hi I’m Maurice Gibb I’m Barry Gibb and
I’m robbing it
and we’re the Bee Gees their music is
stayin alive
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
taking a look at the history of the Bee
Gees let’s go back a few years
oh my oh man Osmond he went up that he
was Bob live each other and in the City
Council the Bee Gees formed in the 1950s
after Barry Gibb and his brothers twins
Robin and Maurice began singing together
as boys in Manchester England they later
relocated to Queensland Australia but
continued performing and made television
appearances under the Bee Gees name
after signing to leading records in 1963
they released two albums but made no
real impact
the BG’s then tried their luck back in
England while making the trip their
single Spicks and specks topped the
Australian charts and this helped them
land a contract with Polydor records
where are the girls
with Barry playing rhythm guitar and
sharing lead vocals with Robin and
Maurice handling backup and multiple
instruments the trio kept recording in
1967 they released the psychedelic rock
album VG’s first internationally and it
cracked the UK and US top ten
that same year Massachusetts horizontal
was their first chart-topping UK hit
because 1968 I’ve got to get a message
to you duplicated that success it was
included on the American version of the
idea record 1969 was a year of change
though the group pleased critics with
their country and progressive rock
experiments on the double LP Odessa they
suffered from tensions that led to
Robin’s departure their first album
without him was a commercially
disappointing cucumber castle the trio
was back with their beautiful harmonies
on the 1970 LP two years on the next
year the album Trafalgar produced the
first American number one
how can you stop the rain
in 1972 the band showcased diverse
musical styles on to whom it may
concern’ sales for their next two albums
fizzled so the Bee Gees changed their
sound thanks to the disco influence main
course they reached the u.s. top 20 in
1975 by putting berries high-pitched
vocals to good use and incorporating R&B
into their disco sound the Bee Gees
became a household name in the US with
1976 as children of the world that LP
also gave them the chart-topping smash
you should be dancing
the Bee Gees capitalized on the disco
craze by contributing to the movie
soundtrack for 1977 Saturday Night Fever
that became one of the best-selling
soundtracks in history and produced
three number ones for the band
it’s me
they continue to rule the charts by
working with other artists including
their brother Andy the poor reception of
the film sergeant pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band did little to dampen the bee
gees achievements they had three more
American number one of 1979 a
chart-topping spirits have blown
much hard to come
I’m waiting
however the end of the 70s also meant
the end of disco though the Bee Gees had
some European success and received a
Grammy nomination for the staying alive
movie soundtrack commercial success
eluded them in the US with their 80s
albums living eyes and ESP meanwhile the
members worked on solo projects and
achieve massive success through
collaborations with stars like Barbra
Streisand and Dionne Warwick
Oh
following andis unexpected death in 1988
they reached the American top ten with
the title track from one the next year
during the early 90s they released
several compilations and the more
electronic sounding high civilization
despite health problems they found UK
chart success in 1993 with size isn’t
everything
hi
the Bee Gees return to the American top
20 thanks to 1997’s Stillwater’s later
that year their one-night-only
performance in Las Vegas kicked off a
series of tour dates that lasted until
1999 their last album as a trio was the
successful 2001 disc this is where I
came in as Maurice died from a heart
attack two years later
this is
though Bee Gees compilations were
subsequently released the brothers made
music on their own and worked with other
acts they also performed together
periodically but had to put discussions
about a reunion on hold after Robyn’s
liver cancer diagnosis in 2011 the give
brothers distinguished themselves in pop
and disco with their soulful harmonies
and vocal abilities they’ve also
triumphed by writing countless
successful singles for numerous other
artists with many Grammys and millions
in album sales it’s no surprise the Bee
Gees of influenced thousands and are one
of history’s most successful musical
acts and some be inwards on
man some me
