I Started A Joke: The Voice of Robin Gibb Through The Years (Fan-made Video Compilation)

Hello Robin Gibb Fan Nation!

We all know that the voice of our legendary Songbird/Singer/Songwriter and our Bee Gee Robin Gibb really catches our feelings especially his iconic vibrato. We can't avoid to cry while we feel his song just like the third content I am featuring right now- I Started A Joke from the album "Idea", released as a single last December 1968. This is the last Bee Gees single to feature Vince Melouney's guitar work, as he left the band in early December after this song was released as a single.

Facts about this song:
-According to him, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board of an aeroplane.
-This song is all about someone who has done or said something horribly wrong, which resulted in alienating everyone around him. It's a great example of lyrical songwriting, and very much a love-it-or-hate-it song. With the opening line, "I started a joke, which started the whole world crying," followed with "I started to cry, which set the whole world laughing," the song can be heard as achingly poignant or overly sentimental. (Songfacts Website)
- He told during the interview that I Started A Joke is a very spiritual song. The listeners have to interpret it themselves – trying to explain it would detract from the song. (The Mail, 1st of November 2009)

During his final day (May 20, 2012), his son RJ played the song on phone just after his father died from kidney failure. He said during the interview on The Sun: "When he passed away we went out, they took the equipment away and we came back in, I picked up my phone and found "I Started a Joke" on YouTube and played it. I put the phone on his chest and that was the first time I broke down. I knew that song and its lyrics were perfect for that moment. That song will always have new meaning to me now."

Year 2017- RJ sang his father's song and it was included on the album Gibb Collective: Please Don't Turn Out The Lights by M.E.G. Productions.

I hope you will enjoy this fan-made video (and I include some scenes with his brothers: Barry and Maurice and a bonus video from Barry's Mythology Tour 2014 when Robin appears on screen). God bless and stay safe.
