Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a British group made up of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. Born on the Isle of Man and in Manchester, and raised partly in Australia, they became one of the best-selling acts in pop history and the most successful sibling group of all time.

From the 1960s

After early success in Australia, they returned to England in 1967 and scored 1960s hits like “To Love Somebody” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”. Their close three-part harmony was shaped in part by the Beatles, then the center of British pop.

The disco turn

On their 1975 album Main Course, recorded in Miami at the same studio the Eagles used, Barry Gibb unveiled the falsetto that became their signature, on “Jive Talkin'”. It was a turn toward dance rhythms and high harmony that carried them into the disco era.

Saturday Night Fever

Their songs for the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, including “Stayin’ Alive”, “How Deep Is Your Love” and “Night Fever”, defined the disco era. The soundtrack sold more than 40 million copies and won five Grammys.

A record run

Barry Gibb became the only writer to pen four straight US number-one singles, equaling a chart record set by the Beatles. The group entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Maurice died in 2003 and Robin in 2012, leaving Barry to carry the legacy.
