For the Brothers Gibb, singing in harmony is as natural as
breathing. They began performing when Barry was nine and twins Robin and Maurice
were six, singing hits of the day at a their local Manchester cinema. Since
their first American number one in 1971, the Bee Gees have written and performed
a non-stop stream of hit singles for themselves and other pop music icons in a
career spanning five decades: the 60's (1941 New York Mining Disaster,
Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, Gotta Get A Message To You, I Started A Joke,
Lonely Days, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart); the 70's (Jive Talkin' , Nights
On Broadway, Fanny, You Should Be Dancing, Stayin' Alive, Love So Right, Night
Fever, How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Tragedy, Love You Inside Out, If
I Can't Have You, Emotion, Grease); the 80's (Guilty, Woman In Love, What Kind
Of Fool, Chain Reaction, Heartbreaker, Islands in the Stream, Ordinary Lives,
One, You Win Again); the 90's (Alone, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Ghetto Supastar,
Immortality, Words) and into the new millennium with this year's highly
acclaimed album This Is Where I Came In.
