You know, Harri, they did not get the full respect they earned and deserved. Especially when the 'disco' era was coming to an end, they were targeted by a subgroup in the music industry (the beginnings of the punk movement) that aimed their anger at the Bee Gees because they were SO PROLIFIC after Saturday Night Live. I believe they had 5 of the 6 very top spots on the charts at that point. Sadly, the BeeGees were forced into the background, but decided to keep writing and selling their music to other famous artists (like Barbra Streisand). Barry wrote the entire 'Guilty' album for her and performed a duet on it. They are truly incredible and I am so happy you appreciate them so fully. Great channel, Harri!
Back then some people took them very much for granted. It seems, today, though, that people are realizing how truly great they are, and even their critics back then have opened their eyes. I hope Barry sees this
You are so right--there is no one group that can hold a candle to the harmonies that the Brothers Gibb could do. I would say these brothers have as much talent as any group out there in songwriting and singing.
I agree, they got a lot of fame, recognition and appreciation back then, but the critics really held back. Now, these same critics are repentant, and I hope Barry Gibb sees this hapoening. I agree, they should’ve been talked about in the same light as the Beatles, from the start. I think they were better than the Beatles, and Barry Gibb is just as prolific a songwriter as Paul McCartney.
They are the only Band or Group to have No.1's both sides of the Atlantic in 4 different Decades in Music History .... Nobody else has, or probably ever will, achieve that ..... As Artists, Songwriters, Arrangers and Producers their Legacy is intact .....
This song reminds me of the Beatles I know that they idealized the Beatles and said that they'd be bigger than the Beatles back when they were beginning in the 60's. I don't really think that they are underrated I just think that we just didn't realize how great they were until more recently. I had no idea how many hits they had for themselves and others. Going back I'm not sure that I would have apreciately them back in the day because I wasn't ready. For me they are THE GREATEST!!!
A 68yo they still break my heart! Loved them then and now. My boyfriend used to get mad cause I would play the album over and over. Really pissed him off. Too bad! Loved it!
The video of this song is great. These guys never learned to read music. Makes them even more incredible. If you haven't reacted to Fanny Be Tender. Please do.
Guinness World Records lists Barry Gibb as the second highest-grossing songwriter in history behind McCartney. Gibb's career spans more than 60 years. He and his brothers were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of the Bee Gees.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_to_Me_(Bee_Gees_song) Andy Williams did a cover of this song-- Barry's album "Greenfields" has Brandi Carlisle singing with Barry--
I think many people have covered this song, but most notably Barry Manilow and Dionne Warwick did it as a duet, and Marie Osmond covered it on her album This is the Way That I Feel, with all of her brothers singing back up, which actually sounds pretty cool. Though, she changed the lyrics a little, instead of "now and then you need someone older" she says "now and then, if her love grows colder."
Something about respect. Big fans of them were (are) Brian Wilson, Alice Cooper, Bono, Stephen Stills, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, George Martin, Paul Anka and and and and and many, many more great supastars. Elvis, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Status Quo, Take That, Beyonce, Jimmy Sommerville, Jose Feliciano and an endless list of other great singers or groups covered songs of them. They wrote whole albums for Kenny Rogers, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, The Marbles or Diana Ross. So what's the problem if a bunch of bloody bastard, so called music-experts ever tried to push them under the carpet or US radiostations stopped to give them airplay. Why should an oak be pissed of a wildsow, rubbing it's ass on it? Bee Gees went to eternity because of their genius of art in music. Not to compare at all. That's it, just the truth.
This was their lead single from the album, To Whom it May Concern, in 1972. Barry sings the lead, while Maurice sings in a low key with Robin in the chorus which is barely audible. Stunning beautiful harmonies that blend into the most powerful burst of heaven. Outstanding Classic. It chronicles the wishes of a man who longs to be noticed by a broken hearted girl. Maybe Andy Williams is who you're looking for Harri. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. 👏 👏👏 Amazing classic. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm glad you said the album name. I knew I had it as a teen but disremembered the name. It certainly got me singing this early morning! Hail from Alberta born and raised!
From what I have seen they are very underrated. A lot of people take them as a joke, not taking them seriously. It’s a shame because they are in a higher lever of talent, from their voices to their outstanding songwriting. Their music stirs you deep inside as very few artists can. It’s truly sad that their beautiful music and that’s more than 1000+ songs written and performed by them never get a chance to be heard.
Yes, they were Soooo underrated, especially after Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack and movie came out. Barry Gibb and his brothers have accomplished so much in their decades long career. I tend to think some people are envious because they surprised A lot of people in the music industry.I lived through that whole period when people were making fun of them and it was really sad. Barry Gibb is a musical genius.
@@marygriffiths2950 - All three are musical geniuses. Robin wrote 90+% of their songs with Barry and Mo put them to music. A 3 legged stool. One leg gone and it's not the same.
@@susieq9801 Oh Susie , I used to set up your dates for the boys back in the day. Robin and Mo may have contributed to the song writing etc.but without Barry there's no way Robin and Mo would have reached any kind of monumental success had they gone on there own . Barry had the looks and the voice which made them who they were .
Hello Robins is one of the strongest voices in the chorus , they are all so brilliant , it saddens me that Maurice and Robin are no longer here , they were just adding Andy to the group when he died , I heard Barry say he would give it all up just to have them all back , at the end of the day family are the most lmportant people in most peoples lives ❤️🏴
Another terrific song with all three in harmonies, Maurice said that sometimes when Barry and Robin sing lead it could be thought it was only one brother but that was actually the unison of they two.
Barry recent album he collaborated with today’s top country singers and covered all Bee Gees songs. Check it out! Great reaction. And yes, they were awesome!
Love when the three part hatmonies kick in. There are more than 30 covers of this song, including johnny Mathis, Brenda Lee, the Osmonds, Manilow, Barry again with Brandy Carlisle on Greenfields in 20, and even one already this year. Great song
Love Barry's duets with Barbra Streisand! Please react to their 2 duets from Barbra's backyard concert in 1986....Guilty & What Kind of Fool.🥰czcams.com/video/qHEFZxTkNyQ/video.html
I agree they stand comparison with Lennon & McCartney. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack alone is worthy of their status as amongst the very best of pop composers.
They are tied at the top with McCartney and Lennon for number of number one hit songs written. They are in the songwriters hall of fame and the rock and roll hall of fame. I'm sure it has been covered too, just can't think of a name tonight. My favorite group in the world. You really should check out Barry's album Greenfields. Well, I looked a bit and didn't find a cover, doesn't mean there isn't one, just that it wasn't liked enough to make song lists. Although the Bee Gees version and the version from Barry's Greenfields album were both there.
Damn another one of my fave Brothers Gibb songs. It's 1972 I am on the road as a sales intern prior to going off to college and Run to Me is playing on the radio. Magical.
They have been highly acclaimed and rightfully so.Changing their earlier style to a disco danceable style yet retaining their awesome harmonizing that very few have ever done!
@JOEL LIEBLER their music wasn't disco. They hated that label stuck on them that caused an unjust backlash that lasted a decade. They called their music contemporary r&b and blue eyed soul.
I saw The Bee Gees live and can say the crowd went crazy. Women throwing their underwear on the stage on every song. Greatest harmonies of any group. Barry Gibb has written so many number ones hits the shows are incredible.
As many have mentioned, this song has been covered by many artists. That in itself says so much. Those harmonies are impeccable. More Bee Gees coming your way Harri. Pre-disco, disco era and post disco era. 👍👍✌✌
This song was covered by; Dionne Warwick and Barry Manilow, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, Oscar De La Hoya, Lee Towers and Anita Meyer, Moulin Rouge, Gheorghe Zamfir, Fausto Papetti, Bliss, Flower, Barry Gibb and Brandi Carlile, Spencer Gibb and 54 Seconds, Pas De Printemps Pour Marnie, Material Issue, Sarah Vaughan, John Tabacco, Johnny Mathis, Tino Reyes Trio, Brenda Lee, Gail Blanco, 8 Bit Arcade, Willie en De Billies and Coke Belda feat. Lindsay Murray. So yes Harri you would have undoubtedly heard this sung before!!
Their earlier albums are amazingly good, and there are dozens and dozens that are wonderful before you get to the mid seventies, where their music changed so radically. Thank you for your reaction
This is a Bee Gees song. They certainly weren't underrated for me but were given the short end of the stick. I think they are the best group ever and I love them so much. They are performers, singers, song writers and wonderful. Lots of their music was covered by others so maybe you have heard that. Thanks Harri
Love the fact that you love, appreciate and respect the Bee Gees as much as I do! Great reaction as always HarriThere are so many artists that covered this song so I'm not sure which version is sounding familiar to you! Love from Texas!!!
They wrote all their songs - there's a reason they're in the Songwriters Hall of Fame! Hit after hit across 4 decades. Check out the "Still Waters" album!
All those saying they were underrated obviously didn't know them in the 70s, they were on top of the world. Imo they will never get enough accolades, but I think saying they are underrated is simply not right. Perhaps they weren't as big in the US, but, there is an entire world apart from the US. Btw Robin sings the chorus
You can't help but love these guys, and that is pretty much what they sing about LOVE. Although Barry is the only one remaining of the brothers Gibb, he has always been the romantic, and has absolutely no shame about claiming it. Thanks Harri, sorry I don't know who else sang this.
Harri, I had the white label DJ copy of this back in 1972. Practically wore a hole through it. It was an "embarrassment" during this burgeoning hard rock era to be a Bee Gees fan, though many there were lurking in the closet, secretly listening. There was even an appreciative magazine article (I think in Creem) which raised this very point. The writer, while lauding the Bee Gees as a guilty pleasure, jokingly lived in fear of a morose, embarrassing fantasy: "MAN STRUCK AND KILLED BY CAR WHILE CARRYING BEE GEES RECORD." You had to be there during that era to truly appreciate it. This rock era was the first major time the Gibbs faced resentment by the rock community, though actually even in Australia they were sometimes put down as a goody-two-shoes kiddie act akin to the Osmonds (whom they later befriended). Much later, after their extreme success in the 1970s and early '80s, they were to incur a more savage and career-damaging wrath when for years DJs refused to play their records and professional sports teams held "Disco Record Burning Parties" on the athletic fields. Barry Gibb is the #2 hit songwriter behind Paul McCartney. The great session drummer, Clem Cattini (Clemente Anselmo Agustino Cattini), who, as a member of the Tornados, drummed on Joe Meek's 1962 composition and production of the worldwide hit, "Telstar," is on the skins here. Listen to his syncopated roll at 4:16. Just lovely work; precisely what the climax of the song called for. He, the Gibbs, and many regulars of the Bee Gees recording and touring personnel, are depicted in the novelty pop-up gatefold album jacket on which "Run to Me" appears, the lp, "To Whom it May Concern."
I have so many favorites, I adore them, but this song is on my short list of favorites. It’s beautiful, one of their best, and ironically came out during the period when they were struggling with record sales.
Harri, would you please consider reacting to their medley from the 1989 Melbourne "One for All" concert. They do bits of many of their hits plus those they wrote for people like Streisand, Warwick, Rogers/Parton, Diana Ross, Celine Dion. Are they underappreciated? YESYESYESYES! Three distinct voices. All great songwriters. They are rated among the top 5 groups for sales and as composers of all time (up there with Lennon/McCartney, Elton/Bernie, &c.) and would have been even higher if not blacklisted due to the disco backlash which was simply a blip on their radar. My favorite voice was Robin's with his amazing natural vibrato. Barry starts the song, then Robin comes in with "Run to me", then Maurice joins for the third harmony. czcams.com/video/faoIZAvaQ6Y/video.html
Those meatheads in the hall of fame, should honor this mans career with a tribute while he's still with us instead of co tinually 😮watering down their product
Great song, great reaction. The Bee Gees are one of the absolute best singer/songwriters ever and I do believe they are totally underrated. Thank you for reacting to such a classic anthem of them
This is, along with Broken Heart and Words, my favorite 3 Bee Gees tunes, but their song catalog is sooo huge there are many more I love. But for emotional reasons, those 3 stand out. Bee Gees are without a doubt one of the greatest song writing teams ever, along with the amazing harmonies, they stand along my angel Karen C. as my two favorite singer/singers of my generation. I have other ones I adore, like Linda R., but the Gibbs and Ms. Carpenter stand out.
Hair, I think The Bee Gees were the original singers of Run to Me. I don’t remember anyone else performing this song. I do believe it was their song, and they of course, were the best!!
Yes.The Bee Gees are Great and talented. Even at their very young age about 5to 6 years old.❤😊❤
You know, Harri, they did not get the full respect they earned and deserved. Especially when the 'disco' era was coming to an end, they were targeted by a subgroup in the music industry (the beginnings of the punk movement) that aimed their anger at the Bee Gees because they were SO PROLIFIC after Saturday Night Live.

No they are not underrated they are GOATS. Yes, one of the best song writing teams ever. EVER.
Back then some people took them very much for granted. It seems, today, though, that people are realizing how truly great they are, and even their critics back then have opened their eyes. I hope Barry sees this
Their voices in harmony were an instrument no other group had.
There's nothing else to add to your comment. You nailed it!!😎👍👍
Well said!
You are so right--there is no one group that can hold a candle to the harmonies that the Brothers Gibb could do. I would say these brothers have as much talent as any group out there in songwriting and singing.
A monster hit in the summer of 1972. Great car riding song.
Run to You,Bryan Adams
Thet never got the recognition they deserved. It's taken all of these for them to start getting the respect they should always have had.
I agree, they got a lot of fame, recognition and appreciation back then, but the critics really held back. Now, these same critics are repentant, and I hope Barry Gibb sees this hapoening. I agree, they should’ve been talked about in the same light as the Beatles, from the start.

Bee Gees are the best!! I think they are often underrated and under appreciate, but once you become a fan you are a FAN!
So glad you played this song. My very favorite Bee Gees song. Very simple but to the point. I love this!!❤
This song reminds me of the Beatles I know that they idealized the Beatles and said that they'd be bigger than the Beatles back when they were beginning in the 60's. I don't really think that they are underrated I just think that we just didn't realize how great they were until more recently. I had no idea how many hits they had for themselves and others.

They absolutely should!!!!
A 68yo they still break my heart! Loved them then and now. My boyfriend used to get mad cause I would play the album over and over. Really pissed him off. Too bad! Loved it!
Along with Carpenters, their music has the power to bring back more memories than any other singers.
Brenda Lee did a cover of Run to me on her 1973 Album, Brenda. And a lady I don't know of Linda Eder did a cover of it, too.
A lesser known Bee Gees song but my personal favorite.
The video of this song is great. These guys never learned to read music. Makes them even more incredible. If you haven't reacted to
Fanny Be Tender.
Please do.
The Bee Gees were absolutely Amazing. Dionne Warwick and Barry Manilow also recorded Run to me

😮 didn’t know this. Thanks!!
Barry's not only the second most successful songwriter in music history, but he's also the second most successful music producer as well!
by far and away my favorite Bee Gees song
The only bad thing about this song is it's not long enough..
My top three: 3. Mood Blues, 2. Bee Gees, 3. Partridge Family
you are correct. they do not get the respect and acclaim they deserve.
"Lonely Days"
There is a song from 1980 i guess from Smokie called "Run Ro Me". Maybe it's this one. Greetings
They just take you to another place!!
How awesome were these guys??
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_to_Me_(Bee_Gees_song)
Andy Williams did a cover of this song-- Barry's album "Greenfields" has Brandi Carlisle singing with Barry--
No other group harmonizes like the BeeGees
Covers by Johnny Mathis, Sarah Vaughn, Ray Coniff, Jerry Vale, Wayne Newton, Marie Osmond approximately covered by others artists over 40 times.
I think many people have covered this song, but most notably Barry Manilow and Dionne Warwick did it as a duet, and Marie Osmond covered it on her album This is the Way That I Feel, with all of her brothers singing back up, which actually sounds pretty cool.

The Gibb brothers go back to the mid 60s, but Run To Me was written and recorded by them in 1972.
This is earlier in their career, before falsetto and disco. Many wonderful songs.
Boxer Oscar De La Hoya covered this song back in 2000, 2001. He sang it in Spanish and I believe there’s an English version also.
This was their lead single from the album, To Whom it May Concern, in 1972. Barry sings the lead, while Maurice sings in a low key with Robin in the chorus which is barely audible. Stunning beautiful harmonies that blend into the most powerful burst of heaven. Outstanding

My pleasure Mary and thank you too! 👍👍👍
Robin takes the lead in the first part of the Chorus.. 'Run to Me...... '
I always think of this as a Robin song, though it's more obvious on live versions.
I'm glad you said the album name. I knew I had it as a teen but disremembered the name. It certainly got me singing this early morning! Hail from Alberta born and raised!
@MyOwnDrum Good Morning. Glad to help. At 70 my mind still shocks me when I remember something. Lol Hope you have a great day. 👍✌️🎶😊🇨🇦
I just bought a tee shirt that Barry Gibb is selling for charity. It is autographed and is printed with 64 years of music by The Bee Gees.
Wow how cool! Wonder if there's any more tee shirts left?😁
The Bee Gees are only second in history to Paul McCartney in volume of sales of allbums/singles/music sold 😎 So you are 100% correct!
Magnifique!!! The only thing I heard is" I wanna run to you" by Whitney Houston from the film The Bodyguard
They are awesome! Songwriters beautiful harmony, so sad that Barry is the only one left.
From what I have seen they are very underrated. A lot of people take them as a joke, not taking them seriously.

@@michaelparsons5299 it’s obvious you don’t know anything about their history. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree with everything you said. Been thinking the same for...well, ever.
I looked and there have been a few covers of this song Dionne Warwick and Barry Manilow in 85!
Loved what you said about them being top song writers,etc.! So agree!
Jerry Vale did the song also in 1972. Also Barry did the song with Brandi Carlile.
Barry Manilow and Dionne Warwick made a duet cover of this maybe that is the one you heard.
Their earlier works are my favorites.
Love this song! Their early songs were great. I only know this version.
Hello Robins is one of the strongest voices in the chorus , they are all so brilliant , it saddens me that Maurice and Robin are no longer here , they were just adding Andy to the group when he died , I heard Barry say he would give it all up just to have them all back , at the end of the day family are the most lmportant people in most peoples lives ❤️🏴

On Barry Gibb’s most recent album, “Greenfields”he does this song as a duet with Brandi Carlile … it’s gorgeous
This is a masterpiece!
It was a huge hit for them!
And Barry Gibb is second only to Paul Mc Cartney.
You heard THEM singing it. It was a huge hit.
Raul Malo from the Mavericks does a beautiful cover.
I love this song and thanks so much for sharing it.
They are NO Joke!!!!
"To Love Somebody" is one by them that had a lot of cover versions.
They are brilliant!
Amazing Voices Amazing Song Amazing Bee Gees.

@@dp3396 both. The label annoyed them big time. Especially since they were blacklisted Especially in America because of it.

It might have been Andy Williams…on his TV show. Please check out Nothing Could Be Good….a smooth fantastic performance.
This song is a true work of art and it has a timeless golden sound much like a Bert Bacharach song.
This song was covered by; Dionne Warwick and Barry Manilow, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, Oscar De La Hoya, Lee Towers and Anita Meyer, Moulin Rouge, Gheorghe Zamfir, Fausto Papetti, Bliss, Flower, Barry Gibb and Brandi Carlile, Spencer Gibb and 54 Seconds, Pas De Printemps Pour Marnie, Material Issue, Sarah Vaughan, John Tabacco, Johnny Mathis, Tino Reyes Trio, Brenda Lee, Gail Blanco, 8 Bit Arcade, Willie en De Billies and Coke Belda feat.

Their earlier albums are amazingly good, and there are dozens and dozens that are wonderful before you get to the mid seventies, where their music changed so radically.
Thank you for your reaction
100%
Thank you Harri. The BeeGees have gotten what they deserve, even when people in the music industry doubted them .
You really need to react to the BeeGees songs: Fanny Be Tender With My Love and The Only Love. Wonderful songs that you will love.
Susana Hoffs (Bangles) and Matthew Sweet do a nice cover of this on an album called "Under the Covers" (its all covers, and most are very good).
Johnny Mathis did a cover of this song ❤
They started singing in 1967.
Thanks, Harri - you must hear Robin in there, right?? (I think live was more Robin)
This is a Bee Gees song. They certainly weren't underrated for me but were given the short end of the stick. I think they are the best group ever and I love them so much. They are performers, singers, song writers and wonderful. Lots of their music was covered by others so maybe you have heard that. Thanks Harri
I just love this song, it is the summertime of my youthful memories. The harmonies of the brothers Gibb have no equal.
Their harmonies never cease to amaze me! Just gorgeous!
This is one of my favourite Bee Gees songs.
Love the fact that you love, appreciate and respect the Bee Gees as much as I do! Great reaction as always HarriThere are so many artists that covered this song so I'm not sure which version is sounding familiar to you! Love from Texas!!!
They wrote all their songs - there's a reason they're in the Songwriters Hall of Fame! Hit after hit across 4 decades. Check out the "Still Waters" album!

Where the heck is the mainstream music talent today???????
People enjoy this, so, why is no one doing similar? I know there's talent out there.
Check out Ricky scaggs with Barry at the grand ole Opry. You will cry.
Have you seen the most recent video of their song “Alone”. If you haven’t you really should. It begins in black and white, I think. 🤔
It's my opinion too, friend!

Much later, after their extreme success in the 1970s and early '80s, they were to incur a more savage and career-damaging wrath when for years DJs refused to play their records and professional sports teams held "Disco Record Burning Parties" on the athletic fields.
Barry Gibb is the #2 hit songwriter behind Paul McCartney. The great session drummer, Clem Cattini (Clemente Anselmo Agustino Cattini), who, as a member of the Tornados, drummed on Joe Meek's 1962 composition and production of the worldwide hit, "Telstar," is on the skins here. Listen to his syncopated roll at 4:16. Just lovely work; precisely what the climax of the song called for. He, the Gibbs, and many regulars of the Bee Gees recording and touring personnel, are depicted in the novelty pop-up gatefold album jacket on which "Run to Me" appears, the lp, "To Whom it May Concern."
Saw this!!! Been wanting to hear this! Haven’t heard it in years! Thank you thank you!! 😊🎶
This was absolutely my favourite beebgeea song when I was a little girl. Still a marvellous song.
I have so many favorites, I adore them, but this song is on my short list of favorites. It’s beautiful, one of their best, and ironically came out during the period when they were struggling with record sales.
Harri, would you please consider reacting to their medley from the 1989 Melbourne "One for All" concert. They do bits of many of their hits plus those they wrote for people like Streisand, Warwick, Rogers/Parton, Diana Ross, Celine Dion. Are they underappreciated? YESYESYESYES! Three distinct voices. All great songwriters. They are rated among the top 5 groups for sales and as composers of all time (up there with Lennon/McCartney, Elton/Bernie, &c.) and would have been even higher if not blacklisted due to the disco backlash which was simply a blip on their radar. My favorite voice was Robin's with his amazing natural vibrato. Barry starts the song, then Robin comes in with "Run to me", then Maurice joins for the third harmony.

That medley is amazing! I think that tour, their voices were at their best.
React to beegees the only love ❤
Those meatheads in the hall of fame, should honor this mans career with a tribute while he's still with us instead of co tinually 😮watering down their product
One of my favorites from The Bee Gees. Susanna Hoffa and Matthew Sweet also covered this beautiful ballad.
Love this song! It hardly gets any play time, Robin is featured on, Run to ME lyrics.
Great song, great reaction. The Bee Gees are one of the absolute best singer/songwriters ever and I do believe they are totally underrated. Thank you for reacting to such a classic anthem of them
This is, along with Broken Heart and Words, my favorite 3 Bee Gees tunes, but their song catalog is sooo huge there are many more I love. But for emotional reasons, those 3 stand out. Bee Gees are without a doubt one of the greatest song writing teams ever, along with the amazing harmonies, they stand along my angel Karen C. as my two favorite singer/singers of my generation. I have other ones I adore, like Linda R., but the Gibbs and Ms. Carpenter stand out.
Hair, I think The Bee Gees were the original singers of Run to Me. I don’t remember anyone else performing this song. I do believe it was their song, and they of course, were the best!!
It was their song, but a lot of groups sang their songs - a total tribute to them.
Yes, it was written and recorded by the BEE GEES in 1972
