Bee Gees

One of the Most Successful Music Acts of All Time!

The Bee Gees have been incredibly successful, selling in excess of 180 million records and singles worldwide. All three Bee Gees, frequent lead vocalist Barry Gibb and the twins, co-lead vocalist Robin Gibb and keyboardist/guitarist Maurice Gibb, were born in the Isle of Man in the 1940s. The group was successful for all of its forty years and in the public's mind, they defined the sound of disco. They sang tight three-part harmonies that were natural and infectious, and their sound was instantly recognizable. The Bee Gees' overwhelming success rose and sank with the disco bubble. By the end of the 70s, disco was rapidly declining in popularity, and the backlash against disco put The Bee Gees' American career in a holding pattern until 1989. However, their international popularity sustained less damage. Their song "How Deep Is Your Love" is their most popular with over 400 versions by other artists in existence. It has been played over 5 million times on air in the U.S. alone.
