Robin sings the first verse. Barry comes in on the “And” then sings the second verse. This is the original recording from 1971. This is the first song they wrote after a 15 month breakup. They also wrote Lonely Days at the same time. “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” is also the title of the HBO documentary from 2020.

This may be the first time you've really heard their natural voices.

Bee Gees produced all their own songs... with awesome great melody and lyrics 🎉❤

This is a fact, every four minutes around the world there’s Bee Gees song, playing, or a song that the Bee Gees wrote playing. true story❤

They loved to produce great songs from their money they earned from their music..for the fans ..the world ... great musicians.... they always did something good back to the world.... especially those in need......😊❤

Barry had many different voices - very versatile indeed. The 3 together were magic.

Robin sings lead at the start of this song. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is a song released by the Bee Gees in 1971. It was written by Barry and Robin Gibb and was the first single on the group's 1971 album Trafalgar. It was their first US No. 1 single and also reached No. 1 in Cashbox magazine for two weeks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kK-eiqp0mrKWhGw.html

Barry’s voice sounds a little different because they were still so young. Robin sang the first verse. How do you mend a broken heart is one of their most covered songs. Bee Gees write the most beautiful love songs.

These brothers are the real deal. They are remarkable in their voices and music. The early years Barry sang in a natural voice. In 1975 he discovered his falsetto on a song Nights on Broadway and it took them to a whole different world. You are right their music is all that to me as well. They wrote more then a thousand and recorded so many of them. I love them. Great reaction!!

A Bee Gees original written by Barry and Robin realised in 1971 and their first No1 in America, the song was from there Album Trafalgar , Then AL Green covered the song in 1972 a year later so that’s where you probably heard the song, Bee Gees have written over 1, 000 songs,the Bee Gees didn’t have to sing other people’s songs they had a huge catalog of their own songs, They also equaled Bing Crosby and Elvis Presleys record of 6 consecutive No 1 songs in a row , great reaction thanks 🙏

You talk about how natural their voices sound. Keep in mind that auto tune was not invented until the early 1990's.

The Bee Gees are the original songwriters. Glad you listened to them.

This song they wrote after a 18month break up because of jealously, money, immaturity,etc. Robin wanted more attention so he left and was successful..but he called Barry to get back together..this was the song that hrought them back together..love the Bee Gees!

Absolutely 💯 no other band could harmonise like the Bee Gees

This was from the 60 s, check out Massecusetts, Holiday , I started a joke, ny mining disaster, Words. All great songs I ll be watching

The greatest songwriters & vocalists in music history.

My mother raised me on Elvis.. my Daddy raised me on Frank Sinatra..I was a little girl the first time I heard this.. wow.. it's amazing.. and I think it's Robin that starts the song.. so beautiful.. you can never mess with sibling harmony.. just can't

They grew up pretty much poor, and started working professionally when 12 and 9 years old, with their father as their manager and their mom doing the laundry. Everything they made in Australia went to pay the family’s bills. Their father booked them to work in exchange for their fare to London, where they arrived in 1967 completely broke. After signing with NEMS a few weeks later, they experienced mega money for about 2 or 3 years, then split up for a few years, and the lawyers were the only ones going to have anything when it was over. They had some success after reuniting in 1970, but then were struggling again until JIVE TALKIN started their 1975-1980 successes. Because they had learned the hard way in the 60’s, they became much wiser with their money when the 70’s success came.... but they never forgot where they came from. They are known to be generous and charitable. Barry would split songwriting credits (and money) evenly with whoever was around when a song was written. They donated the profits from TOO MUCH HEAVEN to UNICEF in perpetuity, and then later BLUE ISLAND. They seem to be some of the most humble, down to earth celebrities, approachable, posing for pictures and giving out autographs, donating items and time for fundraisers. You are correct that they haven’t commanded the same respect as other (less talented) celebs, so it’s possible their catalog is under valued. It’s also not known how much of their music was bootlegged, or if their management was involved. Because Grease and Saturday Night Fever were such huge successes, it was assumed Sgt. Peppers would be, also... but it flopped. Because of bootlegging, more unsold albums were returned than had even been shipped out. They called for an audit of RSO and the details of the settlement are still undisclosed. I’m hoping that Barry will tell all in the book his son is helping him write!! Please react to TO LOVE SOMEBODY. There’s a great 1967 black and white tv appearance.

This is the original. They wrote this song early 70s when Robin rejoined the group. It's Robin who starts the song. It was to express their feelings about the break up. Lonely nights was written on the same day.

The first voice was Robin Gibb, not Barry.

Love the Brothers Gibb. They wrote it, anybody else is a cover. Maurice is pronounce Morris.

Al Green, Michael Bolton…and more people covered this song, written by the BeeGees.

Bee Gees were so big that they took over Led Zeppelin's jet for their Spirits having flown tour Grammy's didn't have categories for pop or disco music then.

They kept knocking themselves off #1 on the charts. I think it was harder to win a Grammy pre-2000 (approx).

I think Robin starts this song. They sound a lot alike.🥰 I Just a Message to You is one of my favorites. Robin sings it. It was earlier in their career. ❤

Al Greene was the cover...every song the Bee Gees ever sang was a song they wrote, and none of the brothers could read or write music...just blows my mind.

Yes, Robin said it was "organic", just full-on natural talent / genius!

That was Robin singing at the beginning not Barry! Robin is the lead singer on couple of songs and they ranked high on billboard charts.

First the bee gees are 👑👑👑👑 and will forever be part of my soul... SECOND OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT HAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂.. I Def need that ...FAN4LIFE

This is a beegees original recorded in 1971......Al Green covered in 1972....

Patty-They were more concerned with writing and performing rather than the money. Barry himself stated that he bought a Lamborghini and, 2 weeks later, and sent it back. It was too difficult to get out of.

'Bee Gee's.. pure magic.

You should really listen to "Tragedy"..Barry is unreal on that kne! And BTW to show you how amazingly talented and prolific they were at song writing , Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb wrote BOTH "Too Much Heaven" AND "Tragedy" in an afternoon off from making the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie, in which they were starring. In the same evening, they wrote "Shadow Dancing", which was performed by Andy Gibb (and reached number one in the US).

🇨🇦 Barry and Robin wrote this and it was released in 1971 ! What you may have seen/heard was a Documentary about the Bee Gees called How can you mend a broken heart !

The BeeGees!! Never to be duplicated!!

I grew up listening to them. This I heard in 1971 a Jr in high school. I first heard them in 1969.

70's were so great.

This was written by the BeeGees. Al did a cover of their song. You really should try Love You Inside Out.!!!!

Al Green did a cover of it. Robin sings in the beginning, then Barry takes over. Please react to Run to me 1972. Just remember they were only in their 20s here

Thank u ,keep listening, it gets as good as any .lovely voices together or alone .wow ,wow RIP BeeGees 🙏

Barry's net worth would have been even more but they donated the royalties of Too Much Heaven to UNICEF. They also donated royalties of another song to the children of Bosnia during that 90s war. Yes, the BeeGees wrote this song. Barry Gibb has said his favorite cover of all of his songs was Al Green's cover of this song!❤ Robin sings the first few lines, then Barry comes in with that whispery voice in the first verse. I love that smoky trumpet in the middle.❤

One of thee most beautiful lyrics and voices EVER ❤

This is one of the pre-disco songs. And there are a LOT of those.

Al Green did a cover toward the end of his recording career. He quit and became a Pastor

I call the Bee gees the gods of harmony!!🎶🎵

The BeeGees have written hundreds of song that are covered by others.

Also try reaction to Words from the Brothers Australian concert, live performance that is fabulous ❤

Al Green Did the song soulfully and beautifully,but Barry and Robin wrote "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"and did it first. It was done at a time when the group had broken up and were trying to get back together. They eventually worked it out.Maurice came back too,and they did some beautiful songs for themselves and other artists.

They wrote so many #1 hits for other people as well.

Robin started the song and Barry did the second verse. This was early song. Al Green did a cover a year or two later.

If you want to hear Robin sing lead, I Started A Joke was one of their earliest hits from 1969..there’s a video for it also.

Massachusetts, next please...a beautiful song

You have to react to the Bee Gees "Staying Alvie". You'll love it for sure.

Al Green covered the Bee Gees song they wrote. They've written more than 1000+ songs and wrote for so many other singers.

The Rev. Al Green's live version is must see. I like his version because of the grit, it's just raw emotion. I don't usually pick a favorite or who's better but...I have to give The Reverend this one.

This was their first hit in the US, to my knowledge.

Beautiful and sad. So many can relate to this. Bee Gees pre-disco.

Robin and Barry switch up lead vocals Al Green did a cover of this song.

Love this song, watch Fanny be tender with my love! Barry and Robin go toe to toe, it's awesome!

They were brothers and were singing since they were kids!.

Early 70's. Robin always sings in vibrato. Barry singing lower register. Try I Started A Joke, starts with Robin. Find the live on, I think the Phil Donahue show.

Bee Gees are legends and incomparable. They were featured in the Book of Guiness as the most successful songwriters of all times. Sir Barry Gibb was knighted by King Charles as the most successful composers of all times togehter with his late twin brothers Maurice and Robin. Aside from unique voices they are humble and down to earth and most of all handsome

You had to of heard the Al Green version growing up, it was written by them in 1971, their first No. 1, then Al Green did it in 1972 and it was one of his biggest hits as well.

You need peace brother God gives peace nomatterwhere youlive

I love when you do research!! Just saying.❤️🤘🏻

Story of The Bee Gees on HBO Max….”How do You Mend a Broken Heart”. Came out a few years ago. It’s a must watch. Also several videos on KZfaq that tell their story from beginning to end

Al Wilson sang this same song, but it is a Bee Gee song written by them.

That song was written by Barry Gibb after the Beegees break up...

Now that you've been told by some other fans that Robin was one of the 2 lead singers on this song what you should do is play the song called Massachusetts which Robin is the lead singe,r and it is also a great example of Robin's wonderful voice. And Massachusetts was also written by Robin. Which by the way was Not the overall norm. Besides being lead singer, Barry was also the main writer. Massachusetts isn't just a song that headlined Robin, it's also in my top 5 Bee Gees songs of all time, and that sure is saying something when Barry Gibb is your lead singer!! Give it a try you won't regret it and I'm sure any BG's fan out there will agree with me

Check out Maurice singing CLOSER THAN CLOSE live in Los Vegas 1997 and Wind Of Change (Live in 1997 good audio). ROBIN singing Bodyguard and Giving Up The Ghost. THEIR LIVE CONCERTS IN THE 80's up to 2001 you will love

Andy is smoking hot!

Check out their jumbo jet for their world tour.

Al Green covers this song....A must watch 1972 live soul.... How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.. Much different than BGs.....My favorite Al Green Live Performance

I hope you get around to doing some of their Live Medley's performances. Bee Gees, Medley ( Midnight Special, 1975) is a good one.

I like it when you do research! People need to know this stuff!

Waiting for some more Queen. The more Queen reactions you do, the Queen army will find you. I'm enjoying your channel.

😂😂😂😂 This is pre disco era.

This song is very popular in concerts. You must add to your list Tragedy, Wind of Change and Nights on Broadway

This is one of my favorite Bee Gees song. It makes me cry it's so good.

Being such a fan of the instrumentation, you'd definitely appreciate Phil Specters "wall of sound". He regularly used a full orchestra in his songs. Check out Tina Turner's "River deep, mountain high"

The harmony gives me chills❤

Dynamic Trio😊

Most of their songs from the 60s till around the mid 70s sounded extremely different. Almost like a beatles feel to their music. You could hear mainly robin singing a lot of the songs. Barry sang at a much lower key as far as singing register. As the mid 70s hit and disco took off, Barry tried his current high pitched falsetto which is still used currently in his concerts. He sings country now. Several albums actually. He did an albem last January that I bought that has him singing with all country artists incuding Dolly Parton. He is 76 years old now and his health is getting very bad now. He might not be singing for much longer.

👏👏🤩🤩

Love love love this song. This is my all time favorite Bee Gees song. It's better when they do it live. Many artists had those orchestras and they really make the music. Thanks

When they threw in the 4th brother, Andy, it was fire

Al Green did a cover of this

Hey I like when you do your research. Don’t let people change your ways, it’s your channel do it Your way 😎

Robin

You really should listen to Al Green sing it too. I knew his version first back in 1971. The Bee Gees wrote and sang this too Al released it the next year 1972. This was way before they started sining disco.

Do their “Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)”. Even better.

Love your reaction to this great song! I think you know more about music than you think you do, it's very refreshing. Carry on!!

Have you reacted to Nights on Broadway yet? Recording that song is when they discovered their falsettos.

Yes you are correct, you must have heard it and it was Al Green who did the cover! Al green would did put a different spin on it! That was Robin, you thought was Barry. Believe me it is the same song Al did, it just sounds different.

It's the bee gees song.. al green did their cover!

What instruments do Bee Gees use? Barry Gibb plays rhythm guitar. Robin Gibb does not play any instruments onstage, but plays piano, cello, and other instruments privately. Maurice Gibb played bass guitar, rhythm and lead guitar, piano, organ, mellotron, and electronic keyboards, synthesizers and drum tracks.

Both Robin and Barry are prominent players in this one.

This song was written by Berry and Robin Gibb

Robin sang the first verse...very distinct vibrato.

They wrote it for Al Green , he released it first then a few years later the BeeGees released it. Robin started the song then Barry came in and sung the rest. You’d like Tragedy and Fanny Be Tender With My Heart. They were do special back in our days some of their Love Songs, like they were singing to us women. You want find a garbage song by them. Barry’s been married to his wife Linda for 50 years
