SURPRISE SURPRISE BEE GEES WITH LINDA TOMLINSON

My mum meeting the Bee Gees when I wrote away to Surprise! Surprise! for her - I was 16 so please excuse the bad hair day!!! :)))

[@lisaart4576]

I wrote to the show as mum & dad had had a few deaths in the family and also a burglary - in which among a lot of other things, my mum's whole beegees collection got stolen. They didn't tell me that the Bee Gee's would definately be there, but the researcher said they would do what they could. So until the actual show I didn't know for definate is they would show up or not. My mum thought I'd won a night's stay in London to see the recording of a television show and stay in a lovely hotel. :)

I love how she was so concerned about Barry's health, and he was the first one to come out. Thrilling.

Yup, made it even more special for everyone!☺️

[@jennifernelson6542]

Mo & Barry are such Gentlemen. Each of them keeping a hand on Linda's back to keep her balanced & on her feet. SO SWEET!! Me, personally, I would have fainted, right then & there. OMG! Barry was SO CUTE the way he popped his head around that corner. Barry, Robin & Maurice are all such WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL Men! MIss Robin, Mo & Andy, Every Single Day.... Love them, now & Forever...

The way Barry pokes his head out...no wonder so many people loved them.

[@Honey0269]

This video shows what caring, humble, and goodhearted people the Bee Gees are. They gave so much personal touch to make one of their fans extremely surprised and unbelieavably happy. Not many famous or well known 'stars' would go out of their way to do something like this. They also gave so much to charities and to fight causes like diabetes. BEE GEES ARE THE BEST! (RIP: Andy, Maurice and Robin) Sing with the angels!

[@andreamaryannmoran5306]

So True❣

[@jayjo77144]

Those Bee Gees are a class act. True gentlemen and definitely the most talented musicians there ever was.

this is the best cilla black surprise surprise ever,and it was wonderful that the bee gees agreed to surprise a loyal fan of the band

[@sleeve51]

I was fortunate enough to attend the first Bee Gee performance in the U.S. Anaheim Convention Ctr. Jan 28, 1968. If memory serves me well. Thee best group in recorded history.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Which is why they've sold more records than almost anyone else.

[@magg93]

the most down to earth superstars ever!

[@debmcpartland9528]

Hi Lisa I'm from Australia and seeing this made me remember not that I'd forgotten. I was a 13 year old girl at the time I went to the Bee Gees concert with my mum and Dad. I had a huge crush on Robin. After the concert we all went back stage to get their Autographs . I lined up to get Robins Autograph and someone at the back pushed forward and I fell over and I started to cry but I tried to hide it I didnt want Robin to see. Next thing I knew someone lifted me up and he asked if I was ok. I looked up to answer him and I couldn't believe it it was Robin, He got me to stand away and I thought I wasn;t going to get his autograph. Then I saw him say something to a security man. Then Robin Signed his Autograph on their new LP ONE and he gave it to me. He was so genuinely kind and caring. That was a night I would never forget and that was a night I wished I was 10 years older. He was so kind Any other group probably would leave me On the ground But not Robin.

[@Buffbino]

How lovely to hear about Robin's kindness towards you! Thanks for sharing this wonderful story!

[@DebbieMarthey-jn2kh]

What a wonderful story showing Robin’s kindness!

[@vilmavillaluz2152]

the bros were as sweet as their songs..so kind, so human for their cooperation in this show..

[@kellybetts2690]

Even now Barry acknowledges the fans as being everything to them. It showed in all they did. Wonderful boys. Their mother was very proud. :)

[@teenamccarty9018]

I had never heard this song, it’s beautiful just like all their music

[@Lulu4Him]

What a wonderful gift for your Mum. ! These men (The Bee Gees) are so kind, and loving. It would have been something to be part of their family, to have grown up with them. Can you imagine! Laughter all the time.

[@eaccristo]

I would have embarrassed myself. Imagine kissing and hugging those talented handsome men? So happy for her.

[@craigmusic1707]

This is precious; especially now that Robin and Maurice are no longer with us...Wonderful child!

[@rockinrowdy13]

excellent Lisa! your Mum is a lucky lady to have you as a daughter! and to meet the BeeGees too,I don't know what I'd do! "Ordinary people living ordinary lives" It seems the Brothers Gibb were true "ordinary people" who obviously cared for their fans. I have heard so many stories of them chatting and doing exceptional things for their fans snd this clip is just a show of small proof. you did good by your Mum Lisa! :-)

[@sebastiaomagnodealmeida916]

Wow - what a special daughter you must be, Lisa! Obviously, you wrote a very well written and convincing letter to the show for them to organize all this for your Mom and family. You and your family were so extremely fortunate to have the blessing of the Bee Gees presence and personal dedication/performance! WOW!!! I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in any of your shoes (figure of speech) at that moment! Thank you for sharing your special memories with the world!

The Bee Gee's, a fabulous group, so talented to be able to produce all the songs they did, not only for themselves, but for other artists too! It was particularly nice of Barry to say to Linda "Thanks for caring, love" as he walked away to prepare to sing. That CD is very good, I'm learning to play the song 'Blue Island' on my Yamaha Keyboard, just love it. So good to watch this again after all these years.

Aww Lisa! This is so precious! I've just now viewed this video, thank you for keeping it uploaded all these years! What a wonderful treat this turned out to be. Cheers to your kind heart for thinking of your mom so lovingly to write into the program. You and your dad were gems for thinking to try and treat her to such a treasure. The boys were so genuinely kind, and I loved it when your mom endorsed the new album so wholeheartedly when it was announced, a true fan! The years have gone by, but the music remains. It is what I turn to, to cheer the darkness away as well as celebrate all the good. I hope whoever stole your mom's music collection kept them and enjoyed. As sad as that was, it certainly ended up facilitating something amazing! xx

Bittersweet now that Cilla is gone, as are Maurice and Robin Gibb. Hope your mum is well still and cherishing her time with her wonderful daughter.
