Andy Gibb Marilyn McCoo Why Do Fools Fall in Love

[WatchVenusSpa]

This is note for note what would happen if you had Beyonce do a duet with a sober Whitney Houston. Andy had a good voice that worked well with proper song selections but he is WAY out of his league with Marilyn.

[orbitring]

Marilyn McCoo's voice sure has range ... what a voice !

[tawheedization]

he an aquarian she sang aquarian i love them both miss you andy may u see paradise and Allah blot out your sins for your troubles souls

[WonderWomanFan4life]

Andy looked so much better then the rest of the Beee Geees..Marilyn was so hot

[WonderWomanFan4life]

I was in love with Andy Gibb. I had a poster of him on my wall until my dad took it down. LOL

[rls0411]

Marilyn McCoo is hotter than a blazing inferno on top of a white-hot cauldron surrounded by a molten volcano. Did I mention she's stunningly gorgeous?

[dav1099]

Great job, Marilyn McCoo is always right on the mark!

and damn i almost forgot anout the soild gold dancers, never would miss a show.

Diana Ross may have re-made this tune, but it is not HER tune. This was Frankie Lyman's tune.

[DoshUnScripted]

Andy Gibb then

Jutin Beiber now

(accept Aandy does not need machines to make his voice sound decent. Not a put down or anything, just a fact).

[marcosmarinheiro]

Epic, nostalgic, legendary.

[oroizwvm]

i seen this video cause i dont know these guy so rip andy gibb if hes still alive please tell me so i cant look like a ass

[70sdiscobabe]

@oroizwvm He is passed away I wish you WERE mistaken though he was FABULOUS and lovely!

[yarekhunt]

The SOLID GOLD DANCERS! AWESOME!

[ilsy74]

Thank you so much for posting this one. My copy was getting quite worn. If you have any other Andy Solid Gold clips please let me know. I so love this musac!!

[SweetSesatia]

Yeah but he was nowhere near as cute!!

[jorgebrito2]

Billy Davis was a better host than Andy Gibb. Davis paired up better with Marilyn McCoo.

[SweetSesatia]

Anyways even if it isnt his best who cares! this is Andy Gibb, the sweetheart he was!!! just looking again at his beautiful face is enough!

[vanjane]

No I think he is out of his depth in this song. It is just uncomfortable to watch and not a good vocal match.

[SweetSesatia]

Andy is not weak at all here. He may have been having some personal problems, in fact he was, and his heart wasn't into doing this. he looked wonderful and sang wonderful in my opinion. God I miss Solid Gold. real entertainment unlike the cack that passes for entertainment nowadays like American Idol.....meh......

[berkeleyhome]

gorgeous woman..gorgeous voice

[falldownhard]

Andy has by far the vocal chops for this song, even with ultra-brilliant Marilyn. What a waste, it's so sad that a few years after this he was no longer with us. Listen to "Love Is (Thicker Than Water" to hear what Andy is vocally capable of. I think Barry loved having Andy as an outlet for all his extra creative writing outside of the Bee Gees.

[rocky01ist]

I really don`t like this! She is off her stage here. thought so much abt her songs earlier,but why shouldn`t she become a commercial artist too....Don`t like this!!

[dmgcat]

Andy Gibb is weak when paired up with her. Shes too powerful for him. Sorry Gibb fans he's got his own place but not with her.

[jasminegilles]

in the many songs as they sung together I noticed the connection wasn't really there. When I did some research I read what Marilyn said about Andy in an interview. She and him really didn't get that close. I feel like they both weren't into it. Marylin was just better at faking it.

[jasminegilles]

@jasminegilles Andy was a very emotional singer and amazing vocalist. I really believe he just wasn't feeling it..

[Eightiesgirl46]

@jasminegilles Wow, who couldn't have gotten along with Andy.....he was such a sweet guy.  Andy did a great job here along with Marilyn although she does have quite a stronger voice.

[frogledy]

These two created Magic when they sang together. Andy's voice and smile melt me every time. He can drop the mic early anytime for me....if you're not convinced of what a pro he was...just keep watching vids on here. Andy was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dbzst]

Great tune with two terrific singers - loved this duet! Wonderful Memories!

[kajehgb]

to ritter89-that's a horrible thing to say about andy and usually what men who are jealous of what he looked like would say.

Andy had a beautiful head of hair and his hair looked good at 29-30.

Also not everyone's genes are the same in a family.

Andy Gibb will always be known as having georgous hair and being beautiful, and now that he is in heaven- he has perfect hair.

[ritter89]

Had Andy lived, he would've been completely bald by now, just like his bothers. He was already thinning by age 30 and that entire family has some major male pattern baldness genes in their blood. I've no idea what made me just think about this :-)

[oldbag699]

who cares he aint got any hair now

[bluemeany]

@oldbag, yes, he does have hair. Hair doesn't really decompose. If you dug him up you could cut it off and make a genuine andy gibb toupee. ritter89 would buy it and wear it to the bar to pick up chicks.

[Manuscrypt]

Can´t be compared with Frankie Lymon´s original, he wrote it, it´s his. And he was 13! Sorry Diana...:-)

[plastic1492]

Hello Scotty , beam me back to the 80s please.

[paradoxicle]

lol turn her mic down lolz poor andy!

[peru391]

Shows like this don exist anymore ....very badddd!!

[Yalandria]

WOW Andy Gibb

[chrissylm37]

I soooo remember watching this episode when I was a kid.

[coronet72]

It was a great show. Love the style and performance of both.

[kajehgb]

marilyn mccoo is very annoying to me in this song, its like please let andy sing.

i love andy gibb and would rather listen to his voice any day rather than hers....

[yandrsupreme]

Andy was so strung out on drugs at this time, that Marilyn had to carry the song. He wans't projecting or putting anything into the song, really. Those two look strange onstage together.. she's so much bigger than him, she looks like she could break him in half!

[reymatt76]

Yeah I don't think this particular song was a good choice for Andy Gibb, but they did pretty darned well considering all the other stuff going on with the show. And if I was on Solid Gold and had a week to rehearse dance numbers, memorize lines, and then sing with Marilyn McCoo, I'd probably be doing lines left and right just to keep up.

[neneshubby]

Wow! The hair, the outfits, the dancers. Its so 80's.

[rmartel68]

Buena presentación de Andy !!! Él es maravilloso!!! Muchas Gracias por compartir este gran video!!!

Saludos,

Roxana

[antiann52]

Its hard looking at Andy Gibbs. I like the way he sang. How tragic.

[RRacheli]

Fantastic !

racheli

[saltifish]

That was funny, we couldn't even hear poor little Andy's voice.. Marilyn's voice is way to powerful for him.

[flame4myandy]

love the way andy struts onto stage...help need doctor...

[flame4myandy]

dont worry. we knew what you meant peaches. sweets just look at this hunk of man. is it any wonder he made all the girls go straight into fantasy land? be still my heart. marilyn and our doc were good mates.

[blondiebabs]

love this so much...i think andy sings great with any other singer ! ....thanks  for the video babe x love u andy x

[Zobobonologomo]

im glad they did the diana ross version. i like it better. and marilyn sings amazingly

[TV5Alive]

I heard this remake when I was a child. I always thought Marilyn McCoo song it. She sounds good covering it.

[lbCharmed1]

I don't know why they chose to make this a duet. Andy's has a nice voice, but he nowhere near as powerful a singer as Marilyn and she just literally drowns him out to point that sounds like her back up singer. Maybe that's why he kept dropping the mic?

[CoolWhiteChick]

OMG those dancers!!! So 80's!!! Marilyn McCoo is STILL the best. I saw her and her man in concert last night - both are still vocally strong and GORGEOUS!!!

[zzzzz87]

She blows him out of the water. She should have released this as a single with a less up-tempo version. BTW the original version is by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, not Diana Ross.

[Brujitaole]

Lovely duet and a very lovely Andy. I think this song was just not totally Andy's cup of tea, seen the type of song, but then he sang it anyway with a big smile. He just gave full dedication to anything he worked on. Thanks for keeping the memory of Andy alive. Nikka

[Branner]

He can't keep up with her vocally here.

[mccoofan]

In watching this a couple of times, I noticed that Andy Gibb often drops his microphone before finishing a phrase, which will surely get you out-powered in a duet. Not very good mic technique for a pro...or, maybe he just wasn't that into singing this song?

[edofonse]

Andy excellent again. We have lost a great singer and composer

[BennettBB]

I always thought Marilyn McCoo was as cute and beautiful as most of the lady SG Dancers!!! I hated Marilyn do duets with Andy Gibb but other of her duets was much better such as Cliff Richard! Thanks for the vid!
