The celebrated Bee Gees were formed by Barry Gibb and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice Gibb in the late fifties. These three gave their first performances in Manchester as a band under various titles. In 1958, their family moved to Australia, where they continued their music activities. By that time, Barry had already mastered song writing skills, while the band had finally taken up the Bee Gees name. Their first public fame came to them after a performance at one of the local TV shows. In four years, big stars in Australia, the brothers released their debut single The Battle of Blue and Green. They produced their first Australian LP The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs in 1965. Bee Gees were considered one of the leading artists in Australia, yet almost absolutely unknown abroad. In 1967, the brothers came back to England and added instrumentalists Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen to the lineup. Their first English single, New York Mining Disaster 1941 (1967), reached Top 20 in the UK and the USA. The song was prominent for its perfect melodiousness and hard-to-get lyrics, both creating a very specific mood. The following singles, Holiday, and To Love Somebody, were written in the same vein. All of them were featured on the long player Bee Gees' 1st (1967), one of the ten best albums in the UK and the USA. It was followed by another successful release, Horizontal, containing the single Massachusetts running first in the British charts.

Later, Bee Gees decided to record a live album called Masterpeace, but worked hard enough to produce the magnificent double CD Odessa, considered the best rock album in their entire discography. However, the process of its creation ended with a conflict between the members of the group as they had failed to agree which song to release as a single. Robin concluded that Maurice and Barry had made a plot against him, and quit the band in 1969. He did not participate in recording the following Cucumber Castle, featuring the smash Don’t Forget To Remember. In 1970, the brothers left all hard feelings behind and reunited, which resulted in the LP 2 Years On with the super hit Lonely Days. The next albums, Trafalgar, and To Whom It May Concern, left much to be desired. Obviously, Bee Gees needed something to change. Therefore, they went to another studio to make a different sort of music. The outcome was the rhythm-and-blues album Mr. Natural, welcomed warmly by both audience and critics. Shortly after, they recorded Main Course, their first album to feature elements of dance music.

In the late seventies, Bee Gees recorded the soundtrack to the Saturday Night Fever movie, symbolizing their complete and utter shift to disco. This release met numerous enthusiastic reviews, and so did the following Spirits Have Flown. Soon, however, this music faded away, which affected the Bee Gees popularity. For a long period, their main occupation was writing for other artists, until they came back with the E.S.P album, released in 1987, to favor of the audience. The band’s last good seller was the 1989 album, One. Later, Bee Gees produced unremarkable works, which forced them to take a break. In 1997, they released Still Waters and were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the same day. In 2003, Maurice Gibb suddenly died. Afterwards, his brothers, Barry and Robin, carried on music activities on a separate basis and gave joint performances only at rare events.

Bee Gees – Greatest (Special Edition) [2007]

The Bee Gees were a British singing group consisting of three brothers: Barry Gibb and twins Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb. Not only were they successful in their own right, with seven Grammys to their name, their body of work has been re-interpreted by a huge variety of other artists, from Elvis and Dolly Parton to Billy Corgan and Feist. Of their 35 albums, 200 million copies have been sold, and most have hit the UK and US charts.

Though they were born on the Isle of Man, they had emigrated to Australia by the time Robin and Maurice were nine years old, in 1958. Even from a young age the brothers were singing together in harmony. By 1960 they were singing on television shows and in 1963 they secured a record deal. Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs was released in 1965 and proved to be a minor success, with 'Spicks and Specks' hitting No.1 in Australia.

In 1966 they returned to Britain, intending to capitalize on the burgeoning music scene of the time. By the following year they were on Top of the Pops having released Bee Gees First and finding success with the singles 'New York Mining Disaster 1941', 'Holiday' and 'To Love Somebody'. Within a year they had released three albums and had six hit singles, but the release of their two disc Odessa was a stress too far for the brothers and they split for 15 months.

In 1971, the reunited Bee Gees had a US No.1 with 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?', and then 'Run to Me' was a UK Top 10 hit. But soon the band felt themselves stuck in a rut, unsure of which direction to take next. They moved to the United States and tried soul music, and then got interested in the burgeoning disco scene. Main Course (1975) was a minor hit, and 'Jive Talkin' topped the Hot 100, encouraging the Bee Gees that disco was the way to go. 'You Should Be Dancing' was another chart-topper as Children of the World (1976) further established the Bee Gees pop-disco credentials.

Their fame went through the roof when they were heavily featured on the Saturday Night Fever (1977) soundtrack. Three of the Bee Gees' songs from it all went to No.1 in the US, and the film itself was a huge hit. The album sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest-selling LPs ever, but the decline of the disco era marked a similar decline in the fortunes of the Bee Gees, though they were by no means 'washed-up'. They continued to release albums into the 80s and 90s and they also wrote and produced songs for other artists.

Their last album was This Is Where I Came In (2001). Two years later, Maurice died and the spirit of the group died with him, despite initial protestations that they would soldier on without him. Since then, Barry and Robin have continued to work independently, and with other artists. ---amazon.com
