Yes, "Deeply Deeply Me", which you will find in the 2006 reissue of
Horizontal.
A heated discussion has broken out, off this list, about who is singing the
lead vocal, the parts with lyrics. Is it Barry or Robin? I think we need
some more ears that are well attuned to the Gibb Brothers experience. Would
anyone care to give it a fresh listen and share an opinion?
I can't believe we've got a song where veteran fans cannot tell B and R
apart. But the singer is deliberately putting on a strange voice.

Initially I thought it was Robin, but after some further listening I started to think it could be Barry. Very difficult with some of those early 1966-67 recordings to tell the difference between B&R vocals, in spite of different voices. Not to mention all
I'll split the baby and say they are trading lead vocals.

Subject: Re: Deeply Deeply Me
Having heard that song once, ages ago, it had not yet occurred to me to
ever listen to it a second time.
But, since you ask...
I listened here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_LtKH4eVHtk
I mention this in case, Lord help us, there is more than one version of
this.
It is a demo, and multitracked voices can't be entirely ruled out. Having
said that, I'm ruling them out.
And yet, at about the 1:05 mark on the above link, the titular phrase
sounds double tracked. So... that is Barry and Robin singing "Deeply
deeply" etc. in unison.
Prior to that is Robin singing a verse. No one else could possibly be that
elaborately annoying.
Until we hit the next verse, which smacks us hard at 1:40, we have the two
brothers (Barry and Robin) compete in trading annoying whiny warbles
between themselves, like kids on a school bus. If I were the bus driver, I
would have pulled over at that point.
At 1:40, the second verse begins. Robin wouldn't be this subdued and
musical. It's Barry, sounding more bluesy in ending his phrases.
From 2:19 forward, Barry dominates the brothers' two part unison whining
till the song's end. It would make,a great ringtone for Scooter's friends,
if they still called.
Last summer, week after week, people with an odd accent would call me and
ask if Scooter was here. I would always patiently tell them it was the
wrong number, I've never known anyone named Scooter. It was the sort of
accent that rarely exists out of certain Monty Python routines. But the
calls continued.
It would be a perfect ringtone for Scooter's friends. I would know by that
ringtone to pry the battery out of my phone and carry on.
I hope this clears things up.

long ago in NYC

Wow, never ever thought Barry was singing with Rob on this. I'm with
others, they are probably singing in unison, but I think Rob's vocals are
pushed further to the front. I bet there are others.

Forget that song existed let alone Barry was singing on it. Was nice listening to it again after all these years.
Thanks for the post!

Where is the discussion going on? Perhaps others would like to get into the
discussion 'there'?
