The Bee Gees - I've Gotta Get A Message To You (1968)

- The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958. Their lineup consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967, when producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997; the presenter of the award to "Britain's first family of harmony" was Brian Wilson, historical leader of The Beach Boys, another "family act" featuring three harmonising brothers. The Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says, "Only Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees."
Following Maurice's death in January 2003, at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group's name after 45 years of activity. In 2009, Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. Robin died in May 2012, aged 62, after a prolonged struggle with cancer and other health problems, leaving Barry as the only surviving member of the group's final line-up. - Hudba
Robin Gibb...quite possibly the greatest male vocalist ever.
My favorite Bee Gee. He's also funny as hell! May he rest in peace.
Love Robin forever ♥️
I think you are right on that! Haven't heard anyone come even close to Robin's voice.
Amen to that Levin 👍
As demonstrated in LAMPLIGHT and
I STARTED A JOKE
Robins voice is haunting in this song. The Bee Gee's fully understood rock vocal harmonies like The Beatles and Beach Boys.
They maintained their voices through the ages! Best group of our time!❤
I know their disco age was popular but their 60s years had way more culture to them. I love their 60s songs.
Everything they did was fire. I was born in 1957 and followed them from the time I was a gradeschooler. Never disappointed.
Same as true with me...
Absolutley.. The 60s rocked.. ❤️
SAME..👍
Sadly, some people still don't know they were great long before disco days.
One thing for sure we won't ever see the likes of the Bee Gee's ever again ... thanks for all the truly great songs over all those years.
Actually we won't see the likes of any of the bands of the 60's, 70's or 80's because music has changed so much. Pop music today is nothing but shit. Thank god for CZcams.
You are right
So true!
They harmonized so we'll. Memorable songs to cherish throughout the years! Phenomenally talented musical family. Their young brother Andy as well.
Absolutely. Listening lockdown December on Robin and Maurice's heavenly birthday
Pre-disco BeeGees were incredible. They were still great in the disco era, but people forget how great they were before that.
how can they "forget" what they never heard dickhead? There was no MTV or CZcams in the 70's
I only discovered the Bee Gees at abut 10 years old, in 1975 with "Nights On Broadway", and I loved it. ( Not just because it's a great song, but I look forward to the Robin solo...such a unique voice.) Then, like you said, disco hit, and I still loved them, but thanks to CZcams, I have discovered their older stuff, and they're my favorite Bee Gee's songs. (Along with "Alone", which is one of my favorites. Much like Nights On Broadway, there is the Robin solo that I look forward to.)
I will say before and after...saludos
I prefer them over the Disco Bee Gees.
I was 16 when this came out. Never in a million years would I have thought that this would have still been one of the best songs in 2021 that I would keep playing. Thank you You Tube. You just can't beat the 60s and definately Robin Gibb.
I think it's fair to say it's a classic and 50 years from now, it will still be played.
Chris so was I,and I am still listening to it god bless

I think this was the very last song Robin ever sang live?🤔 He sang it with the soldiers in the British military. I think it's called Robin Gibb Singing With The Soldiers. Robin was so tiny and frail at that point. He passed away soon afterwards.
Total love and respect for Mr. Robin Hugh Gibb.💜💜💜
👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How can one not love Robin's voice. Wow!
Totally unique
See, I always thought I was unique in loving Robin's voice. I felt that Barry was more their "lead" singer, and that's who most people probably preferred. I love Barry's voice, regular, or falsetto. (Preferably regular). Anyways, I've always felt that Robin's voice, even though always on pitch, had an odd sound, almost like he was singing into a can. That may sound negative, but it's not. It's what made it so compelling, and so unique. I've always loved it. I just didn't realize that I wasn't the only one.
Can't get enough of Robin's voice
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
He was from another world.....I'd add my own personal thoughts about his background,. But I won't ......I wonder if he finally realized how PHENOMENAL he actually was.....he seemed to discredit himself alot
Low self esteem. Probably
Etherial, like Roy Orbison's.
same here the true class of the band
Robin's voice is unmistakable and perfection.
Robin said a interview that he didn't sing with his voice. " I sing with my heart"
@@mona-gailbest6644 Robin definitely sang with his heart.
What is it about Robin fans that so often they want to single him out separate and apart from the group as a whole. You don't see Barry or Maurice fans going to those lengths like that which is especially odd given that Barry typically sang lead and his falsetto is what led to the bands hallmark sound.
@@SnowsStorm1I guess Robin’s voice was just that good.
@@mybabba or to be fair maybe we just understood that Barry deservedly received so much more of the recognition from the industry.
People, this is 1968 and they are so young and yet they are off the charts brilliant!
I was 4
Where is Maurice?
@@stevenbermingham9783 0:33
They were younger than the Beatles, yet they were writing and singing more mature and profound songs with superior vocals, too.
Maurice is on the piano/keyboard
Robin Gibb was too beautiful for this world. He looked and could sing like an angel.
Robin, my favorite. Handsome. Angel voice. 💖
Agree. But Robin Gibb was just what the world needed.
What planet are you guys from if you think this guy is handsome?
@@googleuser6357 Robin has something special. The appeal of intelligence. Fantastic Robin. 💖
@@googleuser6357 Planet earth.
Robin had a beautiful voice....
He was the best
Chulada de voz!!!!
Love Robins unique voice♥️♥️♥️😘🎼👋🎶🎵
Die beste Musik haben die Brüder Gibb gemacht, gesungen,produziert. FANTASTISCH👍🎵❤🍀
I so, so much agree with you Rose, Robin's voice has given me (and continues to give me) goosebumps for 50+ years. an extraordinary voice without peer!!!
Robin has just a beautiful voice ! Magical voice ! So angelic ! What can I say ! What a wonderful voice !
This is a masterpiece. Absolutely perfect. Vocals, story, arrangement, etc.... I was born 6 years after this came out.....and I've been singing this my whole life. Even as a small child I knew this was special. God Bless the Souls of all the Bee Gees.
nice words and strongly agree
Oh i miss Robin's voice he was so special
Robin voice is so sweet. These brothers have crazy harmony, no wonder they were so great as a group. Love the Bee Gees. Hats of man!!!!
Absolutely another classic from one of the greatest bands of all time......
I can't stop listening to them I'm I'm love with Robin he's still amazing
Robin had the voice of the angels. I miss him so much.
Amazing ! Those are the BGs I love. Their songs are beautiful, as are their harmonies and Robin's voice is without equal .
No other British band could hold a candle to the bee gees
oh there is a few actually
are you joking?
@@64fairlane305 😁😁😁
Well…
Robin' s voice is the best. Love it
I love Robin's voice, but I've always loved Barry's voice even more :). In any case, what a timelessly wonderful song this is!
У мориса голос не хуже,даже лучше!
jackass
This is a fabulous song from the fabulous Bee Gees. Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤️❤️Robin.... The voice..
I'm glad to have lived through all of the Bee Gees years . So many memories with every song .
Who is hear today May 2021 to hear Unmistakable Robin Gibb ❤️
February 2022 ,still here listening to ROBIN GIBB,S .PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. 🙏 😎😎✌✌🏴🏴
October 2022 and still here listening to Robin ❤
Do youj mean "here today?".
Loved them all but be still my heart for Robin. He sings “walk’ with a British accent. We were so lucky to grow up listening to this music.
Loobyloo - A "British accent"! There's a shock, LOL. :)
A Robin fan here too ever since I heard their first song in 1967 when I was a teen, the same age as Robin and Mo. It was Rob's voice that made me a fan.
@@susieq9801 Hi Susie, I am a born and bred Londoner ha ha. So funny growing up in England I loved American accents. Now I have lived in America for many years, I find the British accent so cute. I just love Robin. I listen to his songs or Bee Gees songs every day. Be still my heart, Robin. Just too adorable.
@@loobyloo1955 - Canadian here but spent a lot of time in the UK, mostly Warwick, Coventry and Liverpool. I share the twins birthday in 1949.
Robin had such character. He wasn't a heartthrob when he was young (more of a cute puppy dog) but I think he was HOT when he hit his mid 20's and onward. You never knew which Robin would show up, hair colour or mood, LOL. His intelligence, eccentricity and wit were SO attractive. A mysterious and complicated guy and who doesn't like mystery? Add to that the voice of an angel, the lips, the eyes, etc., etc., etc.!
What part of London? I stayed with relatives in Hampstead Heath way back in the late 60's. As Samuel Pepys said, "When you tire of London you tire of life".
PS, you know Canada is also part of the "Americas". :)
@@susieq9801 I grew up primarily in North London Haringey, Crouch End area and ended up in the East End.Love London and travelled there frequently until both my parents passed. Still have family there, but not quite the same. I feel the same way about Robin. He was so hot all through his life. Those beautiful brown eyes, his voice, everything. My husband laughs that I still have a crush on him.
@@loobyloo1955 -
Maybe hubby is just jealous, LOL.
Robin's was the voice that could move me to tears. Even his mom said his was the voice that gave her chills and Barry said it was "killer". Maybe I need new glasses but I thought he was sexy as hell. Barry struck me as more of a lounge singer. True his voice was better for "pop" and Rob's for ballads but he was sure sexy singing "Bodyguard". Hope no Barry fans read this and attack. Just personal preference. All were fantastic but I have the same persistent crush.
This will be a You Tube day. A blizzard outside right now to add to Covid. :(
Have you ever heard this?

Robin found a backing track in their producer's office in Australia and decided to try out his new "big boy" voice doing a karaoke to it. He just turned SIXTEEN!!!
Unbelievable. Hate to say it but Barry could never do this song like that.
I can’t believe this song was out in 1967 I was twenty two , then ,and I still love it at seventy five .
I was in 7th grade in 1967. Ohhh man..
ME TOO.
It's because you are both stone cold righteous. This song made such a huge impression on me, which was hard because I had just bought Sgt. Pepper lol
Bill I was 18 getting ready to get drafted.
@@paulyakaitis3352 hi Paul I’m from England , I was wondering which country you’re from to be getting drafted we lived our young lives at a great age for music all the best Bill
I am blown away by this track. We used to sing it together with my late wife. Then, life was good too good to last.We wont experience such rich,soul soothing music.
Seit 1969 bin ich ein BEE GEES Fan. Aber Robin gehörte schon immer mein HERZ. ich höre die BEE GEES täglich. Robin war ein wunderbarer Mensch. Er fehlt mir sehr. R I P ROBIN . I love YOU vor ever. 🤣❣🙆♂️
Sometimes I really wish that time travel was possible. I would go to the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's just to be part of the Bee Gees sensation at the height of their career. 😡
Robin is the best ❣️
Agree. He had that special quality to his extraordinary voice. Barry was very good and Maurice did backing vocals more often. But Robin was the best, undoubtedly.
Robin Gibb had such an extraordinary voice and such a powerful presence.
9 short years later they would record songs for a movie soundtrack that would change the music industry and their lives forever.
Was thinking the same thing as i watched the video!
@@jmdpo17
Though ot was my youth (* in the summer of '63), I hated that music and wished this crap had never existed. While my friends went over and over again watching these films, I listened to the old Bee Gess records with the songs like this one here. I always thought I could not believe it was the same band.
Heard Barry say in interviews that the Saturday Night Fever songs were written well before.. they used them for the movie! Look it up
Love Robin voice so moving and beautiful, full of love and passion. R. I. P beautiful soul xxx
♥
@@ZARA2255 hi Zara enjoy the sunshine and have a lovely day
Robin the sheer class of the band
Depending on what's considered as "class".😶
These brothers are a gift from God, angels are crying their voices are so beautiful.
Their singingwith the angels now may God bless their hearts we will never hear the likes of their voices again miss you all
Maurice ❤ Robin ❤ RIP
Miss the twins!!!
Pretty, wonderful brother's Gibb. Nothing will ever match them.
Angels belong to the spirit realm! Robin sang as an imperfect human albeit beautifully, a vocal gift from our creator!!
One of the greatest songs ever in my opinion.
Robin är så söt och charmig. Han sjunger som en ängel. ❤
Felt mellow this evening and the older 60s Bee Gees songs came to my mind!!!! I love them now more than when I was a kid in the 60s!!
They gave such stong feelings.
I had a chance to see the Bee Gees three times in concert back in the seventies and I loved the guys from the very first time I heard them. MY all time favorite was Robin and to his end and still today I loved watching and listening to him. The guys made it really big so unfortunately I never got to see them on stage again but to this day I still watch EVERYTHING I can about them and watch them over and over. I'd love to be able to meet Barry after all these years. He was the first to be born and the last to still be carrying on for them.
God Bless the 4 Bee Gee Boys/Men they were
THE BEST
So lucky of you to have seen them 3 times. I would have loved to be able to see them even once!
I feel the exact same way as you do. Never have seen them in person. But I listen to their music every single day. I also wish I could go to Barry's home and meet with him and talk to him for hours.
Robin is so gorgeous!! Love him, miss him!
Yeah, I always thought he was cute.
I loved the Bee Gees music but I feel a sadness at the passing of the twins. It brings a lump to my throat
I love his voice Robin Gibb.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was bought up on their music and I still love them to this day
Your a legend Barry Gibb❤😅
Poetry in motion - sheer perfection.
The 20th century will become eternal as the musical century! The most beautiful songs were composed in this century, especially in its second half. They are harmonious compositions, with a lot of musicality, poetry, romanticism and a lot, a lot of talent! I feel honored to have been born and lived in this time full of such brilliant artists!
Good to see Robin highlighted for a change. They were great but Robin had that special ability that few posses .
I love Maurice's intensity in this video
Same, you can see it on his face. Love it
Yes! I thought the same thing! Maurice was really into it!
The keyboards sound is very particular in this song. Maurice Gibb....
Yes Maurice is so underrated. His high notes are top !
Mo's so handsome in this video....
God When Robin Sings this I fall in Love !
Oh Robin, when I hear your voice, soooo great, loved this man
What a voice! The BG was a gift to our world….
I was a young boy growing up listening to the Bee Gees,Beatles,Rolling Stones,B.J.Thomas,,The Guess Who,great memories.👍💫⚡⛈🌟
Probably the best version of this song, Robin stood out - a true man's voice and look. No trace of feminine mixture, though some male singers have. I am not sexual prejudiced, but I really like a true man's voice.
I was instantly a fan, and still am at 72 years of age.
Mein Gott was für große Könner🎡wunderschön🥀 die Konzerte ich hatte eine so schöne Jugend mit den BEEGEES💝🎻🥁🔥DANKE😘💕
I too remember how stunning we all thought this was when it first came out, and time hasn’t aged it one bit.
Love Robin voice but show love for Maurice voice too.
Mo was a fantastic harmonist bassist et al...
Maurice had a beautiful voice Robin amazing Barry brilliant . Together harmonies are amazing love listening
The 60s & 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. God....take me back to the 60s and 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
This song was from 1967.
His voice is like an angel and so clear, great
i REALLY LOVE THIS SONG AND THE BEE GEES. THEY GREAT.
They were great way before Saturday night fever . Love the unique wonderful voices
Barry Gibb is the only one of the Bee Gees who is still alive. I saw online last year that he does not want to ever tour again.
Melhor banda de todos os tempos, suas músicas parecem ser escritas hoje. Parabéns Barry e vida longa a você que era o centro e o equilíbrio do grupo, Maurice o músico completo e para aqueles que acham que ele era só inst5rumentistas, saibam a vós dele era linda, e , enfim Robin completava tudo com sua voz diferenciada. Igual a eles jamais teremos outros...
人類最高のグループ‼️もう決してこんな素晴らしいグループは後にも先にも出てこない‼️ありがとう‼️ビージーズ‼️
Truth!
Don't forget all three composed their songs and the songs they wrote for others. All three amazing artists who together created an amazing phenomenon.
Jesus, the harmonies. They were bloody good.
they were siblings including twins, the natural odds were incredible
Robin is so beautiful
the voice ❤️❤️❤️
I was 12 years old...
I’m crying...
I was 5,WOW☺️
I'm going to say it again I love this song your enriched when you let this song in,thank you bee geez.also 1976 I was 9 my first disco one of my music memories thank you.
Lord I love Maurice Gibb!! They don't ever seem to show him enough!
How time flies but this song is timeless.
Robin was the secret weapon of the Gibb brothers
Unbelievably Great!
What can u say about these 3 guys except talented and simply the best band of all time. You have to put them right up there with ELO and Jeff Lynne. All these guys were hands down the best ever and will always be remembered for their outstanding music!
I dig the early bee gees. No disco. But there's only one king. Elvis
You must be young....B. G.'s all time incredible band/perfformists/writers/ musical artists, ever, Absolutely!.. just makes me cringe a lot with the examples with which they compare them.Ya by passed a whole lot of dazzling talent. Oh, you kids... !!!

@@terrygarcia897 BeeGees were pop. Elvis was rock and roll. Two different genres. Elvis was the King. BeeGees were on a whole different level. Two totally different sounds. Love them both.
Robin Gibb had the most haunting voice...it stirs my soul every time i hear it.......RIP
WOW! Every song these men wrote and sang was the best! And for 50 years, the next one was always better!
When i was young i always cried when i heard this song i dont know why..
Love the Beegees especially gorgeous Robin 💋💋💋
I'm confused. Isn't Robin the skinny one with the bulging eyes and crooked teeth and the weird hair? Surely I'm confused..
what a beautiful voice
The perfect bass line.
Long live to Bee Gees Songs.
Thanks from 🇧🇷
Yep, it's similar to Paul Mac, but Mo had a great style and wrote beautiful bass parts. Mo could and would play whatever instrument you handed him and was an outstanding harmonist.
Cold chills, vocial ability, add with the add song itself, is chilling , but beautiful.
One of my all time favorites
Mine too.
Love you Robin 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
RIP Robin, Maurice, and Andy

Powerful story
This song was recorded the year after my birth, but I love it as if it were from my formative years. The harmonies and the chemistry of these brothers Gibb are tremendously artful.
One of the all time great groups. Also they wrote lots of hits for other artists as well.🇬🇧👍
Gênios humildes e afinados, o Robin tinha uma voz de arrepiar.Descansem boys, Robin e Maurice lindos

... my youth time...
I will never forget...
