Every generation of musicians inspires the next, and in this video, one of pop’s elder statesmen witnesses an amazing tribute to his work.

No musician makes it alone; they have family, friends, collaborators, and, of course, their influences.

Keith Urban, one of today’s most successful musicians, acknowledges that everything influences him. Among the bands and artists that have profoundly impacted his sound and style are The Bee Gees, one of the most successful bands of the 60s and 70s.

While some musicians are fortunate enough to work with their inspirations directly, Urban paid tribute to The Bee Gees in a different way. He performed one of their biggest hits, “To Love Somebody,” in front of Barry Gibb, the sole surviving Bee Gee.

Released in 1967, the same year Urban was born, “To Love Somebody” holds special significance for Gibb. The pressure was on for Urban to do the song justice.

Urban’s rendition respected the signature late 60s rock-meets-orchestral sound of the original while infusing it with his own interpretation. Starting with the opening chords on his electric guitar, Urban’s flawless vocals captivated the audience, including Gibb.

As the performance progressed, Urban was joined by the band and backing singers, blending his version seamlessly with the original. The emotional climax came during the guitar solo, bringing Gibb to tears.

Encouraging the audience to sing along, Urban created a powerful moment of unity. The performance earned him a standing ovation from the entire audience.

The recording of this unforgettable performance has since become a viral sensation, garnering over 52 million views on Facebook. Fans have been moved by the emotional impact of Urban’s cover, with many expressing admiration and gratitude.

While Urban has achieved many successes in his career, few can compare to the honor of moving one of the greatest musicians of all time to tears with a cover of his own song. Who knows? Perhaps one day, another musician will perform a Keith Urban song with Urban in the audience, and he will feel honored in the same way as Gibb.
