THE HARMONIES! | Fanny Be Tender With My Love - The Bee Gees (Reaction)

[@duke4384]

Quincy Jones said this is the best R&B song he ever heard!

[@kennethcelorio4937]

Yes he did. And that's the highest praise you can get in the R&B world.

[@duke4384]

@@kennethcelorio4937 Right on, brother!

[@IndianOutlaw1870]

The Bee Gees' best song, in my humble opinion.

[@TheNo1bucsfan]

My favorite song!! The Bee Gees were the greatest ever!

[@nothingelse9602]

Hands down,the best Bee Gees performance of all time!

[@renee8437]

Love Barry using his lower register. He can sing anything. And Maurice singing the chorus Be Tender with my Love at the end was outstanding. His voice is rarely featured. Love him. Love the Bee Gees! Period! One of the greatest groups to ever grace the music scene. Ever!

[@AliasMark69]

The Gibb brothers sang with ONE VOICE. Nobody else like them, or ever will be again.

[@phill1537]

“To Love Somebody’ is a great song by Bee Gees and of course ‘More Than a Woman’ has such great lyrics

[@gloriaguzman729]

What beautiful song!

[@BGWhisperer]

That song is pure fire. I’ve always loved the Bee Gees.

[@jameshowland7393]

This song and "Too Much Heaven" are my favorite Bee Gees songs.

[@susandeusterman8771]

Ohhh… Bee Gees … the 70s, my generation ❤❤ best music ever!!!

[@Pait728]

Mo's bass guitar really drives this song. The vocal arraignment is so intricate. This one always reminds of the Philly soul sound

[@robinfry4408]

Agree!! The arrangement is such ear candy...that bass is the bomb, Mo was the best....the tempo of this song always gets me, IMO, the Gibbs were without peer with their composition, lyrics, vocal delivery & live performance abilities & I include Andy🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@flynntaylor5459]

Definitely spot on. To this day I don't think any bee gees song can top what they did here. The complication of so many vocal ranges and their ability to keep up with those changes within each other's part. Fanny is their masterpiece. Reminds me of the chi lites and blue magic the stylistics just wow and the bees gees could fit right in. So unbelievably brilliant they still awe me.

[@sherrifigueroa1272]

Yes, and he got more attention on vocals than usual, he always had special bc he was underrated & he got sexier with age😍☺️

[@bellalugosi5853]

One of my faves

[@AlamoDame7]

Oh, joy! Love this song!! Thank you, JMBOY!

[@cindyknudson2715]

Love this song. This one has their voices so layered. Mo said they didn't do it live because it was too difficult (since one person can't be singing two parts at once. 🙂)

[@dubivxler]

bee gees love you inside out

[@luckylisa5496]

Such a great song - there's so many more they had before their disco era music. Recommend "Nights on Broadway" to hear all of them mixing highs and lows from person to person so you sometimes can't tell WHO is singing what notes. They were incredibly versatile with their vocal arrangements.

[@catserver8577]

It's my favorite Bee Gees song. such an ear worm!

[@singluna888]

Its a beautiful love song. Its stunningly beautiful.

[@johneldridge8678]

Excellent reaction!!! They went nuts with the falsettos at the end.

[@marshastapleton1148]

Perfect in every way

[@markrichards4042]

Spanning the many many years of music, this song just unmatched in so many ways. Never again.

[@suzanneprock7286]

This is my favorite Bee Gees song. Beautiful! This song shows their individual ranges and how easily they switch back and forth from Alto to Falsetto.

[@joanbadzik904]

WOW! My era, lots of memories 😍

[@lynnnguyen7150]

According to Maurice Gibb, producer Quincy Jones called "Fanny" one of his favorite R&B songs of all time.

[@joeynarciso94]

Probably with that arrangement and the degree of emotion, the harmonies including showcasing Maurice's voice more, that amazing transcendent building up of the passion plus both Barry and Robin doing the falsettos here, like Quincy Jones said - definitely one of the BeeGee's most addictive songs ever!! Just amazing guys!!!

[@rwilson7197]

Love the fact you listen to the whole song You get a feel for it before assessing it right away.❤Please react to Too Much Heaven, Nights on Broadway, Love You Inside Out, To Love Somebody, More Than a Woman, Reaching Out, Blue Island. Run To Me... so many great hits. ❤❤❤

[@AliasMark69]

Three brothers, two of them Twins, singing together since 6 (Barry) and 4 (Robin/Maurice) years old. I know of no other group that has harmonies like the Gibb Brothers. They turned it into their signature sound. There are many very good ones, but none better.

[@flynntaylor5459]

It's a wonderful presentation of all of them and their individual contributions. Just a note 📝 you can't fully appreciate Maurice and robins vocals on this track unless you watch it live... I think so much attention was focused on barry because of his looks that many of us thought he was the sound of this band... but he is NOT. The bees gees sound is really a blend of robin and Barry vocals as a distinct Signature sound and the harmonizing of all three of them. Mo said in an interview that most of the song is robin and Barry singing together and vocally on top of one another. Mo also sings on some low ranges too but he seems content to be the bassman on this particular song. But the true gift of the brothers gibb was there effortlessly flawless harmonies no other band has their ability to fall into each other's vocal ranges perfectly. And they do it naturally. That's pure genius 👏 ❤ and in 50 years it's never sounded different purely smooth as silk.

[@angelinasanchez5083]

Bee Gees do know how to write and sing beautiful love songs. Thanks for the great reaction. Please React to a beautiful Bee Gees R&B song REACHING OUT from their 1979 Spirits Having Flown album. ❤❤❤

[@AliasMark69]

The Best Bee Gees was before and after they had their Disco Success. You want to hear Robin doing "I Started A Joke".... "I Can't See Nobody".... "And The Sun Will Shine".... what a voice.

[@lauraallen55]

Don't forget For Whom The Bell Tolls and Massachusetts for more Robin. :)

[@duke4384]

It wasn't DISCO but R&B. After all these decades, people still misclassify their sound.

[@pcaron3521]

Just your opinion

[@AliasMark69]

That MILLIONS agree with.@@pcaron3521

[@duke4384]

@@pcaron3521 No, just a fact! All disco was R&B that's danceable. Most of the biggest hit makers of the 70s, the so-called disco movement, denied they were disco 2 of the biggest groups that come to mind are the Bee Gees and KC and the Sunshine band. They claimed they were R&B, so who do I believe, You or the people who wrote & sang the songs? It's not my opinion, it's people like you who falsely label a group and say “It's Your Opinion”! This is the so-called first disco song, if you listen to it well, it is R&B with a groovy beat, that's it really. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nabXdmt_Zbmeaac si=I7F95scuu9NV-Kl1

Such a great song! New sub here!

Robin said Fanny was a maid while they were recording the album.

[@Sandra6411]

Love your Bee Gee reactions The Bee Gees were more than just disco! I’m not sure if you’ve reacted to any of these, but here’s a list with my interpretation of what genre I think they fall under: (just disregard the ones you’ve already reacted to) Too Much Heaven (R&B) How Deep Is Your Love (R&B Ballard) Staying Alive (disco) Night Fever (disco) You Should Be Dancing (R&B or disco) Fanny be tender with my love (R&B) Jive Talking (R&B) Nights on Broadway (R&B/Funk) Tragedy (Techno? Pop) More than a woman (Disco/R&B) Love you inside out (Funk/pop) To love somebody (R&B) Massachusetts (pop/country) Wind of Change (funk/r&b), live 1975 from the Midnight Special) Alone (pop) Love So Right (R&B) Words (pop, 1979 Spirits Tour) Lonely Days (pop) You Win Again (pop) Run to Me (pop) How Can you mend a broken heart (R&B) Kiss of Life (rock) Rest Your Love on Me Awhile (country) Bodyguard (R&B) The 1989 One for all tour medley (excellent vocals & some humor) Some that only the avid Bee Gee fans might know that you might want to react to: My Lover’s Prayer (pop ballard) Letting Go (pop ballard) Subway (R&B) You Stepped Into My life (Funk/r&b) Children of the World (pop) Search, Find (pop or R&B) Songs written by Barry Gibb (that other artists sung), alone or with his brothers (Robin &!Maurice Gibb): If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman) Woman in Love ( Barbra Streisand). In fact, Gibb wrote every song on her Guilty CD, and did 2 duets with her. And he did most of the background vocals on a lot of the songs. Islands in the Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partons). In fact, Barry wrote all the songs on Kenny's "Eyes that See in the Dark" CD Heartbreaker (Deion Warwick). In fact, Barry wrote every song on this CD too. The Bee Gees also did the Background vocals. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross) and yes, Barry wrote all the songs on this CD too. Barry also did the background vocals. Immortality (Celine Dion) The Bee Gees also sung background. More Than a Woman (Tavares) Love Me (Yvonne Elliman) Come on Over (Olivia Newton John) Emotions (Samantha Sang, with a lot of background vocals with Barry). Destiny's Child also recorded it. Grease--from the movie (Frankie Valli) Heart Beating in Time (Leo Sayer) Let me wake up in your arms (Lulu), who use to be married to Maurice Gibb A lot of Andy Gibb songs (Shadow Dancing, Everlasting Love, Love is Thicker than Water, Our Love, Don't Throw It Away; Desire;)

Just a suggestion, Night Wish, "ghost love score" you'll love it

[@Reno_Slim]

Or, "My Love, Be Tender With My Fanny".

[@beeharbour]

This was too stupid to give a thumbs up to, yet I felt I had to acknowledge the effort somehow.

[@SharonMcglothlin]

Robin could match Barry's falsetto but, Barry couldn't touch Robin's vibrato.

[@roseblake5803]

Robin could reach the falsetto but couldn’t hold the note and move it around like Barry …Barry could also do vibrato but not to the extent of Robin..Maurice could do a short high head voice and was a great bassist.
