Back in the day when real song writing happened.
Maurice was the high note man before the Barry developed his falsetto in mid 70's
What I’ve always appreciated about them was their ability to stretch their creativity. From their writing to their incredible vocal skills. Each brother had such individual strengths and together they were unmatched.
Has anyone noticed that the Bee Gees dont eat the mic while they are singing? It's because their voices are such power houses that they dont need to put the mic right up to their lips. GREAT SINGERS AND AMAZING VOICES!!
All three could do the falsetto 🎶 all three were amazing on their own 🎶 and together they were extraordinary 🎶 aged 20 and 17 love the bee gees ❤️
There will never be a brother trio as good as the Bee Gees. I'm 67 and it's fun to look back at the different clothing styles, and see how good looking Barry was as a 20 something year old man!!!!
*********IF THERE IS MUSIC IN HEAVEN, IT WILL SOUND LIKE THE BEE GEE'S*********Maurice for me, has always been a very special talent ❤️❤️ ❤️
I'm counting on heaven having this music.
Amen🙋🏽♀️
My favourite Bee gee Maurice 💙, and just gorgeous
Robin and Maurice were 17 years old then and Barry was 20 AMAZING. Can't you hear Maurice high voice GREAT!
I get happy and can't stop smiling when I hear the Bee Gees.
To think that a 20 & 17 year old came up with an evergreen song like "To Love Somebody" is truly remarkable. There are probably hundreds of covers from a wide range of artists. The live versions are even better - the ending on the 1989 version is like butter.
Maurice is the most talented multi task role.
The issue is that people want to put them in a box and define the role and capability of each brother, the problem with that is all three have so many more dimensions to them that just blows any conception of that box away, they all could sing extremely well with a wide range of pitches, they are all proficient with one or more instruments, and all three very capable song writers, if someone was to take in all their work and understand all that each put into the group you would likely conclude there is no best, they all three are basically equally excellent and valuable to what we know as the Bee Gees, their independent work, and the work they contributed to other singers. Clearly they reached legendary status that is still not recognized in full even at this time, likely it will be long after all their deaths that their full appreciation will come.
I agree with what you said. They all could pretty much do it all, all seemed adaptable and they all worked very hard to perform their best. I think they all probably had preferred roles/strengths and must have respected each other’s roles to a large extent for them to be able to function as well and as long as they did.
I’m not speculating on who (Robin or Maurice) is singing which part because I don’t even understand how that works. Despite trying to research the topic a little it still seems murky to me: is falsetto the same as a head voice or is it somehow different? must a note be either falsetto, head voice or chest voice? can it ever be a combination? how does a low falsetto note differ from a high chest voice? can a listener tell what voice a singer is using by just listening? or must one look carefully at the singer to see what muscles are being used? to what extent is this a recording/live performance? do the camera operators know who to focus on? are the editors inserting the correct camera shot? do they choose the shot based on who is singing a certain part? or who appears more interesting at that point in time? or who deserves some camera time?
I’ve heard Maurice in interviews say he did not sing falsetto. He sang high harmonies. Was he saying this based on the source of his voice? Did he possibly not want to impinge upon what he saw as Barry’s role? Maybe he just did not like the label of falsetto. Perhaps he considered falsetto to be more closely associated with the lead singer. It’s easy to observe from several performances that he was able to sing very high and very low pitches. During one concert performance, Barry and Robin both seemed to smile in approval while singing upon hearing the pitch and strength of Maurice’s high harmony part. In another concert performance, it seemed like he accidentally held a note too long at the end of a song and it was a very high pitched note.
I’ve thought Robin’s tone of voice is distinctive and unique and yet Mo said sometimes he had difficulties in telling which voice was Robin’s and which was Barry’s. Maybe Robin’s voice was inimitable only within certain ranges or when he was focused on using his vibrato. I’m not listening to this performance because I don’t have headphones and I want to avoid awakening my husband. I’m a nocturnal creature and he’s not.
I appreciate your thoughts and believe your last sentence, in particular, to be very true.
Maurice was underrated by the public. He could do so many things, did the falsetto in quite a few songs!
My song 😍💗😍💗😍💗😍💗😍💗❤. Gorgeous song ♥️
Ah the genius that was Maurice. He was a master harmonist. His vocal range D2-E5 was superb. Pre Barry Falsetto, Maurice did the higher registers. Maurice was the glue that held all things together. People may say he was under appreciated but what he did, kept the brothers rock solid. He could throw in a harmony at any point in a song. Not to mention he loved the production side so much. Barry refers to him as the “Gadgets Man”. That was Mo.
I don't think it was Maurice alone doing this falsetto part but supporting Robin's.
@@leandrogado4596 it is in fact Mo singing falsetto and Mo sang falsetto during a live performance of Nights on Broadway 1975 Midnight Special.
Are you certain that was Maurice? Because I've always thought it was Robin. IT sure sounds like Robin
@@monicshastings8945 they all had falsettos but in their early days Maurice did more of his higher register. Watch 1975 Midnight Special Nights On Broadway and you will see that Maurice’s falsetto is used. You hear him here using his falsetto. The magic of The Bee Gees is trying to isolate whose voice it truly is. Their blend was spectacular. I love Maurice singing Man In The Middle and I always heard country in his voice. Gone too soon Maurice & Robin & Andy. RIP.
@@lemondropslollipops6634 yes, I know all about their falsettos. But what I am saying is, to me, that sounds like Robin's very unique, and highly distinctive voice
My favorite BeeGees song! I never get tired of hearing it! 💕👏
The twins are just 17-18 years here. Barry 20-21.
Twins were 17 since their birthday is December. Barry was likely 21, born in September.
You can sure see Andy in Barry’s clean shaven face..
Barry once said, that a lot of times, when people think it's him doing falsetto, it's actually been Maurice.
Love these brothers. Listening to them just makes you happy no matter what.
When the boys did a three part harmony Maurice took the high note! This is their most covered song. Thanks Chad.
Maurice preferred to play his instruments, he was more into production and the instrumentals but he could sing beautifully. The same for Robin he could play instruments but preferred to sing. Barry played rhythm guitar and of course his amazing voice. There was magic when they were singing and writing together.
Chad the look on your face was precious when you heard Maurice. They are so talented
There music makes me smile. Thank you Bee Geese for being in our lives.
Please react to BEEGEES MEDLEY...one for all tour concert1989
This song has had hundreds of other artists singing..it's awesome..great work BGSXXXXXXX
No one can sing it like the BGSXXXXXXX
Holy smokes they all look so cute here. And Barry’s voice is just amazing. This is a beautiful song. Love their outfits!
It looks like they’d been shopping in Carnaby street.The home of shopping,for all the hipsters and mods in the ‘60’s.
Keith Urban sang it recently at a tribute to the Bee Gees. He did a great version of the song
2017 and yes, he did the song justice.
And Barry was in the audience.
They are responceble for writeing 100s of songs for lots of people......look up n see its STUNNING!!!!!!💙way back to Bobbie Daren,
They did this song shortly after they arrived in London from Australia when they were signed to a 5 year contract by the same company who managed The Beatles. Their manager told them they need to buy some new "modern" clothes. This attire was the London style in London in 67. Barry could wear anything with style! They sound like angels.
Carnaby street.The Mods favourite.
In an interview Barry said if there was one final song he could sing to Linda, this would be it🥰!
A superb performance and like you said to harmonising is incredible. They have wonderful voices that get your attention and I really think they’re fabulous. Thank you for your reaction it was really good
Close your eyes while Barry is singing and imagine Andy standing there. Barry sounded like Andy at this age.
His voice was amazing in this song. In my opinion it is a masterpiece.
Many, many people have covered this song.
It's been covered by approximately 50 other artists over the years (Elvis, etc...) Robert Stigwood brought Barry in to meet Otis Redding and told him he wanted him to write a song for Otis, and this was it. However, Otis and his band died in a plane crash before they could get around to recording it, so the guys did it. It's like the song "Words", it was supposed to go to a big British singer, but they could never get in touch with him, so THEY recorded it. (Funny thing, that singer found this out yeeears later and told Barry that he'd been singing "Words" in his act and concerts for years! He was heartsick to find put it could have been "his" all along!)
This is my FAVORITE video of them doing this song BECAUSE of Mo's ad libs! They were great!! He wasn't doing it in falsetto, though - Maurice always did VERY high harmonies, especially in "Fannie".
THANKS, Chad, for another GREAT weekend! You're wonderful!! 💟
Sir Barry was ~21 and the twins Robin and Maurice were ~18 in this clip.
According to Robin, the brothers started out when the twins were 7, and big brother Barry was 10, in Manchester, UK.
Sir Barry had gotten a guitar for his 9th birthday - and the brothers would harmonize (and come up with lyrics...) while big brother taught himself to play the guitar.
Back then, they called themselves "The Rattlesnakes".
THANKS for the "Marathon Weekend", my friend - looking forward to Your next reaction!💕
It’s hard to believe that this was only four or five years after the black and white video of them singing “my old man’s a dust man.” I think that was in 1963.
I love this song because it does give Maurice a chance to show his unbelievable talent. Of course I always thought Mo was the true talent of the BrothersLOVE ALL THE BROTHERS THOUGH. Thanks for all the great songs and reactions👍👍👍💔💋💔🔥💋❤️🔥💋
Perfect harmonies Maurice!! He is almost always singing harmony, but he does have some lead songs, hope you try them!!
Morris uses falsetto voice on " Nights on Broadway" he had multi voice talent! ❤️
This sole song "speaks volumes" about their songwriting greatness, was responsible for my personal Bee Gees re-discover some years ago, turning me into a late-but-true-fan.
Thanks and 👏👏👏 Chad.
If you can, go watch the acoustic version in Robin's beatiful yard!
This song is just so beautiful and heartfelt. It was written by the Bee Gees, for Otis Redding to record, but Otis Redding died in a plane crash before he could record it, so the Bee Gees recorded it themselves.
Thanks so much for covering this one. It's my favorite Bee Gees tune.
It was recorded in England for.their first album in 1967.
Back in the day Maurice sang all the high notes, and even till the end. Check out "Nights on Broadway" from the Midnoght Special video, and you can see him hitting those high, ad lib parts.
As children Robin often sang the highest parts . Most obvious
On the Bandstand performances in 1963/64.
That's my favorite performance of Nights on Broadway. Mo had a beautiful voice.
Love your reaction. Love this song.
Lots and lots of artists have covered this song, they wrote it for Otis Redding but he died before he could record it, so they decided to do it themselves. This is one of their most remembered songs by most people, you can see why, and why they were always requested to sing it in concert through the years. They were in England when they recorded this.
Thank you chad, 💋💋💋 no one ever notices mo. I think they were 18 the twins. In 67 i was 17. They are only 5 months older than me. Great beautiful song.👍👍💔💔💔
Thank you Chad! This one has to be my favorite. They sound so great & what can I say - Barry was "The Man" in those 60s clothes & the love beads.
Thanks, Chad, for another great "Bee Gees" marathon weekend. You never disappoint with your reactions and we will be waiting patiently for your next one!
Quite a few have sung this. Michael Bolton, Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, Rod Stewart, Flying Burrito Brothers, Tom Jones to name a few.
Fair Girl66 - Even Janis Joplin.
Keith Urban did a great rendition on the 2017 Grammy Salute to the Bee Gees.
This might be my favorite. I used to say it to my Jim. Because I cannot sing! I have music in my soul, but it comes out like a wounded wildebeest! 🤣
_I burst out with laughter on that one! You're silly. I sound the same way!_
I can strongly recommend the BeeGees documentary which was produced with Barry's assistance a few years ago, called "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart'. It takes you through the early years in Australia through the passing of Andy, Maurice and Robin, with amazing insights into how they created such amazing music.
🥀Beautiful Song amazing lyrics, vocals and music! Keith Urban sang it I listen to it all the time but no one can replace The Brothers Bee Gees. Thank's for posting this video. 🥀☝️
You picked a good one here, Chad! I love to see their earlier stuff and see how they grew over the years. Love Barry's pants,too! Your reaction was priceless! Have you considered getting a seatbelt for your chair?? LOL! 💖💖💖
And..listen closely, that was Robin's vibrato but the video happened to be on Maurice.
My high school sweetheart always had the latest fads. He had pants like these and dickies that were just a neck portion of a turtle neck shirt that all the guys wore back then. That was back in 1964 or 1965.
Here's a Bee Gees trip for you- first listen to Don't Turn Out The Lights off the LP To Whom It May Concern. Then listen to the same song by The Gibb Collective (TGC are the adult children of the Gibb Brothers) Two songs, one reaction- not to compare but just to admire the Gibb genetics. TGC: 1st verse sung by Robin's oldest Spenser, 2nd verse: Barry's oldest Steve. 3rd verse: Maurice's oldest Adam. 4th verse: Andy's daughter Peta. Also features Maurice's daughter Sam. Enjoy :)
Spencer definitely has a touch of his Dad in his voice and looked lot like him when he was younger.
My favorite beegees song
This performance is from the then very popular music show “Beat Club”. This was the only and the first programme with popular music for the younger generation here in Germany. Even though I was much too young for this kind of music I remember watching it together with my two older brothers every Saturday,. (Younger sisters always want to do what their admired older brothers do!! )😊 . By the way, I didn’t understand a single word they were singing, but I managed to learn some English out of the songs. So I grew up with that kind of music and I´m still in love with it. Some years later the walls of my room were paved with pictures of the popstars, especially the Bee Gees. My mother wasn’t very happy about this. I’m so glad that now the younger generation starts to understand how genius their music was.
Thank you for your great reactions, Chad. In my opinion your channel is the best and it’s the only one I decided to subscribe to. I’m looking forward to your next marathon. Take care and stay healthy everyone. Regards from Germany
Alot of others have covered this song. It is indeed a classic!
Ooh this was the first song of the 60s that I heard of them that made me listen to more of their earlier music....Also Maurice has unreleased songs of the 60s/70s too check out his song I've come back he sounds different but he still sounds like an angel 😅
Barry is only 21 here. The twins 18 or 19. They were already successful and rich.
They were in England when this song was recorded. They were with Robert Stigwood by this point.
They went to America with Robert Stigwood when New York Mining Disaster hit #1; He and Barry went to see Otitis Redding and they met afterwards.Robert ask Barry to write a song for Otis, they recorded it themselves in England after he was killed in a plane crash
Um, in 2009 they put out a 50 year celebration cd called "The Ultimate Bee Gees" and Tim Rice wrote a piece in the booklet for the cd that was a short bit about how their musical career went from Queensland, Australia until Maurice died, and then when Robin and Barry put out that cd, a collection of music, in 2009. So, it was supposed to be 50 years back in 2009, according to the Gibbs. 😀
CHAD, CHAD, CHAD!
✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I found a gem! A Lonely Violin by Barry and also covered by Percy Sledge!🙂🙂🙂
Fabulous song.. been covered a lot 🥰
I inform you ... this song was commissioned by Robert Stigwood to Barry, Robert was gay and had had a love disappointment, Barry knew it and composed the melody for Robert, but the idea was for Ottis Redding to sing it, who died in an accident aircraft. It is one of the songs with the most covers in history, many singers have sung it, such as Rod Stewart, Janis Joplin, Michael Bolton, Jimmy Somerville, Keith Urban, Nina Simone, etc.
Luv your chanal...its the best...
Love the old Bee Gees. So much talent and what a future in front of them. This was written by The Bee Gees for Otis Redding but he died in a car wreck before he had a chance to record. First recorded by Bee Gees. I’m sure other artists used as covers. Wow Mo’s voice here! He sang a lot of falsetto.
Otis Redding loved The Bee Gees song writing abilities and asked them to write him a song and they wrote this song for him. When he was killed in a plane crash they recorded it themselves in London.
He always sang the high harmony
A classic tune by the brothers, showing immense talent at such young ages still. Maurice was amazing on the falsetto parts ! Thanks so
much for these Bee Gee marathons, they are truly
appreciated. Chad, you're
doing a great job as a reactor. Take care.
This is one of my all-time favorites from the Bee Gees. 😊🥰
I seem to remember hearing that they wrote the song for Otis Redding, but he died before he could record it.
I love u bee gees
Yes that Was Maurice singing falsetto! He often sings falsettos!!!
That was Robin singing that part.
? Looked like Maurice.
It was Maurice.
I'd always thought it was Robin in both parts, but obviously here, Mo is singing the first part and Robin the second one. Here's a link to watch a huge TV live performance where Robin sings only one time that part. But unfortunately after, it lacks two others. It's so strange, a real frustrating void. I hate it. czcams.com/video/2i__9KY-sBI/video.html
I am pretty sure it was Maurice.
Robin and Barry wrote the song for their album Bee Gees ‘1st. their third album 🤩
OMG Finally! FINALLY! MY ABSOLUTE FAVE!
Also, I believe the video you were referring to was in the latter part of the 50's
bee gees in the hit of the night
Great reaction. The song was originally written for Otis Redding but he sadly died before recording. Became a huge hit for them and then recorded by many different artists...the list is huge. A soul blues classic I guess you'd call it.
So great! Exactly this German-TV show (BEATCLUB) I've been watching as an 13 year old boy. They came over me like thunder and lightning. Got me at once and I knew, I'd never ever change my mind about this music-geniuses. So my journey began and is on the run since nowadays. 'To Love Somebody' is maybe the most covered song ever. I've branded about 2 hours of covers on cd's until I gave up. And to make it clear, it's Robin, doin' that high "ah..........." and "come on..........." part at the end. BTW, not with falsetto, it's the highest note he arrives with "normal" voice. Yaknow it's been a lipsync-presentation. So maybe check out one of their so many liveshows, 'cause that song was always done by them. You can't miss it. So nice to hear their ability, whoever sang the verse, to flow into a phantastic three-part-harmony chorus, where always Maurice sang the high part, also able to to it with chestvoice. The range of Barry is bariton, what he does soul- and powerful. Or as we all know the best falsetto ever, so it's loud and clear, used with vibrato. Maurice's range is the widest. He's been able to sing from bass up to falsetto. In case of vocal-abilities, no other group can compare with the Bee Gees!
Boy does this take me back..
Yes love them all. Individual talent, but together...ULTIMATE!
They wrote Heartbreaker, and it was Maurice who insisted they record it too. He said after they wrote it for her, he cried on his way home because they were not recording it❤
They shared their whole heart without delay.
Even when the Bee Gees sing their music, each time line its amazing.
Yes other artists sing this and others. But none are as good or feeling its birth like The Bee Gees.
Yes Maurice has his own touches too.
Listen too them as time goes, same song...growing as they go.
Yes their dress...I have to remind myself sometimes their from London area😊
Michael Bolten sang it...and did a great job. But the Bee Gees wrote it and sing it amazingly.
Yes they all have the ability too go up or down.
Yes Tom Jones and Michael Bolton released this to!
Fun watching with you again! One of my favorite songs!!! :)
Ooh I had a notification and I hoped it was you doing a last video. I am so enjoying sharing your discovery of this great band, as I am also exploring their work, having only known their disco songs. Loved Maurices` vocal here,wow!. For a beautiful Barry led song try" Be who You are" Robin has made me cry on "Don`t fall in love with me," but his "Days of wine and Roses "is too beautifully sad to listen too even for a newbie fan. Keep up your journey it`s so appreciated. Much love to you and your daughter xx . I don`t know about your other subscribers but I`m fine with you reacting to audio only tracks
Chad, when you get a chance listen to the "Bee Gees-Unplugged Collection 1981" on CZcams. They sing 7 songs in what sounds like the end of an interview. Their acoustic singing with just Barry playing the guitar showcases their amazing musical talent!
Oh Chad, this is just very 1967 Carnaby Street fashion. Barry and the brothers carry it off. I'm sure you have heard the song. So many artists have covered it. I'm thinking of Janis Joplin, Tom Jones, even Michael Bolton. Barry is 20 - he turned 21 in September that year. The twins are 17. Can you believe the maturity and timing these guys have at such a young age? I just love what Barry does with humming the word "in" before he comes in with "In my mind", and he waits until after the beat to sing "do" at "But what good does it do." All the brothers are true perfection.
They were in the U.K
at this point. The song was written for Robert Stigwood and meant to be sung by Otis Redding.
This was written by them for Otis Redding, but he passed before they could get too him.
Wow! So much soul for young guys! And for them to write such an impactful song so early on. I can see why so many artists have covered it!
I wish I had a time machine
And Maurice WAS a major major hunk!!❤
No, it is not Maurice. The voice you hear here is Robin. Ofcourse Maurice is in the harmony but the distinct voice is Robin. Remember this is playback
This did not become a big hit from them but over the years it has become a signature song for them.
It was written for Otis Redding, but he sadly died in a plane crash before he could record it, so they did it themselves.
And yes it has recorded by many artists like Michael Bolton, Janis Joplin, Tom Jones, Michael Buble, Rod Stewart, Bonnie Tyler and many more.
My favorite cover is Keith Urbans version from the concert "Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees" from 2017.
It does show Maurice on camera, but it was definitely Robin's distinctive voice singing that "oh no no"....
The “Falsetto by Maurice” was actually Robin but the camera was on Maurice. You can hear Moe singing the higher notes on the 3 piece harmony.
@Daniel Navarro agreed! That is 100% Robin's voice.
@@Zlata1313 - I disagree. There are other videos including live performances where Maurice sings that part - BUT - in other live performances Robin sings it. They would often switch. czcams.com/video/TbnZH2fZRFQ/video.html
@@Zlata1313 I disagree - Mo’s lips synch with the singing. But yes, they would switch parts a lot.
It was Mo
It was Maurice. You can plainly hear Barry's baritone and Robin's unique vibrato at the same time. Barry said in an interview that Maurice sang high harmony.
Near the end of too much heaven, Mo did the amazing falsetto while Barry climbed the scales
