy Anniversary Baby" and Wayne Nelson took over the bass moving forward with them, I was hooked. I met him a few years ago and told him he was the reason I became a bass player, he apologized to my wife. 🤣😂🤣

[@robertngreen6]

Hey Crafty, I am really enjoying your "Behind the Sounds" for my favourite YT channel, Singit Live tracks. In 1976, I was a 9 year old in school. In 2024, I really appreciate the total professionalism of the SIL family, and these insights and chats are really interesting! Thanks! This is currently my favourite Bee Gees song! ❤

[@valeriecrawford9860]

These BTS vid's r wonderful CRAFTY & fun. You get your MISSION from Darren ' Top Secret' Heehee 😆 I have a deeper respect 4 the BEE GEES after revisiting their MUSIC. For me WORLD just gets me in the feels 🥹 💔 I lived DISCO & wouldn't have wanted to miss it 4 the World. You YOUNGIN's 😂 covered this SO WELL. Here's the thing oftentimes Darren gives u a song unfamiliar to u but u do your Homework - Show up @ the Studio & work it out. Ty Crafty & Sil x

[@michaelpwilliams9352]

In ‘76 I was in my 4th year of teaching/coaching at a inner city school ! Nikki is The Best!!

[@w9ran]

You guys make everything look effortless - including such interesting and funny Behind the Sound videos! I'd put "I Started A Joke" on the top of my list, but there's nothing like Night Fever to get a body in motion!

[@daveditcher4059]

I enjoyed this background chat about your BeeGees cover. I am an old guy in Columbus, Ohio. I feel like the best BeeGee stuff was done in the ‘60’s but my favorite from the disco era was “Jive Talkin’”

[@algernon5776]

Did you ever go to York Steakhouse?

[@MattyFitt73]

No way Nikki is the same age as me. Now that means all the products and courses she offers really do work! Sign me up! Any content you produce is great Crafty. Keep em coming!

[@VVellieMan]

This one - You Should Be Dancing - is my #1 Bee Gees song. Great version guys, you did it justice. All I remember about 1976 - being a Brit - was the long hot summer. Kinda like Adelaide every summer I would imagine....

[@cwiii3378]

1976, I was dating my wife, we danced at the clubs. got married 1977, still together. Such a great time to be young.

[@Ray-um3if]

Hi crafty, this song was really enjoyable but more so because of how much you were enjoying it and moving and a grooving throughout the whole thing. I was 16 when this came out.

[@paulguthrie4857]

You all were so tight in that performance! Such a blast to watch, thanks for letting us peak behind the curtain a bit!!

[@user-AT58]

The Bee Gees were amazing in the 70s all the songs were brilliant, but for me, how deep is your Love

[@andrewfudge2341]

Maybe because I am older, I love the early Bee Gees such as To Love Somebody, and I Gotta Get A Message To You, but I think Nikki really nails the disco era Bee Gees. On top of the great vocals, the standout for this one is the bass, sounded almost like a continuous bass solo! Plus the congas really gave it a great vibe. Keep up the interviews Crafty. Love hearing from all the musicians.

[@jaytaylor5291]

My favorite Bee Gees song would have to be "How Deep Is You Love" due to the great harmonies.

[@StephenTighe77]

My favourite Bee Gees album is 'Mr Natural' (1974). Picking my favourite song is like choosing a favourite child but I'd have to say it's a dead heat between 'Heavy Breathing' and 'Dogs' from that album.

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

I so so love those Behind the sound videos...What a great bunch of talented people....thank you..

[@johnfielding5176]

Good one Mr Crafty- Rock - On man🤘, always love this sort of gig

[@theturk143]

#1 song for me is Tragedy. ( vocals are amazing)

[@glevernmv]

Hey Crafty. I enjoy all your Behind the Scenes videos. I was 21 when this song came out. I remember going to the places to dance to all the Disco songs, especially The Bee Gees. Some of my favorite years! I think "How Deep Is Your Love", and "Fanny Be Tender" are two of my Favorites! Keep up the great work. You add a lot of the energy to Sing It Live. The whole group always looks like they are having a great time.

[@darrinsmith3193]

I was 10 when this song came out. Love the BEE GEEs. You all made this look like you have always been playing this song!; Too Much Heaven is my favorite of the BEE GEEs

[@jamesmorrison7692]

Great interview with Nikki! Nice job Crafty! The Bee Gee's have their early years, which I love To Love Somebody. Then you have the disco era, and You Should be Dancing is my favorite there, but Too Much Heaven is right there as well. And post disco era, I have to go with Alone.

[@mldufault9399]

Love this song -- imagine singing with your roller blades on! A year out of high school & embracing 1st year of college away from home 😉.... volunteering, working full-time, so much tomfoolery in the late 70's. "Yeah, we should all be dancing" Insert disco ball image ... but we need Mario's sticks & Damien holding the bass line to keep us together! Thanks again to the ringleader, @Darren Mullen @ProducerNerd

[@Ron-od1lf]

Best Bee Gees song? "How Deep is Your Love" will take some beating. I'm also very fond of "Emotion" which they did with Samantha Sang (aka Cheryl Gray) which Chloe covered just recently. What a catalogue. Barry, Robin and Maurice - and now Nikki.

[@bedicou2003]

Always captivating to watch. Thanks Crafty

[@rikrushton6826]

So many great ones - "More than a woman" - "Emotion" and "How deep is your love" have some amazing lyrics -🙏

[@Shaunholton]

I think it’s gotta be How Deep Is Your Love for me!

[@michaelferik8060]

Hey Crafty, one of my BGs favorites is Nights on Broadway. Never heard a proper cover of it either. Really appreciate the work you are doing with Sing It Live.

[@TorontoBlueJaysFan99]

Really appreciate these behind the scenes of the videos…get to know the artists and how song video produced 👍👍

[@normangallant9879]

Seen the Bee Gees back in Canada in the late seventies

[@mickneals4202]

I was in my late teens working in the largest disco in Orlando FL at the time.

[@chaschampion777]

Bee Gees best/ favorite song? Ooof... Awesome BTS, Crafty! God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

[@JnTmarie]

Disco. Yeah. I agree with your choice Crafty for a fast song and How Deep is your love. For a slow. You’ll make all music sound great Such pros big respect for how you have all honed your craft Crafty🙏🏻✨Thanks. It looks Effortless. Thanks for the good advice. I run Café Artiste the listening room for original music I showcase songwriters weekly live in a special space and I live stream them on Facebook not KZbin. Have to look into how to do KZbin next. You tech guys are so amazing 🙏🏻🎶

[@Earthau]

#1 Living Eyes .

[@michaelpwilliams9352]

My favorite of course is Massachusetts, growing up in Springfield, MA., the birthplace of basketball and home to the Basketball Hall of Fame!!

[@top100attractions8]

Holy shit.. I can't believe she is 51.. No way..

[@alexs3447]

no it can't be .She has the body of a 20 yr old

[@karliheinrich]

I have the original 24 studio tracks and knows exactly the various parts.

[@mickneals4202]

Nice over under cord rapping there Shaun!

[@Shaunholton]

I like a tidy lead 🤘

[@Sonny_AA]

I thought the solo interplay was the highlight of the performance (Amatuer guitar player so maybe I'm biased)

[@charlieharpman2107]

Yes, This was a great video Crafty!!! 😀 keep them coming please 🙏 if i may ask are you and Darren full time musicians?

[@ringspanner]

So Nikki was born the same year as Julio Iglesias, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks, a pretty good looking bunch. Favourites - Islands in the stream, Too much heaven and How deep is your love.

[@tonydecobellis1234]

Nights on Broadway

[@graemeelsender817]

My favourite is If I carnt have you sung by Yvonne Elliman on fever and was the 'B' of Stayin Alive when realised on single

[@vicenteeloycamposrequena364]

Wellcon to spain 😂😂😂

[@ScottBaker_]

Tough question. I think I'll have to go with Tragedy though.

[@roppeke]

Best Bee Gees song? "How Deep is Your Love"

[@bradsouthers7476]

OK first of all the math is all wrong because no way Nikki was 3 when this came out.. had to be -10 or -15 at least. For favorite Bee Gees song... that would have to be "yes, all of them". But... Words; To Love Somebody; Tragedy; Night Fever; I Started a Joke; How Deep is Your Love; Love So Right; just to name a few of them.

[@skip3778]

I thought she was in her 30s.
