Jerry Lee Lewis: Steve Allen Show [2nd Appearance S.A. intro + famous stool tossing 1957]
jerry lee lewis +the bee gees: money [midnight special ouch]
wow, hit a nerve huh? Bee gees had a few great songs, but they sound horrible singing this song. "remember this was a comedy show", well, obviously because I laughed watching them. They had to hold their ears? Why didn't JLL? He wailed away like it was nothing, the king. I'm not being hasty, just telling it like I see it. sorry!

The Bee Gees are a legendary act much like Jerry, who is much more experienced than them here, but the brothers had already amassed a huge catalogue at this point; however there is a reason why Maurice and Robin never did high harmony's on their own in that style, its a bit of fun here, they are all having fun, its fun, Jerry sure look like he enjoyed it, it was just a bit loud clearly, still sounds pretty good to me, great end
Quite funny as well, have a look at their song with Wilson Picket.;)

And Jerry was playing piano if you didn't notice, unless he had 3 hands it would be pretty difficult for him to hold his ear, Maurice tried it at the beginning, and gave up 10 seconds after.;)

Explain why.
Its a comedy programme with some music, and sound issues.
The Brothers Gibb are some of the best vocalists in musical history and I can say that with full confidence putting aside all my bias, have a listen to I Started a Joke, you were a bit hasty with you're judgement.;)

Luke the luke: that doesn't mean they were great in this clip. No way; they were terrible. I'm not argueing their catalogue...

They weren't terrible, the solos are great but Maurice (RIP) was in the wrong key for some of it, he was a growl singer with great range, great voice; the 3 part harmony is normal at the end with the right blend, it probably took a while due to the loudness, its hard to harmonize perfectly with no ears
But I did misunderstand you're comment.;)
You must see, their are many people on youtube who are completely ignorant towards the Bee Gees catalogue, clearly you aren't one of them, I apoligise.:)

Have a listen to the Bee Gees catalogue, you might get some suprise.;)
Some sound problems, Mo holding his ear to hear better, remember this was a comedy show and the Bee Gees were hosts.;)

Bee Gees don't deserve to play with the King. They suck in this video!

I have to agree with you Brutus, Can not hear the piano. The guitar amps are to loud and they are screaming the song , probably cause they can not hear themselves in the monitors.
