THE 100 BEST SONGS

WRITTEN BY THE

BEE GEES

  

 

The Bee Gees was a trio consisting of 3 siblings: older brother Barry (born in Manchester in 1946), and twins Maurice and Robin Gibb (born Isle Of Man in 1949). The brothers first performed in Manchester in 1955. Three years later, the Gibb family emigrated to Brisbane, Australia. Today, the group is regarded one of the most successful music acts of all-time.

GUILTY Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb

The title track from the ‘Guilty’ album is the only song written by all three Bee Gees members for that project. Recorded as a duet by Barbra Streisand with Barry, the song peaked at #3 in the U.S.A. and was a Top 40 hit in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and various European markets.

TRAGEDY Bee Gees

Any concerns that the Bee Gees could follow up the staggering success of ‘Saturday Night Fever’ evaporated with the release of this, the second single off ‘Spirits Having Flown’. In 1979, the song reached #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. In America, this was the trio’s fifth chart-topping disc. “Tragedy” also rose to number one in Canada, Europe and New Zealand. The single peaked at #2 in Australia.
