So sad to lose two music legends in such s short time.
ReplyDeleteCancer sucks.
This saddens me so much.
ReplyDeleteI do hate that people always refer to them as a "disco group" because they were so much more. Disco was only a part of it. Beautiful harmonies on lovely songs for so many years.
What Syko said.
DeleteThe Bee Gees were the soundtrack of my life for much of the 70s, 80s & 90s. My prayers go out to the Gibb family.
Thank you Enty for posting this tonight. I know you must have a life away from the computer, but I for one am extremely grateful to learn about Mr. Gibb's passing from you.
ReplyDeleteI am glad he is not in pain anymore.
ReplyDeleteHeard about this while watching NBC Nightly News.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sad. He really suffered. I can't even begin to imagine how Barry is feeling, having now survived his three brothers.
Saw the Bee Gees many times in concert - what a treat. And as Syko said, they had many hits that pre-dated the disco era.
Awe, truly sad. I'm also glad he's not suffering any longer. It was his time. RIP
ReplyDeleteRIP Robin. I remember being chased through the school yard and ridiculed because of my Bee Gees lunchbox. I loved their harmonies, collaborations with other artists and the diversity of their music style. I have the same birthday as the twins and will miss them!
ReplyDeleteMay has been a rough month - 3 icons, dead of fucking cancer. RIP Robin. :(
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news. Our entire family is now gathered in the living room listening to our favorite tunes from the guys. Awful for Barry to lose a 3rd brother. Sending out hugs and good wishes to his loved ones.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Been playing Andy Gibbs I Just want to Be Your Everything - they all sang on that.. beautiful sounds. Also thinking about Kenny Everett's skit about the Gibbs. Makes me laugh still, but it was quite respectful...
ReplyDeleteI have to post it http://youtu.be/TsE-Dqok5mY This was from the 80's as I recall...
Seriously sad about this. I believe their mother is still alive. Can you imagine losing 3 sons?
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of their music and serious talent.
P.S. Though I love their disco music, as Syko said is true. They had such a huge volume of work and were pretty huge in the 60s.
ReplyDeleteSo much before disco. And Robin sang lead on much of the early work.
ReplyDeleteIn the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
Those gentlemen were always on my radar because they were true Miami people. Faced with enough money to live anywhere in the world, they chose my favorite little strip of real estate, where the sunlight and ocean and people were always perfect. My best friend managed a video store that various Gibbs would show up at, renting DVD's and buying candy. Such good people!
ReplyDeleteWow, a Bee Gee, a Beastie Boy, and the Queen of Disco; all creative pioneers.
ReplyDelete@Jennifer H. - we lost Levon Helm this last month too. Grieving for my youth here.
ReplyDeleteThis has just been a terrible month for losses.
ReplyDeleteRIP Robin, I'll keep on playing your music.
Great video, love me some Bee Gees
ReplyDeleteLiver cancer is so painful--I pray that he found some sort of peace at the end. May he find his way home with ease.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the music
ReplyDeleteBe at Peace
Be at Peace
Oh no....RIP Robin
ReplyDeleteHey and Disco came so much later, they were really an all around 60's - 70's band who kept evolving...
1997 concert in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Best concert experience of my life. Oh, I am so sad. RIP.
ReplyDeleteSO sad about this. I have so many memories from various times in my life, with various people, when the Bee Gees were involved. Poor Barry with THREE brothers taken FAR too soon, all of them. And the rest of the family...my hearts just breaks for them. Even though everyone knew the end was coming, I'm glad he came out of the coma and had one more month to love and be loved by those closest to him.
ReplyDeleteI had to start the day by hearing "Massachusetts," one of my faves. Wish I'd brought SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER to work to jam to.
@AgentIt...my husband was at the 1997 concert, too!
ReplyDeleteMy husband & I love the Bee Gees. He knows all their music, even our boys appreciate & sing their songs, too. Beautiful harmony! Still miss Andy & Maurice...Robin, we're sorry you're gone, but glad you're no longer suffering. My son learned to play This Is Where I Came In on the guitar last night. The music lives on!
Great photo Enty, These guys were so great, they will always bring smiles when though of and heard.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Robin,
you were adored.
@TSA - I make the kids watch the DVD with me every year on my birthday. They love it.
