"First of May" is also a great song. The banter between Lulu and Tom Jones makes this fantastic! I'm going to see if someone has uploaded the entire show.
I first listened Robin's a started a joke in 1969 when I was 17 now I am 71 ,the everlasting melody is still as vivid as before.. Thank U the Gibbs brothers.. Ur songs have enriched my life all these years
Barry Gibb says in the Bee Gees documentary that he would give up all the group's hits if he could just have his brothers Robin and Maurice back. Well, Barry, your brothers and you are immortal because of those hits, which only the Bee Gees could have delivered so beautifully! God bless you three--and Andy too.
"We don't say goodbye" from their best ever song "Immortality" as so aptly sung by Celine Dion in a tearjerker video production before their losses with the exception of Andy. RIP Maurice, Robin and René. Truer words never spoken.
They wrote some of the most beautiful music ever and carried those songs with three of the most uniquely beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. I love these guys dearly. Don’t know where all that sadness came from..
*Boomer here: I sincerely hope Gen Z takes away one big lesson from this song. No machine, no computer, no bot will ever top human talent, passion, and creativity. Machines and computers, they can do many things humans can't do. But not the arts, not [real] music. Never lose real music. In a way, you already have. Rap isn't music, it's talking. 60s, 70s, and 80s... that was real music. It changes your mood, your mind, and your thinking. Never give up real music, nothing replaces it.*
Being that I was born mid 50's I know what you're saying but I'll be honest, I just love music. It's subjective imo. Nirvana, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Elvis, Jackson 5 (RIP Michael) Coolio (gangster paradise*) Nat KIng Cole, Tchaikovsky, Amy Winehouse etc etc. I appreciate that there are Artists for all my moods, mind & thinking.
I'm a big big fan of Robin, I started a joke is one of my favorite songs of them since childhood! I'm 58 now, this song still sounds as beautiful as yesterday & brings back so many memories.
THE BEE GEES ARE STILL IN MY HEART FOREVER BARRY KNOWS ME WE MET IN 1977 WHEN I WAS 14 AND HE AND I DATED WE WERE EATING OUT AT DIFFERENT RESTURANTS WE HAD FUN EATING TOGETHER

Robin Gibb your voice is amazing. It always melt my heart and soul. We won't forget you and your brothers. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace beside our Heavenly Father. 🙏
@@TheBrownlj See here you are again, not accepting other people's preferences. Maybe it's you that should just scroll past positive comments about anyone except Barry, I'm certain he doesn't need you or anyone else disrespecting his beloved brothers.
@lindajames978 didn't say anything negative about Robin at all just said it was my least favourite song. It's your problem how you interpret that, not mine.
Robin’s beautiful wobbling voice strangles my heart and shakes the tears out with every wavering shake of his vibrato. Never been another singer quite like him.
I started a joke which started the whole world crying But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no I started to cry which started the whole world laughing Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me Oh no that the joke was on me
We owe a lot to the Brothers Gibb, we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for us to listen to their Songs and Music. God bless all the Brothers Gibb. Perhaps we will meet at Heavens Door. Peter Keane.
'Joke' will be remembered always. One of the greatest songs of all time. And robin's vocals, masterful perfection. It belongs in the music hall of fame, along with robin gibb.
For those who don't know Maurice Gibb was married to Lulu for four years from 1969 - 1973. Hence the laughter whenever she mentions his name to Tom Jones at the beginning.
I still adore the Beegees ! So talented! On my bestest list from beginning to present, never die!!💕They will always be remembered as one of the best ever….
Robin was the epitamy of a masterful voice. We shall never know all the greatness he could have achieved. He sings and we all sit up and take notice. A life-changing experience. Gone too soon.
I remember me and my little brother along with my mom and had just gone to the movies to see Rachell Welch in 1 Million years BC...we' were driving back to the house in Ipswitch in England...and this started playing just as we approach the house...my dad just kept driving until the song was over...amazing what sticks in your head...life is good.
1st of May was a beautiful song. Who knew, that years later long after Lulu and Maurice married & divorced, that they would reunite and sing that same song together as a duet!! Beautiful!! You could tell there was still love between, both of them!! Thank You, for the memories!!
@sharonmoore9934 That was so stunning. That performance took my breath away and had me in tears. It was really beyond touching and to think that it was within a few months and beautiful Mo was gone 😭💔
At least Mo got some attention here.... diligently and beautifully playing the piano out of the spotlight. Thx Lulu. They were fantastic for 5+ decades. ❤ Always missed.
And as they matured they all were attractive. Sadly knowing that RG and MG voices will never ever be heard on this planet. Oh. It will via continues listening. But God knows. They left a huge void 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
These were beautiful and touching songs. Simple, melodic, lovely. The hair, the style, all 1960’s, so that does not matter to the lens of time looking backward. What does is their incredible talent and harmonies that was such a gift to all of them, and to us all so many years later.
Who is still listening to this in 2024 ? I am, its a classic ❤
"First of May" is also a great song. The banter between Lulu and Tom Jones makes this fantastic! I'm going to see if someone has uploaded the entire show.

Thank U the Gibbs brothers..
Ur songs have enriched my life all these years
Me too! I remember trying to figure out what the song meant then!
It’s been a wild ride
the magic of this song can never be forgotten
Well said and well put !
I do not think we will ever hear harmonies like that again.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I’m one of those people 👍
I'm here too.
So am I
Amo amo amo❤❤Robin Robin Robin❤❤
Yes me in the Netherlands
As simple as it sounds, Ive always thought the song "I've started a joke" is one of the most beautiful songs ever
I never get tired of listening to Robin sing lead vocals. Such a beautiful voice.
Indubitably !

It still brings tears to my eyes. ❤

I also liked Massachusetts and New York Mining Disaster when I was a kid.
This song brings us to the youth as iam almost 59
@@debbiem9005woyw... I always love New York too
So blessed had a time to go there so many times b4 50th.
Barry was the most attractive to the female audience but Robins voice was by far superior. His vocals are unforgettable.
@Frances Hunt 100%
Nope on both fronts
Looks and vocal talent are subjective !😊😊
Their voices together were everything.
@joycheek6756 no he wasn't , lots of us ladies prefer Robin and not just for his voice.
There will never be a group like the Bee Gees. again. They were, and still are, the best of the best, then, now, and forever
U are so correct never will such a group exist
THE BEE GEES ARE STILL IN MY HEART FOREVER BARRY KNOWS ME WE MET IN 1977 WHEN I WAS 14 AND HE AND I DATED WE WERE EATING OUT AT DIFFERENT RESTURANTS WE HAD FUN EATING TOGETHER
Scary, but you're correct. They grow more precious with time. I'm 77 y.o.

No one has ever been able to sing like Robin. He was so gifted.
So is Barry.
Sheep can 🐏🐑
I Started A Joke is such a sad song. I love it though. And Robin’s voice is so beautiful.
❤✅✅✅
Robin has the best voice.
Indeed.
A voice loss to the world
The best song ever, thanks for this poem made song. This wonderful voice only Robin Gibb the best thanks Beeges.
Beautiful Robin's song, his voice is unmistakable and irreplaceable. We miss you.
I was born in 1968. I'm still listening ever since.
I started a joke. My favorite Bee Gees song. Robin Gibb is a marvelous singer. Totally awesome.
Have you heard Faith No More's cover? It's fantastic.
My least favourite Bee Gees song

Wobbling is actually called vibrato.
@@edthomas8486 yes, indeed.. that is why I said “with every wavering shake of his vibrato”
I like the way he does Massachusetts too. Think it is my favorite of his.
As with the Beatles, each had a unique vocal quality to add to their distinctive group sound.
Robin's voice was unique and beautiful 😍
The Bee Gees were great. I loved them all❤ RIP Mo and Robin taken far too soon ❤❤
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living

All 3 made the Bee Gees! To judge someone on looks is shallow. Love them all .
I wish Robin and Maurice had had more opportunities to shine.❤
I adored Robin when I was a teenager. Im 63 now, and that teenage flame still burns. Lovely man, lovely voice.
Except for that hairstyle, what was he thinking?😮😮
😅😅😅😅 @@stacyward4309
Keep those lovely memories dear.
RIP Robin such an angelic voice, truly missed 2023 ❤
The bee gees will always be number one in my book

If those songs don't make you cry you need to fall in love
Robin gibb your a amazing singer and still sadly missed dude
RIP 😢 beautiful songs forever ❤
The first bee gee song I ever heard was robin singing Massachusetts.
It blew me away - and I’ve been a fan of this group ever since.
Robin Gibbs voice is haunting my soul ....in a beautiful way....
I knew them as kids. Always remember
We,not the small group,the world is still with tears every time we meet them.
The Bee Gees had more hits from their beginning on.. Never to be duplicated.. They changed our world, through their music. Beautiful ❤
I still adore the Beegees ! So talented! On my bestest list from beginning to present, never die!!💕They will always be remembered as one of the best ever….
I love these brothers. Their voices. Their personalities. All of them are DREAMY❤️
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,and have a fine taste too.
1st time I heard "started a joke', I burst into tears... emotional words & music
Robins voice especially with this song, gives me chills on chills. Its in my top 3 songs bu the BGs
Bee Gees absolut grandios.
Ich bin 76 Jahre und höre sie jeden Tag. Vielen Dank.
Barry and Robin had their gifts but Mo had his own gifts and I loved his solos which really showed his true talent.
Truely great memories and music. Miss these guys!
Unbelievable these voices. They were unbelievable artists. Sometimes I think better then The Beatles 😢😮
Of course they were better than the Beatles !! No comparison whatsoever!!
Well, they sure beat the Beatles on longevity!
Surely you're not serious
The Bee Gees could sing Beatles songs, but the Beatles could not sing The Bee Gees
Now how about legendary status
Robin was the epitamy of a masterful voice. We shall never know all the greatness he could have achieved. He sings and we all sit up and take notice. A life-changing experience. Gone too soon.

Most of the time, love never completely dies.
He had a crying voice, so to speak also. Also the song massachusetts was another one that was very very good.
Robin's voice was extraordinary!!
Tom was looking fine too❤
Robin's mother, a voice teacher, said that he sang like an Angel.
Robin Gibbs voice is haunting my soul.I can’t get enough of them.It’s Great and wonderful music ❤❤❤ 🎉
One of the greatest group of singers ever.
You certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !!
@@jubalcalif9100 thank you... 😃
So very classic, for so many - they are a point in life!
I never realized Robin’s voice was so good…
1969 was the year Lulu and Maurice married. Hence her dreamy-eyed introduction
And about the time all the arguments started within the band and they started to go their own ways
I love the brothers,Robin was and still is my favorite I love his voice. They always sounded wonderful together.❤❤❤
Robin was the coolest guy ever !
I always loved Robin ❤
At least Mo got some attention here.... diligently and beautifully playing the piano out of the spotlight. Thx Lulu. They were fantastic for 5+ decades. ❤ Always missed.
Incredibil those times when decency counts. So long ago. A different world. Yea Bee Gees
And as they matured they all were attractive. Sadly knowing that RG and MG voices will never ever be heard on this planet. Oh. It will via continues listening. But God knows. They left a huge void 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
I adour the bee gees , Robin had such an angelic voice ❤
There voices are just magical? There music will always be in our hearts!❤ and thats no Joke!😊
Discovering falsetto disco sound made them legendary
So beautiful and so incredibly sad at the same time.
I can never stop listening to them, one of the best groups.
They had a sound that was so different, so unique ,they are truly missed😅
I think The Bee Gees' songs have inspired a lot of music and fashion.
Me too
OMG! Hauntingly beautiful. Just amazing. Tears were welling up by the end of the second song. Just etherial.
Robin voce immensa, manchi a tutti noi che amiamo lamusica
I will listen to this forever.
I feel he had the better voice out of all the brothers. Beautiful song. RIP Robin
😭😭😭❤❤❤🇭🇲🇭🇲
Robin's voice though...omg
Love the Bee Bees!! Poor Andy died at age 30. They were all great!!!
This must be Robin's best performance of "I Started a Joke."
Thanks for sharing this video. It is really a jewel. What a good souvenirs !
I was able to hear & watch till now on Video..thanx for sharing this video on U tube.😂❤😢
