The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958. Their line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success; as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. They wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Their turn to being disco superstars has really colored their legacy. That era is awesome, but Trafalgar and Odessa are ambitious and excellent and a world away.
Heard this album for the first time last week and it's such great lite-psychedelic pop. They really could do so many things.
I feel like a lot of people in our generation are in that same boat, meanwhile my dad’s eyes bugged out when I told him I didn’t know those early hits.
