The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb
The definitive biography, now updated to include the death of Robin Gibb in May 2012. The Bee Gee's journey from Fifties child act to musical institution is one of pop's most turbulent legends. Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb somehow managed to survive changing musical fashions and bitter personal feuds to create musical partnership that has already lasted four times as long as The Beatles. Described by the authors as their objective tribute, this unflinching biography chronicles everything - the good, the bad... and the bushed-up. Youthful delinquency, disastrous marriages, bitter lawsuits, gay sex scandals, serious drug problems and the death of younger brother Andy have sometimes made the p...
Tragedy
The rollercoaster careers of the brothers Gibb – Barry, Robin, Maurice and younger brother Andy – is perhaps the greatest saga in Australian music history. The Bee Gees as a group, and the brothers individually, enjoyed several rebirths over careers that spanned many decades, but it seemed that tragedy followed them at every turn. For every incredible career high there seemed to be a hefty personal downside: divorce, drunkenness and early death are as synonymous with the Gibbs as falsetto harmonies, flares and multi-platinum selling records. This is the story of the brothers’ incredible careers and an examination of the Gibb ‘curse’ – an all-too-human look at the yin and yang of fame. This edition is a re-issue of the original 2015 book entitled: Tragedy - the Sad Ballad of the Gibb Brothers.
The Bee Gees
The first narrative biography of the Bee Gees, the phenomenally popular vocal group that has sold more than 200 million records worldwide -- sales in the company of the Beatles and Michael Jackson. The Bee Gees is the epic family saga of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, and it's riddled with astonishing highs—especially as they became the definitive band of the disco era, fueled by Saturday Night Fever and crashing lows, including the tragic drug-fueled downfall of youngest brother, Andy. In recent years, a whole new generation of fans has rediscovered the undeniable grooves and harmonies that made the Bee Gees and songs like Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, To Love Somebody, and I Started a Joke timeless.
The Bee Gees in the 1960s
In April 1967, the Bee Gees launched themselves onto the international music scene with the release of ‘New York Mining Disaster 1941’. Whilst that haunting classic would be the first of many hits, the Bee Gees consisting of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb had been releasing records since 1963. As extraordinary as it sounds, with more than ten years of performing and four years of recording behind them, the Gibb twins, Robin and Maurice, were just seventeen while elder brother Barry was only twenty. In an incredible career the Bee Gees would go on to sell over 200 million records, making them among the best\-selling music artists of all time, they would be inducted into the Rock a...
Bee Gees
The Bee Gees are an Australian-British pop group formed by three of the Gibb brothers: Barry and the twins Robin and Maurice. Their total record sales over their entire careers are estimated at 220 million, making them one of the largest record sellers. During their 40-year career, we can distinguish two distinct periods of success: the pop of the late 1960s with songs such as Massachusetts, Words, I Started a Joke, I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You . . . a period during which Robin and Barry were equally important as singers, and the disco of the late 1970s with titles such as Staying Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Night Fever, Tragedy. . . At that time, Barry became the lead singer. They will then reach the pinnacle of success and popularity. After that, Les Bee Gees will release new albums again during the 1980s and 1990s with new songs such as You Win Again, One, Alone. . . Barry sings solo with a falsetto voice that appeared in the disco years, Robin gives a clear vibrato and Maurice sings high or low harmonies. The three brothers wrote almost all of their songs, claiming to feel like one person when working together.
