I've always loved the music of the Gibb brothers, Barry, Robin and Maurice. Ever since the sixties, they had been releasing hit after hit after hit..
One of their earliest hits is "To Love Somebody" ...
Another early hit was "I Started a Joke" ...
"Words" was another great number ...
In the disco era of the mid 70's, came "Night Fever" ...
And of course their masterpiece (according to me at least) "How Deep is Your Love" ...
Enjoy !

"Saturday Night Fever" was the defining cultural movie of our time. Can you do the Hustle? Chicken Dance? Boogie? hehehe
ReplyDeleteFabulous music. Evergreen. Never get tired of hearing them.
ReplyDeleteBee Gee no more, rite? I heard one of them has died leh ?
ReplyDeleteJusst like Lobo , these songs are good to listen to all the time. Never go out of fashion or popularity. Who is going to Lobo concert in KL or Sing?
ReplyDeleteThe Bee Gees' story would be incomplete without mentioning the Movie "Melody" or "SWALK" - starring Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde.
ReplyDeleteThe Bee Gees immortalized some of the scenes in the movies through songs like " Melody Fair " and "In the Morning"
The scene where the innocent Tracy ran to meet her father, carrying a little goldfish in a jar still remain fresh in many of our minds. That was in 1972 and the movie was screened at Lido Cinema ( Jalan Sekama )
Another great BGees' hit was " Don't Forget To Remember "
Incidentally, Bee Gees stand for "Brothers Gibb"
Thanks, WJ for re-living our younger days through your postings. Great Job ! Cheers !
Class of 2000, never was there a Bee Gee.
ReplyDeleteBut Bee Gees lives on in our hearts despite the demise of Maurice.
Run to Me, How can you mend a broken heart and also Alone are some of my many fav Bee Gees Songs.
Hello anonymous sept 29 11.15am. Those were the nice days! Would be nicer, if there weren't so many "lamp posts" around in Sidcup. hahahaha.

ReplyDeleteShe knows that life is a running race,
Her face shouldn't show any line.
Melody Fair won't you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a woman.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a girl. Ah...
Who is the girl at the window pane, watching the rain falling down?
Melody, life isn't like the rain ; its just like a merry go round.
