Happy # 59 to Robin Gibb


Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees is 59 this week. (His twin brother Maurice died in 2003)

Along with Barry and the aforementioned Maurice, the three brothers formed
The Bee Gees. They wrote and recorded some of the greatest songs of the pop era.

The Gibbs were born in England but grew up in Australia. By 1967, when Barry was 21 and the twins were only 18, The Bee Gees hit the US charts with "New York Mining Disaster". As they say, the brothers had a lot of international hits after that!

Robin's voice gave The Bee Gees a very special sound. He sang the lead vocals in several of The Bee Gees' big hits, such as "I started a joke".

It's hard to pick a favorite. This is one of my real favorites from the "Horizontal" album. This is "And the sun will shine":
