I'm a metalhead through and through. I'll drop everyone to listen to the Brothers Gibb. I wish Andy made better choices in life.

How many others here watch for Fil’s smiles when he hears or sees things in artists’ performances that float his boat… and then you smile, too? I know I do! Thanks for more reasons to smile every day, Fil! 😃

Andy's voice was softer and sweeter. He had the ability to be a soloist and did great! On Solid Gold you can see that he could sing any song that was given to him! A very precious young man! 💙

Andy Gibb....he was great! Back when musicians played live.

Barry doted on Andy and you can tell Barry guided Andy in his singing and playing. I'm sure Barry picked the musicians and made sure they complimented Andy in his performing and with background vocals. Not taking one thing from Andy as I loved his music from 1977 and his time on "Solid Gold." Andy was a great talent and was fortunate to have a loving brother like Barry helping him.

Barry has said that him and Andy were as much of twins as Robin and Maurice were all except the age difference. They even had the same birth mark. Andy was Barry’s mini-me! All 4 brothers were so talented!!!! No one can match them!!!! RIP Andy, Maurice, and Robin!!!! He was supposed to join his brothers before he passed. They were excited about it. Thank you for doin this video! Now we just need the last (most underrated) brother, Maurice!!!

Every Gibb guy were born with unique voices. Robin s voice also sound like bells .

I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager! I was 13 years old when this came out. Loved his voice and always loved The Bee Gees. So tragic how his life ended. 💔

The contribution this one family made to music is simply astonishing! Great analysis, Fil!

Thank you for this, Andy was a personal friend and I miss him dearly, you can’t ‘feel’ his voice like I have in RL, his brothers were his hero’s and he was to join with them but that wasn’t meant to be, just amazing to see you remember him.

I ADORED ALL OF THEM...together and individually. ENORMOUS talent in this family. RIP Andy, Robin and Maurice. What a terrible loss. 🙏🏻😢💔❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fil's smile is so cute. It's nice to see someone who genuinely loves what he does. Love the way he nods and moves his head from side to side, listening to the music while smiling.

I'm surprised that Andy sounded so much like Barry considering that Maurice and Robin are fraternal twins. I believe I once commented on a BeeGees video asking about the odds that the talent could actually be genetic. Thank you for doing this video. Andy's talent is so often overlooked. Rest in Paradise to all the brothers lost. What incredible, talented singers!

The Midnight Special had some of the greatest performers on at the time. Such a talented singer. It came as such a shock hearing about his demise.

The Gibb brothers were so talented!!! 👍

It’s such a pity that this kid never believed we iced just how good he was. He was every bit as talented as his brothers. And yes, he was Barry’s mini me as far as vocals go. To bad we never got to see him blossom in his writing and composing too. Those brothers were lightning in a bottle and Andy was what you call “a force multiplier.”

I wish he was still alive. He was so bright in my opinion and talented .

I read that Barry finished a couple songs on Andy's last album after Andy died, because he could imitate his voice so well.

I don't recall a better song being played at Skate World back in the day. The breakdown was phenomenal.

Can't go wrong with the Gibb's brothers. sad Andy died at age 30, thanks for another enjoyable analysis on the Gibb's brothers.

The Midnight Special insisted that the musicians perform totally live on the show. In the studio version Barry sang back up for Andy. I have always thought that Andy sounded so much like Barry, but when you isolated Andy’s voice - wow! He really sounds like Barry. What an extraordinarily talented family.

OMG, Fil, so glad I caught this! (love you so much, BTW!) I MET ANDY GIBB! It was probably about 5 years after this recording, I think 1982-ish. I had driven from VT with my sister and best friend to have a long weekend tearing it up in Toronto where we have family. We spent the afternoon at Toronto Island, taking the ferry over. During lunch, our waiter said to us, very sneakily, that Andy Gibb is having lunch here too!!! Over There!! As fate would have it, Andy was directly in front of us as we queued up for the return ferry, and the three of us spent the whole ferry trip back to Toronto talking to him. Damn, he was a cutie pie. I was shocked when he died several years later. I think he was the first "famous personage" that I ever met. Thanks for reviving an ancient memory!! Je t'adore! Take care!

Apparently he and Barry even had the same birthmarks. The Gibbs basically had 2 sets of twins in the family. Great voice, great performance, great analysis! Cheers x

I vividly remember seeing this live. I was 15, spending the night at my best friend's, watching The Midnight Special at a reasonable volume in the dark, and we thought Andy was SO cute. 😍

I agree about the vocal similarities between Andy & Barry. I'm also pretty sure Barry sang backing vocals on the recorded version of this song as well as several other songs of Andy's that they wrote together. However, I feel like I'm able to sing along with Andy's falsetto easier than with Barry's. The one exception I've found is Andy's version of (Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away toward the end of the song. Such a beautiful voice & amazingly talented! So sad that he was so troubled with handling his fame and even more so being compared to his older brothers. He never seemed to be able to find true joy in his life before it ended so tragically early. Kind of eerie to think I've already lived two years longer than he did. So thankful my mom influenced me with the Bee Gees & Andy's music when I was growing up. Favorite FAMILY of artists including many of the next generation of Gibb that I hope to see featured on here one day! 🤘

This song influenced my whole idea of romance. Hall and Oates and Seals and Croft as well. Hopeless romantic here. Vocally, it's amazing how genetics works. I'm privileged to be a 70s kid

Yes, Similarities between Andy and Barry are uncanny. Robin had that beautiful Vibrato in his voice, Barry and Andy had that falsetto as well as the vibrato. When Robin sang I started a Joke, it’s just so beautifully done, and the emotion in his voice was so powerful. They were ALL GREAT!!!!!

This is crazy, I just showed my 25 year old son, Andy Gibb today and here he is on Wings. He had the world by the jewels. Just horrible to think if he got sick a few years later, he’d probably be alive today, along with a lot of other people.

Awesome live performance! I want to also acknowledge how young he was in this performance. I believe he was around 19 years old. I remember the first time I heard him on the radio , singing this song . I literally just stopped and listened to him . Instant fan ❤

Andy had all their voices all in one he could go high and low i wish he was still with us 😢

This performance is magic! My favorite performer always and forever- his songwriting on Flowing Rivers is underrated.

Joe Walsh played lead guitar on the studio cut

I still after all these years can't hardly process that his magnificent vocal talent was snuffed out at such and unbelievable early age. It's so horrific. I enjoyed his singing as much as the brothers Gibb. What a waste to be deprived of what would probably still happening today had he lived. I'm still in sorrow for life being cut so short

I love everything about this song. I think it is among the finest crafted pop songs ever made. His voice does remind me of Barry’s quite a bit. Barry seems more powerful, when he wants to be. Andy does sound fantastic though.

Andy Gibb was amazing. I really wish he could have had believed in himself like his family did and all of us who loved his music 🎶 RIP

When I was 16 I saw Andy Gibb in concert in the late 70s. He sounded great and was very engaging and personable with the audience. I was in love with him, his voice, and his songs. Such a tragedy that he left the world so young. Thanks for this analysis, Fil.

Love it...the Brothers Gibb are truly a guilty pleasure of mine. Andy really did favor Barry in looks and sound. Sad that he was so young when he passed- we didn't get to see more of his talents and what type of music he would have gone on to do.

amazing how young he was in this performance.. RIP Andy.

Wow Fill!!! I never expected this analysis. What I love about you is your diversity. There’s something for everyone to enjoy here. So many wonderful wonderful commentaries and breakdowns. I do so enjoy your channel. Thank you Fil! ❤️ I did love the Brothers Gibb!!!!!! Andy’s passing was truly a very sad tragedy. But the Bee Gee’s had some fantastic songs, and then when Andy started, his career was really just taking off!!! So sad!!!

So much talent in that Gibbs family.So polite,and kind,too.

Thanks for this analysis of Andy, Fil! He truly was Barry's "mini-me". Shared! Perhaps an analysis of Mo singing Man in the Middle or Hold Her In Your Hand would be good ones to do since they're highlighting his singing. This was wonderful.

This takes me back to my high school days. I loved the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb.

Loved Andy Gibb! That voice and those songs he recorded were soooooo beautiful!!! I also always enjoyed watching him perform with his brothers. Gone way too soon!!! I remember hearing when his death was announced that he was supposed to have been going back into the recording studio to work on new music. That made Andy's death even more heartbreaking.

Fil, thanks for adding Andy to the Gibb brothers analysis. I agree with another post that you should listen to Maurice’s “Man in the Middle.”

So weird! I was talking about him just over the weekend.

Fil you are a major distraction 😃 can't focus on Andy for keeping my 👀 on you waiting for your beautiful smile that makes me smile!😃❤

Maurice singing Where Are You from 1966 would be great for analysis. He had a wonderful richness for quite a young (16) voice. His best was usually the high harmonies in songs such as Nights on Broadway. He was never showcased properly and had so much untapped Vocal talent, let alone his prowess with instruments. Love some of his bass lines.

Andy was a large part of the sound of my childhood in the 70’s. I don’t think anyone was bigger than the BeeGees/ Andy Gibb in my bklyn neighborhood.

Such a gifted family. Think of all the music that could have been made. Thanks Fil.

He sounds just like his brother Barry. I love their voices. They all sound different. But when they sung together it is almost magical!

Taking nothing away from the incredible talent of Andy Gibb, I think Barry was the musical genius and songwriter in the family and even controlled how the melodies and harmonies were phrased !

I think it might be cool to see how Mo would sing as the way they harmonized was unique. Robin had the highest natural voice with exception of Andy. Barry felt Andy was his “twin”

I love to see Fil’s smile break in. His smile is just like Andy’s. Beautiful!❤❤❤

Barry was a master song writer, his lyrics were always so honest and vulnerable.

One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) Please react to Diana Ankudinova ! Meet the singer with the most unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones), reactors call her the goosebump queen. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice." (Wikipedia about Diana) Full vocal range - 4 octaves. The number of reactions to Diana exceeded the number of 12 thousand reactions. In my playlist section there are 3 playlists (5k+5k+2k reactions each).

I loved Andy Gibb and the midnight special.

I'm loving this channel with all the artists I've loved and artists I forgot I loved! Just excellent content, thank you 😊

I saw Andy in concert. He was so hot!

Love Brothers Gibb ❤🎤🎵🎶🎵🎧🤗

I have both of his albums. Got them right after they came out.

One of my absolute favorites. The Gibbs were outstanding without match! Thank you. Fil, for breaking this down! You do an amazingly stellar job!😮

I believe that Andy Gibb sounds so very much like his brother, Barry! Great Analysis of Andy!!

I’m 58 he still hits my heart rip Andy ❤️

love me some Andy Gibb and all of the Gibb brothers:) Mega Talented

Wow! If you squint your eyes or ears slightly, you can hear Barry. Great video Fil. Thank you

Dear Fil , I love your analysis! You are the most polite and friendly person on KZfaq. I also love your album you sent me once. I do a lot of sport after work. Few months ago I started new activity, running (now I am doing 10k). When I started running 5k, I was always listening to your album. It gave me the power and joy. Thank you so much. Once you organise your concert, let me know please. Cheers from London!

Thank you so much Fil , if you look up ' Bee Gees 'Words' on The Ed Sullivan Show' on KZfaq, Barry looks like he could be Andy's twin , so gorgeous, Andy left this world way too soon ❤️

Andy Gibb was blessed by God with unusual gifts. He was much like Barry in some ways. I, personally, miss his sweet soul!

Always loved this song off the radio! Even though I grew up listening to him & the BGs on the radio, I really never appreciated them until KZfaq came along. I've found some more acoustic/live versions and realized wow, they really could SING! I think because they came around during the disco era, they weren't often taken seriously. But they were genuinely talented.

My favourite Andy Gibb song, but you can't escape that it was written by his older brother who he also sounds just like. A blessing, that may have felt like a curse, its such a shame, it feeds in to insecurity and substance abuse. Its hard x

Brilliant wow wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤ still bring tears to my eye 😢 losing him ❤

beautiful english, you are nice with the audience. Your language it's clear , like a teacher.

Mo sang high vocals or low..amazing luved Mo's voice so much. Robin's high vocal almost falsetto, it perfection ..

Andy Gibb was a great singer back in the day loved his voice and his songs and music love that song throw it all away our love don't throw it all away of course I like the beegees a lot better sucks what happened to Andy Gibb he was great live great vocals live the beegees were great as well also great live still like the beegees better but Andy Gibb was great as well

Hi Fil, I totally agree with your sentiments regarding Barry & Andy's voice being similar. I have always thought this. Just by looking @ Barry & Andy, you can tell that they are brothers. Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.

The brothers’ dad died of a broken heart shortly after Andy died.

Sir Barry Gibb always have said that Andy and himself was like twins and I have to agree. That Andy play guitar like Barry is kinda natural, it was Barry that bought Andy’s first guitar and teaching him to play 😊 Barry was very protective about Andy.

I got to see Andy about the same time this was recorded. Lots of fun for a teenager!

You're right; Andy was incredibly talented, like his brothers. They all had an innate sense of timing and pitch. I've always thought that (thanks to Barry's clever way of wrapping lyrics around music) this was quite a difficult song to breathe through, which makes his live performance all the more admirable. And he was only 19. So sad that a lack of confidence and drug abuse killed him in the end.

Andy's voice was so much like Barry's even the high notes. He was such a great talent and one great looking dude...

Fantastic reaction. So interesting, thankyou

Thanks for featuring Andy. He was so talented and gone much too soon.

Awesome as always... thank you Fil for your amazing choice and analysis.

This really takes me back to those days. Andy was as talented as his brothers and had a great personality . Sad he died so young. Thanks Fil

I loved this song when it came out. These are great memories for me. With the Bee Gees singing backup on the record, Andy's performance here without them, still uses the same chest voice/ falsetto voice, transition.

A truly incredible choice of artist to check out ... Andy is largely unknown member of the Gibb family because of the gargantuan success of the Bee Gees. There's a fantastic video here on KZfaq of Andy, Olivia Newton John and, Abba performing live together. This guy was the real deal and it's a terrible shame he left us so soon. Thanks Fil 💙👊🏼

Another gifted guy from the Gibb family and interesting similarity of those two voices. If you are curious, try a look to both versions of 'Morning of my Life', Barry's early version and the video on the beach from Andy, the slightly difference in their voices is astonishing. Great reaction thank you!!!!

Huge teenage crush for me, Andy had it all, looks and voice, just wonderful! 💕

Always spot on! What a great analysis! Andy left us way too early!

Enjoy watching you. You have the most gorgeous smile. Keep up the great work!

Fil, great job. It was sad he died so young. 👍❤🥰✌

The Gibb brothers definitely had the talent in their voices. If you would like to do one on Maurice, there are several live performances of "Man in the Middle" here on KZfaq that would be perfect for analysis. I suspect that even though Maurice's voice was definitely baritone vs. the tenor voices of his brothers, you will see his voice was just as accurate as theirs. I think it would be really neat for you to compare the different voices of other families as well. Some suggestions would the The Osmonds and The Jacksons. What would be unique with both of those families to the Gibb family, would be that those two families have sisters voices to add into the mix. For Donny, I would love to see an analysis of "Close Every Door".

My friend and I had such a crush on Andy Gibb, even saw him in concert. Great voice and such a tragic turn his life took. Still love him.

Miss this guy..Andy+Bee Gees...siblings

Love those Gibbs !

I completely forgot about the software and everything else for a while just seeing him perform. So much tragedy in the music business. I would have liked to see him continue to grow and make music.

A spectacular talent. Dearly missed.

I love Fil smile. He cracks me up!😂

I remember when this song came out….!! 🦋

Thank you for doing this. The brothers were very often ridiculed (I was a teenager in those days), and I welcome your acknowledgment of their talent. Barry Manilow was also in that category, as was John Denver. And may I say that there are a lot of people putting out videos proclaiming their "expertise"? Some are so transparently ignorant. But you? OMG, thank you for being authentic, REALLY loving music, and well...showing how music makes a difference. We need more of that!
