I like your reactions 🙂This song was written by Bee Gees specifically for Otis Redding, but he tragically died in an accident before he got to record it. Bee Gees decided to record it themselves. It is no wonder you have heard it as it is one of the most covered songs in history. It was covered by Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Keith Urban, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Michael Buble and a bunch others. Remember Barry Gibb wrote 16 Billboard #1 songs. They sounded very different before the disco area and also very different after it. I would like you to react to Bee Gees - Words (Live 1979) or Bee Gees- For Whom The Bell Tolls

This is their original song. They wrote it in 10 minutes together one day. Barry hadn’t discovered his falsetto yet when they recorded this which is why it’s vastly different from their disco era.

My favourite BeeGees pre-Disco songs are:- First of May, 1969 Don't forget to remember, 1969 Run to me, 1972

Run to me was the first of their songs that I went out and bought and I still think that it's one of their best. I wasn't crazy about the change over to disco, SNF specifically but later on, I feel like they found a happy balance between their previous styles, on songs like Too much heaven, For whom the bell tolls etc, .

One of my favourite Bee Gees songs was also one of their first; 'New York Mining Disaster 1941'. Being a young 14 year old in a rural part of England the title and subject matter always fascinated me. It was a long time before I found out the true inspiration for the song.

Please, please blow your mind even further by listening to their 80's and 90's songs. Yet another rebirth for this amazing and versatile band. For Whom the Bell Tolls is a MUST, along with One and Alone. There are others but these are the best. And don't forget Barry just came out with a compilation album where he sings song from The Bee Gees library with mainly country artists called Greenfields, Volume 1. The Bee Gees and Barry especially have released albums in SEVEN different decades, beginning with the 60's! Think about that....amazing band and the Greatest Of All Time!!!

Barry discovered his falsetto by accident when they were working on Jive Talkin' ten years later. There is a documentary that just got released on HBO that is off the chain. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Robin and Barry had a very difficult relationship. Maurice was the peacemaker. Then, they got a little brother Andy Gibb. He had huge hits and was the youngest. He looks and sounds EXACTLY like Barry. He ended up dying of drug abuse. They wrote all their stuff. ALL of it.

Barry Gibb wrote this for Otis Redding. He died before he could record it. They wrote all their own music and a ton of hits for other famous musical artists, Barbra Streisand, a bunch of others. They wrote almost all of the songs for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack without reading the script. Barry discovered by accident that he could sing Falsetto. Barry Gibb is only 2nd to Paul McCartney in writing. He’s 22 here and the twins are 18. Listen to some of their early stuff from the 1960s. They were performing professionally since they were little kids. No stage parents. They loved it. Barry wrote hits for baby brother Andy. There’s a great documentary on The Bee Gees on HBOMAX right now. It’s really worth your time. They were early Blue-eyed Soul. Barry is the eldest and the last living of the four brothers. He has an older sister. Thanks for sharing this. That song is 45 years old. Made it to the top 20 in US. Not sure if it made it to top 10. It’s Barry’s favorite song he wrote.
