Night Fever, Jive Talking, Seven Seas Symphony, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, More Than A Woman, etc., and I also skated to some of these songs at a skating rink back in the 1990s as kid.
It's crazy how he was stunningly handsome then and he is still stunningly handsome now even tho time has went by it seems like the more time went by the more he got that Benjamin button they all look stunningly good in there older years I wouldn't have mind lol
When Robin did temporarily quit in 1969 he recorded an absolutely superb LP called 'Sing slowly sisters' and it's so sad he never saw it receive the acclaim it deserved during his lifetime.
Neil Supernaut - Robin's first solo album ever was "Robin's Reign", which was released in February of 1970 (I believe). "Sing Slowly Sisters" wasn't released back then, even though it was recorded in April of 1970.
@@joeyricci3796 Later they said that this break was not bad. Barry said that after that they were men, before it they were not really grown up. And while Robin made his own music, Barry and Maurice still performed songs as the Bee Gees. Songs like "Don't forget to remember"
@@_germanikus_ Sometimes it's hard to separate fact from fiction with the Gibb boys. They are not reliable reporters of their own lives. Barry also said he never forgave Robin for leaving the band. I imagine that like most of us their memories are tied to their current mood and circumstances. I don't think they any of them were really hard liars and they never were self- aggrandizing in their not-quite-in-line-with-reality recollections. I cast no stones though because the first memory I have (and it's very clear) did not happen.
@@beeharbour so funny you point this out.....b/c idk how many interviews i've seen and one time Barry got his guitar on his 9th birthday and another time he got it for his 9th Christmas.......like you idthink they're lying i just think sometimes our memories do play tricks on us......esp as we age!!! lol
Thank you to all the Brothers Gibb for the wonderful music, much of which is absolutely heavenly. Keep on trucking, Barry! We love & respect you as a great big brother, musician, songwriter, & family man. God bless you & your family!❤❤❤
RIP: Andy Gibb (March 5th,1958- March 10th,1988) Hugh Gibb (January 15th,1916- March 6th,1992) Maurice Gibb (December 22nd,1949- January 12th,2003) Robin Gibb (December 22nd,1949- May 20th,2012) Barbara Gibb (November 17th,1920- August 12th,2016) Keep going,Barry and Lesley. Your brothers and parents are with you in spirit.
No they didn't but it's commonly stated otherwise. Andy was never going to be in the Bee Gees if only because Robin and Maurice would have to have been idiots to have allowed it. The battles about lead vocals was a gigantic issue from day 1. Andy was going to sing some leads as well I would imagine. Why would the twins want mini-Barry to join when they were already unhappy with a number of things that went on in the band that would be made worse by Andy' presence and Barry's frequent statement that he liked Andy better than his other two brothers. I don't suppose there is any reason to buy this tale since I'm sure I have nothing much to offer but other 3rd parties who may not have been any more reliable than the ones you have access to. It makes perfect sense though. In any case even Barry said Andy needed to be clean before the matter would even consider joining the band. At least in theory he was still moving along with a new solo album. It is a bit odd to me that he was with Robin to pretend to write songs when you'd have expected he would more likely been with Barry. They had such success with Andy's first album that would seem logical. As well, Barry didn't really trust Robin to do a blessed thing right and he was probably correct in the sense that I'd guess Robin was not as stern a taskmaster as Barry would have been. Robin had not been clean long himself. It might not have been the best idea to send a very active addict to live with an ex-addict still very much in a precarious spot himself.
@@beeharbour Your argument makes perfect sense. In every family I've ever known there were personalities that conflicted which is fine. Just don't anyone outside get involved because all hell would break loose and it would be the entire family against the outsider.
@@beeharbour you are wrong, Barry said it himself that Andy was going to join The Bee Gees. You can find it in the documentary “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart.”
Yea I agree parts are tragic but it's relatable tragedy, they had fame to continue moving them forward. Where as average families wouldn't. However they worked their rears off and earned I admire they're consistently overcoming. Shine On!!
As all lifes... happyness and sadness , high and down ...very human ...but real LEGENDS ! I miss them even having still the great Barry and the ' collective "👏🌹
I agree with this. While I found I could sympathize deeply with Barry and find solace with his story - as I buried both my brothers at 44 and 63 and both my parents are gone - at least Barry has a lovely wife and five kids and grandkids and more money than he can ever spend in many lifetimes. He is very blessed. I am too as I have a wonderful husband, two grown boys and an awesome grandson. Most will have tragic lives, if they should live long enough. BTW, he still has a sister, right? So he has a sibling left. Has he made peace with her? At 74 he is probably also mourning his past fantastic career. What a life he must have lived!
The most tragic part is that we allow ourselves to think happiness might actually last. A laughing person is the only thing more tragic than a crying person.
Also when Barry was two years old, he tried to reach a pot of hot tea his mother has just made and poured it on himself, he was in a comma for, I think a couple of hours, and had to stay in the hospital por months. The scars are visible on his chest
We may see & mention as this video did the tragic passing of most of them BUT the in-betweens of their lives were so rich & enormously successful that they were experiences we can only fancy & dream of.
Handy Manny - Barry stole a car at 11 and was on probation. Robin was the firebug who specialized in burning down billboards but also burned down an abandoned house. Barry didn't decide to straightened out their lives. The Manchester police did and suggested they take advantage of a labor shortage and cheap fare and move to Australia.
I admired and respected them even more after seeing this show. They stayed for the length of the interview in large part so didn’t disappoint the audience. They answered his questions with humor and humility. Anderson clearly crossed the line, multiple times. In my opinion they each handled him in their own way and with class and dignity.
@@Diana-gn8rp In some few photos there is a pretty good resemblance but mostly Andy looked like a less handsome Barry. Still a good looking man though.
There are lots of errors in this report starting with failing to mention that Robin learned arson from his big brother Barry and it was Barry's car theft charge that got the family the invitation to leave England and to do so promptly. I don't say that to criticize Barry at all; the family saw a lot of very rough times. While in Australia Barry skipped an entire year of school without Ma and Pa Gibb even noticing; I kind of admire him for that.
In an interview I saw Robin described how their dad was away much of the time photographing families that lived in remote areas of Australia. He also told about how their mom wasn’t feeling well at that time, having to spend a lot of time resting in bed. With financial struggles and living away from extended family, those years must have been really difficult. For their parents anyway - the kids had each other and seemed to thrive for the most part.
What Sir Barry is using marijuana before? How did he quit from smoking and using drugs? Sir Barry Gibb was the sole surving brother of the Bee Gees because he has giving the second chance of his life and also he is the last standing man. Special thanks to the Gibb Family for sharing the video and their stories as well. God bless and greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭 😇🙏🙏🙏
It is an interesting and compelling story but yes, everyone in life has some tragedy. I think the rags to riches thing is very enticing but mainly their humility and honesty about how things were is very enlightening. Robin is hard to read, can be very vulnerable and seemingly kind and also cutting and downright rude in some videos I have seen. Barry was the alpha and probably pushed his weight around a lot. Maurice seems to be the most fun of the three, does not say a lot but can be hilarious. So many years later people are just as fascinated now as back then. I wish they were all here.
Nunca ví un vídeo de Robin donde fuera grosero, en realidad quien hablaba más era Barry, manejaba siempre la situación, ví muchas entrevistas de Robin con sus hermanos y solo, los que eran groseros eran los periodistas, que los criticaban por su etapa de la música disco, el nunca contesto de mala manera, si he visto a Barry enojarse cuando le han tocado este tema, y tiene toda la razón.
Calling robin a “delinquent” is just rude. He might have made wrong choices when he was younger, but he still had a heart. I think we should just leave him alone
@@theresabrown1272 it was intended as a put down to all the people who post videos saying that these peoples lives are tragic. I have a hard time believing that all rich celebrities have "tragic" lives. Maybe some do but not as many as these videos would make us believe. They have all the money in the world. Everybody goes through trials and tribulations in life but "tragic?" I don't think so. There are hundreds of videos on celebrities that use the word " tragic" which makes me think that maybe its a bad idea to be a rich celebrity because my life will end up tragic....i just don't believe it....maybe we're all better off without having money...i'm as poor as a snake but i wouldn't say my life was "tragic"...so if we are to believe what the videos tell us, i'm comforted to know that my life is better than these celebrities' lives and i wouldn't want to be them....its like "thank God i don't own the world" like they do....
@@theresabrown1272 Mo's death was tragic & complicated. There's a news article that recounts events leading to his death...you can Google it. Very heart-breaking.
Maurice's death had absolutely nothing to do with past drinking. As a matter of fact there was a settlement out of court against the hospital for malpractice.
@kathleendewey5347 True, Mo registered under an alias, so he was ignored, misdiagnosed, told he must wait for a specific doctor...well, his twisted intestine ruptured releasing massive amounts of bacteria into his bloodstream, causing the "heart attack" during emergency surgery, life-saving equipment was floors away & arrived way too late. A medical professional commented had Mo managed to survive, brain damage & loss of his digestive system were almost certain. So, at the bitter end, maybe Fate did show some mercy to poor Mo.
I loved thebee gees. The disco days hurt them pretty bad but as they said at 1 time they didnt do it purposely !! Robin was my fav but they all was great !! Im proud to of been around in there time of fame !!
We work so hard to enjoy life..After all fame and fortune, they died too young in a way. Alcohol, drug, suffering..Is it another sex, drug, fame formula? I didnt know BG's dark side. They made so beautiful and lovely songs. 'Too much heaven" gosh thats so beautiful love ballade.
The only reason the government wants to criminalize cannabis because they're struggling to get their share of the profit. It's beneficial for so many different ailments from Glaucoma, anxiety , muscle spasticity in MS patients, help chemo patients as well as Ca patients.
That’s a matter of opinion. I prefer Barry’s voice. Technically musically in some way Robin’s is better not sure, I’m not a music scholar. Barry sings falsetto and that’s not his real vocal range. He realized he could sing it and so he does. He started singing falsetto because he liked the R&B sound and many R&B groups in the 70’s had a falsetto in their group. I love R&B music from the 70’s
@@reneehicks4629 I agree with you. Preference is a matter of opinion rather than fact but Barry’s range was greater, from baritone through to falsetto and I find Robin’s extreme vibrato irritating. Interestingly it was Robin that pushed Barry to use his falsetto feeling that it increased record sales. Barry has since said he felt it was overused.
According to Robin, with whom he was living at the time, Andy was falling down drunk everyday. He had knocked out his front teeth in that manner. Both Barry and Maurice suffered some sense of guilt because their last conversations with Andy had turned somewhat harsh owing to his drunkenness on the phone.
That's what I have always wondered? Can't feel sorry for Barry losing on of his siblings when it sound like he has a sister he is not even acknowledging. These guys lived a charmed life and Barry still does.
Don't idealize these people. Andy had a daughter that he threw away. Robin did creepy stuff with the creep Dwina and that gross Asian housekeeper. Robin had a supposed "love child" that was far from "love." All BS. Robin's daughter by asian housekeeper looks like she has down syndrome. Robin's supposed "wife" Dwina is totally insane. It's all BS. The brothers had a second sister that mysteriously vanished to never be heard of again. The father Hugh and Andy mention this 2nd sister on the Mike Douglas show. Three out of four (3/4) of the brothers die prematurely. Maurice was an alcoholic and abusive.
