1278193 2012-05-29 11:44:00 Yep. It's from quite a few years ago, as It was before Maurice died. I would've expected Barry to die first, but nope, Andy, Maurice, and now Robin. Andy wasn't ever officially a "Bee Gee" but was their brother, so he is a Brothers Gibb, which is what Bee Gees stand for. goodiesguy (15316)

A bit of controversy here.

"In 1958 the Gibb family, including infant brother, Andy (1958–1988), emigrated to Redcliffe in Queensland, Australia. The young brothers began performing where they could to raise pocket money. First called the Rattlesnakes, later Wee Johnny Hayes & the Bluecats, they were introduced to radio DJ Bill Gates by racetrack promoter Bill Goode (who saw them perform at Brisbane's Speedway Circuit). Gates renamed them the "Bee Gees" after his and Goode's initials – thus the name was not specifically a reference to "Brothers Gibb", despite popular belief."

Yeah, they sang a couple of songs I hadn’t heard for a very long time and a couple I don’t recall having ever heard. :o

No doubt that if there’s a Rock-n-roll Heaven they must have a hell of a band. :)

I don't like their later stuff either. I'd guess sometime in the early to mid 70's. I know that they in the sixties had songs like "The Three Kisses of Love", "Timber", "Wine & Women", "The Spicks & The Specks","New York Mining Disaster 1941" etc...
