Firstly thankyu for the video, Sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear it. Second to Robin, Don't give up just yet, keep fighting, i lost my ex wife to cancer, you caught yours not too late and this medicine man may be the cure, please dont give up, can't imagine a world with ya Robin, Keep Strong, if i could send ya good vibe, this it it, Do not let it beat you, we lv ya
......when the guitar strumming hits that chord with the bass at 1:06, oh man-oh man...how the beautiful essence of these brothers runs through your veins (at least for me). Great song....magical group.
@jbyesterday It's 2 chords and i completely agree, sends chills down ya back those small changes, G power chord slide to F power chord, PERFECT! i have only seen them once, oh lord how i wished i had got another chance. Beautiful Songwriters/musicians & singers, an amazing song based o a true event, only the bee gees could come up with this
THIS is the first recording I can remember listening to, by the Bee Gees. The year was 1968 and this song was coming thru my '57 Chevy's AM radio, loud & clear. Memories of a lifetime ago..............
Maurice looks really cute on the cover of this album. I like the earlier BG's stuff, everyone remembers them for disco, and they often overlook these classics.
well its funy that the song is about a new york disaster NEW YORK DESAStEr... I SWEAR TO GOD WHEN I HEARD ABoUT NINE 11 ELEVEN I TOTALLY DIDNt THINK ABOUT YOU HOW U SAID SHE LIVES THERE... I NEVER FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE TEXT... but i always understood what once existed must be dead and it was so poetic and nnow its so sad without neda..and im not even worth a photo of her??? EVEN SO I LOVED HER FOR OVER 10 YEARS???
@MIKECNW Because European kids are much more socially conscious than their American counterparts. Can you imagine a USA group coming up with a song like "Oliver's Army" or "Go straight to Hell Boy?"
I don't know the whole story but the N. Y. mining Disaster is based on a true story and I don't think the miners made it, but could be wrong this is one of my favorites as well;
can someone tell me * i thaught there was no coal mine in New York , and certainly not a disaster .But it s one of my favorite songs by the Bee Gees , there were in 67 and 68 the best
What I read is they wrote after the Aberfan disaster in Wales- they may have titled it that way because Aberfan was still too raw for the British people at the time.
@skeaneable That is funny! Wow, never heard that one! When this one came out, we knew who sang it...but the song, "Come and Get It" by Badfinger in 1970, was mistaken for the Beatles by many...all great music! Beatles Group...lol! Still laughing at that one...thanks:)
@FaithsTigress As is with many songs by the Police. The brevity is actually part of their greatness. You want more, but what you get is just the right amount.
I grew up with Bee Gees, ABBA, Queen, Beatles, Michael Jackson, ... their music is soooo great! I never wanted the Spirit of Rock, Pop and Classic Rock 60s -90s disappear...
@17DJLOVER i know that spicks and specks didn t chart is the uk , but in Nederland it was nr 2 , but in Belgium was the first hit * to love somebody *but we in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium listen to Radio Veronica ( A PIRATE LOL ) and we went over the border , 30 miles , where the singles ( spicks and specks and new york ) was for sale .do you know that we do not have a chart on the radio in our Vlaanderen till may 1970 .There was only a list of best 20 ( Humo ) a weekly magazine
@walter4092 Very interesting thanks for the info- I do remember Radio Veronica, they played some great music, but what has remained with me is that annoying advert about stimmero gum? lol
wow this is a good song... i've never heard the bee gees like this before... i always thought they were just disco... hmmm must do some research now... anyone want to drop a few names to songs like this by the bee gee's... or just good songs by them that isnt disco... it would help alot... thanks in advance
I have this LP, I grew up in the sixties, I really wish people understood why people wrote music like this.... motivation !!! Why does the other person feel what they do ??....sensitivity !!!
Now THIS is the BEE GEES, NOT THAT GODDAMNED FUCKING DISCO RUBBISH THEY DID IN THEY LATER DAYS. I OWN THIS LP AND 'BEST OF BEE GEES VOL. 2' BOTH ON RSO LP'S WITH THE PINK COW LOGO, THIS HAS THE LIGHT BEIGE LABEL AND THE OTHER HAS THE SILVER LABEL.
@lassiesfriends09 i m 57 and was 13 when the bee gees had with this song their first hit and 44 years later i still remember what i was doing when they play all the others songs of this group
My Veetle Channel will have this song on my Retro Countdown next week as I play the hits from 6-24-67. Go To Veetle dot com, channels, music tab, Current & Classic Radio shows and listen, we have an email and you can ask us for whole shows!
Everytime I hear the beegees I remember when I was young at my late granny's house with my aunts and and uncle sitting round the turn table listening to them.
hi e1, i need huge favor plz,my 4 sons love singing, theyv never had lessons & wrote their first song called (is it really possible) can u please check them out & tell me what you think? they are 12, 10,8 & 4yrs old, thanks heaps in advance! :-)
@ConfusedSponge He is their drummer who I can only assume got dumped somewhere along the way. I think they were originally a 5 piece when they come over from Australia
I heard that in 1967 there was a rumour around the Bee Gees and a lot of people thought that it was The Beatles who published under that name. So on the radio they played this song and the mentioned that this was the new single by the Beatles. Is this correct? Can anybody tell?
Even though I don't like comments like "I'm 18 and I love them" I just need to say that to assure you people.

reread my comment, i was not attacking. just not a fan of disco. i loved their early music especially n.y. mining disaster. they didnt just last on the charts by the way. they owned the charts during the disco craze. d.j.'s who were tired of hearing them used to have beegee free weekends and such. their early music was great
the beegees were disco. they defined and refined the style. i didnt like it either but give them their due. they were the biggest thing in music during the 70's. i love their early music.
@diecargal The Bee Gees where Disco in the 70's but they had many many hits in the 60's with Robin singing Lead like I Started A Joke and this song Disaster in 1941 which was written in 10 minutes when the power went out at the recording studio... The Bee Gees lasted close to 25 years on the charts you are selecting a very small part of there history to attack
@beaner9700 Good. I was approximately your age when I first got into them in 1967 and today they still live me. Some of the best harmonies you will ever hear. {;-)
@chewylikesit I'm not too sure, but I think it's supposed to be like a letter found by the wife while he is being trapped with Jones, but maybe I'm overcomplicating it.
@noproblem53 I don't like their disco music either, but they (like so many other bands) just wanted to survive. From what I'm told from people who lived in the disco years, a lot of artist suffered because they had someone else writing their songs instead of composing it themselves. This is pretty damn funny concidering it was going on at those times too, not to mention all the covers!
Probably because they realized that they had to adapt and experiment with new sounds in order to remain relevant to the current music scene,and that's why they had the success and longevity that they did.If they simply set about appeasing narrow minded old fucks like you,they would have been long forgotten rather than being recognized for being one of the greatest and most successful acts in recent history.
maybe mr.jones is somebody, bob dylan has a song called ballad of a thin man, where he sings of mister jones maybe there are connected in maybe...maybe not
@taylorjaybass They're obviously singing about David Bowie. His real name is David Jones and he was once called 'The Thin White Duke'. (Just kiddin'!)
I love the early Bee Gees, say up to 1974. The work from the 60's stands the test of time. It was very creative and compelling. This song is a perfect example. I also love "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You." Unlike many bands from the 60's, like Herman's Hermits or Dave Clark Five who incorporate too much influence and emulation in their songs, The Bee Gees would have existed even without The Beatles. Although I don't HATE their disco stuff, I don't love it. Still, I'm a big fan.

@beaner9700 Good. I was approximately your age when I first got into them in 1967 and today they still live me. Some of the best harmonies you will ever hear. {;-)

@chewylikesit I'm not too sure, but I think it's supposed to be like a letter found by the wife while he is being trapped with Jones, but maybe I'm overcomplicating it.

why o why didn't the BeeGees stay with this beautifull sound instead of going disco junk
noproblem53 1 year ago 2
@noproblem53 I don't like their disco music either, but they (like so many other bands) just wanted to survive. From what I'm told from people who lived in the disco years, a lot of artist suffered because they had someone else writing their songs instead of composing it themselves. This is pretty damn funny concidering it was going on at those times too, not to mention all the covers!

@noproblem53 You mean the disco that shot them to stardom and the top of the charts again? That junk?

@noproblem53
Probably because they realized that they had to adapt and experiment with new sounds in order to remain relevant to the current music scene,and that's why they had the success and longevity that they did.If they simply set about appeasing narrow minded old fucks like you,they would have been long forgotten rather than being recognized for being one of the greatest and most successful acts in recent history.

I love that drum beat.
Also, the song is uncharacteristically dark for 1967.

maybe mr.jones is somebody, bob dylan has a song called ballad of a thin man, where he sings of mister jones maybe there are connected in maybe...maybe not

@taylorjaybass They're obviously singing about David Bowie. His real name is David Jones and he was once called 'The Thin White Duke'. (Just kiddin'!)

Anyone notice that despite their mellow sound the lyrics to many of their songs cover dark themes.

I love the early Bee Gees, say up to 1974. The work from the 60's stands the test of time. It was very creative and compelling. This song is a perfect example. I also love "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You." Unlike many bands from the 60's, like Herman's Hermits or Dave Clark Five who incorporate too much influence and emulation in their songs, The Bee Gees would have existed even without The Beatles. Although I don't HATE their disco stuff, I don't love it. Still, I'm a big fan.
