The Bee Gees - Time Is Passing By (1960) REACTION

[@Avey-h3f]

They listed Everly brothers as one of their influences. You can really feel it here. They’re adorable to boot.

[@Sandra6411]

@SaeedReacts. Glad you’re still on The Bee Gees bandwagon!!! There is another video of them a little older (1967). To Love Somebody. As others have stated, they can’t read music but they said the songs are in their heads that they just “pluck out of the air”! It’s a gift!!! They wrote all their songs, taught themselves to play multiple instruments, learn how to arrange (strings, horns, etc.), write for other artists, produce themselves and others, all by not knowing how to read or write a lick of music. They did learn cords. There’s a video where they show us how they write songs (THE MAKING OF JUST IN CASE), and they are scatting different cords, so they know the difference from major, minor, etc., cords. Many times they sung the orchestra or brass parts they wanted in their music and someone else would write the notes down. They were music geniuses!

[@SaeedReacts.]

That is simply amazing! Naturals!

[@willow_wise]

Love a good Bee Gees reaction. Love all eras! Thank you.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@elizabethtapley9191]

Wine and Women, the three kisses of love are early songs they sung. Love the Bee Gees

[@LeonieJose-c5u]

Yes two good choices x

[@kthor]

Great choices & written by a young Barry Gibb, as was this song.

[@LeonieJose-c5u]

Excellent, you only have about 1000 more songs to go from these amazing brothers,. There are a lot of really beautiful songs that go through to the 2000s. Thankyou for your reaction ❤ Also interviews, and there one night only concerts, they sounded great live .

[@SaeedReacts.]

The rabbit hole is very deep 😄 Looking forward to explore more. Thanks for watching.

[@LeonieJose-c5u]

@@SaeedReacts. it is indeed but well worth the journey x

[@patrickcoughlan7396]

This was their first appearance on tv,They were going by the bee gees name since 1958.They had their 1st number one anywhere by 1966 called spicks & specks you should check out the video to see how they looked 6 years later.

[@magpiegirl3783]

The Bee Gees are truly amazing in their musicality. It’s in their souls. Writing songs, playing instruments, musical arrangements and then harmonising. British born and Australian raised, they appeared on Australian tv shows and it’s wonderful to be able to see this still. Their first hit was Spicks & Specks where it hit No 1 in Australia, but they’d flown off to Britain by then to explore their options and chances. For a long time, they were kept on the outer by the music industry but the weight of popularity, their extensive body of work and the disco era saw them climb to be wealthy, famous, sought-after performers, and attracted many other artists with their song-writing prowess. Not always known, but they also have a sister who is still living in Australia. She was never involved in their music. Their younger brother, Andy, went out on his own but tragically succumbed to the pressures of success.

[@jessicalee7119]

I love the finger snapping the boys are doing!!!

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

When I grew up in the fifties, my dad had myself and my two older sisters sing in harmony together. He was in the church choir and we liked singing even though we were shy. Sometimes he would have us sing for relatives who came over or for sone of his plumbing and heating customers. There was a tv show called Lawrence Welk who had an orchestra and singers in the show. There were three sisters who sang in harmony on the show. They were The Lennon Sisters. That’s where he got the idea. They were very popular all over the uSA.

[@ingridneumann8196]

So sweet ❤❤❤

[@Kknightmcc]

They were even younger when they started at 9 and 6. They were 14 and 11 on this show.

[@susieq9801]

They were 13 and 10.

[@kthor]

This was late Aug, so Barry was almost 14. The twins 4 months from turning 11.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

There are several videos of them as kids they were regulars on a tv show. Some of the early songs are Wine and Women, Battle of the Blue and Gray and Three kisses of love. ❤

[@ilonahesseling4821]

The Bee Gees are an amazing group to discover. Don't forget "First of May". And something very different comes to mind, because it is almost the time: Zager and Evans - "In the year 2525". 🙂

[@kthor]

Yes on First of May!♥️

[@Renata.06]

O Barry vendida refrigerante ai hj ele é um homem que venceu na vida juntos com seus dois irmãos. ❤

[@lauravettoretti1323]

Love them throughout the years. The best for me are the concerts (One for All 1989 or One Night Only 1997) when they sing parts of several of their older songs standing around one microphone with Barry playing the guitar. Amazing quality. Check it out.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will look that one up! Thanks for watching.

[@lauravettoretti1323]

​​@@SaeedReacts.The portion I'm referring to of the 1989 concert is posted on YT as "Medley One for All" and the One Night Only entire concert is posted on YT... the medley portion starts at the 50:10 mark.

[@SVT293]

Note that Barry's guitar strap is a rope!

[@gwenmorantz7767]

Written by Barry Gibb when he was about 13 years old. This is the first song they performed on tv in 1960, Barry was 13 or 14, the twins would have been 10 or 11. Their baby brother Andy would have been around 2 at this time.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

So funny to see them so well-behaved, quiet and shy on stage back then. Before they were criminals, Barry had a sentence for stealing a minicar, Robin loved to set fires (e.g. traffic signs...) and the police advised their parents to leave the country. Barry once said that music and the desire to be famous saved them from ending up as criminals!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Oh really? I had no idea about that.

[@lauravettoretti1323]

They were from a very poor family and were likely left to their own devices for much of the time. Seems like there was a lot of love in the Gibb family.... for music and for each other.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

They were wonderful. And they never learned to read music When they wrote songs someone else in the band had to manuscript them. Yet they all, even Robin, played instruments by ear.

[@kthor]

Robin basically played up until '70, then never played live or on albums.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

@@kthor Yes I always wondered why. Perhaps the record companies decided it was tidier to have two musicians and a singer, upfront.

[@kthor]

@@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey I've seen some say he wasn't able to concentrate on two things at once, & was more comfortable with just singing.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

@@kthor Perhaps. I read similar that he said he wanted to keep his instruments for the studio and song writing.

[@mikemiller3069]

Bee Gees stands for "brothers Gibb"

[@catherinehoffpauir6323]

I did not know that!

[@kthor]

It actually started as the initials BG, which stood for Barry & Barbara Gibb, plus 2 other guys who helped discover them in Australia, who had the same initials, BG. Eventually they went with the sound of those 2 letters spelled out!

[@dshaak1]

Thank you for this, Saeed. I have not viewed this one before!! ♥

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for watching!

[@leeyaferguson9019]

💔💔💔Robin, Maurice and Andy. 🙏🙏🙏

[@johnbattles1002]

Barry, not Andy here.

[@magpiegirl3783]

@@johnbattles1002this person is offering RIP to the dead brothers, not identifying who was singing in the clip.

[@kathieovercash8414]

Barry was born in 1947 and the Bee Gees were established in 1958. That was also the year their younger brother Andy was born.

[@kthor]

Barry was born in '46.👍

[@lt6134]

I believe this was late September 1960, so Barry just turned 14& the twins were 9. They had already been performing for @5 years by 1960.

[@rwilson7197]

Great reaction! ❤ They are so cute at that age. Also please react to these hits: I Cant See Nobody ( Melbourne 74 live) Alone (footage of them recording this song in the official video) Rings Around the Moon (not the funeral video), Love You Inside Out (funky & amazing) Embrace (released 2001) Fallen Angel (released 1993) Run to Me (1972) How do you Mend a Broken Heart (1971) Bodyguard ( classic 80s R&B) All their Midnight Special performances are good & nicely recorded

[@SaeedReacts.]

Its amazing to see and hear. Thanks for watching and the recommendations.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

You should react to Barry Gibb’s Daddy’s Girl. Beautiful song. ❤

[@bazkeen]

What a throwback 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Some guitars can fetch crazy prices. David Gilmour's Black Strat went for $4million then not long after that Kurt Cobain's Martin Acoustic went for $6 million 😮😮😮

[@SaeedReacts.]

The title is fitting 😄

Please react to THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN by the BEEGEES thanks

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@jeannemara1600]

They couldn't read music, believe it or not.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Wow! Mindblowing!

[@deepbluehue3]

Forgive me that I'm not focusing on the song here but That announcer , I believe has that ' Mid-Atlantic ' ( TransAtlantic ) accent sound to his words ... It was more commonly used in old time movies in the United States ... I know he's Australian but I guess some chose to utilize that affect there too ... ~ Add's a proper distinguished aire .

[@SaeedReacts.]

I noticed that, but wasnt sure enough of myself too comment 😅. It happens 😄

[@deepbluehue3]

@@SaeedReacts. Interesting : I looked it up ... " The Transatlantic accent, also known as the Mid-Atlantic accent, is a dialect that blends aspects of American and British English. It's thought to have originated in the early 1900s when AUSTRALIAN phonetician William Tilly coined the term "World English" to describe his speech standard. " ... . Tilly's goal was to create a dialect that was understood by both Americans and the British, and that didn't have a distinctive regional dialect. The accent was taught in finishing schools for wealthy American families, as well as in American schools of acting. It fell out of favor / people stopped using it in the 60's and 70's " ...

They keep looking off in one direction, probably dad is coaching a bit. They said dad was always telling them to smile.
