All three brothers are shining brightly on this song. I cannot get enough of Maurice's funky bass.

[@tinalee468]

Broadway is the theater district of New York City where the lights stay on 24 hours.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Love their pre-disco stuff. This is their all-time best as far as I'm concerned.

[@nathanisaksson]

This is dipping into disco stuff, seems like me.

[@pamelabourgeois2628]

Your enthusiasm is absolutely contagious 🤣🤣🤣 You still have Tragedy, Night Fever, You Should Be Dancing, Inside and Out, Jive Talkin and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart and a lot of others to go. These are just some of my faves. I can't wait for you to hear Jive Talkin 😘🤣 Please do it next ❤

[@radiationsnowman]

i agree 100% Pamela!!!!

[@angelinasanchez5083]

Actually this was the song when Barry discovered he could sing in falsetto. This is funk and R&B, the direction Bee Gees wanted to take their music at this time. If you listen to Bee Gees music you’ll realize that they loved to experiment with different instruments and sounds. That was a great reaction. Please react to SUBWAY, a funky and R&B fantastic song.from their Children Of The World 1976 album. ❤❤❤

[@coolmomjj48]

I was just fixing to tell him this was the song where they discovered Barry could do his amazing falsetto. You beat me to it. Lol. Love them SO much!!

[@bryanCJC2105]

I remember learning that about Barry's falsetto from the HBO documentary. That is such a great documentary. I was surprised that Barry had no idea he could do it. I went into the bathroom to see if maybe I too didn't know that I could sing falsetto. One - two- three and "screeeeech"... nope, I can't do it.

[@angelinasanchez5083]

@@bryanCJC2105 that was a great documentary. I hope no one called 911 on you, Lol. 😂

[@bryanCJC2105]

@@angelinasanchez5083 I sounded like a cat being strangled. LOL When I watch that documentary, it makes me cry. Barry seems so alone. I can't imagine what that's like after the lives they've had.

[@PatrickEvans07]

Exactly, after this song their songs were filled with the falsetto. It was a producer who asked for Barry to scream to add intensity. He asked scream in tune? Yep that’s what I want.

[@jillsample1846]

No one is like the BeeGees. They can reinvent themselves day to day. Just amazing.

[@SuzyHomemaker]

That’s Maurice doing the high notes during the chorus. I’m glad he got his time to shine. All 3 of them can sing

[@sandradyer5956]

Robin was capable of growing a full lovely beard and mustache just like Mo and Barry. He did actually have them for awhile.

[@ajruther67]

Have you reacted to their younger brother Andy Gibb? He had his own hits as well, composed and produced by Barry Gibb who also sings back up. Andy is like a twin to Barry even though they are 12 years apart.

[@giovannib.9260]

Bee gees "allí this making LOVE"

[@juliegood7999]

The BeeGees are the soundtrack of my life

[@salty-tomato]

“I’m blaming it all on the nights of Broadway” Singing that sweet song to that crazy town”

[@garkmr6200]

I’m so grateful I was able to grow up listening to these guys in their prime. Music in the ‘70s and ‘80s was unrivaled.

[@user-Spicoli]

These guys wasn’t from this planet my friend. Pure Genius!!!

[@ramiromaia592]

This song is where Robin sings lead with Barry together and Maurice was backing vocal

[@NoCreamedCorn]

They wrote a song called Heartbreaker for Dionne Warwick that is 🔥 I think you’d love it.

[@gordonswaim951]

That's Maurice doing the background vocals...

[@cathyopthof8136]

This is truly one of my favorite songs! Love Barry singing in his chest voice! Love Maurices’s falsettos!! But Robin will always be my man! I love his voice more than anyone Evers!!!❤❤❤

[@aircap]

This was the first song where Barry used his super high falsetto voice. It became his style thereafter. You should check out their EARLY stuff from like 1967 some time, you will be surprised.

[@MM-rd4wm]

Robin was actually the hairiest! 😂

[@ceedeeare4real917]

You're now ready for LOVE SO RIGHT, MORE THAN A WOMAN, NIGHT FEVER & YOU SHOULD BE DANCING. Old Skool Bee Gees Fan :@)

[@TheBrownlj]

This song is where Barry first discovered his falsetto. After the song was recorded he was asked if he could scream in tune. His famous falsetto with all the ad libs and screaming was born.

[@krystalaura5634]

Beginning of the disco era. The best days of my life.

[@davidadams5280]

You should do to Love somebody. Live version 1967.

[@lydmarl.475]

The note he hits are the falsettos!! Talk about Falsettos, have you listen to “Fanny be tender with my love” you will go crazy??

The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_MiYaebNuKiKs Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXnCm2xmm6h8oZY, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJerhoZrgstjZrM. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4Wcp4V-iLyBmM0. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXKXdHykedOHoZo. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2eVeJ93etWZqLs.

[@cathyopthof8136]

Squeezing nuts...is Maurice!!❤❤❤

[@charlesstraight5499]

That guy doing that that high Echo singing in the background that's Maurice. Maurice like Barry has a real good high-pitched falsetto. What they're doing is Robin and barrier singing blaming it all on the nights on Broadway and Maurice is repeating that in a very high falsetto voice that sounds kind of like Echo it's almost like they're echoing the line but that's Maurice and I think that is one of my favorite parts of this whole song I just love that. Also in this song don't know if you realized it or not but Barry is singing in the mid to low register parts of the song.

[@rwilson7197]

Its sooo good. Every single song on the Main Course 1975 album is fire and this was my favorite song of all of them! In this song they are "singing them love songs" "to that crazy, crazy town" ( NYC & Broadway symbolizes the night life.) Blaming it on the nights on Broadway insinuates temptation!! And his girlfriend is not having it ( "Even if I have to wait a lifetime" for her, but he senses that she "never ever left my side".) Then came the Spirits Having Flown Album in 1979 and Too Much Heaven and Love You Inside Out ( funky) became my #1 and #2 favorite with Nights on Broadway tying for #2 favorite. I must admit though I have another dozen faves that tie for #2 position!🎉.❤❤❤😢

[@patriciachiecsek-kelsey-ok1ir]

This is a great song!!!

[@lt6134]

The brother without the beard is Robin Gibb. Although it was by choice. There are pictures of him with a full beard, but he usually shaved. Brother Barry was singing the falsetto.

[@johnnyV2194]

To Love Somebody. Great song from the 60s before we knew the Beegees.

[@bryansproles2879]

Bee Gees just had too many hits. Another massive hit you should check out is "Tragedy", as well as a non-disco hit "I Started a Joke". Love the reactions!!

[@nettiemac]

When Jimmy Fallon was on SNL, he did a skit called “Barry Gibb Talk Show” and this was used as the theme (with different lyrics). I can’t sing this song now without those lyrics. The last time they did the skit, Barry Gibb came onstage and sang it with them! (Added bonus: Justin Timberlake played “Robin”).

[@contacluj758]

The perfect song!

[@namwob77]

This was the song were Barry discovered his unusually high falsetto due to a producer asking him to produce a scream at the end of the song. Barry then became the frontman for the group and his great falsetto became legendary.

[@maryruggiero2884]

Shon, I just love you...I think you're great and you always do an outstanding job. Of all the people doing reaction vids, you are seriously the best. Your channel should grow like wildfire.

[@vandoraginther6421]

Just came across your channel listening to the awesome Bee Gees. Your excitement gets me going, I can see you are truly happy about finding these treasures, which is what they are. All these brothers can sing as a matter of fact they all do lead songs. They are writers doing all their songs which are in the thousands and they have written for many other well known artist. The oldest brother is Barry and the other two Robin (no beard) and Maurice (balding) are twins. They have been singing together since they were 9 for Barry and 6 for Robin and Mo. There is so much talent in this family in all they do. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life and always will. They sing songs that make you feel better or want to get up and dance. It is a blessing to see you and others actually get excited to hear their music. I enjoyed your reaction so very much. Looking forward to hearing more Bee Gees!!!

Broadway was this big place in New York City that did musicals and plays and I think they even once in awhile head some Opera Play Dear but a lot of actors and stuff plays and musicals on Broadway as well as normal acting from Hollywood California but New York was no more for Broadway's and less for movies but now they're kind of about equal except California doesn't have a Broadway. Y'all look up Broadway and check into it cuz I'm sure you find some musicals and stuff that you might like Broadway was a really good creative place to put out a lot of great musicals and plays. I don't know if you're familiar with a theater in the Bronx call the Apollo Broadway was in some respects similar to the Apollo but much much larger and they weren't like a concert hall type of thing they were true full-blown theater where you did plays and musicals.

[@lademoiselleketoret6958]

You are crazy with the beard break 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mickeyhank]

Yeah bro I agree --- killer tune here! Easily one of my favorites of theirs. Bro, seriously, check out their song "Love You Inside and Out" -- (unless you did already, I'm gonna check) I think it's my favorite of theirs, and that's not easy to reach. You asked about Broadway -- you got it -- it's the main theater district in NYC. A concentrated area. Expensive, big shows. I've been to 1 or 2, a long time ago. Not sure how many theaters it consists of but that's the main idea. There is also "Off-Broadway" and "Off-off Broadway" -- which basically means smaller theaters where they don't charge nearly as much, with lesser-known performers and writers.

[@jeffreyes6236]

I feel you bro! I'm 61 and my shit still don't grow together! So I decided to just go with the stache and goatee look!

[@pamelabourgeois2628]

[@dawndeleon3765]

It was originally called Lights on Broadway. They just wanted to do a song that sounded very "New York." Yes, Broadway is an area of New York where there are theatres all lined up. the best place in the country to see a play or musical. Very "New York." And p.s., Robin actually did have a very full beard for a little while. LOL He was actually pretty hairy. He COULD grow a beard, he just chose to stay clean shaven.

An amazing track, it has lost nothing of its magic after all those years. Barry recalled that the original tittle was 'All the lights on Broadway' . However their record company CEO said; "No, no, no - You have to spice things up a little". So it became Nights on Broadway.

[@roseyoung6585]

Actually all three of these "Blue eyed soul brothers" had beards in the past. The baby-faced one (ROBIN GIBB) looks better without the beard. If you wanna see him sporting his beard, check out their song BOOGIE CHILD. And if you wanna get yo groove on listen to "NIGHT FEVER"

But then the net. Of time there was two I called him many genres of music they was called electric pump and Electric Boogaloo and this would kind of fall more in the electric Funk genre or many genre as I mentioned. The Bee Gees they they could just cover such a wide variety of Music they were very much like the Beatles except in some ways better

[@Political.Commentary]

This cool brother digs this stuff like us whities did back then... LOVE!!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Broadway in this song is a reference to a place in NYC that used to be great, not the them lame theatre shows.....

[@jimb1283]

electric funk = disco

[@mamaflush9945]

Hey Shon, what you are describing is the "disco sound." Some of the biggest rock bands played in disco clubs in the 1970's & 80's. country, blues, and gospel was also going through a major transformation from their "traditional sound" rock had set everything on its ear. lol Rock had made its way into all of these other genres of music. But the disco sound had become firmly established by the late 70's and throughout the 80's with bands such as The Bee Gee's, The Average White Band, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Commodores, KC & The Sunshine Band. I could go-N-on 🤟 I think you would enjoy listening to "KC & The Sunshine Band - Keep It Coming Love (TopPop) (Remastered in HD)" I love disco, and blue-eye soul music; they had some of the best harmonies you'll ever hear...truly magical stuff, bro🎶 "ear candy"🍬 When you asked about Broadway...I guess the best way to describe the difference is that the music in Broadway shows are typically composed of songs that are sung by actors who are performing on stage. However the genres of music that are associated with Broadway span across multiple styles of music like jazz, blues, rock and pop. "Frank Sinatra ft. Ella Fitzgerald - The Lady Is A Tramp (Official Video)" Frank Sinatra started out as a singer/songwriter in his early career and became an actor after he achieved success. He would be a good example because he did perform on Broadway. he was legendary, bothas an actor and also singer/songwriter. He has a lot of great music to discover (Sorry so long, wasn't intending to write a book🤭)
