You couldn't describe them better

Listen to YOU SHOULD BE DANCING - vocals only. (Available on you tube) They very clearly are singing the horn parts. They (mostly Barry) would sing the parts for the instruments to be laid on top of, but you can still hear the vocals underneath. Even Words and Jive Talkin have what could have been replaced by instruments. One of Barry’s Demos for Guilty has vocals for guitar, and on one, he sang the drum part to the drummer in the studio. Vocalizing what he heard in his head. They were influenced by the Mills Brothers who were known for vocalizing instruments. Watch Alexander’s Rag Time Band, either when kids, or for The Midnight Special:))

He died of myocarditis.

Dam. Could you imagine the Bee Gees with four brothers holy smokes. I don’t know how they could’ve gotten any better with the three but who knows?

The end of ‘87 Andy moved permanently to Miami to begin working on his new album. Barry always said how much better he did when away from the LA scene & with them. The brothers then announced shortly after the first of ‘88 that sometime that year Andy would be joining them as the 4th Bee Gee. Sadly as we all know, 5 days after his 30th birthday they lost their younger brother.

Andy was living with Robin in London when he passed away.

I think Andy joining the Bee Gees probably would’ve been a mistake.

Awesome :)

@@HAP3SPEAKZBack to has this beat been sampled somewhere....I recall hearing Snoop Dogg stole it from the Bee Gees.👍

Thanks for the info!

​@HAP3SPEAKZ listening to this song again with you & your channel. You picked out a couple of the best lines in this song - too many lovers/ heartbreaks in one lifetime ain't good for you/ me. And in the age of "free love" - the 60s and 70s, pre-AIDS, that was NOT the preached message of yhe times. Their words were wiser than the culture around them. Onto more of your reactions!❤ For more great funky great disco dance music please react to Nights on Broadway (midnight special live performance) , Wind of Change ( both are 1975) and Reaching Out - - also a great R& B song! Love your reactions!❤

Glad you enjoyed it

That’s an insult to The Bee Gees..😮

FEIST :-) I love Leslie FEIST's tone of voice and her cover can be found on her album (2003) titled "Let it die". I bought it the same year.

In the documentary it is said that all the brothers had issues with drugs of some sort and his brothers suffered the same thing when they became famous in the late 60s.i think that is why his brothers tried so hard to help him, they knew what he was going through.

Andy was every bit as good & there are plenty of live clips to show it--Midnight Special live version of I Just Want To Be Your Everything, tons of duets with everyone & Andy singing Words on an awards show, maybe the Grammys--does it as well as Barry & looks like him with a beard....what planet you on?!

@@robinfry4408 - Hi Robin. I'm on planet earth. You might note, before getting your knickers in a twist, I said "JUST MY OPINION". I stand by it. In order of vocal ability I put from best to less, Robin, Barry, Andy, Maurice. Andy had a lovely voice but not the same power or volume. JUST MY OPINION. OK? You are entitled to yours as I am to mine without the lectures and insults directed my way. I also found Barry's "whispered" voice and overused falsetto annoying. That' s why I don't put him as #1. It put me off the Bee Gees for a couple of years as it did to many. The falsetto was great in some songs and popular for a while but was overused and actually almost destroyed their career after the "disco" era. They could get airplay to save their lives. I loved his "natural" voice. Very bluesy, storng and great for pop music, R&B. Robin's was soulful, also good for R&B and his vibrato great for ballads. Barry himself said "Robin's voice is KILLER" and "Nobody sings like Robin". HIS words, not mine. Maurice said "Robin's voice reached in and grabbed your heart". Again, HIS words, not mine. Maurice was an amazing musician and harmonizer whose voice was excellent for country. I liked them all. Who looks like whom is irrelevant to vocal ability. Someone can look like a hedgehog and have a beautiful voice. Actually hedgehogs are quite cute. If you look at some solo performances of Robin's in the 80's, with blond hair, although skinnier, Andy also looks a lot like him in some of those. Who cares? I am the same age as the twins and grew up with the Bee Gees music. How long have you followed their career, 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997? I guarantee I have seen all the performances necessary to form MY opinion, to which I am entitled. Now, relax. Andy was good but IN MY OPINION, basically a heart throb with a good voice, just not quite as capable as his brothers who also had natural talent and evolved over decades. Ciao.

@@susieq9801 - In my opinion… Some folks just want to hear their own opinion repeated. I enjoy hearing differing views and opinions. With you on most of what you say, but OMG! Barry! He’s the man! He’s the one who had the dream and took it all the way, carrying his twin brothers with him. Yeah, the “disco” era - They were crucified for being the best of the best! Has any other performer or group experienced that?! Simply love Barry’s unique ability to sing any genre with the added talent to make anyone he sings with sound incredible. Barbara Streisand was and is certainly an icon, but she definitely got back in the spotlight with the “Guilty” album created for her by Barry and the brothers. Robin! Wow, just wow! But his voice can be too soulful and emotional at times. Love that guy and he certainly added his magic to the trio. Maurice was the unsung hero and he knew and accepted that. He was taken from us way to soon. He was the glue that made it all work behind the scenes. As for Andy… A talent gone too soon as well. Don’t think he was as good as Barry, Robin or Maurice. He had the benefit of his brothers helping him, but even with that, he was unable to grasp the golden ring and his insecurities destroyed him. Let me repeat… This is my humble opinion and I hope others enjoy my view as much as I enjoy theirs. All in all: The Bee Gees are simply the best of the best… In my humble opinion! 😂🥰

From what I have heard his brothers tried very hard to help Andy but the problem with addiction is that you have to want to beat it and it's not easy. Also sadly most drug users even when they get clean still suffer lifelong effects from their drug use resulting in many various health problems.
