    People recognize Robin and Barry's voices, but Maurice wrote and composed the instruments to support them. As well as lend backup vocals. Goddamn, they were all incredible.

      The story Barry tells is that this was written when they were teenagers in Australia, playing some of the less attractive clubs, and sharing spaces with strippers. I expect they actually did "see somebody!"

    I have heard many performances of this wonderful song, but I think Robin's lead here rises over the top to the best I've ever heard from him. His intensity is outstanding. The brothers are magic. To think, they were just teenagers when they wrote this piece. Thank You to the Midnight Special guys. This was an unexpected pleasure tonight.

      @@Zlata1313 J1, have you been following what's been going on SalvoG's channel (his "You Win Again" reaction)? This Australian "child" got angry with me just because we dared to agree with the person who originally wrote the comment about Robin's "Oh, babe" causing us to melt. She called me an immature 12 year old because two words out of Robin's mouth could make me melt. I informed her that I was 70 and if anyone was being immature it was her, not me, and that she should just move on if she didn't like our comments. Her profile says she lives in Australia and likes the Bee Gees but apparently not Robin so much. 😊

Diane kinda put my mind at ease a little bit when she said this round of storms in Houston wasn't nearly as bad as what she had to deal with the day before. Thank God she's okay and you and Mom are okay, too. Now that I'm here I'm going to listen to my sweet angel's best version ever of "I Can't See Nobody" and then try to go back to sleep. Hopefully you're getting a little more rest now, too. Love ya! LJ.

    This is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs! As much as I love the recorded version of it, I love their live performances of the whole song even more! It always sounds like Robin put way more emotion into his performances of it in their pre disco days than when he recorded it. Plus, watching him perform it, we get to see him as he's singing the song. And, he looked to be very into the song and carrying so much emotion with it. While this is an amazing performance of this song, my absolute favorite is the one at the Bee Gees' Melbourne, Australia concert in 1974.

    By the way, I’ve gotten into a number online discussions (arguments?) about the Gibbs being Australian. Behold the Union Jack people! They always considered themselves Brits. They only spent a handful of years in Australia and weren’t born there. They also had an entire career of hits starting in the 60s before they became the kings of disco, placing them as part of the late “British Invasion” scene (as called in the US).

    I’ll admit, the first time I saw Robin sing I laughed even though I thought he had a killer falsetto and vibrato. But I laughed because he put his hand over his ear. I’m no singer, believe you me. I’m the type who sounds bad even in the shower. But I tried the whole hand-over-the-ear thing and actually realized I could better hear my own voice. Not that I wanted to after hearing it. Hey, I do have “mad skills” though. I’m terrific at doing the dishes. I also know how to setup and maintain computers pretty well, what with image backup discs when my PC gets corrupted which is bound to happen. But I’m no singer. Unlike Robin. RIP.
