To Love Somebody is one Bee Gees song shown as being written by Barry and Robin Gibb, yet some releases of the song by other artists add Maurice's name to the writing credits. Redding's death in a plane crash took place in December of that year. Redding was still living when the Bee Gees's own version had been recorded and released as a single in the summer of '67. Boomer from Oklahoma City, OkActually, To Love Somebody isn't the song that was intended for Otis Redding, but another Bee Gees song titled End Of My Song (offcially unreleased by the Bee Gees but has been available on bootlegs).Other Bee Gee songs in this film were "In the Morning", "Melody Fair", "Give Your Best", and "First of May". All songs for this film were by the Bee Gee's except "Teach Your Children" which was by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It was about puppy love between two pre-teens and how they ran away to get married. Tyler from Waterbury, Ct"To Love Somebody" was in the 1971 British film "Melody" (U.S.) "S.W.A.L.K." (UK) starring the famous child actors Mark Lester, Jack Wild, and Tracy Hyde.Rick from Belfast, MeA good song.why wasn't the song "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights'" included here?.as the song says."lonely days, lonely nights, where would I be without my woman?".a true classic.I think early B0lton sounded a lot like Foreigner or Rainbow (Joe Lynn Turner era). What's interesting was that Bolton started off playing hard rock. Don from Sevierville, TnMichael Bolton also recorded this song.Played a little slower makes it even more beautiful than it already is. is, IMHO, better than the studio recording. Enrique from Lima, -The live version of this song that appears in the album HERE AT LAST.Maurice (1949 - 2003), Robin (1949 - 2012), and Barry will celebrate his 68th birthday this coming September 1st, 2014. Two other tracks from the album also made the Top 100 "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (peaked at #14) and "Holiday" (reached #16). Was track three of side two on the trio's third studio album, "The Bee Gees' 1st", and the album peaked at #7 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. It reached #6 in Australia and #9 in Canada. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn July 9th 1967, "To Love Somebody" by the Bee Gees entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #79 and on August 20th, 1967 it peaked at #17 (for 1 week) and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100.They'd been trying to write songs in which people living in the US had known. If you doubt it, try to check where those ideas of their big hit songs in 60' came from. I also think that they thought it was very disadvantage for them to make a big hit in the US at that time and was not difficult for them to use that way to make a hit. Because they were not form US or UK, but from Australia. I think that it was one of the Bee Gees' strategy that they used to use at that time. Kawa from Tokyo, JapanI think that the first idea of the lyrics of the song, To Love Somebody, came form the tittle of the song, Somebody To Love, by Jefferson Airplane, Because its tittle is very similar to Jefferson's.After all, isn't the challenge or even the prerequisite for a cover is to surpass the original? Growing up as a teenager in the 90s, I could not just forget such cover and be convinced that Bee Gees first sang it. Romanong Kurong from PhilippinesMichael Bolton's version in the 1990s is a soulful rendition.Arthur from New JerseyThe Bee Gees performed the song with Helen Reddy on "The Midnight Special.".Tom from U.s.In an interview The Bee Gees stated that the song was written for Otis so it’s more than legend.Kawa from Tokyo: You make a fair point &, yes, definitely a clever idea if it was the reason. I love them both! & 'most everything in between. Compare this soulful ballad with the bopping Stayin' Alive. George from Vancouver, CanadaLove, love, LOVE the Beegees - such range.Steven Phillips from MaineOne of the greatest songs ever written.very JJ! I could only tell the song by the chords. Peter In Ma from BostonI have heard this song by 3 entertainers: the Bee Gees, Keith Urban.very soulful as a tribute to BGs.and Janis Joplin.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: Royalty Network, Songtrust Ave, Universal Music Publishing Group Writer/s: Barry Alan Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb
