To Love Somebody

I had no idea Janis Joplin did a version! I'll have to check it out. The bee gee's is definatley my favorite version (I am not a Michael Bolton fan and never will be). This song always made me think of a man pining for a woman that either he can't have or she doesn't notice him. Always made me kind of wish that a guy I really liked was really pining for me, and I didn't know it and somewhow it would turn out that I'd find out and we'd live happily ever after. LOL!

o man i really love this song...he sings with such emotion and feeling Great Song

I agree to pholosop30... It's just a personal song recorded by the best singers in the music story! No one should sing but Bee Gees!!

This song was originally meant to be sung by Otis Redding. Imagine how that song would have been!

Grossly overused cheap colloquiums!

"You don't know what it's like, baby, to love somebody the way I love you…"

So is he insulting his "baby" by telling (her) that she doesn't know what it's like to love somebody?

Very idiotic.

But good melody. It takes a dumb ear to enjoy it.

You should check out the Flying Burrito Brothers version Gram Parsons singing will break you heart

Saw Barry sing on Later with Jools Holland.

I think he’s saying he loves her so much that no matter how much she loves him back, he loves her more. Great expression of love.

I grew up hating the Bee Gees during their disco period, and later discovered their older music. They may have sucked later in the 70s, but man! could they write some great pop songs before that time.

This song is so good. My favorite version is the Ray Lamontagne and Damien Rice live duet.
