@JayveeTV can you please do a couple of reactions to “Man In The Middle” and “This is Where I Came in” two songs from their 2001 Album I’d love to hear your take on both songs. Love your content, keep it up

[@paulette2597]

JayveeTV, thank you for reviewing some of the music of my fav band of all time the Bee Gees. As a black person from Manchester UK where the Bee Gees spent many childhood years, I listened to many genres of music. The Bee Gees touched my soul in so many ways beyond words. Forever a fan. I hope you will explore many more of their amazing harmonic productions.... enjoy 😍

[@paulette2597]

JayveeTV, just a suggestion, pls review their younger brother, Andy Gibb. The song is Shadow Dancing, you won't be disappointed 😉

Barry and Andy, so damn handsome. The brothers have died in the reverse order they were born: Andy (the baby), Maurice (younger twin), Robin (older twin). Poor Barry and sister Leslie. 😔

[@foots-qt4pk]

Baby Barry was 21, Robin and Maurice were 18! To writing songs like this at such a young age, is amazing to me. That was Maurice on the piano with his awesome voice. Barry didnt always sing lead. Try listening to the other brothers songs, like Robins "I Started a Joke" , and Maurices "Man in the Middle"

I wish Otis had s chance to record this song, it's perfect for his voice and style. I can imagine him singing it and it would have been a classic. The Bee Gees did a beautiful, heartfelt job on it though.

Maurice really knocked his five second long highlight out of the park. He really put a lot of emotion into his singing and sang almost a counterpoint to Barry. Amazingly polished for two 18 year olds and their big brother Barry, who was 21! They sounded so in tune with each other like singers who had sung together on stage for 20 years.

[@jenniferjacobs228]

I am old enough to remember them being on Bandstand for the first time, in Sydney Australia. They were very young and living in Oz , growing up.

[@walshaw2]

Never have you spoken truer words and I quote you " I gotta go through their whole catalogue now, man."

[@katie-didellis2437]

They have about thirty maybe 31 or 32 albums you can go through. And their catalog contains about 1060 songs. Some they've never cut or released. Barry is a hit songwriter not only for the Beegees but also for other people. His collaboration with his brothers was phenomenal. They could really write.

[@walshaw2]

@@katie-didellis2437 Yes! " I am a Woman in Love" by Barbra Streisand and "Islands in The Stream" by Dolly and Kenny amongst so many that Barry wrote.....Barry comes very close to Paul McCartney as one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

[@michelleforbes3525]

"How Deep is your Love"... I was 5 when the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack came out. My dad loved the BeeGees during his time in Vietnam, so my family were huge fans. I thought the song was written for me, "...it's me you need Michelle, how deep is your love..." when it was really, "to show how deep is your love..." I listened to that tape, especially the first 4 songs, then I'd hit rewind and start again.... dancing and singing on my parents bed in front of their mirror on the dresser. A corny song you still might like is "Edge of the Universe" off their Main Course album.

They were so young here! They had a fourth brother, Andy Gibb, who also sang.

[@katie-didellis2437]

In 1967, the Twins were 18 and Barry was 21. Very very young. Being young was partly responsible for their breakup. As Mo later said in an interview, "immature."

I fell in love with a grown up man when I was in 3rd grade when I heard that song!

[@DreamsSketcher]

So wonderful. Incredible talent. Great contributions to music. After disco went out of fashion, The Bee Gees became a bit of a joke, no one wanted to hear them. SO they wrote many hit songs for many artists without folks realizing it was them! Their writing credits are incredible lists of hits for diverse, legendary singers.

[@katie-didellis2437]

@DreamsSketcher After that period of writing for others, they came back with some wonderful hits. I think You Win Again was their 1st hit after that. Sorry I get mixed up it may have been Alone or One. They are all my favs, depends which one I'm listening to.

[@robhugh535]

Their first US hit was "The New York Mining Disaster" , which had an unusual subject matter and some ambiguous lyrics which helped the rumor at the time, that the label itself kind of encouraged that it was really the Beatles, but after that they were permanent hit makers. And then reinvented themselves during the Disco era and became even bigger. They pretty much defined the sound of an era.

[@susieq7401]

Rob Hugh53 - It was supposed that the Mining Disaster was actually about the Aberfan disaster in Wales in 1966 but they changed the place name to New York to get a wider audience.

Robin actually did most of the late 60's leads. The 1989 Melbourne concert also had, in my opinion, Robin's best rendition of "I Started a Joke". He received about a minute's standing ovation for his performance.
