My childhood was f**ked up.. I'm an 8yr old child listening to The Bee Gees. Their music was my salvation. When Maurice and Robyn died, I literally felt like I lost family members! 💔💔
Wow. Goosebumps. They are legendary. For real. My all time favorite group of all time. They’re amazing!
They are the only group that has had a hit in every decade for 5 decades. That has tt easy how very good they are. I appreciate your reactions you are so honest. Thank you!!!!
There will never be another. I feel fortunate to have lived in a time to be blessed by the presence of the Bee Gees.
How cool that would have been. But I get to revisit with you all now. 🎵 Power of music 🎶
@@HAP3SPEAKZ I am so happy to see you, and lots of other younger people discovering and appreciating them.
I feel the exact same way
I feel the exact same way !!!Musical Geniuses
I have been watching young people's reactions to listening to the Bee Gees for the first time. I'm 62, it's touching :)
It's January 2, 2023. The BeeGees have proven to all their naysayers just how talented they are ,not only as a brother singing trio, but song writers as well. They deserve every award they have ever gotten and more . The only other brother trio that I know of is the Jonas Brothers and there is NO comparison. Even the Beatles didn't have the longevity that the Bee Gees have had . A lot of the younger generation only know them from Staying Alive etc. I only hope they go back to ground zero and see how the BeeGees evolved through the years. Even though the music 🎶🎶 industry wrote them off after the whole death of Disco thing came about the Bee Gees outsmarted them again and again.
Robins voice is unbelievable. 🔥🔥🔥
Massachusetts (67) was their first #1 song in the UK (it peaked at #11 on the US charts).
Just a simple song (lyrically) with a wonderful melody, signature harmonies, and Robin’s beautiful ethereal vibrato.
It just doesn’t get much better. ❤️
Yet another band who could perform live as good as in the studio.
Robin was said by peers (like Elton John and Brian May) and critics at the time to be "The best white soul voice of his generation". Most people equate the Bee Gees with disco (which they considered R&B) and the falsetto (which all three could do) but their earliest hits were often ballads and written or cowritten and sung by Robin (he cowrote most Bee Gees songs). He also played piano, organ and guitar but very seldom on stage, just to compose. His vibrato and range from low baritone to high tenor was amazing. He could also do country (Road to Alaska), pop (Juliet, Boys do fall in love), soul (Bodyguard, Oh Darling), rock (She keeps on coming) and even show tunes. He did an amazing version of "Somewhere" from West Side Story at only sixteen and his voice in that hit bass at times. He was pushed more to the background during the "disco" era which ironically, while making them tons of money, almost destroyed their career because they became so popular (5 songs in the top 10 and the top album at the same time) and there was a backlash. They couldn't get airplay in the US to save their lives although they had hits in Europe and Robin had solo hits abroad. As a result they took a break from their own stuff and wrote and produced for people like Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton (Islands in the Stream), Dion Warwick (Heartbreaker), Barbra Streisand (Guilty, Woman in love), Celine Dion (Immortality) and Diana Ross (Chain Reaction) producing some of the biggest albums those people had! As far as vocal ability, I would take Robin any day plus he was an eccentric personality and very intelligent oddball! Robin also had a biting wit at ease with one liners, was an historian, President of the British Heritage Society that designates historic sites, President of the songwriters organization where he fought for and won fair compensation for composers, worked for "Outreach" that gave at risk young people opportunities, spoke at the EU and to Parliament on behalf of veterans and refugees, lead the charge to have the Bomber Command Memorial (honoring the bomber crews of WW2) built in London (unveiled by the Queen a month after he died), wrote The Titanic Requiem (an orchestral piece commemorating the 100th anniversary of the disaster). He was listed for a knighthood but died before it was approved.
Can you tell I was a fan, LOL?
Maurice was also underappreciated as the peace keeper, by far the best musician, and a great singer who always found the perfect third harmony and was their band leader.
I know you do a lot of Queen who I also love but while Queen are expert musicians and showmen, The Bee Gees were THE harmonizers of the era and exemplary composers and arrangers. There is certainly room to love both.
PS - The back story is commenting on the 60's "hippy" era where everyone wanted to go to San Francisco, Haight Asbury, to get in on "the scene" but then missed home and wanted to go back. They had never been to Massachusetts when they wrote the song.
I'm here, Suzie Q, and loving everything you said about our precious guy! Couldn't have said it any better!
Thank you for sharing your insights. Life is buffet for me to enjoy more than one group or one type of music
I love what you said about our favorite singer ever too Susie Q. I can't get enough of listening to Robin.
Most of their earliest singles/hits were written by Barry…..with some written also with Robin &/or Maurice. Let’s please be honest…..most weren’t sung by Robin, but often by Barry or co-lead between the 2 of them.
Also, Robin was President of the U.K. based Heritage Foundation, which honours figures in British culture…..but don’t believe he was ever President of the British Heritage Society, designating historic sites.
The Everly Brothers are so good too with the harmonies! Very talented! But there is no one like the Bee Gees, never will be 🙂
Lilian, I am also An EVERLY BROTHERS fan. They too are extremely talented in their own class!!
LILIANA!
They're certainly a unique sound. You didn't wait for the 1 plus minutes standing ovation Robin got. Listening to them since I was about 15 and I'm 68 now. Robin has an awesome voice that wasn't totally appreciated in the early years because the teeny bopper girls were in love with Barry's looks. There's so much they left us after the death of the twins. They are beautiful.
Their disco songs were good but their old school love songs and ballads are the best💕☮️💜
HAP3SPEAKZ, you're going to give this 67-year-old lady a heart attack! Two wonderful reactions in one day to two amazing Robin leads! Be still my heart! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
Laurie I so know the feeling. I'm nearly the same age And I have loved Robin from the first time I heard him sing this. He is the reason I became Bee Gees fan. Still missing him every day.
Me, too, Roberta, me, too!
@@lauriebarnes2999 it's hard missing Robin so much. I'll do fine for awhile and then I will be listening to one of Robins songs and can't hold the tears back.
Histrorical is right. There has never been...and never WILL be...another group like them. They were magic.
The Fabulous Bee Gees Amazing singers Songwriters ♥️
Once in a life time - band of brothers !! Their harmonies are just astonishing 🎵💜
Indeed so 👍🏽
That sure was the time to be alive. To witness these band of brothers in real time.
You hit the nail straight on its head - these three Musical Geniuses were a once in a lifetime occurrence - and I feel fortunate to have experienced them in real time...💖💖💖
Their harmonies so incredibly tight, being born and raised by parents who were both musically talented - Dad a drummer, with his own big band orchestra, and Mom a vocalist in another band.
Their older sister, Ms Lesley Evans (who lives with her family in Australia, and is two years older than Sir Barry Gibb...) is just as musically talented - she actually performed with her brothers on several occasions, back in the day.
Youre so right. Once in a lifetime. They wrote the soundtrack to many lives over 50 years worth.
One of my favs. Thanks friend.
"That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends" 👑
Yes, just to think - Four brothers, very similar but also different four men, four personalities - so equally musically talented with specific, heavenly voices..How is that possible? There must have been involved a touch of God's hand..Once in a lifetime, as you said, definitely!
Really enjoying your reactions from Bee Gee music. They are British being born on the Isle of Man and moving to Manchester before moving to Australia. Came across an interesting interview while they appeared on the Donahue Show in 1981. They could be comedians if they didn't sing.
One of my favorite versions of Massachusetts is from The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson from the 1970's. Live, impromptu, and Maurice is super funny during it!
One of my favorites ❤️
Hello and thank for this reaction
"Massachusetts" was their first #1 in UK Official Charts 1967
(the year of Sgt Pepper by BEATLES)
This is the earliest Bee Gees, with beautiful ballad pop like this
"Massachusetts" is so simply but so beautiful too, and Robin shine with his voice and sensitive feeling
in my Top 5 of all BEE GEES songs:
Massachusetts (1967)
Lamplight (1969)
My world (1972)
Mr Natural (1974)
Nights on Broadway (1975)
In your other video I request one of the most underrated Bee Gees songs
and in this I request to the other most underrated song:
"Mr Natural"
if you like "Fanny (be tender with my love)", I hope that enjoy with this song just a year before, the song (and album) in wich Bee Gees change your music style
GOD bless you
Best regards from Argentina
They stayed popular because they kept adapting and reinventing themselves. Not many bands have managed to do that.
Absolutely once in a lifetime!
Robin and also Barry did so many good lead-vocals! And always the chorusses with their brilliant three-part-harmony, gets me excited. Unbeatable perfection! And if you listen well, you can hear Barry singing first voice and lil dominatin' the chorusses with his powerful voice, Robin doin' the second voice, not an easy thing, so he's done first voice in the verses. And then Maurice, excellent third voice, always having the absolute musically hearing. Doesn't get better. Not brothers, but maybe equal are Crosby, Stills and Nash on songs like 'Helplessly Hoping' or 'Marrakesh Express'. Thinkya should check them out, too. Think a must forya to check out would be a song called 'Blue Island', out of Bee Gees-album Size Isn't Everything'. On YT to find is a liveversion on MTV-Most Wanted. That's thrilling and just like outa this world.
My favorite of all time,so glad the younger generation,sees how incredible the Brother Gibbs are.Musical Geniuses!!!!
👍🌷💙🌷👍 My music from my young days. 🙂 💚
thanks, Hap - I always loved Robin best... to me, he had the most unique voice -- I think that Barry was very strong, and Maurice could sing anything - high or low -- but Robin that that "quiver" that wa amazing -- I really appreciate this -- I'm sure you've seen "I started a joke" right? (also, if you see the very early version it does have a quite hilarious video -
Their voices was so good at this time ❤️ love them❤️
I started my family when The Bee Gees started having hits.🤘🏼
Nothing like the Bee Gees, musical geniuses. God created heaven on Earth, when he created those four brothers. I feel so fortunate to be alive, to be able to appreciate, incredible musicians you will never see again. Let's keep their 🎶🎶 music alive for future generations. I'm so glad you went down this road.
Their Mom was also a band vocalist and that is how she met their Dad. She played a big part in their days too, making the waist coats their, washing by hand their clothes and ironing them before shows. Amazing family. Now the Bee Gees kids sing under the name Gibb Collective. Talent runs deep. They honor they dad’s singing their songs. ❤❤❤
Beautiful Beautiful this is my favourite BeeGees song ever it takes me back to my youth in the 60s I just love this song and I always thought Robin had the best voice by far. This was long before they started with there high pitched voices in the 70s Please react to Don’t forget to remember me this is a beautiful BeeGees song and some how it always gets forgotten and it’s simply beautiful I loved there songs more in the good old 60s and yes Hap don’t forget the Osmond’s Donny was singing before he was 5 and there dad was there manger but they were chetered out of millions and some of the brothers and nephews still tour Thanks Hap Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴❤️👏👏👏👏👍👌👋
One of my favourites ❤
Absolutely loved and still do ,love these brothers!
The BeeGees first HIT! What an ENDING!!
Loved ur reaction! Love the Bee Gees 🌹❤️ Thanks Hap
There will never be another Bee Gees They are in a league of their own Love them so much ❤❤❤ Love Robin ❤️🤩🥰😘 Rip Robin Mo and Andy Thinking of you Barry stay well ❤️🩹💖
I mean, not much more to say that hasn't been said already......Their songs and performances were just the best of the best on so many levels!!!....Glad to have been part of this era of genius music and musicians....
Great reaction! Agree totally!
Thank you!!! 💕
BTW in 2021, Google says it’s 45 hours drive from Boston, Massachusetts to San Francisco, CA. It would have been longer in 1968, I’m assuming, depending on when I-80 was finished. Hitchhiking longer.
This particular song was associated at the time with the Hippie movement, the Flower Power banner, and it was also associated with Scott McKenzie's song "San Francisco". One thing I will add: "Massachusetts" was more popular in non-native english countries than it was in the UK, US or even Australia. The ending of the song was changed in this concert.
Although the Bee Gees themselves viewed it as something of a contrast to the Summer of Love goi g on in San Francisco ( hence the reference) in that it was about heading away from that scene back to home. Massachusetts was the locale for no other reason than they liked the way Robin sounded saying "Massachusetts".
Great harmonies and a great song. I got to visit the rather unique walkway honoring the pop group, it has statues, photos & a musical light show and is located in Redcliffe Queensland where the boys moved to when they migrated to Australia. Thanks Hap from young Daneliya and then we get this classic band.
Great hippie era song. I love your playlist.
Yes, once in a lifetime! That wrote songs for other artist as well, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and so on!!!!!
Awesome bee gees song!! I love songs with the theme of going home in them. They're irreplaceable. No group could never come close to the talent these brothers possessed
Together! FANTASTIC REACTION HAP! Thank you! 🥰 🎶🙏
I know this song from the 60s when I was a little child and I still love this song and still love the BEE GEES and all their great songs they wrote for so many many years afterwards - musically they are in a way my lifelong companions and this is such a great feeling - wow !!
Its a beautiful song 🎶💜🎶 The reaction was amazing 👌👏 Thank you very much 🍀☘🌿
Hi, I love you channel. Just a note on the Beegees, as you know they wrote all their songs and music but did you know that none of them could read or write music. They did it all by ear. I just watched their This Is Your Life video where it says that. Keep on with the Beegees, I don't have a favourite, I love them all. God bless you and stay safe.
Watch Fanny be tender with my love!! An oldie but a great song!!!
I agree with you, HAP3
I remember when this came out. It was a gem then and still is! Thanks HAP!! Lots of songs to discover by them still to come. Stellar Reaction! ❤️🔥♥️
This was their anti flower power song. Saying that won’t last forever and you need to go home. Flower power movement was big in San Francisco, they had never been to Massachusetts but liked how it sounded. ❤ just talented writers, producers and singers
I remember going to my aunt's house for vacations in Lawrence, Massachusetts when this was on the radio back then.
Checked out their three song medley from the same concert. It is pretty amazing!
Hi I’m glad your reaction is as amazing & your appreciation really love it every time
❤️❤️
Thanks again!
Love love love the Bee Gees. ❤️❤️❤️
Muy buena reacción 👍👏👏🎼🎶❤
A feeling in harmony that touches everyone, thanks HAP
The Beach boys had 3 brothers, a cousin and Al Jardine. They were a great band too. 100 million records sold. Bee Gees 120m records sold. I love them both.
Amo a los Bee Gees. Saludos desde Argentina 😚
words by BeeGee
Band of brothers?
No one is quite like the BeeGees.
Wilson-Phillips are probably the closet with 2 daughters of Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, and the daughter of Mamas and Papas’ John and Michelle Phillips. They are known for their harmonies. As were the three brothers in The Beach Boys.
New bands of siblings that come to mind are
Greta Van Fleet (3 brothers + 1)
The Warning (3 sisters)
Larkin Poe (2 sisters)
Halestorm includes a brother and sister.
Haim is 3 sisters.
Kings of Leon is 3 brothers and a cousin.
The Chicks are 2 sisters plus Natalie.
From classic rock, Heart with Ann & Nancy Wilson are the first sisters that come to mind. Then the Pointer Sisters. Further back, the Andrews Sisters.
On the brother side, it’s seems it’s often two brothers that start a band.
Van Halen, Nickelback, Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC, Pantera, Radiohead, Allman Brothers, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and even Styx.
And then there are the family groups, The Jackson 5 and The Osmonds.
Too many.
But Beach Boys are probably the closest.
Ok thanks. Wow, you got the musical encyclopedia there? 😅🙂
@@HAP3SPEAKZ only about artists I listen to. 😌
What a great reaction love seeing this appreciation!
👏👏👌
Please react to THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN by the BEEGEES thanks
There Mum Barbara, was a Big Bang singer as well.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Only complaint I have about this song is; it's too short. It ends too quickly. Other than that it's perfection! Good reaction and comments
Been recording since 1958 through the 2000’s. They are legions. This was their take on the end of the hippy movement where everyone was heading to San Francisco….was telling them they should be going home.
Another group that were brothers (and a cousin and a couple of others) were the Beach Boys. Tremendous songs and harmonies. But yes Bee Gees were one of a kind.
They liked the word Massachussetts - they said so in an interview.
To be fair there has been groups of brothers out there. The Mills Brothers, The Everly Brothers, Beach Boys with the Wilsons, The Jonas Brother, The Bellamy Brothers, The Osmonds, The Jackson 5 and possibly many more. But The Bee Gees survived the test of time and was active for nearly 50 years (1958 to 2001)
This song was originally written for The Seekers I believe
barry gibb experience
Very good!!REACT SONG ONE vídeo oficial...
You can’t compare The Bee Gees to anyone, but if you don’t know the Everly Brothers from the 60’s, check them out. They inspired many bands of the 60’s & 70’s with their acoustic guitars & harmonies. Give a listen to “All I Have To Do is Dream”. Check them out & then get back to The Bee Gees! You have SO many more to go.
Maurice sang a lovely song called Close To You, I'd love it if you reacted to that one :)
Check out REO Brothers - they are blood brothers.
Absolutely my favorite song of theirs. Plus Robin has always had a better voice than Barry for me. No need to call me out anyone........I’ve always felt he was a better vocalist than Barry!!
