The Brothers Gibb. Perhaps the key word and the principal reason for the truly staggering achievements of the Bee Gees as songwriters and performers is “Brothers”.
The relationship is so close, there for life, yet at times so difficult to control, has inspired and dogged so many talented musicians besides Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibbs. It has given those outside the brotherhood a wonderful and lasting treasury of music; it has given the three inside triumph and tragedy, but above all the knowledge that their contribution to popular culture is permanent, substantial and, at last, fully appreciated.
They write and sing of love, death, the night, the dance, good times, bad times, optimism and loss. The rhythms are at all times seductive, irresistible; the images of the words at times simple, at times subtle; the melodies ever graceful, the voices unmistakeable and close. They have lived their music from an indecently early age; they have grown up through their work, they have arrived at the summit and their journey is not yet complete. It’s not only words. They sing of immortality.
