A little bit of Bee Gees trivia for you.
Although the song is called Massachusetts,
it was written right here in New York City.
Did you know that?
Could have been called New York City,
but it was called Massachusetts.
Became the Bee Gees' first number one record in England.
Robin, question for you, Robin.
When you found out that was your first number one record,
what went through your mind?
Wow, this is our first number one record. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Did it change how you saw yourself and your brothers in the business?
Because now you were, I guess, legit.
Yeah, well, obviously when you get your first number one,
it's an incredible feeling.
And you're not sure you're going to get another one.
And remember, we were still teenagers at the time.
We still are.
Still are teenagers.
_ _ _ But _ so is our audience, which is fantastic.
It was actually a double thing.
We were told it was number one,
and actually it ended up being number two,
and the following week it went to number one.
So you got it twice then.
So we got it twice, yeah.
Shall we take another phone call?
Let's take another phone call.
This is Billy from Louisville, Kentucky.
Hey, Billy, how are you?
Hey, how you doing?
Hi, Billy.
Hey, Billy, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Billy, what's your last name?
_ Joel.
Billy Joel, ladies and gentlemen. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ How you doing, Billy?
What you doing, Bill?
Billy.
Yeah, how you doing, guys?
Pretty good, how you doing?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Elton and I just did a gig last night,
and we're still in Louisville, Kentucky.
Fantastic.
We knew you were on tour.
Yeah.
Hey, Robin, before I ask you for your song,
I got a question for you.
Right.
Now, you used to live right near me on Lloyd Neck.
Yeah, I came to your house, and we sat at the piano.
Yeah, well, I remember that,
but all the time I was gone on the road,
and you weren't on the road,
and my first wife was still living at the house.
That's right.
No, no, no. _ _
I knew you were going to bring that up, Billy.
_ I knew you were going to bring that up,
but nothing happened, Bill, I can assure you.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
No, it was me, Billy.
Okay.
_ Okay.
I just saw that. _
They're twins, Billy.
Twins.
Okay.
Well, actually, I have a request.
_ I loved you guys, you know, really, really early on.
This was from back in 1967,
which was _ _ referred to forevermore as the summer of love,
was the year I was supposed to graduate from high school.
_ At least you went to high school.
There was so much good music coming out right then,
and _ _ the song that I'm asking you guys to do,
if you will do it, if you'll be so kind,
is To Love Somebody.
Absolutely.
_ Thank you, Billy, we'll do that.
Okay, guys.
Take care, Bill.
Thanks for calling.
Give my love to Elton.
Take care.
Okay.
I'd like to dedicate also this song to my daughter, Alexandra. _
_ See you tomorrow, sweetheart.
I love you. _ _
