    The singers are all brothers. The Gibbs, and they had really similar voices. The whole album was made as a soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, which set John Travolta's career up.

    4:00 Brad: Where on Earth do you
    find 3 dudes that can sing this high pitch? 🤣
    🌟Answer: Barry was 9 years old & his brothers, twins, Maurice & Robin were 6 when they began singing in unison. It wasn't until 1975 while recording “Nights on Broadway,” producer Arif Mardin asked that someone harmonize while screaming in the background. That was the first time Barry sang falsetto.
    “I was thinking, my god, where is this coming from? I can do this. My whole life I never knew I could do this,” Barry joked. 🤣
    BUT!! There is FOUR Gibb brothers that can sing like that. Little brother Andy (12 years younger than Barry) had a solo career & sang with the signature Gibb falsetto. Barry once said, "Maurice & Robin are twins but Andy is mine." 🌟Pleaae react to Andy Gibb "Shadow Dancing" & "I Just Wanna Be Your Everything". I can't wait til you see & hear him! ❤

    The three singers are all brothers. The were a music group formed in 1958, featuring brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later 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.

    The BEE GEES were the soundtrack of the 70's. They had a younger brother, ANDY GIBB who also had his share of hits. .Sadly, Andy died just days after his 30th birthday. Maurice and Robin Gibb have passed on, as well. Barry is the lone survivor of the Gibb brothers.

    In 1977 there was this movie starring a newcomer straight from sitcom tv actor John Travolta called Saturday Night Fever. The film broke box office records at the time and the soundtrack which featured several songs written and performed by The Bee Gees (Barry,Maurice and Robin Gibb is still one of the greatest ever. The group of brothers had been performing as children since the late 50’s They first came into prominence in 1960’s during the British Invasion led by the Beatles. Maurice and Robin and younger brother and solo artists Andy have long since passed. The Bee Gees career of singing and songwriting covers 5 decades.

    The genius of not only The Bee Gees, but also all of the executives who backed them, is: very few people would have had the vision to see that a female-sounding falsetto was going to work for guys trying to come off as cool in the 70's, an era of muscle cars and Dirty Harry. It was a courageous thing when you look at the music they were competing with.

But I do agree with your technical point, and with the a lot of the influences. But those were influences. That exact sound--including how the voices fit into the compositions--was very original. But I agree, if we're looking for examples of that sort of voice working for a male singer in popular music, then the black singers in blues and soul and gospel were where we would have been most likely to see some awesome examples of it.

    FYI, Bee Gees (B.G.s) stands for Brothers Gibb (Barry, Robin, & Maurice), which explains why they harmonized so well together. They were from Australia and they started performing 1958. They had a successful pop music career before they hit the disco scene in the US in a big way with the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever in 1977, of which this was a part. I spent a lot of time in the skating rink back in the late 70s through the 80s, and you couldn't spend a couple hours in there without hearing this song. Spend long enough and you'd surely hear it more than once. The high parts are most definitely falsetto. Barry might be the best at falsetto singing I've ever heard, along with the guy from Aha.
