Your song in the style of the Bee Gee's worked for me. I've become a big fan of the Bee Gee's over time. Always liked them but didn't truly appreciate their talent and genius at first.


Enjoyed my listen. This is a very good write, mix, arrangement, production and performance. The vocals are excellent.

This is awesome! Great arrangement, and the vocals are wonderful. Truly a fitting tribute to the quality of the Bee Gees' vocals themselves. How about a Beach Boys one next??

I have a love/hate relationship with the Bee Gees. Seeing them perform live was pretty amazing. No autotune, just good singing.

This is a good tribute based on the style they used in their earlier years before they went "disco".

There's a chord that's bugging me. It sounds like it's not exactly the correct chord. happens in several places but here's a few. first time is at 15s.....very noticeable at 2:19/20... 2:31....

Really excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

You certainly captured the intended tribute.

Wonderful tribute, Ron, both vocally and stylistically.

I have always loved the Bee Gees. Their sound is so unique, and their voices aren't everyone's cup of tea; however, they were extremely talented, and just nailed the harmonies every time.

I do love their early work, but I wore out my "Main Course" album when I bought it. I can listen to "Fanny Be Tender (With My Love)" over and over again.

It was sad to see Maurice and Robin go; and of course Andy prior to that.

Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the listens and many kind comments! This was fun to do, and Dusty got into it as well.

Loved the Bee Gees before they were popularized, felt vindicated when Saturday Night Fever made them a sensation, then horrified when the whole disco thing ignited. Never lost my love for the sound of the Bee Gees and while their choices continued to evolve, their voices never lost the magic. Was nice to stroll down memory lane again with this song.

Will, love the Beach Boys as well, might have to give that a try one of these days. smile

Guitarhacker, great ears! Opened up the flute and guitar tracks in Melodyne and both guitars consistently substituted an Amaj7 for the A6 chord. There were some other places where this happened, but are more buried in the mix. Just moved the G# to A in Melodyne (studio version, a GREAT tool) but will listen more carefully next time and might use F#m/A or F#m7/A next time I want a 6 sound. BiaB substitutes work ok most of the time, this time it did kind of stand out, especially since the flute correctly played the F# and the guitars played the G#.

Excellent song, well sung.
I tried to imagine Bee Gees singin this song and I think it could goes well,
some harmonies remind me to Bee Gees sound.

Glad you like it, Steve!

Will, thanks for the encouragement. Guess if I'm daredevil enough to take on the Bees Gees, the Beach Boys shouldn't be scary at all. smile

Yeah! You did a great job of getting that feel!! I love the old Bee Gee stuff (pre-disco, and some post-disco). My brother recently played a bunch of tracks off the One Night Only DVD. Really cool! Thanks for this!! Take care. Greg
