Sharing yet another song for today’s Song Saturday challenge. The Bee Gees were a favorite of mine. I loved many of their songs. This was probably my favorite. The drum parts on here are so cool.
The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958. Their lineup consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Australia.
After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees, they returned to the UK in January 1967, when their producer began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best selling artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The Bee Gees are the third most successful band in billboard charts history after The Beatles and The Surpremes.
Following Maurice’s death in January 2003 at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group’s name after 45 years of activity. In 2009, Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. Robin died in May 2012, aged 62, after a prolonged struggle with cancer and other health problems, leaving Barry as the only surviving member of the group
Hope you enjoy this one.

Great song pick. Great group! What a talented group of brothers and they could work together and get along. That’s fantastic! There will never be another group like them. The brother in the middle? All of the guys could sing well, but his voice? He was unbelievable! I loved him!
Thanks and always good to see you. I love this song. Yes, the middle one was Andy, tragically died of an overdose at age 30.
Actually Andy was the baby brother and he was not a part of the group. He had a solo career. He was a teenage heartthrob. I know because I used to read all of the teen magazines that had his pictures in them. LOL.
Barry is the oldest brother and the other two are twins, Maurice and Robin. Robin is the one who had an awesome set of pipes. He died of cancer. Andy was a drug addict and he tried to break the habit. But he got sick and his body was so weakened from the drug abuse that he didn’t have the strength to recover, even though he tried.
Their bio notes are in Wikipedia. But I kept up with those guys long before Wikipedia. I loved the Bee Gees!
Thank you for correcting me, you are so right! I am still a fan after all these years.
My parents are a fan and so am I.
That is nice to know, thanks for commenting.
I always loved the songs of the Bee Gees, thanks.
Me too Pam, you are so welcome.
great group, great song, great sadness.
the first brother to go was their little brother Andy.
Yes it was very sad. They left some great music behind.
they really did, great choice!
I might have listened to many of their songs including this one which I have watched but I’m not sure.
The memorable one I know and I have it in my phone is How Deep is Your Love?
Yes that is another favorite. So many good ones it was hard to decide what to share.
Huge fan of Bee Gees! : )
