When Barry Gibb asked Samantha Gibb to go on stage with him to play some of her father’s greatest hits during his 2014 Mythology Tour, it was an incredible moment.
Despite being one of the most well-known singing families in the world, Barry Gibb still gets emotional when he sees the younger members of the Bee Gees perform live.
In 2014, Barry Gibb embarked on his first solo tour, Mythology, with his son Stephen and niece Samantha accompanying him instead of his well-known brothers.
A video commemorates the event with Samantha Gibb performing a stunning rendition of the 1987 hit song “You Win Again,” just two years after Robin Gibb passed away in 2012 and eleven years after her father Maurice Gibb passed away in 2003.
An audience member in Philadelphia captured a video of Samantha singing the famous lyrics to the Bee Gees song while wearing a black singlet and having short hair on stage.
The video cuts to Barry Gibb sipping water in the background while the little performer continues, looking pleased to see his niece take center stage.
Barry smiles to himself as he joyfully watches Samantha take the stage while the camera keeps recording, singing along to the song’s lyrics.
Samantha Gibb’s performance of “You Win Again” is particularly noteworthy for multiple reasons, but other videos from the tour feature her performing “Stayin’ Alive” with Barry and his son Stephen, as well as a lovely duet of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” with her uncle.
‘You Win Again’ was recorded in Maurice’s garage, possibly even with a young Samantha listening. It is widely considered the Bee Gees’ ‘comeback’ song, as it was their first hit in nearly eight years.
Utilizing a brand-new drum program that Maurice and producer Rhett Lawrence created, “You Win Again” was innovative and appeared to be one of Maurice’s favorite songs; the star frequently discussed its unique sound in interviews.
The Bee Gee described ‘You Win Again’ as a perfect illustration of the brother’s ability to work with others in a 2001 interview with Mojo magazine: “When we get together and write it’s not like three individuals, it’s like one person in the room,” he said.
“Usually, we just choose one title from a book of titles. We didn’t know how ‘You Win Again’ would work as a song, but I thought it was a great title. I recorded stomps and other things, and it turned out to be a large demo in my garage.
“On it, there was only one drum. All that remained were sounds. Everyone then made an effort to dissuade us from the initial stomps. They were against it. Remove it. It’s too loud! Could they only appear as the music begins, rather than during the intro? “All of this stuff,” he added.”But you know it’s us as soon as you hear that ‘jabba-doomba, jabba-doomba’ on the radio. It’s an indication. That’s one small secret, so let folks know who it is automatically.”
Samantha explained that it began when she and her partner Lazaro chose to cover “New York Mining Disaster 1941.” “We thought it would be really cool to do more of it because we loved how it turned out.”
“We’ve wanted to honor my dad and my uncles for a very long time. We began reaching out because it seemed like the proper time, and we spoke with everyone.
“Everyone chose to perform a rendition of a song that they loved. The next thing we knew we had a 10 song album”.
