The Bee Gees
The Bee Gees are the guys who wrote the biggest
popular hit songs of my generation. Saturday Night Fever,
Staying Alive, Jive Talkin, More Than A Woman, Tragedy...
The list just goes on and on... I was discussing my Music
Greats list with a friend who argued I couldn't include The
Bee Gees and expect to be taken seriously! I argued that I
couldn't do a website on Music Greats WITHOUT including The
Bee Gees! The three Gibbs brothers are simply incredible,
original talents, together they are awesome. But, for me,
Barry Gibb and his falsetto voice has stamped the trademark
Bee Gees sound with his own truly original fingerprint and
in 1978, Barry Gibb became the only songwriter to have four
straight number one hits in the U.S.A, breaking the John Lennon
and Paul McCartney 1964 record. These songs were Stayin' Alive,
Love Is Thicker Than Water, Night Fever, and If I Can't Have
You.
Even today, when I hear Saturday Night Fever
being played, the hairs on the back of my neck leap to attention.
I want to dance and grab the nearest girl. I'm eighteen again
and, thanks to the Bee Gees, I feel great! My deep respect
to you guys... awesome talent!
