    What do you think your greatest achievement is? “My family, my children, my grandchildren, you know, because that’s real” ❤️ I totally understand.

    I don’t care if this band was years before my time this is real music. The Bee Gees and Earth, Wind & Fire are two of my all time favorite bands.

  • @susancobb901
    What a kind and humble man, no ego with him. Doesn't consider himself the living legend we all know he is.
  • Barry is such a beautiful man. No ego, only pure talent.

    Bless him. Even in the most emotional of moments, he was not mean to the interviewer. He remained kind and humble.
  • @R0n8urgundy
    This mans contribution to music is criminally underrated.
  • @TheSkull698
    It’s September 2023 and this is the first time seeing this. Such incredibly talented brothers with three tragically taken far too soon. Thankfully their music will live on forever…
