Lordy, we roller bladed to the Bee Gees in my teenage years, in our little cute suits....it was so much fun....HOORAY for the 70's....we had the Bee Gees, Elvis, Eagles, John Denver, and so many more

The best music of all time.

Back then there was a dance called the hustle and that is what a lot of people danced to their music

You can never go wrong with the Bee Gee's.. not possible.

They never considered themselves disco. They cut these albums in Miami and were part of the Miami Sound. Disco was tossed out there by corporate executives for commercial purposes. They resented it and had every right to.

Jive Talken' she's a banger. Thanks again!

I was in primary school when these songs came out and remember many afternoons rollerskating to this and many other disco & musicals tunes in my friend’s garage 😆 - good times! My cousins were a few years older than me and one looked & dressed just like Barry, to this day he still has that vibe!

“Nights on Broadway” by BGs. My favorite. All filmed on Miami Beach. That’s where they all lived for many, many years. After Miami Beach, they moved to Key Biscayne. My husband interviewed Robin Gibb after their brother, Andy, passed.

Fantastic movie. I’ve watched it numerous times

The movie is worth watching for sure.

That’s because it was the Hustle, a dance that requires 2 dancers

Barry started writing their own songs since he was 9 years old. He remembers that the name of his first song was called Turtledove and he says he doesn’t remember the words. They started singing in public when Barry was 9 and Robin and Maurice were 6. They said they would stand in street corners and just sing. They went to a car race tract and asked if they could sing and they were told they could sing at halftime but they couldn’t pay them, but they didn’t care, they just wanted to sing to people. They did get money for singing because people would throw money at the race track they would pick it up. They said they got about $5.00 the first time, to them it was a lot at that age. Barry continued writing songs and eventually Robin started writing with him and then Maurice also joined them. Barry would write songs for other Australian artists and when he was 17 he won the best songwriter of the year. Barry’s dad said that another songwriter asked him how Barry being so young could write love songs that were so deep. The way they write is one of them gets an idea, and takes it to the others and they start building on it. They first write the music and then make the words fit into the music without deviating from the melody. They get to the point we’re the three can hear the complete song in their heads and then they go into the recording studio. None of the three know how to read or write music yet they were able to write 1000+ songs. Please react to You win again from 1987. Thank you.

John Travolta was only known for being on a sitcom. Saturday Night Fever made him a star when the movie became a sleeper hit, a cultural phenomenon,and gave him an Oscar nomination as best actor. The Bee Gees had been around for a long time and had platnum records already. Their music was one of the draws of the movie. In interviews they were always very clear that they did not look at what was popular in music, they wrote what they wanted to hear and were interested in doing new things, not what was already being done. One of them would come up with the beginning of a musical idea, and take it to the others. They would figure out the music, then start putting words to it. The inspiration could come from anywhere. Barry likes to use the example of a song that started because of the sound and rhythm the car made when they went over a certain bridge every day. They all agree that their songs that were used on Saturday Night Fever were not written for the movie, they were supposed to be for their next album. They were also not writing disco songs. They did not know what the movie was going to be about, or that they would be blamed for the popularity and explosion of Disco as a type of dance music. They never set out to write Disco music and if you listen to Disco records that came out afterwards, there are commonalities that the Bee Gees never used. They were vilified and made fun of for being too popular. It really bothered them and they stopped recording for a while and just wrote hits for other people and did other projects together and separately. Then they came back and made a bunch more albums. They really were incredibly talented.

And the music came from above

You’ll love “Love You Inside Out” too!

How they wrote and produced the music is explained on their December 2020 documentary “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” on HBO Max.

That disco dance move you referred to when you point your finger up and down diagonally was a move John Travolta did in the movie Saturday Night Fever

The movie is great. I watch it all the time!

this song was a MEGA smash! the bee gees as songwriters had five songs in the top ten all at the same time at one point during the fever craze, and also had 6 consecutive number one hits - these achievements are only mirrored by the beatles, talk about impressive! you’re a great reactor, im loving your bee gees context and cant wait for more!

This was filmed on Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Grew up there. Recognize all the restaurants and hotels

Jive Talkin was a great one also!

They are all great! You can't go wrong with them! Watch Fanny be tender with my love. It's an older song but amazing! QUINCY JONES said it was one of the best R&B he had ever heard. If you want to know , watch the making of tragedy, it's awesome

Yes, Disco and Bee Gees were hand and hand. So many memories. Thank God they continued.

“Love you inside and out” is another 1# 70’s hit - has an R&b groove with them trade mark harmonies.

It was almost the swing dance from the early 60sits from Saturday night fever the movie

Video is driving around Brooklyn, NY which is where Saturday Night Fever movie takes place

Robin started the group and a lot of their early sons were solos by him, then when they sang Nights on Broadway, Barry discovered he could sing in ultra high falsetto and most of the songs after that featured Barry. Robin got pissed and quit for awhile but later returned to the group!!!

Now I’m in the mood to watch Saturday Night Fever. Haven’t watched it in years, feel like dancing 💃 🕺, 😂

I love your reactions videos with the Bee Gee's. You are discovering something I have known since I was 11 or 12, I am 57 now. The 70"s are my favorite decade of music. They were HOT. They remained so good up through the decades into the 90"s. They were something special. The death of Maurice in 2003 ripped the wind out their sails for good then the death of Robin in 2012. From what I understand they could write songs together or individually and they'd be hits and for other people too. EXTREMELY talented men.

Damn you had me dancing💃🕺 and I was sitting in traffic court! 😂Love your reactions my friend! 💯❤️👨‍🎤👨‍🎤👨‍🎤🎙️🔥🫶

Tragedy.. You will love it

#1 for eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100!!!! Barry always considered these songs as R&B as opposed to disco, but there's no denying that this was a major disco hit!!!

You will go crazy with Fanny Be Tender. I think it is One of their most amazing songs!! Watch the video. It will blow your mind trying to figure out who is singing which part. You might like it more than a You Should Be Dancing. Check it out!

I heard an interview they said the songs wrote themselved

Listen to You Win Again and Bodyguard.

It’s not better than you should be dancing but it’s still a great tune! You’re adorable 🥰

If you want to see them in a recording studio setting, please react to (Bee Gees recording "Tradgedy" in Criteria Studios. Not only are they great vocalists, they're multi talented playing instruments as well.

Songwriting... They liked echo, so staircases, public toilets, etc. Barry’s brain just hears music differently, and management encouraged him to listen to US radio stations to get in touch with what was happening in the US. They liked to write in the studio and record while the inspiration was fresh - this was mostly done in the 60’s. Some songs (and many of their hits) were said to be what Barry called “instant songs,” With the slightest inspiration, a song could be written in minutes - even as young as 15 or 16yo. JIVE TALKIN was inspired by the rhythm the tires made crossing a bridge every day on the way to and from the studio. Many in the studio with them in the 70’s said they warmed up with humor. Famed producer George Martin said during Sgt. Pepper sessions, they would be laughing and joking around, and then just snap to attention and sing when he was ready for them - very funny and super professional. He would say he have what he needed, but they would think they could do better, and would sing the entire song through again, all on 1 mic, which is only possible with true vocal talent. A band-member said they liked the high ceilinged entryway at the Miami mansion management had rented for the whole band because the sound bounced off the marble giving an echo. He said he stood around the corner out of sight. They would be joking and laughing doing an impromptu comedy routine, and the next thing you knew, a song would just come out of nowhere. Keyboardist Blue Weaver cures a couple of times that he was sitting alone trying to pick out something, and Barry cane in, said keep going, sat down and wrote a song - and gave him writing credits! He tears up when he talks about the beauty of being a part of a song being birthed... especially How Deep Is Your Love. By the 80’s, Barry had tape recorders handy to capture songs, most of which remained unfinished. There’s no one formula, but Barry recently said that he likes to write in a team. His 2 eldest sons were his team for his 2016 album called IN THE NOW, and there is a great interview about working together, and about songwriting in general. When asked in 1987 about their comeback hit, YOU WIN AGAIN, Barry said he heard a bit of it in his sleep, woke up, called Mo to make sure he was home, and recorded the stomp track in Mo’s home studio stomping on what they found laying around. Please react to it. You might also like to watch the video about the recording of TRAGEDY, where they talk about their writing and recording.

That 1:16 face change is exactly what my face makes when I'm on a party and Night Fever blasts off the speakers

great bee gees reactions....love it! Can you check out "One" 1980s top 10 billboard chart....keep up the great reactions.

You gotta do "Fanny Be Tender" next.

Skateland _couple's skate_ 🎶🌌🌈🛼🛼🔮🕺💖🤩🎇

Check out a different type of song “I started a joke “featuring Robin’s voice when you get the chance…they’re all great

Check out the gibb collective. It has Barry in it but also songs with his kids and nieces and nephews. Really good songs

Patty-I believe Barry said that he and Robin wrote a good part of the music. They all three wrote together as well as pairing off too.

The Bee Gees are so awesome. The more you listen the more you will love them so smooth...great reaction! I appreciate you!!!

They were known to change up their sound and style... They had 5 new songs for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, plus 2 that would be released as covers by other artists. They made promo videos for their 3, but when management saw them, he told Barry to regrow his beard and shoot again. Night Fever was already out, so they just did new videos for Stayin Alive and How Deep Is Your Love. This and the other 2 videos without Barry’s iconic beard were stuck in the vault for years, then released after KZfaq videos became a thing. This was filmed to look like Vegas, but is actually outside of Miami. Thanks for reacting!

Patty-I think you should check out the video where they actually work on writing a song, and they explain as they go along. They write the melody first and then the lyrics.

React to Bee Gees- Tragedy- The making of. its very interesting!

I love this song. I really enjoyed disco. That music divided the dancers from the non-dancers. It seemed like everyone who could dance to it, liked disco; and those who couldn't, hated it. 😃

fanny be tender with my love

You should react to Barry and Barbara A woman in love live version

How I got introduced to the BeeGees was at a Disco and that's the night I learned how to disco...what a great time I had!. Up on a stage we be dancing.

Check out, Love You Inside and Out.

Love your reactions... your joyful demeanour is a pleasure to watch...subscribed.

Have you watched Saturday Night Fever? If you like the Bee Gees, it's a must.

I think you are gonna like Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta 💙✨

"Saturday Night Fever", watch the movie...lots of great tunes. Fantastic

You gotta watch the movie. Saturday Night Fever. The movie was filmed in the disco so the clothes, hair, dances were really on point. The Soundtrack by the Bee Gees was on point. Travolta was a really good disco dancer. ENJOY!

You should check out the HBO documentary How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. You will gain a whole new appreciation for their music when you see the trials and tribulations that they went through to achieve the massive success they had in the mid to late 70s. It also focuses on their younger brother Andy’s very successful solo career with songs like Shadow Dancing and (Love Is) Thicker Than Water. It’s a much watch for any Bee Gees fan.

This is a great song but I LOVE Nights on Broadway and Wind of Change! Fanny Be Tender is Amazing and Love so Right too!! 👍🏻

More Bee Gees. Massachusetts, I Started A Joke, Words, I Can't See Nobody, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Rings Around The Moon, Alone, You Win Again, Bodyguard, Wouldn't I Be Someone . They have so many great songs. ,❤️

I agree with your review. NF was more disco in a smooth way

Someone told you wrong. Nothing like the other two. Really good, but no comparison.

No one comes close tonthese guys in terms of collection of incredible hits

Need Live!!

Check out Jive Talkin’

Saturday night fever was a hit. The story line was good. Dealt with real life issues. Acting was actually pretty bad. Music and dancing were great

💪🤜👌

👌🤜💪

Try One, Alone, Paying the Price of Love, Mr. Natural and For Whom the Bell Tolls for a Robin lead, Walking on Air for a Mo lead ❤ For the writing process, watch the Making of Just in Case ❤ They dominated the late 70s (not 80s) and they were the chart by themselves, lolol!

These songs came from the movie "Saturday Night Fever". Here's a link to the movie intro which features "Stayin' Alive". The image of Travolta walking is burned into my brain. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frx1pNxnsJeciaM.html If you choose to view/listen, enjoy. Also, here's a link to the dance move you mentioned (and about the movie). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLpkZdKU1tOtaac.html The movie set the stage for the come back of the Bee Gees.

I remember when my friend and I saw this movie (we were like 8-10 years old) ... I got the album (yes vinyl) and the album came with dance steps you could put on the ground to try to learn the steps. Pretty sure I remember that, unless I dreamt it lol. Very cool 💗 Check out Jive Talkin if you haven't already. There's a great live version. It's too bad you didn't see the live version of You Should Be Dancing ... Their brother Andy Gibb was in that video. Be forewarned tho if you watch the You Should Be Dancing video, it includes scenes from the movie. Here's the Jive Talkin video link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pad8fqSZxMiwZZs.html

8 weeks on the #1 billboard US Top 100 and world #1 in 1978 worldwide in 23 countries - every dance floor around the world were packed full, when especially this song starts and millions (including me) learn to dance in dance schools the disco shuffle -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNpxfNOJ3bLZmn2n.htmlhe the ultimative classic, was not only the hallmark of disco and their biggest #1 in the seventies 🕺🧯🔥

I camt believe you havent seen the movie yet!

Jive talking

Just asking, where your brothers at?

All those songs you mentioned are very close in tempo, it’s the dynamics of the chord progression and Melodie’s that are different.

You really need to watch the documentary…

My last name is on his hat and shirt, can you order them

This is a great song too, but I still like You Should be Dancing Better.
