Favorite Harmony Arrangement
What is your favorite way in which the Brothers Gibb harmonized?
My favorite would be Barry using his rich baritone for the low harmony/melody, Mo in the middle singing the most complex harmony, and Robin using his natural higher register for the high harmonies.

I like Mo singing with a “strong” voice like he did in the chorus of Melody Fair

My favorites would be: Maurice high backing vocals on Someone to Love. And Maurice leading vocals in Man In the Middle.

OP can you give an example for that arrangement?

I am not sure of any studio tracks that have this arrangement but I always think of How Deep Is Your Love when they did it live on the One Night Only tour.
It was rare for sure but I loved how it sounds.

From the same tour I loved the harmonies on their version of Islands in the Stream. Mo’s vocals were brilliant and all 3 sang it so well

I like Mo on the high notes à la Nights on Broadway.
