    Mr. Dangerous was married to the same women his entire adult life.
  • I am a 69 yr. old black female. I listen to this song every day. It was released 1978. I was married 1977. If it had been released in 1977, it would have been one of the songs in my wedding. (Today - July 23rd is my 47th wedding anniversary) A little background. Barry Gibb (middle) September 1, 1946. He and his wife Linda have been married for 53 years. They have 4 sons and one daughter who is the youngest. Also, 7 grandchildren. Barry's chest is shiny with blotches because when he was about 18 months, he pulled a pot of hot tea from off of a table. His mom said he didn't speak for a long time (close to 2 years.) He was close to dying because there was no skin grafting back then and gangrene was beginning to set in. Barry said he has no memory of it happening, just the scars to prove it. Robin (on our left - long hair) and Maurice (on our right - short hair) were fraternal twins. Maurice Gibb (December 22, 1949 - January 12, 2003) heart attack, while getting surgery for twisted intestines. Survived by wife and 2 adult children. Robin Gibb (December 22, 1949 - May 20, 2012) doctors found out he had the same intestine problems as Maurice. When they went in to fix it, they found cancer. He is survived by wife and 4 adult children. Andy Gibb not pictured. (March 5, 1958 - March 10, 1988) He was too young to sing with his brothers. He had his own successful career. He and Barry could have been identical twins. He had a bad heart. Andy is survived by one daughter. You know the song 'Emotion' sung by Destiny's Child? Well --- the brothers wrote the song (1977) for the singer Samantha Sang. Destiny's Child has too much drama in it. But Barry said he liked it. Emotion https://youtu.be/b_wTZjo9azk?si=Y863cKzsfSsxKiTP They wrote their own songs and wrote and produced songs for a lot of other artists. Barry didn't always sing in falsetto. They were asked if someone could sing falsetto on a song. Barry volunteered, and the rest is history. Robin sings falsetto too. On a side note, the first born is their sister, Lesley (Gibb) Evans. She can sing, but she did not want to be in the limelight. She lives a quiet life. She and Barry are the last two survivors of the family. Maurice passed away on Lesley's 58th birthday. They were so popular that some radio stations had a 'Bee Gees free' weekend. NO requests for their songs. There's so much to write about them. In your spare time, I think you'll like what they have contributed to the music industry. I recommend the following songs: Staying Alive https://youtu.be/I_izvAbhExY?si=7p2Pbvfime9eHGc-&t=1 How Deep Is Your Love https://youtu.be/XpqqjU7u5Yc?si=TJzrh9ns2v1rUvnH Spirits Having Flown https://youtu.be/WWBFpoErDCM?si=3mpRsV0a-kfCMDWX Shadow Dancing (Andy Gibb) https://youtu.be/7j_yGYU_jUU?si=fgwTh0Si29Axvb7S Bodyguard https://youtu.be/Fx5XwIKCs3o?si=ZR3i-vkS0bTbUsMd You Should Be Dancing (Andy is with them in this video: from the movie Saturday Night Fever) https://youtu.be/Auo29DPfZ2E?si=XevU5_t8wV8gQCBS&t=1 You Win Again https://youtu.be/KZY9oYSSjFI?si=tNkXzwYEE2uOUi1I Secret Love https://youtu.be/iVseOSFTGAw?si=5DFjJ0rTH1_6GvEw For Whom the Bells Toll https://youtu.be/jTowyYFXIUY?si=kqPuP-VmVOO8dkca

    Barry Gibb is still married, for 54 years, with his one and only wife.😂
  • @belvagurr403
    They donated the proceeds from this song to a children’s charity and have raised millions for the charity.
  • My dad used to dance with my mom in the living room anytime this song was played. They were married for 60 years
  • @vexroid7028
    The Bee Gees dedicated all of the money they made on this song to UNICEF. To help kids. Amazing people.
  • I am 64 and grew up listening to The Bee Gees and I still love The Bee Gees!! Beautiful voices, words you can understand and pure talent!
  • It’s so fun as someone who grew up with The Bee Gees to see your generation discover their talent. Their music for me represents a wonderful time in my life and like everyone is saying, no auto tune, just pure talent. So sad when Maurice (pronounced Morris) and Robin died.
  • No you're wrong, Barry only looked gorgeous in his appearance only ,he was talented and only royal to his beloved pretty wife.no other ladies 😊❤
  • @freddyhill8632
    No beatbox needed, pure talent, emotions and talent. they are legends that shaped music
  • The Brothers Gibbs are Legendary! Their falsetto harmonies are Iconic and defined an Era!😊😊😊😊
  • I'll be 61 this coming October and EVERYONE adored the BeeGees! Regardless of race, class, age, sex, etc. we could all get together to appreciate excellence! If we could only go back to the 70's!!!
  • @endoraismygma
    Ah the Bee Gees made some of the most beautiful music, that is still unparalleled today. Breathy beautiful romantic and they wrote all of their own songs. They even wrote several hits for other artists as well. I was blessed to grow up with their music. So dang talented.

    @Devonte Warner They are brothers (The Brothers Gibb). Barry (in the middle, is the oldest. And yes, I had a crush on him back in the day). The other two (Robin & Maurice) are fraternal twins. They had a younger brother (Andy Gibb) who had a great solo career. He was too young to join his older brothers at that time. The Bee Gees were big in the Black Community back in the day. Please react to more! Here’s a list with my interpretation of what genre I think they fall under: Too Much Heaven (R&B) Went to #1 How Deep Is Your Love (R&B Ballard), went to #1 Staying Alive (disco), went to #1 Night Fever (disco), went to #1 You Should Be Dancing (R&B or disco), went to #1 Fanny be tender with my love (R&B). Quincy Jones said this was his favorite R&B song. It’s a favorite of mine too. Jive Talking (R&B), went to #1 Nights on Broadway (R&B/Funk)..you’ll hear the brothers “natural” voices in this song. Tragedy (Techno? Pop) It also went #1 More than a woman (Disco/R&B) One of the best love songs ever made! Love you inside out (Funk/pop), went to #1 To love somebody (R&B) One of their earlier hits, from 1967!!! You’ll see how young they were. Massachusetts (pop/country), went to #1 Wind of Change (funk/r&b), live 1975 from the Midnight Special or live from their 1979 Spirits tour. They sing in their natural voices on this song. Alone (pop): One of the songs they made late in their career. Love So Right (R&B), One of Barry’s best falsetto songs ever. Words (pop, 1979 Spirits Tour). Barry pours his heart out on this song and they show his wife & son on screen some while he was performing it. Lonely Days (pop). One of the first songs they wrote after they got back together when they briefly broke up in 1969 then got back together in 1970 to write this. You Win Again (pop), If you want to hear some 80’s Bee Gees, this is a good one. Went #1 in the UK Run to Me (pop) How Can you mend a broken heart (R&B). The other song they wrote when they first got back together after a brief breakup. It was also their first #1 in the US Kiss of Life (rock). Shows a diverse side of them. One (pop), their last top 10 hit in the US Wedding Day (pop), a single they wrote for their wives! All of them had been married for a while. Barry is will married to this day to Linda for over 53 years! Rest Your Love on Me Awhile (country). Shows diversity! Bodyguard (R&B), Robb really shines on this song that could have been played on any R&B radio station! For Whom the Bell Tolls (pop), again, Robin shines on this one. Blue Island - live (pop). This song shows the perfect blend & harmony the brothers have. Especially if you do the acoustic one. Just the 3 of them with 2 guitars! Our Love, Don't Throw it all away-Bee Gee's or Andy's version (pop). After their brother Andy passed, they started performing this during shows in honor of him. Secret Love (pop). I love the best to this song! Barry & Robin leads. This is Where I Came in (live) (pop). From the very last CD they ever released. There is a live version out there from a tv show. That's a great one to see how they have evolved into the 2000's! The 1989 One for all tour medley (excellent vocals & some humor). This is a little long (over 12 min), but they go through about 7-9 songs in this medley with just the 3 of them around 1 mic either Barry in the guitar.
