How Did I Never Hear This Bee Gees..........................

song. Fanny Be Tender With My Love.  I thought I had heard every song the Bee Gees did.

 

It was done in 1975 and they rarely sang it live because of the complexity. I believe it was Robin Gibbs that said they liked the song but it was a bi*ch to sing.

 

If you can view it on You Tube.

 

Hanging my head in shame I never heard it before.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I just watched them sing it on YouTube. I had never heard it either. To say it was difficult is an understatement. It is a beautiful song, and I will watch it again.

 

Thank you for letting us know the song existed. Like so many other things from my younger days, I miss The Bee Gees. They were such gifted songwriters and performers.

@On It   Glad you enjoyed it.  Also it is nice to know I wasn't the only person who hadn't heard it before.

 

Those voices are magic.

@On It   I forgot to add that Fanny was a housekeeper where the Bee Gees were staying.  They decided they needed a woman's name in the song and either Robin or Maurice turned around and saw Fanny.

I remember that song!  Didn't realize it was a BeeGees number, though.

I'm surprised you've never heard it. Was very popular back in the day and one of

my favorites by the Bee Gees.

Glad you brought it up. I enjoyed the youtube video...and that's an interesting fact

about the housekeeper.  Never heard that before.

OMG its i think my favorite BGs song.  It was hugely popular when it came out.  Musically it is brilliant.

Thank you! A few years ago I was in the supermarket and heard it being played. I hadn't heard it in a dogs age. I was singing along enjoying it and I thought to myself, "Wow, if I didn't hear this song; I would have never thought about it ever again in my lifetime."

When I got home; I told my husband about hearing a Bee Gee's song that I never would have remembered in my lifetime. So that statement is definitely true!  For the life of me; I couldn't remember the tune, the lyrics, or the song title itself. It's been making me insane all this time 😜...until I read your post. Thanks again!
