The Music of the Bee Gees - Paperback

by Robert F. Reynolds (Author)

Three English/Australian brothers, Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, ran off a string of hit records during the late sixties. Many soon proclaimed them the second-coming of The Beatles. However, nothing prepared the music industry for what would occur a few years later when their manager asked them to write a some songs for a movie he was producing. With little more than a working movie title (Saturday Night Fever) and a generic plot, in a weekend's time at a French chalet, the Gibbs quickly wrote several modern day classics, including "How Deep is Your Love" and "Stayin' Alive." Before this run was over, the Bee Gees had scored an incredible feat of six consecutive number one records. Furthermore, younger brother Andy GIbb would achieve an unprecedented record of chart toppers with his first three records. The Music of the Bee Gees tells about the incredible story and songs the boys wrote and recorded during their storied 40+ year career. Included are discographies for each brother and for the Bee Gees, collectively.
