The Bee Gees' career record sales total more than 220 million ranking them among the best-selling music artists of all time. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with 'Spicks and Specks' (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.īorn on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their music careers. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a rock act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. 1967 - 1968 - The Studio Albums - (6 Disc Box Set)ġ990 - Tales From The Brothers Gibb - (4 Disc Box Set)
